We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions(会议)will remain imprinted in memory.A young Syrian woman (Lilith) was invited to the conference at the last minute, and everyone seemed surprised and delighted that she’d actually come. Just a few days earlier, Lilith had fled her country and found refuge with one of the women attending the conference. As an Orthodox Christian in Syria, she and her loved ones had become attacked targets of violent terrorist groups in the country’s ongoing civil war.Lilith had witnessed horrors no one of her young age should ever see. Despite the further danger it presented, she’d decided to leave her home and her family to find safety here in America. Knowing some of her story, and seeing her sitting through the sessions at the retreat(畏缩不前)---head, covered in a scarf, bowed toward the floor---broke my heart. Lilith’s story touched all of us, including Pam, who was quilt maker. Pam had just finished a beautiful quilt, and had brought it with her. She, along with a few of the leaders, decided to give it to Lilith as a symbol of their comfort and love.During our last session, Lilith was called forward and prayed over, hugged, and wrapped up in that beautiful quilt. I thought of the many hours Pam undoubtedly spent working on it, and the terrible events that led Lilith to this moment---surrounded by the beauty and love quiltembodied. I wept. When they told her it was for her, she wept.25. What is the purpose of the women’s conference?A. To help others in a practical way.B. To win equal rights for women.C. To get together to dance and sing.D. To exchange gifts with each other.26. Why did Lilith go to America?A. To attend the women’s conference.B. To find safety.C. To find her family.D. To find a better job.27. From this passage, we know that the writer is____________.A. enthusiasticB. sympatheticC. intelligentD. talented28. What is the meaning of the underlined word?A. a place of interestB. a place of dangerC. a place of conferenceD. a place of shelterCY ou know the feeling that you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. “Nomophobia”(无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. Y ou can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memoriessuffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt”(neck pain was often reported) and “alone”predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,”said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.”Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,”says Griffiths. “Y ou would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat orInstagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no internet,”says Griffiths.29. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A. We waste too much time on phones.B. Phones have become part of some users.C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.30. According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble31. Where can you probably find the above passage?A. In a research report.B. In a fashion brochure.C. In a science textbook.D. In a popular science magazine. DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in aboring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of one’s family33. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isn’t given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings34. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays35. The best title of the passage can be .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on Intelligence第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。

In 2015, 700, 000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you.

LifestyleD. BusinessDBeneath the water in the China's Qiandao Lake lies a hidden treasure. The ancient city of Shi Cheng (also known as Lion City), located in the province of Zhejiang,has been submerged underwater for 53 years. Shi Cheng was founded about 1,300 years ago in a valley surrounded by the Five Lion Mountains. When the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station (水力发电站), a dam and man-made lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water. Now, it sits at depths ranging from 85 feet to about 103 feet.Much like the Machu Picchu ruins in Peru, this underwater city remained forgotten until some renewed interests lead to its rediscovery. Qiu Feng, a local official in charge of tourism thought about utilizing Shi Cheng for entertainment on the lake and as a destination for diving clubs. On September 18, 2001, scuba divers made their first attempt underwater. "We were lucky. As soon as we dived into the lake, we found the outside wall of the town and even picked up a brick, "Qiu told Guangzhou Daily in an interview. More research was conducted, and it was discovered that the entire town was intact (t 881), including wooden beams and stairs. After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded thepreservation of the lost ruins.Looking at surface of the lake, dotted with over 1,000 islands, you'd never knowthat an entire city was below.It's incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it. Until then, Shi Cheng will continue to remain inconspicuously submerged32. Why was Shi Cheng covered by water according to the passage?A.Because the city has a long history.B. Because the government could attract more tourists by doing so.C. Because the government needed to build a power station where it was.D. The mountains surrounding the city led to the consequence.33. What does the underlined word"initial"mean in paragraph 2?A. OriginalB. GreatC. WonderfulD.Amazing34. What is the most unbelievable part of Shi Cheng according to the passage?A. It has something to do with Machu Picchu ruins in Peru.B. No one was interested in the lost city for a long time.C. Its structure keeps perfect in the water for a long time.D. There are over 1,000 islands protecting the lost city.35. Who will most probably come to visit the lost city?A. Someone who likes swimming.B. Someone who likes diving.C. Someone who likes climbing mountains.D. Someone who likes taking pictures.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It's close to Hong Kong where I live and I've always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We've booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.For my bag, I'll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis. It's also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.Japan—Ben Barras, Creative DirectorJapan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation.

