A
June 18 is the birthday of my late sister, Tanya. She would have been 49 years old
this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37. Tanya died more than ten years ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into
a scar(疤痕). It's a big scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she was still here, and that she mattered.
When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you' and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll deal with the pain. But then the wounds form scars,
and we learn to live with our new skins.“How can I remember you” we ask.
So many people don't want to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.
And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Sometimes, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.
So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.
Instead, try to reassure(使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the dead person’s life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.
I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday. It makes her present, despite her reminds us all that she was here. She walked this earth. She was love, and she mattered. And on June 18, I embrace my scar.
1. What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
death of the author's sister.
B. The author's sister's birthday.

C. The “scar” in the author's heart. sister.
2. How does the author feel when people mention her sister
becomes sad about it.
B. She worries that she must defend her sister.
is happy to be reminded of her sister.
doesn't know how to deal with it.
3. What does the author advise us to do when talking to those who lost loved ones
A. Avoid talking about the person who died. B. Keep them staying with you as long as you can. C. Help them to forget their painful scars. D. Talk with them about the person who died.

History that's hard to trace
Since December, there have been tens of thousands of COVID-19 cases both in and out of China, caused by a previous virus we don't know: novel coronavirus.
It's not the first time for viruses to make headlines. Viruses have brought big trouble to humans, with their potential to cause widespread disease and death.
What are they Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms (有机物) They can infect animals and plants, making them sick. They include genetic materials like DNA and are protected by a coating of protein.
Unlike bacteria (细菌),viruses can't reproduce (繁殖)on their own. Instead, they invaded the
cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over. But the basic question is, where did
viruses first come from
Until now, we still have no clear explanation for their origin (起源). “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a virologist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don't leave fossils (化石) and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.” Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts--not only humans, but also bacteria, plants and other animals, which is a complicated task, says Nature.
However, here are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites(寄生者). Second, viruses evolved(逐渐形成) from pieces of DNA or RNA that “escaped” from larger organisms. The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells. For the time being, these are only these theories. The technology and poofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most reasonable explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.
4. What can we lean about viruses from the article
A. The mainly infect animals and plants. B. They are really small living organisms. C. They are more dangerous than bacteria.
D. They can't reproduce unless they find a host cell. 5. Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses
A. They evolved along with their host cells. B. They evolved from the DNA or RNA in animals.
C. They evolved from the fossils of large organisms. D. They evolved from parasites to independent organisms. 6. What do we learn from the article
A. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals'. B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve. C. It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses. D. The author is confident about future virus research.
C
While famous foreign architects(建筑师)are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage. Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize---which is often considered as the Nobel Prize in architecture--on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus (校园)of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and rich building types. The curves (曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming an only view. Wang collected more than 7 million gave up bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang's works show a deep understanding of modem architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance. he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Prizker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be fixed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed,\" he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.
“Today; many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on, Chinese traditions. Many people tend to(倾向于) talk about traditions without knowing
what they really are,” said Wang.
The study of traditions should be connected with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.
7. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are___________.
A. following the latest world fashion C. working harder than ever before
international recognition (认可)
on foreign architects
8. What made Wang's architectural design a success
mixture of different shapes.
balance of East and West.
harmony of old and new.
C. The use of popular techniques.
9. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang
them to the world.
B. Keep them at museums. D
Don't tell anyone: is likely a phrase you have heard before of after someone tells you
a secret. But why is it so hard not to spill the beans One Baylor College of Medicine expert explains why this is a challenge.
“Secrets often include something that someone does not take pride in. They've chosen someone to tell the secret, but don't want other people to know about it because they feel like if it gets out it could damage (破坏) their fame,” said Dr. Asim, Shah, professor in the Meninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor. “However, it can be hard for the person to keep that to themselves because it may become a burden(负担).” As soon as you tell somebody not to repeat your secret, people want to share it with somebody, Shah explained. Also most people have a confidant (知已), so when you share information with yours, keep in mind that they likely will share it with their own confidants. With secrets so often getting out, why do people share them in the first place One reason is that people often feel like it will help them keep close friendship with others, Shah said. However,connecting telling someone your secrets with how close you are to them is not always advisable. It is important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.
Another reason why people often tell a secret is that they feel guilty for keeping it, Shah example, if your friend tells you a secret but you do not share it with your close friends, you may feel guilty for not telling them. If you do not share certain things with your close family members, a sense of distrust can develop. Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.
them in practice.
C. Teach them in universities.
He added that people who are more talkative may by accident let a secret out but that does not necessarily mean it is a good idea to share secrets with someone who is quieter. If somebody is quiet and keeps everything in, it may cause them to have more stress, and finally they will talk to somebody.
If you do not want to be responsible(负责的) for keeping someone's secret, it is best to be honest and tell the the person you do not want to know his or her secret.
“If you end up accidentally sharing a secret with somebody else, it is best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret,\" Shah said.
10. What does the underlined phrase“spill the beans\" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
the secret
the challenge
D. avoid the challenge
C. keep the secret
writer wants to tell us that_____________.
persons are sure to keep the secret for you persons will by accident let out a secret has a confidant to share secrets with them could hurt our friends if we let out their secrets 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
friends should share secrets with each other. secrets will help you get the trust of someone.
C. Real friendship shouldn't be based on whether to share secrets. D. It is unnecessary to keep secrets.
13. In Shah's opinion, if your friend shares your secret with others, it is________.
A. unacceptable

Make better plans
If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You'll also know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.
Live a more active life
You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need
to be kind. “Thank you”can bring a smile to someone's face. Learn to say “sorry'” and don't be angry with others.
Find the right friend
A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.
When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results. Never fear failure
Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
