Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it. Take the kitchen sink for example. Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink. “Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism. “Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!” But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?” A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective. Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.” “It looks absurd.” “Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.” “Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point. But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done. She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me. “Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!” Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through. 【1】The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her . A.laziness B.carelessness C.unhappiness D.poor-quality glasses 【2】From the passage we know the daughter . A.didn’t want to help with the sink B.didn’t like brown eyebrow pencils C.had an accident when she went to her first party D.shouted at her mum because she came home late 【3】How does the mother feel after all these have happened? A.Shocked. B.Proud. C.Envious. D.Confused. 【4】The author writes the stories to prove that . A.their relationship became stronger B.their roles changed as time passed C.her daughter very much cared about her D.her daughter got upset as she grew up

AFrom：jovangagic56@memail．com To：kmallory@LN．org Subject：Hi! Dear Mr．Mallory， I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July．I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK，but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations． Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh"．This is misleading as my accommodation was，in fact，situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs． In addition，the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park，another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars．Finally，on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh，and had in fact never visited the city before．I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures．In fact，I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street．This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving．Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring)，the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory． I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two weeks． Yours sincerely， Jovan Gagic 【1】Jovan wrote the email to __________． A．provide information B．share experiences C．express dissatisfaction D．raise expectations 【2】According to Jovan，the guide __________． A．organized cultural activities B．failed to perform duties C．had a good knowledge of the city D．received punishment for bad behavior 【3】What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr．Mallory? A．To make him feel sorry． B．To cause him worry． C．To bring him disappointment． D．To get him into trouble．

On March 28th, The New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online. In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The New York Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.” Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to The New York Times on all platforms. These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The New York Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays. The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to The New York Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit. However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by The New York Times to close what could be a giant loophole ( 漏 洞 ), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason. Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,” he said, adding that The New York Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience.” 【1】The author’s main purpose in the text is to______ . A.describe research findings B.make advertisements C.report a piece of news D.suggest a solution 【2】Why will The New York Times charge their online readers? A.It is the only way to offer better service to its readers. B.It wants to stay relevant in the social media world. C.It has too many readers coming from the other sites. D.It is seeking new financial sources for its development. 【3】Which group of people cannot read unlimited number of The New York Times articles? A.Those subscribing to the printed newspapers. B.Readers clicking through from Facebook. C.Those using Google research engine. D.Readers paying $35 a month. 【4】What challenge may the paywall bring to The New York Times? A.It may bring The New York Times more competition with the other media. B.It may lead to a giant loophole online for The New York Times. C.It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership. D.It may block the readers from the other websites.

Every time the results of the international PISA test are released, the United States gets another opportunity to whip itself for students’ unsatisfying performance. PISA is the Program for International Student Assessment, a test administered to students in 79 countries around the world. It allows critics on both sides of the school-reform debate to peer at the results of other nations, compare them to the U.S. outcomes and find examples that appear to confirm their own beliefs about why our 15-year-olds are not at the best in science, math and reading. Those opposed to standardized testing and accountability measures look at Finland’s high scores and point out that in that country, there are no mandatory standardized tests until the end of senior year of high school. Children are encouraged to play more. Their school days are shorter and no one attempts to hold teachers accountable according to a rigid set of rules. The students are given very little homework. The nation’s scores and ranking have slid over the past decade, but it still consistently outshines the U.S. Meanwhile, fans of more regular testing are likely to hold up Singapore and South Korea as models. Singapore’s curriculum is highly scripted and pretty much the same across the nation — something that the Obama administration hoped to achieve through its Common Core curriculum. Teachers continually prepare students for hard tests and depend heavily on worksheets and drills. South Korean families depend heavily on private tutoring to help their children perform well on high-stakes tests. Students in these two countries also outperform American students on the PISA test. But if Finland, Singapore and South Korea are all doing better than America, that suggests there may be a factor at play other than how students are taught. And indeed there is something that all three of these nations, and every other country that outranks America on the PISA test, have in common: lower rates of child poverty. “Socio-economically disadvantaged students across OECD countries are almost three times more likely than advantaged students not to attain the baseline level of proficiency (能力) in science,” PISA reported in a 2018 paper. Though America is by most measures a wealthy country, it is one with many poor people. A 2017 UNICEF report looked at the relative child poverty rates of 41 well-off nations. America ranked seventh from the bottom. “Because in every country, students at the bottom of the social class distribution perform worse than students higher in that distribution, U.S. average performance appears to be relatively low partly because we have so many more test takers from the bottom of the social class distribution,” A 2013 study by Stanford University researchers concluded. There’s no getting around it: This is a shameful situation in a developed, wealthy nation. When poverty equates to lower academic performance, people pass that poverty from one generation to the next. Until they are willing to face that problem and take bold measures against it, the nation’s rankings will always be limited. For various reasons, PISA results aren’t the ultimate measure of how well a nation’s schools are doing. But when it comes to measuring the effects of income inequality, PISA offers a powerful lesson for the United States: If they want a better educated population, they cannot ignore their culpability in allowing so many children to grow up in poverty. 【1】We can learn from the passage that PISA is a test______. A.administered to all the students around the world B.reflecting students’ ability in science, math and reading C.causing criticism from the educational authorities in the US D.held by the United Nations annually for 15-year-old students 【2】According to the passage, we can learn that_____ . A.The US government has taken measures to handle poverty issues. B.Scores of students from Finland in PISA have improved in recent years C.The case in Singapore is used as opposition against standardized testing D.For students in South Korea, the help from teachers in schools is not enough 【3】What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A.The 2013 study by Stanford University researchers. B.There are many test takers from lower class in the US. C.The US ranked the seventh among 41 well-off countries. D.The US average performance is poorer than other countries. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A.To present different opinions of the school-reform debate in the US. B.To argue poverty contributes to the low ranking of the US in PISA. C.To illustrate that the US students performed poorly academically. D.To compare the education systems in the US and other countries

This Is Why Dogs Spin Around Before They Poop Most dog owners have probably been puzzled and possibly impatient waiting for their dog to do its business. Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting. Luckily, the ultimate pet owners’ question may finally have been answered. A few theories have circulated about why dogs might circle before pooping, and most are similar to the reasons they spin before lying down. Trampling around in a circle would flatten the grass around, which would keep tall blades from trapping their waste and hitting their butt while they poop.【1】 But Czech researcher Hynek Burda didn’t quite buy into those theories.【2】 And if they were scanning their environment, keeping still to listen and sniff would be more effective than giving the area a quick once-over. Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull. The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are.【3】 In 2013, Burda published a study in the journal Frontiers in Zoology suggesting dogs have a strong internal compass, too. He and his team spent two years watching 70 dogs poop and pee and recording which way they faced and how strong the magnetic field was. As it turns out, when the magnetic field was calm, dogs preferred to poop facing either north or south.【4】 The pattern couldn’t explain why dogs like facing the Earth’s poles, but the researchers think it might help them remember where they marked their territory. “Doing so, and calibrating his magnetic compass, is probably easier for him when being aligned with the magnetic field,” Burda told the Washington Post. 【5】 So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that pet might just be getting scientific about his potty spot. A.For instance, it’s how birds know which way to migrate. B.When the magnetic field was less stable, they faced any direction. C.And when they’re done, this is why dogs kick up the lawn after they pee. D.Dogs evolved from wolves, which didn’t need to worry much about tall grass. E.For more weird dog habits, check out the 12 secrets your dog’s tail is trying to tell you. F.If they can remember which way they were facing, they might find it easier to find that spot again. G.Another explanation could be that they’re scanning for snakes and predators before they become completely occupied.
