9．Qigong，literally （61）called（call）"Life Energy Cultivation"in China，is a practice of focusing on breath，movement，and awareness for exercise，and healing．If you have taken Chinese lessons，you must be familiar with Confucius，according to （62）whom qigong provides a means to become a Junzi （gentleman） through awareness of morality．Taoism（道教）considers qigong to be able to provide a way to achieve spiritual improvement．Qigong is （63）traditionally（tradition） viewed as a practice to balance qi （inner life energy），which is now practiced throughout China and worldwide． （64）Asa form of gentle exercise，qigong is made up of movements that are typically repeated，（65）strengthening（strengthen） the body．From a philosophical perspective qigong （66）is believed（believe） to help develop human potential，and awaken one's"true nature"．
What makes qigong special is that it can be done lying，sitting，or standing； thus it is （67）accessible  （access） for disabled persons，seniors，and people recovering from injuries．As a healing art，qigong practitioners focus on （68）prevention（prevent） and self-healing，which has been widely used in China as part of traditional Chinese medicine，and is included in the curriculum of Chinese （69）universities（university）．Besides，qigong is practiced for self-cultivation as a means to get rid of （70）thecomplexity of the earth．

8．Environmental health is defined as the control of the factors （因素） in the environment that may have harmful effects on people's physical，mental，or social well-being （安樂）．Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment，effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance．
The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless，the distribution （分配） of safe and accessible water，and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on．
To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster，it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs．During an emergency，success largely depends on making good，rapid judgment and appropriate response measures．High-level decision makers，therefore，must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disaster's specific effects as quickly as possible．
This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes．The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency．However，each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency．In response to any given disaster，decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure．

28．Why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster？D
A．Victims may be at stake without immediate controls．
B．Victims may be at the risk of losing their properties．
C．Victims may be exposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals．
D．Victims may be threatened by environmental health problems．
29．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？A
A．Good preparation beforehand is vital．
B．Rapid judgment is quite beneficial．
C．Effective measures sound familiar．
D．Slow responses sound ineffective．
30．Whom is the book mainly written for？C
A．A research quite into environment health．
B．An organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations．
C．A possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency．
D．A holidaymaker fond of the topic of effective management．
31．What does the underlined word"priority"in Paragraph 4 refer to？B
A．Perfection．
B．Preference．
C．Possibility．
D．Popularity．

7．Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done（31）B，there are several ways to handle things．Let's take a look at them now．
（32）A．Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time．
When people try to interrupt you，have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then（33）E．It can help to eliminate（消除） future interruptions．
When you need to talk to someone，don't do it in your own office．（34）D．it's much easeier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are
If you have a door to your office，make good use of it．（35）G．If someone knocks and it's not an important matter．excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint（暗示） than when the door is closed，you're not to be disturbed．

A．If you're busy，don't feel bad about saying no．
B．When you want to avoid interruptions at work．

After the Spring Festival，there arises some hot topics，and lucky money is including as well．To collect opinions from the public，an online survey has made these days．
82% of the participants regard lucky money as one of the most important traditional custom，representing good wishes from the elderly to the new generation．Besides，lucky money is the more attractive part for children，it forms the good memory of our childhood．
The rest，however，think bad of it．For one thing，the amount is grown bigger and bigger，making it a heavy load．For another，it has been a good excuse to bribe （賄賂） people in the power，which is bad for building a healthy and harmonious society．
Personally speaking，lucky money is nothing wrong．Only when we know its meaning can you send our hearty wishes to the young．

5．On March 14 at the National Building Museum in Washington，D．C．，40 high school seniors showed off their scientific research to a crowd of more than 500 people．Positioned at their posters，the students enthusiastically described their efforts to improve flight control，study implied tendency，and track space rubbish，for just a few examples．Before the evening was over，one deserving senior received a﹩250，000top prize，and her peers went home with large scholarships，too．The students had come to Washington as finalists for the 2017Regeneron Science Talent Search，a program of Society for Science & the Public，which publishes Science News．It was their big night and a night I look forward to every year．
In many ways，attending the Science Talent Search festival is like going to the poster gathering at a scientific meeting．Anybody eager can dive in and find out something new．There are questions to ask about methods，results and applications．Certain themes emerge：Cancer treatment and machine learning appeared a few times this year．But in other ways the event is unusual．Rarely does such charm accompany scientific meetings．Science Talent Search finalists are treated like stars，with standing cheers，a balloon drop and media attention more often reserved for athletes or rock bands．Here，there's no doubt that the science kids are cool．
The event is inspiring because these teens offer hope that the future is bright for science．We live in challenging times．There's much talk about public distrust of science．Yet，deeply curious young people are still asking interesting questions about the world．They want to know how to face science's big challenges，and they want to participate in basic discovery．I went home from the festival convinced that there will always be scientists．Scientists may not always be celebrated by everyone，but the rewards that come with pursuing knowledge and the excitement of discovery will probably continue．

32．What happened to the 40teenagers on March 14？B
A．They visited the National Building Museum．
B．They were awarded for their research projects．
C．They were invited to deal with space rubbish．
D．They volunteered to collect money for the poor．

2．I was living a life in my screen and hardly noticed what（61）was （be）around me．I was always checking the time and thinking of future（62）plans  （plan）．My thought was："Who's going to text me now？What will I do next？"My bedtime routine was usually centered（63）on  one thing：my phone．（64）Before  I went to sleep，I browsed through news websites and checked my emails．When I woke up in the middle of the night．I did the some thing．The problem with this was that I felt anxious every night．
So when my friends invited me （65）to go  （go）for a long weekend camping without the cell service，I thought this was（66）exactly （exact）what I needed．Here's how（67）keeping  （keep）away from my phone for 48hours changed me and my way of life．
Without my phone，I（68）fell  （fall）asleep listening to the songs of frogs and crickets．In the  morning，I woke up energy．Sitting by the river，riding a bike，or singing the old songs，I（69）truly  （true）enjoyed what I was doing．
I felt free without my phone at weekend camp，（70）which changed me completely．I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do．

1．What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop？The products displayed（展示）at  the entrance？Or the soft background music？
But have you ever noticed the smell？Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，Via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reposed that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers'intension to purchase increased by 80percent．
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．
Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales  assistants'disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce（e-commerce）has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores（實(shí)體店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut（椰子）scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent．

32．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store？C
A．Friendly assistant．
B．Soft background music．
C．Unique scents．

20．This Monday，the nation will start to celebrate Presidents'Day，just seven days before George Washington's birthday．Everyone agrees that day is a holiday，but is it just to celebrate George Washington's Birthday？What about Abraham Lincoln？Some government offices call it Presidents'Day．Others say the holiday is officially Washington's Birthday．Confused yet？
George Washington was elected the country's first President on April 30，1789．Soon after，Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday．Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington's birth is February 11，1732．But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washington's birthday February 22，which is now well accepted．In 1879．Congress made Washington's birthday an official federal holiday．It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual's birthday．In 1968，Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act，which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February．The new law did not change the holiday's name．It was still called Washington's Birthday，even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents'Day to include Abraham Lincoln，whose actual birthday is February 12．
Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents．They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves．Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington．the country's first President．They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country．
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term"George Washington's Birthday．"but none of those laws have been passed．Meanwhile，many state governments and school districts now use the term"Presidents'Day．"Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales．
Should the holiday honor Washington，Washington and Lincoln，or all past Presidents？Write to emailbag@timeforkids．com and tell us what you think．

28．The President's Day was originally designed to honorA．
