As computers become more popular in China,Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters.But if they use the computer too much,they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper.Experts suggest people,especially students,write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more?In Beijing,students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students.Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly,problems appear.

“When I’m writing with a pen,I find I often can’t remember how to write a character,though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about.Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer,why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently.Shi Liwei,headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,“Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value.All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost.And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting,people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more,many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities,some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”

Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

A. words will never hurt us at all

D. Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.

3.The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.

A. blame ourselves B. punish ourselves

C. praise ourselves D. talk to ourselves

4.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?

A. It is better to think twice before talking to others.

B. It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.

C. Words always possess long positive effects.

D. Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.

Ants are troublesome, best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics. But, a new species of crazy ant is taking over Texas. In some ways they appear to be worse than fire ants and there's no good way to stop them* These ants move fast and are plentiful in some areas.

The crazy ants first sprang in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of a problem ever since.“An invasion of these can be so extreme that it's hard to call it just a nuisance," University of Texas entomologist Edward LeBrun told The Austin American-tatesman. “The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions, appliances and other electronic devices. No one is entirely sure why," He said.

David Oi , a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture, told The New York Times in 2013, the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself can't be ruled out.

The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep, that's actually what they are called-are found in 23 Texas counties. The ants have very little venom（毒液）, but do cause a slight sting when they bite. Mostly, though, they're a hazard to electrical equipment.

They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control or kill the population. And, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much that can be done about them right now. So, for the moment, the best advice is not to stay close to ant piles and groups. and hope that none make it inside to crawl around the electronics.

1.What do the ants do in Texas?

A. Bite some people. B. Damage local crops.

C. Destroy appliances. D. Pollute environment.

2.The underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to " ”.

A. story B. problem

C. visit D. failure

3.When meeting with ant piles, we'd better .

A. kill them all B. control them

C. drive them away D. stay away from them

4.What can we know from the text ?

A. The crazy ants first. appeared in Texas in 2013.

B. The crazy ants cause huge loss to the people in Texas.

C. The government is taking measures to deal with the ant.

D. David Oi is sure why the ants ruin electronic devices.

Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world’s beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.

The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It’s also where Sydney’s two most famous landmarks are located — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.

The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Daring Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water’s edge.

If you don’t feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches? It’s only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精品店).

1.What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?

A. Its traditional culture. B. its beaches and hotels.

C. The traffic system. D. The 2000 Olympics.

2.If you want to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you should choose one in __________ .

A. Circular Quay B. Darling Harbor

C. Manly D. Sydney Harbor Bridge

3.The underlined part “hustle and bustle” in the last paragraph may refer to _________.

A. hot climate B. serious pollution

C. busy noisy activities D. slow-moving traffic

It may seem like a moment in a science fiction movie. In a fierce battle, a creature loses an arm but, then, grows another one to take its place.

However, this is not science fiction. It is scientific fact. Some fish and amphibians, such as salamanders, can regrow lost limbs and organs.

As mammals evolved they lost the ability to regrow, or regenerate, parts of their body. However, experiments show that it may be possible to regain that ability.

Tropical freshwater zebrafish are popular pets. They are also popular as lab animals. Their embryos(胚胎) are clear, or translucent. They can regrow damaged fins, skin and hearts. Zebrafish are also genetically（基因地） similar to humans.

In 2013, the website Sci-News reported that researchers had found that 70 per cent of “protein-coding human genes” are related to genes found in the zebrafish. The report also said that researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Britain also found that 84 per cent of genes known to be connected to human disease have a zebrafish counterpart.

Scientist Wang Yadong is one of the Pittsburg researchers. He and his team are studying the ability of zebrafish to regenerate limbs and organs. Wang says you can cut away about 20 per cent of the zebrafish heart and it will regenerate. He add that same process may be able to help humans.

Scientists injected（注射） an “extracellular matrix,” or ECM, from the heart of a zebrafish into a severely damaged mouse heart. They found that the heart muscle regrew in days. They found something else. The healing was even faster when the ECM was taken from zebrafish that was itself in the process of re-growing damaged tissue.

1.The main reason why the zebrafish were chosen as lab animals is that _____________ .

A. they are popular pets

B. their bodies are clear to study

C. they are genetically similar to humans

D. they are easy to find for the researchers

2.What does the underlined word “counterpart” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. A similar thing.

B. A different fish.

C. A human being.

D. A little mouse.

3.After injecting ECM from a zebrafish into the damaged mouse heart, what did scientists find?

A. The zebrafish died quickly.

B. The mouse heart regrew in days.

C. The zebrafish heart regrew quickly.

D. The mouse healed more slowly than normal.

4.Where is the most probably taken from?

A. A science fiction.

B. A guide book.

C. A fashion magazine.

D. A science report.
