Not long ago, Linda Khan was sitting by a hospital bed in Houston, feeling ill at ease. Beside her lay her father who needed heart surgery. The two of them had engaged in nothing but depressing small talk. Then, her eyes fell on a pile of books. She picked up one, and started to read it out loud. “Right away it changed the mood and atmosphere，” she says. Reading gave the daughter a way to connect with her father. Listening allowed the father to travel on the sound of his daughter's voice into a place where he felt himself again. “From then on，” Khan says, “I always read to him.”
In a 2010 survey in the United Kingdom, elderly adults who joined weekly read aloud groups reported better concentration, less anxiety, and an improved ability to socialize. The survey authors owed these improvements in large part to the “rich, varied diet of serious literature” that group members consumed, with fiction encouraging feelings of relaxation and calm, poetry fostering focused concentration, and narratives giving rise to cognitive (认知的) thoughts, feelings, and memories. In truth, almost any kind of reading to another person can be beneficial.
Readers get rewards too. For Neil Bush, the late life hospitalization of his famous parents, George H. W. and Barbara Bush, became opportunities to repay a debt of gratitude. “When I was a kid, they would read to me，” he said. With his parents in and out of care, “We've been reading books about Dad's foreign policy and, more recently, Mom's autobiography.” Bush went on, his voice thick with emotion, “And to read their amazing life to them has been a remarkable blessing to me, personally, as their son.”
To many people, reading to parents may seem so far outside the normal range of regular activities, and it may even feel odd and improper. However, there are still many people who brave the momentary strangeness of reading to elderly adults and both readers and listeners are, to borrow a phrase from Wordsworth, surprised by the joy of it.
4．What did reading offer to Linda and her father
A．A way to establish a bond.
B．A way to travel together in reality.
C．A way to treat the disease.
D．A way to engage in learning.
5．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Improvements in mental health.
B．Benefits of reading to others.
C．Changes in the cognitive process.
D．Development of social skills.
6．What does Neil Bush's experience prove
A．Reading benefits more than the listener.
B．Parents should read more to their kids.
C．Children should show their gratitude.
D．Reading to parents is children's duty.
7．How does the author feel about reading to an elderly adult
A．Improper and odd.
B．Abnormal but worthy.
C．Rewarding and joyful.
D．Interesting but unnecessary.

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater for entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town and using gas all the way with the car coughing emissions. But now we're used to staying at home and streaming (流播) movies, and we might get a little proud. After all, we just pick up our phones or maybe turn on the TV.
According to “Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video”， digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half hour show would cause 1.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6.28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers used 25% more energy compared to just three years earlier.
Streaming is only expected to increase as we become_more_enamored_of our digital devices and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times in four years and account for 80% of all Internet traffic. By then, about 80% of the world's population will be online.
You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi Fi, watch on the smallest screen, and turn off your Wi Fi in your home if you're not using your devices.
8．What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in
A．The environmental effect of driving private cars.
B．The improvement on environmental awareness.
C．The change in the way people seek entertainment.
D．The environmental impact of streaming services.
9．What does the underlined phrase “become more enamored of” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Get more skeptical of.
B．Become more aware of.
C．Feel much crazier about.
D．Get more worried about.
10．What can we infer about the use of streaming services
A．It is being reduced to protect the planet.
B．Its environmental effects are worsening.
C．It is easily available to almost everyone.
D．Its side effects have drawn global attention.
11．Which of the following is the most environmental friendly
A．Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
B．Downloading music on a personal computer.
C．Uploading a lot of images of the same thing.
D．Playing online games over mobile network.
D
Nowadays, social media are becoming more and more popular.People have completely made social media part of their daily lives.As a result，many people have developed an Internet personality.
The Internet personality I am talking about is the one we shape on our social media sites.We are always posting information about ourselves for other people to know even when it can be completely untrue.Some people even go so far as to spend money in buying flowers or “likes” or buying a very expensive camera for their friends to take photos of them.I find it unbelievable.The time and energy spent on these silly things can only make us want to be accepted by more people.
Social media are also a modern cause of depression: People see the perfect lives of others and consider their own imperfect lives as bad.Even kids deal with this.They don't realize that the reason why they struggle to love themselves is that they spend all day receiving untrue information.
I find that many people spend more time and energy in making sure that their online personality is worth accepting rather than caring for their real presence.So many times I have seen confident and beautiful girls on social media.But in the real world，they are extremely shy.They hardly talk to anyone and spend all their time using the phone.
Social media have gone so far as to even negatively affect marriages.This is because of the fact that there are now “Instagram husbands” — people whose use is to take perfect photos of their partners throughout the day.They spend a lot of time doing that whether they like it or not.Needless to say, social media likely influence relationships in a negative way.
I think everyone should stop using social media at least for a few months to experience the difference it makes to them.They may find life is very different and much better.
12．What does “the Internet personality” in the text refer to
A．The hope to develop a better personality.
B．The personality developed through social media.
C．The true personality shown by us on social media.
D．The information we get about others on social media.
13．Why are social media a modern cause of depression
A．We may read some upsetting news.
B．We have to try very hard to be accepted.
C．We can't really find much useful information.
D．We feel sad about ourselves through comparing.
14．What does the example given in paragraph 4 show
A．Shy people can also become confident.
B．Social media make people become more energetic.
C．Social media make people ignore their true presence.
D．People today don't consider their presence important.
15．What's most probably the author's attitude towards people's using social media
A．Uninterested.　　　　　　 B．Negative.
C．Uncertain. D．Supportive.

I have already forgotten the name of that old lady.Yet I still remember the matter as if it happened yesterday.It is she who teaches me a lesson in forgiveness.
It happened when I was twelve years old.That summer holiday, I planned to earn some pocket money by delivering the newspaper in our neighbourhood.And she was a customer on my paper route.She was a kind lady and every time I gave her the paper, she would give me some cookies.
On a mindless Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house from a quiet spot in her backyard.The purpose of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof's edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride.The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go.Seeing it headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch (门廊), we stood there, numb with fear.The sound of broken glass awoke us from the fear and the next second, we ran away from the old lady's yard faster than any of our missiles flowing off her roof.
After coming back home, I was so scared of getting caught that I dared not go out that whole afternoon.I stayed at home, glancing at my front yard nervously from time to time, feeling that lady would knock at our door at any time.But until I went to bed，what I was afraid didn't happen.Lying in bed, I wondered whether she didn't discover the broken window or she didn't discover who had done it.That was a sleepless night.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；　2.请按如下格式作答。
The next morning, I delivered the paper to her as usual.　
　
After three weeks, I earned seven dollars and put them in an envelope.

参考范文：
The next morning, I delivered the paper to her as usual.On the way to her home, so nervous was I that I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.But to my surprise, I saw the broken glass had been repaired and she didn't mention it.When I handed her the paper, she still greeted me and gave me some cookies as usual.Holding these cookies in my hand, a feeling of guilt swept over me and I determined that I would save my paper delivery money to make up for the broken window.
After three weeks, I earned seven dollars and put them in an envelope.I secretly put it through the letter box in her door.After doing this, I suddenly felt in relief.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and thanked her for the bag of cookies.When I opened the bag, I was stunned.Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I'm proud of you.” She knew it was me.But instead of blaming and punishing me, she chose to forgive me.Even so many years later, she is still deeply engraved in my mind, because she taught me a valuable lesson in my life.
