Going to school looks quite a bit different during the COVID-19 pandemic （流行病）. Students and teachers have to wear masks and keep social distance in the whole day. But teachers like Mary Schulz of the West Fork School District in Rockwell， Iowa， still miss the daily greetings that help grow their relationship with their kids. Mary used to greet each of her students with a hug， high-five， or handshake. “When we came back， we hadn’t seen each other for so long and the students just wanted to reach out. You could see it，” she said. “It was just kind of awkward （令人尷尬的）. Maybe you will think the ways of greetings are funny.”
She thought of a clever way to have each of her students come up with a special greeting to start their day！ Some of them did a dance move， some simply waved， and others had a difficult foot-tap combination. Mary learned all 20 of their special hellos. Now her kids are glad to line up for their daily welcome from Mrs Mary.
Mary said she had felt more connected with her students since having the daily greetings. “We’re just trying to have school life with some fun things，” she added. “The kids just like it！ It has brought me joy too.”

These days， it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets. Rather than depend on another pre-existing planet， could we make a new， proper planet ourselves？
To start with， if we’d want to be living on it， we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone， meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly， liquid water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our earth is made up of many different elements. If we made our own new planet， we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure. We’d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials， creating a new planet like the Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food， since there’s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project！
According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration （NASA）， each astronaut uses about 0.83 kilograms of food per meal， including 0.12 kilograms of packaging material. Without the weight of the packaging material， we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day！ In reality， creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible， it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
28. What is the first thing we should do to create a new planet？
A. To prepare enough food. B. To design its inner structure.
C. To find a proper place to set it. D. To collect materials similar to our earth.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A. Our earth. B. Outer space. C. The new planet. D. The ocean water.
30. How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal？
A. About 0.12 kg. B. About 0.71 kg. C. About 0.83 kg. D. About 0.95 kg.
31. What does the author think of creating a planet？
A. It is a waste of money and time. B. It won’t come true in the near future.
C. It is not a good idea for humans. D. It should be one of NASA’s next plans.
D
Color can affect moods， emotions and even actions. This includes sleep and health.
The color blue has been thought to stimulate a sleep state. Exposure to blue light can help lower body temperature and blood pressure. A decrease in blood pressure and body temperature is the preparation that signals to the body that it’s time to sleep. Therefore， seeing the color blue when you are ready to rest may cause the response and help you fall asleep more easily.
While there is much evidence that blue is the best choice for your bedroom walls， it’s really the tone （色調） that influences your sleep， not the color itself. Deep blue or other neutral （素净的） tones will even make a small bedroom seem more spacious.
While soft colors and earth tones are the most calming and restful bedroom colors for sleep， which prevent your brain activity. Bright colors stimulate brain activity and stop you from falling asleep.
What you should remember is that never paint your bedroom walls purple！ Purple stimulates creative thought and can lead to extremely vivid nightmares. Other bad choices for bedroom colors include bright reds and bright oranges. These colors stimulate the brain and increase energy. For example， red causes passion， increases energy and may even help you move more quickly. It may be a better choice for your home gym than for your sleep space.
Regardless of the size of your room， there are a few tones that we suggest for creating a healthy space for deep sleep. The most important factor is that you feel calm and restful in the room. You should also keep your bedroom free from mess as much as possible and keep it clean. In your bedroom， sleep should be your main focus.
32. What is the effect the color blue has on people？
A. It can cause high blood pressure. B. It can keep the brain active.
C. It can adjust the sleep state. D. It can cool the body down.
33. What color can help make the room look larger？
A. Light gray. B. Deep pink. C. Deep red. D. Orange.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？
A. Ways to make sure of good sleep. B. Bad colors for the bedroom.
C. Colors and brain activities. D. The advice on health.
35. What plays a key role in sleep？
A. The room is decorated well. B. The room is free from rubbish.
C. The room makes you feel relaxed. D. The room shows different tones.

Everyone wants to be happy. You see people who are smiling and laughing， and you want to be like them. However， there are also bad days. Here are three ways to make you happier every day.
Smile often. Research has shown that the facial expression you wear influences your state of mind.
Wearing a pleasant expression for a long period of time will slowly improve your feelings and help you have a happier day.
The more you complain， the more annoyed you become. If all you notice or talk about during the day are the things that annoy you， it is no surprise that you are unhappy. To truly increase your long-term happiness， don’t complain any longer.
Practice thankfulness. Thankfulness has been shown to be the last ticket to a happy life. The more you practice thankfulness， the more you will find things to be grateful for in your life. Even something as simple as a safe place to sleep or food to eat is worth being thankful for because not everyone is fortunate enough to have those necessities.
A. Stop complaining.
B. Try your best to keep healthy.
C. If you try to smile， you are more likely to be happy.

E. This then leads you to realize how much goodness is in your life.

Many athletes have been told that smiling while sweating will make their efforts feel easier. A marathon runner smiled widely through the final miles of his fastest-ever marathon; afterward， he said he had hoped was that the smiling would ease him to the finish line. there has been little scientific evidence to support this idea. In recent years， several past studies （examine） whether deliberately （故意） smiling can make （change） to how people feel psychologically during races. But few have looked at the physical effect on sports performance.
Researchers decided （gather） a group of experienced recreational runners and have them smile broadly as they ran. Many of the runners found difficult to smile throughout the whole session， though. Their smiles became （increase） fixed and unnatural. Such false smiles make （few） facial muscles start working than the sincere version and most likely result in less （relax） and performance improvement. So the key to （use） a happy smile to make you a better runner may be to smile sincerely and often near a race’s end， but in a 30-second burst， rather than constantly.
