Emily Temple-Wood was 12 years old the first time she was bullied(欺凌) online. They left ugly comments on her Wikipedia and Facebook pages about her looks “that would make my mother’s hair curl.” says Temple-Wood, now 22 and in medical school. The reason? “I was a woman on the Internet,” she said. Over the years, she considered how she might take revenge(复仇). Then, as a freshman in college, it hit her: “What do misogynists(men who hate women) hate most?” she asked herself. “Women who are productive!” Her solution: For every rude comment she received, Temple-Wood would post a biography(传记) of a woman scientist, and thus, in 2012, Wiki Project Women Scientists was born. She wrote about her heroes, like Barbara McClintock, who received the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and Caroline Still Anderson, one of the first African American women to become a doctor in the United States, in the late 1800s. With help from other women, many of them scientists who have also been bullied online, Temple-Wood has published hundreds of these biographies and women of all ages have taken notice. “When I was a kid, I could count the number of women scientists I knew about on one hand,” wrote Siko Bouterse, who used to work for the Wikimedia Foundation. “But our daughters have the chance to get much more knowledge about scientists who look like them because of Emily. The ugly comments still come, says Temple-Wood. Being a strong woman online is not easy. “We all have days when we break down and need to have a glass of wine,” she says. “I tell people who are being bullied that it’s OK to be sad. But now you need to find a productive way to take revenge.” 【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 1 shows a feeling of ______. A. shock B. disappointment C. excitement D. confidence 【2】How did Emily react to the ugly comments about her? A. She paid no attention to them. B. She posted about great women. C. She became a talkative woman. D. She learned from women scientists. 【3】What does Siko Bouterse think of Emily’s efforts? A. They are helpful. B. They are fruitless. C. They are creative. D. They are surprising. 【4】What does Emily Temple-Wood advise people to do? A. Sit down and have a glass of wine. B. Try hard to be a productive person. C. Never feel sad about ugly comments. D. Fight ugly comments in a positive way. |

When the fork was stolen off Bart Michiels’s mountain bike last summer, he wheeled it nearly three miles from his home in Chelsea to Frank’s Bike Shop on the eastern end of Grand Street. Mr. Michiels passed many other bike shops along the way, including one that offers free coffee. But for 20 years, he has remained devoted(忠实的) to Frank’s. “Frank’s the man,” he said of Frank Arroyo, the owner. “I don’t care where he is in the city --- I’ll go.” Mr. Michiels doesn’t have to worry about Mr. Arroyo’s relocating(搬迁). The shop has stayed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 40 years. After Mr. Michiels left, Marvin Priess arrived. A professor of chemistry and math, Mr. Priess wheeled in the Ross 18-speed he had bought at Frank’s in 1978 and still rides today, at age 68. Mr. Priess said that over the years, every single part of it that couldn’t be repaired had been replaced, sometimes more than once, at Frank’s. Customers don’t come for the ambience(环境). It’s crowded and dirty; buckets of parts and boxes of training wheels line the entryway. The store is filled with about 500 bikes and you will find Mr. Arroyo, 72, six days a week. He has been in the bike business since age 14. Born and raised on the Lower East Side, he has employed and taught many young people in the neighborhood. He is also willing to repair bikes in any condition, as well as his neighbors’ walkers and wheelchairs. English Epps, a lawyer, needed a new seat; his had been stolen. “I’ve been coming here since I was in the third grade,” he said, adding: “There’s a new bike shop on Delancey Street, but everybody comes here.” 【1】Why did Bart Michiels wheel his bike to Frank’s Bike Shop? A. It is near his home B. It offers free coffee. C. Its owner is his friend. D. Its service is excellent. 【2】What can we learn about Mr. Priess’s bike? A. It is too old to ride. B.

Be careful on January 8th --- It’s officially the most dangerous day of the year. The insurance company Hyperion has studied accident statistics (统计数字) and has found that there are more accidents on January 8th than on any other day. Accidents are certainly more likely to happen at particular times of the year. One general rule is that more accidents happen in winter months, because risk increases in bad weather. In 2004 and 2005 Hyperion found that the worst day was January 8th, with 298 accidents reported to them. March 3rd was the safest day, with only 89 reports. Six of the ten worst days for driving were in January. It’s clear that icy and snowy conditions are dangerous, but some other statistics are puzzling. A British Medical Journal report in 2001, for example, found that hospital admissions (住院) were always higher than usual on Friday the 13th. But it is not only when Friday falls on the 13th that it is a dangerous day. Four of the top ten worst days for accidents last year were Fridays --- perhaps because everyone is rushing home for the weekend --- while Thursdays are the safest day of the week. At what time of the day is an accident most likely to happen? The Health and Safety Authority found that people are most likely to have an accident at 11.00 a.m., while the safest time of day is between 4.00 and 5.00 a.m. --- probably because most people are in bed! Finally, good news for Harry Potter fans. Doctors at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford noted that fewer children were in hospital on the weekend when Harry Potter books were available to the public. Casualties (伤亡人员) fell by over 50% when the last two books went on sale. So if you want to be really safe, you should read a Harry Potter book in bed, at around 5.00 on a Thursday morning, in summer. 【1】What is special about January 8th according to Hyperion? A.More accidents happen than usual. B.The weather is often the worst. C.More people are rushed to hospital. D.It’s the safest day in winter months. 【2】Why are Fridays considered to be dangerous? A.Fridays often fall on the 13th. B.Busy weekdays tire people out. C.Everyone is in a hurry to go home. D.It’s easy to get caught in heavy traffic. 【3】What happened when there was a new Harry Potter book? A.It was the safest day of the year. B.People were more likely to go out. C.Fewer children ended up in hospital. D.The driving conditions were the worst. 【4】What is the purpose of this text? A.To show some research results. B.To give practical advice. C.To tell an interesting story. D.To solve a problem. |

Healthy habits that stick Here are five rules that helped me develop good habits. 1. Pick habits you honestly want to have I didn’t choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. 【1】 It was about listening to myself. 2. Build your habit your own way When I started to build up an exercise routine(习惯), I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 pm every day. 【2】 If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, I’d do only 20 minutes and then leave. 3. Start small I knew that if I tried to take on too much, I’d find a way to make an excuse. 【3】 I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realized that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day. 4. Be kind to yourself 【4】 When I got a cold and missed several days of exercise, I didn’t beat myself up. Instead of punishing myself, I tried to love myself --- and that had a more enjoyable and lasting effect. 5. Celebrate every small victory When I began keeping a diary every morning, I put a number in the corner of each page to show how many diaries I had written. 【5】 Finally, after I filled up a notebook, I celebrated buying a new notebook. A. If I missed a day, I let it go. B. I can make exercise less boring. C. So my daily purposes were very small. D. I celebrated my pen running out of ink. E.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Human beings are smart. However, it seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become more and more important assistants in their lives, reported news website Record Japan on Oct. 22. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities, said the website. The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smart phone contacts, there's no need to dial a number or look at it again. And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because navigation apps can guide people anywhere they want to go. These apps can even find shortest routes for you and avoid traffic jams. But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept(无能的）. People often bury themselves in their smart phones. As we're too addicted to what's happening in the virtual world, some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even tell whether a person is happy or not. In August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours' screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared. The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic (电子的) products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average. “If you’re not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills,” concluded professor Yalda Uhls from the research. Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents' numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic devices because we are social creatures. We need device-free time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
