14.I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling.I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.Instead of striking out boldly (大胆地) on their own,most of them are attempting to seize one another's hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧)-into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry has firmly carved out (创造出) a teenage market.These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

6.Is there link between humans and climate change or not?This question was first studied in the early 1900s.Since then,many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997,the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth's changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008to 2012.Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020.More recently,the Paris Agreement,stuck by nearly 200countries,also aims to limit global warming.But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.
  3.5℃
This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.
2℃
To meet this minimum goal,the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years.Even this increase could sink some islands,worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.
1.5℃
This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement,after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati,which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.
0.8℃
This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began,putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.
0℃
The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.
21.It can be concluded from paragraph 1thatD.
A.the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020
B.gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries
C.the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol
D.humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming
22.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement,what would happen by the year 2100?D
A.The human population would increase by one third.
B.Little over 50% of all species would still exist.
C.Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.
D.The Agreement's minimum goal would not be reached.
23.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive,the maximum temperature rise,since the start of the industrial age,should beB.
A.0.8℃
B.1.5℃
C.2℃
D.3.5℃
5.London taxis,with their friendly drivers who actually know where they are going,are ranked best in the world,according to an annual taxi poll(调查).
The survey by travel website hotels.com found London taxis,despite being the most expensive,beat rivals across the globe to head the list for the third consecutive years,scoring a total of 59percent in votes on several categories by travellers.
London taxi drivers were voted both friendliest and most knowledgeable.Drivers in the English capital must pass a rigorous  examination called The Knowledge to earn their taxi licence.
New York's yellow taxis came second in the list,scoring 27percent which was up 10percentage points from last year even though Manhattan's cab drivers tied with Parisian taxi drivers as the rudest.
Travellers said New York had the most available taxis.
Cabbies in Rome were voted the worst drivers in the world with almost one in 10travellers thinking the Italian capital had the world's worst taxi drivers when it came to the quality of driving.
"Travelling by taxi is one of the first experiences that many travellers have upon arrival in a new city.In fact,the research found that cabs are by far the most popular method of travelling from the airport to their hotel,"a spokesman for hotels.com said in a statement.
The global poll scored city based taxis for their levels of cleanliness,value,quality of driving,knowledge of the area,friendliness,safety and availability.
Rounding out the top five were Tokyo with a total score of 26percent,Berlin with 17percent,and Bangkok famed for its tuk-tuks scoring 14percent.
Madrid's taxis were ranked sixth in the poll,followed by Copenhagen and Dublin with 11percent and Frankfurt and Paris with 10percent.
Taxis in Sydney fell short of the top 10,scoring badly in the areas of value for money,availability and knowledge of the area.
The survey for hotels.com,part of the Expedia group,was conducted among over 1,900travellers between May 11-28this year.

From:"John Trimbald"jtconstruction@img.com
To Whom it May Concern,
I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now.I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew.Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots,the soles(鞋底) began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks.This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty(担保).The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete.Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.
Thank you,
John Trimbald,Foreman,JT Construction

19.Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress,the head of the world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind.
Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York.The company is now being investigated.Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled.The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.
Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits.A new hearing will be conducted.And the cost to Toyota's reputation is only now starting.
Despite back-to-back hearings this  week,left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden,unintended accelerations will be fixed.
Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock,but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems.
Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车).Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.
House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda,the grandson of the company's founder.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota's recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults.NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.
Toyota has recalled 8.5million cars,more than 6million of them in the United States.
It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.
Toyota's January sales already fell 16percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year's bad results.Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales,due out next week,to be down 30percent to 40.Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that.
It will take some time to feel the full effect of this,he said.

66.The best title for this passage isA.
A.Toyota is in trouble    B.Toyota is under hearing
C.Toyota is finished      D.Toyota is still running
67.What is the purpose of the hearing?D
A.America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers.
B.America wants to get Toyota out of the US market.
C.America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty.
D.America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem.

A.Toyota provides very good post sale service.
B.Toyota's biggest market is in the United States.
C.Toyota will be closed soon.
D.Toyota's dealership in the US will all be closed.

A.It tries to avoid the maximum damages to the company.
B.It is big company and has means to fix every problem.
C.It's part of post servie.
D.It's a way to compete in auto market.