It's the 25L Anti-theft Backpack.

Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone,and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live."I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use, " Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. "I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a signA.B.C.D.(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.The Power of Hug.B.The Miracle of Love.C.The Bond Between Twins.D.The Responsibility of Parents.(3)Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him."I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, " Kate told Today . "We'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments."Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named J amie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him."We were trying to persuade him to stay, " Kate told the Daily Mail . "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him."Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father's finger.The couple's lost boy had made it."We're the luckiest people in the world, " David told Today .Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth. "Emily burst into tears, " Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more."What can we learn about the newborn babies?The boy's heart had stopped beating.The boy was 2 minutes older than the girl.The twins were born 14 weeks before the due date.The twins were expected to live for only 20 minutes.When the couple knew they would lose the boy, they .begged the doctor to save himtook his shirt off and then put him in bedwrapped him with his blanket to keep him warmtalked to him and made close physical contact with himWhat's the best title for the passage?7.It's common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo daVinci's most famous painting seems to look back at observers,following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an anglethat's 15.4 degrees off to the observer's right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, "She's not looking at you." This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person's gaze (凝视)in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the "Mona Lisa effect" . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don't cut the gaze of the character to that side—surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn't looking at anyone in the room at all.Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the "Mona Lisa" and realized she wasn't looking at him.To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the "Mona Lisa" on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa's gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa's gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the "Mona Lisa" portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer?Horstmann isn't sure. It's possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term "Mona Lisa effect" just thought it was a cool name.A.B.C.D.A. B.C.

Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable,typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.A.messyB.tidyC.terriblefortable(1)(2)What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who aren't necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment,they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (乱堆) with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too.In this one, college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in the study by Dr. Vohs, disordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health "boost" to their lunchtime smoothie that was labeled either "new" or "classic".The volunteers in the messy space were far more likely to choose the new one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version."Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, " Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, "which can produce fresh insights."The implications of these findings are also practical. "My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box for a future project" , Dr. Vohs says, "Then let the clutter rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of the conscientious."The underlined word "immaculate" in paragraph 1 probably means .Which of the following can best explain the broken window theory?B.C.D.A.B.C.D.(3)A.B.C.D.(4)Misfortune may be an actual blessing.Bad news has wings.When a door shuts, a window opens.Which of the following will Dr. Vohs probably agree with?More virtue exists in organized people.Creativity results from tidiness and discipline.Disorderly surroundings help to create new ideas.Workers' good habits guarantee the success of a project.What can we conclude from the study results?The naturally neat people tend to be very creative.A messy office will cause quite low working efficiency.Environments can affect people's way of thinking and behavior.People's personalities are determined by their working environments.四、七选五(每题2分,共5题,计10分)9.Exam AnxietyHas this ever happened to you? You've been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 1Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 2 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has "gone blank" on information you know you have revised.3 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don't review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don't try and then you fail, you won't feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? 4 Yes, this seems obvious, but it's worth repeating. If you feel confident that you've prepared thoroughly, you'll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize yourA.B.C.D.E.F.G.anxiety. 5 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you'll spend on each section. If there's time to recheck, even better.The first thing you should do is to be prepared.People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you're not alone!Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.Realizing time is almost up and that there's still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.五、书面表达(共两题,35分)10.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,得知2020年第18届世界中学生运动会(World MiddleSchool Games) 将在中国福建晋江举行,组委会正面向全国招募志愿者。

They are all rich in one kind of acid and help produce a chemical that causes sleep. This will help you relax, and you'll be on the way to get a good night’s sleep.。

pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5percent of Americans earn more than 100,000ayear.Abusinessconsultantwhospecializesinthemedicaltradewastellingmehowmany doctorsanddentistsstrugglefinancially.Itwasthisbusinessconsultantwhogavemethep hrase,"Theyareoneskillawayfromgreatwealth."Thereisanoldsayingthatgoes,"Jobmeans"justoverbroke(破产And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers"live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach,"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?"almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"The answer is obvious:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.25.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A.he has a sharp sense of hearingB.he is ready to help othersC.he is just one of the talented peopleD.he knows little about car repairing26.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by" ".A.spend more than they can affordB.do in their own wayC.live in their own circleD.live within what they earn27.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A.They lack financial intelligence.B.They don't work hard enough.C.They don't make full use of their talents.D.They have no specialized skills.28.The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A.how young people can find a satisfactory jobB.what schools should teach studentsC.how McDonald's makes much money.D.why so many talented people are poor.29.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self﹣conscious; that is,they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too much.Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds:What kind of impression am I making?Do they like me?Do I sound stupid?Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably.A person's self﹣concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general,the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people,who have low respect,are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.They need faith that they are doing"the right thing".Shy people are very sensitive to criticism.Itmakes them feel inferior(自卑).They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise.A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one:"You're just saying that to make me feel good,I know it's not true."It is clear that,while self ﹣awareness is a healthy quality,overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of,or at least reduced?Fortunately,people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect.It is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us has his or her own characteristics.We are interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves,the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.29.The first paragraph is mainly about .A.the effect of shyness on peopleB.the cause of shynessC.the feelings of shy peopleD.the questions in the minds of shy people30.According to the writer,self﹣awareness is .A.harmful to peopleB.a healthy qualityC.the cause of unhappinessD.a weak point of shy people31.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 3 refers to .A.shynessB.criticismC.sensibilityD.praise32.We can learn from the passage that shyness can .A.have nothing to do with lack of self respectB.help us to live up to our full developmentC.enable us to understand ourselves betterD.be overcome with determination.33.Forget about the"post﹣1995 generation".Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English﹣Generation Z.Now entering adulthood and soon to join the workforce,Generation Z grew up in a special period of time﹣a time in which technology developed fast,social changes happened every day,the internet became universal and,sadly,so did global terrorism.It is believed that Generation Z is the generation that is going to shape our future,which is why policy makers,sociologists and company leaders are trying their best to understand these young people.So,what are Gen Z﹣ers really like?Most people agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are.This is a group of people who have been familiar with social media as soon as they were born.Social media has changed the way Gen Z﹣ers communicate with each other and how they get and understand information."We are the first true digital natives.I can almost create a document,edit it,post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone,all at the same time,"said Hannah Payne,an 18﹣year﹣old student at UCLA,according to The New York Times."Generation Z takes in information very fast and loses interest just as fast."It may be true that Generation Z﹣ers have a shorter attention span (注意力持续时间)than a goldfish,but sice they grew up among social changes,they are more active in politics.According to the British Election Study,58 percent of 18﹣t0﹣24﹣year﹣old voted in the 2015 general election in the UK,a big jump from 38 percent in 2005.Generation Z﹣ers are also culture creators."Growing up with the internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression."Wrote Grace Masback,a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z﹣er herself.According to Masback,these young people are no longer willing to let their creativity.According to Masback,these young people are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents of traditional rules.They watch videos and read news online instead of on TV,and they share their experiences on social media."We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,"wrote Masback.33.Which is TRUE about Gen Z﹣ers,according to the article?A.Face﹣to﹣face communication is challenging for themB.Often doing many things at the same time affects their efficiencyC.They don't bother to think about the information they at carefullyD.They show more interest in politics than in other fields34.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Gen Z﹣ers enjoy great freedom to express themselvesB.Gen Z﹣ers enjoy teaching their parents about new cultural trendsC.Gen Z﹣ers are against traditional cultureD.Gen Z﹣ers are unwilling to obey their parents35.Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards Generation Z?A.WorriedB.CriticalC.AppreciativeD.Neutral(中立的)36.根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment.Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents.They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body.(36)Worldwide,the devices have protected up to a million people.America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849.The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.(37)This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.(38) It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer,Nils Bohlin.His three﹣point,lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place.His invention contained a cloth strap(带子)that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips(臀部).(39)Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars.This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car﹣makers.(40)He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995.He died in Sweden in 2002.A.Claghorn called his invention a safety beltB.The design joined the straps next to the hip.C.The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.D.Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.E.There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt.F.Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.G.But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)41.第一节完形填空My 14﹣year﹣old son,John,and I spotted the coat at the same time at a second ﹣hand clothing store.It had a black

When you worry about getting to sleep, keeping turning around and trying to find a comfor table position, you’re probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day Do you get almost no exercise, or do you exercise too much late in the day Do you sleep a lot or sleep late onweekends Any of these facts might be leading to your sleeplessness by disturbing your body’s natural clock. What should you do t hen on those sleepless nightsDon’t bother with sleeping pills. They can actually make it worse later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. They are all rich in one kind of acid and help produce a chemical that causes sleep. Th is will help you relax, and you'll be on the way to get a good night’s sleep.。
