Eggs are great for breakfast and can【1】(cook) in different ways. One topic of debate, however, is why brown chicken eggs usually cost more than white ones. According to Sharman Hickman, the director of community outreach and education for Hickman's Family Farms, it's first important to know the reason【2】chickens have various egg colors.

The chicken breed(品种) and their genetics decide whether hens possess pigment genes, the natural chemical during the egg laying process that coats the egg and results【3】a colored shell. Hens who produce colored eggshells tend to be【4】(large) and require more feed and energy【5】(create) that painted layer. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs【6】(be) more expensive.

Although eggs sometimes look and are priced【7】(different) , it's important to know the color of the eggshell is related to the breed of the hen, not the egg's nutrient content, flavor profile,【8】shell thickness, according to Malina Linkas Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “【9】(choose) between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal【10】(prefer) ,” she says. Whatever you prefer, don't judge an egg by its shell color.

With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode. Soon, a traffic light turned red. For a split second, I prepared to get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the brake.

If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80 percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying the phenomenon. They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change, you should feel the same about car crashes.

Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text messages, and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers. The last one happened in 2009.

The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By offering a piece of news.B.By giving background information.

C.By describing an experience.D.By introducing a latest car.

【2】What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?

C.They felt less confident after making mistakes.

D.They performed better than computer systems.

【3】The author mentioned commercial airlines___________.

C.to find fault with computersD.to advertise for the commercial airlines

【4】What does the author expect of the self-driving car?

A.I'll avoid deadly crashes entirely.B.It'll occupy the market in a short time.

C.It'll be bettered in every possible way.D.It'll be popularized sooner than expected.

All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.

This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

【1】What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?

A.Many students are absent from class.

B.Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

C.Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.

D.Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.

【2】Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A.Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.

B.Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.

C.One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.

D.Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.

【3】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?

A.CriticizedB.GroupedC.OrganizedD.Named

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.Functions of the body clock.

B.The “night owl” phenomenon.

C.Human beings’ sleep behaviour.

D.The school schedule of “early birds”.

I start school when I was five. The classes were small and the teachers were friendly. At eleven I went to other school. Things didn’t go so well as before. I hated to study subject such as biology and physics and I got terribly marks in tests. My parents tried to teach me which I didn’t understand, but it didn’t help. I got very worrying about my exams. Even though I spent a lot of time review my lessons, I failed all the exams and had to take them again a few months late. That was the worst year of my school life. And I never gave up. Now I am proud my career as a successful engineer.

Daintree Rainforest

The main river of the rainforest is the Daintree River, and it also includes the Daintree National Park. If you are wondering why everything seems to share the name, the reason is simple-Richard Daintree was a famous Australian geologist and photographer. Plenty of options will take you there, including a ferry.

Valdivian Temperate Rainforest

This rainforest is known to be extremely foggy and humid, but some interesting species live there. Since it is on the coast, you can witness ice sheets and glaciers as well. Getting to the rainforest is most accessible from Santiago, the capital of Chile, and a train ride or a bus is a preferred option.

Congo Rainforest

This rainforest also features a large number of different plant and animal species, including gorillas, forest elephants, and lions. Visiting this rainforest is also recommended by using a tour company, preferably by finding one in the Republic of Congo.

Amazon Rainforest

It is estimated that we can find 16,000 different tree species in the Amazon rainforest.

When it comes to other plants, animals, and insects, the numbers are even more impressive. The especially interesting thing is that there is still a large number of undiscovered species. A tour guide is advised since going through the rainforest can be dangerous, with predatory creatures(食肉动物)running around.

【1】Which of the following is named after a person?

A.Daintree Rainforest.B.The capital of Chile.

The fast food chain【1】(former) known as "Maidanglao" recently changed its name to "Jingongmen",【2】translates to "Golden Arches."

Its previous name was【3】rough translation of its original English name and【4】(use) since the brand opened its first China outlet in 1990. "Maidanglao" literally(字面地)【5】(mean) "wheat serves labor.”

But are【6】(consumer) loving it. Apparently not. Sixth Tone reports that netizens are making fun of the name,【7】(joke)"Jingongmen sounds like a name for a Peking duck restaurant or a【8】(tradition) Chinese medicine store."

The name change officially took place【9】October 12, 2017 and will only be for company licensing purposes. The Paper notes that the company's main investor operation【10】(change)its name to "Golden Arches China Management Limited" in August.
