Do you sometimes forget where your socks are when you wake up in the morning Can you remember what you ate for lunch a week ago You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. 31 now you should be thankful.
Scientists found that forgetting is a key part of learning. 33 useless information behind can create more space for new information, then help our brains (头脑) work 33 .
What kind of information is useless Scientists say that this may have 34 to do with the environment (环境). If the environment is 35 changing, our brains may need us to remember less, For example, a supermarket cashier (收银员) meets many people every day and will only remember them for a short time. But a designer will remember their clients (客户) 36 .
That’s because our brains 37 making new neurons (神经元) from stem cells (干细胞). There is a special area in our brains called the hippocampus (海马体). This makes it 38 for us to learn and remember. When new neurons go into the hippocampus, they renew our old memories. This could tell us clearly 39 we forget so much information about the time when we were very young.
However, being forgetful is not always good. We all need better 40 to remember things. The key part is enough sleep. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information, Matthew Walker from the University of California told the Huffington Post.

Group: Buffy, Debby, Jamie, Albert, Matt... (7) Hey, guys! I have a lot of things I don't need, so I'm thinking about having a yard sale. What do you think Having a yard sale is not easy. You have to collect things, put prices on them, put them out on tables and then wait for people to come. And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices. For all that time and work, you make very little money. Why not just sell your things online for higher prices Debby's right. But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them. I just sent out a lot of things last week. Hey, I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you pick the right day. In my experience, Saturday is the best. I agree with Albert. You can make money and meet interesting people. I made some good friends at my last yard sale.

A. Matt had yard sales before.
B. Jamie had a great yard sale last week.
C. Albert thinks weather is important for yard sales.
D. Debby thinks things are cheaper online than at yard sales.
43. What do Buffy's friends think about having a yard sale
A. Albert and Matt think it's a nice way to make friends.
B. Debby and Albert think it's difficult to make money from it.
C. Matt agrees with Jamie that it's a good chance to help people.

Now I'm going to show you how to work with chocolate. I'll do it in a “bain-marie,” or, well, some people call it “water bath.” I myself love the name “bain-marie.” To make a “bain-marie,” you need two pots, one bigger than the other. First, break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in the smaller pot. Usually when making chocolate desserts, you'll need to mix chocolate with butter and sugar. So if you do, put them in the pot too. Now, half fill the bigger pot with warm water. Put the smaller pot over the bigger one, and start to slowly mix the chocolate, the butter, and the sugar together. Keep the water under 50°, or the chocolate may lose its shine. And make sure that no water goes in the smaller pot, or the chocolate will become hard and cannot be used. Keep mixing for about five to ten minutes, and the job is done. Easy, right pots锅
44. From the reading, which picture best shows the “bain-marie" way of working with chocolate
A. B.
C. D.
45. What does them refer to (指代) in the reading？
A. Bains-marie. B. Butter and sugar.
C. Chocolate desserts. D. Small pieces of chocolate.
46. What is the last step (步骤) of making the “bain-marie”
A. Cutting chocolate. B. Filling the pot with water.
C. Mixing the “bain-marie" for a few minutes. D. Heating (加热) the water.
47. From the reading, which is true about working with chocolate
A. It is better to use a "bain-marie" than a "water bath.”
B. The water in the pot should not be warmer than 50℃.
C. It is better to finish mixing it in less than five minutes.
D. We should not mix butter and sugar together at the same time.

9 September
Today was my first Friday back at school after the summer vacation. I enjoyed the summer vacation very much. I visited many of my friends and relatives and ate lots of delicious food. I didn't enjoy school so much at first. I dislike school lunch. It is not delicious.
I spoke to a new boy called Fergus at school. We started speaking because Fergus sat next to me in our maths lesson. We both found the last problem too difficult to work out, so we tried to work it out together. When the lesson was over, we went out and had our school lunch together.
Fergus and I found out that there are lots of similarities between us:
We like Maths, but we both find maths difficult, but really have fun in English lessons.
We both got new bikes before the new school year.
Fergus likes the same music as I do. We are crazy about rock music.
Hamburgers are his favourite food, and I like them as well.
We both play baseball.
The only difference we could find is that Fergus plays first base, but I play catcher. That's good because it means we will be able to play together in the same team. Fergus is going to join our school team. He is going to play with us after school this Thursday.
I found out that he lives around the corner from my house, so we will be able to ride bikes or walk to school together. I think Fergus and I will be good friends. In fact, we are friends already.
48. What did Pandy NOT enjoy of the new term
A. School lunch. B. New friends. C. Maths D. Softball
49. What did Pandy and Fergus do when they first met
A. They discussed maths together. B. They had dinner together.
C. They rode bike to school together. D. They played softball together.
50. What is the difference between Pandy and Fergus
A. Their favourite food is different. B. They are good at different subjects.
C. They play different sports. D. They play different positions (位置) in a sports team.
51. What can be the best title of this entry of diary
A. New School B. New Sports Team
C. New Friend D. New Problem

Language and Power (权力): Cameroon’s Story
By Elisa Grant, 2 Oct
In the modern world, being able to speak English is often a way to get power. However, this is not true for English speakers in Cameroon in Africa (非洲), To know why things are different in this African country, we need to go back one hundred years.
In 1919, Kamerun (the name of Cameroon at the time) was cut into two parts: one belonged to (属于) France, and the other belonged to the UK. In 1960, the French Cameroon became the Republic of Cameroon, and the UK's part joined it in 1961. The new country changed it name to the Federal Republic of Cameroon. Both French and English are Cameroon's official languages, but only around 20％ of its people speak English. Also, the government (政府) has been in French speakers’ hands since (自从) the two parts became one country.
For a long time, Cameroon's English speakers feel they are not welcome in their own country. For example, it is very difficult for them to find jobs in the government, and they are often asked to speak French in companies and at official events (事件). They are more resentful at the government and decided to fight for themselves. A few years ago, the English speakers started to try to build their own country. In October, 2017, they said in a meeting that they were not part of Cameroon any more. They are now a new country, “Ambazonia”. When the police tried to stop the meeting, at least eight people were killed. Read more

A. Cameroon changed its name to the Republic of Cameroon.
B. The two parts of Cameroon became one.
C. The English part had an important meeting.
D. English became an official language of the country.
53. What does resentful mean in the reading
A. Excited B. Angry C. Careful D. Surprised
54. What does Cameroon's government most likely think of Ambazonia
A. It plans to treat Ambazonia as a new country.
B. It needs Ambazonia for money and help.
C. It does not want to be part of Ambazonia.
D. It does not agree that Ambazonia is a country.
55. What does Elisa Grant try to tell readers by talking about the history of Cameroon in Para 2
A. Why speaking English is a way to get power.
B. Why English speakers in Cameroon have less power.
C. Why the two parts of Cameroon became one country.
D. Why only 20% of the people in Cameroon speak English.

Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure (探险). Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.
Gregg Bleakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1, 600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and had the plan: they would travel from Alaska to Argentia by bike.
To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses so that they wouldn't spend so much. In many places along their journey, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through desert, rainforest, and mountains. They visited different places. And everywhere they went they met other cyclists from all over the world.
Two years, twelve countries, and over 30, 500 km later-Gregg finally got to the city Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America.
Gregg and Brooks kept a record (记录) of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about travelling.
Here is what Gregg advises travellers:
Travel light. The fewer things you take, the less you'll worry about.
Make flexible plans. Don't plan everything, then you'll be more relaxed and happy.
Make yourself a polite person. As one traveler told Gregg, “Always remember that nobody wants to fight, cheat, or rob a nice guy.”
