Monsoon Storms（季风风暴） A south-west monsoon has caused great damage（破坏） in parts of Sri Lanka（斯里兰卡）. Government weather report experts said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the southern part of the earth at about 100km/h, producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged.

It might be strange to wear clothes made of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these.
The fashion company of Alia Juma's showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing kinds from the collection were made of recycled plastic bottles. "We realized that billions of water bottles are thrown into oceans every year and it would take hundreds of years to break down. We should use them to improve the environment," said Alia Juma, the company's designer. "Five bottles can make a shirt, 10 a dress, and 20 a short coat."
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted（熔化） and shaped into small balls. Then the balls are melted again to form threads（线）. People can then use the threads to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to produce 1 ton of threads. This cuts down carbon emissions（碳排放） by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making threads.
Some people might have wondered about wearing something made of plastic bottles. But in fact, clothes made of plastics can be even better than those made from common materials. Plastic threads can also be made into different materials, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation（创新） may lead to a greener future of fashion.

A. In order to protect our earth.
B. In order to make more money.
C. In order to recycle plastic bottles.
D. In order to make clothes-making more fashionable.
5. What does the underlined words "break down" mean

6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. The ways to save our planet.
B. The process of making plastic clothes.
C. The companies of making plastic clothes.
D. The kinds of clothes-making with plastic bottles.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph

B. People don't like the clothes made of plastics.
C. The future of plastic clothes making is cheaper.
D. Plastic clothes may replace the clothes made from other materials.

Can we improve our memory
We've all been there-staring at a book, hoping that what we study will stick in our mind. Many of us have probably wondered, "Is there any way to improve memory " So, why don't we look at what memory experts say about this
Every student knows that it's helpful to review what they've studied before. According to experts, we can learn things better if we wait for some time before trying to study them again. They say that trying to get something back from your memory after you have had some time to forget it. 12
Similarly, studies have shown that taking some time just to do nothing after studying might mean that you can remember things better afterwards. 13 Bu t some think it has to do with the relationship between long-term（长期的） and short -term memory.
14 This can help you make connections between different ideas. Now, connecting them to each other or to images is often considered a good way to remember something. Former world memory champion Jonathan Hancock says picturing pieces of information in different ways or connecting them to memorable images makes them easier to remember.
15 Hancock says that being generally organized makes things easier for your brain. So, the good news to take from this is that while it may be hard, improving our memory is something we can control.
A. It is not clear why this happens. B. There are also more things that we can do to improve our memory. C. Why are some people good at remembering D. Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study. E. In this way, that will make it easier to remember in the future.

六、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。
Have you ever noticed that many people have purple marks on their shoulders, backs, even necks. These marks were the result of "cupping therapy（拔火罐治疗）" a traditional Chinese medical practice that started more than 2,000 years ago.
Many people said that they had benefited（受益） from the therapy. In traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is said to open up the pores （毛孔） and help the flow of blood and energy through your body. It also helps people to reduce headache and muscle（肌肉） pain, especially when they get hurt in sports.
Cupping leaves round purple marks on the skin. These marks can remain for two to three weeks. It's necessary to notice that cupping shouldn't be done on areas where the skin is broken. You shouldn't get cupping treatments when you have a high fever. Children, older people and people with certain diseases are among those who shouldn't have cupping. If you want to try cupping, talk to your doctor about your health conditions first. Remember that cupping is just a complementary treatment. Don't expect it to take the place of medical treatments in hospitals.
Generally speaking, cupping is considered as a safe method when it's performed correctly. However, glass cups and fire aren't the safest materials to work with. Because of that, some people began to use plastic cups with a pump（泵） instead.
The question of how cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. But the treatment is rather safe and it could be helpful for many people, and the therapy can be used as part of a whole treatment program including other exercises, food choices and lifestyle changing.

Life is full of unexpected
Last weekend, I decided to visit my aunt.
When I got to the train station, I realized that I had left my mobile phone at home. It was not a good start, was it Then I checked the time table and found I had made a big mistake. My train had already left five minutes ago. I was so worried that I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a policeman saw me stand there helplessly and asked me what had happened. I told him that I missed my train. To my surprise, he told me that the train didn't leave because it broke down. It would leave in ten minutes. I had enough time to catch it.
Life is really full of the unexpected.
