Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone，but together，you know?” Bechtel said，looking up from her book. Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.

Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan.”

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over. Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before al the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit， whose company provided the statistics for the report.

4. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

A. Food variety.                         B. Restaurant service.

C. Table manners.                        D. Eating habits.

5. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?

A. To have some time on her own.           B. To catch up with her work.

C. To meet with her coworkers.             D. To collect data for her report.

6. What do we know about Mazoleny?

A. He makes videos for the bar.             B.  He’s familiar with the barkeeper

C. He interviews customers at the bar.        D.  He’s fond of the food at the bar.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. The stress from working overtime.        B. The importance of self-reflection.

C. The trend of having meals alone          D. The advantage of wireless technology.

Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration? Think again! Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that you’re probably totally unaware of.

Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus (真菌) , which serves the plants in many ways. Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions. Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients (养分) to and from each other. It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive.

Not only that, but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus. It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.

Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten. When sensing they are being swallowed, they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insect’s natural enemy. The enemy attacks the bug, thus saving the plants. This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.

You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock. But did you know that plants also have this clock? This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do. Is it because they can react to light at sunrise? In a study, scientists found that plants use the sugars they produce to keep time, which help to regulate the genes responsible for the plant’s own internal clock. So, in a sense, ―wake up with petunias (矮牵牛) is just as valid as ―wake up with the chickens.

Nature is full of surprises. So for those of you who didn’t know the wonders of plants, now you do.

8．How many ways does the network of fungus serve the plants?

A．Two.                            B．Three.

C．Four.                            D．Five.

9．What does the underlined words ― “your older brother” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The chemical given off by plants.     B．The insect’s natural enemy.

C．The bug attacked by the enemy.       D．The plant to be eaten by the insect.

10．What helps the plant keep time?

A．The sugars produced by itself.        B．Its own genes.

C．The time of sunrise.                D．Its response to light.

11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To show his love of different plants.

B．To share his study on some awesome plants.

C．To introduce the unknown abilities of plants.

D．To make people aware of plant protection.

 The idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.

It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.

“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.

“Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.

“2019 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.

12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?

A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly.

B. The idea of AI just came up recently.

C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.

D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.

13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?

A. Alan Turing.                      B. Georges Nahon.

C. Mark Michalski.                   D. Alejandro Troccoli.

14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?

A. Executive director of a hospital.       B. President of a research laboratory.

C. Chairman of an energy corporation.    D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper.

15. How is the passage developed?

A. By explaining cause and effect.       B. By presenting research results.

C. By listing some predictions.          D. By describing personal experiences.

Care for elders in a loving way

Caring for an elderly loved one is a wonderful way to show compassion and service, and it doesn't mean you have to sacrifice everything.    17   .Kids and marriages can be powerfully impacted by how these decisions are handled，both negatively and positively. They thoroughly think through the potential impact of moving an aging parent into the home or providing extended care. A good boundary with an aging parent is to do occasional outgoings.

Healthy families set a culture of being grateful for the things you appreciate in life, big and small. Set up a respectful space where at the end of each day, each family member share what they are grateful for.    18   ．

Keep treats out of sight (and out of mind)

What you see is what you want to eat.    19   . Put the sugary treats out of sight and leave colorful fruits and vegetables out on the counter or on the most visible shelves in the fridge so that you're more likely to reach for a nutritious snack.

   20   .

Healthy families will create a safe environment for healthy communication, where each individual feels like their feelings are acknowledged. When conflict arises, they don't have to agree with each other but they still need to acknowledge each other's feelings. They still feel their opinions are valued. They also learn tools for how conflicts can be resolved. No one shuts down, or runs away when there is disagreement. They work it out.

Everyone should go to his or her 50th high school reunion. There was a time I thought I’d never go even if the opportunity   21   . But now I feel   22  for people who don’t go.

I went to the   23  of my high school on a Saturday evening, and I am glad I did. It was a  gift to recognize some   24  classmates right away — and to be recognized.   25  , we had name tags and our   26  photos on our clothing to help identify us. I recognized one woman immediately!

The most memorable and moving experience of the night was   27  by a schoolmate and neighbor to whom I was once close. Unfortunately, we had a falling out in the high school. I never saw her after   28  , but this time, I saw her name on a place setting. At first, I feared that I would   29  her. But my better self won over, and I   30  her out. I kept looking until I got a(n)   31  on my shoulder. There she was   32  . We hugged as if nothing had ever   33  and exchanged affectionate words. When the party   34  , my old-new friend walked towards me,   35  me again and wished me well. I returned her good wishes. All the bad   36  _melted into thin air.

I am grateful I had this   37  to reunite with old classmates. After all, we are almost   38  the final lap of our lifelong journeys. Some classmates had already left this   39  , and their names were deleted from the list. Sometimes we have to walk back into the past because time does heal old wounds. We’re not the   40  people. We are better people.

I'm Li Hua, the monitor of Class One Grade Eleven. I ' m very excited about your coming to our school next term as an exchange student.

The teachers in our school are not only experienced and knowledgeable, but also patient and understanding.  Everyone in my class is active. I hope you will soon become a member of our Class.

l'm looking forward to your coming.
