3．Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone，getting into a school or job，or just passing the time．But do you think you're good at it？And do you even know how to do it？If not，then it's never too late to learn．The art of small talk is the art of talking about unimportant things like the weather．So why should you find it iportant？
It's completely free．It doesn't matter if you fail，and you never know where it will go．"It can lead to many results，from a pleasant exchange to the signing of a million dollar business deal"，according to Brett Nelson in Forbes Magazine．The good things to small talk don't stop there．It can also make us smarter，as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly，social communication could help us solve problems．
You may be wondering how best to break this ice．Weather is probabl the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss．Sports news in also a very common topic，especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly．And if you and the other speaker have something in common，that may also he acceptable to talk about．For example，if the bus you are on is full，you might talk about the reasons why．
Complimenting （恭维）someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable； however，you should probably not say anything-good or bad一about a person's body．Basically，any subject that makes the otherperson give a deep-thought answer in not welcome．If you bring up something like death，religion，politics，for serious opinions，you will turn people off．

10．The‘Phone  Stack（堆）'Game
Whenever Michael Carl，the fashion market director at Vanity Fair，goes out to dinner with friends，he plays something，called the"phone stack"game：Everyone places their phones in the middle of the table； whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the bill．As smartphones continue to burrow（钻入） their way into our lives，and wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to eat into our person space even further，overburdened users are carving out their own device-free zones with special tricks and life hacks．
"Disconnecting is a luxury that we all need，"Lesley M．M．Blume，a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home．"The expectation that we must always be available to employers，colleague，family：It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time．But that private time is more important than ever．"Much of the digital detoxing （戒毒）is centered on the home，where urgent e-mails from co-workers，texts from friends，Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness．
A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox，like the milk tin that Brandon Holley，the former editor of lucky magazine，uses．"If my phones is buzzing or lighting up，it's still a distraction，so it goes in the box．"，said Ms．Holley，who lives in a row house in Red Hook，Brooklyn，with her son，Smith，and husband，John．"It's not something I want my kid to see．"Sleep is a big factor，which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom．"I don't want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails，"said Peter Som，the fashion designer，who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight．""It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly．"
Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected，with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits．But it's not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit．Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings，whether at the request of the host or in the form of friendly competition．The phone-stack game is a lighthearted way for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out．The game gained popularity after Brian Perez，a dancer in Los Angeles，posted the idea online．

63．What might be the reason for Michael Carl to play the"phone stack"game？C
A．His friends aren't willing to pay for the meal voluntarily．
B．He wants to do some funny things with those phones
C．He has been fed up with digital devices being present everywhere
D．The wearable devices have brought threats to his privacy．
64．Why is it difficulty for people to break away from their digital device at home？B
A．Because they have to do some work at home
B．Because they are expected to be always available to the outside
C．Because people have been addicted to digital devices．
D．Because digital devices can enrich people's family life．
65．What does Peter Som do to ensure his sleeping quality at night？A
A．He  puts his phone in the living room．
B．He ignores any information in the phone
C．He deletes all information in his phone
D．He puts his phones in a lockbox
66．Why does the phone-stack game become popular as soon as it is posted online？D
A．The game helps create a harmonious relationship among friends．
B．The game makes the host get along well with the guest
C．The game can prevent children from imitating their parents'behavior
D．The game meets people's demand for keeping away from phones easily．

4．We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak，but his smile was as sure as ever．It was another attack of pneumonia（肺炎）．My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday．Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him．But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too，even when we weren't with him．
Then I remember a family tradition when our children were small．When leaving their grandparents'home after a visit，each child would write a note to their grandparents．They hid notes in the cereal（麦片），under a hairbrush，next to the phone or even in the microwave oven．For days，their parents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love．
So as I tidied Dad's kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room，I wrote some notes．Some were practical，"Dad，I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil．"Some expressed my love，"Dad I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．"Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength，but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow，"Dad，if you have found this one，you must be feeling better．We are so glad．"
Just like his medicine strengthened him physically，these"emotional vitamins"would improve his spiritual health．Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing．He said，"Pretty good．I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!"

