COURTESY PAUL BOZYMOWSKI-Three New York ...

    COURTESY PAUL BOZYMOWSKI-Three New York City police officers paid for a woman’s groceries rather than arresting her.

As temperatures approached 90 degrees in New York City last July 4th, three police officers ducked into a Whole Foods Market to get something cold to drink. What they walked into was a heated human drama.

Once inside, the cops, Lt. Louis Sojo and Officers Esanidy Cuevas and Michael Rivera, were approached by a store security guard who asked for help with a suspected shoplifter. The woman in question didn’t have the look of a career criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with tears.

The cops peeked inside her bag. “All we saw was containers of food.” Cuevas told CBS New York.

"I’m hungry," she explained quietly.

Caught red-handed, the woman no doubt expected to be sentenced to jail for the crime of being hungry while poor. But the cops had other ideas. “We’ll pay for her food,” Sojo told the surprised security guard.

There’d been no discussion among the three men. It went unsaid. Instead, they picked up the woman’s bag and accompanied her to a cash register, where each took out $10 to pay the tab. She would not be arrested today.

All the woman could do was weep in gratitude. Covering her face with a kerchief and drying her eyes, she repeated, “Thank you, thank you.”

She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of mercy. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.

But attention was never what the officers sought. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN, “When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this.”

1.What can be learnt about the woman from the passage?

A.She had stolen in the shop several times before.

B.She was caught on the spot by three police officers.

C.She was found innocent and would not be arrested.

D.She was forced to commit the crime due to the dilemma of life.

2.Paul Bozymowski posted a photo on Twitter to      .

A.appeal for sympathy for the people in need B.express his gratitude to the police officers

C.show more people the cops’ act of kindness D.record the unforgettable moment in his life

3.What drove the three police officers to pay for the woman?

A.Their great devotion to work B.A deep sense of being human

C.The attraction of the public attention D.Their different attitude towards shoplifting

 

1.D 2.C 3.B 【解析】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述纽约市的三位警察非但没有逮捕一名偷东西的妇女反而为她买单的新闻。 1. 推理判断题。根据文章"I’m hungry," she explained quietly(“我饿了,”她平静地解释道)以及最后一段 When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this (当你看着一个人的脸,发现他们需要你,而且他们真的很饿,作为一个人很难从这样的事情中走开)可知,这位女士是因为肚子饿才不得已到超市偷东西的,是因为生活的不易才导致犯罪的。故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段 She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of mercy. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see(她不是唯一一个被这种仁慈行为感动的人。“那是一个非常美丽、真实的时刻,”在店里Paul Bozymowski说。他被所见所闻深深吸引,并在推特上发布了一张照片供所有人观看)可知,他被警察的善良感动了,并且他想让更多的人知道警察的善良行为。选C项。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this(当你看着一个人的脸,发现他们需要你,而且他们真的很饿,作为一个人很难从这样的事情中走开)可知,警察们觉得,作为一个人很难做到见到需要帮助的人而不伸手帮助的。故选B项。

    What kind of house will you buy in the future? Would you like to live in a house where your plants can call your phone to tell you that they need to be watered? Or a house that helps you cut your energy bill by turning off the lights when you leave a room? It may sound like science fiction, but it already exists! Come and visit the Smart Home at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. It will show how you can live a green lifestyle by making use of advanced technology throughout the home that makes your life easier and simpler.

The Smart Home uses green technology to record the energy it uses, including electricity, water and gas. The house’s energy dashboard (仪表盘) lets you know your energy use through your television and computer. The house greets you with the new information when you walk in the door. It is able to record when you enter and leave rooms, and can switch the lights, television and music off                    .

The Smart Home is made entirely of recyclable and renewable materials. The furniture is made from used light bulbs, plastic bottles and other renewable materials, but you can’t tell from just looking at them. The kitchen countertops (工作台面) are made of recycled glass.

The entire house is designed to control the use of energy. The roof of the Smart Home has a sustainable vegetable garden, which does little harm to nature. Even the personal computer is green: it uses less power than a 60-watt light bulb. The house can raise and lower the window shades by itself.

1.What is the text mainly about? (no more than 8 words)

认真阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意:每空一词。

Focusing in class really proves to teachers that you are a capable student but it also shows that you have got a solid level of self-control, which will be very important in your future life.

Get a good night’s sleep. Students should get at least nine hours of sleep each night. However, it’s hard to maintain those good sleep habits. Set a bedtime routine, and go to bed at the same hour each night. Your mind will not be able to concentrate if it’s not rested...it needs a break!

Eat a healthy breakfast. Although this may seem irrelevant to focusing during class, eating a nutritious meal in the morning gives you fresh energy for the day. If you consume a big meal, you’ll feel better throughout the day.

Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it. This shows the teacher that you’re listening carefully during the class.

Do your best. When you walk into that classroom, put a smile on your face and some confidence in your pocket.

Listen to music during your break. It is very refreshing and it can clear your mind between subjects, which could improve your productivity. But don’t get too carried away with the music.

Warnings:

Keep away from your more talkative friends. They can often distract you from your work.

Don’t stare at the teacher for too long. This might not let you work properly. In short, look at the teacher, but don’t overdo it.

1. to focus more in class

2.

Get a good sleep.

Although it’s a 3. to maintain those good sleep habits, you should make it a 4. to go to bed at the same hour each night.

Eat a healthy breakfast.

Eating a nutritious meal in the morning makes you 5. for the day.

6. yourself in class discussions.

This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student.

Do your best.

Enter the classroom with smile and 7..

Listen to music.

Music is refreshing and makes you more 8..

Warnings
