We all know that flight tickets (飞机票) are usually expensive in peak seasons (旺季) like the Christmas holiday. And it’s hard to buy a ticket in those seasons. However, when the peak seasons are over, the price of flight tickets becomes much lower. How can you buy a flight ticket successfully at a lower price? A website called Google Flights can help you. Google Flights can help you find the best flights according to your needs and plan your trip well. For example, if you want to go to New York in February, you can input (输入) your information into the website. Then it will show you the exact day in February when the ticket price is the lowest. If you want to travel with at most 1,000 dollars but don’t know where to go, just tell Google Flights. It will tell you which city is the most suitable for you and help you make plans for your trip. Google Flights also helps you compare prices among different airlines. It provides a calendar with flight prices listed every day.

Millie was a very lonely girl without friends. She always longed (渴望) so much for love. One morning Millie found two hungry and weak songbirds while walking in the forest near her house. She took them home and put them in a small cage. After being looked after well with love, the two birds luckily grew strong little by little. Every morning they said hello to Millie with a wonderful song. Millie felt great love for the birds. One day, Millie left the door to the cage open carelessly. The larger and stronger one of the two birds flew out of the cage. Millie was afraid that the bird would fly away, so as the bird flew close, she caught him wildly. Her heart felt glad of her success in catching him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go limp (无力的). She opened her hand and watched the dying bird in fear until it was dead. It was her desperate love that had killed him. Millie noticed the other bird moving back and forth in the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear and blue sky. Unwillingly (不情愿地), Millie lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times around Millie. Millie’s heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she actually wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. From time to time, the bird flew closer and landed on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest tune that Millie had ever heard. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tight, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings! 1.Where did Millie find the two birds?

We all heard of stress. And many of us are in the face of stress. Some of the stresses are good and can actually be helpful — they give you the energy you need to start your day, to face problems or even to prepare for good things (such as vacations). On the other hand, some stresses last for a very long time, and make it hard for people to deal with their problems. These are bad stresses. People who are dealing with bad stresses often need help to face their problems, illnesses and even the influence on their family or social life. But what many people don’t realize is that a life without stress can be possible, if dealt with correctly. Here are some ways that have been shown: •Realize that you can’t avoid stress, but you can learn how to deal with it •Find out where your stresses come from •Pay attention to your self-control and feelings •Choose exercises you like, three to four times a week •Eat healthily •Sleep well •Use social support •Think positively •Learn how to think about something seriously for a long time •Manage your time •Make a diary for your doctor-visit, MRI, blood examination, etc •A stress specialist can create a professional program for you Stress doesn’t have to be your enemy, and getting ready to deal with it can be the first step in the right direction. Remember that you do have a choice in the matter. As William James, an American philosopher, once wrote, “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought instead of another.” 1.What can we get from good stresses? A. Energy. B. Support. C. Choice. D. Direction. 2.Mark is under great pressure these days. How often should he do physical activities according to the material? A. Four times a month. B. Three times a week. C.

The American company Otherlab has built a new drone (无人机) which the company calls “Sky Machine”. Compared with other unmanned aircraft (无人机), the drone is very different. It is made almost completely out of cardboard. It can be packed with materials and sealed (密封) up with tape. The drone looks like a big paper airplane that we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is not a toy, it was designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be launched at once and then they are guided to where they are supposed to go to complete deliveries (递送) to different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers. The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour. Now it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future ones are expected to carry heavier loads (负荷). One of the drone’s main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery. This provides more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and work. The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target, according to Otherlab. And once the drone completes its delivery, ▲ and the cardboard material will decompose (分解) within a few months. Otherlab says the drones can also be reused. Otherlab has received money from the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The U.S. military has a need for delivery drones. But the delivery drones they usually use can be stolen and studied by others if found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside the drones must also somehow disappear. Otherlab’s Sky Machine is an attempt to fill that need. Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to selfdestruct (自毁). 1.What makes the new drone very different from other unmanned airplanes? A. It will drop things while flying. B. It can be played as a toy. C. Its main material is cardboard. D. It was made by Otherlab. 2.Having no heavy motor or large battery can _______. A. make the drone fly faster B. make it difficult for the drone to land C. make the drone cost more to build D. provide more space for carrying materials 3.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. it can be thrown away B. it will go to the next place C. it can fly back where it lands D. it will land within 10 meters of its target 4.From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______. A. the U.S. military is using Otherlab’s Sky Machines B. the delivery drones the U.S. military uses are always stolen C. the U.S. Department of Defense supports Otherlab’s research D. the electronic materials inside a military drone can disappear easily
