inventions of the world,Chinas name is sure to be mentioned several times.There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese.AlcoholShocked?I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK.China had nevercrossed my mind.In China,alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belongedto the Xia Dynasty.This period was about 2000 BC-1600 BC.Research says that in ancient China,beer with 4%alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.TeaChina is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong,a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC.Tea production was rapidly developed,making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.The Mechanical ClockHave you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time?A clock really is aninvention without which things were incomplete.The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancientChina.The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty.This was during 618 and 907.Silk FabricSilk,the favorite fabric of many girls out there,is also a Chinese invention.Although we all know that silk ismade by silkworms,it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to makeclothes.The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A.people in the US like alcoholB.beer was popular in the Xia DynastyC.Yi Di and Du Kang invented alcohol by accidentD.the author didnt know alcohol is a Chinese invention2.The author asks the question in Paragraph 4 to show _.A.ancient Chinese inventors were wiserB.many things in our lives are incompleteC.ancient Chinese people never wasted timeD.the invention of the mechanical clock is important3.Which of the following invention has a longer history?A.Tea.B.Alcohol.C.Silk fabric.D.The mechanical clock.BThe measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases theneed for plastic protective equipment.Most plastic is made from fossil fuels.Millions of tons of greenhouse gasare released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome.Less than 10%of the plastic produced has been recycled.Even moreof it has been burned.But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland,and it is increasingly polluting theenvironment.We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bagsand bits for food.But microplastic is even more worrisome.Plastic doesnt break down biologically but insteadbreaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）,which have been found in every corner of theplanet,on land and in the air,in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires.Instead,they haveviewed single-use plasticwhich makes up about 40%of plastic used each yearas a litter issue that can besolved through better recycling and waste management.That attitude must change because the recent globalbreakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been,nor ever will be,able to keep upwith plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reductionit was the first state to ban single-use plasticbags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged.The state also came close to passing anact which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of75%by 2032.California,though influential,cant solve this crisis alone.The US has long been producing a greatamount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.4.Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A.To show the harm of plasticB.To warn of the climate change.C.To call for the development of fossil fuels.D.To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.5.Whats the authors attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A.Favorable.B.Tolerant.C.Curious.D.Opposed.6.Whats Californias role in reducing plastic waste?A.A pioneer.B.A failure.C.An objector.D.A predictor.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB.Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC.Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD.Global Environmental Disasters Are IncreasingCWhy can friendships be hard?Because often people arent as honest and open as they should be.Sometimes,people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things thattheir friends need.They care about their own needs much more,which makes it hard for friendships to work.However,being selfish is part of human nature.A person is put together in order to take care of himself and hisown needs,not necessarily those needs of other people.Even though being selfish is something that all humansare born with,it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the sameway as youd like to be treated.This is wonderful advice for a friendship,because it is really the only way to makesure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship.Whenever you have aquestion about how you should treat a friend,it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what youwould like your friend to do for you,if he or she is in your shoes.Even if youre always thinking about how youd like to be treated,and your friends are too,there are issuesthat come up from time to time in each friendship,and it is important to understand how to deal with these issuesso that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.Issues like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and notspending enough time with their friends,or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind areissues that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships.It is important to know how to deal withthese issues so that you can keep your friends and make new ones.No one wants to have a broken friendship.8.Why may problems with friendships appear?A.One is selfish.B.One is alone.C.One is too anxious.D.One is too busy.9.Whats the first and most important thing to be other peoples friend?A.Not to hurt your friends feelings.B.To give your friends whatever you have.C.To treat your friends as fairly as possible.D.Not to think of your own needs any more.10.What is the text mainly about?A.The Meaning of
