Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored

12、by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs tha

13、t speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“Theres something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique

14、 to draw her very modern characters. “Ive broken eggs at every stage of the process from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But theres an appeal in that vulnerability. “Theres part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing youre walking on the edge with this, knowing

15、 that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chasts designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, datin

16、g back to 300 BC, was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.

20、 you to go to work each morning?Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them.The students reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube

21、in a now-viral video, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and thats you.”Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the schools academy program for at-risk sophomores （二年级学生）and

22、 juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News.“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative (消极的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if theyre a good kid or a

23、 trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do

24、appreciate them, I just dont think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.Its safe to say the challenge was effective.“I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”1、What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?APre

27、y, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from

28、l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you averag

While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th centu

30、ry, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s, said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many

31、 children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in, he said. If we give children the best possible start in lif

32、e now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come.1、What can be learned from Paragraph I?AThe increase in womens height is much bigger than mens in the last century.BThe last century has seen a great increase in peoples height in most countries.CGenetics plays a key role in the i

The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the b

36、iggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the worlds great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a

37、level of “well below” 2C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5CEarths surface has already warmed by about 1C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5C would

38、 mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5CThe Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabilize at their cur

39、rent level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% cha

These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or mak

44、e payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimensio

45、n. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller printout size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, m

46、any of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customise the design of the codes accord

47、ing to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes ca

48、nnot be edited once printed. Plus, dont limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader. A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can

49、steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing cash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.1、Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?ADat
