Ever wonder why there are so many people polluting the earth? Ever say to yourself：Hey, I wish that I could do more to help the environment? Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it? Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.

●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.

● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).

● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.

● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.

● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.

● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.

● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.

● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.

Dogs are often called as “man's best friend”, MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua（吉娃娃）, was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2020.

In its tenth year in 2020 the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane, the country's first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.

The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries（参赛者）from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.

MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube（管子）for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue（救助）center,” said her caretaker.

A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.

In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heartwarming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie a worthy receiver ofAmerica's top dog honor.

4. What can we infer about the American Hero Dog Competition?

A. It was first held in 2010B. It was held to honor caretakers of dogs.

C. It takes place every ten years.D. It was started by a charitable organization.

5. With what quality did MacKenzie win the award?

A. Talent and braveryB. Friendliness and care.

C. Courage and selflessness.D. Confidence and independence.

6. In which aspect can students benefit from MacKenzie's visits?

A. Learning from failures.B. Understanding the disabled.

C. Valuing physical health.D. Developing practical ability.

7. What's the best title for the text?

A. Dogs Are Man's Best Friends.B. Treat Dogs the Way We Want to Be Treated.

C. Touching Stories between MacKenzie and PeopleD. 2020 American Hero Dog: A TinyChihuahua.

C

Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.

Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”

“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.

Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.

Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.

8. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?

A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.

C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.

9. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.

10. What do you think of Loeb?

A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.

C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.

11. What's the best title for the text?

A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?

C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel

D

I’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.

It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.

Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.

However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.

I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.

Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.

12. What is the author’s belief?

A. People should live alone.

B. People can’t always be happy.

C. People can’t always achieve their goals.

D. People should pursue true achievements.

13. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?

A. Their strongly believed values.B. Their different needs.

C. Permanent happiness.D. The pursuit of hedonism.

14. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?

A. By being honest to others.B. By changing true nature.

C. By keeping realstically optimistic.D. By pursuing pleasure constantly.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia?

B. What should we do to keep positive?

C. How can we keep happy forever?

D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?
