  Washing    There is a washing line for every flat in the garden next to the car park.Please only dry your washing on these lines so it does not disturb people at the first floor of the building.

  Cleaning    The main stairs are cleaned twice a week by the Association，so please try to keep them tidy and clean and do not leave furniture or bags on the stairs or in the hallways.

  Lights    The main lights are on a timer and they stay on for five minutes whey you press them.Please tell the Association if any lights are not working.

  Noise    Residents are asked to keep noise to a minimum.Loud music，etc.jye.ai cause trouble for other people and the Association will get in touch with you if you make too much noise.

  Safety    Make sure the main outside door is always locked and do not let anyone in to the main building unless you know who they are.Sometimes people try to get in to the main stairs and then break into flats，so do not let people in unless they are coming to see you.

  Parking    Each flat has one car parking space.These are numbered and are at the back of the building.Do not use another resident's space.If you have more.jye.ai one car you will have to park it on the road.Do not park where you are blocking entrances.

• 2．

  Dear Dad，    Today I was at the shopping center and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.But as I chose and read，and chose and read again，it seemed that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.    You'll soon be 84 years old，Dad，and you and I will have 56 Father's Days together.I didn't think that you were too old.But the sad thing happened last week.I watched as you turned at the corner in your car.I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.    Fifty years ago this spring，we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City，Iowa.This week，we'll plant carrots together again，perhaps for the last time but I hope not.I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me.Well，I don't quite know how to tell you this，Dad…I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you.    I guess what I'm trying to say，Dad，is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today.Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home money or shares a dinner.It's more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone.It's about sharing.It's about loving someone more than words can say，and I wish that it would never end. Love， Jenny

• 3．A myth is something that is not correct，but many people believe．There are a lot of myths about the human brain．
     One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains．The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains，then we'll be much smarter．People say this all the time，but it's absolutely not true!The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain，we know that each part of it has an important function（功能）．Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous（荒谬的）．
     The other most popular myth is about being" right brained"or" left brained"．According to this myth，people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative．People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science．This is as popular as the 10 percent myth，and it's also wrong．In 2013，a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth．According to the study，we use both sides of our brains equally（相等地）．
     It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things．We use our left side for language more，and our right side when we need to pay attention．But there is no evidence（证据）that creative people use the right side more of that scientific people use the left side more．
     We've talked about myths，so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain．First of all，the brain feels no pain．Second，about 75 percent of the brain is made of water．It's also the fattest organ in your body．Here's another interesting fact about the brain．Around the time you turn 18 years old，it stops growing．
  （1）The underlined word"This"in Paragraph 3 refers to

• 4．Globalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.
  Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization.Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good.Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer.These people say that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy（破坏） local businesses.However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer.They also think that it doesn't destroy local cultures.These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars.This is because countries with economic（经济的） connections will try hard to keep good relationships so that their economies aren't，destroyed.

     No one knows the future of globalization.Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people's lives in the future.
