题目：

Many parents make their children do chores(家务) around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem. Here is a survey(调查) about this problem. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.

We found that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. We suggest that parents should give their children some chores to do. Chores are good for children, even very young ones. Doing chores can teach children many important skills like working together. Chores also teach children what is fair. The skills and value from doing chores will be good for children all their life. All family members must work together to make house clean, and each person must do his or her share(份) of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities(责任) when children are young.

题目：

Since 2011, people around the world have been celebrating World Introvert Day on January 2. The word “introverted“ describes a personality type. 【1】 They are likely to feel exhausted by environments that are highly simulating and may often need to go to a quiet place to recharge.
World Introvert Day began with a blog post from German psychologist Felicitas Heyne. She suggested that introverts are often misunderstood and their mental health suffers because popular culture is dominated by extroverts. Her idea was to celebrate World Introvert Day to raise awareness of the social challenges that introverts face.【2】
There are many famous introverts in art and science, such as Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, and J. K. Rowling. It is believed that many introverts have a great ability to focus and strong power of imagination.
【3】 Extroverts love connecting with other people, work well in groups, and are usually very confident. When introverts don’t fit into groups of extroverts, they may be seen as cold, uninterested, or shy. Popular culture tells us that it is important to network, socialize, and communicate, but all of this can make introverts feel uncomfortable.
Scientists are studying what causes someone to be an introvert or an extrovert. Recent studies show that genes are a factor, and most people seem to be born with one personality or the other. 【4】 The brain of an introvert can respond dramatically to a very mild stim- ulus, but the brain of an extrovert tends to need a stronger stimulus to have the same reaction. Our environment and experiences also influence whether we are introverted or extroverted. The term ambivert describes someone who is right in the middle. 【5】.

A．The opposite of an introvert is called an extrovert.
B．Extroverts are easily accessible and understandable.
C．Introverted people are known to live with unique challenges and gift.
D．It would also celebrate the contributions of introverts throughout history.
E．Introverted people don’t require a lot of social contact, and they enjoy spending time alone.
F．Whatever personality type we have, we can celebrate our differences and learn from each other.
G．Part of what makes us introverted or extroverted is how our brains respond to the world around us.

题目：

Every Sunday morning I take a walk around a park near my home. There’s a lake in one corner of the park. Each time I walk by this lake, I see the same old woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage beside her.
This Sunday, I stopped walking and went over to her. As I got closer, I realized that there were three turtles(乌龟)，unhurt, slowly walking around the base of the metal cage. She had a fourth turtle on her knee that she was carefully cleaning it with a brush, which made me feel surprised.
“Hello,” I said. “If you don’t mind, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“I’m cleaning off their shells,” she replied.
“Anything on a turtle’s shell weakens the turtle’s ability to take in heat and blocks its ability to swim. It can also impair and weaken the shell over time.”
She went on, “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference. ”
“Well then, don’t you think your time could be better spent It’s a waste of time. And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, how exactly are your efforts here truly making a difference”

题目：

E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.
We live in a society that is producing and using electronics all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest modles. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over1,000,000 tons is recycled.
Burying (填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.
In recent years, many countries have started recycling e﹣waste. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. There they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-waste recycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.
Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.
E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.
【1】About ________ tons of e-waste is not recycled every year in the EU alone.
A．8,700,000
B．1,000,000
C．7,700,000
D．7,000
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．Building more recycling centers can help reduce e-waste.
B．When we abandon an old phone, we produce e-waste.
C．We should try to avoid changing electronic appliances.
D．Recycling e-waste is always managed properly.
【3】We may read this article from ________.
