And now I’m going to send them a surprise! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “S. H. for J. C.”“I’m sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to G eorgia, USA.”“How did you find him, Holmes?” I asked.“Ship’s papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John.

Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happi ness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future---for example, getting into a college or getting a good job---that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.( ) 58.

I am the elder son, and I got everything. I wanted my brother to apologize to me. He didn’t, and so I gave him nothing. With the little money he had, he left England for South Africa.

If you do find it, you will be a rich man!”I took back the map and put it in my pocket.“It is an amazing story.” Sir Henry said.“Yes.” I said. “But I have not invented it.” I stood up and left angrily.

At the end I said, " Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?"Sonny opened his eyes wide, "Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would al l fall asleep halfway?"I was shocked, "But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!""He must have wished that," Sonny said, "Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.""He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily."Sonny thought a while. "That's a lie," he said. "He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure."I gave up. Today's children are not like what we used to be. They're just hopeless.( ) 55.

If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend( 趋势). You can donate at any time. The donation box ere open 24 hours. The box collects men, women and children's clothing including sweaters, trousers, hats, shoes, and other clothes that are benefit to the people in need."From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to help others. " Lin Tao, a junior student says."I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I'll put them into the donation box. " Miss Li, a pretty young lady says."That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases. " Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes."However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. They say the box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes; some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them; some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it. Many clothes are too old and shabby( 破烂的)."What's worse," one of the staff in a community added, "We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We've tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the boxes."In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.( )59.

The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may have gone bad without visual clues to show it is fresh.An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. The y also greatly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate, Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice cream was weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blind folded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated the dessert lower than those who could see.The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience and in the overall dining experience.Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark claim that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.( )63. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group_____.A. spent a much longer time. eating the same foodB. believed they ate more than they really didC. depended on past experiences to feel fullD. thought the food tasted better than usual ( )64. The experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany was made to____.A. change eating habitsB. test the effect of sight on eating experienceC. trigger other sensesD. increase the amount of food eaten by diners( )65. Why could turning lights off or wearing a blindfold while eating be a quick way to lose weight?A. Because eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.B. Because the visual impact of food plays a large part in the taste.C. Because diners could not see how much was left on the plate.D. Because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories51-55 BCCDC 56-60 CBCAC 61-65 BCBBD连云港市新海实验中学AFor more information, please click(点击) “Read More” below.51.

They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate change. Scientists are the University of Exeter collected data(数据) from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield(平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050,thr fruit may die out.Sh ouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24℃and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cutting(茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil. It spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again.Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.62.

Bright colorsmake us feel happy and energetic. Dark colors make us feel calm or sad. Bright colors are easier to see in a painting or a picture, while darker colors mix in or hide.The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.They are the basic colors that can be mixed together in different combinations to make different colors.Mixing two primary colors makes a secondary color. Thesecondary colors are orange, green, and purple. Orange is madeby mixing yellow and red. Green is made by mixing yellow andblue. Purple is made by mixing red and blue. Intermediate（中间的）colors, like red-orange can be made by mixing a primary anda secondary color together. Black, white, and gray are specialcolors called neutral colors.Colors have been organized into a color wheel. It shows the three primary colors, the three secondary colors, and the six intermediate colors.

Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a n English speaker, I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.Recently, the King family that I had met in China came to Canada by air. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Nothing went wrong for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs. King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak。
