Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演). Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents. The children talked excitedly about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be. The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady told him the price. The father lowered his head and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus. Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the world!) My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, pressed tightly onto the bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we could go without. 【小题1】Why was the poor man unhappy after he spoke with the ticket lady? A. The tickets were too expensive. B. His children were noisy.

Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bring it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is new possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States. Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested. “I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia. 3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego. “The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.” The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores. At the UPS Store, the cost of the object depends partly on the amount of materials used. The store also changes up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file to guide the printer. Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more consumer-friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia. “With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.” He says it’s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality. 【小题1】What do we know about the UPS Store according to the text? A. It will add 3D printers in 3 more stores to meet people’s demand. B. It provides various services around the world. C. It charges customers for the time to design the object only. D. It offers 3D printing classes and services. 【小题2】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text? A. 3D printing is becoming popular in the world. B. There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia. C. The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company. D. 3D printing plays the most important role in daily life. 【小题3】The attitude of KIChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology is___.. A. uncertain B. critical C. objective D. positive 【小题4】What is the best title for the text? A. 3D Printing History B. 3D Printing Services in America C. 3D Printing Technology D. 3D Printing’ Development |

If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging job, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the daunting task millions of educators face each day as they try to mold a group of often surly, unruly kids into intelligent, well-rounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful! What if these all-important individuals that we often take for granted disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to envision for their recently held contest. Entitled, "A World Without Teachers," its intent was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how grim things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest contestants did not appear to rejoice at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do. High-school student Savannah Wakefield pondered if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1,000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a 'brain box' in his fun animated entry. Youth category winner Marina Barham's video depicts a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach, they inspire - something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being? "mean" for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her. We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy! 【小题1】What is the passage mainly about? A. The campaign to promote teachers' status. B. The significance cf teachers. C.

A. teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task B. being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world C. a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted D. teachers have little influence on kids' individual development 【小题3】What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”? A. To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers. B. To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs. C. To remind students to appreciate teachers' hard work. D.
