W: Morning, Mr. Johnson. Do you need some more medication?

M: No, my leg is feeling fine, actually. But this bed is really uncomfortable.

W: You told me that you’d like to be able to move and control it yourself.

M: That’s true, but I don’t know how to use it. This controller is huge, and there are too many buttons.

W: Yeah, it can be pretty confusing. See these buttons at the top here? They control the part of the bed near your back, so you can either sit up or lie down.

M: OK, but what about these buttons at the bottom?

W: Those ones control the part of the bed by your feet. Why don’t you try playing around with it?

M: OK…whoa, that’s nice! This is much better. But what does this big red button in the middle do?

W: That is the emergency call button. Please don’t press it unless it’s a real emergency.

【题目】My first book had been rejected by every major American publisher. My first agent, wasn’t communicating. My dream of a life as a successful author was in tatters.

“It isn’t going to happen,” I said to my friend. “And I have to accept it.”

“If you lose faith in your product, no one else will have faith in it,” she told me.

And, I knew she was right. But, how could I believe in myself when I hit a wall at every turn? I knew I had a good product. The book featured interviews with world-famous people who had learned how to succeed and lead—the hard way. It had information that could help other people. As a consumer, I would have loved that book because it had the great wisdom I so desperately needed. And, their stories made for good reading. I had a good book. What I didn’t have was a publisher. I had to find a way to get that book sold and on the shelves. But, how?

The hardest challenge was forcing myself to do battle again. I had to find the strength to believe in myself when it seemed like no one else believed in me. When I hit a wall, I usually need to get more information to figure out what is going wrong. So, I did some research and found out that my initial vision for the book-where all the interview subjects got their own chapters-wasn’t marketable to big publishers because that format does not sell tons of books. What I had to do was recognize, restructure and rewrite.

I needed an agent. There are thousands of agents. Surely one of them was right for me. So, I started sending out query(询问)letters. Within a week, I had a dozen agents who wanted the book. I chose the one who I thought would believe in me and my dream. She did get me my choices of publishers.

Hard won Wisdom wound up being a best-selling book. But, it almost never was.

1Which can best replace the underlined part “in tatters” in Paragraph 1?

A. Great. B. Ruined.

C. Strange. D. Cherished.

2How can the author’s first book be described?

A. It is very theoretical. B. It contains many love stories.

C. It is about a well-known person. D. It is quite useful for many people.

3Which part of the mentioned book was changed by the author?

A. The cover of it. B. The main content.

C. The structure of it. D. The introduction part.

4What does the author’s story tell us?

A. Never give up. B. Easier said than done.

C. Every man has his faults. D. Never judge a book by its cover.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Whether you’re looking for a quick hotel in the city or a isolated resort in the tropics, where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience. But even the most seasoned travelers may not know the difference between the two main types of homes-away-from-home. Besides their first letter, is there any real difference between hotels and motels?

These two types of lodging(宾馆) have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep—but there are plenty of features that set them apart. For instance, they came to be for different reasons, and at very different times. The word “hotel” dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word, hotel. That word, just like the English one, referred to a place that provides lodging, meals, entertainment, and other services to travelers.

Motels, on the other hand, are a much more recent—and pretty much exclusively American—lodging option. This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words “hotel” and “motor.” As America’s major highway system developed, so did motels, filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.

There are also some smaller differences that can help you figure out which type of place you’re in. Hotels tend to be built for longer stays, while motels are geared more for one- or two-night stops along a journey. Because of this, hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges, gyms, and entertainment.

So, in the end, it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging. Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Opt for a hotel. Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.

【题目】How to Live a Happy Life

Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. 1 Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long-lasting happiness.

Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body.2 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person.

3 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症). On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong emphasis on social engagement.

Challenge Yourself.4 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it’s more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most.

Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter.5

A. Life is always full of hope.

B. Spend time with friends and family.

C. However, sometimes it seems far away from us.

D. It would be better if you take exercise in nature.

E. Do something kind for the people you care about.

F. Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.

G. Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot.
