If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.

Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?

Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.

In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.

The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.

8. Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?

A．They seldom   follow the French law.

B．They often ignore the Cuianese   law.

C．They are separated   the modern world.

D．They are both Cuianese and French citizens.

9. Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiana     as       .

A．a tour guide	B．a geographer
C．a film director	D．a photographer

10. What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?

A．Cautious.	B．Doubtful.
C．Uninterested	D．Apprecitive.

11. What       does the underlined        word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The modera Frrnch       lifestyle.	B．The self-supporting hunting.
C．The uncivilized world.	D．The French Republic.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off（打瞌睡）—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety（焦虑）.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder（奶粉） made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.

Previous （以前的）studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

12. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

A．started sleep more easily	B．were more anxious
C．were less active	D．woke up later

13. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A．It’s been tested on mice for ten years.

B．It can make people more energetic.

C．It exists in milk in great amount.

D．It’s used in sleeping drugs.

14. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Night Milk and Sleep	B．Fat Sugar and Health
C．An Experiment on Mice	D．Milk Drinking and Health

15. How does the author support the theme of the text?

A．By giving examples.

B．By stating arguments.

C．By explaining statistical data.

D．By providing research results.

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries.     16     In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.

One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women.     17     Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.

    18    They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.    19    Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.    20    

A．However, women, on average, live longer.

B．The biological factor plays an important part.

C．Women are also helped by their female genes.

D．The female hormones also protect the body in another way.

E．Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.

F．Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.

G．Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control carious body functions.

Lainey finished third grade. She had good grades and could read     21           grade level, but she did not like to read. On a family car trip, her Aunt Dede pulled out a copy of Harry Potter, as a surprise for her         22    . But Lainey took one look at it,           23       her eyes, and said, “Borrrring！”

Aunt Dede, a teacher, had read the book to her students, and they loved it.         24         the youngest children in the class were           25       by the story. They         26         with great interest, and then         27         joined in grand conversations about Harry's adventures.

“How can you say it's         28    ？Have you read it？” asked Aunt Dede.

“No, it's too long and it doesn't have any         29    ，” complained Lainey.

“Oh, that's where you are           30    ； there are lots of pictures. Every page is full of pictures; you just have to read the words to           31         them. It's like magic.”

Another     33     was in order. “Well, if you don't want to read it, give it     34    . Maybe your mum would     35     hearing the story.” The book sailed through the air to Aunt Dede and she began to read it aloud.

Mom has a full-time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks. She is a great mother. Both Dad or I planned to do something on Mother’s Day. We get up early in the morning.

The dishes what I cooked were Mom’s favoritest. At dinner, we said to her, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mom was grateful and moving.
