【题目】Holidays are the main times to see both sides of my family.

At Thanksgiving, my mom, dad, brother and I go to my dad’s side of the family, my grandpa’s. When I was in 2nd grade, my grandma got in a car accident only miles from their house. At the time, I was in school. I was checked out and brought to church. Since then, holidays have never been the same. However, Thanksgiving is still good, although it would be better with grandma. At my grandpa’s house, my uncle, aunt, dad and mom all get the dishes prepared for the feast. When the final family members arrive, and the food is downstairs, we dig in, the little ones first.

Christmas is a little different. We have Christmas with my mom’s side at my uncle’s house, usually on Christmas Eve. We have dinner with homemade cupcakes for dessert, and relax until it is time to open presents. The kids get the most and we usually take a family photo. After everybody’s gifts have been opened, my family say goodbye and go home.

Easter has been a little different in the past few years. It started 3 years ago, when my family hosted my mom’s side of the family. We put our dishes we made for the day on the counter. We kids go downstairs and play ping-pong or football. We are called up when everything is ready and begin eating. The kids go to a table in the living room, and the adults use the kitchen table. That is usually the Easter day for us.

Each tradition gets better and better each year for some reason. I wonder what new traditions my family might come up with in the coming years.

Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing and often come with a high price tag(标签).According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects.

“Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others, “says Stephen Garcia, the study's lead author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.

The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols.

The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position.

"At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”

However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation of new friendships, Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.”

【1】What does the underlined word "flaunt" in paragraph I mean?

A.Show off.B.Get rid of.

C.Give away.D.Hand in.

【2】Which is the negative influence of expensive status symbols?

A.Lowering people's social status.

B.Preventing people from making friends.

C.Doing harm to people's health absolutely.

D.Changing people s consumption concept.

【3】Who may be more popular among friends according to the text?

A.People who are very rich.B.People with high social status.

C.People who keep a low profile.D.People with charming appearance.

【4】What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols?

A.PositiveB.Unconcerned.

C.Critical .D.Casual.

【题目】The iPhone the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i” Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i”works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or intcractive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability.” adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with“Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted“i”as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. How ever, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

【1】People use iPlayer to .

A. listen to music

B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online

D. read newspapers

【2】We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for .

A. young readers

B. old readers

C. fashionable women

D. engineers

【3】The underlined word “ambiguous” means “ .”

A. popular

B. uncertain

C. clear

D. unique

【4】The writer suggests that .

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. iTeddy is a live bear

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

【题目】阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

When you’re sitting at your computer, do you work all day without a break? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted (分心）now and again ... to open a few extra tabs， check social media， read a bit of news， keep up with the latest fashion trends， and maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip.

Stop! You’re ‘cyberloafing’. This word is a combination of ‘ cyber’, which means ‘related to computers’, and ‘loafing’, which means ‘ relaxing in a lazy way ’ . We do it， and we do it a lot. A study from the University of Texas suggests we are guilty of this form of procrastination (拖延）for 14% of our working day. On a Friday afternoon， I expect it’s more than that.

I’ll admit to losing myself in cyberloafing. In fact， I’ve already done it in the course of writing this story. Okay， more than once. It can damage your productivity and even your career because according to the University of Texas research， each time a worker gets distracted by the Internet， it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back to work.

More than that， cyberloafing has a dark side， according to a report published in The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. It argues that cyberloafing is connected to several negative personality qualities. People who cyberloaf are more likely to be selfish and tricky.

Why do we do it? For some， it’s most likely an escape from what they’re supposed to be doing. Others might get a feeling of satisfaction from finding a great deal online.

When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips， it’s hard to resist.

How do we solve this problem? If you can truly ask yourself why you are cyberloafing,then that can help identify the base problem. And if that sounds like too much hard work,you could just switch off the Internet for a couple of hours!

So,in the meantime,let me just close those extra tabs.

【1】How is the word "cyberloafing" formed?（不多于8个单词）

【2】What can cyberloafing damage?（不多于6个单词）

【3】Why do people do "cyberloafing"?（不多于13个单词）

【题目】 Lead has proved to be a useful metal. 【1】 It goes into car batteries and also helps make bright pigments, used to paint walls, metal work and toys.

【2】 In the worst cases it causes comas（昏迷）and death. More often its effects are slow but harmful. Research shows that lead is a threat to little babies, who are most likely to take in dust and paint chips that contain lead. Their brains can be easily harmed. 【3】

The dangers of lead have long been known. American banned it from paint 40 years ago, and by the late 1990s leaded petrol had been stopped gradually in almost all rich countries. But the effects continue to exist. 【4】 The situation is more alarming in the poor world, where the use of lead-based paints is spreading. As people in Asia and Africa become richer, they start to decorate their homes, but the paint they use, even from pots labeled "lead-free" often contains it.

It is neither difficult nor expensive to stop using lead. 【5】 And industrial use is no exception, because the contamination （污染物）spreads and industrial paint inevitably finds its way into the consumer market. Yet only four sub-Saharan African countries have formally placed bans and local factories are often unaware of the harm that lead causes.

A. Yet lead is also a poison.

B. It turns up everywhere.

C. All countries should ban lead in paint.

D. Half a million American children are diagnosed with lead poisoning.

E. There is no excuse for poor countries to repeat the mistake of rich ones.

F. Taking some simple precautions can help protect you and your family from lead exposure.

G. But only years after exposure are the results apparent in lower IQ and learning disabilities.
