    Ken was my best friend for 30 years. I told him I would leave Chicago for Philadelphia to receive a new job there. "What do you mean you're leaving?" Ken asked angrily. "When did you interview for a job in another city? You had never told me before." I explained that was the new company's rule. "Like you couldn't tell me?" he asked. "I thought our friendship meant more to you than that." "I'm sorry," I said. But I would never give up the job because of friends.

    Ken and I had met in a church. Then Ken was a college student studying mental health and I was working in a company. I found we both grew up in small towns and struggled for school life. He often volunteered in Thailand during school holidays. And I once worked there for five years. Talking with Keri gave me great pleasure. Gradually, our conversations even involved in deeper subjects, like our dreams.

    I was older than Ken. When he married Lee, I gave him advice about marriage. By that time, I was running a television production business, and was under a lot of stress. It was Ken who encouraged me and helped me get through the hard time. He was a great guy. Even so, I didn't change my mind.

    Anyway, when leaving Chicago, Ken and Lee had a warm farewell (告别) party. But we didn't talk much later. After September 2012, everything changed. It started with a letter from Ken: Lee had cancer. Unfortunately, I got divorced (离婚) later and everything was a mess.

    In February 2013,I flew to Chicago to see Ken and Lee. We talked. I found there was no one I had ever been able to talk to quite like Ken. I needed to be there for Ken in any way I could. This friendship mattered more than work. When going back to Philadelphia, I left my job and bought a plane ticket that would mean a lot to the rest of my life.

      A . refused to travel to Philadelphia with him B . ignored his advice on the new job C . put his job above their friendship D . forgot to tell him his plan to leave

    Tropical cyclones (热带气旋), including hurricanes and typhoons, are now moving at a slower speed than they did decades ago, new research shows.

    While having a cyclone travel with less speed may seem like a good thing, it's actually just the opposite. Wind speeds within the storm remain high, but the whole system itself moves slower, allowing punishing rains to stay longer over communities. "Nothing, good comes out of a slowing storm," says James Kossin, author of the paper. "It can increase the amount of time that buildings suffered from strong wind. And it increases rainfall."

    In his paper, Kossin showed that from 1949 to 2016, tropical cyclones across the globe slowed their movement by 10 percent on average. In some regions (地区), the speed of those storms slowed even more as they hit land. In the western North Pacific, the decrease was much more manifest ― almost a third. That means a storm that may already hold more moisture (水分) will have time to drop more of it in each spot.

    Kossin's work was based on details of almost 70 years' worth of storms, but he didn't try to determine what was causing the slowdown. Still, the change is exactly what he and other cyclone experts said, which would be expected from climate change. With the polar regions warming fester than other parts of the globe, that is changing the pressure and reducing the winds that push these storms.

    Christina Patricola, a scientist, called Kossin9s work important and new and said she found it reliable. "I was not surprised by his findings," she says. "But I was surprised by the speed of the slowdown."

    Kossin hopes that scientists will begin building models that show which places are likely to face the most risk. Given that storms in some regions are moving towards polar regions and already increasing in intensity (强度), cyclones causing unusually powerful rain may threaten places not normally in their paths. Scientists must take action to make those places suffer less from the disasters.

    1. (1) Why is the decrease in cyclones' speed a bad thing? 
      A . It leads the cyclones to move faster on the ground. B . It causes the cyclones to have higher wind speed outside. C . It makes hard rains and strong wind last longer in one place. D . It results in more typhoons taking place in some communities.
    2. (2) What does the underlined word "manifest" in Paragraph 3 mean?
      A . Obvious. B . Satisfying. C . Confusing. D . Impossible.
    3. (3) What does Paragraph 4 suggest?
      A . Climate change in the polar regions is under control. B . Scientists find it hard to understand the slower cyclones. C . Scientists should do further experiments in polar regions. D . Climate change may be the cause of the slowdown of the cyclones.
    4. (4) Why does Kossin want scientists to build models in the last paragraph?
      A . To find out the normal paths of serious cyclones. B . To prove the speed of the cyclones can be controlled. C . To reduce the damage from cyclones to possible areas. D . To call on scientists to focus on the danger of climate change.

    The ancient Herculaneum scrolls (卷轴)are thought to contain works of important thinkers in ancient Greece. But the scrolls can't be unrolled (打开). Even a light wind threatens to reduce them to dust. The reason is that they were turned into carbon by a natural disaster in A.D. 79.

    But now researchers from the University of Kentucky have found a way to look inside the scrolls without having to touch them. They first create a light that is 10 billion times brighter than the sun by taking advantage of a machine. Then they will use the light to go through the Herculaneum scrolls to study and finally read the words recorded on the scrolls. Researchers think it might take them six months to read the scrolls.

