First of all, it's a myth that no two snowflakes(雪花)are the same. In 1988, a scientist found two exact same snow crystals(晶体)that had both formed in a snow storm in Wisconsin, USA. Since then scientists have come to learn that snowflakes can only form into 35 different shapes. Although scientists are also not sure why exactly the various shapes of snowflake form, they have confirmed(确定)eight main shapes, with each of these eight shapes having several different variations(变化). Second biggest myth, snow isn't white. It's actually colorless. Snow is made up of very small pieces of ice, and ice is translucent(半透明的), which means that light does not pass through it easily, but rather it gets reflected(反射). When light hits a snowflake, it gets reflected back from the snowflake's many surfaces, often bouncing(弹跳)between these surfaces, and because of this that light is reflected back to our eyes as the color white. This is why, when we have a close look at a snowflake, it always looks clear, yet in reality appears as white. 1.What does the underlined word "myth" probably mean in the passage? A.Something that is not true. B.Something that is amazing. C.Something that is interesting. D.Something that is not good. 2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Light can easily pass through ice. B.A scientist found two different snow crystals. C.When we have a close look at a snowflake, it looks clear. D.Scientists are sure about the reasons why various shapes of snowflake form. 3.This passage is probably from ________ . A.a weather report B.a science magazine C.a science fiction D.a travel guide

Parents complain about their teenagers' noses always in their phones. But they might want to look into their own screen time habits. A study from the Pew Research Center was put out last week. It found that two-thirds of parents are worried about the amount of time their teenage children spend in front of screens. But more than a third of parents said they have worries about their own screen time. More than half of teens said they often or sometimes find their parents to be distracted(分心的).It's often when the teens are trying to have a conversation with them. The study calls teens' relationship with their phones "closely connected" at times. It shows that nearly three-fourths check messages when they wake up. They also check their notifications(通知).Parents do the same. But parents do it at a lower rate. That rate is 57 percent. It is still a lot. Big tech companies face a growing backlash(强烈抵制).There are complaints against the nature of their products. And against their apps. People complain about the endless notifications and other features. They say they are created to keep people tied to their screens. Many teens are trying to do something about it. Fifty-two percent said they have cut back on the time they spend on their phones. Fifty-seven percent did the same with social media. Researchers say parents have a big role in their kids' screen habits. Setting a good example is a big part of it. "Kids don't always do what we say but they do as we do." That's according to Donald Shifrin, a professor who works at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He was not doing the Pew study. "Parents are the door that kids will walk through on their way to the world." 1.Why do teens often or sometimes find their parents to be distracted? A.Because parents pay more attention to their own phones. B.Because parents don't have a good relationship with teens. C.Because teens often talk too much with their parents. D.Because teens spend more time on their own phones. 2.From the passage, we can learn that ________ . A.parents are worried that their children's noses go wrong B.few parents read messages on their phones in the morning C.more than half of teens realize the bad sides of their phones D.teens always refuse to do things the way their parents do 3.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To warn the bad influence of phones on children. B.To ask parents to control their time on the screen. C.To complain about the terrible features of phones. D.To help teens develop good habits of using phones.

It was nearly seven o'clock, when a man walked into a bar, ordered a drink and turned to watch the television. The seven o'clock news was on and it was showing a man standing on top of a tall building. He was looking down at the crowd of people below. On the ground, a police officer with a megaphone(扩音器)was trying to tell him not to jump. "Let's talk about your problem," the police officer was saying. "Perhaps we can help you." The man turned to the bartender(酒吧侍者)and said, "I bet you a hundred dollars he doesn't jump. The bartender looked at him. "You're offering me a hundred dollars if he jumps? Is that right?" "Yes. I don't think he'll jump." The bartender smiled. "OK. You've got a bet." The man turned back to the TV and watched it carefully. The bartender, however, did not seem to be very interested.

You arrive at the mall anxious to buy your favorite CD or the coolest computer game. Nothing will stop you, not even the price — even if you don't have enough money, Mom or Dad will use a credit card(信用卡) to pay. But wait! Is using a credit card really that simple? There are some things you should know about using credit cards before you go shopping. 1.Credit card companies lend you money, which you are expected to pay back. They don’t lend you money just to be nice, however. In fact, they make billions of dollars this way. You spend 45 dollars buying a pair of jeans on a credit card, then about a month later, the credit company sends you a bill for 45 dollars.2.But what if you can’t pay the whole bill? Usually, you are allowed to pay part of it. Let’s say you pay $10 the first month. Now the credit card company begins to get money from you. They charge extra money, called interest(利息), on whatever part of the money you didn't pay. Now the $35 you still have on your bill begins to grow. Even if you don’t buy anything more, by the time you get your bill the following month, you will have more than $35 to need paying back. And every day, interest keeps adding up.3. But the good news is that a credit card is convenient. 4.Besides, the credit card companies also offer extra services. For example, if something you bought online with your card stops working in a short time, the company may give your money back. 5.They spend more money than they can afford to pay back. Knowing how to use credit wisely will be necessary and help you to be a smart shopper.
A. It is sometimes the only way to pay when you shop over the Internet. B. You'd better borrow money from friends instead of using a credit card. C. Using a credit card is a way of borrowing money to buy things. D. Some people get themselves in trouble with credit cards. E. If you pay the whole 45 dollars back right away, it won't cost you anything. F. So actually those jeans will end up costing you more than $ 45. G. I always believe money is not everything.
