Ifs in Peru, high in the Andes Mountains, 8, 000 feet above sea level.The village contains 200 buildings. Houses are in groups, and each house has a large courtyard inside its walls. The Incas（E力口人）used the areas outside the groups of houses to grow corn and potatoes and to raise animals. The Incas were very good at building strong walls. Visitors to Machu Picchu still cannot fit a knife between the stones of a village home.Machu Picchu seemed to be a healthy, busy village. So why was it lost? That is a mystery, but experts have some ideas. Machu Picchu was hard to reach. Few people outside the village knew about it. Experts think that many residents died of disease. Others fought a war. The survivors left the village.The tourists are good fbr Peru's economy, but they are not good for Machu Picchu. The village is old and fragile. Tourists damage the ruins. Thousands of footsteps from visitors wear down the walkways in the village. Salt and oil from people's hands damage the walls. Air pollution from buses hurts the stones. Tourists do not want to damage the village, but they want to see this beautiful, ancient place.The Peruvian government and conservation groups are trying to solve the problem. A group from the United Nations wants to limit the number of tourists each year. They also want cars and buses to use cleaner fuel.1. What crops did the Incas grow?A. Rice and beans.B. Tomatoes and peas.C. Wheat and peas.D. Potatoes and corn.2. How do we know that Incas were good at building walls?A.

A Skating RaceLast Sunday, our school held a skating race fbr teenagers titled "Build up body fbr the Winter Olympics”.At 9:00 am. many skate lovers in our school gathered on the playground to compete for their best. They moved and jumped fast and smoothly across every obstacle as if they were flying, which made all the audience applaud heatedly. The skills that they showed left a deep impression on me. In the whole competition, we were excited and energetic.The activity has made me realize that all of us should have strong bodies and we must prepare ourselves well for the coming Winter Olympics.40. Paragraph 1“But you will be a beautiful narrator,“ she said, encouraging and comforting me as usual. "You just haven91 been ready fbr the stage performance.Seeing the sadness on my face soften a little, she added, "Why not take the narrator's part as an opportunity to be familiar with the stage?” Her encouragement calmed me down gradually, and I began to accept the narrator's part was of vital significance. Soon it was the big day. At first I was still nervous, but then I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, hoping it would be my lucky charm. Paragraph 2After the play, I took home the flower. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily at me. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed."

Peter thought he didn't have enough energy left to care for another child at the moment. But the worker convinced him.The social worker arrived at his home with the boy at 6 am after driving five hours from another county. There is a huge shortage of foster families in Oklahoma so when a child enters the foster care system, social workers are often forced to place the children outside of the county of origin, often removing the child from the only place he or she has ever known. Add in the fact that older children are much more difficult to place.Peter asked why Anthony, the boy, was in foster care. Then he knew that the boy had been abandonee应弃）by his mother when he was 2.

All these can be called "always on” stress caused by smart-phone addiction.For some people, smartphones have set them free from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoringhis family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app Moment 一 to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they're spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken."Moment's goal is to promote balance in your life/5 his website explains. "Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, "The effects of this "always on' culture are that your mind is never resting, and you're not giving your body time to recover, so you're always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.''And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis （瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. "It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they9re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,“ said Dr Christine Grant.12.
