Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don’t like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey(调查) in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. Firstly, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鲜的) air. And air is the freshest early in the morning. Besides(此外), it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form(形成) the habit(习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb(谚语) says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”We may read this passage in a _______ magazine.
| A．health | B．sports | C．music | D．travel |
Early rising people are _______ than late rising people.
| A．fatter | B．thinner | C．healthier | D．cleverer |
Air is the freshest ______ according to the passage.
| A．in the morning | B．in the afternoon | C．in the evening | D．all day |

| A．People can get ready for their work. |
| B．People can get fresh air. |
| C．People can learn things more quickly and better. |
| D．People can have enough food for breakfast. |
If a man always likes to get up late, it’s ___ for him to form the habit of getting up early.
| A．easy | B．difficult | C．happy | D．sad |
In many countries around the world，May 1 stis a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers' Day．It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs．But do you know how it started？
During the late 1880s， in many parts of the world．people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories，but made very little money．Later，in the United States and Canada，working people got together to set up unions（工会）．The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries（工资），but many of the bosses ▲．
On May 1 st，1886，men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets．They walked through cities and towns to forcebosses to let them work eight hours a day． In the city of Chicago，several people died in fighting with the police．Over the next few years， people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1 stto honor workers everywhere． By the early twentieth century， the first of May became a national holiday in many countries．
However， in the United States and Canada， May 1 stis not a holiday． North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September． Today in the United States， Labor Day is mostly about having fun． People enjoy a long weekend and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family． In many parts of the United States， Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation， and students return to school the next day．

"Every worker coming to Beijing has their own reasons．No one lives here without a dream，"said Chen Jianguo，a 35﹣year﹣old food deliveryman（送餐员）from a small city called Songyuan．
Chen Jianguo dreamed of having his own business in Beijing about 16 years ago when he graduated from senior high school．but his father asked him to take his place as a truck driver at the oil field．Although Chen disliked the job，he didn't want to let his father down．He took the job as a truck driver． Then he got married and had a son．
"I got quite good pay， but life was boring there during those years． Most of the time I had nothing to do， because the trucks were not often used，"said Chen．
Two months ago， Chen decided to give up his job and come to Beijing． His wife agreed that he should go for his dream．
Chen has been a food deliveryman for a month． He works 15 hours every day and hardly has time for lunch at noon． Chen spends only 10 yuan on each meal to cut the cost of living in Beijing．"I want to give a better life to my wife and little son，"he said．"I must work harder and try to become the best food deliveryman at my station．"Chen likes his job because he can meet many different people．Every"thank you"from a customer is like praise for his work．
Chen plans to start his own restaurant in the future，so he always writes down what food people have ordered．In this way，he gets a better knowledge of people's tastes．

There are many kinds of music in the world，such as pop music，country music，rock music and so on．But have you heard of grime？It's OK to say no because it's less than 20 years since this kind of music was invented in the UK．
Hip﹣hop and grime are both noisy．They reflect the thoughts of young people．But if you know nothing about underground music culture，it's difficult to tell the differences between them．For example，grime singers sing with strong accents（口音），giving a special feeling to their songs．
Leshurr，known as the"Grime Queen"，said that she once tied to hide her accent，for she didn't want people to know where she was from．But one day，she realized she didn't need to change herself just to satisfy other people．There is no doubt that this is the spirit of grime：always be yourself．
There is one more difference between hip﹣hop and grime．Hip﹣hop is mainly about being rich and famous while grime singers pay more attention to social problems like wars and illnesses．
Nowadays，grime has begun to show people its strange beauty．Although grime is only popular with some young people，one thing is for sure：in grime，singers always stay true to themselves．
根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）．
（1）Grime was invented in the UK more than 20 years ago．
（2）Both grime and hip﹣hop reflect the thoughts of young people．
（3）Leshurr's decision to be herself shows the spirit of grime．

Have you noticed the waste bins（垃圾桶）in different colors on the street？Do you often put all the waste in the same bin？It's reported by Changchun Daily that people must do waste sorting（分类）in most places in Changchun at the end of 2019．Waste sorting is a wonderful way to make good use of energy and protect the environment．But do you know how to sort the waste？
Usually，people should sort their waste into four groups；wet，recyclable，harmful and dry．Different kinds of waste should go into different bins．Wet waste means the hings you don't want but pigs can eat，mostly coming from your kitchen．Things that can be used again，such as paper，metal and glass，are recyclable waste．Harmful waste might be dangerous or cause serious pollution，like medicine and batteries（电池）．And any waste that's not wet，recyclable or harmful will go into the dry waste bin．
Different countries are trying different methods to sot the waste．A university in England has invented a smart bin．When people drop their waste into the bin．It can tell what kind of waste it is and sort it correctly．The bin can also compressthe waste to make it smaller in size and take up less space．In South Korea，people have to separate their food waste from other kinds of waste and pay for it．The more food waste they throw away，the more they pay．Japan has the strictest rules for waste sorting in the world．For example，plastic bottles and their caps should go into different bins．
