【题目】 Imagine if your journey to work was from your bedroom to your living room. More and more people in the UK are doing their jobs at home.

David works as an engineer in a London factory. He's been an engineer since he left school-but he is feeling less hopeful about his future. Heavy industry in the UK has almost disappeared. David also gets tired of his long train journey to work. It can take up to two hours a day.

David's wife, Helen, seldom travels to work at all. She is a writer. After she sent her children to school, she starts to work in front of her computer screen. When she finishes her books, she sends them to her director by email.

Most people in the UK, like David come(经常往返)to work, but an increasing number of people work as teleworkers.

So what are the advantages? Tele-workers can save hours by not traveling to work. "I hated my journey to work," says Helen. "Now all I have to do is to walk downstairs!" Many teleworkers say that working from home is much less stressful-good news for both workers and managers.

So is telecommuting( 远程办公)for everyone? "It, hard at first ",says Helen," because our living mom is also my office, and disciplining yourself(自我控制)to work from home can be difficult.

But overall, I love it.

1More and more people in the UK, doing their jobs at home.

2David is also interested in his long train journey to work

3When David's wife finishes her books, she sends them electronically to her director.

4Teleworkers can't save hours by working at home.

5The article mainly tells us a new way of working.

Recent years have witnessed the running of bikes across China. An increase number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplace or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike had 5 . 85 million active users while Ofo had 1 . 4 million in the first week of this year.

People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smart phones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in the public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people because they help solve "last-mile" problems in cities. (3) For example, people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they got off trains or to travel around the city.

However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism(故意破坏) and theft. In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention (行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.

In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. (4) To deal with these problems, the company come up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to the stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

Now, Chinese service organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100 -point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drop below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.

【题目】 Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans — a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didnt work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上)into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neural disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.

At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.

Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation(处境) is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

【题目】 Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢) situation.

Plogging began in Sweden(瑞典). The name“plogging" comes from two words -the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means“to pick up”, and the word "jogging", which means“to run slowly". A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.

He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more.

Then he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish.To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon the new way to exercise became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter(散落) all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work.

Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里). According to a research,plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up!②是我们一起采取行动的时候了。So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!

1What does "plogging”mean?

___________________________________________________________________

2After Erik saw much rubbish, did he continue riding a bike to work?

________________________________________________________

3Why do people choose plogging?
