Aging and health problems play a role in sunken eyes but other factors can contribute, so it may affect younger people as well. Dehydration（脫水）The most mon cause of sunken eyes is dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Consuming too much coffee, soda, and prepackaged drinks may increase production of urine(尿液), which may lead to dehydration. Vitamin shortagesShortages of vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron can cause eyes to bee sunken. Vitamin C helps with absorbing iron and decreasing bruising(瘀斑), while vitamin K is responsible for blood thickening, causing unhealthy skin. Easy bruising and unhealthy skin will result in sunken eyes. Weight lossMost people tend to lose weight in their face first. Sometimes, the weight loss is sudden enough to make blood vessels(血管)below the eyes easy to see, and the skin clear, producing the appearance of sunken eyes. Sudden weight loss may also cause nutritional shortages, which can lead to sunken eyes. Not enough sleep or poor quality sleep can cause sunken eyes and a persons DNA or the habit of smoking can also contribute to sunken eyes. Most cases of sunken eyes relate to the quality of an individuals nutrition and healthy living. When these causes are corrected, sunken eyes can be resolved without further treatment. This means that causes can be avoided or treated in good time to prevent the recurrence of sunken eyes. 1. What can we do to prevent dehydration according to the text?A. Refuse coffee. B. Drink more water. C. Say no to soft drinks. D. Have certain drinks less. 2. What will lead to bruising below the eyes?A. Lack of vitamin K. B. Water shortages. C. Lack of vitamin C. D. Nutritional shortages. 3. Which of the following should be avoided for people losing weight?A. Pale faces. B. Sudden weight loss. C. Clean skin. D. Narrow blood vessels.BI was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! Bam! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed.I sat at the edge of my bed and listened.Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.I started dozing off, dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped.It was now replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise ing from a beehive in midsummer, only louder. I shivered.Im allergic to bees! Even just thinking about it or hearing a beelike sound makes me swell.“Thats it！” I shouted, now wide awake, “I cant take it anymore！” I marched to the next apartment and knocked.My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair tumbled every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt. “Hi, Lucy! Whats up？” he asked.I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know what time it is？”He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. “Oh, my God! I didnt realize it was that late. Im busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia (失眠). Its almost finished.You want to see it？”I should have known. His last invention was supposed to annihilate bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.4What made the author sleepy again?AThe ticking. BThe ing of bees.CThe smell of rotten eggs. DHer neighbors silence.5What was Charlie doing?AHe was inventing a wristwatch. BHe was working with bees.CHe was making a new machine. DHe was fixing a broken clock.6How did Charlie feel when he saw the author?AScared. BSurprised. CAnnoyed. DDisappointed.7What does the underlined word “annihilate” in the last paragraph mean?AMake use of. BGive off. CTell apart. DGet rid of. C In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere. Leave. Go. After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go. I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my fort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco. . . And when I had conversations with these students in or outside of class we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”. It was like small town America didnt exist. And this urban interest doesnt just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless. Ill never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten. This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities this mindset of leaving small towns and never ing back I dont want to add to that movement. I want to turn over that movement. Now its my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? Im a sixth grade teacher in Helena now. 8. What do people in American countryside think of the future of the youth at home?A. Secure. B. Fragile. C. Promising. D. Bright. 9. What did the author find in his college classroom?A. Students chatted freely. B. Countryside was ignored. C. He was looked down upon. D. Students concentrated on education. 10. How would the author feel about the professors reaction?A. Its emotional. B. Its natural. C. Its positive. D. Its disappointing. 11. What is the author doing now?A. Teaching in a college. B. Fighting for the movement. C. Working with the professor. D. Devoting himself to his hometown. D People love Shakespeares vocabulary and creativity. He used more than 15,000 words in this writing! But Bibles Old Testament (舊約圣經(jīng)) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented manynew terms and phrase.If someones behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted. Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was silly and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on somethings quality, Shakespeare called them critics (評論家). Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.The familiar phrase “break the ice” es from Shakespeares play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More mon words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “l(fā)onely”, “bump” and “hurry”.Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time.12.

I saw children throw their left over food into the large trash cans from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers. I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket. In China, this was a huge no-no in school. We had to finish everything. One day, my first grade teacher announced that we would be having a party and everyone was told to bring something from their country. 17 . My mom stayed up after her long day of work and made many dumplings. She put them in the fridge and woke up early in the morning to steam them and fry them so they would taste extra fresh when I brought them to school. They smelled great and looked golden brown after they were cooked. I was so excited to share these with my class and teachers. It was placed in the corner of the table next to all the other delicious food. 18 . One or two kids bravely took a piece and knew what they were because they had it with their parents at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the party, it was cleanup. My teacher walked up to me and asked, pointing to the dumplings, “Would you like to take these home?” I carefully replied, “No” 19 . I thought she was going to share it with other teachers, but immediately after I said that, she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning. I was confused; what just happened? 20 . And today I still witness this frequently in my English fiends. Please eat all your food or take it to go or share it or just get enough so you dont have to throw it away. Thank you. A. In China, “no” usually means “yes”B. I got super excited and told my parentsC. It was very impolite to take your gift homeD. This was the biggest culture shock I have experiencedE.
