Do you want to study in Tsinghua(清华) University? If your answer is y

14、es, you need to be able to swim or get prepared to learn to swim from now on. Recently, the university has made a new rule that students must pass the 50-meter swimming test to finish school. This rule has been brought into a broad discussion. Some agree with it because it can help students do more

15、sports, but others disagree. They believe that it doesnt respect their personal wishes. It shouldnt be a must for graduation. Whats your opinion?_“Thomas Edison was an great inventor in the US. When he was seven, her mother caught a serious illness so she had to receive an operation（手术）in time. Howe

16、ver, the room was too dark. So Edison brought a mirror and an oil lamp to light the room. How smart he was.” This story comes from the Chinese textbook for Grade-two students in the primary school. But recently, many people believe it was not true because the first operation about that illness in th

17、e world took place in 1886. Edison reached seven years old in 1854. Some people wonder why the story appears in the textbook. Maybe thats because the editor(编辑) cares too much about the educational meaning without checking whether it was true or not.Paper books never disappear With the development o

18、f E-books, many people prefer to read on the Internet. Some experts worry that paper books may die down as time goes by. However, a recent study has shown a rising enthusiasm of paper books all over the world, especially among young people of 16 to 24. Just in last month, 7% more paper books have be

But many people just cant stop doing it: biting their nails.Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. There are also many fam

23、ous nail biters, including ex-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and American singer Britney Spears.Theres nothing wrong with biting nails to keep them tidy. But it could get out of control.Some people bite a nail not because its too long, but because they are driving, reading, feeling stressed out

24、, or just have nothing else to do.The same could happen to skin picking and hair pulling. A normal behavior could become “pathological”(病态的), as experts say.In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association labeled (把列为) nail biting as an_(OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many ti

25、mes or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.These behaviors have a lot in common. OCD is doing something normal and healthy too much, NPR reported.But nail biting is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” Carol Mathews, a psychiatris

26、t（精神病医生）at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. People with OCD dont want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they dont do something, something else thats very bad will happen to them.But nail biters enjoy it.“Its rewarding. When y

27、ou get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.Therefore some people argue that most nail biters are not having a problem as serious as a mental (心理的) disorder.But anyway, its still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it?Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding

28、 another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. Try playing with your pen instead.Besides, nail biters feel the urge (刺激，冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in g

31、d.BForce them to control the urge to bite.CKeep them busy and forget about nails.DFind some other ways to release their stress.C15、 How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? We brush our teeth every day but few people know how well were brushing. Today, a French company has introduce

32、d an electric toothbrush, which can work wirelessly（无线地）with a smartphone. Its called the Kolibree toothbrush. It has different models, and will cost from$99 to$200 .The US is the first target market.Users download an app and connect via Bluetooth, and the Kolibree will record: 1 .the time you spent

33、 brushing teeth. 2.whether all areas of your mouth are reached. 3 .whether you brush up and down instead of just side to side. Then it will send the information to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, telling you whether you have brushed in a proper way. The Kolibree records your progress and scores your b

34、rushing way to help you improve brushing habits. Its kind of like having a private dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis. The toothbrush can also talk to other apps on your phone, so developers could create a game controlled by your toothbrush. When you brush your teeth, you can

35、 score your points for beating the monsters in your teeth. Thats really very interesting. The Kolibree toothbrush is created to be smart but also fun. The Kolibree toothbrush was invented by Thomas Serval. He says the idea of inventing it came from his experience as a father. He would come home from

36、 work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They always answered yes, but Thomas used to find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided that a kind of brush was needed to tell him how well they brushed their teeth. Thomas says that one day, itll be possible to use a brushing unit with a cam

40、er there is love between my parents. Every day they dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers on Valentines Day is even more out of the question.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（被子）.“Mom, I

41、 have a question to ask you.”“What?” she replied, still doing her work.“Is there love between you and Dad?”My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes.

43、on the beautiful country road every morning. My father had never been so gentle. But after two months he still couldnt walk by himself.
