We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines（肠）These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.People did not know microbes had existed（存在）long. They were too small for them to see.But people did see many changes in their worldimportant changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected（感染）.They saw old plants and leaves and trees on the forest floor and disappear into the soil.Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.1. Where do microbes live?A. Only in the forest. B. Almost everywhere.C Most in very hot areas. D Most in rivers and oceans.2. Why couldn't people see microbes?A. Because they are too small.B , Because they live inside our body.C. Because they live far from humans.D. Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive.3. The underlined phrase “crumble apart” in the last paragraph means "A. grow tallerB. change into soilC. break into tiny piecesD. become colourful and energetic4. Choose the answer that completes the web below.A. Microbes are very smallB Microbes are all around usC. People can't see microbesD. Food begins to smell badB14> You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley（手推车）full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you're inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women. There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It's so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it's better to shop when it's quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意),to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.1. Supermarkets don't provide baskets because.A. supermarkets don't usually have manyB. baskets are too small to hold many productsC. it's easy to go shopping with trolleysD. a trolley can hold one or two products inside2. According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to.A make them look more beautifulB make them different from cheaper onesC. make people think the stickers are for menD. make people think they could save money3. According to the passage, toys for children are usually placedA. on higher shelves B. on each shelf C. on lower shelves D. on the back shelves4. It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usuallyA. stop people lining up at the checkouts B. close on Monday morningC. play loud and noisy music inside D. make customers feel relaxed5. The passage is mainly aboutA. several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB some advice when people go shopping on the streetC. several rules that every business should followD. some advertisements that make people buy moreC15、Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The game's popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they're lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.This might be why the UK government declared （宣布）the country's very first “Minister of Loneliness”（孤独大臣）in January. The minister's job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister's office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies （自拍）without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior （较差的）and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined （注定）to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, uNo man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent （陆地），a part of the main.” Tips to get rid of lonelinessSing your favorite songs.Connect with a friend.Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.Imagine some place you'd like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.1. What do players do while playing Travel Frog?A. Build houses for their frogs.B. Prepare food and tools for their frogs' trips.C. Choose places for their frogs to travel.D. Write postcards to their frogs.2. To deal with loneliness, the UK governmentA. designed the game Travel FrogB. created the "Minister of LonelinessC. holds parties for people to get togetherD. stopped people's use of social media3. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Everyone is connected with others.B. We should not compare ourselves to others.C. It's not fun to feel lonely.D. No one should live alone.D16、A 2-year-old boy is being described as a hero after using Face Time to save his mother after she was badly hurt.
