Abu Dhabi，United Arab Emirates
Dropping down from the top spot last year is Abu Dhabi，the capital of the United Arab Emirates，with a safety index of 88.03.While it has a population of just over 1 million，only 420，000 are actually citizens—whose average net worth is $17 million dollars.It is also home to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque，the country's largest，as well as many camel races.

The world can be a scary place when you're young.It can be even scarier when you're a young little blue penguin(企鹅)，the tiniest of the penguin species.Luckily，there are some humans willing to help.They stepped in to protect Billy，a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch，New Zealand.
Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay，near Sumner，in Christchurch，the
little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd.Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon，and he biked home to get his camera.When he returned to the scene，he found that the penguin had received a little sign，one that read“Hi，I'm waiting for my mum to come back.DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I'm here.Please leave me alone.Keep your dog away.Thanks，Billy the baby blue penguin.”
Billy didn't move away from the sign.The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy，though they were surprised to see it on the beach.“It's unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，”Anita Spencer，a DOC senior ranger，told Stuff.
Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin，and is around 2 months old.The chick weighs a mere 550 grams，less than a standard basketball.A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.
The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice，before it's set free into the ocean.

Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet，it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water.Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin，meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.Recently，Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
It is a convenient，clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten.To drink it，you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth.To eat it，you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth.One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship lots of Ooho bubbles without arriving with a very wet truck.However，they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane.It is targeting large outdoor events such as marathons，music festivals，and sporting events，where tons of plastic bottles are used，and frequently left behind as litter.And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment，which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho；they have recently applied for a patent for their new advancement.The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet，but they cost about two cents to create a unit，which is cheaper than plastic bottles.It has appeared at events in London，San Francisco，Boston，at conferences，festivals，and so on.
Ooho is catching many people's attention and has raised over $1 million and gained 1，000 investors in only three days.It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer's interest when the production machine is running.It is quickly making a rise，so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.
28．How is most plastic dealt with in America?
A．It's sold.B．It's recycled.
C．It's buried.D．It's wasted.
29．Why did the team invent Ooho?
A．To make a profit for a company.
B．To protect the environment.
C．To make people eat as they drink.
D．To reduce the cost of the plastic bottle.
30．What can we infer about Ooho from the text?
A．It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.
B．It has become popular since it began to be sold.
C．It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.
D．It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology.
31．What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph?
A．Ooho is to be a success in the future.
B．Ooho is being supported by smart people.
C．Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now.
D．Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.
D
It's not easy to feel like you're always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.And you wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things change if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.
Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although
most would say“it's good to have high standards”，they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up to less than your desired goal，you will feel as though you have failed，but you're far from failing；you just don't see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you're stupid，and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the“not good enough”label each and every day.
You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don't perform up to your expectations then you will think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can't trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other aspects of your life.
The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection of our body，our performance，and our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes，is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?
We all have flaws，fears，and make mistakes，and that's perfectly OK.It's our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don't have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.
32．Where is the text most likely from?
A．A diary. B．A novel.
C．A magazine.D．A guidebook.
33．Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?
A．Nobody is perfect.
B．Be generous with praise.
C．There is no best, only better.
D．A contented mind is an everlasting feast.
34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.
B．More and more people are tolerating mistakes.
C．Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.
D．It's unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.
35．What does the author think of the imperfection?
A．It's unbearable.
B．It's part of our life.
C．It deserves to be overcome.
D．It does harm to our mental health.

How to Form a Positive Reading Habit
Books are a source of joy, learnings insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 31
●Give old favorites a re-read
There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 32 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters — You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.
●Learning something new
If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favourites have in common. 33 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of no-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.
●34
Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do
— try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask your friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.
Give yourself permission to move on
Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 35 The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.
A. Get social.
B. Set up a book club.
C. There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all.
D. Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life.
E. Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader.
F. Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories.
G. A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme.

Two years ago, my friend and I were at college. With his birthday quickly approaching, he came to me with an unusual 41: instead of receiving presents, he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was42for such an idea. Giving instead of taking for the birthday was really difficult. I asked him how he could come up with such a43idea. He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity, which had inspired him. So we started to44creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to45its students. They have to work 46, keeping watch on every corner throughout the university. For the most part it's a thankless job as most people grow47to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 48, let alone acknowledge their efforts. How could we show them our appreciation?
We decided to make a large pot of hot 49. We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the50would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The Uber driver was51 a bit doubtful to the entire plan but after a while he was helping us52the guards and our lively spirit had53to him as well. We were met with many54and appreciative words. It was amazing to see how a55act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone's spirit.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My sister Priscilla and I just came back from a week-long vacation in Portugal with lots of photos. I'll remember so many wonderful things about my trip to the cities of Lisbon and Porto, but one experience in particular sticks out, something that happened on our last night in Lisbon.
Before the trip, I put together a very detailed route of places to see. One of the must-visit places on my list was Livraria do Sim?o, the smallest bookstore in Lisbon. On our very first day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I searched for it. We found the oldest bookstore in the world. But the smallest one was impossible to find! Back at the hotel, where we had Wi-Fi, I looked the bookstore up again, hoping we'd have time to find it on another day. But our schedule was delayed, and we probably wouldn't have time to look for it.
On our last full day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I took a day trip to Cascais, a coastal town outside the city. We decided, at the last minute, to visit a historic flea market (跳蚤市场). We
walked for about an hour, up many steep hills. When we finally reached the market, completely out of breath, all the sellers were closing up. Not to mention that we were both tired and hungry. Priscilla and I argued over the directions. I insisted we turn right, which ended up being another had decision. We climbed up more steep hills, farther and farther away from any area we recognized. We made another right turn onto a random street and Priscilla stopped to check the map. Meanwhile, I looked up at the street sign, Rua da Madalena. I'd heard that name before. We continued a little farther up the street, and I spotted a few people hanging out in a lane. There was something particularly familiar about the scene. I looked closer. There was a small store practically hidden in the lane. It had books in its windows.
Paragraph 1:
Oh my goodness! The bookstore!
_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Soon, it was time for us to say goodbye.
