A
Dear Vanessa,
I have long had a bad habit of calling you my “little” sister despite the fact that there are barely two years between us, and you are now in your mid-30s. Perhaps these days calling you my younger sister is preferable. Either way, you seemed neither little nor young these last few days as you added a new, adorable member to our family.
While I must admit that watching you the other day with your naked daughter lying across your chest, you looked beatific （幸福安详的）in a way I have never seen. I want you to know that I don’t think becoming a mother has made you any more complete, fulfilled or wise, because you were all of these things before your daughter was born. I do think, however, that her arrival means that she will have the great luck of being on the receiving end of all love and thoughtfulness that have always been parts of who you are.
I know you are tired now, and will be tired for a while. I promise that I will let you talk about your tiredness as long as you would like to. I also promise that I will never give advice on how to be less tired or suggest that you look tired. Your daughter will be fine whatever you choose to do about childcare. Do what works for you, what you think is right and what makes you happy. The first year is all about survival.
Yours,
Ella

When it comes to body art, most of us think of tattoos, which are permanent pictures drawn on the body using colored ink. Tattoos are often used to show one’s skin and beliefs. However tattoos and other kinds of body art are also used for very important and ceremonial reasons.
The most widely used form of body art is henna(花染料) painting. Painting the body with henna is practiced in a number of Asian and African countries. The leaves of the henna plant are used to paint the skin a reddish-brown color .People in Morocco, a country Africa, use henna paint to protect themselves from evil spirits and prevent bad luck. In Sudan, henna represents happiness. Sudanese women paint henna on their bodies and hair to show how much they love their husbands. The more henna painting on a woman, the more she loves her husband. Men in Sudan also paint their bodies with henna leaves on their wedding day. Henna painting is an old tradition, but nowadays it is also becoming popular in some other parts of the world.
In India ,people also use henna to paint beautiful and detailed patterns on their bodies. This art form has been practiced in India for centuries ,mainly among women. It is commonly seen at Indian celebrations, and brides will have their hands and feet painted a few days before their wedding. Traditionally, the darker the paint is, the longer their love for their husband will last. The color rubs off after some time, so it is important for the women to paint themselves as dark as possible. Some young women in Western countries have become interested in it as a way to make themselves beautiful. In this way, traditional art forms become popular in modern society.
In Australia, the Aboriginals use colored clay to paint their faces and bodies for special dances and celebrations. For them, body art is an important part of celebrations. They also use body art to communicate and to express their creativity. In fact, the same kind of clay is also used to make art in caves and on rocks.
Some cultures have been practicing body art for thousands of years. Learning about these unique forms of cultural expressions is an interesting way of finding about other cultures and societies.
28.According to paragraph 1,what are Tattoos?
A. An Indian art B. A modern invention
C. A form of body art D. Permanent colored ink
29.Where do Sudanese people paint henna?
A. On their faces only B. On their hair and bodies
C. On their hair only D. On people’s bodies during dances
30.Brides in India paint their bodies___________.
A. to show their love B. to keep them safe
C. to make them popular D. to enjoy special dances
31. Which of the following statements is true?
A. In Morocco, people use henna painting to express their creativity.
B. Sudanese men and women paint themselves only before wedding day.
C. In India, people use henna to paint their bodies because it can last forever.
D. Australian Aboriginals use the same clay on their bodies and in their artwork.
D
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier:“Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still
seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”
32. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to .
A. express the author’s doubts B. tell readers how to save money
C. introduce points for discussion D. show the kindness of the cashier
33. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle
C. take more time to break down D. have less influence on forests
34. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A. shared B. given up C. discussed D. put forward
35. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?
A. Paper or cloth? B. Paper or plastic?
C. A small bag or big one? D. A new bag or your own one?

Yawn! If you often feel too tired in the mornings, even if you’re getting 8 hours in, then this article is for you. Waking up still tired is pretty common -- but that doesn’t mean it’s natural. 36 The following tips may help.

Say something you’re grateful for. This simple, short act gives us a moment to take our minds off all of our responsibilities, tasks, projects and deadlines
-- and instead give thanks for another day of life. 38

My dear students, to begin today’s class, I’d like to recommend some movies to you.
The first one is Good Will Hunting. It’s about a young man from a working-class neighborhood. He often gets into trouble. One day, he solved a math problem that the best students in a top university failed to solve. Students will be inspired to stay in school and pursue their talents.
The second is Dead Poets Society. In this movie, Robin Williams plays the role of an English teacher. He inspires several boys to love their lives. Students will become inspired to live life to the fullest and appreciate teachers who push them to succeed.
The third is The Color Purple. It is based on Alice Walker’s novel The Color Purple. This movie shows life in America’s poor south in the early 1900s. The movie tells the tale of a young African American woman’s struggle.
The last is Schindler’s List. The film follows the true story of Oscar Schindler, who saved more than 1,100 Jews during the Second World War. Students will learn more about World War II and be touched by this story.
That’s all. You can watch them in your spare time. Now turn to page 48.
