1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Although I am from America, I have lived in China for several years. 1.I want to tell you some differences between China and the USA.

Education

2.中国学生比美国学生更擅长于数学。I feel that Chinese students study harder and have longer classroom hours to enter college. In my opinion, the best way for the students may be to get elementary(初等的)and secondary education in China and go to the American universities. Of course, you need to have enough money to pay for it.

Environment

American children are taught to keep the environment clean. But it isn’t the same here in China. I am happy to see more and more Chinese children are changing their habits. People are taking notice of their environment.3.And they are playing a role in keeping it clean.

Safety

If you walk down a dark street alone at night in the US, you’ll probably be afraid of being attacked (攻击). In China,it isn’t a problem. 4.I feel safe living here in China.

Leadership

There are a lot of great leaders(领导)in China, such as Chairman Xi. 5.他是中国历史上最伟大的领袖之一。He is wise and is making wide choices in leading China. I am sincerely amazed at his leadership.

21、   F1 is a very fast car race. It is one of the most popular sports in the world. The drivers go at over 300 kilometers an hour every race. But F1 cars didn’t always go so fast.

In 1895, the first F1 race began in France. During that race, it took the drivers 48 hours to finish 580 kilometers. In 1901, the best drivers had an average(平均) speed of 100 kilometers an hour. Modern grand prix(奖品) F1 racing began in 1950 in Britain. “Grand prix” is French. It means “large prize”. Today, 12 teams and 24 drivers race to get points. There are races at different tracks(路线) all over the world from March to October every year. There are also F2 and F3 racing. But the cars are slower and less high-tech.

During a F1 race, drivers have to make several stops to change tyres(轮胎) and put more petrol in their cars. A team of people do these tasks together to make the stops short. Some people lift the car up, others change the tyres. While this person works on the tyres, another person puts petrol in the car and a different person cleans the driver’s helmet. One more person talks to the driver about how to win. It’s amazing that all those people finish it in just a few seconds!

During 100-meter races, people count the players’ speed by 1/100th(0. 01) of a second, for example 10.81 seconds. In the world of car racing, however, the race has to be timed to 1/1000th (0. 001) of a second. That is 50 times faster than the time for a blink(眨眼).

F1 cars look very colorful. First, cars of different teams have different colors. Then there are a lot of advertisements on the cars.

【1】The drivers in F1 races can reach the speed of ____ an hour.

A.100 kilometers B.over 300 kilometers

C.580 kilometers D.1000 kilometers

【2】Modern grand prix F1 racing first began ____.

A.in France B.in Britain C.in 1895 D.in 1901

【3】Today F1 race is held ____.

A.at different tracks all the year round B.every month all over the world

C.from March to October every year D.in France and Britain every year

【4】When the driver makes stops in a race, a team of people will ____.

A.help him make the stops short B.lift the car up and change the tyres

C.put petrol in the car and clean the car D.clean the driver’s helmet

【5】In the world of car racing, the race has to be timed to ____.

A.second B.10. 81 second

C.1/100th of a second D.1/1000th of a second

24、   Do you want to be a very successful person? Being successful needs a lot, such as knowledge, hard work and maybe sometimes luck. Some experts(专家)share advice on how to become successful. Most experts agree on one thing：starting your day on the right foot is the most important.

Collected from the advice, here are some ideas on how to start your day off right:

Get up an hour early. People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day. The morning may be the best part of your day when you can do your best work. "The early bird gets the worm." It means that people who get up early have a head start so they are more possible to succeed.

Drink a glass of lemon water. Why? Health experts say that drinking some lemon water first in the morning jump-starts the body's metabolism(新陈代谢). Not only does it jump-start your body's cells(细胞), but this kind of drink keeps them moving throughout the day.

Don' t answer email or jump into social media(社交媒体) as soon as you get up. During breakfast, you decide to check your email or open up your Wechat. You see some Wechat moments from friends. They post pictures to tell about something happy, sad, interesting or boring. Before you notice it, 10 minutes has passed! You hurry out of the door not to be late for school. This is not a good way to start your day.

Exercise! Running on the playground with friends may be a great way to start your day. Exercise experts often suggest some exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is busy for most people. By the day's end, you may feel too tired to exercise. How many times have you finished school and said to yourself, "I'm too tired to exercise! I'll do it tomorrow."

Think about your day at night, Take time at the end of the day to think back on all the things that you have done. You probably didn't have time to do everything you planned. But that's fine. If you did one thing, that means you are one step closer in reaching your goals(目标). And spend a little time thinking about tomorrow.

You will be successful as long as you start your day on the right foot.

【1】Some experts think if we want to become successful, it is the most important to ________.

A.have some good luck B.work very hard at night

C.learn some knowledge D.begin our day in the right way

【2】According to the passage, the writer believes that ________.

A.it's a great way to share moments on Wechat in the morning

B.drinking lemon water in the morning can help us fight colds

C.people who get up early in the morning are all very successful

D.it's good to do one thing that you plan a day and get close to your goals

【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.How to start your day on the right foot B.How to set a goal for tomorrow

C.What exercise to do in the day D.What to think about at night
