So how do you kill time to relax yourself? Here are some of the things my friends and I did to have fun without modern conveniences last month.
Card games
Playing cards can bring hours of fun! It is the most common card game. You only need a pack of cards. The games include 'President’, ‘Cheat’ and a take on the game” ‘UNO’.
Hunt the thimble
One player hides a thimble or another small object in a room, while the other players stay outside. The other players then return to the room and look for the object. The player who hid the thimble can give clues or say ‘hot’ or 'cold’ depending on how close the players are to the object. The person who finds the item first wins.
Board games
Board games are great at helping pass the time on a dull day. In the game, players have to deduce(推断)the mystery of the story. For example,when solving the mystery of the broken toy, players have to discover which toy it was, who broke it, and when it was broken.
Consequences
This is a very amusing game. All you need is a pen and piece of paper for each person in the group. Everyone writes the beginning of a story. Then it is passed to the next person in the circle, who writes the next word or sentence. But the challenge is that the paper is folded so that only the most recent phrase can be seen before being passed again to the next player, who writes the next line and so on. After ten sentences have been written, the whole story is seen clearly. Usually there will be some funny stories to make you laugh!

Ferrell got the standard well wishes on the website on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was heartbroken. Could Ferrell help?
That message was exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd,the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the California family, she sent a wind chime(风铃)with the message "Listen to the wind and know that I am near" carved on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her47th,she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use.
Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores.“I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like“YESSS!”It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to.

“Pale Moon rains. Red Moon blows. White Moon neither rains nor snows." For generations, people have watched the Moon for signs of changes in the weather. The Moon does, in fact, affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns in different ways.
The most obvious effect the Moon has on the Earth can be seen in the ocean tides.A world without tides would have very different weather systems. Tides are one factor that influences the movement of ocean currents, which move warm or cool water around the Earth. Thus, the water temperature changes. Warm ocean currents bring warmer and wetter weather, while cold ocean currents bring colder and drier weather.
The Moon is also thought to affect polar temperatures and contribute to fluctuations in the amount of Arctic ice.Tidal forces(潮汐力)act to break up ice sheets and change ocean heat flows, changing the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean. Satellite measurements have shown that the poles are 0.55℃ warmer during a full Moon.
The Moon's influence,sometimes slight and sometimes strong, has had an important impact on life on Earth. Some scientists argue that it is the Moon that made life possible in the first place. The Moon makes the Earth move steadily as it is spinning(自转),helping to give us a steady climate. Without it,the Earth would lose balance. The Moon is our closest friend,without which the Earth would be a very lonely place.
18.Why do people watch the Moon according to Paragraph 1?
A. To appreciate the moon. B. To record weather patterns.
C. To prepare for extreme weather.D.To observe signs of weather changes
19. What impact does the Moon have on the Earth?
A.It influences water temperature B.It makes weather hard to predict
C. It turns the earth colder and drier. D. It changes the size of ocean currents.
20. What does the underlined word “fluctuations”mean?
A.Change.B.Increase. C.Flow. D. Measurement.
21. What is the best title for the passage?
A.Changes of Ocean Heat Flows. B.Patterns of the Earth's Climate.
C.Causes of Changes in Polar Weather. D. Effects of the Moon on Global Weather

When I'm on my social media, I sometimes feel like I'm in a modern, virtual agora(露天集市) of ancient Greek city-states. This was the center of town, the place where business was conducted, goods were bought and sold, and ideas were exchanged. For many people, the agora was not just a marketplace; it was the stage on which the dramas of daily life started. Social media now provides that space.
In the age of social media, we may be returning to a state in which a thinker's wisdom relies on his ability to perform it. That is to say, we are able to transform that performance into online information.
Some of the best-known public people of the present day have realized this. Jordan Poterson and Brené Brown, for example, have lots of followings across their social media platforms, using them as major platforms to spread their ideas. While neither of them may call themselves as philosophers, both deal with basic philosophical ideas about happiness and how to live.
However, could the competitive performance of wisdom fully show whether people really owned it? Plato thought it might be a problem, and it can also be seen from the“Information War"of the present day. So, what if you're good at social media- does that mean that you have anything of value to say? Popularity may be measured by likes, but wisdom is not.
22. What do social media and the Greek agora have in common?
A. They focus on trade of goods. B. They offer a stage to do dramas.
C. They are both the center of town. D.They allow ideas to be exchanged
23. What does the underlined word“this" refer to?
A.Returning to ancient Greek city-states B.Transforming old habits into new ones.
C. Using social media to spread their ideasD.Building a stage to put on some performances
24. How does the author prove his idea in Paragraph 4?
A.By giving examples. B. By using a quotation
C.By making a comparison D. By providing research data.
25. Where is the text probably from?
A.A guidebook. B.A magazine. C. A textbook. D.A novel.
