(1)All students need to have good study habits. When you have good study habits, you learn things quickly. You also remember them easily. Do you like to study in the living room?This is not a good place because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, like your bedroom. A quite place will help you only think about one thing, and you will learn better. Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. A good desk light is important, too. You’ll feel easy if there is eno ugh light.根据短文内容，完成下列句子。

1. If you want to learn things quickly, you should _________________________.2. Living room is not a good place to study because_________________________.3. You will learn things quickly if the desk _______________.4. __________ is important for the students to study well.5. Do you have a good study habit? ______________________.(2)Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your desk mate smiles all the time?Well, your blood type (血型) may be playing a part here.Personality (个性) is about how people think, behave, and react to everything around them from day to day. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways? Part of the reason is because people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type and other things when it’s still inside its mother’s stomach. These things may help decide what the baby will be like. But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can all play a part. Does this mean it’s not possible to change? No, of course not! You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t getover-worried about your shortcomings (缺点). Just accept (接受) them. This is a good way to start making changes. If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to try to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings. Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change a lifetime of habits in one night.Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!根据短文内容，判断正(T) 误(F)。

2020年高二外研版选修八备课资料：Module 1 背景材料文章 Marco Polo

2020年精编外研版英语资料Marco PoloIn 1260, the brothers and Venetian merchants Niccolo and Matteo Polo traveled east from Europe. In 1265, they arrived at Kaifeng, the capital of Kublai Khan's (also known as the Great Khan) Mongol Empire. In 1269, the brothers returned to Europe with a request from Khan for the Pope to send one hundred missionaries to the Mongol Empire, supposedly to help convert the Mongols to Christianity. The Khan's message was ultimately relayed to the Pope but he did not send the requested missionaries.Upon arriving in Venice, Nicolo discovered that his wife had died, leaving the care of a son, Marco (born in 1254 and thus fifteen years old), in his hands. In 1271, the two brothers and Marco began to trek eastward and in 1275 met the Great Khan.Khan liked the youthful Marco and conscripted him into service for the Empire. Marco served in several high-level government positions, including as ambassador and as the governor of the city of Yangzhou. While the Great Khan enjoyed having the Polos as his subjects and diplomats, Khan eventually consented to allow them to leave the Empire, as long as they would escort a princess who was scheduled to wed a Persian king.The three Polos left the Empire in 1292 with the princess, a fleet of fourteen large boats, and 600 other passengers from a port in southern China. The armada sailed through Indonesia to Sri Lanka and India and onto its final destination at the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Supposedly, only eighteen people survived from the original 600, including the Princess who could not wed her intended fiancee because he had died, so she married his son instead.The three Polos returned to Venice and Marco joined the army to fight against the city-state of Genoa. He was captured in 1298 and imprisoned in Genoa. While in prison for two years, he dictated an account of his travels to a fellow prisoner named Rustichello. Shortly thereafter, The Travels of Marco Polo was published in French.Though Polo's book exaggerates places and cultures (and some scholars believe he never went as far east as China but only described places other travelers had been to), his book was widely published, translated into many languages, and thousands of copies were printed.Polo's book includes fanciful accounts of men with tails and cannibals seem to be around every corner. The book is somewhat a geography of Asian provinces. It is divided into chapters covering specific regions and Polo delves into the politics, agriculture, military power, economy, sexual practices, burial system, and religions of each area. Polo brought the ideas of paper currency and coal to Europe. He also included second-hand reports of areas that he had not visited, such as Japan and Madagascar.A typical passage from Travels reads:Concerning the Island of NicobarWhen you leave the island of Java and the kingdom of Lambri, you sail north about one hundred and fifty miles, and then you come to two islands, one of which is called Nicobar. On this island they have no king or chief, but live like beasts. They go all naked, both men and women, and do not use the slightest covering of any kind. They are idolaters. They decorate their houses with long pieces of silk, which they hang from rods as an ornament, regarding it as we would pearls, gems, silver, or gold. The woods are filled with valuable plants and trees, including cloves, brazil, and coconuts.There is nothing else worth relating so we will go on to the island of Andaman...The influence of Marco Polo on geographic exploration was enormous and he was also a major influence on Christopher Columbus. Columbus owned a copy of Travels and made annotations in the margins.As Polo neared death in 1324, he was asked to recant what he had written and simply said that he had not even told half of what he had witnessed. Despite the fact that many claim his book to be unreliable, it was a sort of regional geography of Asia for centuries. Even today, "his book must stand among the great records of geographic exploration."。
