I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance. Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much. 【1】The writer's good mood ended when ________.

Parents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy. Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’bedrooms. Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?” Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found. Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011. 【1】Which statement is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A.Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes. B.A “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America. C.Electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and educators. D.The overuse of electronic media has caused many severe problems. 【2】Why should parents themselves obey the family rules? A.It’s beneficial to their health. B.It’s essential to parenting their kids. C.It’s beneficial to their work. D.It’s essential to develop good relationship with their kids. 【3】What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation? A.The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes. B.The report was based on the statistics in 2002. C.702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary. D.Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun. 【4】What can be the best title of the passage? A.Consuming media for fun is a nature of kids B.No use, no worry C.Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic media D.Electronic devices threaten the relationship of many families |

While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication. Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful. 【1】According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not? A.How a person tests his / her brainpower. B.A person’s character. C.How smart a person is. D.A person’s IQ. 【2】What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children? A.Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things. B.There was no change in the normal students. C.The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things. D.The disabled students were more willing to help others. 【3】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage? A.IQ, EQ and success. B.A person’s brainpower. C.IQ and a person’s character. D.A person’s IQ and EQ. |

To someone stuck in a traffic jam, the ability to fly right over other cars seems like a dream. 【1】 That may be changing. Nearly a dozen companies around the globe are competing to be the first to develop a flying car. One of the ideas being developed is a car with wings that unfold for flight. But, most aren’t cars at all. They are more like helicopters and are operated by a battery-powered motor. 【2】 Companies have to convince the government that the flying cars are safe. They will also need longer-lasting batteries. And, cities will have to figure out how to handle thousands of flying cars in the sky. Still, some companies are moving forward. 【3】 Especially as cities grow more crowded and people spend more time stuck in traffic. These taxis would deliver passengers to the rooftops of office buildings during rush hours. “In as little as 10 years, products could be on the market that revolutionize urban travel for millions of people,” said Zach Lovering. He is the leader of a project to develop a self-flying taxi for Airbus, a European company that makes airplanes. 【4】 Although Uber doesn’t have any plans to develop a flying car itself, the company is advising several companies that are developing them. 【5】 Designers think that if enough people want to buy them, prices can be kept affordable. A. Some flying cars are designed for human pilots. B. It’s still unclear how much flying cars will cost. C. They see a need for “air taxis” and personally owned flying cars. D. Companies will also have to get permission from the government. E. The Uber ride-share company sees air taxis as the future of on-call transportation. F. Inventors and business people tried to make flying cars, but have never been able to. G. There are many challenges that could keep flying cars from becoming part of everyday life. |