    This isn't the first time researchers have tried to read the Herculaneum scrolls. Several years ago, scientists from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) worked on uncovering the mystery using an X-ray beam 100 billion times brighter than anything used in a hospital, This didn't allow scientists to actually read the scrolls, but it allowed them to make one surprising discovery. The scrolls were written in metallic (金属的) ink, a writing technology that scientists didn't know existed at the time the scrolls were penned.

    "For a long time, we thought our studies have let us know everything about the ancient ink used to write on scrolls. Now we find it's not the case. This shows that we should tell ourselves it may not be true when thinking we fully know something once some research is done," said Daniel Delattre, one of the study's authors.

    The finding wasn't just a historical curiosity. To learn just how special these scrolls are, consider that the thinker Chrysippus in ancient Greece is said to have written over 700 works; but all are lost, with the exception of a few works found in the Herculaneum scrolls. In other words, it's possible that these scrolls represent the only existing complete works left by this great thinker. And who knows what other great works could exist in the scrolls?

    1. (1) What do we know about the Herculaneum scrolls?
      A . They were damaged by people in A.D.79. B . They're impossible to read for a long time. C . They have been poorly kept in the past few years. D . They can be easily found in the libraries at present.
    2. (2) What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?
      A . The new method to read the Herculaneum scrolls. B . The reasons why scientists create a powerful light. C . The comparisons of the man-made light with the sunlight. D . The advantages of using machine to study the Herculaneum scrolls.
    3. (3) What achievement did the ESRF's scientists make?
      A . Creating a kind of ink similar to the ancient one; B . Finding more about the ancient way to record information. . C . Showing the paper material used for the Herculaneum scrolls. D . Making clear some words written in the Herculaneum scrolls.
    4. (4) Chrysippus' works are mentioned in the last paragraph to show __________.
      A . the Herculaneum scrolls are probably of great value B . the thoughts of ancient thinkers are widely spread C . the Herculaneum scrolls are recognized by different writers D . the culture of ancient Greece helps us know its situation then

    Problems between parents and children are common. Developing a better relationship with your parents involves knowing the causes of the problems and focusing on changing how you think and behave. There are some ways to help you develop a better relationship with your parents.

    Act first.  If you want to improve your relationship with your parents, you should start right away and act first.

    Be open and honest. One way to improve your relationship with your parents is to be more willing to talk to your parents about things that you care about and your feelings and views about these things. Keep in regular contact, so your parents can get a better understanding of what upsets you and what makes you happy. And it's hard for them to discuss things that can attract your interest and develop the relationship between you and themselves.

     They grow up in a different generation with different technologies and ways of thinking. Think about how these different histories may contribute to problems in your relationship. See if they can recall any problem in their relationships with their parents that is due to these generational differences. And try using this information when you talk about improving your relationship with them.

    A. Accept that your parents are different.

    B. Focus more on seeking your parents' agreement.

    C. They will likely be happy with you for these actions.

    D. There are a number of ways in which you can stay positive.

    Alexis and Zoe were sitting at the kitchen table doing their homework. They had a hard time focusing on their homework because the radio station was playing music from their favourite band, the Shape Shifters.

    "I can't believe the Shifters are going to be playing here and we can't go!" Alexis said.

    "I know," Zoe replied. "Tickets are sold out in five minutes and even if we can get some, they are so expensive!"

    "It's totally unfair," said Alexis. "They should give the tickets to their biggest fans first!"

    "You mean us, right?" Zoe said.

    "Obviously," said Alexis. "Everyone knows we're their number one fans."

    Zoe turned the radio up a bit louder. Their fevourite song was on, and the girls had an impromptu (即兴的) dance party right there in the kitchen. As it ended, they sat on their chairs again. The radio host started talking about the concert.

    "I have exciting news to share with all of you. We will give away two tickets to Saturday's sold-out show and will look for the third caller who can correctly answer this question: who is the oldest member of the Shape Shifters?" the host said.

    Alexis and Zoe looked at each other. They couldn't believe how easy the question was.

    "It's Georgie!" said Alexis.

    "No, it's Natasha," answered Zoe.

    "Everyone knows Georgie is 29. He's much older than the rest of the band," said Alexis.

    "I know he's the oldest person, but the question is who's the oldest member of the band. Natasha started the band when she was just 15. The others joined the group after her," Zoe explained.

    Alexis thought for a while and later agreed with Zoe. And they decided to call the radio station to answer that question. They stood together and held their breath.

    "Hello, girls, you are lucky caller Number 3!" The girls screamed excitedly. "Nobody seems to know the answer to our question. Do you?" the host continued. Zoe said, "We know the answer!" "I hope so. If you get it right, you'll have a chance to Saturday's sold-out show!"

    Paragraph 1

    "Okay, I am ready to answer that question," Zoe said breathlessly.

    Paragraph 2

    "Congratulations, girls! You've won two tickets to this concert!" the host shouted.
