A
Chinese New Year, also called the Spring Festival, is a traditional festival celebrated by all Chinese people. Not everyone celebrates the festival in the same way, with the biggest differences between northern and southern China.
Festival Foods
In the northern cities of China, people generally eat dumplings. They are called jiaozi in Chinese, which means the turn of a lunar new year. Additionally, because they are shaped similarly to a type of ancient money, jiaozi are also regarded as a symbol of wealth.
As compared to the north, people from some southern areas traditionally eat rice cakes (niangao in Chinese), which are made of sticky (黏的) rice flour. Niangao can be interpreted as that people move up to a higher position year after year.
Festival Decorations
It is a common tradition to put up Spring Festival couplets (对联) and “Fu” characters, but some decorations differ a bit between northern and southern China.
In the north, the red “Chinese knot (结)” is also hung, representing happiness. However, in the southern areas, people like to use kumquats, a fruit like a very small orange, for decorations. Due to their yellow colour, they are usually a sign of wealth and harvest.
Red Envelope
In northern China, people usually give red envelopes to the children of their relatives or close friends only. However, people in southern China not only give red envelopes to the children of their relatives and friends, but also to their colleagues and acquaintances. In some southern areas like Guangdong Province, a company manager or a shop owner may also give red envelops to staffs on the first working day of the New Year, wishing for a fortune and giving them a strong sense of team spirit.
1．Why are dumplings seen as a symbol of wealth
A．They look like a type of ancient money.
B．They have the meaning of getting to a higher position.
C．Only rich families could afford them in ancient times.
D．The name for “dumplings” meant money in the past.
2．Which celebration might NOT be practised in southern China

C．Giving red envelops to colleagues’ children. D．Placing kumquats in the room.

Aeron McQuillin, 18, Bailey Campbell, 17, and Billy Tarbett, 15, were on their way to a supermarket in Fonthill, Ontario, when they spotted a woman on the side of the road with smoke coming out of her car. They quickly found the problem and determined the car was too dangerous to drive.
The driver couldn’t afford a tow truck (拖车). So, Billy suggested that they push the car. The woman lives more than five miles away. Dan Morrison, who also stopped to help, told CNN the driver's jaw dropped on hearing the teens' offer. Bailey told CNN they just wouldn't want to be stuck like that, so they insisted.
The three bought bottles of water and a speaker and started their journey. Morrison drove behind them with his hazard lights (警示灯) on for safety. Bailey said they faced several problems. The first was a big hill 300 yards from the start. Halfway through, they took a break and the battery died.
After more than two and a half hours of pushing, they finally delivered the car back home. Bailey described the motorist as both thankful and amazed. They exchanged hugs, and everyone went home for some much-needed rest. The teens never got the woman's full name.
Morrison took a couple of pictures of the teens, hoping to turn them into hometown heroes on social media. His Facebook post went viral, with positive comments coming in from as far away as Australia.
4．Who proposed pushing the woman's car
A．Dan Morrison. B．Billy Tarbett. C．Aeron McQuillin. D．Bailey Campbell.
5．Why did Morrison take a couple of photos of the teens
A．To meet the teens' request. B．To record their good deeds.
C．To praise them on social media. D．To make himself go viral on social media.
6．How can we best describe the journey
A．Tough. B．Joyful. C．Adventurous. D．Thrilling.
7．What did the teenagers do with the motorist after delivering the car back to the destination

