Happiness（Romance）★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people（Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy）who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances.It also has beautiful music.

In I Scream，Paul（Colin Jacks）is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died.This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. It is only for people who like thrillers.

This is a very funny war movie set in World WarⅡ. Six soldiers（including Sammy Turblow）have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. In the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.

Anybody who has a long daily commute（通勤）knows the feeling of sitting in traffic with nothing to do but wait. Now, a study suggests that long commutes can take away more than just valuable time , they also have a bad influence on your fitness and health .
Earlier research has connected longer commutes with obesity（肥胖）. But this new research is believed to be “the first study to show that long commutes can reduce exercise time ,” explained lead researcher Christine M. Hoehner of Washington University in St. Louis .
Long commutes are connected with “ higher weight , lower fitness levels and higher blood pressure, all of which are likely to lead to heart disease ,” she said . One discovery that Hoehner found a little surprising was how “ being caught in heavy traffic can lead to higher blood pressure .”
Here’s how the research was done: Scientists studied 4,297 locals from Austin, Texas . They recorded their commuting distances, body mass indices(体重指数)and blood pressure . The locals reported their physical activity for the last three months .
What did scientists learn Commuters who said they drove longer distances also reported they took part in less active physical activity. They had lower fitness levels , greater body mass indices and higher blood pressure.
Between 1960 and 2000, workers commuting in private cars jumped from 41.4 million to 112.7 million , according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. And as suburb(郊区) have spread across the nation since the 1950s, commuter miles have increased too, along with the time drivers spend sitting in the car, according to the U.S. Census Bureau .
For many commuters, moving closer to work isn’t a choice but Hoehner said there are ways that can lead to more exercise. “Commuters should find ways to work physical activity into their workdays by doing things like walking during work breaks. Employers could also help by encouraging fitness breaks.” said Hoehner .
5. What did Hoehner find
A . The longer the exercise time , the better .
B . Some diseases lead to higher blood pressure.
C . The busier the traffic, the higher the blood pressure.
D . Lower fitness levels result from heart disease .
6. How did scientists do the research
A . By doing a simple test . B . By collecting information .
C . By giving physical checks daily. D . By talking to locals face to face .
What is Hoehner trying to do in the last paragraph
A . Offer help. B . Give advice. C . Find excuses. D . Send warnings.
C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that , in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’ re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
9. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “ that” refers to ______.
A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
10. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
11. What is the main theme of the passage
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.
D
Oil and gas have made Qatar（卡塔尔) the richest country in the world--rich enough to be ready to spend $200 billion for the 2022 World Cup . But has limitless wealth brought the country happiness
“We have become urban,” says Dr Kaltham Al Ghanim a professor at Qatar University .“ Our social and economic life has changed--families have become separated ; consumption culture has taken over .”
From desperate poverty less than a century ago, this, after all, has become the richest nation in the world . What’s less well understood is the influence of such rapid change on Qatari society itself. You can feel the pressure in Doha , the capital city of Qatar . The city is a building site, with whole districts either under construction or being destroyed for redevelopment . The local media report that 40% of Qatari marriages now end in divorce . More than two - thirds of Qataris , adults and children , are overweight .
Qataris benefit from free education, free healthcare, job guarantees, even free water and electricity , but abundance has created its own problems.“ It ’s confusing for graduates to be faced with 20 job offers ,” one academic at an American university campus in Qatar says .“ People feel huge pressure to make the right decision .”
In a society where Qataris are outnumbered roughly seven-to -one by foreigners , long - term residents（居民）speak of a growing frustration among graduates that the most satisfying jobs go to foreigners .
The sense is deepening that , in the rush for development, something important has been lost. Qatari family life is atomising . With children almost universally being raised by nannies（保姆）from the Philippines , Nepal or Indonesia, differences in culture and opinions are widening between the generations .
The 2022 football World Cup was held in Qatar . Mariam Dahrouj , a journalism graduate , speaks of a sense of threat .“ People in Qatar are afraid ,” she says .“ Suddenly all the world wants to see us. We are a closed community, and they want to come and bring their differences. How can we express our values ”
12. What can we learn about Qatar
A. Its capital is neat and modern . B. It’s experiencing great changes .
C. Most Qataris are rich and healthy . D. Great wealth brings Qataris great happiness .
13. What’s young graduates ’ problem in Qatar
A. They have to work with foreigners .
B. They can hardly find an interesting job .
C. They have difficulty in making a choice .
D. They have become lazy because of abundance .
14. The underlined word “ atomising ” in Paragraph 6 probably means _______.
A. losing meaning B. gaining support
C. being improved D. becoming divided
15. Facing the outside world, Qataris________.
A. feel frightened B. express no interest
C. ignore the differences D. want to adjust their values

For better grades--use your brain !
If you’re like most students, you probably started this new school year with an air of determination to study harder. Now science can help you, Recent discoveries in brain research point to better ways to learn .
Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it, Could you remember that number five minutes later Probably not ! 16 But if you can put the phone number into long - term memory, you’ll remember that same phone number next week .
When you study, you transfer（转移）new information into long - term memory. Every time we learn some - thing new, the structure of the brain actually changes, as we build new connections to information that we already know. 17 Brain researchers have discovered three key points for better study.
18 Your brain can process, only a limited amount of information at one time , so don’t try to remember every detail. When studying a textbook, look for titles and headings to show you the main ideas .
Make the new brain connections stronger. 19 This is the most powerful way to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. Another way is drawing a picture of the information , to make the visual（视觉的）part of the brain active .
Give the new material time to soak in（渗人）--your brain has to build new physical connections . 20 And cramming（突击式学习）the night before a big test doesn’t help .
A . Try to make an effort .
B . That ’ s because it ’ s in your short - term memory .
C . We know we will need the information in the future .
D . Find the most important information and organize it .
E . One method is to recite the ideas out loud in your own words .
F . For this reason , it ’s better to study for several short periods than one long one .
G . When there are more connections to the new information , it’ s easier to find it again .

On January 5th, students in our school visited Robot World, which we saw a great many robot. It was amazing to find those robots could do a great number of things just like real people included playing chess, playing piano and drawing pictures. What’s more, the robots were in different kinds and shapes, which made us enjoyable. In addition, that excited me most was the show given by a group of robots. They danced just as if they were dancers on the stage. By visiting Robot World, I have learned a lot of about robots, especial about its functions and shapes. The great human wisdom is too powerful that it make us feel more comfortable to live in the world .

I’m so excited that our drama club won the first prize in this competition.
Participating in this club helps us to learn more about drama, and develop our self - confidence and cultural qualities as well. On the other hand, thanks to the club, I have known many friends who share the same interest with me. There we communicate and learn from each other. In addition, before the competition we kept on practicing for a long time. Luckily, our efforts paid off, which is beyond our expectation, to be honest.
Finally, I'd like to express my thanks to all of our teachers who directed us, friends who helped us, and partners who worked hard. Without you, we couldn’t have made such a great achievement. Thank you so much, again
