There are similarities and differences between high school life and college life.
For one thing, there are several similarities between high school life and collegelife. First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal to achieve.
For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore, the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.
In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, no matter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.

Did you know people who live in different parts ofChinahave different habits and preferences? For example, people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables, while people from northChinalike to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations (变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers fromChina’s BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.
They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities (免疫力) to illness and physical features.
A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.
The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. Malaria was once quite common in southernChina. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.
Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population.
8. What did the new study focus on?
A. Regions.
B. Eating habits.
C. Gene variations.
D. Ethnic minority groups.
9. What is the main function of the gene FADS2?
A. It helps store fat.
B. It helps digest meat.
C. It helps gain weight.
D. It helps treat an illness.
10. According to the study, most northerners ________.
A. sweat less frequently
B. are immune to malaria
C. prefer vegetables to meat
D. are more sensitive to climates
11. How many differences did the study find related to genes?
A. Two.
B. Three.
C. Four.
D. Five.

Getting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams, but thanks to Will Rogers, inventor and owner of WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley, Illinois, it has become a delicious reality. The Below Zero icecream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol, which allows you to turn beers, cocktails and even spirits (烈酒) into delicious soft —serve ice cream.
Rogers was trying to create a highly — caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use the same technique with alcoholic beverages. He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel. It’s this magical concoction (调制品) that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.
Even though Below Zero changes the texture (质地) of beer, cocktails and even spirits, essentially turning them into soft —serve ice cream, it does not affect the alcohol contentat all. The ABV (酒精度) remains exactly the same, which means you can get drunk on ice — cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.
Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form, but higher alcohol content drinks take longer. Essentially, the higher the alcohol level, the longer the wait.
The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons. Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.
12. What’s the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?
A. Will Rogers
B. WDS Dessert Stations
C. Hinkley
D. Below Zero
13. What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?
A. gums.
B. stabilizers.
C. NEA gel.
D. ABV.
14. What can we know from the passage?
A. The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.
B. It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.
C. The higher the alcohol level, the shorter the wait will be.
D. The machine changes the texture of beer, cocktails and even spirits.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The machine affects the alcohol content.
B. You can get drunk if you have ice—creams made from spirits.
C. The American inventor doesn’t want to sell themagical machine.
D. Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.

According to Dr. Gilovich, “We buy things to make us happy, and we succeed, but only for a while. New things are exciting to us initially, but then we adapt to them.”___17___

worst trips, on many occasions, are later committed to memory with laughter.
Materialism VS Meaningful Experiences

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Miss Robinson was the governess (家庭教师) of Mrs. Livingstone's daughters. She lived in the house like a servant. But she was intelligent and well-educated.
One evening, Mrs. Livingstone invited some friends to dinner. She asked fourteen people but one of the guests was unable to come. Thirteen is an unlucky number so she invited Miss Robinson. Miss Robinson hurried to
the jewelry shop to get her repaired string of beads for the dinner party. One of the guests was Count Borselli who knew everything about pearls and diamonds. A young lady at dinner called Miss Lyngate was wearing a string of pearls. She was very proud of her pearls and she asked Count Borselli to look at them.
"They're quite nice pearls, "said the Count.
Miss Lyngate had her nose high up in the air, announcing they cost eight thousand pounds.
"Yes, that's the correct price," said Count Borselli in an ordinary voice. And then, he pointed to the pearls on Miss Robinson's neck, "That is a very nice string of pearls." Miss Lyngate's face flushed with anger. She didn't think a governess could wear a valuable string of pearls.
"That string of pearls is worth more than fifty thousand pounds," added the Count,
Miss Lyngate did not believe Count Borselli. He was mistaken. "Miss Robinson," She said in a loud voice. "Are you wearing a very valuable string of pearls?"
All ears were cocked for Miss Robinson's reply. "1 paid Fifteen shillings for these beads, "said Miss Robinson quietly. Miss Lyngate laughed, with a proud expression on her face.
Now everyone in the room was in whisper. A governess with a string of pearls worth fifty thousand pounds? That was not possible. A woman with fifty thousand pounds was a very rich woman.
"But I bought these beads for fifteen shillings," said Miss Robinson again.
"I do not make mistakes," said the Count quietly. "I know the value of pearls."
"A thief? Stolen pearls?" screamed Mrs. Livingstone, trembling with anger.
"There must be something wrong." Miss Robinson thought.

Leaving everyone confused, Miss Robinson rushed out to the jewelry shop.