Moms try so hard to make sure that their children are healthy. And this means that they try and avoid foods that have too much sugar or artificial ingredients (人工添加剂). Sugary drinks can be one of the main items that moms avoid, and that is because they are bad for their children’s teeth and health.
A new study, however, is showing that a sugary drink in the morning may not be so bad after all, at least not for girls. According to Medical Xpress, consuming sugary drinks before class has been shown to improve math scores, but only in girls. It has little impact on boys.
This was shown through a study that was published in the journal Health Economics. It found that sugary drinks had a direct impact on the behavior and math scores of children in preschool. It seems a little early to be offering the children sugary drinks, but let’s find out what they discovered.
To complete the study, researchers looked at more than 450 children, and the children in the study were given a sugary drink or an artificially sweetened (人工加糖的) drink and then they collected data before and after they had drunk it. When it came to boys and their behavior, they found that one sugary drink did seem to have a “relaxing” effect on them at first, but it didn’t last long and then they were more restless. The sugary drink did not result in any difference in a girl’s behavior. They then looked at math scores, and it showed that consuming a sugary drink had a negative impact on boys’ math scores, but it had a positive impact on the math scores of the girls.
“There are still a lot of schools that sell and hand out sugary drinks to students, and while this may seem to benefit girls, it could be making things more difficult for young boys,” says one of the researchers.
8．What is moms’ attitude to children’s drinking sugary drinks
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Unfavorable.
9．What effect do sugary drinks have on children according to the study
A．They make girls relaxed. B．They help girls stay healthy.
C．They benefit girls in math. D．They supply boys with more inspiration.
10．What can we infer from the researcher’s words
A．Schools should be careful about selling sugary drinks to students.
B．Sugary drinks have attracted more school girls than school boys.
C．School girls should drink more sugary drinks before class.
D．School boys should drink more sugary drinks than school girls.
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．School girls may be much better at math than school boys
B．Sugary drinks prove to be harmful to our health
C．School children are consuming too many sugary drinks
D．Sugary drinks may help improve girls’ math scores
D
Programs that drive the digital experiences today seem to turn to contents that are popular, and they are unable to tell facts from fictions. And due to the fact that anyone can post anything they want online, unconfirmed reports and irresponsible and unchecked contents are common in the online world.
The problem is so common that the British newspaper The Independent has a whole page contributed to news about fake news, along with Mashable’s social media and a growing number of others.
During the past days when most kids used textbooks that had been edited and reviewed responsibly before they were used, the need for students to check their sources was not great. Today, it’s different. Students use the Internet for research, and teachers and parents can’t keep them away from bad contents all the time. And they’re on their own as they get older. They have to master information literacy, the skills of recognizing bad information, identifying good information, and understanding the difference between the two.
There are people and organizations dealing with the problem and developing information for Internet searchers, both adults and children. The website of Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, has provided Internet searchers with extra information at the top right of their results page. The move was intended to make people slow down and think twice before accepting search results as facts.
Fake news is here to stay. We all need to fight. We can start with awareness and a few rules: don’t make the web full of bad information: don’t spread or share information if you aren’t sure about it. And be mindful of how we use information: practice information literacy. And human curiosity is of great importance in this fight against misinformation. Curiosity drives learning and makes people question information. We need everyone to join in researching and questioning for the truth.
12．What problem is described about the online world
A．We are given too much information.
B．Useless results often show up first online.
C．The Internet includes much fake information.
D．Fake news is spread purposely to attract searchers.
13．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．The need for information literacy. B．Different generations’ learning style.
C．How networks affect today’s students. D．Why fake contents exist on the Internet.
14．What does the website of Encyclopedia Britannica do for searchers
A．It marks the facts. B．It provides more details.
C．It corrects the search results. D．It alarms searchers if necessary.
15．Which of the following would the author agree with
A．It is hard to clean up all fake news. B．We can’t speak freely in cyberspace.
C．People should be forced to follow the rules.
D．We should keep curious to discover the truth.

Nowadays, many students haven’t come to the realization how important exercise is and don’t work out regularly, listing various reasons such as lack of time or exhaustion from studying.
However, taking regular exercise brings us a host of benefits, ranging from building up our bodies to helping reduce stress. Besides, physical exercise also helps us to concentrate and thus improve our learning efficiency. Therefore, we should give priority to exercise no matter how busy or tired we are. We can incorporate exercise into everyday routines, like squeezing in ten minutes daily for a jog.
Let’s take action and exercise more!
