In this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US－based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.
Italy: While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 p．m., the Italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.
Germany：ing from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 p.m.
UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for Karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9 p.m. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24－hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 p.m., and then there is a steady interest in 24－hour food stores and delivery, until 1 a.m.
France：The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.
Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology(皮肤科) at 10 p．m., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.

On the day of college graduation, I announced to my friends and family: I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood. “I just need a change,” I told them, but there was more. I was heartbroken. My relationship with the United States is the toughest one I have ever had, as a country I loved and believed in did not love me back.
Back in the 1990s’, my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to America when I was four. She worked as a live-in nanny(保姆)for two years, playing mommy for white kids whose parents had better things to do. She was thirsty to embrace her American dream, hoping that her children would be educated and she might have nannies of her own one day.
That was our path—get a “good education.” When the neighborhoods with quality schools became too expensive for my mom to afford as a single parent, we went across the United States with GreatSchools Net as our pass: New Jersey, elementary school; Texas, middle school; Florida, high school; New York City, private university.
For a long time I survived by covering myself in all kinds of labels so that people would ignore the color of my skin, yet I existed on the edge of ugly, ignorant and uncolored. “Black people don’t really know how to swim,” a white lady told me when I worked as a swim instructor at my neighborhood’s pool. “The black children don’t like to read very much,” I overheard one librarian discussing with another while l was reading.
I was never able to make America my home. When I stripped myself of the labels painfully one by one, beneath them there is a wounded colored woman who refuses to be faceless anymore. My face may be disgusting to some since it bears proof that race continues to be a problem. My
hope is that it will force Americans to reexamine their “post—racial” beliefs.
25. The author gives two examples in Paragraph 4 to show that . A. she needed to cover herself in all kinds of labels
B. Black people and children don’t like swimming and reading at all C. racial discrimination still exists in such a developed country D. white people in America are ignorant and rude
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. The author’s mother was well educated and hoped the author could receive good education as her.
B. The author and her mother referred to GreatSchools Net when the author wanted to choose schools to attend in America.
C. The author once worked as a nanny as well as a swimming instructor.
D. The author found it easy to adapt to the life in America when she first arrived there. 27. The author writes the passage to hope . A. immigrants get ready for more hardship
B. the US people reflect on how it treated the colored people C. her family can understand her decision D. the black people reexamine their ways of life
C
Forests are amazing, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats (蝙蝠) or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?
Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them---the millipede(千足虫).
The importance of leaves
When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they depose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.
Food on the forest floor
Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into small pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms
prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where millipede can help.
More on the menu
The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then bees the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.
So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.
28. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede? A. It can often be seen on TV shows.
B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil. C. It is too small to be noticed by people. D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.
29. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms? A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest. B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.
C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out. D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat. 31. According to the author, the millipede is . A. poisonous B. rare C. unimportant D. amazing
D
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?
