I may not be the wisest person on this planet，but I will tell you a little secret to happiness：Help other，and live life．It is that simple．Just help a friend study for a test，or volunteer at a nursing home ．I learned this after a long，hard search． I was feeling really down because my long-time friend had died．Then I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday．My routine was to serve the meal and clean up．After that，I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do． One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right．In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie．I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old．He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him．He motioned for me to sit down．I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness． We started to talk，and I found out that his family rarely visited，and all he did every day was watch TV．I wanted to cry for him，and for my lost friend．As we talked，he had a smile on his face，and I asked him why．"The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile．With this horrible disease，how do you still manage to stay happy?" He thought for a moment，and then said that too many people are dead even before they die．They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for．The boy said that he would not be like that．He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise．He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun．He also said that he has hope．"Too many people haven't seen much of that around here，" he said，" Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone．" I don’t know what happened to him．I assume he passed away，but his lesson lives on．I now wake up and live each day to the fullest．The key to life is not money or fame，but the lessons we learn from it．4. The nursing home in the passage is mainly for_______
A．the disabled B．the homeless C．the elderly D．the abandoned
5. The boy stayed happy mainly due to_______．
A．wonderful TV programs B．his positive attitude
C．good medical condition D．others' encouragement

A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women's shoes.Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.
A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy's, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company's co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women's feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe's outer part, called the sole. This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rothy's shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We're not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
8．How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A．They are used to make shoes. B．They are changed into soft materials.
C．They are buried or burned. D．They are returned to factories for reuse.
9．What does the underlined word “knitted” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Repaired. B．Fixed. C．Spotted. D．Combined.
10．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy's shoes?
A．The design and color. B．The reasonable price.
C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow. D．The company's advertisement.
11．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To advertise a new kind of shoes.
B．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.
C．To describe the process of making shoes.
D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.
D
The fashionable technology of virtual reality (虚拟现实) (VR) --- the wonderful world created by computers --- is finally here, but before you rush out to buy the headset, you’ll want to take notice of experts’ warnings. “These devices are designed mostly for adult use,” said Dr. Justin Asgarpour, Vancouver optometrist (whose job is to examine people’s eyes and to sell glasses).
Little research has been done about the long-term effects of VR on children, but makers have not designed the VR headsets for young eyes. VR headset maker Oculus Rift states that younger users may suffer from discomfort or ill health effects, and they are in a very important period of visual development.
“What a study has suggested is that a VR device can actually cause what we call amblyopia, potential lazy eyes, in these children with pre-existing visual conditions,” Dr. Asgarpour said.
Even children without underlying eye conditions could experience problems, like temporary double vision.Adults should be careful too, according to the doctor, who says longer virtual reality experiences can lead t balance problems. You should be careful of your surroundings and be careful not to trip over wires. Those with heart conditions are advised not to play.
But there are some positive health uses of virtual reality. The technology has been used to treat conditions like fear of heights, and it’s also being used to help treat addictions.
“What we’re trying to do is take people into a drug-related setting and let them experience cravings (extremely strong wishes for something,)” Dr. Zach Rosenthal with Duke University said. He and his team take addicts inside a virtual house and use a series of tones to condition them to reduce their cravings.
A lot more research needs to be done about the long-term health effects of VR, but in the meantime you had better spend only a limited time on VR and make sure your children use it as little as possible.
12．What may be Oculus Rift’s attitude to children’s use of VR?
A．Uninterested. B．Discouraging. C．Doubtful. D．Curious
13．What did Asgarpour say about VR?
A．It could help to improve users’ balance.
B．It was badly in need of improvements.
C．It could be used to treat heart disease.
D．It might cause kids’ sight problems.
14．Why does the author mention Rosenthal’s study?
A． To prove VR’s beneficial effects. B．To discuss people’s cravings for VR.
C．To comment on VR’s medical uses. D．To explain the harm of addictions.
15．What are scientists expected to find out?
A．Why children are showing much interest in VR.
B．How people can use VR to improve their health.
C．Why VR is getting more popular at the present time.
D．How VR influences users over a long period of time.
