The prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.
Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.
What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”
But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.
4. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?
A. The climate change.
B. Better detection.
C. More exposure to the sun.
D. The increase ofskin cancer.
5.What’s a mistake according to experts?
A. Applying sunscreen in summer.
B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.
C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.
D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Prevention is better than cure.
B. Health is better than wealth.
C. A disease known is half cured.
D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.
7. What is the best title of the text?
A. Detect Melanoma.
B. Beware Winter Rays.
C. Monitor Your Moles.
D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.

Nina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own
little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”
That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills（灌输）in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter ofBecause of Winn-Dixieby Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being achore.”
But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books（both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.
“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.
8. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?
A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.
B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.
C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.
D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.
9. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Task.
B. Process.
C. Habit.
D. Skill.
10. What can children get from Epic?
A. Free audio books.
B. Tasks on reading levels.
C. Advice from educators.
D. Useful learning resources.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A Teacher's New Reading Method
B. Pupils' love of Reading Room
C. Options of Teaching Reading
D. Easy Access to Digital Reading
D
In sportthe sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men.That at least is what people say.Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time is always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first ‘Tartan’ in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
12. Women are called the weaker sex because _________.
A. women do as much as men
B. people think women are weaker than men
C. sport is easier for men than for women
D. in sport the two sexes are always together
13. Which of the following is true?
A. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.
B Women do not run or swim in races with men.
C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.
D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.
14. The underlined part “That at least is what people say” means people _________.
A. say other things, too
B. don’t say this much
C. say this but may not think so
D. only think this
15. In this passage the author implies that _________.
A. womenare weaker than men, but faster
B. women are slower than men, but stronger
C. men are not always stronger and faster than women
D. men are faster and stronger than women

___17___When you work from home, chances are that you're going to have more control over your day than when you're office-based. So, get organized and structure your day accordingly.

Don't get distracted. You've swapped the interruptions of coworkers for many other things：pets, the fridge, the laundry, movies. Set your work hours, and focus on the work that matters in that time. You can grab a snack, pet the dog or put the washing machine on when you take a break.___19___Stay focused.
Move around your house or apartment. When I'm working with teams in workplaces, I always advocate walking around the office building or campus to stay energized, and not staying at a desk all day long. The same goes for working from home.___20___

Dear editor,
I'm written to tell you about the discussion we've had about that entrance fees should be charged for parks. There are two different opinions about a question.
60% of the students were against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be freely. People need a place to rest and enjoy them. Charging entrance fees will keep some people away. And it will become unnecessary build gates and walls, which will be harmful to the appearance of a city.
However, 40% of the students think that fees should be charged because of money is needed to pay gardeners and other worker and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, therefore, fees shouldn't be charged too high.
Yours,
