手惰市安逸阳光实验学校课时跟踪练40 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestorsⅠ.阅读理解AA letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆)by the FBI after being stolen twice.“We realized in the mid­1970s that it was missing，” says Effie Kapsalis，head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives.“It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern(实习生)，from what the FBI is telling us.Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes，and the intern put the letter back.The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”Decades passed.Finally，the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington，DC.Their art crime team recovered the letter but as unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended.The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist，Dr Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden，for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long.“It was luckily in good shape，”says Kapsalis.“And we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it.It has some glue on it that has coloured it slightly，but nothing that will prevent us from using it.After it is repaired，we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”It would now be difficult for an intern，a visitor or a thief to steal a document like this.“Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，”says Kapsalis，“and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to.”1．What happened to Darwin's letter in the mid­1970s?A．It was recovered by the FBI.B．It was stolen more than once.C．It was put in the Archives for research purposes.D．It was purchased by the Smithsonian Institution Archives.2．What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?A．They proved its authenticity.B．They kept it in a special safe.C．They arrested the suspect immediately.D．They pressed criminal charges in vain.3．What is Darwin's letter about?A．The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B．His cooperation with an American geologist.C．Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D．His acknowledgement of help from a professional.4．What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A．Reserve it for research purposes only.B．Turn it into an object of high interest.C．Keep it a permanent secret.D．Make it available online.【语篇解读】达尔文的一封亲笔信失而复得，现收藏于史密森学会档案馆。

Below are several suggestions to help you, theworkaholic, re-focus and get the best out of life.EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to getat least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest.Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later”. Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS! Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar exc use for Saturdays and Sundays? “I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family. ”GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing pap erwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs.CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have aneight-to-five working schedule, stick to it.WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it’s even more important that you get some exercise.MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities. Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more.【文章大意】本文对工作狂们提出如何更好地聚焦生活, 提高效率的方法及建议。

Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to lis ten to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive t han simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1.What is the purpose of persuasion?A. To advise somebody to support you.B. To help someone have special skillC. To convince somebody to realize his aim.D. To talk someone into being honest.2.What is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience to trust him?A. Pathos.B. Ethos.C. Logos.D. Education.3.What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt.B. Both save people from terrible wars.C. Both make the audience support them.D. Both persuade people to donate money.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Convince the AudienceB. Three Basic Tools of PersuasionC. Believe MeD. Strength of Persuasion【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了源自于古希腊且一直沿用至今的说服他人的艺术，其中包括ethos、pathos、logos三种方式以及用这三种方式说服他人在各个领域应用的可能性。

Imagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t o nly limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_________ .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.3.Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.4.The author writes this passage to_________.A. explainB. persuadeC. commentD. advertise【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，举例说明丹麦语hygge只可意会不可言传，需要用心去感受。

Unit 5 Nelson Mandel -- a modern hero李仕才***阅读理解。

The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors(导师). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”He added, “Wh ile it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”1.What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story?A. To prove the author’s view.B. To introduce her situation.C. To present the topic.D. To make readers rethink about the problem.2.What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?A. live with parentsB. live independentlyC. stay at homeD. leave home3.According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?A. It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest.B. They can spend less money on their daily life.C. Moral values are changing gradually.D. Young adults are living in a different life style.4.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?B. Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?D. Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在美国，现在和父母同住的年轻人的数量持续增加这一社会现象。
