Do you really care who wins Oscars？ On February 24 this year， the Academy Awards were presented to actors， actresses， directors， musicians and many other people． Usually they are the \， the audience， are persuaded that this is true．
This year， the nominations （提名） for Best Picture include Black Panther， Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book． According to many people， these are great movies， as are the performers who bring the stories to life． Whoever wins the award for Best Actor or Best Actress will undoubtedly become a Hollywood star．
However， Leonardo had never won an Oscar before 2016， but that doesn't mean that his films aren't amazing． I only need to mention Titanic and The Wolf of Wall Street and you can clearly see that he is an excellent actor． And of course， let's not forget Romeo and Juliet．
I'm afraid someone may wrongly apprehend my meaning． I am not saying that those who win Academy Awards are not talented people． They most certainly are talented． What I mean is that I don't think we should judge films and actors by how many awards they have． After all， at this year's Golden Globe Awards， Ricky Gervais compared the prizes to a doorstop and told the nominees to remember that no one cared about that award as much as they did． So let's not judge an actor or actress just based on what critics （评论家） say． If you want to know how good an actor or actress really is， go and watch the film he or she stars in．1.Why is Leonardo mentioned in the passage？ ______
A. He is one of the writer's favorite film actors．
B. He is one of the actors who starred in many films．C. He is the leading actor in many award-winning films．D. He is a good actor who didn't win an Oscar until 2016．
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word \？
______
A. Express．B. Understand．C. Change．D. Show．3.In the author's opinion， what is the best way to judge an actor？ ______
A. To see if he has won an Oscar．B. To read what critics say．
C. To judge him by watching his acting．D. To see how many awards he has won．

Chopsticks, or Kuaizi in Chinese, are used to eat Asian food. The earliest evidence of a pair of chopsticks made of bronze was found in the Ruins of Yin near Anyang, Henan Province, dating back to about 1, 200 B. C..
Chopsticks are round on the eating end which stands for heaven, and the other end is square which stands for earth. This is because keeping enough food supply is the greatest concern between heaven and earth in Chinese culture.

There is no single standard for the use of chopsticks, but better keep some rules in mind while eating with them. Playing with chopsticks is considered impolite and rude, just like playing with a fork in a western environment. Besides, chopsticks are not used to move bowls or plates or to play with one's food. Chopsticks are not supposed to stab (戳) food, either. Exceptions include tearing larger items apart such as vegetables. Also, chopsticks should not be left standing up in a bowl of food. Any stick-like object pointing upward looks like the incense sticks that some Asians use as offerings to family members who have died. In addition, never tap chopsticks on the edge of one's bowl, as beggars are believed to make this noise to attract attention. Moreover, chopsticks should not be chewed on, or stay in one's mouth for too long. Today, chopsticks serve many other functions. For example, you can buy a pair of chopsticks as a gift for a newly-married couple as their wedding gift. In Chinese, \\kuaizi\chopsticks to make them look like fine artwork. Additionally, it has been said that using chopsticks improves one's memory, increases finger flexibility (灵活性) and can be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character writing and brush painting.4.We may probably find this passage in ______ ．
A. a posterB. a magazineC. a travel guideD. an advertisement5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Traditional rules for using chopsticks.B. Different standards to use chopsticks.C. Some exceptions to use chopsticks．
D. Cultural backgrounds for using chopsticks6.The writer probably agrees ________.
A. chopsticks can help keep enough food supply
B. stabbing food with chopsticks is never allowed in China
C. standing chopsticks up in a bowl of food is traditionally acceptedD. Chinese brush painting learners may benefit from using chopsticks

A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.
The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight-loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.
The study involved 470 people aged between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker.
Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.

38.Karl walked to the back of the classroom to put his book away． There，
lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase， was a golden ticket! He picked it up． His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank （空白的）．
The boys and girls in Karl's class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind． Once a week his teacher， Miss Evans， drew a ticket out of a jar （广口瓶）， and let the winner choose a prize． Karl couldn't believe his luck．
The golden ticket was going to be drawn， and here was another ticket， just for him． He looked around， but no one else was near the ticket．
All his classmates were at their desks， laughing and talking with each other． Karl decided to write his name on the blank line．
Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he'd already earned． With so many chances，
at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sister's birthday present， just like what he had been hoping for．
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket． Suddenly his fingers stopped． There was a strange feeling in his chest （ 胸 膛 ）， and it wasn't his heartbeat． He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out （弄清楚）． He did find the ticket， but he hadn't earned it． Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it．
But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!
