On her first morning in America £¬ last summer £¬ my daughter went out to explore her new neighbourhood¨Dalone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were wor?ried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.

When this story comes up in conversations with Ameri?can friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam (Ïйä) around without adult supervision(¼à¹Ü).

A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 per cent of their leisure time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the devel?oped world. But German parents are generally much more ac?cepting of letting children take some risks.

"We are depriving(°þ¶á)them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives," writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this in?creases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depres?sion, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades.

I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challen?ges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more con?trol over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own capabilities.

5. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighbour?hood alone, his American friends feel .

A. worried                                B. proud

C.  doubtful                            D. terrified

 6. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that .

 

A.     American kids enjoy playing at home

B.     German parents are less protective than American par?ents

C.     German kids like taking risks more than American kids

D.     American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time

 7. It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ,

 

A.     parents should always be around their children to pro?tect them from risks

B.     more and more parents suffer from mental problems

C.     children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives

D.     giving children more freedom is beneficial for their mental development

8.Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?

A. Liberal.                               B. Irresponsible.

C.  Careless.                           D. Protective.

A¡¼2015'ȪÖÝÊÐÆÕͨ¸ßÖбÏÒµ°àÖʼ졽Each Sunday, people can hear the music of the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco. The Spanish missionaries (´«½ÌÊ¿£© built the church in 1791. It was the start of a spe?cial kind of neighbourhood: the Mission District.

The area is a place with a long and varied history. One community member says that it's important for people to un?derstand the many levels of history in the neighbourhood. He feels that this knowledge is a big part of understanding what it means to be a real San Franciscan.

One of the most interesting parts of the district is its peo?ple. Over the years? immigrants have come to the area from Ireland* Germany, and Italy. But the most recent immigrants are mainly from Latin America. It's easy to see the style that these recent additions give to the neighbourhood. You can see it in the art on the walls, taste it in the food, and hear it in the music!

Juan Pedro Gaffney Rivera, the director of the Spanish Choir(³ªÊ«°à)of San Francisco, says that the people there share the pain and happiness of their friends and family mem?bers and that music has always been a basic part of cultural i-dentity in the district. He feels that the music of the district is colourful and lively.

But it isn't just its music that's colourful and lively. Its art is full of life as well.

The local art community stays close to the area's culture and tradition. A local art organization often leads people on walks through the district. They visit streets like Balmy Alley, which is famous for its murals (±Ú»­).Even though the meanings behind the murals are always changing, they are still very powerful. One artist explains that they are fighting for fairness in the community and to help the environ?ment through murals. Apparently, they're something the community likes.

Many of these artists feel that the district is a successful neighbourhood where new immigrants are welcome. "People see that they're not so different from each other," says one artist. "There are a lot of things that bind(À¦°ó)the immi?grants through culture and tradition.£¬£¬

1. The underlined phrase " this knowledge" in Paragraph 2 refers to "  •

A.     having memories of the Spanish missionaries

People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true. 9 After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them. The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.

•  Dress appropriately.

10 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations. It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.

•   Be aware of your body language.

Words express very little of what you say. Body lan?guage can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 11 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special. Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious. Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.

•  Respect the opinions of others.

Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversa?tion. Respect other people's right to have their own opinion. Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 12

 People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation. By listen?ing carefully to what others are saying, you are not only mak?ing them feel important, but also gathering cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.

A.     Be a careful listener.

B.     Show an interest in every person you meet.

C.     Smile especially when first meeting someone.

D.     Make sure you look nice whenever you meet
someone new.

E.     Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.

F.      Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.

G.     Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.

   A group of Russian criminals have stolen 1. 2 billion use-rname and password combinations for more than 500 million e-mail addresses. It's the largest known theft on the Inter?net, according to a report of The New York Times.

   Cyber security firm Hold Security discovered the security breach. The firm found that the group of criminals collected personal information from 420£¬ 000 websites, including household names and small Internet sites. The criminals were based in a small city in southern Central Russia. They hacked websites inside Russia as well as big companies in the US and other countries,T/ie New York Times reported.

The criminals found hundreds of thousands of weak web?sites and attacked their coding, Hold Security said. Alex Holden is the chief information security officer of Hold Secur?ity. "The hackers do not just target US companies; they tar?get any website they can get," Holden said. "And most of these sites are still easy to attack.£¬£¬

According to Hold Security, the criminals have been using the stolen information to send junk mail through e-mail and on social networks like Twitter. They can also use the 500 million stolen e-mail addresses to plan other crimes. They could use information from bank e-mails to steal your identity or sell the e-mail addresses to other criminals to make quick cash.

The reported break-ins are the latest events to raise doubts about security in big and small companies. Last win?ter, hackers stole 40 million credit card numbers and 70 mil?lion addresses, phone numbers and other personal informa?tion from the retailer Target Corporation. The brand is still working to regain its shoppers' trust.

