Eric is like the king in the world of childrens books. He has written over 70 childrens books. His most famous book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on childrens bookshelves all over the world. What most people dont know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didnt know about it, because he didnt show it to the public until he was 84 years old!Like Erics childrens books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear color. He says that he loves color so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War II began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no color anywhere.At the end of the war, “when color came back”, Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more color. Color is a very important part of my work.Thats true. Eric paints bright colors on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage. In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.Erics “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colors - everything from purple to light green to orange. Now thats a lot of color!64.When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public?A. In 1929. B. In 1993.C. In 1997.D.

Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly(持续地)require our attention. We text our friends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.In the future, technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we dont pay much attention to it According to Mark, the beat technology should be invisible(隐形的)and let you live your life.We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. Do you have a smoke alarm in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you its there when youve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensors(传感器), the lights turn on. You dont think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.In the future, we can imagine our houses will use calm technology to open the curtains for us in the morning, to tum down the heat when we leave, or even to choose the best music for our mood The minute we walk through the door, our house will respond by turning on the lights and music, and perhaps even starting to prepare our dinner!68.Which of the following is an example of calm technology?A. A computer. B. A smart phone.C. A smoke alarm. D. A radio.69.What does the underlined word “interrupting mean?A. Hurting.B. Protecting.C. Helping.D. Troubling.70.Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?A.Calm technology keeps us safe in many ways.B.Calm technology can help you to do housework.C.Calm technology has been used in our daily lives.D.Calm technology plays an important part in schools.71.What can we infer from the passage?A.The light wont go on unless we touch the sensor.B.Calm technology will make our life more convenient.C.People will depend more on smart phones in the future.D.People wont have to work because of calm technology.DBeing a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You*re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure(结构)of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations(目的地). When you were a child as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brains job is to make that map more efficient.As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what youre good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them ifyou think theyre useful. Remember that with everything you do, youre shaping your brain for the future.72.What happens as children learn new things?A.Their brains make the maps more efficient.B.The structures of their brains are like big road maps.C.Their brains create more roads to different destinations.D.Many different roads lead to the most important places.73.What does the u

It seems like technology is everywhere. Computers and smart phones are at the center of almost everything we do. They constantly(持续地)require our attention. We text our friends with them during the day, sleep with them by our beds and check our messages as soon as we wake up.
In the future, technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we dont pay much attention to it According to Mark, the beat technology should be invisible(隐形的)and let you live your life.
We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. Do you have a smoke alarm in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you its there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensors(传感器), the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.
In the future, we can imagine our houses will use calm technology to open the curtains for us in the morning, to tum down the heat when we leave, or even to choose the best music for our mood The minute we walk through the door, our house will respond by turning on the lights and music, and perhaps even starting to prepare our dinner!

Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You*re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.
The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure(结构)of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations(目的地). When you were a child as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brains job is to make that map more efficient.
As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.
This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what youre good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if
you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.
