It’s 【1】 long-term question for teachers: 【2】 do you get children who hate physical activity to take part in PE lessons? A Northampton primary school believes it has the answer.【3】(Design) to make the least active pupils take an interest in their fitness, a program 【4】(introduce) at Lings Primary School recently. And not only have the pupils developed an interest in activities ranging from football to ballroom dancing, according to the school, but their school work has also improved 【5】(significant).

The students also turn up on time—Ling now has the best 【6】(attend) record in the country at 98 percent. The turnaround had been achieved by simply making PE fun. Instead of 【7】(climb) wall bars and running on the spot, the pupils practice exercises such as moving like animals. One routine involves crawling around the floor like a bear and moving around like gorillas. In 【8】, the children try to maintain their balance on the boards made of rubber, all of which stretch their muscles and improve fitness.

Baroness Campbell, who chairs the Youth Sport Trust, which designed the program, said, “We want 【9】(show)young people that physical activity is fun and a great way to learn skills which will stay with them 【10】 life.”

However, in 2018, at the edge of the cliffs, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted relatively accessible water ice that is probably at least 130metres thick and covered in just a few metres of rock and dust. These may be the best place to get the water needed for future exploration of the planet.

The drilling techniques needed have already been developed for cold areas on Earth where we need to melt buried ice for water. In the early 1960s the US Army used a type of subsurface reservoir(水庫)called Rod Well, in army camps in Greenland. The method works by drilling through the ground into the ice, melting the ice to create a pool, and then pumping water up. By supplying heat continuously, they create a reservoir and a steady water supply. It has been used in remote areas such as the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station Stephen Hoffman at the Aerospace Corporation in Texas and his colleagues simulated(模擬)how a Rod Well would do on Mars. They found that with the power of 9 kilowatts (千瓦)to melt ice, it could in theory produce about 380 litres of water each day and maintain a reservoir of constant size at the bottom of a borehole(鉆孔). That is close to the average daily water use each person in the US, but about 10 times what each astronaut on the International Space Station uses daily.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "extracting" in the first paragraph ?

A.obtainingB.protecting

C.PreventingD.choosing

【2】Why does the author mention the Rod Well in Paragraph 3?

A.To explain how water ice is drilled on Mars.

B.To tell about the history of water ice drilling techniques.

C.To prove the importance of water ice drilling techniques

D.To show techniques for drilling water wells in Martian ice exist.

【3】On average, how much water does an astronaut on the International Space Station use daily?

A.10 litresB.38 litres

C.160 litresD.380 litres

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Preparing to settle on the Red Planet one day.

B.Finding water on the Red Planet for survival.

C.Using some ways to create a livable environment on Mars.

D.Drilling water wells in Martian ice to survive on Mars.

Today, many people are worried about endangered species. But isn't it just normal for some animals to die out?

The situation today is different from 【1】 of the past. In the past, animals died out over a long period of time. When animals died out in the past, it was usually because of the weather or other 【2】 (nature) causes.

What is happening today is 【3】 ( total) different. We are killing millions of species in a short time. The result is that we are killing our future, because so many species 【4】( kill) in such a short time that even 【5】 fittest can't survive. In fact, there won't be enough species to choose from. Without enough animals and plants, evolution cannot function and nature will get 【6】( bad) instead of better.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

A nursing home is a place that offers care for the elderly and ill. As the name suggests，nursing homes have professionals including nurses, doctors and social workers to help aging adults deal with the challenges of daily life. And their mental health could be guaranteed for elderly people to get relaxed, accompanied by those of the same age. Most nursing homes also have social activities for the elderly to participate in and keep active. These activities range from games to dance classes, and movie nights. Nursing homes are supposed to provide three nutritious meals for their residents.

Nursing homes are controversial, however. There have been cases across the country of staff in nursing homes treating the elderly residents badly and even robbing them. There are different states and federal agencies that are supposed to oversee(監(jiān)管) nursing homes. Some people feel that it should be the responsibility of family members, especially adult children, to care for their aging or sick parents. However, many adult children have their own children and families to take care of, and do not have the means to care for their elderly parents; others worry about medical skills needed if their elderly parents are seriously ill. And these problems of caring for parents are bothering more and more adults in the US at present.
