    Yesterday, I met a delightful woman at a work event. As we talked, she told me about her       in Manila, Philippines. She spoke about the     her culture values their elders,and she explained that children are         from the time of birth to respect and          people older than themselves.
    It was       to hear that,so I enjoyed listening and learning. Here is her memory       I found so beautiful:
    When she was growing up, her father had three jobs to       his family. She said her dad never      , and though he worked very hard, he always had       for them. One day, her father was        at his full-time job. For several months, he was mailed temporary disability checks       he was recovering.
    When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability        that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the        . He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who        needed it.
    The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had        her father that very day when he went back to his company        all those unopened checks. "My father is my hero," she      . Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an           and influential mentor(导师) he was on how to live a life.
    From my communication with her, it was          that her father's same sweet spirit had been       to this woman, and to her family. Hearing this story was so refreshing to my soul. I hope it is for you too.

    Can you believe everything that you read? It seems as if every day, some new articles come out about a new discovery about this or that. For example, water is bad for you, or good for you. The answer depends on which scientific study has just come out. People cannot decide which food items are healthy, how pyramids were constructed, and why dinosaurs disappeared. When we look for answers we sometimes can believe persuasive researches and scientists. But how trustworthy are they really? Here are two examples of scientific hoaxes (骗局).
    As far back as 1726, Johann Beringer was fooled by his fellow scientists into thinking he had made an amazing discovery. The fossils of spiders, lizards, and even birds with the name of God written on them in Hebrew were unlike anything that had been found before. He wrote several papers on them and was famous for those only to have it revealed that they were planted by jealous colleagues to ruin his reputation.
    When an early human being was discovered in 1912, scientists at this time were wild with excitement over the meaning it had for the theory of evolution. There were hundreds of papers about this Piltdown man over the next fifty years until it was finally discovered to be a complex hoax. The skull (头骨) of a man had been mixed with the jawbone of an orangutan (猩猩) to make the ape (猿) man.
    The next time you read the exciting new findings of a study of the best scientist, do not automatically assume that it is true. Even qualified people can get it wrong. While we certainly should not ignore scientific research, we do need to take it with a grain of salt. Just because it is accepted as the truth today does not mean it will still be trustworthy tomorrow.
    小题1:What does Paragraph 1 want to say?
    A．Researchers and scientists are not perfect.
    B．Something that we read may not be true.
    C．Researchers and scientists know everything.
    D．People don’t know whether water is good or bad.
    小题2:What is the reason why Johann Beringer was fooled?
    A．His fellow scientists wanted to make fun of him.
    B．His workmates are eager to become famous too.
    C．These scientists made a mistake because of carelessness.
    D．His colleagues envied him and did so to destroy his fame.
    小题3:The excited scientists thought that this Piltdown man ______.
    A．was in fact a complex hoax
    B．was a great scientific invention
    C．contributed to the theory of evolution
    D．had the skull like that of an ape
    小题4:What does the underlined phrase “with a grain of salt” in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A．Happily.B．Generally.C．Doubtfully.D．Completely.
    小题5:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Hebrew is probably a kind of language.
    B．Truths of science will never be out of time.
    C．People believe scientists because they are persuasive.
    D．We are advised to believe famous scientists.

    Everybody is afraid of something.That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff.We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most.Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查)：① Scary movies and TV shows；②Scary dreams；③Thunderstorms，hurricanes(飓风)；and other horrible weather；④War and terrorism (恐怖行动)；⑤Sounds heard at night.
    But not everyone is afraid of the same thing.And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else.Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
    What is fear?
    Fear is a feeling that eyeryone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us.We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous.The baby cries，and their mom comes over to comfort him or her，helping the baby feel safe and OK again.Real vs.Pretend
    The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it.As kids get older，they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal.So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches，he can tell himself，“Wait a minute.They’re only pretend things.I don’t need to worry about them.”
    The same goes for the dark.A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out.What’s under my bed？Is that a thief I hear？With the help of a parent，kids can get more comfortable in the dark.Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
    小题1:What did the writer find out from the survey?
    A．Some people have never experienced fear.
    B．Kids don’t like watching scary movies.
    C．All people are afraid of something.
    D．People often cry loudly when they are scared.
    小题2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A．The list of fears is not complete.
    B．The things people fear are of no big deal.
    C．Kids have more fears than people think.
    D．People are afraid of different things.
    小题3:In the writer’s opinion，________.
    A．having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
    B．babies have a weak sense of fear
    C．fear is not something that we are born with
    D．not all people can react to dangerous things

