However, when cold weather hits, the protection from the nose becomes less 46 . The study found that when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5 ℃, nearly 50% of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight. That’s why cold air makes people catch a cold more 47 .

Ears are an important part of our face. Let me tell you 51 interesting about our ears and our character.
The size and 52 of our ears shows our character more than any part of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change 53 shapes. They only change in size. Reading people’s characters from their ears is a very old science. In old times, people thought that a person 54 big ears had a good and generous character while a person whose ears are pale, small was 55 . They also thought the shape of the ear showed 56 a person was musical or not. Today, many people believe that the size and shape of the ear helps you know if a person is musical.
Ears are 57 , and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, middle-sizes, or small. Look at the lobes (耳垂). Chinese people believe people with big ear lobes 58 have good luck. Ears that are always red mean a person may 59 angry easily, or he or she may just have high blood pressure. Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside of the ear means a person is musical.

At night, you fall asleep while listening to beautiful music. In the 61 , you are woken up by the singing of birds outside. You can enjoy all of these things because of one important organ (器官)—the ears.
You may wonder 62 the ears work The ear has three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear is the part you can see. It 63 sound around you. The sound then travels down to the middle ear, the inner ear and then to our brain.
Your ears never stop working, even when you are asleep! Your ears continue hearing sounds, 64 your brain just ignores (忽略) them. That’s why you might sometimes wake up 65 in the middle of the night—your brain heard something, however, you don’t know what it was, because you were asleep.
Ears do more than hear. They help you keep our balance, too. In the inner ear, there are organs that are 66 liquid ( 液体) and covered in small hairs. When you move our head, the liquid and hairs move, too. They send 67 to your brain about the position (位置) of your head.
More surprisingly, ears even help with tasting food. Of course, you don’t actually taste food with your ears. There are nerves (神经) running 68 the middle ear that connect the tongue to the brain. If something happens to our ears, you might have a hard time 69 different flavors (味道) apart.
The ears are truly important organs with many functions (功能). 70 should make sure to protect their ears as well as they can.

The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin and started looking through it. Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get, so she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in surprise and took what she gave him.
A big smile appeared on his face and Susan felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, kind girl.” Then he went away, singing a song. Just then, Susan understood what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help; everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesn’t cost much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into Susan’s mind every time she has the chance to help others.

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. Once I arrived in the middle of the night for a pick-up at an old building. I walked to the door and knocked.
“Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80’s stood in front of me. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. I helped her take the suitcase to the cab. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice（收容所）. ”
“I don’t have any family left,” she continued “The doctor says I don’t have very long. This would be the last time for me to go downtown.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. For the next few hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. When the sun rose, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. Then we arrived at a low building. Two orderlies came out to the cab.
“How much do I owe you ” she asked.
“Nothing,” I said.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

It was a stormy evening. Neil had thought he could get home on time, but his busy work was again stopping him from spending quality time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided a small shelter (遮蔽物) where Neil was increasingly worried with every minute passing. His wife and the seven-year-old son had specifically told him to come home early. He didn’t want to let them down.
“Sir, why don’t you buy a packet of peanuts from me ” Neil looked around and saw a man in a warm coat standing by his side. “Oh, no, I’m not interested right now.” “Fried peanuts will do you a world of good. You can also take some for your family.” As the groundnut seller said, he filled a bag with the remaining peanuts and offered them to Neil at an unexpectedly low price. But Neil still refused to buy them.
Suddenly, Neil heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, have you sold out the peanuts My mum told me that we would have money to buy me books then.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally wet from top to bottom as though he had just run a race. The groundnut seller quickly took off his worn coat to wrap it around his son and said with a forced smile, “Yes, yes. Let’s go home soon. Your mother will be worried.”
Neil turned to the man. When they both made eye contact, Neil noticed a look of what it was to be a hardworking father. He found the man in front of him was so respectable (值得尊敬的).

On September 5, 2022, a strong earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan. Many people ran as fast as they could to a safe place, but some others made a different choice. They risked their lives to save more people. Gan Yu was one of them. When the earthquake came, Gan Yu and Luo Yong, workers the Wandong Hydropower Station (湾东水电站), didn’t run away.

About 80% of people do not get enough vitamin (维生素) D every day. But this vitamin is very important for your health.
Vitamin D is really important for our bones (骨骼). When we are young, vitamin D builds up our bones and makes them strong. When we are older, we still need vitamin D to keep our bones strong. Our bodies keep the vitamin D in our bones and teeth. Then we lose vitamin D as we work and exercise during the day. But our bodies can’t make vitamin D. So we have to get it from outside of our bodies.
Where can a person get this very important vitamin Vitamin D is in foods like fish and eggs. Sometimes, vitamin D is added to bread, milk, and orange juice. Food is not the only way our bodies can get vitamin D. The sun also gives us vitamin D. If we want to be healthy, we should spend some time in the sun each day. Too much sun is not good for you, but about 15 minutes a day is usually enough. And we should be sure to eat foods that are rich in vitamin D, too.
151．The writer says that vitamin D ________.

Man-made ‘leaf’ makes energy
Do you know what photosynthesis is It’s how plants use energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into “food” and give off oxygen. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK have made an artificial “leaf” that gives off clean gas.
The artificial leaf looks like a box. It has two light absorbers that take in sunlight, just like the molecules in plants. The leaf uses this sunlight, along with carbon dioxide in air and water, to make syngas. People can use this gas to make many things, such as fuel and plastic.
It is clean to make the gas, as it does not give off any bad gases. Researchers hope to use the artificial leaf to create more kinds of clean energy in the future.

