• 1．Every year，wildfires destroy millions of hectares （2 L） of forest land，leaving many homes damaged and a lot of people homeless.Luckily，smoke jumpers help to stop this.They are brave guardians for us.
     Smoke jumpers are a special type of firefighters.Unlike regular firefighters，they work in a different way.They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot，such as the middle of a mountain forest.They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
     At a fire site，smoke jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire.Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading or to slow its progress until full，ground-based firefighters arrive.Using basic equipment such as shovels（铁锹）and axes，smoke jumpers clear land of burnable materials，like dry grass and dead trees.They carry water with them，too，but only a limited amount.
     Although the majority of smoke jumpers are men，more women are joining now.The most important factors are your height and weight.Smoke jumpers employed in the United States for example，must be between 120 and 200 pounds （between 54 and 91 kilograms） so they don't get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land.Smoke jumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wilderness.In Russia，many smoke jumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees so that they can survive in the wild.
     The work is dangerous，and the hours are long，but for these firefighters smoke jumping isn't just an occupation（职业）.They love being able to jump out of planes，fight fires，and live in the forest.As 28-year-old Russian smoke jumper Alexi Tishin says， "This is the best job for tough guys."
  
  （1）When a smoke jumper reaches a fire site，what is the first thing he or she does？

  
  A．Studying the land.
  B．Clearing the land.
  C．Looking for water.
  D．Recording the accident.
  （2）What can be inferred about a smoke jumper according to the text？

  
  A．Smoke jumpers are paid more than regular firefighters.
  B．Smoke jumpers must learn to survive in the wilderness.
  C．Smoke jumpers appear as an occupation only in recent years.
  D．Smoke jumpers play a more important role than regular firefighters.
  （3）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．The life of a Russian smoke jumper.
  B．Why people become smoke jumpers.
  C．Interesting facts about a new occupation.
  D．Who smoke jumpers are and what they do.

"I will keep my curiosity and interests in mathematics and overcome any obstacle（障碍）in my research，" she told Chinese Business View.

• 3．The World Health Organization （WHO） recently said that it planned to add gaming disorder（游戏障碍）to its new list of disease classifications，angering the gaming industry but pleasing doctors who hope it may make treatment more easily available.
     Some US experts said it would make little difference when it comes to helping people with the disorder，although others said it would bring attention to a disorder that people sometimes don't recognize.
     Many of us enjoy video games，but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we're suffering from gaming disorder？No，according to the WHO.
     The symptoms（症状）listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming，treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities，and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have.
     "The behavior pattern is enough to result in large damage to one's personal，family，or social life." the WHO said.
     Meanwhile，Douglas Gentile of low State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people.
     "I and many others had assumed that gaming is not really a problem but is a symptom of other problems，" he told NBC News.Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.
     To see if it was，Gentile's team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years. "We found that when kids became addicted，their anxiety increased and their grades decreased，" Gentile said.When kids were able to back off from gaming，their symptoms disappeared，he added.
     Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO's suggestion.
     "This isn't an issue of opinion；it's an issue of science，" he said.
     "This is a major scientific and medical organization.They don't do things lightly and without reason.
     Dr Petros Levounis，chair of psychiatry（精神病学）at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers University，said that he hoped the WHO's suggestion would lead to more research into obsessive（过度的）behavior among all types of people.
  
  （1）Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO？

  
  A．Putting games before everything else.
  B．Playing games for several hours every night.
  C．Having no hobbies but playing games.
  D．Keeping playing until winning the games.
  （2）Why is Gentile's research mentioned？

  
  A．To explain the symptoms of gaming addiction.
  B．To show the impact of gaming disorder.
  C．To show the reasons behind the WHO's decision.
  D．To introduce the study that influenced the WHO's proposal.
  （3）What did Levounis think of the WHO's decision？

  
  A．It needed further research to make it more convincing.
  B．It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.

  （4）What's the article mainly about？

• 5．Secrets of Top Students A professor of education who has made some studies of top students said that top grades do not always go to the brightest students. （1）

  
     Top students master a few basic rules that others can also learn.Top students study anywhere or everywhere.A top student who is also a top athlete recites biology terms as he works out every day.Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth.Top students are also well organized.Top students immediately put the day's notes in different folders（文件夹）. （2）

  As a student puts it， "Better grades come from better understanding." Another technique is to do more than the homework.A student says that if her teacher gives five problems，she will undertake ten.In the student's words， "Part of learning is practicing.The more you practice，the more you learn."
     （4）

  It showed that students who discussed homework and problems together，tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored higher than those on their own.
  Last but not least，all experts and top students agree that the most important "secret" lies in the contribution by parents.They set high standards for their children and hold them to those standards. （5）

  They impress the lessons of responsibility on their children，and the children deliver.
  
  A.In other words，study time is always placed above fun.
