Tony is a 24-year-old man from the United Kingdom. He often wears the same cloths for many days because he doesn't know how to use a washing machine.

This is not a joke. Tony is not the only young person who doesn¡¯t have basic life skills. According to a recent study by You Gov, a UK market research company, today¡¯s young people in the UK are less capable than older generations when it comes to basic life skills.

For example, about 35%don¡¯t know how to sew on a button and 11% don¡¯t understand how to change a light bulb or iron(ìÙ) clothes.

Technology may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in an age of rapid technology process, young people know more about using phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read physical map. However, this does not mean that younger generations are unable to complete basic everyday tasks. The Mirror¡¶¾µ±¨¡· noted that as their lives have changed, the life skills that they are good at have changed as well.

The study results show that although only 45% know how to pay their water and electricity bills after leaving home, 71% could help set up a Wi-Fi network in a new house.

1.Why does Tony wear the same clothes for many days?

A.Because he likes to play tricks on others B.Because he doesn¡¯t know how to wash them.

C.Because he has developed it as a habit D.Because he doesn¡¯t have other clothes to change into.

2.Which of the following is not found by You Gov?

A.Many young people in the UK don¡¯t have basic life skills.

B.Younger generations in the UK don¡¯t have better life skills than older ones.

C.Eleven percents of the young people don¡¯t know how to iron clothes.

D.Many American young people are losing their basic life skills.

3.What does the underline word ¡°capable¡± in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.unable B.able C.disable D.clever

4.The author mentioned GPS is to show .

A.how important GPS is when we get lost B.it¡¯s convenient to find a place with a GPS

C.reading maps is difficult and unnecessary D.how the technology influences the life of young people

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Life Skills Are Disappearing. B.Life Skills Are Important.

C.Technology in Daily Life. D.Old Generations Are Smarter.

Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(»¯Ê¯È¼ÁÏ) cars mainly cause air pollution.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, µç¶¯³µ). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(ÆûÓÍ) is more expensive than charging (³äµç) an electric car£¬" said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(³äµç×®) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014£¬China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(¶þÑõ»¯Ì¼ÅÅ·ÅÁ¿) by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

1._______ mainly cause air pollution according to the passage.

A.Subways B.Sharing bikes C.Electric vehicles D.Fossil fuel cars

2.Over _______ electric vehicles were sold in China last year.

A.150, 600 B.167,000 C.301, 200 D.753,000

3.What does Wu Hao think of charging an electric car?

A.It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

B.It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

C.It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

D.It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

4.Which country has the world's largest EV charging network now?

A.America. B.Germany. C.China. D.England.

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A.China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

B.Electric cars will disappear in the future.

C.There is no problem using electric cars.

D.How to deal with air pollution.

A 108-year-old Message in a Bottle

On November 30, 1906, George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.

Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn¡¯t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn¡¯t want to damage it.

Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the card there was this message: The Marine Biological Association£¨º£ÑóÉúÎïѧЭ»á£© would pay a shilling£¨ÏÈÁ for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.

Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.

The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in ¡°Guinness World Records¡±£¨¼ªÄá˹ÊÀ½ç¼Í¼£©. She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.

Winkler¡¯s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents£¨ÑóÁ÷£© in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea¡¯s currents.

1.How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea?

2.Did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015?

3.What was in the bottle?

4.Who was George Bidder?

5.Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea?
