• 1．So how do you kill time to relax yourself？Here are some of the things my friends and I did to have fun without modern conveniences last month.
     Card games
     Playing cards can bring hours of fun!It is the most common card game.You only need a pack of cards.The games include 'President'，'Cheat' and a take on the game 'UNO'.
     Hunt the thimble
     One player hides a thimble or another small object in a room，while the other players stay outside.The other players then return to the room and look for the object.The player who hid the thimble can give clues or say 'hot' or 'cold' depending on how close the players are to the object.The person who finds the item first wins.
     Board games
     Board games are great at helping pass the time on a dull day.In the game，players have to deduce（推斷）the mystery of the story.For example，when solving the mystery of the broken toy，players have to discover which toy it was，who broke it，and when it was broken.
     Consequences
     This is a very amusing game.All you need is a pen and piece of paper for each person in the group.Everyone writes the beginning of a story.Then it is passed to the next person in the circle，who writes the next word or sentence.But the challenge is that the paper is folded so that only the most recent phrase can be seen before being passed again to the next player，who writes the next line and so on.After ten sentences have been written，the whole story is seen clearly.Usually there will be some funny stories to make you laugh!

• 2．Ferrell got the standard well wishes on the website on her 53rd birthday，but she got some unusual messages too.One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer.His older brother was heartbroken.Could Ferrell help？
     That message was exactly what Ferrell was looking for.To celebrate her 53rd，the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website.She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month，and she needed information on people who could use one.When she got the note about the California family，she sent a wind chime（風鈴）with the message "Listen to the wind and know that I am near" carved on jye.ai.It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom，where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants.
     This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday.For her 47th，she founded Love with Skin On，an organization devoted to doing good deeds.Over the years，F(xiàn)errell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers，some found online，others with help from her grandkids.In another act of giving，she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use.
     Ferrell pays for everything herself：gift cards and care packages.Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else，which she naturally ignores. "I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like 'YESSS!'" It's Ferrell's party，and she'll give if she wants to.
  
  （1）Why did Ferrell send the California family a wind chime？

  
  A．To bring a message to the family.

  B．She did 53 acts of kindness in total.
  C．She helped people in trouble in different ways.
  D．She set up an organization to celebrate her birthday.
  （3）Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell？

  
  A．Gifted and modest.
  B．Caring and generous.
  C．Humorous and thoughtful.
  D．Determined and confident.
  （4）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．To give is better than to receive.
  B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
  C．God helps those who help themselves.
  D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

• 3．"Pale Moon rains.Red Moon blows.White Moon neither rains nor snows." For generations，people have watched the Moon for signs of changes in the weajye.air.The Moon does，in fact，affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns in different ways.
     The most obvious effect the Moon has on the Earth can be seen in the ocean tides.A world without tides would have very different weather systems.Tides are one factor that influences the movement of ocean currents，which move warm or cool water around the Earth.Thus，the water temperature changes.Warm ocean currents bring warmer and wetter weather，while cold ocean currents bring colder and drier weather.
     The Moon is also thought to affect polar temperatures and contribute to fluctuations in the amount of Arctic ice.Tidal forces（潮汐力）act to break up ice sheets and change ocean heat flows，changing the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean.Satellite measurements have shown that the poles are 0.55℃ warmer during a full Moon.
     The Moon's influence，sometimes slight and sometimes strong，has had an important impact on life on Earth.Some scientists argue that it is the Moon that made life possible in the first place.The Moon makes the Earth move steadily as it is spinning（自轉(zhuǎn)），helping to give us a steady climate.Without it，the Earth would lose balance.The Moon is our closest friend，without which the Earth would be a very lonely place.
  
  （1）Why do people watch the Moon according to Paragraph 1？

  
  A．To appreciate the moon.
  B．To record weather patterns.
  C．To prepare for extreme weather.
  D．To observe signs of weather changes.
  （2）What impact does the Moon have on the Earth？

  
  A．It influences water temperature.
  B．It makes weather hard to predict.
  C．It turns the earth colder and drier.
  D．It changes the size of ocean currents.
  （3）What does the underlined word "fluctuations" mean？

  
  A．Change.
  B．Increase.
  C．Flow.
  D．Measurement.
  （4）What is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Changes of Ocean Heat Flows
  B．Patterns of the Earth's Climate
  C．Causes of Changes in Polar Weather
  D．Effects of the Moon on Global Weather

• 4．When I'm on my social media，I sometimes feel like I'm in a modern，virtual agora of ancient Greek city-states.This was the center of town，the place where business was conducted，goods were bought and sold，and ideas were exchanged.For many people，the agora was not just a marketplace；it was the stage on which the dramas of daily life started.Social media now provides that space.
     In the age of social media，we may be returning to a state in which a thinker's wisdom relies on his ability to perform it.That is to say，we are able to transform that performance into online information.
     Some of the best-known public people of the present day have realized this.Jordan Poterson and Brené Brown，for example，have lots of followings across their social media platforms，using them as major platforms to spread their ideas.While neither of them may call themselves as philosophers，both deal with basic philosophical ideas about happiness and how to live.
     However，could the competitive performance of wisdom fully show whether people really owned it？Plato thought it might be a problem，and it can also be seen from the "Information War" of the present day.So，what if you're good at social media - does that mean that you have anything of value to say？Popularity may be measured by likes，but wisdom is not.
  
  （1）What do social media and the Greek agora have in common？

  
  A．They focus on trade of goods.
  B．They offer a stage to do dramas.
  C．They are both the center of town.
  D．They allow ideas to be exchanged.
  （2）What does the underlined word "this" refer to？

  
  A．Returning to ancient Greek city-states.
  B．Transforming old habits into new ones.
  C．Using social media to spread their ideas.
  D．Building a stage to put on some performances.
  （3）How does the author prove his idea in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．By giving examples.
  B．By using a quotation.
  C．By making a comparison.
  D．By providing research data.
  （4）Where is the text probably from？

  
  A．A guidebook.
  B．A magazine.
  C．A textbook.
  D．A novel.

• 5．Whether it's to improve your fitness，health or environment，taking up bicycle riding can be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
     Save the planet
     （1）

  .Twenty bicycles can be parked in the same space as one car.It takes around 5 percent of the materials and energy used to make a car to build a bike，and a bike produces zero pollution.
     （2）

  .
     Cycling just 20 miles a week reduces your risk of heart disease to less than half that of those who take no exercise.Studies from Purdue University in the US have shown that regular cycling can cut your risk of heart disease by 50 percent.
     Enjoy healthy family time
     Cycling is an activity the whole family can do together.It's kind on your joints，and there's nothing to stop grandparents joining in too.Moreover，your riding habit can be sowing the seeds for your kids.（3）

  .Put simply，if your kids see you riding regularly，they will think it's normal and want to follow your example.
     Increase your brain power
     Do you want to be smarter and increase your brain power？（4）

  .That's because cycling helps build new brain cells in the hippocampus-the part responsible for memory which goes worse from the age of 30.（5）

  .It increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
     Make you happy
     Even if you're not in a good mood，just three 30-minute rides a week can be enough to give people the lift they need.
  
  A.Then just go cycling
  B.Keep your heart strong
  C.Make creative breakthroughs
  D.Bicycles can save a lot of space
  E.The benefits of cycling is beyond words
  F.Cycling through the miles will lift your spirits
  G.They are influenced by their parents' exercise choices
