Best Smartphone Games To Put Your Brain To Test

Real Chess
Chess has been bursting brains for over 14 centuries, and this virtual variant of chess really brings a new taste. It’s a 3D virtual chess that lets you play with users from all around the world.

Juice Cubes
Juice Cubes is a light and colorful game full of fruity juice cubes that you need to connect to pop and clear levels. There are multiple types of challenges, powerups, and over 550+ levels to keep you addicted.
It might seem easy at the start, but it will burst your brain when you reach higher levels.
WordBrain 2
A really fun word game where you need to guess words based on the number of letters provided. Each word puzzle has a theme category, such as food, human body, color, or even space.
And you can also use hints to solve the level when you get stuck. Your vocabulary is sure to be challenged in it.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are such people with the name of "banana person" How strange! Are these people from "another planet （星球）" No. They are just
Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American—born--Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, a “banana person” is white inside--thinking like a Westerner and yellow
outside-looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics. But if ABC cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country, like the US, England or
Canada, but they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People's Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang （杨振宁）. He got the Noble Prize in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

The Mokoko tribe (部落) lived on the wrong side of the island of two faces. The two sides, separated by a great cliff (悬崖), were like night and day. The good side was watered by rivers and was filled with trees and abundant food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any water or plants, and wild beasts crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of having always lived there, with no way to cross to the other side. Their life was hard and they lived in permanent terror of the beasts.
Along the edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a skinny but strong tree grew, with which they could build two poles. There was no doubt that the tribe would choose the great chief and doctor to use the poles. But when the two of them were given their chance to make the jump, they didn’t dare to. They thought that the pole could break or it would not be long enough. They put so much energy into these thoughts that they gave in.
But into that tribe were born Naru and Ariki, a pair of young hearts. One day, they decided to take up the poles. Nobody stopped them, but everyone did try to discourage them, trying to present how dangerous the jumping was, using a thousand explanations.
“And what if what they say is true ” wondered the young Naru.
“Don’t worry. I am a bit scared too, but it doesn’t look so difficult,”
replied Ariki, ever determined.
“But if it goes wrong, it will be a terrible end,”
continued Naru, undecided.
“Perhaps the jump will go badly. But staying forever on this side of the island surely won’t work out well either.”
“You’re right. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
And on the next day, Naru and Ariki jumped to the good side of the island. When taking up the poles, while feeling their desire, the fear hardly allowed them to breathe. And while flying through the air, helpless and without support, they felt that something must have gone wrong and death awaited them. But when they landed on the other side, they thought the jump really hadn’t been so bad after all.
8. What situation were the Mokoko faced with
A. They lived a difficult life without fearing the beasts.
B. They suffered a lot due to the terrible environment.
C. They had easy access to the good side.
D. They were surrounded by trees and rivers.
9. How did the chief and doctor feel when they were chosen
A. Frightened. B. Energetic. C. Desperate. D. Satisfied.
10. What’s the tribe members’ reaction when Naru and Ariki decided to take up the poles
A. The members desired to follow their steps.
B. The members tried to prevent the behaviour.
C. The members convinced them of the danger.
D. The members encouraged them to have a try.
11. What can we infer about Naru and Ariki
A. They overcame difficulty with courage and determination.
B. They felt relaxed in the whole process of making the jump.
C. They never doubted the difficulty in making the jump.
D. They hesitated to make the jump over and over again.
D
It was a dark night. Thick, dark, gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moonlight to greet me as I walked out on my porch. Still, I kept the porch（走廊） light off because I didn’t want to be surrounded by bugs ( 臭虫 ) and moths ( 飞蛾 ) on this sticky summer evening. I stood there for a while letting my eyes adjust to the lack of light. My dog stood beside me waiting patiently for me to start her walk. It was then, though, that I saw them. First one blink of light at the far end of the meadow followed by another and then another. I smiled. I recognized them at once as my firefly(萤火虫) friends, who always showed up this time of the year.
I got so much joy watching them first as a child and then as an adult. They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight. When I was little I used to sit in the grass and watch them slowly fly around blinking on and off. I never caught and put one in a jar as some kids did because I never wanted to hurt these messengers of light. Their time on this earth was brief (简短) as it was. I tried to enjoy them each night they were here. It always saddened me when they disappeared in the fall and it always made my heart sing when they reappeared the next summer.
I think I enjoy these little fireflies so much because I can see that we are like them in a lot of ways. Our time here on earth is brief. Often our light and love are more like on and off blinks rather than a steady shine. Let’s share our light and love while we are there then.
12. Why did the author turn off his porch（走廊） light
A. To avoid some insects. B. To adapt to surroundings.
C. To search for his dog. D. To greet special friends.
13. What can we know about fireflies
A. They always frightened the author. B. Most kids caught and killed them.
C. The author watched them every night. D. They usually brightened the author.
14. What does the author mainly convey through the story
A. Value our short life in the world. B. Protect fireflies as well as possible.
C. Devote ourselves as much as possible. D. Share as many inspiring stories as possible.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Special Summer Night B. Messengers of Light
C. Human’s Best Friends D. Fireflies ---- Shining Forever

How to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own class.　16. 　 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
　17. 　 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触) with other people.　19. 　 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

What does “barking (犬吠) up the wrong tree” mean In this article, let’s learn the 36
( express ).
The phrase “barking up the wrong tree” means 37 ( follow ) a mistaken plan of action. The phrase comes from the old hunting ( 捕猎 ) practice in which dogs would bark to show they have made other animals up trees unable 38 ( run ) away. Sometimes the dogs were mistaken, and the animals had 39 ( actual ) run away. When this happened, the dogs were barking up the wrong tree.
This phrase first began appearing in 40 ( write ) works after the 1820s, and was later widely used by western writers. It was used to describe anyone 41 was following a wrong lead.
Below is an example of how to use the phrase. Recently 42 friend of mine needed a large amount of money 43 his new business idea. So he went to an event to meet possible investors （投资者）. However, the people he met 44 ( be ) those also looking for money. Then we can say that he was barking up the wrong tree!
