It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. “How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. “How would you like to be me for a day?” they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.

Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t rely on copying what others are doing.”

When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.

1.Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?

2.When did the twins get up on Saturdays?

3.What was the twins’ plan when they decided to do something different?

4.How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?

5.Why did the ballet teacher become impatient?

6.What does the underlined part “the grass was not always greener on the other side” at the end of the story try to tell us?

“You are what you eat” is a common English saying. It means the food you eat will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

  “When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.”said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience(体验) every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”

In one of their experiments(实验), college students were asked questions about their characters, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

  In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate helped other people in need, but those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more possibly to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

  The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to(指代) ?

A. The English saying. B. The eating habit.

C. The American team. D. The sweet food.

2.According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ______.

A. overweight B. excited C. friendly D. relaxed

3.Which kind of people may be less helpful?

A. The ones who like ice-cream.

B. The ones who prefer chocolate.

C. The ones who eat many cookies.

D. The ones who eat many chips.

4.According to the passage, which of the followings is NOT true?

A. Some scientists discovered something new about eating sweet food.

B. Kids are told to keep away from sweet food to be fat.

C. What you put in your mouth will show your character.

D. If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Scientists asked college students questions about their characters.

B. People who like sweet food are more willing to help others.

C. Scientists told college students not to eat sweet food.

D. People’s character has nothing to do with their taste.

Celebrating New Year’s Day is one of the oldest and most exciting traditions around the world. Since this festival marks the beginning of the year, New Year’s Day is thought of as a perfect time for a “clean start”. People in the world decide to act better in the year just beginning than the year just ended.

No day has ever been celebrated in so many different ways. All over the world, countries have their own special beliefs about what the New Year means to them.

In Scotland, the New Year is called Hogmanay. In the villages of Scotland, barrels of tar (沥青) are set on fire. It represents that the old year is burned up and the new one is allowed to enter.

New Year’s Day is also the Festival of Saint Basil in Canada. Children leave their shoes by the fireside on New Year’s Day with the hope that Saint Basil, who is famous for his kindness, will come and fill their shoes with gifts.

The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is an important time when Jews promise to do better in the future. Special services are held in the church, children are given new clothes and New Year bread is cooked to remind people of harvest time.

On New Year’s Day in Japan, everyone gets dressed in their new clothes and homes are decorated (装饰) with bamboos—symbols of long life.

In European countries such as Germany, France and Belgium, families start the New Year by first attending church services. Afterwards, they visit friends and relatives. In France, boys and girls receive gifts of money on New Year’s Day.

A

Did you know?

Box-office monster "Zootopia" has been called the "most Easter egg-packed(彩蛋) movie ever made by Disney". One of its Easter eggs comes to the species of the news anchor seen on the film’s ZNN channel. Depending on where in the world you’re watching "Zootopia", the type of animals hosting may change.

Zootopia went a step further to make the different versions(版本). In the US, Canada, France, the news anchor is moose(麋鹿). In Brazil, it’s a jaguar(美洲虎). Australia and New Zealand get a koala; while Chinese audiences see a giant panda.

User Reviews

What can I say…. I’m a huge Disney fan. Maybe not like my friend over at Reviewing All 54 Disney Animated Films. And More!, the Disney cartoons have been a big part of my life. So, in a sense, the Disney animated features are a big deal to me.

Whether young or old, Zootopia’s story carries a powerful and thematic commentary message that’s highly valued and relative (especially in today’s world). As Judy Hopps says in the movie "Life’s a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you." And I can’t agree more with that statement.

1.Who is one of the directors of the film?

A. Jared Bush B. Rich Moore C. Idris Elba D. Ginnifer Goodwin

2.Which of the following is TRUE based on the passage?

A. Zootopia is a romance story about a koala and a giant panda.

B. The film will be released on 4 March 2016 in English and French.

C. You can go to the nearby theater for different 3D versions of Zootopia.

D. Zootopia made different versions which are called "Easter egg-packed".
