With the help of her teacher Miss Sullivan, Helen learned to write English words. It was a hard work for HelenBut she tried to remember wordsShe even wrote and published many famous works after thatBob Reading lots of books is useful tous, and my favorite book is LangTuTeng.

You might want to drink it the next morning. But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?“If you have clean water in a clean glass, youre fine to drink it for a day or two,” Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.But you may find that it tastes strange. Thats because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its pH level.Also, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature. These microorganisms can stick to your glass. They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.In countries like the US and UK, people often drink water directly from the tap . This is OK however, tap water cannot be stored for a long time. Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University, US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. Youd better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.What about plastic water bottles? Schwab said people should be careful with them. If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.42 . According to the passage,the water in the glass tastes strange after about_.A12 hoursB2 hoursCa day and a nightDtwo days43 .

Which of the following is not true?AYou may get sick more easily after you drink the water overnight.BIts not a right way to leave a bottle of water under the sun for a long time.CMany people drink water directly from the tap because of no bacteria in the running water.DKellogg Schwab advised us to drink clean water in a clean glass for a day or two.How many of us have reached into our drawer（抽屉）and pulled out socks that didnt match?Will you throw them away like most girls or try to reuse them? The story of Carly and Charley may help you.Carly and Charley are the girls who often lose their socks.At first，they just matched different colors or styles like some other girls.But most of the time， these socks couldnt match their clothes.So they came up with an idea and started Odd Sox:they collected these socks and gave them away to homeless people.But the problem wasnt solved.They still had missing socks until they realized that they could make a business out of it.So they set up Single Sox:the girls sell socks in packs（包）of three so you can mix and match as you wish.Each pack is super colorful and super inspiring（激励人心的）Carly and Charley have written words on every sock to encourage girls to celebrate their differences.And they carry on the tradition of giving backfor every pair of socks sold，they give away a pair to those in need. Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind.46 . Carly and Charley set up Odd Sox and gave away the socks to.Asick childrenBdisabled womenCpoor studentsDhomeless people47 .
