Parents today are wealthier than their parents and they want their children to have more than what they had. Yet parents often  21  to give their children what they had when they were young.

For example, today’s generations of children mostly have their own private  22  with a television, their own cell phone, their own computer, and finally when they are  23  enough they will even have their own cars.  24   all of these things, children do not  25  these gifts as much as previous generations did.  26 , children are often ___27__  just spoiled(被宠坏的) , and all these things give them  28  enjoyment when they really need some  29  to their own development.

The obvious question that you may be asking is probably that:  33  patience is a virtue, then why don’t parents  34  it?

In today’s society, it is far easier to make children lose concentration than to teach personal development 35    and that’s a common problem. For example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the television for their children than to  36  their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. This strong  37  to know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value the  38  of hard work and patience.

Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by  39  them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same  40  lessons that they have painfully learned too. The point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.

Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to identify: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

41. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ___________.

A. its big size                         B. its business-to-business service

C. its not charging small sellers           D. its low price

42. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage?

   A. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites

   B. Alibaba will continue to develop.

   C. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.

   D. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

43. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.

C. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail now. 

D. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.

44. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Shopping online is TaoBao.

B. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

C. Alibaba greatly influences people’s daily purchase in China.

D. How the author purchases online in China.

China says 16 endangered finless porpoises (江豚) have been found dead since the beginning of the year and experts blame water pollution and climate change for pushing the species toward extinction (灭绝).

The freshwater porpoise — popularly known in Chinese as the “river pig” — mainly lives in China’s Yangtze River and two lakes linked to the river.

Authorities (官方) have discovered 10 dead porpoises in Dongting Lake in the central province of Hunan since March, according to a statement by the government of Yueyang City, which is located on the lake’s shore. Another six dead porpoises have been found in Poyang Lake in the eastern province of Jiangxi since the beginning of the year. Experts warn that the species will be extinct within a matter of years.

Wang Kexiong, a researcher at China’s Institute of Hydrobiology, said water pollution, shipping and sand dredging (挖掘) were all possible contributing factors to the recent deaths.

Many rivers in China have become heavily polluted with poisonous waste from factories and farms — pollution blamed on more than three decades of rapid economic growth and slow enforcement (实施) of environmental protection laws.

The report said climate change also could be to blame as the dry weather has caused water levels to drop and makes it more difficult for the porpoises to find food. Tests have shown that some of the porpoises are believed to have died of starvation.

In 2006, China was estimated (估计) to have only 1,200 finless porpoises left. That same year, the Baiji — a freshwater dolphin also native to the Yangtze River — was declared extinct. Earlier this year, a survey found just 65 “river pigs” in Dongting Lake and 300-400 in Poyang Lake.

Following the recent deaths, Yueyang City promised to investigate and increase protection of the remaining porpoises in Dongting Lake.

45. How many river pigs are estimated to live in Dongting Lake?

A. 49.                 B. 55.                C. 59.                   D. 65.

46. The following factors of river pigs’ deaths are mentioned EXCEPT _________.

A. water pollution     B. climate change       C. illegal fishing         D. food shortage

47. We can learn from the text that _________.

A. climate change is likely to stop economic growth in China

B. river pigs’ deaths are completely caused by human beings’ activities

C. economic growth always has a negative effect on the environment

D. river pigs’ deaths can be reduced if measures are taken in advance

48. The numbers of river pigs are listed in Paragraph 7 to _________.

A. show they are on the edge of extinction   B. call for more effective protection

C. show they have become extinct               D. show the importance of raising them in labs

How do you feel about your body? Do you love your body? Some people, especially women, are unhappy with some part of their bodies. They spend a lot of time criticizing their bodies. My stomach is big! My hips are too wide! I simply hate my body!

Some people not only share these thoughts with themselves, but share them with anyone who will listen. When you speak negatively about yourself and your body, you instill (灌输) negative thoughts that take away your confidence and self-worth. These thoughts can have a great impact on your goals, how you treat yourself, and how you feel about your body and yourself. Plus, you also open the door for others to speak negatively about you. So you not only have to fight with how you feel about yourself, but how others feel about you, as well.

Therefore, the next time those negative thoughts and comments come, replace them with those positive thoughts! For example, instead of saying my stomach is big, try saying something positive like, “I wish my stomach was flatter but I have some shapely legs”.

If you’re still having a hard time to give your body love and appreciation it needs, then consider how much work your body puts in for you. You may hate your arms but they can give the tightest hugs to your children. The next time you talk negatively about your legs, think about those who don’t have legs at all. An attitude of gratitude is so important!

Start your morning by looking in the mirror and telling yourself how beautiful you are. From your head to your toes and every part of it, you are beautiful. Today is the day when you accept, appreciate and love your body — you only get one!