One teacher praises a student by saying “You’re so smart!” Another teacher says, “You must have worked really hard at this!” Which student does better in school Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better. Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists (心理学家) looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise. Some students were told that they were good at a task. They didn’t try very hard the next time. Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task. They worked even harder the next time. The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill. They didn’t think they could do any better. This is called a fixed mindset (思维模式). The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying. This is called a growth mindset. People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow; people can do better and learn new skills. If they work hard, they can be successful.
Beliefs of Fixed and Growth Mindsets
Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset
Effort Things you’re born with that cannot change Things you can grow and improve with hard work
Skills Something to avoid—could show lack of skill Something important—leads to success
Challenges Things to avoid—in case you aren’t good enough Things that help you learn
How can teachers and parents help students succeed They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability. When students succeed, teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence (智力) or talent. When students fail, they should be told how they can do better.

Recently, researchers in Israel have done an experiment and found that goldfish are able to navigate(导航) on land after receiving around 10 driving lessons.
The experiment was performed by a research team at the Ben-Gurion University. It was made to see whether goldfish could find their way in a very different environment. Researchers developed a robotic car that could drive forward, backward and from side to side. They called the car FOV—“Fish Operated Vehicle”(鱼驱动车). A goldfish was placed inside a water box on the FOV. Using a set of wheels with a camera system, the FOV recorded the fish’s movements and swimming directions, and then moved in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish. They placed the car in a small room with a pink target(目标) on one side. The fish would get food when the car touched the target. After a few days of training, the fish navigated to the target. At first, it took them about half an hour to drive to the target. But by the end of the experiment, they were able to complete the same task in less than a minute. Shachar Givon, one of the researchers, said, “As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike or to drive a car knows, it is challenging at first.”
Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target, but they also weren’t fooled by false targets of other colors. They were also able to get free when the car hit a wall. Although the fish may not have realized they were moving on land, these results show that a fish has the ability to navigate outside its nature environment of water. It can enrich scientific knowledge of animals’ navigation skills.
191．What is the purpose of the goldfish experiment
A．To see if goldfish could tell different colors.
B．To see if goldfish could find food and living places.
C．To see if goldfish could navigate in a different environment.
D．To see if goldfish could ride a bike or drive a car like humans.
192．What can be learned about the FOV
A．It was placed inside a water box.
B．It could follow the fish’s movements.
C．It was driven by a camera system.
D．It could control the fish’s directions.
193．The goldfish would get food as long as the car ________.
A．touched the pink target
B．moved in the small room freely
C．avoided hitting a wall
D．touched the targets of other colors
194．What can we learn from Shachar Givon’s words
A．It was important for the goldfish to drive a car.
B．It was impossible for the goldfish to navigate.
C．It was meaningless for the goldfish to be trained at first.
D．It was hard for the goldfish to reach the target at the start.
195．Which can be the best title for the passage
A．Good Use of a Robotic Car
B．An Experiment on Animals
C．Goldfish’s Ability to Navigate on Land
D．Goldfish’s Skills to Drive a Car on Land
“Peanuts! Get your red-hot peanuts!”
Americans have loved the taste of peanuts ever since 1870. That was the year when P.T. Barnum introduced hot peanuts as a snack. He sold them at his theatre. Soon everyone wanted peanuts to eat. But many people around the world ate peanuts long before that. Peanuts have been a popular food in Africa for hundreds of years. In South America, scientists found bowls which were filled with dried peanuts. These bowls were over 30000 years old! Ancient dried peanuts have also been found in China.
African slaves (奴隶) probably brought peanuts to the USA in the 1700s. At first, farmers grew peanuts as food for their cows. But a man named George Washington Carver thought that peanuts could be useful in other ways. George was born during the Civil War. His parents were slaves on a farm. From boyhood, George showed great interest in plants. Later, he got an education and began studying plants. He worked hard and became a famous botanist.
George used peanuts to create over three hundred products, such as soap, ink, plastic and paper. He also helped make peanuts an important crop(农作物). He was famous for his work. There is a monument (纪念碑) to hum in Missouri where he was born.
The peanut plant produces many small yellow flowers. When the flowers die, the plant begin to dig into the soil in which peanuts grow. When the autumn comes, it’s time to dig them out of the ground. If the soil is too wet or too dry, many of the peanuts will remain in the ground. And then they are dried and sent to factories where they are made into snacks or other products.
Next time if you go to a theatre or a baseball game, listen carefully. You may hear someone shouting, “Peanuts! Get your red-hot peanuts!”

Most people love animals. Many children’s books use animals as the main characters. Many people look after animals as pets. The love for animals may be why both children and adults (成年人) enjoy going to zoos.
In the past, zoos were usually started by rich people. The first zoo was started by a queen in Egypt in 1500 BC. Raising animals was a way for people to show they were wealthy and powerful. Sadly, the animals in the early zoos were not treated well. They didn’t receive enough attention or care.
Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they try to protect animals and teach people as well. Zoos must follow rules. People must provide animals with a clean place to live, food and water, and health care. In this way, the rules help protect the animals.
Some people think the rules are not enough. They want to do more to protect the animals they love. For example, people disapproved of the use of some large animals in shows. They thought the zoos didn’t have enough space for the animals to show. They also thought the animals were not treated properly. With so many people against the shows, the zoos decided to make a change.
People see animals in zoos. At the same time, they try to learn about and protect them. Both people and animals can get a lot from each other.