John Prisco is the CEO of a security firm. He says secur?ity hackings are more common than many people and compa?nies realize. "This issue reminds me of an iceberg, 90% of which is actually under water," Prisco said in an e-mailed statement. So many cyber breaches today are not actually re?ported, because companies are losing information and they are not even aware of it.

Security experts believe hackers will continue breaking into computer networks unless companies become more pro?tective of personal information.

5.What did a group of Russian criminals do according to the report?

 A.     They stole e-mail addresses of the Internet users.

B.     They destroyed the websites of some big companies.

C.     They attacked American companies in southern Rus?sia.

D.     They downloaded the secret information of some banks.

6.According to Alex Holden, the criminals entered some websites easily because .

 A.     some websites don't have their own coding

B.     most of the websites lack protective measures

C.     Russia is more developed in computer science

D.     the hackers are equipped with high technology

7.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

 A.     The criminals are fond of using social networks.

B.     The criminals sell the stolen information for money.

C.     The stolen information causes great economic losses.

D.     The stolen information could bring harmful effects.

8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 imply?

 A.     We cannot tell how large an iceberg is just from the part on the water.

B.     Many companies are unwilling to report their informa?tion stolen.

C.     Many companies are not aware that their information has been stolen.

D.     People usually can see just a small part of an iceberg.

   If you had a strange sound in your ear, what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999, the emergency services number in Britain. And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes. Could she make chips with them? Were they poisonous? She didn't hesitate about calling the local ambulance service to ask. According to a recent report, more than 31,000 non-ur?gent calls were made to the Welsh Ambulance Service in the last year.

   Inappropriate calls are a headache for health profession?als everywhere. In the US,prank calls to 911 happen on a dai?ly basis. Many callers use apps which hide their identities. But those who try to be funny shouldn't be surprised if the police have the last laugh. One man from Colorado was arrested for making more than 1,200 prank calls,according to a report on the US television station KOAA-TV.

People who take these calls are trained to stay calm and keep a straight face, no matter how strange the calls sound. "There's no way for us to know whether the call is real,acci?dental or a prank call," said a public safety worker inter?viewed by the American TV channel.

The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service, Richard Lee, has a warning for prank callers. He says,"When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help. £¬£¬ Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the se?riously ill or those with a life-threatening injury. You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

A [2015 .½­»´ÃûУ¸ßÈýµÚ¶þ´ÎÁª¿¼] My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Internet, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an as?sistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(²»°²µÄ)."Do you want to try it first? "he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do 1 need to?" I replied, "There's nothing wrong with it. " This made htm look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly. "Compare it with the others."

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly differ?ent prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y£¬ always trying to take Z and pos?sibly H into account at the same time. But when I had fin-ished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice £¬ the clever choice* and the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers¡­and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupt?ed to ask whether I needed to buy a carry case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 

  1. The  shop  assistant  insisted  that  the  writer should

A.     trust him and stop asking questions

B.     try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

C.     get more information about different companies

D.     compare the camera he had chosen with the others

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?

 A.     He should get a 50% discount.

B.      The price of the camera would soon fall.

C.      The quality of the camera was not good.

D.     The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_________ .

 A.     knew very little about it

B.     wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

C.     didn't trust the shop assistant

D.     had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's
opinion, ________ .

 A.     we waste too much money on cameras

B.     cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C.     we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D.     famous companies care more about profit than quality

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping Korean actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-ho as demigods (±»Éñ»¯µÄÈËÎï).Chinese denizens always have different opinions over Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that pro?grammes from the neighbouring country are now enjo?ying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came from the Star £¬ the Korean TV series.

You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs (¡¶¼Ì³ÐÕßÃÇ¡·)have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came from the Star was a hard-to-get item on Am?azon for a while.

The two TV programmes have several common ele?ments M) £º a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programmes describe the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Per?haps that's the secret of their success; perhaps people still like Cinderella-type stories.

The widening wealth gap is a matter of social con?cern both inKoreaandChina, and the challenges that young people face in their hope for a better life might have caused many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular Ko?rean TV dramas describe. In fact > Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market's demands.

Many denizens even said at an earlier time that Ko?rean TV dramas had become popular because of their stereotyped (ģʽ»¯µÄ)themes£º traffic accidents, canc?er and other incurable diseases. But all that has changed with the success of You Who Came from the Star and The Heirs £¬ which Chinese directors can use as exam?ples, as well as inspiration, to improve their produc?tions,

1.Which is NOT included in the elements for the suc?cess of Korean dramas?

A.Charming pure love stories.

B.A tender kiss and a warm hug.

C.Handsome and rich heroes.

D.The heroine's blind love with the rich.

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means that they are designed to .

A.develop in a large scale

B.be measured to a certain size

C.meet popular taste purposely

Dbe shown in a big market

3The main purpose of stereotyped themes in Korean dramas is to .

A.present an idea

B.attract TV viewers

C.make them colourful

D.arouse some challenges

4.In the last sentence £¬  about Chinese dramas £¬ the writer expressed his .

A.expectation   B. satisfaction

C.excitement      D. requirement
