1.One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.

The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 2. Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 3.All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.

4.You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.

At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5.Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!

C. What are you interest in?

Climate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.

The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.

Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.

The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds travel the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.

A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 and 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.

1.What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?

A. Better living conditions.    B. Better physical health.

C. Stronger ability to fly.    D. Bigger threat to life.

2.To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.

A. have a break in the Sahara    B. put on more weight

C. reduce the size of internal organs    D. fly at night to avoid the heat

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.

B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.

C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.

D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.

4.What’s the best title of the text?

A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequence

B. The annual voyage of some species

C. How birds migrate for longer distances

D. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther

A great invention by an 18-year-old high school student grew out of a simple problem most teenagers meet with.

“I'm a teenager and I have a cellphone and my cellphone battery always dies,so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,” Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across the super capacitor.”

The teenager who came from California, and graduated from high school last week,won a $50,000 prize on May 17,2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cellphone in 20 to 30 seconds.

“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of energy,” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one strand of hair.”

Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cellphone yet,but she used it to power a light-emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cellphones,the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to juice it up in a matter of seconds. The technology isn't available to consumers yet,and it could be years until it is.

At an Intel event in Phoenix,Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award,taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1,600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been approached by several companies to continue her research,but she is now focused on attending Harvard University in autumn.

“Right now,just my education,but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said about her plans. “I have a lot of interests,so we'll see what I do in the future.”

1.The passage starts with ________.

A. what problem most teenagers meet with in life

B. how Khare helped others with their problems

C. why Khare decided to make the invention

D. how teenagers make use of their cellphones

2.According to the passage, Khare ________.

A. was most probably born in 1995

B. will graduate from high school

C. will donate much of her prize

D. is the first teenager to win such a big prize

3.The super capacitor ________.

A. is as thin as a hair

B. can produce enough energy soon

C. has been popular on the market

D. has not been put in use in daily life

It's been said that honesty is the best policy.It sounds like the simplest thing in the world,but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a real challenge.Most of us learned to be dishonest as children.Remember that dishonesty is rooted in fear,so you must look for and face those fears.By listing areas where you have a problem,and then working to deal with them,you can battle these habits.If you find yourself lying because you fear disapproval from someone,for example,perhaps you need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser and be yourself.Most importantly,admit your errors so that you can forgive yourself and use those experiences to reinforce your determination to do better.

If you feel guilty for having been dishonest in the past,apologize to the person you lied to or find a creative way to make things right.If you've lied to a person who plays an important role in your life (a significant other,relative,or friend),the best (but most difficult) thing to do is to come clean.

Think honestly.This may sound silly,but if you don't think honestly,you won't be honest.

If you're pushed into a corner and don't know how to respond,you have the right to remain silent or say"Can we talk about this another time?"or"I really don't feel comfortable talking about this."Don't say"I don't know."

Practice being honest on the simple things.Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cents that did not belong to him,hence the nickname"Honest Abe".By applying honesty to the little things,you will get in the habit of being honest in general.

1.What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest?

A. Optimistic.    B. Pessimistic.

C. Skeptical.    D. Unconcerned.

2.What does the underlined word"reinforce"in paragraph 2mean?

A. show    B. Strengthen

C. express    D. weak

3.What's the author's main purpose of writing the text?

A. To encourage people to be honest.

B. To arouse readers 'interest in being famous.

C. To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln.

D. To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Challenge Yourself

B. No Need to Lie to Others

C. Honesty is the Best Policy

D. Little Things Can Make a Big difference.
