【题目】Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to the interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of the car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office.

BEIJING Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving up market and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 4, 499 yuan ($575), less than half the 5,488 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.

Xiaomi, founded in 4010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.

Xiaomi “is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following” in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.

“Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand,” said Blair. “The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market.”

Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 5 billion yuan ($14.4 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.

Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents(专利).

In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a “rite of passage” (成年礼) for a young company.

【1】 Which of the following statements is true?

A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 4010 in China.

B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.

C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.

D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.

【2】 What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?

A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.

B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.

C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.

D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.

【3】 How is the 5th paragraph developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By analyzing cause and effect.

C. By providing data.

D. By making comparisons.

【4】What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?

A. Negative.

B. Satisfied.

C. Positive.

D. Doubtful.

The Human Camera

There is not anybody else quite like Stephen Wiltshire. Born in 1974, Stephen was always different. 【1】 In fact, he talked to nobody, showed no interest in school subjects and wasn’t able to sit still. Stephen was later told that he had autism(自闭症). He didn’t learn fully to talk until he was nine years old and he didn’t manage to pass his exams. 2 Art became his way to communicate.

He started by drawing funny pictures of his teachers, but soon began to draw buildings. His eye for detail was perfect. He could see a building just once and remember everything about it. 3 Hours later, in front of TV cameras, he managed to draw this building, with the time on the station clock saying 11:20, the exact time when he was there. The television programme made him famous overnight in the UK.

4 He has become a well-known artist, published four books of his drawings, taken helicopter(直升机) rides above the world’s great cities and drawn amazing pictures of them, and opened his own art gallery, where he now works, in London.

His drawings are correct and true in every detailhe always manages to draw everything in the right place. 5 In 2006, he was given an MBE(Member of the Order British Empire) by the Queen of England for services to art.

A. Floating Cities was his third book.

B. As a child, he couldn’t make friends.

C. Besides, they are also beautiful to look at.

D. Luckily he found one thing he liked doing: drawing.

E. After that, many great things have happened to Stephen.

F. In 1987, he saw a train station in London called St Pancras.

G. On 15 February 2008, ABC News named him Person of the Week.

【题目】Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.

Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.

The second most common fib(无关紧要的谎言) is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. “Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.

Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”. “I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.

Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.

In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.

1Whether the person being called has pushed the “ignore” button or ______, the caller at the other end hears the same tone.

A. really has no signal B. can’t get the text

C. has a battery failure D. answers the call

2Most people think women are better liars because ______.

A. there’re more women liars B. fewer women liars are found out

C. women tell less harmful lies D. women are harder to convince

3“You look lovely” and “I’m on my way” rank _____ on the popular-lie list.

A. 3rd and 8th B. 5th and 10th C. 4th and 9th D. 5th and 12th

4The OnePoll spokesman seems to think it’s ______ for the British to lie so much.

A. puzzling B. unpleasant C. impossible D. reasonable
