When it es to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product. The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. In addition, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like youre glowing.（发光）When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically(垂直地). If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities-hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background thats too busy.You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and remove pimples (粉刺) on your face.21To get an image of high quality, you need to _.A. be under the light sourceB. be against the main lightC. face the main light sourceD. have the photo fully exposed22How can you find the angle that suits you most?A. Study your face at different angles.B. Hold the camera far enough from you.C. Keep the camera lower than your face.D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.23Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?A. The use of natural light.B. A landmark as a background.C. Changes of the skin tone.D. A busy background.BThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language and connect with family and friends.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart and kidney(肾)disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia(痴呆), a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people from 14 to 17 years old participated in it. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users.” Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldnt consume us.” For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their puters or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity.”24. Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. The train has stopped at the wrong station. B. There is something wrong with the train.C. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found. D. The train has changed its course.25. If a person suffers from Dementia, he _.A. will remember everything clearly B. will change his character C. will develop a brain cancer D. can do analysis accurately26. What is the percentage of young “heavy Internet users” with high blood pressure?A. 26%. B. 14%. C. 25%. D. 19%.27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Internet Does Harm to the Study.B. Too Much Internet May Be Bad for Teenagers.C. We Should Stop Using the Internet. D. High Blood Pressure Is around the Corner.C Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone cant make us tireIt sounds absurd(怪诞)But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳)To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain， when it is active，shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins and fatigue productsBut if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the daySo far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginningThe brain is totally tirelessSo what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue es from our mental and emotional attitudesOne of Englands most outstanding scientists，JAHadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental originIn fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare”DrBrill，a famous American scientist, goes even further，He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems” What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored，anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workersHard work by itself seldom causes fatigueWe get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body28What surprised the scientists a few years ago?AFatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers bloodBAlbert Einstein didnt feel worn after a days work.CThe brain could work for many hours without fatigue.DA mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins29According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?AChallenging mental work BUnpleasant emotionsCEndless tasks DPhysical labor30Whats the authors attitude towards the scientists idea?AHe agrees with them BHe doubts themCHe argues against them DHe hesitates to accept them31We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to_Ahave some good food Bdiscover fatigue toxinsCexercise regularly Denjoy their workDTayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy its cool: Youve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt?

Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy its cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure.
