At some point we all will be required to wear a tie, but how do you tie a tie? To answer that question, I’ve drawn up a step-by-step instruction to an easy tie knot(结) to help you.
Four-in-Hand knot is the easiest to learn. It is a small tie knot that suits shirts with a narrow collar(领子) opening and is suitable for most situations, but it doesn’t look like good on wide collar shirts. Since it doesn’t look like you need to spend too much time in front of the mirror seriously tying it. You can just quickly put on a tie and go out the door. Also, if you’re ever in a hurry, this is the knot to know.
● 1. Begin by crossing the wide end over the narrow end. ● 2. Fold the wide end under the narrow end. ● 3. Pass the wide end over the narrow end again.
● 4. Take the wide end up and through the circle around your neck.

D
He Jiang, a Chinese graduate(毕业生) made history at Harvard, has become a star on Chinese social media.
On Thursday morning, Harvard commencement(毕业典礼) speech, with their centuries-old history, welcomed their first-ever Chinese speaker－He Jiang, a 2016 graduate in biochemistry, made a speech representing(代表) the graduate students at the commencement.
He graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China－One of China’s top universities－with a bachelor’s degree in 2009 and was matriculated by Harvard’s PhD program. Then his amazing school life at Harvard started the same year.
He Jiang began his speech with a childhood memory from his small village in central China’s Hunan province. He was bitten on the hand by a spider and his mother treated it in an old folk way－setting his hand on fire－rather than going to the doctor, because there were no doctors.
He Jiang was one of the speakers to speak at the commencement. By tradition, one of the speakers is believed in Latin by a graduating senior from the college; the second, in English, is also by a graduating college senior; and the third by a student representative of the graduate and professional schools.
To win the chance to speak, he went through three rounds of competition. Asked why he entered the competition, he simply said, “I want more voices from China to be heard.” But ability and hard work are what really led him to the speech.

A. comes from Hunan and studies in Harvard B. has the ability to give others a good speech C. gives a speech at Harvard commencement

What are fossils?
Fossils are the remains of plants or animals. For such remains to be considered fossils, scientists have decided they have to be over 10,000 years old. The word fossil comes from the Latin word “fossilis”, which means, “dug up”. Fossils can be divided into “body fossils” and “trace(痕迹) fossils”. Body fossils are the remains
of a plant or animal’s body. Trace fossils are the remains of the activity of an animal, such as footprints, egg shells, and nests. How are fossils formed?
Some animals were quickly covered after their death by sediment(沉淀物) like earth, mud or sand. Over time, the parts of the animals that didn’t rot (usually the harder parts like bones and teeth) were covered in the newly formed sediment. Then, a lot of chemical changes happened to the animals bodies. Water with minerals(矿物质) went into the bone and took the place of the chemicals in the bone with rock-like minerals. In the end we get a heavy, rock-like copy of the original object - a fossil. There weren’t any changes in size and shape when an object changed into a fossil, but the fossil of a bone doesn’t have any bone in it! It is chemically more like a rock! According to scientists, fossils have been found on every continent(大陆) on Earth.
57. According to the passage, there are ______ kinds of fossils.
A. two
B. three
C. four
58. Picture ______ is an example of “trace fossil”.
A. B. C.
59. ______ brings the rock-like minerals into the bone.
A. Sunlight
B. Water
C. Earth
60. The fossil is ______ the original object in size and shape.
A. smaller than
B. the same as
C. bigger than
61. Which of the following statement is True according to the passage?
A. Scientists think that the fossils may have a history of 100 centuries. B. People haven’t found any fossil on the continent of Africa. C. We can find some bones in the fossils of bone.
