Many years later, when people recall the 2018 Russia World Cup, they will remember many things. With the tragic ending of the defending champion Germany, Mexico has triumphantly and suddenly lost three goals in the face of Sweden. But people will never forget the back of a lonely person . That is Lionel Messi. 31-year-old Messi took off the green armband of his left arm and suddenly fell out. In the recent match, he and his team lost the game against France. The 19-year-old striker Mbappé relentlessly ripped apart the Argentine defense line and scored twice, which made a great contribution to the victory of France. On this planet, anyone who knows a little about football knows the name Lionel Messi and his golden years from 2007 to 2017. In 2007, 19-year-old Messi tied Real Madrid three times with a hat-trick, and began his legendary career. In the past ten years, Mr. Football, the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Boot Award have been taken over by him. He led Argentina and Barcelona to make a name for themselves in the world, and has a brilliant record in the Champions League, America's Cup and World Cup. Eleven years later, Messi stood on the Kazan Stadium. After four World Cups, he knew that this might be the last time he led Argentina to the World Cup. Since 1986, Argentina has never won a championship again. As a captain, he has a great responsibility, even stating that he would withdraw from the national team if he did not win the championship this year. This is a prophecy. Messi, who eventually failed to save the game, did not receive any interview after standing up on the lawn; leave behind only a legendary image for the world. 1.The underlined word “relentlessly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________?

North and South Koreans face a widening language gap caused by 70 years of separation. That is creating some communication problems for the two countries' first joint Olympic team as it prepares for 2018 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang. South Korea So, the joint women's hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean. Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach. She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-member South Korean team. South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. . Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word "pass," but their North Korean teammates say "yeol lak" or "communication." North Koreans say "nahl gay soo" meaning "wing player." South Koreans call that position "wing," like in English. South Koreans say "block shot" while North Koreans say "buhduh make: or "stretching to block." Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an important part in bridging the divide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the joint team. However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near. 1.What factor mainly causes the communication barriers for North and South Joint Hockey Team? A. The team was suddenly formed in a hurry. B. They are devoted to preparing the Winter Olympics. C. There exists a gap between the two language. D. They have been separated from each other for 70 years. 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. South Korean players are so critical of the joint Olympic team. B. There are altogether 35 players in the joint Olympic team. C. Murray from Canada doubts the three-page document in their communication. D. North Korean assistant coach plays an important role in their communication. 3.How do the joint team solve the communication problems? A. South Korean brings in English words but North Korean created substitutes from Korea B. They translate important hockey terms from English into South Korean. C. They translate important hockey terms from South Korean into North Korean. D. They use English to bridge the language gaps with the help of their own dictionary. 4.What is the author's attitude towards the joint hockey team? A. Supportive B. Negative C. Objective D. Subjective

In cooperation with German experts, Several scientists from the University of Bradford believe that they finally solved a mystery that has been confusing millions of people: why our hair turns gray with age. The researchers came up with their results by examining native hair and cells from human hair follicles（毛囊）. They say the secret turns out to be hidden in catalase（过氧化氢酶）, which is causing hair to turn gray. Catalase production goes down with age and stress, allowing hydrogen peroxide（过氧化氢） in the hair to do its favorite job—making hair gray, and then white, by blocking the normal production of melanin（黑色素）. Melanin is our hair's natural pigment that is responsible for the color of hair. It also determines the color of our eyes and skin. Dr. Gerald Weizmann, an editor of a journal, says," All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes quite a lot, and our hair turns gray and then white." The new study brings hope for millions of people who have to color their hair: to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore gray or white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray. The researchers are already conducting an experiment with such a drug on a few volunteers with gray hair and expect to get the results in the next two to three months. If everything works out, millions of people will choose between this drug and other previously used expensive dyes. However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market. 1.What is the passage mainly about? A. The effect that gray hair has on people. B. The chemical elements of people's hair. C. The reason why people's hair turns gray. D. New drugs to prevent people's hair from turning gray. 2.According to the passage, people's hair turns gray because of______. A. a decrease in catalase B. the death of hair cells C. the production of melanin D. a decrease in hydrogen peroxide 3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The new study shows it's harmful to color our hair with dyes. B. Dr. Gerald Weizmann is in charge of the new drug experiment. C. Our hair cells make lots of hydrogen peroxide when we are young. D. We may restore our gray or white hair to its natural color with shampoo. 4.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Only a small number of people can use the new drug. B. Most of the volunteers in the experiment are old people. C. The drug cannot be brought to the market soon even if it works. D. The researchers have already known the results of the experiment.

Did you feel like the negative remark was more influential than the compliments that you received earlier? If the answer to the question is “Yes”, then you are not alone. 1. When negative remarks come about, you remind yourself that it is only someone’s opinion and everyone is entitled (使享有权利) to express their opinions. They have the right to say anything they want to say.2.. You can choose to do whatever you feel necessary with that person’s opinion. When I was a kid, I heard a saying — “A barking dog won’t stop a moving carriage.” That is to say if a carriage is moving and a dog is running after it while barking, the carriage won’t stop because of that dog’s barking. As to campus bullying, I suggest an exercise to kids who are being bullied at school. 3. Take a deep breath, in through your nose. Exhale out of your mouth, and pretend there is a drinking straw (吸管) in your mouth so that you exhale air in a straight line. This short exercise will be calming, and allow you to stay cool. 4.. I personally do not know anyone who is calm. What I’m suggesting is that you learn to productively deal with other people’s negatively, and take control of your emotions and thoughts. In an article in Psychology Today, Dr Raj Raghunathan says, “The difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people is simple. Extraordinary people choose to listen to their positivity and ignore other people’s negativity.”5.. So you should learn how to deal with negative remarks and not let them control your emotions and thoughts. A. Meantime, you choose to be affected by the negative remakes. B. They see things differently. C. There are many people feelings like this, but you all need to learn how to handle negative remarks. D. As for as I’m concerned, some else’s opinion is not necessarily a reflection of your reality. E. Now I’m not asking you to become calm. F. Therefore, you must stay calm. G. Please do the exercise next time someone is pushing your buttons or getting under your skin, and you’re about to lose your temper.
