Today, I felt terrible---my head was full of problems and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?” That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, “I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.” The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.” Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, “Thank you so much for doing this.” Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, “You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing! My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. 【1】Why did the girl want to polish shoes for the old man? A.To support the old man’s business. B.To show her pity on the old man. C.To earn money to buy something to her brother. D.To attract the attention of passers-by to buy more shoes. 【2】What can we know about the old man from the passage? A.He has not enough to eat and wear. B.He is very cold to others. C.He is a kind and generous man. D.He is in a poor health condition. 【3】What words can be described the girl’s character? A.Friendly and caring. B.Greedy and kind. C.Enthusiastic and impatient. D.Mean and sad. 【4】What may the author learn from the old man? A.Compared with helping others, personal sadness is not important. B.One should live by one’s own work not by others’ help. C.One shouldn’t look down upon the one who needs help. D.Even though one has little, he should try to help others. |

Adults perform better when they have a lot to gain or lose. But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs. The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones. As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes. Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications. Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years. The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood. Nerve pathways - think of them as the brain’s “wiring” - connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood. 【1】Which of the following can explain Insel’s research? A.Teens ignore key points in many aspects. B.Adults behave better with higher rewards. C.Teens give more attention to exams than usual work. D.Adults behave more maturely than children in every way. 【2】What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to? A.The final results of games or experiments. B.The things that can be gained or lost in races. C.The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games. D.The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain. 【3】From the passage, we can know ___________. A.the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakes B.teens have better performances in the first rounds C.adults care less about the experiment at first D.adults and teens show differently with high stakes 【4】Which is the best title of the passage? A.Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakes B.Who perform better, adults or children? C.Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passion D.Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly |

Driverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self-sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency. One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has designed to build an autonomous ship expected to launch next year. The ship is fully electric to reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry containers normally transported by truck. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year. Yara plans to operate the ships by remote control beginning sometime next year. By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. Another company focusing on self-sailing ships is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoke about the technology. He said, “I believe automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future.” Autonomous ships offer important chances to improve safety and provide better efficiency outcomes to the marine supply chain.” He added that self-sailing ships could become a reality within the next decade. Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Oskar Levander is the company’s head of marine operations. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when.” Several shipping companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to develop self-sailing ships expected to be used by 2025. These ships will be equipped with technology to collect weather and sea data. They will then use the data to plan out the safest, shortest and most fuel-efficient route. 【1】What advantages does the driverless ship have according to the passage? A.Environmental friendly. B.Without noise. C.Low cost. D.Having stronger ship body. 【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.Australia’s BHP Billiton is the world’s largest ship company. B.The ships will work almost automatically by 2020. C.Bhatti isn’t sure of the future of driverless ship. D.Self-sailing ships will be used in a couple of years. 【3】What attitude does Oskar Levander have to the new driverless ship? A.Unsure. B.Doubtful. C.Sure. D.Objective. 【4】Where is probably the passage taken from? A.A physics textbook. B.A travel booklet. C.An advertisement. D.A science report. |

Here are some ways of encouraging a friend to get through a difficult time. 1. Make contact. When you find out that someone is going through a crisis, get in contact with them as soon as possible. If the person is far away, make a phone call or send an email. 【1】 This is especially important if they’re dealing with an illness that makes it difficult to leave the house. 2. Listen to them without judgment. People need to tell their stories in their own time. Of course you’re going to have opinions about their situation. 【2】 Focus on your friend, so they work through the healing process. 3. Offer practical help. Instead of offering advice, what you can offer is some actual help. This can make a huge difference for them. 【3】 Help them out with some chores like doing their grocery shopping for them, helping clean their house, and taking their dog for a walk. 4. 【4】 When someone is going through a difficult life event, the basic functions of life tend to get forgotten. They possibly forget to eat or stop caring for their appearance. Remind them to do things like shower, and exercise. 5. Don’t take over their life. Taking over their life may overwhelm them. 【5】 Don’t just take your friend to dinner, ask them where and when they want to dine. Letting them make decisions, even if they’re small decisions, can go long way towards reclaiming their power. A.Even doing some little things can make a difference. B.You should offer options to them. C.Sometimes visiting someone in person is also effective. D.You should use your past experiences to help them. E.But it isn’t always necessary to share your advice. F.It’s better to be there for them. G.Encourage your friend to keep up with the life basics. |
