1． It's strange how one tiny zipper tooth can create such big problems—and such amazing resolutions.
It was Jo Du's wedding day in Ontario，Canada when the dress's zipperbroke.While everyone was struggling for some kind of tools，some of the guests walked next door to the house of Jo's neighbor David Hobson.
When they returned，they came bearing interesting news：David had taken in a family of Syrian refugees，the father of which was a master tailor who said he would be happy to help.With toolbox in hand，Ibrahim Dudu walked over and mended Jo's dress in front of an amazed wedding party.
The photographer，Lindsay Coulter，was there to witness the whole thing. "Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives，and today one man who has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to the help，" Lindsay wrote on Facebook. "I am so proud to live in Canada，a country who has opened our doors to refugees countless times.I respect the families who have welcomed these strangers in to their homes and lives，and I'm inspired by the adapt ability of the Syrian people.We are truly blessed."
The meeting was important since Jo and her husband Earl are both immigrants themselves.
Ibrahim and his family had only been in Canada for four days before the incident.Since none of them spoke a word of English，they had been communicating merely through Google Translate.
You can help support the Dudu family by donating to their crowdfunding page here.

2．The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work，making money，or traveling the world.Instead，living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing：relationships.
A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938，and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study's subjects.Over decades，the research team collected data about their lives，including their physical and mental health，marital （婚姻的） status and quality，career happiness，etc.
They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships.In other words：Finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.
The research doesn't only include romantic relationships and marriage.Quality，close relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members.The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.
However，the study only included men，and important gender differences exist in how people experience relationships.Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage.But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships；as men get older，they will more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with.So it's possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.
The findings line up with the effects of loneliness.People who are socially isolated have a greater likelihood of strokes （中风），heart attacks，and higher blood pressure，not to mention mental health issues.
Unfortunately for the youngest generations，recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations.That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.
（1）What's the moral lesson from this passage？
A．Travel far and wide to learn a lot.
B．Keep an open mind to be creative.
C．Treasure your time with your loved ones.
D．Work hard to be the best of your profession.
（2）What's the implication of Paragraph 5？
A．Women are unwilling to participate in the study.
B．Men are better at maintaining a close relationship.
C．Women are not treated equally in scientific research.
D．The findings of the study may not be true for women.
（3）Why is the youngest generation unfortunate？
A．Because they have nobody to talk to.
B．Because they are more socially isolated.
C．Because they can't keep their relationships.
D．Because they suffer physically and mentally.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Close Relationships Make a Happy Life
B．Men Look Forward to Close Relationships
C．Close Relationships Ensure People's Health
D．Men and Women Differ in Keeping Relationships组卷：1引用：6难度：0.5 -
3．In 2002，Huang Hui，a researcher of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology，went diving near Xisha.In addition to getting an irremovable suntan （晒黑），she was left with memories of a beautiful experience with clear water and abundant colorful corals （珊瑚）.However，much of the breathtaking scenery of this reef has disappeared due to climate change and human activities.All of these factors led to the decline of the coral reef in the near shore waters. "We started to cultivate corals near the Xisha Islands in 2010，and restored more than 200，000 square meters of coral reefs，" Huang said.
In 2004，when Huang was attending the 10th International Coral Reef Symposium，she found herself the only representative from the Chinese mainland.She said she felt sad but she made up her mind to strengthen communication with other countries to improve China's level and status in coral research.She visited top coral research institutes in the US and Australia，establishing long-term cooperation with some of the world's top coral researchers.By far，Huang has worked on coral research and protection for 22 years.Now，China is in a leading position in terms of technology and coral planting scale.
Huang believes that people's consciousness of coral protection matters most to the sustainable development of the coral reefs. "I want to call on more people to love nature and look at the ocean in awe，" Huang said.
Partly due to her efforts，Hainan Province released a law in 2017 banning reef exploitation（开发），trading and damaging.
Huang works as a consultant for customs and frontier police on coral protection and promotes coral protection in her local schools.Huang also provides online free training for divers to teach them proper behavior in the sea to protect coral reefs.
"A group of 'folk scientists' have also been trained with the hope that more people can gain awareness of the significance of coral reef protection and know how to protect them，" said Huang.
"I am 50，and when I become 60，I hope that not only a coral island will be built but a sustainable development pattern will also be created，" said Huang. "The ideal state is that the coral island should be able to support fishermen and preserve the ecosystem，" she added.
