27-year-ld Alexandra Knx, frm Newcastle, mved in with Flrence Smith after starting a master's degree. Having quite pssibly the largest age gap f any husemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it ff and have a great time living tgether. They watch afternn TV tgether, chat ver a cup f tea, and d sme f the cleaning tgether — “It's n different frm living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Flrence has lived in the Lndn hme fr ver 50 years. She shared it with her husband Dan until he passed away just ver 20 years ag. Having retired frm her jb at the age f 70, and with her family living far away, she was left n her wn. T avid feeling lnely, she signed up fr huse sharing with Hmeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing yur hme is a great idea. Lneliness is hrrible. Having smene else in the hme makes a big difference. Yu dn't have t wrry abut falling ver r hurting yurself. And mre imprtantly, it's lvely t have smebdy t talk t during the day,” Flrence said.
Flrence added, “I was already 67 years ld when my husemate was brn, and when I tld my friends abut it, they thught it was strange. But the mre they find ut abut it, the mre they think it's a very gd idea.”
Alexandra said she was riginally frightened by the idea f mving t Lndn and living with an lder persn, but she cncludes it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way t beat sky-high rental csts. “It just didn't seem like the nrmal thing t d, living with an lder persn,” she explained. “But nw it's like being with an ld family friend. It gives me smewhere really
hmely t cme back t in the evening, which is great.”
What des the underlined part “hit it ff ” in the first paragraph prbably mean?
A. Keep in tuch.B. Get alng well.
C. Get rid f excitement.D. Adapt t new envirnments.
Why des Flrence share her flat?
A. T supprt students.B. T cut dwn n living csts.
C. T have smene's cmpany.D. T get smene t d husewrk.
What made peple surprised at the husemates—Flrence and Alexandra?
The reasns why they live tgether.
The huge age gap between them.
Their effrts t live tgether as family members.
Their unique way f cmmunicating with each ther.
What was Alexandra afraid f at first?
A. The study pressure f her master's degree.B. Living with an ld wman in Lndn.
C. The high rental csts in Lndn.D. Being away frm her family.

Just like the rest f yur bdy, yur taste buds (味蕾) change ver the curse f yur life. Yu might hate mushrms, r eggs, r pblan peppers when yu're an adult. But when yu're a kid, yur tngue is changing mre than it ever will again.
If yu lk in the mirrr and stick ut yur tngue, yu can see lts f little bumps (隆起物) all ver it. They're called papillae. Yur taste buds are actually inside many f these papillae: taste buds are a grup f sensry cells. These cells send signals t yur brain when fd tuches the papillae. Sme f them are mre sensitive t sweet tastes, thers t salty things, and s n. The taste buds' jb is t separate ut the different flavrs s yur brain can put all the tastes tgether and judge if a fd is delicius r nt.
When yu're a kid, yur tngue tastes sweet, sur, and bitter flavrs very strngly — much mre than an adult. The same chclate bar prbably tastes sweeter t yu than t yur mm, and her cffee tastes mre bitter. And yur brain has strng pinins abut them t. Kids seem t really like sweet fds and really dislike bitter fds. As yu grw, that desire fr sweet things eases, and flavrs like salty, savry, and sur becme mre attractive.
As adults age, their taste buds get weaker and can separate ut fewer flavrs. The sense f smell — a key part in enjying fd — als slwly lses its sharpness. As a result, fd starts t taste light. D yu think that may help explain why sme adults like t eat very spicy r salty fds?
Where yu eat and wh yu eat with is als imprtant. Happy memries f eating the dish with her family might explain why yur grandma lves cream-f-brccli sup, even thugh yu can't stand it. And unpleasant memries assciated with a fd might make smene turn up their nse at smething yu lve.
What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Hw children judge fd.B. Hw peple's taste buds wrk.
C. Why peple's taste buds change. D. Why children and adults like different fd.
Why des the authr mentin a chclate bar in paragraph 3?
T shw adults' fd preference.
T appreciate its appealing flavrs.
T explain taste differences between children and adults.
T analyze why ld peple like sweet fd mre than yung peple.
Hw d peple's taste buds change ver time?
A. They are less picky(挑剔的).B. They becme strnger.
C. They slwly lse their sharpness .D. They are sensitive t mre flavrs.
What can we learn abut peple's fd preference frm the last paragraph?
A. It may be influenced by their families.B. It may be related t certain memries.
C. It may affect their relatinships.D. It may shape their characters.
D
It is becming mre and mre imprtant fr researchers t clsely bserve ur sea life, with climate change and verfishing damaging ur ceans. Hwever, this is almst impssible since human presence scares the animals.
Nw, thanks t The Sft Rbtic Fish, als called SFi, researchers may nt nly be able t keep a clse eye n the creatures, but als uncver undersea secrets that have been cnfusing us fr centuries. Thugh nt the first autnmus underwater vehicle (AUV) created t bserve the ceans, SFi slves many f the prblems that have hindered (妨碍) the usefulness f previus rbts.
AUVs traditinally have had t be tied t a bat because radi cmmunicatins d nt wrk well
underwater. T slve the prblem, CSAIL directr Daniela Rus and her team used sund waves which can travel greater distances, allwing drivers using a waterprfed Super Nintend cntrller t guide SFi frm up t 50 feet away. T ensure SFi can freely mve arund, a cntrller fitted with a battery pwers the rbt thrugh the cean.
During test dives, SFi mved alngside the sea life at depths f 50 feet fr up t 40 minutes at a time, taking high-quality phts and vides. Even mre imprtantly, it was able t d s withut causing sme nises. The researchers say smetimes the fish wuld swim alngside the strange-lking rbt-fish ut f curisity, while at ther times they appeared cmpletely unaware f its existence.
While SFi currently nly recrds vides, future versins will include sensrs. “Fr us, this fish is magical,” says Rus. “We imagine smeday it might help us uncver mre mysteries frm the amazing underwater wrld that we knw s little abut.”
The first paragraph is used t .
A. present an argumentB. give supprting details
C. prvide backgrund infrmatinD. predict the ending
What drives SFi t mve underwater?
A. Sund waves.B. A rbt.
C. A slar battery.D. A special cntrller.
What wrds may be used t describe SFi?
A. Silent-running and magical.B. Fast-mving and disturbing.
C. Multi-functinal and emtinal.D. Scary-lking but sensitive.
What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. We knw little abut the SFi.B. Rus has designed sensrs fr SFi.
C. SFi will be imprved.D. Rus has a magical fish.

S keep yur eye n the gal all the time.
They write their ideas dwn all the time. Hw t stay mtivated t d mre? Successful peple d that by writing dwn their ideas all the time. Why? 38 Yu will never knw whether ne idea in yur ntebk culd be the next revlutinary big thing.
39 Many successful peple always have praises fr their partners fr getting them where they are tday. If yur partner is nt supprtive n things yu want t achieve, cmmunicate t find ut why he/she desn't like what yu're ding.The end gal is t let yur partner knw that yu'll put all yur effrt int getting a brighter future fr bth f yu.
They have lts f fun. If fun is nt part f yur plan, yu wuld prbably lse sight f yur gals easier. 40 If yu simply d nt enjy ding what yu d, hw culd yu accmplish a tugh gal?
They read a lt.
They have extremely supprtive partners.
S what is stpping yu frm being mtivated t achieve mre?
Because they understand that ideas dn't stay lng in their heads.
Taking everything t seriusly is a sure methd fr failure.
Sn yu'll pass yur negative cmment t yur clleagues.