Online Degree Programs Face Barriers to SuccessThe United States Department of Education has noted the growing popularity of online degree programs，known as‘distance education'．It reported that 14 percent of all students at American colleges and universities studied through such programs in 2014．
Leanne is one of those students．Her goal was to earn a master's degree in nursing from George Washington University in Washington，D．C．She signed up for the university's online program in 2014．
Leanne chose to study online for many of the same reasons that other students do．She was working full-time，and did not want to move away from her job and family to continue her education．Leanne liked that she was able to study whenever and however much she wanted．
But while the program met her needs at first，Leanne feels there are things she did not get from studying online．She earned her undergraduate degree from a traditional，face-to-face study program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia，Pennsylvania．
Leanne says physically being in a classroom helps build a strong connection between students and their professors．She says in some ways she liked taking control and leading her own studies．But many times，she also felt lost without that special connection．
"In the end，there's really no substitute for the exchanges that actually happen in a classroom．So if I were to do it again，I don't know whether I would have made the same decision．"
In addition，it may not be just a student's learning that suffers in a distance learning program．There is some concern about what future employers think about an online degree．
Public Agenda is a nonprofit research organization in the United States．In 2013，the group reported on a study of over 600 employment specialists working for American companies．
Fifty-six percent said they were more likely to offer jobs to people with a more traditional college experience，where students and teachers meet face-to-face．Forty-two percent said they thought students in online programs learned less than those in traditional programs．And 39 percent of those questioned said they thought online programs were easier to complete．
It is hard for people to change their ideas about higher education from a professor teaching students in a classroom．Also，some employers may have limited understanding of what is possible through an online program．Many people think studying online just means watching videos of teachers talking．Yet technology is always changing．Computer programs may someday educate and test students in ways human teachers cannot．
However，until there are widely accepted standards for online programs，critical opinions about what online programs can do will likely remain．There is still a long way to go before online and traditional programs operate on the same level．
 
1．Students may choose online study programs because of the following reasons EXCEPT thatB．
A．they can't stop working to continue their education
B．they don't like to take control of their own studies
C．they can decide time and place for their studies
D．they don't want to be away from their family
2．The underlined word"substitute"in Paragraph 6 probably meansA
A．replacement
B．use
C．agreement
D．need
3．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．students in online programs can't find jobs after graduation
B．Leanne thought online programs suited her better than traditional ones
C．widely accepted standards will win more supporters for online programs 
D．computer programs have more advantages in educating and testing students  
4．What's the author's attitude towards online programs？D
A．Subjective．

8．One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar．"Brutus was not an honorable man，"he said．"He was a traitor（叛徒）．And he murdered someone in cold blood．"The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him．He made a bad decision，they said-at least as it was presented by Shakespeare-to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar．And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind，Caesar was nevertheless his superior．"You have to endeavor，"the executives said，"our policy is to obey the chain of command．"
During the last few years，business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare's wisdom for profitable ends．None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman，well-known advisers to the White House，who started up a training company called"Movers and Shakespeares"．They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers，and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business．They conduct between 30and 40workshops annually，focusing on half a dozen different plays，mostly for corporations，but also for government agencies．
The workshops all take the same form，focusing on a single play as a kind of case study，and using individual scenes as specific lessons．In Julius Caesar，sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆） of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism．
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature，the programmes，contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background．Their workshop on Henry V，for example，includes a helpful explanation of Henry's winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt．But they do come to the text with a few biases （偏向）：their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power．Instead，they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader．And at the workshop on Caesar，Mr．Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus，saying"the noblest Roman of them all"couldn't make his mind up about things．
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar's pride，which led to his murder，and Brutus's mistakes in leading the  after the murder，they said，raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and ho w do you resist the boss？

36．According to paragraph 1，what did all the executives think of Brutus？A
A．Cruel．B．Superior．C．Honorable．D．Bade
37．According to the passage，the Adelmans set up"Movers and Shakespeares"toB．
A．help executives to understand Shakespeare's plays better
B．give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare's plays
C．provide case studies of Shakespeare's plays in literature workshops
D．guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare's plays．
38．Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V？A
A．To highlight the importance of catching opportunities．
B．To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win．
C．To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management．
D．To warn executives against power misuse．
39．It can be inferred from the passage thatD．
A．the Adelmans'programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized．
B．executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare's plays．
C．the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars．
D．Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field．
40．The best title for the passage isD．
A．Shakespeare's plays：Executives reconsider corporate culture

9．In 2006，Sal Khan launched"Khan Academy"to provide YouTube teaching for his 12-year-old cousin who needed help with maths．The online school now provides more than 580 million online lessons in over 36languages．Last fall，Khan created a physical school in California．
The Khan Lab School runs differently from traditional schools．There's no homework or grades，and students-ranging from ages five to 12-share the same classroom．"It's only 150 years that we separated children by age in classrooms，"said Khan．"The idea is that you can learn a lot from the students who are a little older than you and if you're 12 years old you could exercise a lot of leadership being a teacher assistant for the younger students．"
The school also breaks up the students based on their"independence level，"rather than their age．"Whatever independence level you're on-whether in math，reading or writing-you're on your own track，"he explained．
Another unique feature of the school is that it runs all day，all-year long．Khan said the problem with the current school schedule is that they do not have enough learning time．"The gap between the U．S．and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom，"Khan said．"You have the summer learning loss，which is not only time that you're not learning when you could be，but also you're forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year．"
Now Khan Lab School enters its second year．Khan said he hopes to use the reach of the Khan Academy，which has more than 30 million users now，to send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms．

A．launched an online course
B．set up The Khan Lab School

A．Kids are separated by ages．
B．Kids are trained to be teachers．
C．Younger kids learn from older ones．
