Spring will soon be upon us and a new term is here. All over the world spring is the season of new life: flowers bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather becomes warmer.During this time of year, people usually walk around with a spring in their steps and a feeling of fresh beginnings.However, for a fresh beginning it takes more than the bright colors and fresh air of spring.We need to look at ourselves, set new goals, and decide how to improve ourselves.
In England,people usually do this on the first day of the year. We look at the past year and think about what we'd like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year's
resolution.These can be anything from improving one's health through exercise or giving up bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work­life balance.
Luckily, we don't have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better people.We can do this whenever we like.The milestone of a new term is just a good place to start.
Sometimes it's difficult to take the first step in achieving newly­set goals, but an old saying is "To begin is to be half­way there." I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easier.
The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic goals. If we do this, it's easy to lose heart, because the final goal seems so far away. Try to make many small goals that you want to reach on the way to your final goal. This way, you can see your progress easily. ()19.In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us that spring is a time ________.
A.to take a walk around outdoors
B.to enjoy fresh air and bright colors
C.to set goals for a fresh beginning
D.for animals to have babies
()20.According to Paragraph 4, the writer agrees with "________".
A.Be swift to hear, slow to speak
B.All that ends well is well
C.Well begun is half done
D.All roads lead to Rome
()21.What does the underlined word "daunting" probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Changeable.
B.Difficult.
C.Lovely.
D.Dangerous.
()22.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.If you see no progress, you'll be sad.
B.Whatever happens, stick to your dreams.
C.Never lose heart when meeting with difficulties.
D.Your goals should be realistic and small.
(C)
We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can't find a recycling bin anywhere.
Now a team of middle school students from the US has solved that problem by designing their Recycling Bin App (应用程序).
This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.
The group of nine sixth­graders is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as a part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provided professional app training. It gave 10 teams Samsung tablets as prizes.
The challenge wanted to develop students' interest in science, technology and engineering. In this contest, students showed an app design that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.
"We thought that this would really help a lot of people," Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time for Kids.
They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the Google Play App store for Android phones or tablets.
"I was so excited when it went up at the app store," Seralyn Blake, 12, said."A lot of my family members downloaded the app. It was pretty cool."

Trish watched as all her classmates were divided into two teams for today's lesson on basketball. Mr.Truman had named Amber and Jesse the two team captains(队长), and they were choosing their teammates by who were the best athletes. That meant Trish was left last. Her face turned red.
"Trish, you're with me,"Amber said, sounding disappointed.
Trish lowered her head and joined her team on the court. If only her classmates knew she was pretty good at basketball. Her older brother had taught her how to make a free throw, but Trish was sure no one in her class would give her a way to show it.
Once everyone was in position, Mr.Truman blew his whistle(哨子) to start the game. Jesse's team was very aggressive. They covered(防守) all the players on Amber's team, except for Trish. The girl who was supposed to cover Trish was trying to stop Amber from passing the ball.
Trish moved across the court and met Amber's eyes. She reached her hands out to show Amber she was open. Amber turned and looked for someone else to throw the ball to, but everyone was covered.
Trish lowered her arms thinking Amber was going to throw the ball away. But Amber passed the ball. Trish caught the ball and stared at it, still in shock that Amber had passed it to her.
"Shoot!" Amber yelled.
Trish threw the ball and watched as it bounced off the backboard and fell through the net. Trish's teammates cheered.
"Great shot!" Amber said, walking over to Trish.
"Thanks," Trish said. "My brother taught me how to play. We shoot baskets almost every night."
"You should come out and play with our team,"Amber said. "My friends and I play in a league(联盟) at the park every Saturday."
Trish thought about that. She thought playing basketball with the other girls would be fun. And, if she joined the basketball team, maybe she wouldn't be picked last in gym anymore.
