Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every petition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I dont care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boys eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didnt say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad. YOU ARE MY LIFE.21. The father went to the boarding school to_.A. know if he was still the best student B. find out what was wrong with his sonC. ask some questions about his classmates D. talk with the boys teacher about his grades22. If we say the questions are casual, we mean they are_.A. unimportant B. strange C. special D. difficult23. Why were the boys eyes filled with tears when he heard what his father said?A. Because his father didnt care about his grades any more.B. Because he hadnt had a talk with his father for a long time.C. Because he had a chance to say his worries.D. Because he was deeply moved by his fathers words.24. The passage mainly tells us never to _.A. send a small boy to a boarding school B. care too much about a students gradesC. pay no attention to the power of caring D. miss the chance to say thanks to our fathersBIf you have seen or heard of the British TV series Downton Abbey, you have probably noticed an “upstairs-downstairs” class system in which the noble people are upstairs, worrying what clothes they should wear for dinner and the poor people are downstairs, working hard to make food and tea. So its not hard to tell that people are divided into different classes. British society has changed a lot since the days of Downton Abbey, but the division still exists and the funny accents do, too. Nowadays, what divides Britons is the so-called “North-South divide”. As you make your way north from the south coast of England, the accent begins to change. The posh “How are you” in parts of the South bees “Ahhdu” (how do you do) in the Midlands, “reeit” (are you alright) in the North West, “eyyup” (whats up) in Yorkshire, and “hous it gaun” (hows it going) in Scotland. Besides accents, the economy also changes. The rich southern city of London slowly bees the North where people generally have less money. So where does the “South” stop being the “South” and the “North” start being the “North”? Well, depending on where someone es from in Britain, youll get a different answer. “Anywhere above London is the North,” you might hear a Londoner say. Or if youre in Scotland, you might hear, “Southern softer!”, talking about a person from Lancashire or Yorkshire, who think of themselves as “hard (tough) Northerners”. “Anywhere south of Manchester is not northern,” you might hear a person from Manchester say. Many stereotypes (成见) have e from the “North-South Divide”, too. Often, southerners are seen as being rude and snobbish (势利眼的) by northerners. And northerners are often seen as uneducated by southerners. Today, the career you have and the person you marry dont depend on where you were born or what class you are from. But as London is getting richer and people are moving to the South for work, the North-South divide is getting bigger. Yet for all that divides us, the truth is, we couldnt live without each other! 25. The first paragraph serves to _. A. pare the lives of upstairs with those of downstairs B. explain how the class system worked in the past C. attack the unfair class division D. introduce the topic of the passage26. People from North West greet each other by saying _. A. “hous it gaun” B. “reeit” C. “eyyup” D. “ahhdu”27. From Paragraph 4 we get to know _. A. Scotlanders think Londoners are not strong enough B. Manchester people think Scotland belongs to the South C. Manchester people regard themselves as Northerners D. there is no such thing as “North-South Divide” 28. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. British accents are different from North to South. B. Class division is getting smaller at present. C. It is about the “North-South Division” and its influence. D. Northerners and Southerners dislike each other in Britain.CEveryone talks about the greenhouse effect and how our Earth and its climate are being affected（影响）. We can do a science experiment at home designed by some kids to show this effect and what is happening to the Earth.First prepare the following items:2 glass containers that need to be the same size and shape 1 gallon plastic bag4 cups of very cold waterIce cubes（冰块） Fill each container with two cups of cold water. Add the same amount of ice cubes to each container. Then put one of the containers in the plastic bag and close it tight. Put both containers in the sun together and keep them there for at least an hour. At the end of one hour remove the container from the plastic bag and immediately check the temperature of the water. After you record this, find out the temperature of the water that is not covered. When you place the containers in direct sunlight, the air inside the bag bees very warm. The heat filters (渗入) in but cannot escape so it stays in the closed plastic bag and increases the temperature. What if you leave that for two, three or four hours? Think about what is happening to the Earth. There are chemicals that are creating a type of plastic bag around the Earth. It causes our air to get warmer because of the heat from the sun being kept in this closed area. Think about your car in the hot summer. This is what happens when you leave your car outside all day. This greenhouse effect has caused your car to be so hot that you sometimes cannot even touch the steering wheel（方向盘）. This science project goes to show what affects our planet.29. According to the text, the greenhouse effect appears mainly because of _.A. the hot sunlight B. chemicals around the Earth C. the plastic bag D. human activities30.

Fill each of the two glass containers with two cups of cold water.d. Put one container in a plastic bag and close it tight.e. Put the two containers in the sun for at least one hour.f. Measure the water which is covered with a plastic bag.A. b e d c a f B. b e c d f a C. b c e d a f D. b c d e f a31. If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be “_”.A. An Interesting Experiment Done by Kids B. How to Protect Our Precious PlanetC. Bring Home the Seriousness of Greenhouse EffectD. The Greenhouse Effect Has Been Proved by KidsDWhat Is Self-tracking All aboutHave you ever monitored something about yourself? Perhaps youve tracked how many kilometers youve run, how many hours youve slept or how many calories youve eaten in a day. If so, youve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement.” Individuals gather information about their daily activities in this popular movement, also called self-tracking. This may sound difficult, but technology is making the process easier. Perhaps youve wanted to change a bad habit but couldnt. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle. Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood. So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep patterns. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet. Monitoring daily activities isnt a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies, headaches and other health problems. However, it wasnt until xx that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, coined the term “Quantified Self.” Wolf says that the new tools will change our sense of self with the purpose of making us more effective in the world. Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its drawbacks. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can bee an addition people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health. While self-tracking doesnt guarantee that ones quality of life will improve, it can highlight the importance of eating well and exercising daily. After all, the Quantified Self Movements focus is motivating people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices. 32. People choose self-tracking because _.A. it collects personal data and leads to self-improvementsB. it records how many hours you sleep a dayC. it watches your eating habits D. it increases your movement33. The writer mentions tools such as smartphones and apps in Paragraph 4 to show _.A. we depend too much on themB. it is easier to do self-tracking C. they do harm to peoples healthD. equipment is necessary to do self-tracking 34. Self-tracking was firstly put forward by _.A. scientists of Data Speaks Health Solutions B. athletes and their coachesC. doctors and their patientsD. two magazine editors 35. You can find this article in the part of _.A. EducationB. EntertainmentC. HealthD.

Love what you do.Sure Steve became a billionaire when he bought Apple back. Apple was his calling -even after he got fried from the pany. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: Am I in the right job? Have I found the right pany? Life doesnt go on forever. 37 2. Dont do it all by yourself.Steve learned a great leader cant do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 38 They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail.

Its empathy(同情心)that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product, he says “Wow, its just what I need”. Remember: youre King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.4. Dont ignore your health problem. 40 Thats the most important lesson from Steves life.
