My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent， I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried， the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year， it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser， and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God， I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word， I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son， but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other and of the line. The headmaster seriously said， “Thank you for your time”， and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally， he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year， I attended a parent –– teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home， he said， “Mum， remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said， it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

Starting from this month， you won’t be hearing the word “NBA” on sports programs on CCTV. Instead， sport hosts will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA – National Basketball Association. You also won’t hear any other English abbreviations（缩写式）on CCTV’s Chinese programs， such as GDP (gross domestic product) or WTO (World Trade Organization). You will hear their Chinese translations.

CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio， Film and Television， telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their reports to protect the “purity” of the Chinese language. A few other TV stations also received the notice.

Fu Zhenguo， an editor of People’s Daily， is one of the people who proposed（提议）the change. “Using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law，” he said. “Using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don’t understand English. It will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers.”

But some experts have a different opinion. Liu Yaoying， a professor at the Communications University of China， said the move shows cultural conservatism（保守主义）. “If Western countries can accept some Chinglish（中国式英语）words， why can’t the Chinese language be mixed with English?” Liu said.

A lot of people have criticized the move， saying that it will cause problems for them.

“I understand what CD， VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I won’t know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products’ full Chinese names，” a person wrote in a BBS post. Following the same post， another person wrote jokingly： “I’m not listening to my MP3 now. I’m listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3.

Some people also question why CCTV is keeping its logo， since it is also an English abbreviation.

2. Which of the following is an abbreviation of an organization?

A. DVD                B. WTO         C. GDP               D. VCD

3.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “criticized”?

A. 阻止               B. 赞同         C. 表扬               D. 批评

4.From the passage， we know that.

A. Not all the people are satisfied with the move.

B. All the people are pleased with the move.

C. CCTV has given up its logo.

D. The Chinese language can’t be mixed with English .

5. The seventh paragraph shows

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other， and paining（疼痛）too. In India， most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America， there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）， weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need， says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present， the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann， the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University， where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper， and the smell of the black ink?

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa， Italy. He was the oldest of five children in a worker’s family. He enjoyed going to the sea when he was a young boy.

He heard that there was a lot of gold and other valuable things in East India. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. On August 3， 1492， he sailed toward the west from Palos， Spain with three ships. After many days， the sailors had covered a long distance on the sea and were ready to turn around for home when they saw land， an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there “Indians”. When they got to Cuba， he thought he was in Japan. The world was a lot larger than he thought.

In his life， he made four trips across the ocean. His 13-year-old son， Ferdinand， went with him during the last time. He returned to Spain in 1504. Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension(退休金) the king and the queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He died in 1506， still believing that he had found a new route to East India and that he had reached Asia.

Columbus didn’t get to school very much， but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He is remembered by all not only for the New World he discovered， but also for the way he led for other explorers.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or， in summer， they may think it is the heat. However， the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.

Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world， people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates， where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional， people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people， unfortunately， have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps， employers do not allow it!

If you do have the chance， however， here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time， try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

1.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?

A. Because it’s very hot in summer.

B. Because you eat too much for lunch.

C. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.

D. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.

2.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?

A. If your time is limited， a short nap can also help.

B. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.

C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.

D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.

3.What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?

A. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.

B. Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summer.

C. If you take naps every day， you’ll have less risk of heart disease.

D. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.

4.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.

B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.

C. If you get up at 6：30 am， you’d better take a nap at about 2：30 pm.

D. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Just For a Rest.

B. A1l For a Nap.

C. A Special Sleep Pattern.

D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

Sixty years ago， human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma， known as Mount Everest in the West. But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.

Every year， more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish， including oxygen bottles， broken tents， and plastic bags， according to Ang Tshering Sherpa， chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川)，” Sherpa said.

More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem， Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15，000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.

On the Chinese side of the mountain， Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.

As a young woman， my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely， although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam， and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe， my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed， experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me， it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while， but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.
