One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 16 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 17 understood or the girl had not 18 him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” 19 the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know 20 to say. What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t 21 a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She 22 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 23 , people will feel proud and 24 when they are praised . So if someone says the 25 you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.” In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing , but in my opinion, being confident does not 26 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident 27 being modest. 28 you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 29 . When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will 30 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence. 1.A. excited B. surprised C. relaxed D. frightened 2.A. itself B. herself C. himself D. themselves 3.A. heard B. watched C. listened to D. looked at 4.A.

“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago. After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康复). After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (绝望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong. At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless. Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed. So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams. (382 words) 1.What’s the writer’s present job? A. A singer. B. A typist . C. A professor . D. An interpreter. 2.What does the underlined word “insomnia” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese? A. 失眠 B. 失忆 C. 麻木 D. 低烧 3.All of the following words can be used to describe the writer’s present life EXCEPT___________. A. helpful B. meaningful C. painful D. hopeful 4.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE? A. She gets a lot of help through her blogs. B. She is in love with a young man at present. C. She got medical treatment soon after the accident. D. She had no job and earned little before the accident.

Ever thought of moving to a new country? How about starting a new country? Patri Friedman is planning to do just that. He left Google years ago to set up the Seasteading Institute. And his dream is to build seasteads-----floating micro-nations in the middle of the ocean. So, what will life on a seastead be like? Probably a bit like life on a cruise liner (游轮), but much larger, with shops, gyms, swimming pools, schools and other areas. In fact, the early seasteads may actually be specially-rebuilt cruise liners. But as science advances, Friedman believes they’ll become more like floating cities, with several hundred people. Seasteading raises a lot of questions. First of all, how will the new countries make money? The Seasteading Institute has suggested several money-making ideas, including ocean-based theme parks, casinos (赌场) and fish farming. There’s also the questions of safety. With storms, typhoons and pirates (海盗) , the high seas are a dangerous place. However, the Institute says that it can stand bad weather and prevent crimes with its well-designed systems. So, is this just a day dream? Well, maybe not. One of the people behind the project is Peter Thiel. He founded PayPal and was one of the first investors (投资者) in Facebook. So far, he’s donated $ 500,000 to the project. And Friedman isn’t wasting any time. He recently announced the creation of the Poseidon Award. This will be given to the first seastead with fifty people. Friedman is hoping to hand out the award in 2015. 1.Where did Friedman use to work? A. In Facebook. B. In Seastead Institute . C. In PayPal. D. In Google. 2.A future seastead may be most likely to look like ___________________. A. a cruise liner B. a floating city C. a theme park D. a fishing farm 3.What can we infer from the passage? A. Friedman is planning to move to a new country. B. Friedman is worried about the safety of seasteads. C. Friedman has got some supporters for his project. D. Friedman has already won the Poseidon Award. 4.Which of the following can be the best titles of this passage? A. Seasteading: a new idea of living B. Seasteading: a wild way of farming C. Peter Thiel: a man behind the project D. Patri Friedman: a crazy day dreamer

请认真阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填入适当的单词(注意：每空1个单词)。 CCTV cameras watch action
In UK , Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe. But that’s not all they do . They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things. One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale. She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of sudden , she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pickup Lola and drops her into a large dustbin . Lola was saved fifteen hours later. And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal . She was fined ( 罚款)￡250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years. Another video shows “ Britain’s drunkest man” . He’s been at a party at London’s Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m. , he was kicked out for being too drunk . So, he decided to walk home. On the way , CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly… A Savoy Hotel waiter said, “ It’s amazing he didn’t hurt himself badly.” Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn’t have any money to make a music video. So , they came up with an unbelievable idea. They set up their instruments ( 乐器) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then, according to the English Freedom of Information Act , they asked for a copy of all the footages ( 视频) , which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made, and it didn’t cost them a penny. Title: CCTV cameras catch action
