Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. “I didn’t ________ it then, but honestly, when I ________, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.” What is success? Buddy, I don’t know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curve ball. Now it’s running a tenth of a mile ________ than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers ________ me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice ________, so is it a failure? I don’t know.

The Lion king musical theatre tickets in London Read our original review of The Lion King It’s one of the most beloved Disney films of all time, and for last two decades it’s been one of the main events of London’s West End. The magical, family-friendly stage version of The Lion King has been reigning supreme at the Lyceum Theatre since 1999, and shows no signs of quietening its roar. If you’ve not seen the classic Disney film, that’s close to sacrilege - but don’t worry, we can fill you in. a young cub called Simba tries to come to terms with the cruel death of his father Mufasa, at the same time as learning about the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as a king. It’s a bit like Hamlet, but with singing animals (and a happier ending). The musical is a must-see for any Londoner, whether you call the capital home or are just here for the weekend. The stunning visuals are pretty breathtaking whatever your age, but ingenious puppetry and intricate masks recreate the animal kingdom of Africa in a spectacle that your little lion clubs will never forget. Did you know? Julie Taymor, the shows director, created a number of puppets and masks for the show. She used many different styles, but had one rule: the performer should never be hidden by the device so the audience could see the humanity of the characters as well as what each performer was technically capable of. Where? Lyceum Theatre, 21 Wellington Street, WC2E 7RQ. Nearest underground stations are: Charing Cross, Covent Garden, Embankment, Leicester Square, Holborn and Temple. Performance dates and times: The Lion King is currently booking until September 30, 2019. Performances are Tuesday-Sunday, with matinees at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and evening performances at 7.30 p.m. (not Sunday). The running time of the show is two and a half hours with an interval. 【1】Where might this text probably come from? A.A biography. B.A science fiction. C.A history book. D.A magazine. 【2】How does the writer try to trick the readers into buying the ticket? A.By giving details of the review. B.By introducing a famous director. C.By providing many time choices. D.By showing the convenient transportation. |

‘Come on slow coach! Hurry up!’ I (Emily) called excitedly. Grace walked over the cart and kneeled down beside me. ‘Are you ready?’ I asked. ‘Yes,’ said Grace. Carefully I untied the string around the package. Then, together we pulled the sacks (麻布袋) off. There wasn’t a dead body inside There was just a roll of cloth. And we both recognized the cloth. It was from Salts Mill. ‘They’re stealing cloth from the mill,’ I said shocked. ‘We have to tell someone.’ said Grace. ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘but not yet. We’ll come back tonight. We’ll see who they meet.’ ‘I don’t want to come back tonight,’ said Grace. ‘Then I’ll come by myself, I said I wasn’t afraid of the dark. When you worked in a mill, you were afraid of the machines and you were afraid of the overlooker (监工). They were far more terrifying than the darkness. I loved the silence of night-time. And in fact, I loved the darkness because with the darkness came the end of the working day. So that night, I walked back to the canal alone. It was a clear night and I could see the stars. I hid in some bushes near the cart, and waited. I didn’t have to wait for long. First, the man with red hair came. He stood by the old cart and coughed, a horrible chesty cough that broke the silence of the night. Then along came another man. I recognized him and my heart sank. It was Grace’s father. ‘Poor Grace,’ I thought. ‘I can’t tell anyone about this. Grace’s father will go to prison. The family will lose their house. Grace will lose her job. They’ll have no money and no home. They’ll die.’ I looked into the darkness for an answer. ‘I have to tell someone,’ I thought. And there was only one person I could tell. There was only one person I could trust. That was James, James’ father was an important overlooker. ‘The overlooker won’t believe me. But maybe he’ll believe his son James loves me. He’ll listen to me.’ 【1】Why didn’t Grace want to come back that night? A.Because she was a person who was afraid of darkness. B.Because her slowness would have an effect on Emily’s plan. C.Because she hated Emily due to Emily laughing at her slowness. D.Because she had known her father’s participation in stealing cloth. 【2】Which was not a reason for Emily’s love of darkness? A.She could enjoy the silence that nights brought. B.She could prove that she was braver than Grace. C.She could have free time to relax herself after work. D.She could break away from the overlooker and machines. 【3】All of the following statements are true except that ________. A.the red-haired man was not in good health B.James’ father was the only person that Emily could believe in C.Emily felt shocked to learn that another man was Graces’ father D.the comments of the sacks contradicted what Emily and Grace had expected |

