“We are good mothers,” I said to my friend, as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves.

Out of nowhere, the children took off running. About fifty yards from us, a man—maybe in his fifties—was fishing. The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines. He smiled at them. They ran back to us—all except my three-year-old daughter, Drew.

My heart beat fast with horror. “Drew! Come here! Play with your friends!” I shouted, very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren’t working. It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers. Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place. So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel (铲子). Then she looked me in the eye: “I want to be with the person.”

Again, she approached the middle-aged man, and started digging next to him.

Several seconds later, she returned, waving something shiny.

“Look, Mommy! A toy fish!”

It was, indeed, a toy fish—yellow and rubber. This must have been what he was using to attract the fish. And he’d given it to Drew. The three other children were deeply impressed, and they didn’t try to hide how jealous(妒忌的)they were—clearly, they all wanted the fish.

“My friend gave me that fish!” Drew shouted loudly. The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air. I felt like I might cry myself.

Unexpectedly, there he was: the man, standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand. He handed them to each of the children. By their faces, you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother.

“Thank you,” I said, realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers.

1. How did the author feel when Drew stood beside the man?

A. relieved B. angry C. concerned D. calm

2. What does the author think good mothers should do?

A. be around their kids

B. warn their kids of danger

B. The kids fought for the toy fish

C. The toy fish was covered with sand

D. The stranger appeared from nowhere

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it was like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important. It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A. It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.

B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.

A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D. some stories make people feel sad

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A. freedB. brokenC. unfoldedD. untouched

4.The writer aims to convince us to ________.

A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends

Developing ideas in writhing is the greatest

Developing ideas in writhing is the greatest problem that students face. 36 However, learning how to develop idea in writing, that is, critical thinking—the ability to think clearly and form a judgment is what proves most difficult for them. Students who have not learned to think critically often have a hard time developing ideas in writing. So, if learning critical thinking is difficult, what can you do?

37 Students, however, should not read without a goal in mind. Students should be active readers by studying how other writers build their arguments. In other words, they should consider the critical thinking of each author they have read. 38 What is the argument that the writer is making? What evidence does the writer use? How does the writer present their ideas? 39 How does the writer evaluate information? 40 It will also help you to think about how you can write better and practice your critical thinking skill, too.

A. Students can learn language rules, vocabulary words, and even how to structure essays.

B. Some students find learning grammar is difficult.

C. Students can start improving their writing and critical thinking skill by reading.

D. How is the writer using the supporting details?

E. The next time you are reading something, try to ask yourself some of the following questions.

F. Asking these questions will give you a point to start understanding how other people think.

G. How is the writer connecting their ideas?

For every cup of coffee you made, about two spoons of grounds end up in the waste. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but just think about the millions of coffees consumed around the world every single day, and you’ll see the problem. Sure, some of those coffee grounds are recycled as fertilizer to enrich the soil or beauty products like face masks, but most will be buried into the ground. It was while considering this issue that German product designer Julian Lechner came up with a new way of recycling coffee grounds — turning them into tableware.

“We were always drinking coffee at university,” Lechner remembers. “And that’s how I started to wonder. What happens to all that coffee? It was all just getting thrown away.” He began consulting with his professors about ways of using coffee grounds to create a solid material.

“We tried combining with a lot of different things,” Lechner said, “We even tried sugar. That was close, but basically it was a candy cup. It just kept melting after being used three times.” The whole point was to make it last long, so Lechner and his partners went back to the institute to continue their research. Finally, after many failed experiments, they came up with a mix of coffee grounds and a biopolymer(生物高聚物) that seemed to behave the way Lechner had expected it.

“The moment of knowing the cup would actually stand was super-exciting,” he recalls. “It was wonderful to drink that first coffee out of the cup. It proved to be totally worth the wait.” And his creation has proven commercially successful, which is just the icing on the cake. The coffee cups are now present in ten shops across Europe, and the company can hardly keep up with demand, regularly selling out of its stock online.

Lechner will soon launch a larger line of coffee grounds cups and also work on a travel mug. But those are just short-term plans, as Lechner hopes to one day use recycled coffee grounds to create all sort of useful stuff—like sheets and furniture in cafés and restaurants.

1.What do people do with coffee grounds before Lechner?

A. Make products beautiful.

B. Improve the soil.

C. Produce drinking cups.

D. Create solid materials.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Candy cups can last longer than coffee cups.

B. Coffee grounds are rich in biopolymer.

C. Biopolymer can get coffee cups used repeatedly.

D. Lechner invented coffee cups alone.

3.What does the underlined phrase refer to in Paragraph 4?

A. Profits from coffee cup business.

B. Creation of coffee cups.

C. Decreasing demands for coffee grounds.

D. Consumption of delicious iced coffee.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A new way of recycling coffee cups.

B. Commercial success from consuming coffee.

C. Recycling coffee grounds into stuff like coffee cups.

D. Different product designers of recycling coffee grounds.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

1. Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

2. Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

3.

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

4. Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 5. Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A. Not resting your mind.

B. Using your brain regularly.

C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.
