The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away, satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted. 1.A good title for this passage is ________. A. A Clever Assistant B.

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting annoyed, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he be focused while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be objects of stares. Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality features, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids and their ways of doing things. This way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being individuals. It makes us happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live life. 1.According to the passage, the author tried to keep his son seated so that ________. A. he could finish his homework on time B. he couldn’t bother the author C. he could pay more attention to his study D. he could keep silent in the room 2.Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________. A. the importance of parents B. the old form of education methods C. the relationship between kids and their parents D. the good grades of some kids 3.In the past, what kinds of children are unlovable? A. Those who are active and loud. B. Those who are obedient and calm. C. Those who are talkative and humorous. D. Those who are shy and careful. 4.What does the author think of teaching children? A. Encouragement is important. B. A fine example is necessary in the school. C. Children shouldn’t be punished. D. Children can not be taught in the same way.

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush and it lets you track your performance on your phone. The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection. The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor. The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for example, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart and fun,” Serval says. Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, from $99 to $199, and the U.S. is the first target market. 1.All of the following statements are wrong except ____________. A. It can sense how users brush their teeth. B. It can track users’ school performance. C. It can check users’ fear of seeing a dentist. D. It can help users find their phones. 2.What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3? A. You will find it meaningful to see a dentist. B. You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis. C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist. D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day. 3.What does the underlined sentence mean? A. You can use the toothbrush to update mobile phones. B. You can play games by using the tooth brush . C. Brushing teeth can kill some bacteria(细菌) in the mouth. D. Brushing teeth helps to play games better. 4.What can we infer about Serval’s children? A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth. B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes. C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head. D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

Daily to-do lists can help you get focused and organized. Follow these tips to create a good to-do list. Notice the order. It may help you to develop some sort of system for your to-do list. 1.. You can even use a number system and mark them from 1 to 5. Items that are marked 1 might be done later, while the 5s are tasks you should deal with first. Reduce the list. You need to complete tasks or part of tasks one step at a time. If you have 15minutes to spare, find something on the list that you can complete in that time period. 2., but several 15 minutes add up to something huge. Add in something fun. Your to-do list is no doubt full of things you may not like. That’s why adding in fun activities and tasks should also be important. A fun item doesn’t feel like work. It may even feel like a break. 3., you’ll be more active to get them done. Don’t list too much. It’s important not to overwhelm(压垮) yourself. 4.. If there’s too much on your plate or you have to work too fast, you can’t possibly enjoy yourself and you’ll only end up being frustrated and overwhelmed. 5.. Your list needs to be organized in a way that makes you feel comfortable. There are many choices nowadays. However, the old-fashioned pen and paper method may work best for you. You can also use the Internet or even your cellphone to keep your list organized. A.Keep it organized B.Avoid too much stress C.Write it down the night before D.Certainly every item on the list can’t be equally important E.You may think that 15 minutes is not enough to do something F.When you return to the less interesting items G.Everything that goes on your to-do list should be something important that you need to do
