Yue Lin used to leave the dormitory (宿舍)door wide open, especially as summer was coming. But now he has to keep reminding himself and his roommates to close the door. He has every reason to be. According to a local newspaper, in most school criminal cases, 80 percent are thefts. Dormitory safety becomes even serious on the graduation season. Students had better be careful with dormitory safety.
Room theft
According to the police, room theft has risen in the last two months. In March alone, many computers and cameras were stolen at Hainan University. Many students often leave their laptop(手提) on the desk ,chatting with friends in another room or going outside to buy some snacks. They don’t recognize the risk of living a “careless” life in their dormitory. They live in the dormitory as they live at home. They don’t see any danger. But from now on they should be careful.
Fire
Compared to other danger, a fire which may make students lose their lives are more serious. Recently, Yin Jiachen, 20, a student at the Beijing Institute of Technology, returned to her dormitory to smell burning plastic in the room. Luckily, she quickly found something burning. “If I had come back only a bit later, the room could have been ______ ________.” says Yin. Preventing fires has been the top safety in dormitories for years, but it’s still the biggest problem. Students aren’t allowed to use heaters and similar dangerous things in the dormitory. Besides, many schools start to provide air conditioners and heaters for students so that students don’t need to buy those that raise a safety risk.

One Sunday afternoon, I went shopping at Wal-Mart . But I never thought I would have a life changing experience at WalMart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I looked towards the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he listened to people carefully and then he would reply to what they had said
I thought it was strange. I has grown used to people asking me how I was doing simply out of conversational habit. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”
But that wasn't the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter (柜台), and hugged them with his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.”
The smiling looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name—Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton (沃尔玛的创始人)had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

The Chang’e-3, named after a Chinese goddess, is China’s first spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon. It contains a lander and a moon rover(月球车) called Yutu. The Chang’e-3 spacecraft is the second phase(阶段) China’s lunar programme, which includes orbiting, landing and returning to Earth. It follows the success of the Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 spacecraft in 2007 and 2010. The launch of Chang’e-3 was successful.
The Chang’e-3 is one of the most difficult tasks in China’s space programme, the news says. The news adds that exploring the universe(宇宙) and seeking peaceful use of space are dreams of Chinese for thousands of years.
With a lander and the moon rover Yutu, Chang’e-3 soft-landed(软着陆) on the moon at 9:11 p.m. Saturday. Yutu later separated(分离) from the lander and ran to the moon surface earlier Sunday.
China has chosen the name Yutu for its first moon rover, after a worldwide online poll(投票) attracted people to come up with names.
In Chinese folk tale, Yutu is the white pet rabbit of Chang’e, the moon goddess. Chang’e took her pet and flew toward the moon. She became a goddess and has lived there with the white animal ever since.
1.Which is the first spacecraft landed softly on the moon in China?
A.Chang’e-1 B. Chang’e-2
C. Chang’e-3 D. Yutu
2. From this passage, how many spacecraft have flown to the moon successfully.
A. Three B. Two C. One D. None
3. Who did the moon rover name after?
A. Chang’e B. the moon
C. the rabbit of Chang’e D. a little girl

5. The article may be found in __________.

A Korean(韩国的) wave is sweeping across China. Many Chinese women think South Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun(金秀贤) and Lee Min-ho(李敏镐) are their demigods(男神). Chinese people have different ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功劳) for that goes to You Who Came From The Star《来自星星的你》, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun(全智贤) and Kim Soo-hyun recently earned a popularity rating(收视率) of 24.8 percent in their country. You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(继承者们) have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves a woman and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs represent the purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people still love Cinderella-type(灰姑娘型的) stories.
However, Chinese TV screens are full of poorly made soap operas(肥皂剧). Most of the Chinese TV dramas either describe the War against Japanese or blindly copy foreign programs. There are too many TV series on time travel or fights in the palace of Qing Dynasty (清朝1644-1911). These, in short, do harm to Chinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas and give up their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.
1.Who is the main actor in the Korean TV dramas You Who Came From The Star?
A. Jun Ji-hyun B. Kim Soo-hyun

2. Why aren’t the Chinese dramas so popular as the Korean TV dramas?
A. The actors are not handsome.

3.Which is not mentioned(提及,涉及) in the passage?
A. The rating of the Korean drama The Heirs.
B. Many people in China are interested in Korean TV dramas.
C. Too many TV series on time travel do harm to Chinese TV productions.
D. The success will encourage Chinese TV drama makers to think of new ideas.
4.Which is not the common element in Korean TV dramas?
A. A handsome actor B. Two main actors love the same woman
C. Time travel D. Pure love story
