A poor boy was selling goods from one door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had almost no money, and he was hungry. So he decided to ask for a meal.
But when a woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. To his surprise, she gave him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he should pay her. She said, “You don't have to pay me anything. Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He was deeply moved and was determined to help those in need. The boy's name was Howard Kelly.
Many years had passed. One day that woman became seriously ill. The local doctors could not help her. So they sent her to a big city where her rare disease would be studied by specialists. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for advice. When he entered her room in the hospital, he immediately spotted the woman. Howard Kelly was determined to do his best to help her.

Living and dealing with kids can be a difficult job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even more complex.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important. With any relationship, you need to let other people know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart (疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking lo them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of others. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up lo your room and ignore everyone. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t. She was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not giving Sophie a chance to explain why she was late. Later, they kept calm and listened to munication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
4. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is .
A. more uninteresting B. easier
C. more difficult D. more interesting
5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The importance of friendship.
B. The importance of communication.
C. To make your feeling known to others.
D. The disagreement between generations.
6. Which is the key to a happy relationship
A. Children should always obey their parents.
B. Parents play the leading part.
C. They should be equal.
D. Both make the opposite know their anger.
7. What does the example in this passage prove
A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her.
B. Communication is the solution to misunderstanding.
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late.
D. Sophie is very polite to her parents.
C
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people's behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor finds that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when lo shake hands, when to shack conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement.
Language problems do not account for all the difficulty that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in dealing with the new society may arise.
When an individual (个人) enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze al their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
8. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture
A. Excited. B. Upset.
C. Delighted. D. Hopeless.
9. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. It's impossible to get used to a new culture.
B. Foreigners often don’t mean what native people say.
C. People feel confused due to culture shock.
D. Most foreigners are usually quite humorous.
10. What’s the biggest problem people often meet with in a new country
A. The puzzlement. B. The environment.
C. The transportation. D. The language.
11. Why do a few immigrants say no to everything of the new country
A. Because they miss their native culture seriously.
B. Because they can’t enter the new society.
C. Because they know nothing about the culture.
D. Because they really regret having immigrated.
D
From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat (威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The result of job reduction.
B. The fast development of AI.
C. The future life of elderly people.
D. The influence of technology on jobs.
13. What will people most probably do in the future
A. Take the place of AI.
B. Work in a traditional way.
C. Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D. Enjoy life without working anymore.
14. What can be known from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph
A. Job unemployment will stay high.
B. More jobs tend to appear in the future.
C. Job competition is likely to grow fiercer.
D. Technology will have less control over jobs.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Are People Losing Their Jobs
B. The Requirements for Future Jobs
C. The Challenging Life in the Future
D. Does Technology Simplify Everything

The sun was setting and the farm would be closing soon. I dressed our three daughters quickly as my husband started the car. Cutting down our own Christmas tree had been a family tradition.
As we walked through the rows of trees, my youngest daughter Kimberly shouted excitedly, "There it is, the perfect tree!" The other two agreed. My husband and I looked at each other puzzled. It was misshapen and pine needles were missing here and there.
We tried to talk our daughters into changing their minds, but failed. We had to tie the tree to the top of our car and headed home. As we reached our house, Heather jumped out first. Suddenly she shouted, "The tree isn't there!" We thought she was kidding. However, it wasn't there.
The girls were so sad. "We'll get another tree tomorrow," I said, secretly hoping the new tree would be prettier. But the girls gave us the look that no parent can say no to. We had no choice but to go back and find that tree.
About five minutes into our drive, we saw our tree on the side of the road. Clearly it had been run over by a truck and a big part of it had fallen off, but we took our little broken tree home anyway.
Once at home, we all agreed that the flat broken side would go up against the wall. That night, as we decorated our tree, something magical happened. By the time we were done, I had to admit, it didn't look sad after all. "This is the best tree we ever had. It's perfect!" my second daughter Samantha said excitedly. My husband and I couldn't have agreed more!
Now we always recall that little broken tree! Year by year, we tell the story of that very special Christmas almost twenty-five years ago.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.
Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷的)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.
28. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."
A. He was driving at great speed. B. He was running across the street.
C. He didn't have his safety belt on. D. He didn't take his medicine on time.
29. The reason why father was in a hurry to get home was that he .
A. wasn't feeling very well B. hated to drive in the dark
C. wanted to take some exercise D. didn't want to be caught by the people
30. According to the text, to be“thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you .
A. may be knocked down by other cars B. may get seriously hurt thrown out of the car
C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat D. may get caught in the car door
31. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe .
A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C. they will be caught when help comes
D. cars catch fire easily
D
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread."
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest memories. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
32. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph
A. Wealth results from honest effort.
B. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
C. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
D. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.
33. The underlined sentence "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread" means .
A. No pains, no gains
B. Failure is the mother of success
C. Bread comes from the sweat on your face
D. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
34. We learn from the passage that the author .
A. was a wealthy person in the community
B. held a positive attitude towards an active life
C. was fond of associating with celebrities(名人)
D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
35. What is implied in the passage by the writer
A. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.
B. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

Who should go: art lovers, Renaissance historians and leather handbag shoppers with high credit limits.
When to go: spring or fall. Travelers usually avoid summer in Florence.
Paris, France
Who should go: starving artists, Henry Miller fans, traditional food lovers.
When to go: spring is the best time. That's what they all say, anyway. Autumn isn't bad, either, but I'd rather be rooting around the south of France in search of truffles (松露) in autumn. Summer in Paris isn't bad, really.
Amsterdam, Holland
Who should go: lovers of Dutch Master (artists I mean, like Rembrandt, not cigars), bicyclists—it's a bike city in a flat land.

Madrid, Spain
Who should go: night birds—Madrid never sleeps, art lovers—the Prado is second only to the Louvre in presenting serious art, party-goers.
When to go: spring, when days are warm and the nights are pleasantly cool. Demand for outside eating and drinking starts becoming stronger in March or April. Street life peaks in June and then slows in July and August as the temperature peaks. Autumn is also good, although you'll risk some rains.

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel ”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruit are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.
24. According to the passage, ________．
A. we should always keep fit
B. one can eat a lot to stay in good shape

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍照) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated(夸大), the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching. ” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2
To advertise the cartoon made by students.
To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
29. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have
A. He might get separated from his friends and family.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. His social skills could be affected.
30. Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
31. What may the passage talk about next
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People who are addicted to phubbing.
C. The possible consequences of phubbing.
D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D
The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line: all I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.
Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蜗牛). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically(同情地) and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.
If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America ” I would reply without hesitation. “Wait your turn at all times. ” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.
32. What happened to the author at the store
A. He wasn’t served upon his order. B. He was ill-treated by a customer.
C. He was asked to be served later. D. He was asked to do others a favor.
32. What is the author’s opinion about Queuing Rule
A. Wait until being served. B. Serve people as one likes.
C. Wait until your turn comes. D. First come,later served.
34. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to
A. His belief. B. His experience. C. His culture. D. His rule.
35. Why did the author write the text
A. To emphasize his kindness to others.
B. To introduce some western cultures to us.
C. To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.
D. To express his belief and his feeling.
