I quickly got dressing and ran out of the bathroom, only find a big fire on the third floor of our flat building. Luckily, most of the people, including my family, have left the building by the time the firefighters arrived. But a baby along with his parents were still trapped in a flat on the fourth floor. The firemen were true great. Some put out the fire but the others managed to rescue the parents and their baby. We are really grateful for the brave firefighters who risked their own lives to save ourselves.

In the face of these setbacks, some people seem to fall apart, while others find ways to move forward and continue to get things done. Are there things you can do to be resilient (有适应力的)? 1. Understand what you can control and what you can’t. The first is to be clear about what factors are under your control. 2. As you are occupied in those actions, you will find that you feel better about your work and will also be more productive. Surround yourself with people even if you don’t feel like it.

Textbooks represent an 11 billion dollar industry, up from $8 billion in 2014. Textbook publisher Pearson is the largest publisher-of any kind-in the world. It costs about $1 million to create a new textbook. A freshman textbook will have dozens of contributors, from subject-matter experts through art editors to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that alternatives, such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not. This connection happens not only by means of cooperative development, review and testing, but also at conferences where all the teachers of a school regularly decide on their textbooks and curricula for the coming year. It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be chalked up to the unreasonably high cost of their books-which has increased over 1000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in order. But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself. While they may not be as dynamic as an iPad, textbooks are not passive or lifeless. For example, over the centuries, they have simulated (模拟) dialogues in a number of days.From 1800 to the present day, textbooks have done this by posing questions for students to answer inductively (归纳性地). That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to general questions. Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you were born with?” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you threw carelessly will land?” Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, engaging with a textbook can be an interactive experience. Readers progress at their own pace. They “customize (定制)” their books by engaging with different layers and linkages. Highlighting, Post-It notes, dog-ears and other techniques allow for further customization that students value in print books over digital forms of books. 1.What does the passage say about open educational resources? A.They don’t profit as much as traditional textbooks do. B.They can’t connect professors and students as textbooks do. C.They contribute to teaching as much as to learning. D.They compete fiercely for customers with textbook producers. 2.What are students expected to do in the learning process? A.Give answers showing their distinctive personality. B.Ask questions based on their own understanding. C.Think carefully before answering each question. D.Answer questions using their personal experience. 3.What do experts say about students using textbooks? A.They can purchase customized versions. B.They can digitalize the prints easily. C.They can learn in an interactive way. D.They can adapt the material themselves. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Textbooks Are Expensive to Create B.Textbooks Are Active and Interactive C.Textbooks Are Not Going Away D.Textbooks Are Suffering Poor Sales
Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless gadget (小装置) may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected security camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together? “It’s certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to fix,” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s foremost manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what etiquette (礼仪) emerges in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preferences. She also wants to explain that there are no right or wrong answers regarding manners on this front yet, because the technology is just now becoming mainstream. Besides, the Emily Post Institute doesn’t enforce manners. When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. “I am always a fan of being open and honest.” For instance, if the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable. However, if a contractor (承包商) is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the air of responsibility that the camera generates can also work in contractors’ favor. “If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it,” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.” 1.For what reason may your friends feel unwilling to visit your home? A.They don’t want their photos to be circulated on the Internet. B.The security camera fixed may invade their privacy. C.The security camera may turn out to be harmful to their health. D.They may not be willing to interact with your family members. 2.What does Lizzie Post say is new territory? A.Etiquette around home security cameras. B.The effect of manners advice on the public. C.Cost of applying new technologies at home. D.The increasing use of home security devices. 3.What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing regarding the use of home security cameras? A.Moral standards and immoral issues. B.Likes and dislikes of individuals. C.Legal rights and duties of guests. D.The possible impact on manners. 4.In what way can the home security camera benefit visitors to your home? A.It can satisfy their curiosity. B.It can help them learn new technology. C.It can make their visit more enjoyable. D.It can prove their innocence.
In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a matchbox. “Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river. Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope (坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle. As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed (嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way. Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this? Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted (咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it-the wonderful sound of rushing water! 1.Why did Steve shout for Zach suddenly? A.They got injured. B.They lost their dog. C.They were trapped. D.They became separated. 2.What did Brady intend to do when he ran away from Steve? A.To seek help. B.To find a way out. C.To rescue Zach. D.To escape for life. 3.How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans? A.Uneasy. B.Impatient. C.Numb. D.Uncertain. 4.What does the passage basically describe? A.An adventure. B.An exploration. C.An escape game. D.A training program.

