Takeover Day
Want to be a football coach, a policeman or a musician? If you could do any job for a day, what would it be? Takeover Day offers young people this chance.
Takeover Day is an event for young people to “take over” the day from adults(成年人). Of course, it’s difficult to give someone the job of a film star or a model！However, Takeover Day has offered young people jobs as news reporters, teachers and even politicians(政客).
The event serves two purposes. First, it gives young people experience in different kinds of jobs. Second, adults can learn from young people’s opinions and fresh ideas.
Here’s what the students say about their Takeover Day.
Simon 16, went to Coventry Football Club. He became coach of the football team for a day: “Having a go at training professional players was an unforgettable experience,” said Simon. “If I had the chance, I would do this job every day.”
Sally, 15, became the head teacher of her school. “I’d go mad if I were a head teacher!” she said. “So many meetings!” Sally thinks she learned a lot. “My favorite part of the day was meeting the school cook and improving the school menus for the week. It was a great chance to tell her what we really like eating!”
Paul, 17, spent the day with an important politician. He even went to a meeting at Buckingham Palace! Paul thought that if everyone had the chance to follow a politician for a day, they’d be amazed. “It isn’t a nine-to-five job. It’s 24/7,” he said “We even had no time for lunch.”

16. What may Simon choose to be in the future?
A. A model B. A politician. C. A head teacher. D. A football coach.
17. What do Sally and Paul probably think of their Takeover Day?
A. Busy but exciting. B. Peaceful but tiring. C. Amazing and relaxing. D. Easy and unforgettable.

Ludwick Marishane, a South African, was with his friends in Limpopo when they started talking about inventing something to put on your skin(皮肤) so you don’t have to take a bath. Ludwick thought that this was a great idea. He did some research on the Internet, and he found some surprising facts.
About 2,500,000,000 people around the world haven’t got clean water. This is a huge problem because dirty water can create illnesses. One of them’ is trachoma: 8,000,000 people all over the world get trachoma every year. They wash their faces with dirty water, get ill and go blind. To stop trachoma, people don’t have to receive expensive medical care. They have to wash their faces with clean water. That’s it.
Ludwick started thinking. He wanted to make something to help people in parts of the world where it’s difficult to find clean water. He did more research on the Internet, and he did more thinking. Ludwick had a plan. He wanted to make a gel（凝胶）for people to put on their skin, so they don’t have to take a bath. When he was at university, he never stopped thinking about his invention. He started to talk to other people about it, and three years later the dream came true. He made the gel and called it “Dry Bath”.
Ludwick is the winner of lots of prizes. People call him “one of the brightest young men in the world”. He is happy about his success. Dry Bath is helping people to be healthy. And Dry Bath also helps to save water. That’s important in many parts of the world, where it’s difficult to find clean water. Now he wants to invent other things and also wants to help other young people to become inventors.
19. Trachoma is a kind of illness that may make people ________.
A. feel hungry B. feel thirsty C. become blind D. become sleepy

The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health for example. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫), which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes color with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.
23. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ________ is/are the cause that makes human skin change color.
A. feelings B. pigments C. blood D. sunshine
24. According to Paragraph 3, plants can use ________ to attract insects.
A. leaves B. fruits C. pollen D. color
25. The underlined word “predators” in Paragraph 4 refers to animals which ________.
A. hide in secret places B. kill other animals for food
C. change color with the sun D. protect themselves from danger
26. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe animals’ ways of life. B. To encourage us to study color in nature.
C. To introduce the uses of colors for life on earth. D. To explain the importance of protecting our planet.

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results? Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, ________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.

A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them
C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question
29. What can we infer from thc last paragraph of this passage?
A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful
B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
30. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Are you studying the “right” way? B. How can you improve your study habits?
C. Is it possible for friends to study well together? D. What are the advantages of different study setfings?
