Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur （创业者）, who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth, instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it？” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.

With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.

Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product-CanCandy.

As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.

Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

24. How did Mo ore react to her dad's warning?

A. She argued with him.             B. She paid no attention.

C. She tried to find a solution out.      D. She chose to consult dentists.

25. What is special about Can Candy?

A. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.       B. It doesn't contain sweeteners.

C. It is sweeter than other candies.         D. It is beneficial to dental health.

26. What does Mo ore expect from her business?

A. To earn more money.           B. To beat other candy companies.

C. To make herself succeed.        D. To help others find smiles.

27. What can we learn from Alice Moore's, story?

Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there's an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what's known as a Received Pronunciation(RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen's English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.

Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country - from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands-are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.

In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.

However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.

Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He's now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he's learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.

So if you're working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.

28. What can we infer from paragraph 1?

A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.

B. Only “the queen's English” is accepted in the UK.

C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.

D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen's English”.

29. What do people think of the Brummie accent?

A. Favored by foreign visitors to the UK.         B. Closest to the RP accent.

C. Smart and easy to understand.                D. Spoken by people of lower class.

30. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Speaking in a RP accent.             B. Speaking in regional accents.

C. Speaking the Brummie accent.        D. Speaking like Harry Potter.

31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.

B. A comparison between different British accents.

C. How much British people value the RP accent.

D. The impact of regional accents on people's lives.

D

There are usually few people who want to do housework. But a new study has found it is important to our general health and happiness to wash the dishes, dust the shelves and do troublesome things alike.

Actually, scientists now believe cleaning up the house is more important to mental and physical health than other factors（因素）, such as the area you live in or how much you earn. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University say doing housework is helpful because of the exercise it takes to get the daily job done, which in turn affects mental health.

Dr. Kathy Wright and a research team at the university's Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing wanted to find out how property（财产）, education, environment and health behaviors, like smoking, affect an older person's health．The study's 337 participants （参与者）, from 65 to 90 years old, had at least one chronic（慢性的） illness which prevented them from doing at least one basic daily task, such as bathing and dressing.

Dr. Wright said she was surprised to learn that doing housework and keeping their property affected the participants' mental and physical health more than other factors. “House cleaning kept them up and moving,” said Dr. Wright. “A clean environment is helpful in treating some illnesses. And poverty（贫穷） did not directly affect mental or physical health.”

The study proved what Dr. Wright had observed in her visits：people living in a dirty environment seemed less satisfied than those in a place that was neat and tidy. Dr. Wright hopes the study shows how important it is for older people with chronic illnesses to continue physical activities, such as doing reaching exercises while sitting, standing up and sitting down in a chair.

32. Why does the author mention “few people want to do housework” in paragraph 1？

A. To track a study.             B. To describe a fact.

C. To Introduce the topic.         D. To attract readers' attention.

33.What can we benefit from doing housework？

A. Learn to share.                B. Get some exercise.

C. Learn to be responsible.         D. Enjoy staying with family members.

34. How did Dr. Wright and the team do the research？

A. They chose those who were weak as their participants.

B. They observed the changes of the participants' behaviors.

C. They tried different treatments for the participants' illnesses.

D. They limited the participants' moving areas to certain places.

35. What is the text mainly about？

A. The best ways to do housework.              B. How people improve their health.

C. Different attitudes towards housework.         D. Housework does good to people's fitness.

Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently. These tools can record your daily steps, heart rates, etc.   36   . If yes, it might be a sign that you're addicted to your fitness tracker.

   37   . If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long, and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout, then you're most probably addicted to your fitness tracker.

It's a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitnesstrackers.   38   . For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you've come can give you a sense of achievement.

Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging. You might focus on your shortcomings rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels.   39    .

Therefore, if you're spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level.   40   . For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things.

A. Don't overuse your smartwatch.

B. It doesn't convey what you're really feeling.

C. After all, reaching a daily step count can be so appealing.

D. How can you tell whether you're addicted to your fitness tracker?

E. Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically.

F. However, do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often?

G. Besides, you can find other things to do that don't involve checking your fitness tracker.

Even more than that, she loved school because she got to be with her friends all day long. Paris a was an only child, and she thought it was too. Quiet at home.

Now her two best friends in the neighborhood were out of town for two weeks, and to Paris a, it-seemed like two years. What would she do? Sitting on the wide front step of her house, she looked through her favorite kid magazine. The word “competition” caught her eye. “Create Your Own Magazine!” the headline read.

Paris a loved magazines, but it had never occurred to her that she could create one herself. The article said competitors must send in an eight-page magazine with handwritten articles and hand drawn pictures—nothing. was printed by computer.

Paris a returned to her room and lay down on the floor next to her cat, This was what she did whenever she needed to think of really good ideas. She closed her eyes and imagined all sorts of magazines. She imagined magazines about bikes, skating, ballet, soccer, dessert… But after much thought, she knew what she wanted to feature（以……为特色） in her magazine—her neighborhood, for there were always interesting things. She would call it “The Tall pins Gazette（报纸）” and fill it with news:

She found a notebook and a pen and left her room. Then she found her grandmother at the door and told her about the competition. “Granny, I'm going to be a reporter for a while,” Paris a said. “I'm going to see if there's any news.” Her grandmother smiled, “Well, good luck, honey. You do like asking questions, so I bet you won't have too much trouble finding news.” Two hours later, Parisa ran into the house. “Granny, I've got so much news that I can't fit it into eight pages!”

Usually held in October annually on the school playground, it's a splendid platform for us to take an active part in sports and bring out the best in ourselves.

Would you please share your school life with me? Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,