阅读下面有关内容，请从 A—F 选项中选出符合各段段意的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。 Tips for Learning English 1. The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it— again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. 2. The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English”. 3. There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm (节奏) or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. 4. This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. 5. Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun. However, if you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you’ve learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. A.Use All of Your Resources B.Speak Without Fear C.Watch English Films and Television D.Do Exercises and Take Tests E.Surround Yourself with English F.Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible
If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因的) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 1.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ___________. A.more and more people will watch TV B.newspapers will cover more scientific research C.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news D.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer 2.From the passage, we can infer that _____________. A.the writer believes some media will die out B.television will take the place of the newspaper C.newspapers will stay with us together with other media D.newspapers will win the competition among the different media 3.The underline phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “ ___________”. A.depend on B.compete with C.fight with D.kill off 4.What is the best title for this passage? A.The Best Way to Get News B.Make Your Own Newspaper C.The Changes of Media D.The Future of Newspaper
Researchers from Arizona State University (ASU) published their latest report. When men expressed their opinions with anger, people considered them more believable. But when women expressed anger, they were viewed as more emotional and, thus, less convincing. In other words, a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion. A woman, however, could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger. The study was based on the responses of 210 students. They were shown evidence online from a murder (谋杀) trial. A man was said to have murdered his wife. The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not. Before making their decisions, the students discussed the case online with five jurors (陪审员). But these jurors were computers generating responses and comments. Some of the jurors had made identities. Others had female identities. Some male jurors were anger about the verdict (裁决). When this happened, the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case. Confidence in their responses on the verdict dropped. However, when female jurors seemed angry, the students became more confident in their original verdicts. Jessica Salerno, a psychologist and co-author of the study, said, “Our results provide something important for any woman who is trying to have an influence on a decision in her workplace and everyday life.” In a political debate, a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger. In the entertainment world, actor Jennifer Lawrence recently wrote that women and men in Hollywood get the opposite reactions when expressing their opinions angrily. “All I hear and see are men speaking their opinions,” she wrote. “When I give mine in the quite similar manner, you would have thought I said something annoying.” 1.What’s the new finding from the ASU report? A.Men usually do harm to angry women. B.Women are more likely to become angry. C.People prefer to believe the angry women. D.Angry men appear to gain influence in a group. 2.In the study, the students would be sure about their decisions when_________. A.male jurors agreed with them B.they became angry with the jurors C.angry female jurors didn’t agree with them D.angry male jurors showed opposite opinions 3.Jessica Salerno thinks the study ____________. A.helps women avoid losing influence B.asks men to get away from angry women C.causes men to change their attitude to women D.shows men and women should be treated equally 4.The author supports Jessica Salerno by _____________. A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules C.making comparisons D.giving examples
If this isn’t true love then we don’t know what it is. High school sweethearts Leonard and Hazel Cherry passed away last Thursday just hours apart, a sweet ending to their 74-year together. The couple were married in 1942 in Muldoon, Texas. Following their wedding ceremony at the start of World War II, Leonard enlisted in the Army Air Corps and became a B-24 bomber pilot. Luckily for the couple, he was never far from home as he was stationed at Carswell Army Air Corps Base in Fort Worth training others how to fly. Meanwhile, Hazel was a stay-at-home mom taking care of their only son, David. Once the war was over, Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth before opening an auto repair business in 1949, which the couple ran together for 31 years. The couple finally moved to Woodstock, Texas in 1980 to be close to their son and grandchildren. In their final days, Leonard who was 95, was placed at the St. Catherine Center, a hospice (临终安养院) in Waco, Texas, while 93-year-old Hazel, who was in good health, had just moved into the village at Providence Park, a facility right next door to her husband’s. Then on October 27, Leonard passed away just before 1 p.m. and his wife died just 10 hours later at 11 p.m. “Every time I began to think about it, I began to smile because of how much they loved each other. In my mind my grandfather was waiting for her in heaven with open arms,” Craig Cherry told KWTX. “Even in his ninety-fifth year, he still, when he talked about her, had a sparkle (闪烁 的光) in his eye. A memorial service for them is scheduled for this Friday and I’m sure there won’t be a dry eye in the house.” 1.What is the correct order for the events in the story about Leonard? ① Leonard got married. ② Leonard became a bomber pilot. ③ Leonard moved to Woodstock, Texas. ④ Leonard opened an auto repair business. ⑤ Leonard worked as an auto body repairman in Fort Worth. A.①②⑤④③ B.①⑤③④② C.②①③⑤④ D.②①⑤④③ 2.Why did Hazel move into the village at Providence Park? A.Because she wanted to live independently. B.Because she wanted to receive medical care. C.Because she wanted to accompany her husband. D.Because she wanted to be close to her son and grandchildren. 3.According to Craig Cherry,____________. A.he felt happy because they lived long B.Hazel died because of her deep love for Leonard C.everyone would feel extremely sorrowful for the loss D.the couple had affection for each other only at their advanced age 4.What’s the best title for this passage? A.The Loving Couple B.The Long-lived Couple C.A Sudden Death of Hazel D.Die Hours Apart for Love
