5.The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public place.The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59BC.In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published.Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609,when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620.In 1621,an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week.The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新聞).It came out in March 1702.
In 1690,Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston.But not long after it was first published,the government stopped the paper.In 1704,John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波士頓新聞通訊),the first newspaper published in the American colonies.By 1760,the colonies had mor than thirty daily newspapers.There are now about 1,800daily papers in the United States.
Today,as a group,English language newspapers have the largest circulation (發(fā)行量) in the world.But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新聞).It sells more than 11million copies every dy.

15.When a big boat,like a cruise ship,goes through the ocean,it often creates waves.This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean's surface move up and down violently.These waves move out from the boat in both directions.If you are captaining a smaller boat,you'd better steer clear of a ship's wake,so that your boat is not surfing on the waves,causing it to overturn.
A wave is a pattern of motion.When you look at a wave,it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean.In fact,this is false.The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave.While the wave itself-the pattern of motion-is moving across the surface of the ocean,the water is actually moving in a circular motion,which brings the water molecules back to their original position.The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.
If this is confusing,think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium.Viewed from a distance,the wave is clearly moving across the stadium.But the thing that makes up the wave-the people-are not moving across the stadium,they're just moving up and down in their seats.This is just like the water in an ocean wave.A lot of water is moving up and down,which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.
Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves.If you're not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing,then you can't surf.Usually,surfers gather in areas known for big waves-waves that rise high off the ocean's surface.If the wave is bigger,then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks.The height of a wave is known as its amplitude.If you could make a wave freeze,then you could measure the wave's amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean's surface to the very peak of the wave.
All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength.While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude-sometimes as small as a few centimeters-the wavelength can be very short,as lots of waves are being generated.By contrast,a tsunami has very high amplitude,sometimes more than 100 feet,but a relatively long wavelength,as it's a high wave.
Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength.For example,think back to the cruise ship.While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat,the properties of each of the waves may be very different.For example,a larger cruise ship,with powerful engines,may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength.However,if the ship's engines slow down,they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate.This would cause the waves'amplitude to decrease,but its wavelength to increase.

61.What does the phrase"steer clear of a cruise ship's wake"in the 1st paragraph mean?D
A.Keeping awake while steering a ship.
B.Getting a clear view of what is ahead.
C.Following the cruise ship very closely.
D.Keeping away from the cruise ship.
62.The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order toC.
A.illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadium
B.clear the confusion over measuring the wave's amplitude
C.explain why the water appears to move along the waves
D.demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadium
63.The last paragraph gives us the impression thatC.
A.the wave's amplitude may vary,but its wavelength remain the same
B.the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forward
C.the more powerful the ships'engines are,the higher the waves they generate
D.measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy
64.What is this passage mainly about?D
A.What makes the sea water move forwards.
B.How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea.
C.Why people create waves in the stadium.
D.How waves are created and measured.

10.Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish(遲鈍的)when it comes to remembering things.If you're worried about your forgetfulness,try out these five tips to stay sharp.
(36)AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat."If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy.But if you decide to eat fruits,vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'11 find that you're full of energy.

Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.(38)C If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks.However,if you put forth the effort into being healthy then your body will expel(釋放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.(39)FIt also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.

16.Your personal strengths are part of what makes you unique as individuals.If you are not aware of your personal strengths,however,you don't always use them as fully as possible.(36)F Therefore,it's necessary to find your personal strengths by the following suggestions.
Notice what you enjoy.The kinds of activities we like doing are often some skills we naturally enjoy.(37)B  And look at the potential elements that enrich these experiences for you.Can you see any patterns or shared skills among these things?
Ask trusted friends and family.(38)DMany of us come from culture where it's polite to be modest,and this can make it hard to identify our own strengths without any outside help.Ask trusted friend or family what they think your personal strengths are.
(39)AThe qualities you particularly like about yourself will show your personal strengths.For example,if you like the fact that you stick to your goals and see them through,one of your personal strengths might be determination.In addition,think about what you enjoy about your work and why.If you're struggling to find much that is enjoyable,consider what's missing instead.
Realize what makes you proud.Think about three instances in your life when you really felt proud of the way you acted.What was it about your action that left you feeling proud?What values did you display and why did you feel proud of the way you acted?(40)E

A.Recognize the qualities you like in yourself.
B.Take a few moments to think about the things you really love to do.
C.Look for the strengths you admire about your particular role models.
D.Sometimes it can be hard to judge our strengths with accuracy on our own.
E.Trying to answer these questions can help you find your personal strengths.
F.As a result,you probably miss out on some chances in your lives and careers.
G Look at a list of personal strengths and notice which ones stand out to you.
