It is a good idea to make a list before you shop for food.Some people don’t like to do so because they think it may take too much time.However,there are many reasons why you should make one before you go shopping next time.
The first reason is that a shopping list helps you save time in the store.It can help you finish your shopping faster.For example,if you write fruit and vegetables you need in one column(列)and write all kinds of meat you need in another column,you won’t need to go back and forth through the store to get everything you want.
Another reason is that a shopping list helps you not forget anything.If you make a shopping list,you will be less likely to forget important things you want to buy.In this way you will never have to waste time by going back to the store to get the things you forget to buy.
A shopping list can also help keep you from buying things you don’t need.If you make a list and stick to it,it’ll be less possible for you to buy things that you don’t really need.This will save your money and may help you buy healthier food.
So although it can take you a few minutes,writing a shopping list is worth your time.

There are no signs of little green men on Mars.But new discoveries offer a bit more hope that some forms of life existed there in the past---and perhaps is still there at present.Methane(甲烷)and water have been found on the red planet.They both show the possibility of life.
According to a new report,the Mars rover Curiosity(好奇号火星探测器)has checked some methane in the air.This kind of gas is also found in Earth’s atmosphere(大气层).It comes from animal and plant life,and from the environment itself.If there’s methane in Mar’s atmosphere,where is it from?Scientists are not sure.But it marks a big change.In September2013,Curiosity found there was almost no methane in the Martian air.Just months later,however,the rover picked up a bit of this kind of gas.
“It surprised us”,says Christopher Webster in California.He is the lead scientist for the instrument on the rover that checks methane.Webster says,“Every time we looked there was methane.But finding out what’s responsible for methane is really important.”
The discovery of water on Mars is nothing new.For about ten years,scientists have had facts that it appeared on the surface of the planet millions of years ago.But according to another new report from Curiosity,while the surface water on Mars seems to be long gone,there’s a lot more of it left than most
people realize.
But where there is(or was)water,there could be(or could have been)life.
()58.The underlined word“existed”means“________”in English.
A.changed
B.was
C.enjoyed
D.disappeared
()59.The rover has discovered________on Mars recently.
A.men
B.life
C.oil
D.methane

B.To manage the instrument on the rover.
C.To search for the methane on Mars.
D.To make sure if there is water on Mars.

B.The history of Mars
C.More hope for life on Mars
D.Chances of working on Mars

Bringing a giraffe into the world is a quite difficult thing.A baby giraffe falls10feet from its mother’s womb and usually lands on its back at birth.In seconds it turns its body over
and tried to make its legs under its body.From this position it sees the world
for the first time and shakes off the birthing fluid(液体)from its eyes and
ears.Then the mother giraffe rudely makes it learn about the world for the
first time.
In the book,A View from the Zoo,Gary Richmond describes how a baby
giraffe learns its first lesson.
The mother giraffe makes her head low enough to take a quick look at
the baby giraffe.Then she stands up over the baby.She waits for about a minute,and then she starts to kick her baby hard so that it can get up.
If it doesn’t get up,the mother giraffe repeats it over and over again.As the baby giraffe gets tired after trying many times,the mother still kicks it.Finally,the baby giraffe stands for the first time on its wobbly(不稳定的)legs.Then the mother giraffe kicks it off its feet again.Why?She wants it to remember how it gets up.In the wild,baby giraffes must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with the family group,where there is safety.Lions and other wild animals all enjoy baby giraffes and they will eat them if the mother doesn’t teach her children to get up quickly and become alert(警觉的).
()62.Why does the baby giraffe try to make legs under its body?
A.Because it can see the world easily.
B.Because it can feel comfortable.
C.Because it can touch its mother.
D.Because it can have a good rest.
()63.What does the underlined word“it”mean in the fourth paragraph?
A.Looking at the baby giraffe.
B.Kicking the baby giraffe.
C.Feeding the baby giraffe.
D.Getting up on its legs.
()64.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The baby giraffe can get up after trying three times.
B.The mother giraffe usually pushes the baby giraffe off.
C.Lions aren’t interested in giraffes.
D.The giraffes usually live in groups.
()65.Which of the following is the RIGHT order according to the passage?
①The baby giraffe stands up.
②The baby giraffe turns its body over.
③The mother giraffe kicks her baby hard.
④The mother giraffe takes a quick look at the baby giraffe.
