On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne. Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3,500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest. At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world.

Jesse’s family played an important role. “I was made to believe I could do anything, although there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive” he says. “People that I looked up to, respected and trusted told me I couldn’t. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat couldn’t be ready by the time I had to leave.” However, through perseverance(坚持不懈) and belief in himself, he was able to do what many told him was impossible.

On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.

I love running. I started running in 2016, look forward to building up my body. Every weekday I stay actively by running on the track with other student. On weekends, in company by my father, I typically get out to explore the neighborhood in that I live. If the weather is bad, I usually take my advantage of the treadmill(跑步机)at home．The other day I go for a 22-km run.

Dear Jim,

Here is a piece of news which may appeal to you. Our school English paper will hold a essay competition which theme is “Natural Disasters”. I’d like invite you to take part in it.

It is well-known that many natural disasters occurs every year in America, cause great damage. You can introduce some mainly natural disasters, such as tornadoes and hurricane and tell some common sense about them. For example, we can introduce how they happen, what harm they may cause, or what you can do in the face of disasters. In China, we also face many natural disasters, but the measures you take may benefit us.

The deadline is on June 8th, 2019. I'm looking forward to your article.

Yours,

Li Hua

Each time I take the underground I find myself 【1】 (surround) by dozens of passengers playing smart-phones. They almost won’t even give a glance at the outside world. You may think it is normal to play smart-phones 【2】 (kill) time. What’s worse, when I talk with some of my friends, they talk as playing, which is really an 【3】 (annoy).

I really miss the old days when I 【4】 (chat) with some passengers on the train. Now things are different.

Everyone just concentrates 【5】 their smart-phones. When talking with them, 【6】 seems that you are disturbing their playing smart-phones. I could not just blame them for I am moving to be one like them. Sometimes I just feel we 【7】 (large) ignore our neighbors and want to keep in touch with 【8】 (distance) strangers through the Internet. We care about the things far away but pay no attention to the needs nearby. 【9】 ridiculous the situation is! In a way we 【10】 (control) by smart-phones now. Are you experiencing the same situation like me? Do you have any ways to avoid that?

A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.

Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.

The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.

The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.

【1】What does the new study tell us?

A.Childhood memories decline with years.

B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.

C.Childhood memories can fade easily.

D.Some adults cannot recall past events.

【2】What does the underlined word “persist” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Change.B.Remain.

C.Appear.D.Return.

【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.

B.Children can think like adults when they get older.

C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.

D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.

【4】In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.

A.refused to discuss the same events

B.remembered all their family outings

“I was really excited for her to do that," Mayor Karen Weaver told TMZ. “I think she was very brave because so many times you say who you are and where you're from and just general information. For her to take that opportunity and use her platform and use her voice to speak up about what‘s going on in Michigan and in Flint, in particular, was just amazing. ”

Emily Sioma,24,introduced herself on stage on Sunday by saying,“From the state with 84 percent of the U. S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink. I am Miss Michigan Emily Sioma.” The brief ‘speech was a reference to Flint, a town with lead-filled drinking water.

Weaver said Sioma's decision to speak about the Flint water crisis demonstrated her impressive character. “I applaud her for being a brave young woman. And it also shows you that she’s not a selfish person," Weaver said. “She could have talked only about herself, but she chose to use this opportunity to bring attention to, and keep attention on, what’s going on in Flint, what’s going on with water quality standards what's going on with this broken infrastructure(基础设施) that we have across the country. "

Ratings showed that 4. 3 million viewers watched the ABC program. Although Miss New York Nia Imani Franklin ultimately won the competition, many Twitter users quickly got behind Sioma, who did not make the final 15, after her introduction.

“Emily Sioma wanted to make an impact,” one Twitter user wrote on Sunday. Regardless of whether you agree with what she said or not- she is shining light on a pressing issue that we have in our state and that is still not solved. That, is a Miss America."

【1】What does the underlined word “water crisis' refer to in Paragraph 1?

A.Water transportation.B.Water shortage.

C.Water reservation.D.Water quality.

【2】How does the mayor find Emily Sioma?

A.Curious and cautious.B.Brave and unselfish.

C.Proud and admirable.D.Talkative and outgoing.

【3】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5?

A.Summarize the previous paragraphs.B.Introduce the ABC program.

C.Emphasize Sioma's influence.D.Add some background information.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.The Mayor of FlintB.A Twitter Voice

C.The ABC CompetitionD.A Miss America
