You may feel curious about them.‎ ‎    On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.‎ ‎    Who studies hardest?‎ ‎     Chinese students spend the most time studying. Nearly half of Chinese students spend more than two hours on their homework every day. That’s much more than the US (26.496), Japan (8.2%) and South Korea (5.2%).‎ ‎    Who sleeps most often in class?‎ ‎   Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they soon doze off in class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.‎ ‎   South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), china (90%) and the US (89%).‎ ‎    Who is the most distracted (走神)?‎ ‎    American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated books in class.‎ ‎   What do they do after school?‎ ‎    In their spare time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet.

In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave.‎ ‎“The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease,” said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.‎ Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. “It’s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible,” says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “It’s unlikely that there would be many animals ‎ in there,” notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases and how to prevent them.‎ Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. “If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered.” Lipkin says.‎ ‎1.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members? A.Lacking body water B.Unbalanced nutrition C.Pain in the head and muscles D.Adequate oxygen 2.The underlined word “submerged” in paragraph 3 means ____________. A.under the water B.wild and dangerous C.with animals D.bat-associated 3.Which is true about the caves and the trapped people? A.Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in the fully-flooded cave. B.Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped. C.Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial water during the rescue. D.Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination. 4.What is the text type of the passage? A.An academic essay about ‎ bats. B.A newspaper article. C.A medical magazine. D.A Thai website about sports.‎ ‎3、    LUKLA, Nepal—Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, once negatively recognized as the “world’s highest junkyard’’,is set to become cleaner as 30,000 porters(搬运工) have been mobilized(动员)for waste collection and disposal from the mountain’s southern side. The cleanup drive was launched recently near Lukla Airport, one of the world’s most dangerous airports yet a vital gateway to the world’s highest peak.‎ ‎    “Our major task is to keep Everest, which is the pride of the world, clean. This campaign aims to transport 100 tons of nonbumable garbage from the Everest region to Kathmandu in 2018,” Ang Dorje Sherpa, chairman of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee said.‎ ‎    The SPCC,an environmental conservation organization,has made it mandatory(强制性的) since 2013 that every climber should carry down 8 kilograms of trash, but for trekkers there is no such regulation. Due to this, more than 100 tons of waste gets collected in the region annually.‎ ‎    According to Nepalese government statistics, nearly 50,000 domestic and foreign trekkers visit the Qomolangma region annually, while more than 400 mountaineers attempt to scale the peak. The collected waste mostly includes empty beer bottles and cans, oxygen bottles, tom tents and sleeping bags, food bins, and discarded mountaineering and trekking equipment. The trash was collected by local groups in more than a dozen villages while the waste was transported down the mountain in sacks (麻袋)by porters and animals. The cleanup covered settlements from up to 5,000 meters near the base camp,to Lukla Airport located at an altitude of 2,805 meters.‎ ‎    On the first day of the campaign, several tons of waste was sent off to Kathmandu from Lukla on planes belonging to Tara Airlines, one of the leading private airlines in Nepal. The airlines have set an ambitious target of flying out 100 tons of waste from the region in 2018, as a part of its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals against climate change. The company's CEO Umesh Chandra Rai said,“We hope that this campaign will help the local people to maintain a pristine (未受损害的), natural and unspoiled environment so that more trekkers will come from everywhere, making the trekking industry here more sustainable."‎ ‎1.What's the first paragraph mainly about?

And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"‎ ‎    Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharudd in Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning movie, Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》), knew the Indian slums very well.

"I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."‎ ‎    "Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.‎ ‎    In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums that are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.‎ ‎    The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.

"you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."     The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.     McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.     "I never had any bad results from customers," he said. 1.Why was McCormick sentenced to prison? A.He sold bombs. B.He caused death of people. C.He made detectors. D.He cheated in business. 2.According to the judge, what McCormick had done____.

But green sea turtles have become regular visitors to beaches found in more peaceful parts of the metropolis.‎ ‎    Over the last month, people living in Hong Kong and Hainan Province have been lucky enough to see the giant turtles lay their eggs on the beaches at night. Male turtles spend their entire lives in the sea. But every two to six years, the females swim thousands of miles from their feeding grounds to lay eggs in their own birthplaces ‎    Unluckily, few of the baby turtles survive with only one in 1,000 living into adulthood. If they manage to grow big, which takes 20 to 30 years, they can live for more than a century.‎ ‎    Man is the main reason why turtles are dying out. The creatures’ habitats are destroyed by fishing and pollution, while the turtles themselves are killed for food and leather.‎ ‎    “Sea turtle eggs and meat saved us during Japan's occupation of Hong Kong in World War II,”said 65-year-old resident Chan Kam-wan. But the days of eating turtle eggs have long since passed. Hong Kong banned the eating and sale of them in 1976, hoping to help save the endangered creatures.‎ ‎    In recent years, the government has closed beaches between June and October so the turtles can lay eggs in peace. Scientists also try and keep a count of the number of turtles, even following them using satellites. Through tracking the turtles, they hope to learn new ways of protecting them.‎ ‎    Officials in Hong Kong have recently finished a study on sea life in the area. They are considering setting up a sea park to protect the sea turtles from water pollution and illegal fishing.‎ ‎1.We can learn from the passage EXCEPT_________.‎ A.Most of the baby turtles die before growing up B.It is difficult to find wild animals in Hong Kong C.Turtles can live for more than one hundred years D.You can find some male turtles on the beaches if lucky enough ‎2.A large number of turtles were killed for food by Hong Kong residents in____________.‎ A.1976 B.1978 C.1944 D.1898‎ ‎3.What can we conclude from the passage?‎ A.The Problems that the turtles were facing have been settled. B.The government has built walls on the beaches to protect turtles. C.The government will plant many trees on the beaches to set up a park.