There’s a lot of anxiety around how young people, particularly teenagers, use the internet but new research by Talk Talk suggests some of these fears may be emphasized too much. In a recent study, 2,000 young people aged 13-16 year olds and the parents of the same teenagers, were interviewed about their attitudes to technology and loneliness. The teens were mainly optimistic about technology and its uses. Over half (71 percent) said that during times when they felt lonely, tech provided a solution to their loneliness such as enabling them to make new friends, receive support and advice, as well as read positive comments online. However, social media was regarded as a cause for feeling lonely by 12 percent of teens, who said they felt lonely because they didn’t have many friends on social media. When it comes to the parents, on the other hand, it demonstrated that there is an education gap between worrying about the internet, and knowing what to do about it. For instance, 70 percent of parents worry bout their teens using the internet, but 65 percent said they did not limit the hours their teen spends using social media and tech, and 70 percent reported they don’t use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel ill-equipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online. It seems like when it comes to teens on the internet, the main issue is with the parents not understanding what they’re doing. Research by Oxford University academics found there was little evidence between screen time and mental health in teenagers. The study used a mixture of self-reporting techniques as well as time-use diaries. The research reflected another study earlier this year by the same academics that found technology use explains at most 40 percent of adolescent wellbeing (幸福安乐). We’re still learning about how things like social media impact our health and wellbeing, but at least in this instance, it demonstrates that the Generation Z’s digital understanding nature means they may have more of a hold on tech and its effects than their parents do. If you are a parent and worrying about your child’s screentime use, security company Norton has put together a handy guide on how to manage it, such as setting limits on screen time, and talk about the risks of sharing private information on social media. 【1】What does the author want to illustrate with the example in Paragraph 5? A.Parents are concerned about their teens using the Internet. B.Parents are irresponsible for not controlling their teens’ using the Internet. C.Parents should have a stronger control over the management of their teens using the internet. D.Parents lack the strategies of handling their teens using the Internet despite their deep concerns. 【2】The author refers to another earlier study in order to ________. A.show that the finding of this earlier study is contrary to that of the recent one B.prove that at least two studies are needed before drawing a sound conclusion C.support that technology use doesn’t have so much to do with teens’ wellbeing D.illustrate that technology use has a significant influence on teens’ wellbeing 【3】Which shares the closest meaning to the words underlined? A.Control B.Weakness. C.Affection. D.Addiction. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.Technology, a hell for teens! B.Technology, a must for teens! C.Technology, a help to teens! D.Technology, a two-edged sword for teens! |

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意:每空只填1个单词。 Skyscrapers (High buildings) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall office buildings, multistory five star hotels, and apartment towers with thousands of residents. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However there are experts who think that some skyscrapers should become farms in order to meet the increasing food needs of our planet. By 2050, some social scientists suggest, almost 80 percent of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the human population could increase to 9. 1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change by the middle of this century, one prominent expert claims, we will need an area of new land larger than Brazil to produce enough food for the planet. Vertical farms (垂直农场), where urban farmers could grow crops like wheat in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, environmental health experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. They believe that we can increase food production by changing our thinking from out to up. Supporters say that vertically grown food would be cultivated with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. Moreover, vertical indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding. Also, the use of chemical pesticides for controlling insects would be minimal. Critics of vertical farming point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. For these reasons, vertical farms would need additional light sources. Researchers have found that even in single-story greenhouses, artificial light is often needed for rear-round crops. For example, Thanet Earth is a large indoor farming complex in the United Kingdom that produces 15 percent of the British lettuce crop. During the winter, the complex uses artificial light (人造光) for 15 hours a day. Experts have concluded that generating enough solar energy to support growth requires an area about 20 times larger than the planting area. Therefore, natural light cannot be a practical solution for vertical farms. Vertical farming is expensive, and unless people want to pay more for fresh, local food, the technique may not succeed in the marketplace. Experts agree that creative farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
