We usually don’t mind when people call us by positive nicknames.1.But when people call us by cruel nicknames, it can be difficult to get them to stop. So what should you do?

Leave a nicknames behind. Sometimes, life gives us a chance to start fresh3.If you’re moving from elementary school to middle school, let your friends know that don’t want to go by your old nickname.
Ignore those who call you by a nickname. If the kids calling you by a bad nickname aren’t your friends, you should do your best to ignore them.4.It may be hard to pretend that it doesn’t hurt, but if you get angry or obviously upset, it will just encourage them to use the nickname all the time.
5.Remember that if you have a bad nickname now, you probably won’t be stuck with it. Just look at Elvis Presley! When he first started singing on stage, he wiggled(摆动）his hips so much that cruel critics and the audience nicknamed him Elvis The Pelvis. He never stopped wiggling.

As we all know ,trees are important to our life. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list—blocking out harmful bacteria in water.
The discovery was made by some scientists and high school students who were seeking for a natural water filter(过滤器)—one that could help people in developing countries that don’t have access to modern water systems.
The researchers, led by Rohit Karnik, a professor ,decided to turn to trees for help because they were able to allow liquid to flow through while blocking out air bubbles(气泡）.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branch of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles(染料颗粒)of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team did another experiment, this time with water containing bacteria. Sure enough, the bark held back 99%of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
Mr. Karnik said the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that it can be used to get rid of most of the bacteria. However, what troubles them is that tree bark cannot hold back viruses, which tend to be much smaller.
Though the experiment is successful, we must remember one thing—the bark only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put to practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the bark damp, or find a way to keep the bark’s great filtering ability even when it’s dry.
But the study is not done. The researchers plan on testing other types of trees, including those flowering trees. They think those may be more effective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.
1.How will the discovery affect the world?
A. No harmful bacteria will be found in water.
B. There will be no water pollution around the world.
C. More pine trees will be planted around the world.
D. Clean water will be more accessible in developing countries.
2.What problem troubles the researchers when using the trees bark as a water filter?
A. Viruses cannot be prevented.
B. Tree bark should be wet.
C. It’s hard to remove air bubbles.
D. Not all bacteria can be held back.
3.Why does the team plan to do other experiments?
A. To find other natural water filters.
B. To improve the filtering ability of other trees.
C. To find a way to keep the bark wet.
D. To test the filtering ability of other trees.
4.In which column of a newspaper can we read this text?
A. Culture. B. Science.
C. Lifestyle. D. Society.
There is a common ,usually round object that you can see every day and it appears in many expressions—buttons! Buttons, which are made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.
To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say the expression dates from the late 1860s.
Here is another expression associated with button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.
When buttoning a button, you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped him in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t stand it any longer. You tell him to button it! This is a direct, but a little rude way of saying “Stop talking!”Button your lip is another equally rude way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know how to get that person annoyed or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons.
1.What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?
A. Crazy. B. Traditional.
C. Funny. D. Fashionable.
2.What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?
A. Be cute as a button.
B. Push your button.
C. Button your lip.
D. Be button-down.
3.How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?
