I received a private message on my social media account.It began harmlessly enough: “Hey,girl.We want to invite you to join our next challenge group—we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.”
It was all becoming too much.Social media was running my life,not me.
But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo,and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten.His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval (认可).I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from real life and had unknowingly set a bad example to him.
Before social media became popular,surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction (消遣) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines.I checked in with friends through texts,emails and phone calls.
To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example to my son,I deactivated my social media account.
I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day,so I had to come up with some new ideas.I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me.I rediscovered knitting (针织).I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things.My body is fine just the way it is.I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble,and I will help them out.I do my best to be a good mother,and my son is happy and healthy.We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cell phone.I was completely in the moment.
The break left me feeling better about myself,my family,my home and my life.
After a few weeks,I returned to social media.Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide.I check it out on a daily basis,but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
It is not an addiction any more.

The student arrived early, sat front and centre, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class.He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humour and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that term and reapply for next year.By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon he was back at his old desk again, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a man over 60,still as energetic and curious as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that term’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a junior student.Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something quite unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace, he’ll be about 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this term will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单).But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important way,it counts.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个关于“活到老,学到老”的故事。
(　　)1.What made Valencia different from his classmates
[A]He was respectful to the teacher.
[B]He activated the class atmosphere.
[C]He often put forward different opinions.
[D]He was eager to learn despite his age.Unit 2　课时作业(四)

Ⅳ.应用文写作(15分)
阅读下面的故事,用英语写一篇80个词左右的读后感。
A long time ago,there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.They loved to play together.
As time went by,the boy had grown up and no longer played around it.One day,he came back and the tree excitedly invited him to play.But the boy said he needed money to buy toys.“Sorry, I have no money,but you can pick all my apples and sell them,” said the tree.The boy did as told and left happily but never came back.The tree was sad.
Many years passed,the boy returned and told the tree he had to make money to build a house for his family.The tree happily offered his branches for his house.With the branches,the boy left,satisfied.The tree was again lonely and sad.
Then one hot summer day, the tree was delighted to see the boy back again.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat ”the boy said.“Use my trunk to build your boat.”The boy cut the tree trunk and went sailing but didn’t show up for a long time.The tree was happy,but it was not true.
Finally,the boy returned after he left for so many years.“Sorry,my boy.But I don’t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for you,” the tree said with tears.
The boy replied that he was too old and needed nothing.The tree said,“Good!An old tree root is the best place to lean on and e,sit down with me and rest.”The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...
[写作指导]
One possible version:
The fable presents a moving story to us, in which an apple tree satisfied a boy’s wishes unconditionally by sacrificing everything for him.All it desired is the boy’s company.
The tree in the fable is affectionate and unselfish.The moral of it is that parental love is so infinite that children should be grateful for that.I am deeply moved by the fable and feel an impulse to praise all the parents.It makes me realise how great my parents are and I should be grateful for what they have done for me.Love is its own reward.Therefore,if I were the boy,I would hold the tree dear.Unit 2　课时作业(二)

I didn’t go to Santiago, Chile to look for friendship.In fact, Chile was not even on my wish list.
A mid-life crisis woman, I got a chance to study abroad.I only wanted to learn about global business, taste South American cuisine, and check “study abroad” off my wish list.
On the fifth day, I joined a group for a neighbourhood work project aided by the anti-poverty (扶贫) organisation.Our tasks were to build a water tower and paint the community centre.Upon arrival, I couldn’t believe my eyes.It was like a scene out of a horrible film.That moment redefined poverty for me because I had never seen such terrible living conditions.As advised, I showed no signs of the motional battle going on inside me.
Just as I was about to start work on painting, a request came through for a few volunteers to help Nadia, a local resident who volunteered to cook for us.I raised my hand to help because I wanted to spend time with the people of the neighbourhood despite my shortage of Spanish speaking skills.
Nadia had a sincere smile but not overly friendly.Even without speaking each other’s language we started to learn about one another.We chatted about our children, our upbringing, shared pictures of our family, struggled to instruct each other to communicate in the other’s language, and laughed many times.
After we fed everybody and the dishes were washed, my day was over.But I found myself hesitant to leave.It was as if I had known her for my entire life.I had not predicted the unselfishness of heart I would encounter, and it was moving.
As we were waiting for the car to pick us up,Nadia showed me her plants that were well-maintained.I could see that despite the hard conditions she was passionate about life.She made me long to be a stronger person.She showed me that poverty was external, but happiness was internal.I was seeking to give 100 per cent for a well-intentioned cause, but I left receiving 200 per cent from her.

I received a private message on my social media account.It began harmlessly enough: “Hey,girl.We want to invite you to join our next challenge group—we’ll be focusing on daily exercise and balanced nutrition.”
It was all becoming too much.Social media was running my life,not me.
But what killed social media for me was when I posted a photo,and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had gotten.His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval (认可).I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from real life and had unknowingly set a bad example to him.
Before social media became popular,surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction (消遣) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines.I checked in with friends through texts,emails and phone calls.
To recreate the simplicity (质朴) of those days and set a better example to my son,I deactivated my social media account.
I’d been in the habit of checking my social media account many times a day,so I had to come up with some new ideas.I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me.I rediscovered knitting (针织).I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things.My body is fine just the way it is.I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble,and I will help them out.I do my best to be a good mother,and my son is happy and healthy.We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year.
I stopped looking at the world through my cell phone.I was completely in the moment.
The break left me feeling better about myself,my family,my home and my life.
After a few weeks,I returned to social media.Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide.I check it out on a daily basis,but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
It is not an addiction any more.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
The student arrived early, sat front and centre, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class.He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humour and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that term and reapply for next year.By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon he was back at his old desk again, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a man over 60,still as energetic and curious as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that term’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a junior student.Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something quite unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace, he’ll be about 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this term will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单).But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important way,it counts.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个关于“活到老,学到老”的故事。
(　　)1.What made Valencia different from his classmates
[A]He was respectful to the teacher.
[B]He activated the class atmosphere.
[C]He often put forward different opinions.
[D]He was eager to learn despite his age.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The student arrived early...undergraduate communications class.”、第三段中的“He said he would have to...on my communications class.”以及第六段和第七段内容可知,瓦伦西亚与他的同学的不同之处在于虽然他年纪大了,但仍渴望学习。故选D。
(　　)2.According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes
[A]Because he treasured the chance of learning.
[B]Because he wished to show his determination.
[C]Because he needed the credits to further his study.
[D]Because he desired to have an A on his transcripts.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently...a junior student.”可知,瓦伦西亚继续上课是因为他得到了学习的乐趣,珍惜学习的机会。故选A。
(　　)3.Which of the following can best describe Valencia
[A]Modest and independent.
[B]Energetic and generous.
[C]Enthusiastic and motivated.
[D]Considerate and intelligent.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humour and wisdom of experience.”可推知,瓦伦西亚对学习很热情;根据倒数第二段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates...a junior student.”可知,60多岁交不起学费的瓦伦西亚,为了学习的乐趣仍继续上课,说明他很上进。由此可推知,他是一个热情、上进的人。故选C。
(　　)4.What can we learn from the passage
[A]No pains, no gains.
[B]It is never too old to learn.
[C]Strike the iron while it is hot.
[D]Where there is life, there is hope.
【答案】 B
【解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文,本文讲述了杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个60多岁的大三学生,在课堂上积极参加讨论,尊重其他同学的观点,没有足够的钱去支付学费也仍不放弃,通过工作赚钱,继续完成学业,还要继续读研的事情。由此可知,本文主要告诉我们“It is never too old to learn.”的道理。故选B。
