No one else came up with such a creative idea as we did.” they said. So far, th ey have made ￡47,000.The goal of the website isn't only to get people to look at the advertisements that are painted on their faces. Harper and Moyse also paint advertisements on their faces to advertise themselves. They started on January 1st 2017. The first advertisement went for ￡1 a day. But now the price has moved up to ￡400 a day. However, they know that their success won't be long-lived. And they plan to stop once they've made the money they need. “We d on't know how l ong it will last, but you can ha ve some fun going through our website”.

Do you know how to make it? What d oes a chocolate factory look like? My class had a fiel d trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.We visited an ol d building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation, we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 peopl e working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technol ogy is changing our life!Later, we saw how machines mad e chocolate. We got a cocoa bean (可可豆), some powd ered (粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells (果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which l ooks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they mad e milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also l earned a lot of knowledge (知识) about chocolate.50．Why did the writer’s class visit the chocolate factory?A．Because they studied in Toronto.B．Because they could get some chocolate at a l ow price there.C．Because they wanted to learn something about chocolate.51．What makes the writer think “How greatly technol ogy is changing our life”?A．The whole floor only has two machines working.B．Machines are d oing most of the work in this factory.C．People are making more and more delicious chocolate.52．Where do the best cocoa beans come from?A．North America.

How can you make your kids get into a good habit of d oing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.Play some music: Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn’t it?

Let them know that you hide (隐藏) a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it.Change often: If your kids keep d oing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task (任务) is fun for both you and the kids.

But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).Sand is the second most-used resource in the worl d after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitl ess and that we might be running out of it.Sand is mad e up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to buil d houses, roads and other things.People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for exampl e, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-mad e islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to buil d.If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For exampl e, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more fl oods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.18．What d oes the story tell us about sand?A．It can only be found on beaches. B．It is the most-used resource in the world.

I rushed and pull ed at the clothes in the wardrobe, hoping the jacket on the bed wasn't for me but my brother. No luck, I wanted to cry because it was so ugly and so big. But I knew I'd have to wear it a long time before I'd have a new one. I looked at the jacket, like an enemy, thinking bad things before I took off my old and small jacket.I put the big jacket on. I stood in front of the mirror(镜子), turning right and left. I looked ugly. I threw it on my brother's bed and l ooked at it for a long time before I put it on and went out, smiling a "thank you" to my mom.The next day I wore it to school. At the morning break, my best friend, Steve, l ooked at me for a l ong time. The girls turned away to whisper. The teachers l ooked my way and talked about how foolish I l ooked in my new jacket.
