Here are some good choices for you.UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. Whats more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the hub! Located on the third floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as casual armchairs and bar-style desks.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly refurbished(翻新的) UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Grays Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am8:00 pm.

So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house. That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and Davids house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and Davids have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse. And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David “Momma” and “Dad,” are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another. The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. “At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.”“They give us a gift complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, We hug here, and weve been hugging since.”Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn around kids lives. “I still havent seen one program change one kids life,” he says. “What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.” Souls are not saved in packs. Love is the necessary force.5.

Kids change their relationships in a program.CDo you like eating processed meat? If you do, think twice now if you want to eat such meat for the sake of your health. Why? Its because eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.Processed meat is the meat that has been preserved by salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHOs International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France studied 800 patients. The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per dayabout two pieces of baconincreases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is “enough evidence” of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.WHO experts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is “probably” carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a person eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk of heart disease and obesity.However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.9. It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC _.A. are all processed foodsB. arent often eaten by peopleC. can be the most dangerous to humansD. can greatly increase the risk of cancer10. What can take the place of the underlined word “protest”? A. Learn from. B. Disagree with. C. Take interest in. D. Pay attention to.11. What can be used as the best title of the passage? A. WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause Cancer B. The Importance of Having a Balanced Diet C. Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for Humans D. Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of CancerD Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil. Kenton Lee, an American man invented The Shoe That Grows. He explains, “It grows in three places: the front, on the side and on the back. It can last up to five years. The bottom is rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather. ” Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya. “I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes. The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, wouldnt it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet？” However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. A pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection. It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed. “Because its a small thing that really does make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed. ” Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world.12. The first paragraph may intends to tell us _. A. many children suffer lacking shoes B. shoes are badly needed in many places C. the necessity of inventing the new shoes D. we should make efforts to help the children13. What does the underlined word “ parasites” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Small living things that live on or inside something. B. The remains that left in the soil after crops got in. C. Some worms that protect soil. D. Small insects that are not easy to find.14. Whats the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The children in orphanage live a hard life. B. What inspired Kenton Lee to invent the shoes. C. A girl with a pair of worn shoes. D. Kenton Lee wanted to help the children.15. From Kenton Lee, we can know _. A. the new-invented shoes can grow automatically B. he had little difficulty in inventing the new type shoes C. he had a great dream to invent shoes from his childhood D. shoes are important for childrens physical and mental growth第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。We all know that being grateful and appreciative is very beneficial. 16 Gratitude belongs to the category of advanced life skills because it can completely transform your life.Help others turn away from negativity.