    When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:
    As described:
    This includes the history of the car as well as its specification. For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.
    Of satisfactory quality:
    It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem. Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear.
    Fit for the purpose:
    It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller.
    ●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款). Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car, you must stop using the vehicle.
    ●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.
    ●If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.
    小题1:After the above writing, you will be better at           .
    A．choosing a carB．dealing with car sellers
    C．making a claimD．suing for damages
    小题2:According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car________?
    A．Suing for damages. B．Demanding traveling expenses.
    C．Stopping using it. D．Proving your case.
    小题3:If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable_______?
    A．Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car.
    B．Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets.
    C．Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses.
    D．Asking the dealer to return all your money.
    小题4:Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph________?
    A．Different. B．Effective. C．Discouraging. D．Convenient.
    小题5:What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph_________?
    A．Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car.
    B．Rejecting a new car is not necessarily the best choice.
    C．It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired.
    D．Buyers should never reject a new car.

    The sun was shining when I got on No.151 Bus. We passengers sat jammed together in heavy clothes. No one spoke.

    As the bus came near the Mile, a       suddenly rang out “       !This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The      came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go         .”
    Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf(围巾).I saw her       every day. Our eyes met We waited for the next       from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning neighbor!”
    Our voice were       .For many of us, these were the         words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like       ,to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help       .There was the feeling of relief(解脱), that we were not being held up（抢劫）. But more, there was the sense of ice being       . “Good morning ,neighbor.” It was not so        after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands ,many laughed. The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t        to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in        .
    When I reached my stop, I said         to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day was        off  better than most.

    iPhone owners are vainer (虚荣) and spend more on clothes and grooming(仪容) than those who have BlackBerrys and Android phones, new research claims.

    BlackBerry owners earn the most and are more likely to have long-term relationships, while people with Android handsets are most creative and the best cooks.
    The study, carried out by TalkTalk Mobile, surveyed 2,000 owners of the three major smartphone brands to determine whether the choice of handset was an extension(延伸) of their personality. The study rated users in various walks of life using a point scoring system including personalities, daily habits and the type of industries they work in.
    Other results from the study found that people with an iPhone are more image conscious  and generally rate themselves more attractive than those with other handsets. They are most likely to describe themselves as adventurous, bright and are most likely to work in media, publishing and education. They also believe their boss rates them highly. Apple owners also tend to have done more travelling and are the most active on social media sites.
    BlackBerry owners were found to be the least punctual(准时的) ,but despite putting in the least hours at work they are the most active phone user—sending more texts and making more calls in the average day than any other phone user. They are more social and have more friends overall. They also earn nearly two and a half thousand pounds a year more than other smarphone owners, with an average salary of $27,406. BlackBerry users classed themselves so loud and mainly work in the health, finance or property sectors. They were also found to drink more tea and coffee each day than any other phone user.
    Android owners were found to watch more TV than others and drink the most alcohol—consuming more in an average week than iPhone and BlackBerry drinkers. They have the most jobs in engineering, the government and public services and environmental services. They have the best manners and are more shy and relaxed than their counterparts.
    Dan Meader, Director of Mobile at TalkTalk, said, “Many of us have our mobile phones on us almost constantly so they do become an extension of us in many ways. It’s interesting to see then how the choice in handset may reflect different aspects of personality and the results do show some unusual differences.”
