He collects up thin air and then uses it to fill empty glass bottles. He says the air inside of the bottles has been purified through a special method. Many people are calling him a “scammer (骗子)” for charging $5 for such an empty bottle. In reply to these complaints, he claims that it’s never easy to fill a bottle with air. The Wildest Adventure A nut harvester in Heilongjiang recently had himself quite an adventure while picking pine nuts with the help of a hydrogen (氮气) balloon. The balloon, however, had somehow accidentally got untied. The balloon he was in then floated in the air aimlessly, taking him about 320 kilometers away from his starting point. Luckily, the man was saved and brought back down to the ground after spending two days and two nights in the air.

It has features of a special taste of dumplings along with flavouring (调味品) of vinegar (醋), garlic (蒜) and ginger (姜). Many people are calling it the worst drink ever created. Would you be brave enough to give it a try Prehistoric Footprints Come to Light Drought conditions have caused a Texas river to dry up at the Dinosaur Valley State Park. To everyone’s surprise, the footprints of a dinosaur that lived 113 million years ago were recently found in the dried-up riverbed. These tracks have been hidden under the water and filled long before with sediment (沉积物), which had made them all but unable to be seen. This discovery is exciting for the park, which expects to make more new track discoveries in the near future.

When you want to travel for the first time, you’re a bit afraid to travel on your own and naturally prefer to travel with other people. So you ask your friends to join you. As you show them the photos you discovered online, you are sure you will get a travel partner or two.
But interestingly enough, the first friend you ask, perhaps your closest friend, turns you down. And you move on to the next friend, but he too tells you he doesn’t want to join you at all.
Maybe you decide to postpone your trip, hoping that one of your friends will change his mind. Maybe you decide to forget about your trip, fully convinced (确信) that the only way you would ever be able to have the confidence to travel is with a friend or travel partner by your side.
If that is the case, then I’m quite happy that you are reading this article. Here’s my advice to you. You may be on your own when you board your flight, but once you arrive, you’ll never actually be alone.
That’s how travel works, so don’t be afraid to travel on your own. You’re going to meet people when you travel. In fact, meeting new people is probably one of the easiest things to do when travelling because you quickly have connection with every other traveller. All travellers are strangers in a foreign land and as a result, we often would love to have the chance to travel with a new friend.
Maybe you’ll meet someone at a cafe, in shop, on a bus, or just in the street. Maybe you’ll end up wandering around a city for an afternoon with this person and then saying goodbye. And the next day, you’ll probably meet someone else to share new experiences with as well. Perhaps you’ll meet someone and decide to travel together for a couple of days or weeks.
The point is, you’ll meet plenty of people in just about every single corner of the world, even if you’re the shyest person on the planet. And before long, you’ll understand why I always give the same answer every time I’m asked what it’s like to always be traveling alone. I just say, “I maybe travel alone but I’m never really on my own.”
14．What can we learn from the passage
A．You prefer someone to go with you when you travel for the first time.
B．Your closest friend is always willing to go for a trip with you.
C．The photos online will surely make your friends interested in travelling.
D．It is no fun if there is no close friend travelling with you.
15．What does the underlined word “postpone” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A．give up B．prepare for C．put off D．cut off
16．Which of the following is true
A．Meeting new people is the most difficult thing when travelling.
B．People would love to have the chance to travel with a new friend.
C．A shy person won’t be able to meet any new people when travelling.
D．If you board your flight alone, you will travel alone all the way.
17．What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A．Don’t be afraid to travel on your own. B．It’s not easy to get a travel partner.
C．Don’t go travelling without a partner. D．It’s necessary to make a travel plan.

“I know I did wrong,” I said. “But the crew wants to kill me. Only Silver saved me. I know the men will hurt me if they can.”

“You know where the ship is!” he said.
I told the doctor about my adventures. As soon as I finished, he said, “Jim, you have again saved all our lives. You found out what the mutineers planned to do. Jump down from the wall, and we’ll run for it.”
“No, Doctor,” I said.
At this moment, Silver came back to the wall.

