4.（填空题，8分）Chopsticks are pairs of sticks with the same length that have been used as kitchenware in most of eastern Asian regions for over three thousand years.According to the relevant historical resources,the first chopsticks were thought to appear in China over 5，000 years ago.During the Spring and Autumn Period,chopsticks made of copper and iron developed ter the chopsticks with coating came in the Han Dynasty.Then gold and silver chopsticks followed.
Different materials have been used to make chopsticks until now,among which the most expensive ones are made of elephant tusks and the green stone.Those showed how wealthy the owners were.

It's believed that using chopsticks can increase fingers' flexibility.That means if we use chopsticks frequently at dinner,it will make our fingers do everything freely.Some experts also prove that it can improve memory.Many westerners,businessmen and tourists put their knives and forks beside the bowls and plates but choose chopsticks in China.

The Truth About Lying
Is it ever better to tell a lie rather than the truth？If so,when？
Most of us are taught to believe that lying is wrong.But it seems that everybody tells lies—not big lies,but what we call "white lies".If we believe that lying is wrong.Why do we do it？Most of the time,people have very good reasons for lying.For example,they might want to protect a friendship,or someone's feelings.So,when do we lie？A recent study found that the average person lies about seven times a day.Here are some ways and reasons.
#1 Lying to hide something：People often lie because they want to hide something from someone.For example,a son doesn't tell his parents that he's dating because he doesn't think they will like her.Instead,he says he's going out with the guys.
#2 Lying to make an excuse：Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something.For example,someone invites you to a party.You think it will be boring,so you say you're busy.
#3 Lying to make someone feel good：Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good.For example,your friend cooks dinner for you.But it tastes terrible.Do you say so？No,you probably say, "Mmm,this is delicious!"
#4 Lying to avoid sharing bad news：Sometimes we don't want to tell someone bad news.For example,you have just had a very bad day at work.But you don't feel like talking about it.So if
someone asks you about your day,you just say that everything was fine.

6.（填空题，8分）Every year,runners all over the world challenge themselves in marathons—long running events that go on for tens of kilometers.On Oct.12，2019，Eliud Kipchoge ran a record-breaking marathon.He finished a 42.2-kilometer-long marathon in just 1 hour,59 minutes and 40 seconds.The 34-year-old Olympic champion from Kenya became the first person to run a marathon of this length in less than two hours.
"I can tell people that no human is limited.I expect more people all over the world to run under two hours after today," Kipchoge told NBC Sports.
Apart from Kipchoge's hard work,a few science and technology tricks also helped him make history.
Hills and turns slow runners down.Kipchoge's team picked a route in Vienna for its gentle curves（弯曲度）.The city's cool and dry weather also helped keep Kipchoge's body running more efficiently（有效地） according to Wired magazine.
A special pair of shoes also played a big part.The bottom of the shoes have a special kind of
material,which can take in a runner's energy when their feet meet the ground.Then it returns part of the energy to the runner,which helped Kipchoge run faster.
Kipchoge had a dream team of pacers（配速员）as well.Five runners formed a V-shape ahead of Kipchoge,which reduced drag（阻力）.Two runners followed directly behind to push him forward.The 41-member team took turns running every 5 kilometers.Kipchoge stayed under a two-hour pace for almost the whole race.A pace car drove in front of everyone and cast a laser beam（投射激光束）on the road,keeping the team at the right pace.
"Few world records today are technology-free," The Telegraph said.

return,they are known as a "cringe attack（羞愧综合症）".

（5）___ Well,we can start by trying to be more objective about our past selves.Consider that you are not alone in your embarrassment—everyone fails or makes silly,embarrassing mistakes.Instead of just trying to forget what we did,we should try to accept who we were at that moment and think about how we can change for the better.
