Many people say that durian (榴莲) is delicious, but you may have never seen a durian-scented (榴莲味的) candle. That’s because the fruit smells. 1
But Vincent Gomes of the University of Sydney doesn’t think so. He has a strong interest in durian. The scientist said the fruit could one day change our world.
1 He and his workmates have found out something amazing about it. They found that durian was a super-capacitor (超级电容器).
Super-capacitors, just like batteries (电池), are used to store energy. 2 They can store a greater deal of energy. They can be recharged (再充电) much more quickly. And most importantly, they have a much longer life. The lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries in our smartphones are quite different. When it is used up, the batteries become a kind of waste. 3 Scientists have been trying to make better batteries for years.
Although super-capacitors have many good points, they haven’t been widely used yet. 4 Durian, however, is much cheaper. It has given scientists hope.
A．The things needed to make them are expensive.
B．But they are better than the batteries we use today.

Life is always changing. Sometimes that’s great but at other times it can make us feel unsure and worried.
What are life changes
There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Some can be really positive (积极的) things like joining a club or making a new friend. 1 They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or a close relative getting sick. They can also be smaller ones like new plans at home or a new teacher managing your class. 2
Why is it difficult to deal with change
Emily Hanlon explains, “Our brains love patterns (模式). When something changes, people can feel like stepping into the unknown. 3 This can make us feel worried because we don’t know what to meet.” Change can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for it or if you are not in control of what is happening.
4
Yes! Life would be pretty boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things makes you find out what you like and don’t like. For example, if you don’t taste ice cream, how will you know you love it 5 Just as Hanlon says, “Change can make you full of fear, but it often leads to your new knowledge and great improvement.”
A．They can make us feel safe.
B．Can change be good for you
C．Does everybody like change

After exercising, the first thing that you want to do is to drink up a glass of cold water. 1 However (然而), you are often told not to do so. Is drinking cold water really unhealthy

1．根据“Many people say that durian (榴莲) is delicious, but you may have never seen a durian-scented (榴莲味的) candle. That’s because the fruit smells.”可知，很多人喜欢榴莲的美味，但却因它的气味太过强烈，而没有被用于制作香薰蜡烛，所以此处是与人们对榴莲的喜恶相关。选项C“这就是为什么有些人不喜欢榴莲。”符合语境。故选C。
2．根据“The scientist said the fruit could one day change our world.”及“He and his workmates have found out something amazing about it. They found that durian was a super-capacitor (超级电容器).”可知，此处讲述了榴莲在科学家眼中的价值，所以此处与科学家对榴莲的看法相关。选项G“在他眼里，榴莲不仅仅是一种水果。”符合语境。故选G。
3．根据“Super-capacitors, just like batteries (电池), are used to store energy.”及“They can store a greater deal of energy ...”可知，此处对比了超级电容器和电池，并突出超级电容器的优势，所以此处与超级电容器的优势相关。选项B“但它们比我们今天使用的电池更好。”符合语境。故选B。
4．根据“When it is used up, the batteries become a kind of waste.”以及“Scientists have been trying to make better batteries for years.”可知，电池使用完后会变成废物，科学家已尝试多年制造更好的电池，因此这里应与电池成为废物后的影响相关。选项E“这已经造成了严重的污染问题。”符合语境。故选E。
5．根据“Although super-capacitors have many good points, they haven’t been widely used yet.”及“Durian, however, is much cheaper.”可知，此处应解释未广泛使用的原因与成本有关。选项A“制造它们所需的东西很昂贵。”符合语境。故选A。

Create an interest in what they learn.
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to (注意) it for a long time.

Practise and learn from mistakes.
“Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent (发明) the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.
3
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.
