It is a strong feeling of wanting to go back to your own places very much. Some people get homesick easily while never experience it at all. Different people deal with homesickness in different ways. Some ring home and have a chat with the people who they think ‘home’ – often their mum or dad. This may be a good idea for you to feel that you are not . It reminds you that home and the people you love are still there and that you will see them soon. However, it can make the homesickness even . By talking to people from home, it can make you miss them more! It can make you want to be home even more and make you realise you miss your loved ones.

But as the days begin to shorten and the night comes earlier and earlier, the water grows colder. It drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit(华氏). Swimming is harder. Its heartbeat slows—and almost stops. The young turtle is in danger of losing its life.Ten days before Thanksgiving, Max Nolan, a ten-year-old boy, and his mother begin their patrol. The Nolans are among volunteers who walk Cape C od’s beaches during November and December to search for turtles who are often cold and trapped and seem dead—turtles whose lives they may be able to save.Max and his mother and the other volunteers do an important job. All sea turtles are threatened or en dangered. Among them Kemp’s ridleys are the most endangered. Right now on our planet there are fewer than eight thousand Kemp’s ridley turtles left.Max is far in front of his mother when he sees a turtle washed up by the surf. He runs up to it and shouts to his mom, “Got one!”The turtle is cold. Its eyes are open, but the turtle is not moving at all. It might be dead or still alive.Max remembers the instructions given to all the volunteers. He picks up the turtle, which weighs about five pounds, and moves it above the high-tide mark to keep it from washing out to sea. Then he runs to find seaweed to protect it from the wind. He finds a stick to mark where it is, and next, he and his mother go to the nearest telephone and call the sea-turtle hot line for help. 29．The young turtle is in danger of losing its life because ________.A. it has been swimming for three monthsB. it dreams of calm water and plenty of foodC. the water drops to fifty degrees FahrenheitD. the days get longer and the nights come earlier30．The underlined word “Patrol”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. swimming in the seaB. travelling to the seasideC. enjoying Thanksgiving with othersD. walking along the beaches for turtles31．In order to prevent the turtle from washing out to sea, Max ________.A. runs to find seaweedB. calls the sea-turtle hot lineC. finds a stick to mark where it isD. moves it above the high-tide markApril will bring a new product –the Apple Watch –into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price ofthe watch will differ from $349 to $1,, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend - such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch.A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in - passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight. The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and Fitbit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch.

Keira was excited because she was of West African descent. Her great-grandmother had come to the United States from Senegal, a country in West Africa. Until now, Keira hadn’t tho ught much about her roots(根源).Early the next morning, Keira looked everywhere for something to show her West African roots. She dug through every drawer, but she couldn’t find anything that really stood out. Finally, she put on a white shirt and jeans. Although she wore ordinary clothes, she hoped that her interest in her West African roots would not go unnoticed.At the community center, Keira was lucky enough to get a front-row seat. The first speaker talked about African writers and how they often use traditional stories with traditional characters, such as the Tortoise and the Spider. The speaker mentioned writers her mother and grandmother liked! Also, Tortoise was a favorite character in Keira’s bedtime stories. Finally, the speaker mentioned Doudou N’Diaye Rose. He was Keira’s favorite drummer. He was from Senegal. She began to realise just how much her West African roots influenced her American life.Finally, the storyteller came up. He told a story that explained how the chameleon, a small lizard(蜥蜴), changed its colors. Then he introduced the Spider and Tortoise. It was known that they appeared to be generous but in fact they wanted to keep everything for themselves. Some of the stories made these characters seem poor as they fought for every last piece. However, they were simply naughty(调皮的). They certainly did learn their lessons!Keira couldn’t keep her mind from thinking about all the different stories her mother had told. Her memory was pouring out again! She knew about everything the storyteller said.After the presentation, the class talked to the storyteller. Keira told about how her great-grandmother had moved to the United States from Senegal. Her great-grandmother left her village because of a famine, a time of hunger. She had explained to Keira’s grandmother that the villagers spent days begging for food. Her great-grandmother finally came to the United States. Keira told the storyteller about those of her bedtime stories.When Keira was finished, the storyteller pointed out that she had just done his job. She had described her family and the stories they told. Keira could hardly wait to tell her mother and grandmother the news!36．Keria was ________ about the presentation on the evening of the dayA. nervousB. excitedC. surprisedD. unhappy37．Keria wore ordinary clothes that day because ________.A. the clothes made her stand outB. they were her favourite clothesC. she didn’t find anything with West African rootsD. she didn’t want to show others her West African roots38．________ was a favourite character in Keria’s West African traditional stories.A.
