Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel? According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside. The best temperature for humans is about 22.2. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods. Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesnt love that? Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If its rainy, that wont necessarily make us unhappy. Well just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days.

Right, so you were driving at a speed of about 50 km/h? he asked again. I was a little annoyed because I felt he wasnt listening to me carefully. So I shouted, No! I was going about 55 km/h. OK, if thats the way you want it, the officer simply replied. Because the city speed limit is 50 km/h, I only got paid from my insurance （保险） company for the damage to my car, but the other drivers insurance company couldnt pay me due to my speed.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily. In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. Its very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. Whats more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesnt cost so much, does it? At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people dont value the bikes.

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas. Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth. However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earths water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesnt happen very often. When it does, its amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agencys Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced（弹起） away from the comets icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because_.

A.Ways of learningB.Lessons for successC.Ways of being specialD.Lessons for experiments7阅读理解 Why does the sky change colors? What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, arent they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue? We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes cant fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, well find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air. Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesnt look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day. Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! Th
