“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me?” That’s voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from Philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet(彗星)in 2014. However, its transmissions (传输信号)back home went silent since then.

It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system (太阳系)and reach comet 67P/C-G. The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014．

Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it  jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work.

However，as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.

“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well,”says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency.“We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions.”

1.Hearing Philae’s voice，those people must have felt_______________.

A. afraid B. calm

C. excited D. worried.

2.According to the text, Philae_______________.

A. was damaged when it landed

B. moved around comet 67P/C-G

C. needs light and gas to keep working

D. helps scientists learn about a comet

3.What Stephan says in the text suggests that ____________.

A. Rosetta will move around another comet

B. Philae will continue to work for scientists

C. most comets are as wide as four kilometers

D. he wonders whether Philae is still alive

4.What does the author mainly talk about in the text?

A. A sleeping space vehicle wakes up．

B. It is very dangerous to travel in space.

C. A new comet was discovered recently.

D. Philae was sent into space successfully.

When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

1.Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.

A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery

C. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother.

2.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?

A. He wanted to have tea there.

B. He was a respectable person.

C. He was treated as a family member.

D. He was fully trusted by the family.

3.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

B. It has been driven out of the market.

C. Its service is getting poor.

D. It is forbidden by law.

4.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A. He missed the good old days.

B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C. He missed it for his milk bottles.

D. He planted flowers in it.

Recently, a famous basketball player has caused public angry by writing on the Great wall. In the fact, this happens in many place of interest. I had some suggestions to solve this problem.

First, make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti(涂鸦). Besides, punishments, such as a fine, is necessary to tourists with so bad behaviors. Also, I think it’s helpfully to put up some boards along the tourist attractions that tourists can leave messages.

I’m sure with our efforts, more and more people will become concerning about protecting cultural relics.

Nearly 19 percent of teachers of color(有色人种教师) left their jobs after the 2014-2015 school year. Some left for personal reasons like taking care of their families. But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority.

For years, researchers have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的) schools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school.

The Shanker Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions.

Diversity is a key component to equality and opportunity. Where there’s a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more money should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color.

1.Among teachers of color leaving their jobs, half of them quit because _______.

A. they had to take care of their children

B. they had to move to other places

C. they eventually found better-paid jobs

D. their employment situation was unsatisfactory

2.Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A. The solutions to increasing graduation rates among minority students.

B. The benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools.

C. The reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools.

D. The ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school.

3.Which of the following components is vital to equality and opportunity?

A. Honesty B. Variety

C. Ability D. Safety

4.How did the author feel when writing the passage?

A. He felt angry about the government.

B. He was satisfied with the present situation.

C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem.

D. He didn’t care about diverse teaching workforce.

"Only a few years and you'll be an adult!"It's true that in two years I'll be 18,and that will make me legally an adult.But it's also just a number.It doesn't come with a magical moment where you know all the stuff adults are supposed to know how to do.It doesn't make responsibilities easier.It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes and work at Walmart（沃尔玛）.You can start being a "grown up" long before then or long after.

This thought all started hack in July when my friend,Dakota,officially flew out for military basic training in Oklahoma.He's 17.He can't rent a movie from most places,but he can defend our country.I didn't realize how much his actual departure would affect me arid the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.

Then,in September,my best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London.She's 18.She's worked ridiculously hard,and slaved over textbooks to get the perfect grades.Now,she's booking her own plane tickets,going grocery shopping,being in complete control of' her personal life.I have a basic idea of how a loan works,but applying for one?Forget it.I don't even have a credit card.My other friends are growing up around me,making decisions,that will affect the rest of their life.Where do I fit in?My life is so different from the standard,it's hard to compare.I'm home-schooled.I have been fashion blogging since I was 13,an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world.Earlier this year,I landed my first Teen Vogue feature and worked with the Disney Channel.But if you add that up,it doesn't equal adult,it equals an accomplished teenager.

I made myself a list of "Things to Learn Before I Grown Up".Number one?Figure out the whole loan thing.But it's also important to me to enjoy being young.I like having my mom cook for me,and getting to just be goofy（傻瓜的）sometimes without worry.So in conclusion,my point is this: being a grownup is less about your age,and more about what you do with your life.
