“Eat your breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day!” Why are parents always saying that?

On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9: 50 a.m.. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.
Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"
I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4students were injured thus far.
The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.

There were two fishermen named Tom and Jack. They were close pals. One day they went out to catch fish together and have a fish meal in the field.
They sat at a distance and started hunting for fish. Tom got a big and beautiful fish in a few minutes. He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. He decided to cook the fish in the noon. He spent some more time and caught a few more fish. He decided to make a grand meal with the fish. Also, he froze a few fish to take them back home.
After an hour or so, Tom went to Jack to see if he needed any help. Jack said no. In a few minutes, Jack caught a large fish. However, he put it back into the lake.
Tom was surprised at his act, but he remained silent. Jack caught more big fish, and put them all back into the lake.
Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, "Are you mad? Why do you put your fish back into the water? They are beautiful and big!"

A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.
If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that's the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr.Elliott's program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure.Language has to be structure in a certain way, or it will be harder to use,he told New Scientist magazine.
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if it's similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.
However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.

Coming up with a program. |
B. |
Knowing a structure. |

Understanding aliens. |
D. |
Discovering aliens. |
(3)What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. |
Some necessary conditions for making the program work. |
B. |
Dr.Elliott's findings about different kinds of languages. |
C. |
Three important functions of the program. |
D. |
The number of sentence structures of human languages. |
(4)How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?

Mix the message with 60 human languages. |
B. |
Translate the message and send it to the database. |
C. |
Pick out the sentence structure and translate it. |
D. |
Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages. |
(5)What can we infer from the story?

Not all languages have their own structure. |
B. |
The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages. |
C. |
To translate alien languages, there is much work to do. |
D. |

Have you ever seen rows of different cars parked on a big playground, with their boots(汽车后备箱) open? The boots are packed with things like books, pictures, kid's toys. This is a car boot sale. It is popular in the UK.
If you have lots of things and have nowhere to put them, and don't want to throw them away, why not try a car boot sale? Go to a car boot sale and you may be excited about what you find.
You can find almost anything at a car boot sale, from beds, tables to necklaces and ring….
Most of the things are second﹣hand, so they are usually low﹣priced. I like to hunt for books. I was petty proud when I bought four books from the Harry Potter. Series and they cost me just over ¥2.
Here is a little tip that not everybody knows; When it's nearly the end of the sale(they usually finish in the early afternoon), many sellers cut the prices because they want to throw away things. Quite often you'll find "all for 10p", "Buy one and get one free" and "Take it away!"It's clear that they just want to throw those things away.
However, there may not be much good stuff(物品)left in the end﹣the things people really want are sole quickly. So, as they say, the early bird catches the worm!
