2.Are you too old for fairy tales?If you think so,Copenhagen is sure to change your mind.
Copenhagen is a city on a human scale.You don't have to hurry to walk the city's center in less than an hour.Exploring it will take much longer.But that's easy.Copenhagen was the first city to declare a street for pedestrians only.The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.
Stroll away from the harbor along the riverbanks,and you'll see the modest Amalienborg Palace first.Completed in the mid-18th century,it still houses the royal family.The Danish Royal Guard is on duty.At noon,you'll watch the changing of the guard.The guards are not just for show,however.Danes will always remember their heroism on April 9,1940.When the Nazis invaded Denmark,the guards aimed their guns and fired.Soldiers fell on both sides.The guards would all have been killed if the king hadn't ordered them to surrender.
Churches and castles are almost all that remain of the original city.Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445.During the late 16th century,trade grew,and so did the city.But fire in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden structures.Much of what we see today dates from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Keep going,to the Christiansborg Palace.The town of Copenhagen began here.Stop and visit medieval castle.Parliament and the Royal Reception Chambers are open,too.
You'll usually see them dressed casually,though they are among Europe's rich people.Danes are taught not to stand out in a crowd.But they do know how to party,especially during holidays.
To see them having fun,and to have some fun yourself,cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens.You won't be alone.More than five million people a year come here.They come to dance,dine,take in outdoor and indoor concerts,see ballets and laugh at the comedy.One tip:Bring a lot of money.About 20 restaurants are among the city's most expensive.Even without money,you can still enjoy the proud old trees,the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens.You might feel as if you are in a fairy tale.

63.Which of the following description about Copenhagen is right?B.
A.You can't walk the walk the city's center in less than an hour.
B.Many of the structures in Copenhagen were destroyed in 1728 and 1795.
C.Copenhagen is the only city to declare a street for pedestrians only.
D.People in Copenhagen don't like to stand out in a crowd,nor do they like party.
64.What's the main function of the Danish Royal Guard?D.
A.for show
B.to maintain social order
C.defend Denmark against the Nazis
D.to protect Amalienborg Palace and the king
65.What does the underlined word"them"refer to?B.

8.Tech Breakthrough on Nib(笔尖) to Help China's Ballpoint Industry
With an annual production of 40billion ballpoint pens,Chinese ballpoint pen companies could finally end its total dependence on imports of high standard steel for pen nib as breakthrough technology on the part has been proven a success.
Beifa,a leading stationery brand in China,is testing out some pen refills (笔芯) made with"pen nib steel"for the sixth round.The refills have to be capable of writing 800 meters without a break under the same writing angle to pass the test.
Some other stationery brands like TrueColor have also started using the steel in their products.
The steel is likely to replace imported materials completely in two years.
Currently,more than 40billion ballpoint pens are produced in China annually by more than 3,000companies and 200,000workers.
The secret"pen nib steel"
A ballpoint is made up of a ball and a ball seat.The latter is the difficult part to produce,as the seat can only be made out of steel that is easy to cut but resistant to break while it is being made.
The core technique in producing such high-standard steel has been an industry secret only known to a small number of countries,including Japan and Switzerland.
China has to pay 15million US dollars every year to import more than 1,000tones of such steel for production.
But the situation is expected to change after China's Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co.figured out the production technique of"the pen nib steel"four months ago-that is,five years after the country started a ballpoint project,with Taigang as the leading participant.
Wang Huimian,a senior engineer with Taigang,said micro-elements are essential in turning raw steel into"pen nib steel"with perfect performance.To work out the right proportion of different elements,Wang said,Taigang's research team has conducted a massive number of experiments as they had no examples to follow or refer to.
After repeated failures,the company finally achieved success in a test in September 2016and later produced the first batch (批次) of pen nib steel with a diameter of 2.3mm.

7.Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger.But what can blind people do if they are allergic(过敏的)to dogs or just don't like them?For some people,the answer is provided by the Guide Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999.They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people.Miniature horses look just like regular horses,only much smaller.They are generally less than 34 inches tall.
Cuddles was the foundation's first guide horse in full service.She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw's helper.Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor.One night,while filling out a form to get a guide dog,Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind.Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time.He applied(申请),and a year later,Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.
On a trip to New York,Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square,a very busy part of the city at night.The next day,Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building,a famous tall building.Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty,and traveled on the subway system.
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles.He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.

11.According to statistics published by the University of Scranton,about 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year's resolutions------and the most popular resolution is losing weight.Of those who make resolutions,a mere 8 percent achieve them.
(36)AAre we just setting ourselves up for failure?Learn how to make realistic resolutions and how to overcome the roadblocks along the way.
   Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn't a goal that's achievable now.It may be a good long-term goal.(37)ERegistered dietitian Elisa Zied says"…to be real when you make a resolution.It's okay to shoot for the stars like making a resolution,but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?"
The same concept applies to weight loss.(38)CThese goals should help develop healthy habits that will finally help achieve your long-term resolution.
Notice that these goals are simple and achievable."Instead of going from zero to 60,from never going to the gym to going four to five times a week,why not start with three days a week,get consistent and build from there,"Zied says.Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active.(39)FYou also need to be aware of your current exercise and eating habits to make achievable goals.Keeping a diary of your food and exercise habits can help.Record everything you eat and drink for three to five days and review it.(40)BFor example,if you notice a tendency to snack on unhealthy fare,set a goal to eat a fruit or vegetable with each snack.Building on these smaller goals over time can help you achieve your long-term goal.

A.So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?
B.Once you notice your not-so-good habits,start fixing them.
C.Set between one to three weekly goals that you want to achieve.
D.Resolutions usually involve a commitment to sticking to your goals.
E.However,in order to reach it,you need to take baby steps to get it down.
F.If you treat your goals like set appointment,you're more likely to achieve them.
G.Losing weight,as well as getting a better job,is among the most popular resolutions for adults.
