        We use elevators all the time, but try and imagine life without them. Tall buildings wouldn't be possible without the invention of the elevator. It's convenient and safe, but did you know that long ago people were afraid of using elevators?

        People had been using ropes to move things for thousands of years before the invention of the modern elevator. The ancient Romans moved heavy things attached (系) to ropes pulled by people or animals. Then in 1743, the French king had a "flying chair". His men lifted the king up to the second floor by using ropes. Although elevators had been improving over time, people were afraid to use them.

    People liked the idea of an elevator, but they believed it might suddenly fall.

        I n 1853, Elisha Otis invented the modern elevator. He made safety brakes (刹车) to stop the elevator from falling. Otis had been thinking about people's fear of elevators. He decided to do an elevator act at a show in 1854. Otis stood on his elevator and cut the rope that was holding it. The elevator fell, but the safety brakes suddenly stopped it. Otis amazed the audience! Three years later, customers at a department store in New York could travel to the fifth floor by using an Otis elevator.

        The next step was to improve the elevator ride. People had been feeling nervous about using elevators because they were small and noisy. In the 1920s, elevators started playing relaxing music to cover up other sounds. Then there was a great idea to put mirrors in elevators. The mirrors made the elevator seem bigger and quicker. People could check their hair instead of fearing the elevator!

        These days, elevators aren't scary. Elevators are getting faster, and office buildings, apartments and hotels are getting higher. You can find Otis elevators in most cities around the world. Remember to enjoy your ride in the elevator when you're going up to the thirty-fifth floor!

    1. (1) What is the correct order in which these happened?

      ①An Otis elevator was first put into use in New York.

      ②People used to move heavy things by pulling ropes.

      ③Otis elevators can be found in most parts of the world.

      ④Flying chair was once used to lift a king to the second floor.

      A . ②④③① B . ②④①③ C . ③①②④ D . ①②④③
    2. (2) Why did Otis do an elevator show in 1854?
      A . To tell why it takes a lot of time to develop a new thing. B . To show how safe his elevators are with the safety brakes. C . To explain why safety brakes can be well used in any show. D . To check how hard it is for people to accept something new.
    3. (3) What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
      A . Relaxing music makes the ride in the elevator seem quicker. B . The elevators are made small enough to let people feel safe. C . Mirrors are fixed inside to make the elevators look brighter. D . The noise in the elevator used to make people feel anxious.
    4. (4) What is the passage mainly about?
      A . Elevators have been developing over time. B . People used to be afraid of using elevators. C . Modern elevators were invented by accident. D . Elevators are very popular all over the world.

        As the weather changes from day to day, sometimes it's impossible to avoid catching a cold or the flu. However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies (疗法) have helped to reduce the symptom (症状) of the common cold.

        If you feel the cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you're drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger (姜) has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.

        Garlic (大蒜) is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs (细菌) when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.

        It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots (杏子) that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.

        Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexico and Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy.

    It's made from pickle vegetables, red hot sauce and sometimes garlic and ginger.

        It is common to have a cold, and Mother Nature's remedies will be there for you to lower your pain when you need to fight against that cold!

    1. (1) Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
      A . B . C . D .
    2. (2) The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refers to ____________________.
      A . the garlic B . the germ C . the cold D . the symptom

      A . people can catch a cold and the flu in many ways B . natural remedies are helpful when people catch colds C . Mother Nature's food can take the place of medicine D . natural food helps people fight against all the illnesses

    How to improve body and mind at home

        To most people, holiday is a time to stay at home and have a good rest. Thanks to social media, computer games and online TV series and movies, staying inside is great fun. But too much time on media and digital entertainment could be a heavy burden to both the mind and eyes. Here are five activities you could try to get away from the screen for a while.

        If you choose a good book, it can help you enjoy a whole day at home. The ability of your brain to process words could be greatly improved through reading. And your vocabulary could be enlarged as well. Personally, paper copies are suggested. The touch and smell of real paper has no digital replacement.

        Everyone can write something, even if it may look very ugly at first. But the point of such practice is not to write beautiful characters. It's about improving your ability to calm down and focus, as you must breathe deeply to keep your hands from shaking when practicing handwriting.

        You can just pick up a brush and draw anything, either nearby or something you imagine. Copying paintings is one nice beginning option. Copies of the Dunhuang Mogao grottoes are a good choice.

        Chopin, Mozart, Bach. Any of these great musicians could attract you with their works of art. Even if you prefer pop music, give classical music a chance.

        Many Chinese people, especially women, are crazy for yoga. Now it is a good time to practice yoga every day to relax your body. Likewise, you can try tai chi, which can improve both mind and body.

    A. Read books, or at least listen to them.

    B. Just listen, and let your brain and ears take a break.

    C. You don't have to be professional before picking up a brush.

    D. While improving your mind, your body should also be cared for.

    E. Drawing is natural pleasure that has a long history and it is still fun.

    F. There are online audio lessons to help you learn a musical instrument.
