【题目】Life Lessons Everyone Learns the Hard Way

No matter how much we try to be intellectual, life has its own ways of teaching us the valuable lessons. Though initially we are hurt and very shocked, we eventually learn from those experiences, and mature. 1 And we learn to be always optimistic and happy with the way it is.

Lying is harmful. Everyone at some point in life must have definitely realized that lying is a very dangerous thing for the mind, which ultimately affects health, too. Lying makes a man lose the trust of others. 2

Sometimes moving on is the only option. Some things are very dear to us, and we can't imagine life without those activities or people. But sometimes, circumstances and situations arrange in such a way that it is better to leave something and move ahead. 3 At times, it is better to move on with the memories, rather than stay there and live in a blank space with no possible future.

4 In the race of being a perfectionist and an ideal grown-up, every mistake committed by us becomes a mistake in our minds and we become annoyed with ourselves. It is rightly said, "To err (犯错) is human." We are all humans, so nobody knows everything, and it is fine to forgive ourselves for the things that went wrong. 5

A.It is natural to make mistakes.

B.Happiness is the care of everything.

C.It is wrong if some things don't work out.

D.We understand that life is beautiful with its own flaws (瑕疵).

E.And he would finally lose confidence and trust on his own self.

F.Everything has its tenure (保有期限), and it is the beauty of it.

G.What we should do is try to avoid repeating them or doing any wrong intentionally.

【题目】 Would you leave a six-figure job to feed the homeless? This 27-year-old did. Robert Lee’s idea is seemingly simple: Get restaurants to make better use of their leftovers (剩饭菜).

When in primary school, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. “They said it was a bad habit,” says Robert, 27.

While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters. In July 2013, with the $1,000 prize won in the a college entrepreneurship (创业) contest, Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of food to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food.

As an analyst at J.P. Morgan, Robert devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted (招募) volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. Two years after being founded, RLC had already distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food.

Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just tremendous,” he says. The organization now reaches 16 cities around the country.

“One shelter told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.”

1What did Lee do to help the homeless?

A.He worked with with other countries.

B.He built up a network of supermarkets.

C.He employed volunteers to deliver goods.

D.He co-founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine.

2What does the underlined word “tremendous” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Slight.B.Huge.

C.Basic.D.Delicate.

3What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A.Being a volunteer is of great benefit.

B.People should follow in his footsteps.

C.Everyone can make their contributions,

D.It’s worthwhile sacrificing his well-paid job.

4Which of the following can best describe Lee?

A.Devoted.B.Hardworking.

C.Patient.D.Optimistic.

【题目】 Vitamin B could help lessen the effects of the most dangerous type of air pollutionaccording to a new study published recently. In the first study of its kinda team of international researchers looked at the damage caused by one of the pollutants that has the most severe impact on health: PM2.5.

Particulate matteror PMis a type of air pollutant consisting of small particles of different sizes. PM2.5 has a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometersabout 30 times smaller than a human hair. These particles are so small that they can go into our respiratory system (呼吸系统), resulting in lung and systemic inflammation (炎症) and stress.

The team found that something as simple as a daily vitamin B supplement could potentially reduce the impact of the tiny particles on the human bodyalthough they stressed that the research was in its early stages and the sample size was small.

For this study10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo (安慰剂) to check their responses. The group then took another placebo for four weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Torontowhere an estimated 1000 cars pass every hour. The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an “oxygentype” face mask. The experiment was then repeatedwith each volunteer taking a vitamin B supplement daily made up of 2.5 mg of folic acid50 mg of vitamin B6and 1 mg of vitamin B12. B6 can be found in liverchicken and nutsand B12 in fishmeateggsmilk and some cereals.

The researchers found that four weeks of vitamin B supplements reduced the damage of PM2.5 exposure by 28%76%. The results highlight how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight the harmful effects of PM2.5.

1Why is PM2.5 harmful to our health?

A.It pollutes and poisons the air.B.It is too much to be got rid of.

C.It carries viruses and diseases.D.It is easily breathed in and damages our body.

2What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A.The process of the research was not scientific.

B.This kind of research has been done many times.

C.Further studies are needed to confirm their findings.

D.Vitamin B is hard to obtain in people’s daily life.

3What is the text mainly about?

A.International researchers have a new finding.

B.Vitamin B could reduce the damage of PM2.5.

C.Particulate matter does great harm to our health.

D.Emission control and regulation are badly needed.

4The new study was probably published ________.

A.in a science journalB.on a government website

C.in a fashion magazineD.in a medical textbook

【题目】 Beneath the joy of music lies the often mysterious field of music theory. But what if you could learn to understand the often intimidating (使人望而生畏的)language of key signatures, pitch (音高),mode (音乐的调式),melody and more? What if you could recognize these components at work while listening to your favorite music? What if you could "speak" the language of music?

In Understanding the Fundamentals of Music, award winning composer and professor Greenberg offers you a spirited introduction to this magnificent language, avoiding what for many of us has long been the principal roadblock: the need to read music. With these 16 fascinating lectures, discover what parts of musical speech sound like, rather than what they look like on paper. You'll quickly find yourself listening to music with new levels of understanding and appreciation whether at a concert, at home or in your car.
