It can be tough to pull kids away from their computers and mobile devices these days. While
they're playing games, wouldn't it be great if they could be learning at the same time? Good
educational apps offer fun challenges that teach specific grade-level skills. Here are four that
combine fun and learning.
Understanding Math ($3.99; iOS)
Understanding Math goes beyond basic comprehension to gain a deeper understanding of the
whys and hows of math. The app tracks your child's progress to determine strengths and
weaknesses in different skill areas, and you can customize(改制）your child's learning experience
to suit the needs .
Word Creativity Kit ($2.99; iOS)
Word Creativity Kit aims not only to make creative writing fun but also build up grammar
rules. The app presents a series of words from seven categories, such as space or fantasy. Kids add
their own words to finish the complete thoughts that these words have inspired.
Barefoot World Atlas ($4.99; iOS)
Barefoot World Atlas helps kids learn about geography and world cultures with a touch of the
screen. Each region features a set of subtopics from wildlife and natural features to native , and
architecture . These facts and illustrations are delivered in photographs ,sounds, and hundreds of
mini videos.
My Grades & Homework (80.99; iOS)
A combination of grades and homework tracker, My Grades &Homework can help your child
stay organized and on top of the progress in school. A convenient calendar and course list format
offer a glance at your child's assignment schedule that he or she might not normally get from
standard homework planners.

Not very long ago, the question would have seemed absurd. Now it is on the lips of respected
scientists; MPs（议员）are beginning to talk of “a war on sugar”, and even England’s chief
medical officer has said sugar may have to be, like the old enemy tobacco, taxed in order to
protect the nation’s health.
There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking, when the doctors had been
shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left
for Government was: What should we do about it?
Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar. Others—largely but not
only representatives of the food and drink industry—say the entire debate has been skewed（歪
曲）by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous.
More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you. There is also no
doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant, avoidable burden on the NHS
by increasing the rates of diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions.
But to what extent is sugar—rather than saturated fats, or salt, carbohydrates or proteins, or
any of the other devils of modern diets—the cause of obesity and how much should we worry
about it?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Yesterday, hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity from the World Health
Organization （ WHO ） were confused once again, which, widely expected to reduce the
recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance, instead said it would continue to
recommend that sugar make up no more than 10 percent of the energy we consume, while adding
that cutting this to five percent would have “additional benefits”. The decision will now go out to
public consultation.
Simon Capewell, professor of the University of Liverpool, said that he suspected “dirty
work” on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO’s less than resounding
（强有力的）message.
4. What does the author indicate by referring to smoking?
A. People must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately.
B. It is not easy for authorities to restrict or ban something.
C. Sugar has just turned out to be as harmful as smoking.
D. It is easy for people to see bad effects of something.
5. WHO has changed its idea mainly because________.
A. it thinks the danger of sugar to health is emphasized too much
B. it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies
C. it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us good
D. it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do now
6. When reporting the argument about sugar, the author seems to________.
A. remain objective B. stand by those against it
C. believe it harmless D. hold the view of “wait-and-see”
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Is Sugar the New Evil? B. How Much Sugar Do You Take Daily?
C. Is Sugar to Be Taxed? D. How Much Do You Know about Sugar?
C
In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven
months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the
country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which
talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been
destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to
a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-
old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and
a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker
side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to
Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he
attends a mountain funeral( 葬 礼 ） followed by a strange drinking party. And in
Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles
from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a
well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are
decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel
nor a piece of
reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central
Asian traditions.
8.What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A. His friends' invitation.
B. His interest in the country.
C. His love for teaching.
D. His desire to regain health.
9 . What does the underlined word " that " in paragraph 2 refer to ?
A. Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
10. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Romantic. B. Eventful.
C. Pleasant. D. Dangerous.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂11.What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book.
B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To remember a writer.
D. To recommend a travel destination.

The problem of robocalls has got so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from
numbers they don't know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈）. We are
finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools,
apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it's too
little and too late. By the time these"solutions"become widely available, scammers will have
moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it's not just going to be the number you see on your
screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is
actually real.
That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulations(处理）,and automation
technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year's Google's
I/O conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing
human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without
detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The
reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data
breaches(数据泄露）of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily
learn your mother's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they're able to carry out
individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means that a scammer could call you from
what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your
bank teller's, tricking you into"confirming"your address,mother's name,and card
number.Scammers follow the money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still
done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice
manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real.
That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and
who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving toward data-based
communications-using like FaceTime Audio or WhatsApp,which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from
here on out .
12. How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls?
A . Frightened . B. Confused.
C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.
13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, what can scammers do?
A. Aim at victims precisely.
B.Damage databases easily.
C.Start campaigns rapidly.
D. Spread information widely.
14.What does the passage imply?
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology

Every day, we are faced with challenges and uncertainties. While these are things that are out
of our control, we can most certainly control how we react and feel in such situations . 16 .
Optimism is a simple yet powerful mindset that can affect us in many ways.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂An optimist will be more committed towards his goals. When some people set a goal they
don’t account for the problems they run into. They view them as barriers that can’t he removed.
This is why the minute something doesn’t go as planned they start to shrink and give up . 17 . In
fact, an optimistic person will merely look at the problems as new experiences and new
possibilities. He understands that failure is just part of the process and welcomes it with open
arms.
18 . A survey conducted by Gallup found that only 35 percent of US managers are occupied
in their jobs. This lack of devotion and its influence on employees costs the US approximately $77
billion to $96 billion each year. Optimistic leaders can help motivate their employees . 19 . Above
all, optimism offers a healthier and longer life. A study from the University of Pittsburgh
concluded that those who have an optimistic viewpoint have a 30 percent lower risk of heart
disease. 20 Additionally, research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found
that optimists are less likely to experience disabilities as they get older and end up living longer.
In life, movement and growth is important and necessary, which optimism helps us achieve.
A. They see failure as a new start.
B. We can learn to keep optimistic.
C. Optimists also spread a good atmosphere.

fifteen-year-old leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest,
not screaming, but glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
" Are you mad at me too ? "
"You spend all your time taking care of other people's kids, but what about us ? "
Dylan left angrily .
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the
work I was doing was saving lives? Then the answer hit me . He didn't know , because
he had never seen what Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of
sick children, but had never once looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard
truth-that without our help,the children would likely die.
" Get dressed . You are going with me , " I said .
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore
me the entire time. "He's seven, only weigh thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a
heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle(奇迹）that
he is still alive . "
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to
the hospital from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan
seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and
one small Slurpee(思乐冰饮料）.He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether
the little guy would able to drink it , but remained silent . This was the first interest
Dylan had shown in being there . I wasn't about to ruin it .
I stopped at the nurses' station to check on Hector's progress while Dylan went to
his room. Our patient was recovering physically but the nurse was concerned that Hector
was struggling emotional She said , " Kids usually bounce back fast , but he hardly
speaks an never smiles."
