阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Our oldest daughter is having trouble letting go of an old red sofa.

It’s not the sofa she’s having trouble letting go of as much as the memories.It was their first sofa.It has been loaded and unloaded onto moving trucks seven times.Three kids have eaten on it,dripped on it,and jumped on it.

Yet she’s having a hard time letting go and asked if I thought that was strange.

“Completely,” I said.“You get it from me.”

When we were ready to get rid of our baby things,I sold our crib (婴儿床) at the neighborhood garage sale.I had pieces of it in the garage and the other pieces of it still in the house.A young woman said she wanted to buy it.

My throat tightened and the tears began to well.She pulled out cash and I cheered up.

But by the time I returned with the other pieces to the crib,I was all sobbing.“Have you considered that maybe you’re not ready to sell it?” the woman asked.

“No-o-o-o,” I cried.“It’s fine,really,” I said.“Take it.”

Our attachment to stuff grows in direct relationship to the amount of time it has sat in one place.The longer it sits,the harder it is to get rid of it.You think: “Hey,we’ve hung onto it this long – it must be valuable!” As though yellowing and a layer of dust increase value.

People who find it extremely hard to part with things have been made into entertainment in a television show called Hoarders.If an episode (集) of that isn’t depressing enough for you,producers now offer Extreme Hoarders.Both of which are not to be outdone by Storage Wars,a show about aggressive people who bid on other people’s storage units.

Let the sofa go,I told my daughter.It served its purpose.You can get a new one.Give the kids some crackers (饼干) and juice and it will be like the old one in six weeks.

1.What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence “You get it from me”?

A.“You can get another sofa from me.”

B.“You can get mental support from me.”

C.“You behave just the same way I do.”

D.“You are asking the right person to help you.”

2.When the writer was selling the crib,_____.

A.she felt relieved that there was someone willing to buy it

B.she showed a strong attachment to the old item

C.she couldn’t decide whether or not to sell it in the end

D.she changed her mind in hopes of keeping it and increasing its value

3.The writer refers to the television shows to _____.

A.prove that it’s depressing to get attached to old stuff

B.explain what contributes to people’s attachment to old stuff

C.show that people in TV shows live the same lives as ordinary people do

D.prove that it’s actually common for people to find it hard to get rid of old stuff

4.Which opinion might the writer agree with according to the article?

A.If you give away old stuff regularly,you are wasteful.

B.If the old stuff has done what it was supposed to,then let it go.

C.Nothing is more valuable than your love for your old stuff.

D.The older your stuff is,the less trouble you have getting rid of it.

My father suffered a disease once, but he was an optimist(乐天派).He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he became a volunteer at a children's h}pital. Sometimes one or two kids would die. At this time he would tell the heart-broken parents of the children that he would be with their children in heaven and that he would look after them there.

There was a girl with a disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down. She couldn't do anything. My dad decided to help her with his true love. He started visiting her, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He began to put the paintbrush in his mouth to paint. He didn't use his hands. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her. "You can do anything once you make up your mind to do it,”he said. Finally, she began to paint using her mouth, too.

Later, my dad recovered and returned to work. He worked at the volunteer counter in the hospital. One day, he noticed the front door open. In came the little girl who had been paralyzed.

She was walking! She hugged my dad tightly and gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: "Thank you for helping me walk again!”

After that my father often said love was more powerful than doctors.

We’ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us. We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy. Over the years, there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones, portable desks to ones that change into shelves.

However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk. The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.

You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule. If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning, but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call, the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course, the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk.

When switching positions, the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up. If you’re not ready to switch positions at that time, you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.

The built-in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you’ve burned. You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand. The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.

All of that smart tech doesn’t come cheap though. The M1 desk, which is the everyday model, runs a steep $2,990, while the more executive model with added features, the F1, goes for$4,190.

While expensive, it’s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks. Much like a good mattress(床垫), a good desk that works with you is worth the investment. Hopefully in a few years these smart, integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.

1.The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_______.

A. help users with their work

B. keep users moving all the time

C. get users to exercise while working

D. remind users of their working schedule

2.Which is the feature of the touchscreen of the desk?

A. It can tell users when to change positions.

B. It can track users’ changes of positions.

C. It can keep users in a fixed position.

D. It can detect users’ health condition.

3.Which of the following can best describe the desk?

A. Productive but challenging.

B. Convenient but unaffordable.

C. Complex and impractical.

D. Multi-functional and intelligent.

4.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. To spend money on such a desk is rewarding.

B. We should get such a desk as soon as possible.

C. It won’t be long before the desk is widely used.

D. Desks play a very important role in our daily life.
