How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's
house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus
then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember
that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children
to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I
was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the
places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and
pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come
to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three
schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother
remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my
stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”.
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at
home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my
grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with
company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually
go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

A storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night,
some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places.
They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.
Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in
Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter,
Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.
Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane
Harvey in August 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in US history. It caused $125 billion worth of damage
in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.
A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the
Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”
But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to
the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week.
"Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” said Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service
meteorologist (气象学家).
Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect
conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and encourage them to stay home.
There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”
4. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?
A. Flood damage in Houston. B. Flood prevention in Houston.
C. Heavy floods hitting Houston. D. People fighting floods in Houston.
5. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. It caused no deaths or injuries. B. It did a lot of damage to Texas.
C. It was less serious than this week’s rain. D. It was the biggest hurricane on record.
6. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service?
A. Fine days are coming. B. It will rain a little non-stop.
C. A hurricane is unavoidable. D. Floods will continue.

When faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose?
Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.
About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher
Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes
it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.
As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people
who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the
snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be
one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of
you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”
According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and
mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when
returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode
before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.
If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your
efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes
off you feel rested.
8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?
A. People do it just for fun. B. It is a common practice.
C. People take it seriously. D. It is a bit childish.
9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?
A. It is meaningful in the long term.
B. It makes people become lazy.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.
D. It affects our body and mind.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?
A. Forming a good sleep habit. B. Trying to relax ourselves.
C. Making use of willpower. D. Using an extra alarm.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.
B. The snooze button and people's character.
C. Should you rely on the snooze button?
D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?
D
Airport security is there to protect you, but it may also give you a cold -or worse .
To all the places and surfaces we’ve been warned are covered with germs－the subway seat, airplane cabins,
the ATM－add the airport security trays(托盘). The plastic security trays －used at airport checkpoints around the
globe and touched by millions of passengers as they drop shoes, smartphones, baggage and other items into them to
clear X-ray scanners－have been found to have a variety of germs in them, including the ones responsible for the
common cold, according to researchers in Europe.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham in England examined frequently touched surfaces at Helsinki
Airport in Finland during and after peak hours in the winter of 2016 and found rhinovirus, the source of the
common cold in them. They found it on half the baggage trays, more than on any of the other surfaces they tested.
It wasn't found on toilet surfaces at the airport. The findings could help improve public health strategies in the fight
against the spread of infectious diseases worldwide.
The European Union has funded a research project, called PANDHUB, on preventing the spread of“high--
threat ” pathogens(病原体) on public transportation, and the study by the University of Nottingham is part of that
project .
"The presence of germs in the environment of an airport has not been examined previously, said Niina Ikonen,
who was involved in the study.
Finavia, the company that operates Helsinki Airport, said in an email,“At Finavia airports, the hygiene(卫生)
standards are applied in accordance with health officials' requirements－all surfaces are cleaned daily and all
security checkpoint trays, etc., are washed regularly."
Washing your hands properly and coughing into a tissue or sleeve, especially in public places, can help
minimize the risk of catching infectious diseases, said Jonathan Van-Tam, a professor at the University of
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Nottingham. "These simple measures can help prevent the spread of germs and are most important in crowded
areas like airports that have a high volume of people traveling to and from many different parts of the world." he
added.
12. What should air passengers do according to Van-Tam?
A. Avoid touching other people . B. Spend less time at the airport .
C. Bring as little luggage as possible . D. Try to reduce the effect of their coughs .
13. What is special about the study?
A. It focuses on"high-threat" pathogens .
B. It is the first to test for microbes on surfaces at airports.
C. It has found a new way to cure infectious diseases .
D. It has led to a research project called PANDHUB.
14. What did Finavia express in the email?
A. They explained why hygiene was important .
B. They felt quite doubtful about the findings.
C. They had recognized their mistakes .
D. They had done what was required.
15. What did the scientists find at Helsinki airport?
A. Airport security trays had a lot of germs in them.
B Wet surfaces offered good places for germs to live.
C. Viruses spread quicker during and after peak hours.
D. Airline passengers were more likely to catch a cold on planes.

A couple，whom we shall call John and Mary, had a nice home and two lovely children. One day, John and
Mary decided to go on a trip to another city, so they found a kind woman to look after the children and left.
Several days later, they returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove back to their
hometown, John and Mary noticed smoke and went to see what it was. They found a house was on fire.“Oh,well, it
isn't our house. Let's go home,”Mary said.
But John drove closer and screamed in surprise，“That's Jordan's home. He works in a factory. He wouldn’t
be off work yet. Maybe there is something we can do to help.”
“It has nothing to do with us,”cried Mary. “You have your good clothes on,so let's not get any closer.”
John didn't listen to Mary. He drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house was on
fire. A woman was crying in the yard, “The children! Get the children!”
John seized her by the shoulder and shouted to her, “Don't cry! Tell me where the children are!” “In the
basement(地下室)，”cried the woman,“down the hall and to the left.”
John used water to get his clothes wet and put a wet towel on his head before rushing to the basement. The
house was full of smoke and fire, and it was very difficult for him to find the children. But he made it. He held one
under each arm. As he left，he could hear some more crying. He took the two kids out of the house and into the
fresh air，and then asked the women how many more children were still down there.
