They supposedly swim in remote lakes，hide in dense forests，and walk among snowy mountains.Yet despite being unreal proven by science，cryptids—fantastical beasts that probably don't exist—have fascinated humans for centuries and gave birth to cryptotourism which boosts the local tourism.North America's Bigfoot helps generate over ﹩140 million annually for the U.S.economy，according to the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland，Maine.
   In Nepal，cryptotourism reaches back to the 1950s.It centers on the Yeti.Up to six feet tall and similar in appearance to the Bigfoot，this legendary creature is reported to wander on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and is a prominent figure in the folk tale of Nepal.Its tale is 6，000 years old.But the furry beast was a regional fairytale until British explorer Eric Shipton claimed to have photographed a 13-inch-long human-like footprint in the snow of Nepal's Menlung Glacier.Explorers all over the world soon flooded into the Himalayas，competing to detect the cryptid.
   Over time，the Yeti became a powerful tourism brand in Nepal.This beast's foot forms the logo of the domestic carrier，Yeti Airlines，while hotels，restaurants，cafés，and tour companies profit off its name.
   Some Nepalis are more skeptical.Sushil，a tour guide，says even as a child he viewed Yetis as a sham.Now，when his customers ask about the monster，he tells them it's widely considered a myth.Sushil says he dislikes cryptotourism，which steals focus from the country's remarkable architecture and ancient traditions. "I don't think the Yeti is a valuable tool to promote Nepal tourism，" he says. "We have a lot of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.Nepal should focus on its rich natural diversity."
   Academics have also offered scientific explanations for the Yeti and other cryptids，yet these legends persist. "People have always been fascinated by things in nature which confuse us，things which we just don't understand，" says Panday，a Nepali author. "That's not going to change any time soon."

1．    Have you learned a lot of English words？Well，many more are being created right now!
    Neologisms appear all the time，especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
   Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield，author of Netymology：A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World，says that in the16th Century，many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
   In the19th Century，the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
   Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever，says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution，and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
   From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games，technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"（OMG），"laughs out loud"（LOL） and"for your information"（FYI）.
   We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
   The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles，automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings，new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
   Where habit leads，language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile，as a student of the English language，you've got a lot of catching up to do.

（1）What does the underlined word"Neologisms"in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A.New words.
B.Old words.
C.Strange words.
D.Technological words.
（2）How does the author prove his opinion？

A.By experimenting.
B.By giving examples.
C.By asking and answering.
D.By telling stories.
（3）What's the author's attitude to the new words？

A.Disappointed.
B.Concerned.
C.Subjective.
D.Objective.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

A.How to Learn New Words
B.How to Invent New Words
C.New Words，Good or Bad
D.New World，New Words

2．When did you last stop to look at a tree？Really look at it ，not merely notice it.Trees play such an important role in our lives and yet day to day we often don' t even notice them；we often take them for granted.Yet if you are looking to strengthen your grounds ，reduce pollution around your school ，improve your children's health and wellbeing and develop your science subject ，then planting trees is certainly the way forward.
   The first and most obvious benefit of starting a tree -planting program is the environmental impact.Children are enthusiastic，and often highly knowledgeable about climate change and the main causes of it.They are also interested in projects that can make a difference to their community' s carbon footprints.Planting trees is an easy and long-lasting way to involve pupils and to have a positive impact on the climate.
   A tee-planting program also offers teachers the opportunity to discuss biodiversity （生物多樣性） and gives pupils the chance to get involved in an actual example.It' s a real-life science experiment and will provide children with amazing habitats to study in science lessons for years to come.
   Planting trees can also have a positive impact on children' s mental health.One in four people in the UK will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives and one in 10 children aged 5-1 6 have a diagnosable （可診斷的） mental health condition ，according to The Children' s Society.Mental health is a complex issue with many causal factors and no simple solutions.However ，according to the Mental Health Foundation ，the opportunity to play and learn in outdoor environments has been quoted in research studies as a significantly positive influence.
   Being active will also improve children' s general health and wellbeing，as well as increasing engagement more generally by providing an enjoyable context for learning.Parents and the community ，o，will enjoy the improved beauty of the school grounds.

3．Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their designers say that with these robots，rescue workers will be able to have more time to save more lives during an earthquake.
   This robot looking like a helicopter，is called the detectorbot.It's about 4 meters long，and it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions（作用）are to collect information from the air，and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people stuck in an earthquake.
   This robot has a high quality 360 degree panoramic（全景的）camera.It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.Dr.Qi Juntong，from the Chinese Academy of Sciences，said， "Unlike other automatic machines，the most important feature of this robot is that it doesn't need a distant control.We just input the information of the earthquake-struck area to it，and then it takes off，and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3，000 meters，and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour."
   This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes.Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
   As well as a detector（探測器） that finds victims（遇難者）and detects poisonous gas，a camera is placed in the 4-meter-long robot，which can work in the dark.
   Another use for the rescuers is the supply device，with its 10-meter-long pipe.People who are caught in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
   Experts have said that the robots will go into production，and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

A．It hasn't been put into production so far.
B．It is a machine with a length of 10 meters.
C．It is a machine carried by a helicopter.
D．It weighs about 30 kilos.
（2）Why did Dr.Qi Juntong think this robot is different from the others？

A．It has more functions.
B．It has a more advanced camera.
C．It can change as the environment changes.
D．It can work by itself once given the information.
（3）What is the passage mainly about？

A．The appearance of the robot.
B．An introduction to the robot.
C．The reason for making the robot.
D．Some information about earthquakes.
