When I was eight, I wanted a toy and needed $10 to buy it. But, as usual, I was broke. I decided to ask my 11-year-old sister, Kathleen, for a loan. I went to her room, ______ her for the cash. Laughing, she agreed to lend me the money, but added, “I will charge you 10 percent compound interest (复利) every ______ until you pay me back.” “Compound interest — what’s that?” I asked. “Well, interest is what you call the ______ money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,” she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the ______ you take to pay back the loan. To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your ______ will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be changing you interest on $11. Then I will add that interest to the $11 you already owe me, for a ______ of $12.10. That’s what you’ll owe me after two months.” “Sure, I get it,” I said. Though truthfully, I was getting ______. Kathleen lent me the money, and I bought the toy. My birthday came a month later, and my mom gave me $10. ______, that was just the amount I needed to buy another toy I wanted ______. I put off paying my sister for a month. However, after another months I ______ about the loan. Several months later, on Christmas morning, my sister and I each found a $20 bill in our stockings. I was just putting it into my pocket ______ Kathleen tapped me on the shoulder. “Sorry, kiddo. That’s mine. I’m ______ on your debt.” “Huh?” Then I ______ the loan. “Hey! How can it be that much? I ______ borrowed $10.” “True,” she said, “but interest has been compounding for eight months. Now you ______ me $21.43.” She paused, then added. “You can pay me the $1.43.” I ______ to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my ______, my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.

Many cities in the world are benefiting from the nocturnal (夜间活动的) activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游击队的) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades arid a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of colon. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants. In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploit of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion. Not only do the guerilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesn’t look dismal in the winter months. The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty concrete pots, placed by the local government to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block. He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢复活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition. 【1】According to the text, guerrilla gardeners got their names ________. A.because of the residents’ advice B.from the local government C.for the nature of their work D.based on the local cultures 【2】These guerrilla gardeners do their work ________. A.at the request of the government B.nearby their house C.often in return for others’ help D.of their own free will 【3】Why do the guerrilla gardeners often return to their former working place? A.To look after these plants. B.To enjoy these beautiful flowers. C.To help plants live through winter months. D.To change the types of these plants. 【4】Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants with the purpose of ________. A.making the neighborhood more beautiful B.agreeing with his own job C.advertising some products in his agency D.killing his spare time 【5】It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners ________. A.are mainly from the United Kingdom B.will later get well paid C.are still not accepted by the local people D.become more and more organized |

For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They’re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction. Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who’re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic. But the most cutting-edge(最前沿) tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking. Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors’ learning. The agents’ questions compel(强迫) student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action. Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive(获得) pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment. 【1】What are researchers rediscovering through their studies? A.Seneca’s thinking is still applicable today. B.Better learners will become better teachers. C.Human intelligence tends to grow with age. D.Philosophical thinking improves instruction. 【2】How does teaching others benefit student tutors? A.It makes them aware of what they are strong at. B.It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching. C.It helps them learn their academic subjects better. D.It enables them to better understand their teachers. 【3】What do we learn about Betty’s Brain? A.It is a character in a popular cartoon. B.It is a teaching tool under development. C.It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D.It is a tutor for computer science students. 【4】What do students do to teach their teachable agents? A.They motivate them to think independently. B.They ask them to design their own questions. C.They encourage them to give prompt (迅速的) feedback. D.They use various ways to explain the materials. 【5】What is the key factor that eases student tutors’ learning? A.Their sense of responsibility. B.Their emotional involvement. C.The learning strategy acquired. D.The teaching experience gained. |

A new batch of young women — members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation — has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been — or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers. While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender. As Millennial women come of age(成年) they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs(权衡) that go with work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man’s world — just as middle-aged and older women do. 【1】What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers? A.They can get ahead only by striving harder. B.They expect to succeed just like Millennial men. C.They are generally quite optimistic about their future. D.They are better educated than their male counterparts. 【2】How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace? A.They are the target of discrimination. B.They find it satisfactory on the whole. C.They think it needs further improving. D.They find their complaints ignored. 【3】What do Millennial women value most when coming of age? A.A sense of accomplishment. B.Job stability and flexibility. C.Rewards and promotions. D.Joy derived from work. 【4】What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about? A.The welfare of their children. B.The narrowing of the gender gap. C.The fulfillment of their dreams in life. D.The balance between work and family. 【5】What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey? A.They still view this world as one dominated by males. B.They account for half the workforce in the job market. C.They see the world differently from older generations. D.They do better in work than their male counterparts. |

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”. So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is the body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures. Some of these differences may be only on the surface — dress, food and hours of work — while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business. Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality. If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country. 【1】Why did the author feel sad about what the head of the Personal Department said?(no more than 10 words) 【2】What does the phrase “on the surface” in Paragraph 3 mean? (no more than 10 words) 【3】According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?(no more than 10 words) 【4】In the example mentioned in Paragraph 4, why do people from different countries arrived at different times?(no more than 15 words) 【5】Suppose an exchange student from USA lived with your family, how would you help him to get used to the cultural difference? Give your reason. (no more than 20 words) |
