Enchanted Learning
Enchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms.

There is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.
In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.
“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”
The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found no evidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.
The risks of alcohol have long been known：Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.
“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”
4. What is the function of gray matter?
A. Control the mount of alcohol
B. Process information
C. Scan the brain
D. Predict the performance on memory
5. Which is NOT true in the following statements according to the study?
A. Drinking alcohol is worse than not drinking.
B. With people getting older, brain volume reduces.
C. Alcohol was the major risk factor for disease and premature death.
D. The less people drink alcohol, the more the volume of their gray matter.
6. Which is one of the "modifiable" risk factors?
A. Smoking
B. Aging
C. Death
D. Disease
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The mount of alcohol is not related to people's health.
B. People drinking alcohol do harm to their brain health.
C. People drinking alcohol lead to dementia.
D. Theresa great deal of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for health.
C
“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.
Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.
Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.
Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.
As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be
upcycled.
8. Why does the author mention an old saying in the first paragraph?
A. To arise reader’s awareness of upcycling.
B. To stress the importance of upcycling.
C. To lead in the topic of upcycling.
D. To show the idea of upcycling.
9. Which one below belongs to upcycling?
A. An old ladder is transformed into a bookshelf.
B. Old tin cans are transported to landfill.
C. A broken wooden door is chopped up.
D. Old cloth is made into a paper bed.
10. What is the difference between recycling and upcycling?
A. Upcycling is much more creative.
B. Recycling is much easier to achieve.
C. Recycling is much more cost-saving.
D. Upcycling is much more energy-efficient.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Upcycling is popular at present.
B. Upcycling is replacing recycling.
C. Upcycling is worth recommending.
D. Upcycling is a tradition in daily life.
D
A teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of kindness.
Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home. Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.
Sutton said he’d leave school at 3:30 pm, then walk miles to his job at the restaurant. After his work, which usually lasted six to eight hours, he walked home, sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.
That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December. “The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work, saying ‘I can’t be late,’” Myers said. “He begged me to give him a ride. I told
him I could take him as far as I was going. I began to create small talk along the way. It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden, 12th grader, worked 40 hours a week, walked 5 miles to work immediately after school, got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didn’t offer a ride.”
After dropping Sutton off, Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears. “He was smiling in good spirits and that’s a child worth blessing,” she told Fox News. So, Myers shared Sutton’s story on the GoFundMe page, which raised more than $ 9, 000 from 186 donors.
She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.
12. Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?
A. To gain working experience.
B. To pay for his education.
C. To own a car.
D. To support his family.
13. What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?
A. He worked longer than other workers.
B. His work was too tiring.
C. His job was much less paid.
D. He had to walk to work.
14. What does the underlined word “revealed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Known.
B. Attached.
C. Believed.
D. Limited.
15. What do we know about the money donated online?
A. It could buy more than a new car.
B. It was not enough to buy a new car.
C. It was given to Myers to buy herself a new car.
D It mainly came from a car sales manager.

Acknowledge the emptiness. If you’re experiencing emptiness that’s more like a gaping hole, acknowledge it, and be gentle with yourself.____17____If this emptiness is because of a loved one’s passing, don’t get angry with

Joan MacDonald is 75 years old this year. She started hitting the gym on a regular basis just a few years ago at the age of 70.
Back then, Joan was out of shape and at a low point in her life. She was dealing with added pounds and a trip to the doctor only confirmed her fears that her health was on the decline. Worse still, the treatments given by her doctor weren't working well. Her blood pressure was still high, and she also had kidney (肾) problems. After a tough conversation with her daughter who is a personal trainer, Joan knew she needed to be the one to make a change. So she began to work out at once.
In January, 2017, she flew down to Mexico. There her daughter was hosting a kind of camp for women like her, who hoped to lose some weight and feel their best. It was there that she learned how to document her journey on Instagram. It was very tiring at the beginning because she had to learn the skills as well as doing something challenging with her body. She had to learn how to eat properly, how many meals to eat, and how to do her exercises, hoping that she got them done right.
It was especially difficult, because while Joan was dealing with all of the physical diseases that result from aging, she was also fighting against a generational mindset, one that didn't look at exercise and eating healthily the same way we do now.
She managed to stay active all these years by chasing after her children, taking care of her family and prioritizing everyone else's needs above her own. But when her kids grew up. Joan didn't have many hobbies that got her up and moving. Therefore, sharing her fitness photos on Instagram became that hobby.
注意：
1.写作词数应为150左右；
2.请按加下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