The world has many refugees (难民), but we usually hear little about their lives. This year’s Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah, is helping people know more about their stories.
Gurnah’s works are mainly about the impact of colonialism (殖民主义的影响) and the experiences of refugees, who leave their countries to stay safe or find a better life. “These are things that are with us every day. People are dying, people are being hurt around the world—we must deal with these problems in the most kind way,” said Gurnah.
In fact, this problem is very close to his own heart. When he was just 18, Gurnah was forced to leave his home country as a refugee. He moved to England and soon started writing novels there.
Aged 73, Gurnah has written 10 novels and a number of short stories. In 1994, Gurnah wrote Paradise (《天堂》), one of his best-known novels. It’s about a boy in Africa called Yusuf, who grew up during World War I. Yusuf was sold by his father to a traveling trader to pay a debt (债务). As he traveled, Yusuf saw war, disease and child slavery. The name of the book is ironic (讽刺的), because although the scenery of Africa is beautiful, what happens in the story there is the opposite.
Before Gurnah retired, he was a professor at the University of Kent in England. The head of the university’s School of English said that Gurnah’s works “have touched millions worldwide and shine a light on human experiences that are so often ignored (忽略)”.
22．Gumah’s hope might be ________.
A．to make Africa more beautiful
B．to experience the life of a refugee
C．to help deal with the refugee problem
D．to keep refugees in their own countries
23．Paradise is about ________.
A．the beauty of East Africa
B．the experiences of an African boy
C．how war leads to disease and slavery
D．what Gurnah saw during World War I
24．About the life of Gurnah , we can learn that ________.
A．one of his parents is British
B．all his works are long stories
C．he wrote many novels in Tanzania
D．he once worked at a university in the UK
25．The best title of the article may be ________.
A．East Africa: a terrible life
B．Paradise: a fantastic novel
C．World War I: forgetful history
D．Nobel winner: Abdulnizuk Gurnnh

Online shopping uses a lot of shipping, which isn’t great for the environment. That’s especially true if something needs to be returned. 26
Slow it down
27 This will give the company more time to plan and completely fill the trucks with goods（货物）, which means fewer trucks are needed and less energy is used.
Buy everything at once
If you’re buying more than one thing, try to order everything at the same time so there’s a better chance the things will come in one box. 28 Sometimes the items may be shipped from different places.
Pick it up
Some stores let you order online, then you may pick up your order yourself from somewhere nearby. This means more goods are sent to one place instead of being driven to different homes. 29
30
If you buy something online from a company that also has stores near you, take anything you need to return there instead of shipping it. Things that are returned to stores normally stay there. But when you use shipping to return something, it may be driven to many different places before it is sold to someone else.

Friends are important part of our lives. We spend time with them, have fun together and share our opinions, feelings and even secrets. Life would be boring without friends.

We need someone to share sings with to make them more enjoyable. Being lonely for long periods of time is not a great feeling. That is why it is important to spend time making friends and nurturing (维持) a close group of friends.
It is important to have a friend to talk to, whether it is about a sad or happy subject. In good times, it is wonderful to be able to celebrate with someone. It is also important to have someone support you if you have just had an unpleasant experience. Friends are important pillars (中心人物) of support.

My growing pain
My middle school life is coming to an end. During the three years, not only did I have a happy time, but I had kinds of problems. My biggest problem was from my parents. They wanted me to spend all my time on my lessons. They didn’t allow me to play computer games or have outdoor activities with my friends.
I couldn’t stand the strict rules! So I wrote a letter and told my parents I knew it was important to do well in schoolwork. I would make good use of the time and try to do well in schoolwork first. After a long talk with my parents, they agreed that I could have spare time and do something I like.
Now I have realized communicating with our parents is a good way to solve our problems.
