My dad s side of the family took the last name of his job， butlers. My mom s side of the family took the last name of the plantation （大農场）.” Today， she and her husband， artist James Terrell， explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings recently in Manassas， Virginia is called “Born at the Bottom of the Ship”.Over the generations， Africans became African Americans with a new culture， and Nina Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture. An example is “Hope and Grace”， a painting of two women wearing colorful clothes with traditional African patterns. Pointing to their hair， she says， “They have these big afros （非洲发型） so it could be 1960， it could be 2018.”James Terrell s style is more abstract. Maim Water， the first painting visitors see in the exhibit， shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains， “Maim Water is a goddess of the sea. Theres no light going through; theres not a lot of color being seen， as opposed to the other ones. So， its just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”But he also likes to play with color. Growing up， Terrell attended a church with colored glass windows， and he learned how light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows. His works show how he sees himself as an African American. He wants the people in his painting to look happy， hopeful and strong.Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works. They like the different kinds of people in the paintings because they know many Americans come from other countries and cultures.1. What does their ancestors being re-named imply？A.

Many products we buy may cause harm to animals， the environment， or people. However， the latest diet trendpagantries to solve it and combine nutrition with ethics. “This way of eating makes the most sense for our health and the health of our planet. It is sustainable （可持续的） and kinder to animals，” Dr Mark Hyman， the creator of the trend， told The Telegraph.Pagan combines “pale” and “vegan”， two popular diets that are opposites. Vegans （纯素食主义）， like vegetarians， don t eat meat. However， they don t eat eggs， dairy， or other animal products either. Veganism is an ethical choice for people who care about the environment and the cruelty of modern animal farming. Pales， on the other hand， eat lots of meat and fruit， while avoiding grains and dairy. For pales， its about proper nutrition. They want to bring back the diet of prehistoric humans to modern society， saying that we did not evolve to eat bread and cheeses. They will order a hamburger without the bun.Both diets lack dairy products like cheese and yogurt. The rest is a compromise. About 75 percent of a pegan diet should be fruits and vegetables. It is not a bad thing because “they are rich in fiber for a healthy body and are low in calories which can help keep a healthy weight”， Dietician Chloe Hall told the Huff Post.What about meat？ In the pagan diet， meat becomes a side dish. According to the US Geological Survey， the meat for a hamburger needs more than 1，700 liters of water. So we should all eat less meat.People may have different opinions about how to eat healthily. But， as a way of life， its important to “establish routines that are simple. and livable”， a US doctor Arthur Agitation posted on social media platform Twitter.1.

When it comes， people from around the world， including 5，000 in the small town today， watch this tongue-twisting （发音饶舌的） small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave， then spring will arrive early that year. However， if it is sunny outside， the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow， hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.Of course， Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.Philips is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887， he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs. Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable， according to ABC.The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.  Each year， the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife” Phyllis.Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray's character in the classic film， Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one's routines.1.

Regrettably， mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy （发痒的） wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas， which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects， with even smaller brains， use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson's team used plumesa material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then， the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said， at first， the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2， they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs （斑点）.”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito's sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal， they also follow visual signals.5. What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets？A. Sense of smell. B. Sense of touch. C. Sense of sight. D. Smart brains.6. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is _.A. to fly to the dark ones     B. to catch and stick to themC. to take no notice of them   D. to attach themselves to them7. How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text？A. Don't let them see us.   B. Use dark objects to stop them.C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.D. Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.8. What can be the best title for the text？A. How Do Mosquitoes Survive？   B. Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood？C. How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You？D. Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being？答案A 14 CDABB 14 DCABC） 14 BDCDD） 58 ACDC学科网（北京）股份有限公司
