阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

    Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.

    "The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier!" Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.

    Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day.

    "Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of 'time' in another way," said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a "future mail" company. Zheng thinks "future mail" letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.

    While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.

    Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(签订合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged.

    Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Psychologists (心理学家) said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection(联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter.

(1)、"Future mail" is a/an ______ way to send your letter.
A、fast B、old C、new D、cheap
(2)、The underlined word "compensate" means ______ in Chinese.
A、赔偿 B、完成 C、送达 D、抛弃
(3)、The "future mail" service is popular among ______.
A、junior students B、college students C、young children D、blue-collar workers
(4)、The "future mail" service can help us ______.
A、sign a contract B、express our love and care C、forget friendship D、understand the meaning of "time" in a wrong way
(5)、You'd better use "future mail" if you want to ______.
A、save money from sending express mail B、send a birthday gift to your friend quickly C、talk with your friends about your life freely D、send a your best wishes to yourself on January 1, 2020

根据短文内容,选择正确的选项。
   The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means(交流方式). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
   Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
   Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills fish and pollutes drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
    Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.
   The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is mostly caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
   The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must try to control the growth of population at the same time.

  Turns out,you're not just what you eat—you're also where you eat.

  Researchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one.

    The researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens,under the guise of (以……为幌子)asking them to wait for someone.Half of the women stood in a messy kitchen,with piles of newspapers,dirty dishes and a ringing phone.The other half of the women waited in a clean kitchen.

    Both kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrots.Each woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchen.

    Why did this happen?

    “Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,''Lenny Vartanian,one of the researchers,said.“It seems to lead people to think,‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn't I be?'''

    The study's size was small,but the findings prove something we know all too well:Stress(压力)is bad for you.Stress often causes people to overeat.Beyond weight gain,too much stress can also increase a person's heart rate,and lead to painful conditions like headaches.

    While there are many ways to manage stress.including listening to music and exercising,this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm.The next time you don't want to tidy up the kitchen,remember that the exercise will help you a lot in so many ways.
