There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day that I was fishing with a friend of mine at nearby pond. I slipped into one. If my friend had not come to my rescue, I would have been drowned. Ever since then, I had come to know the importance of learning to swim. I decided to learn to swim. I didn’t attend to any training class but learned it all for myself. And now I have no difficulty swimming at all. Because the way I swim looks awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me floating. Thinking of this, I feel quite satisfying.

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 1. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun. This is life: full of chances and challenges. 2. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. 3. Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. 4. So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again. I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 5.It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary. A.At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. B.I suddenly knew what competition was. C.Now I understand more about the world. D.In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve. E.I learned a lot from realizing this fact. F.However, I remembered my parents’ words: “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.” G.Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises.
Encouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help. Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional children’s games can be adapted to encourage reading skills. While reading or during play, tell your child, “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter ‘b’.” Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example, “I see a barn.” This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds. “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the sound‘s’.” Help the child find a word that begins with the “s” sound. In this variation(变化) on the popular game, instruct the child that, “Simon says, ‘point to something that starts with the letter ‘n’.’” The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds. Make a game out of rhyming (押韵) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the child’s name or favorite toys. This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another. Tips to raise a successful reader: Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easily accessible, children are more likely to pick them up. Let children “read to you” by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures. Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor’s office or grocery store. Have children help you shop. Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items help build vocabulary. 1.Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. A good reading habit can benefit your child at school. B. Computer games help children develop reading skills. C. You should be careful as for what books to read. D. Children enjoy reading poems to their parents. 2.What can we conclude from the text? A. The most important thing is to make reading funny. B. Children have a preference for stories with pictures. C. Rhyming games should begin only with real words. D. Children tend to read more if books are at hand. 3.What message does the author deliver in the passage? A. Interest is the best teacher B. Practice makes perfect C. Good methods are half done D. Failure teaches success 4.What are the intended readers of the text? A. Parents. B. Children C. Educators. D. People in general.
If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills. There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions. Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study. 1.By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ____________. A. shared the jokes with computer majors B. earned as much as computer majors C. stopped joking about computer majors D. found jobs more easily than computer majors 2.Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ____________. A. are ready to change when situations change B. are better able to deal with difficulties C. are equally good at computer skills D. are likely to give others pressure 3.The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ____________. A. keep for some time B. successfully get C. immediately start D. lose regretfully 4.According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs? A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge. C. Skills in expressing themselves. D. Part-time work experience.
I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me. After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while. I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment. Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me! When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience. 1.The reason why the author hated to eat in the hotel restaurant is that the author didn’t like ____________. A. the discomfort caused by eating alone B. being disturbed by the noises around C. meeting strangers in the restaurant D. being pointed at or laughed at 2.How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25? A. Dissatisfied. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Angry. 3.From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ____________. A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant B. found it hard to balance his work and his family C. was getting tired of his present job D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries 4.The author wants to tell us that ____________ . A. people can get help for their loneliness B. restaurants should put the need of customers first C. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonely D. restaurants are full of surprises

Millions of Chinese people have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. 1.. You prepare food and tools for its trips, and the frog sends you postcards while it’s away. The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people feel these days, according to Xinhua News Agency. 2., and playing the game helps them forget their loneliness for a short time. 3.. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of US adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported. This might be why the UK government announced in January that it had created the job of “minister for loneliness (孤独大臣)”. 4., while the minister’s office plans to spend money on activities to bring people together. 5.. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own, making us feel lonely and left out. But we should remember that there’s no need to feel lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” A. Loneliness seems to be a common problem today B. Travel Frog is a mobile game known for its peaceful nature C. In the game, you act as the “parent” of a frog that lives alone and enjoys traveling D. The minister’s job is to find ways to help British people feel less lonely E. Many players say that the lonely frog is just like them F. The loneliness problem may be partly due to social media G. Loneliness is believed to be harmful to people’s health
Thanks to software like Apple’s Siri or Microsoft’s Cortana, it’s easier than ever to do something on our phone or computer. All we have to do is talk, and our favorite song starts playing a few seconds later. But in the near future, asking our phone to play a song by using our voice will seem as old-fashioned as using CDs. That’s because US tech company Microsoft recently applied for a patent (专利) for a “brain control interface” (BCI), meaning that soon, we may be able to control our phone and computer with our thoughts. BCI technology works by converting (转化) brain signals into computer commands, similar to how pressing a certain key on a keyboard is converted into an electrical signal.This technology isn’t brand new, however. Last year, for example, it was reported that scientists were able to help a paralyzed man from the US, 53-year-old Bill Kochevar, to move again.To do this, Kochevar was fitted with BCI technology, as well as equipment to make his muscles move. After a few weeks of getting used to it, Kochevar was able to use his thoughts to “tell” the BCI to move his muscles, meaning he was able to feed himself for the first time in years. Aside from helping disabled people, it’s hoped that BCI technology will improve the daily lives of other people too. US social networking platform Facebook announced last year that it was working on BCI technology to help people type by using their brain. By 2019, the company hopes to have created a system that will allow people to type up to 100 words per minute just by thinking about them. In turn, this could be used to offer live translation, from English to Chinese, for example. However, many people are worried that technology that can read our thoughts will create privacy (隐私) issues, especially if social media companies are involved. But Facebook researcher Regina Dugan said at a conference last year that the company has no interest in reading people’s random thoughts. “That might be more than any of us care to know. And it’s not something any of us should have a right to know,” she said. 1.What can BCI technology do? A. It converts our voice into computer commands. B. It offers a live translation service for people. C. It allows our thoughts to control certain equipment. D. It controls our brain signals with a computer. 2.How does Kochevar probably feel about BCI technology? A. Disappointed. B. Thankful. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud. 3.Who else could benefit from BCI technology besides disabled people, according to the article? A. Bus drivers. B. Medical workers. C. Social media users. D. Shop assistants. 4.Why are some people worried about BCI technology? A. It might do harm to their health. B. Their privacy might not be respected. C. It might take away too many job opportunities. D. The equipment may be too expensive for ordinary
