★ Spectacular value!

By Marissa McRoberts on November 29

The typical price per piece of Lego has been slightly more than $10 since 2005. At $101 for 160 pieces, this set is about $ 0.6 per piece. It is a great deal.

But there are some downsides: no wheels, bushes, trees, grass, technic elements and that sort of thing. This is otherwise a fantastic starter set.

★ A great deal!

By Shawn Bosworth on December 6

I got this set as a Black Friday deal for an amazing $30! I wanted 2 sets but they were gone before I could even get my hands on one. A very nice man gave me a spare that he grabbed. It’s huge, strong and well-made. The box is about 2 feet tall and is strong enough for a storage option. I will absolutely be looking to get another set one day!

Dear Jack,

I am terrible sorry that I won’t be able to go to your birthday party this Saturday afternoon. So yesterday my mother didn’t feel better and I took her to the hospital. The doctor suggest that she should have an operation immediately. I have to look after her in the hospital for a few day. I sincerely hope something will go well and that you can have happy birthday party. By the way, I have sent to you the latest CD of Jay Chou as a birthday gift. I know you are a fan of Jan Chou and I hope he will enjoy it. I am looking forward to see you soon.

Agatha Christie used to go out at night. She will never forget the night when she met a robber many years ago.

That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted till 2 o'clock in the morning. Without company, Agatha walked home along the quiet street. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building, a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”“What do you want?” Agatha asked.

“Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.

“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”

“Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it.”

“Stop talking rubbish. Quick!”

With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to her home.

The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings (先令).

1.Agatha will never forget the night because ________.

A. she was robbed of her earrings

B. she was robbed but she fooled the robber

C. she had such a nice time at the party

D. it is dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night

2.Why did she try to protect her necklace? ________.

A. She didn’t want the robber to notice it.

B. It was cheaper than the earrings.

C. It was worth keeping.

D. She would rather have it robbed.

3.The story wants to tell us ________.

A. Agatha was brave and clever

B. the robber was foolish

C. a necklace is usually more expensive than earrings

D. never stay too late at an evening party

Do you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?

You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared — that it’s just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.

Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it’s not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And there’s growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.

In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.

The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.

Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.

“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) — a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, ” explained Jaremka, who led the study.

The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won’t work to just “tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”

1.If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.

A. they won’t feel happy anymore

B. they are more mentally harmed than physically

C. they will find the feeling goes away by itself

D. they are more likely to fall ill

2.What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremka’s team?

A. To find out how people fight diseases.

B. To prove loneliness hurts people’s immune systems.

C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.

D. To see how people’s emotions change when they give unprepared speeches.

3.What made scientists think loneliness might make the body worse at fighting diseases?

A. Growing evidence of mental problems related to loneliness.

B. Some research results about the relationship between cancer and loneliness.

C. Some studies showing that people suffering from loneliness fell ill or died more easily than those who didn’t.

D. The result of a test where volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech.

4.We can conclude from the article that ________.

A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the world

B. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologies

C. websites must be set up to help people deal with loneliness

D. much more work needs to be done to fight loneliness

It can be rude to talk politics over dinner…explicitly at least. But subtle linguistic cues might reveal more than you think about your political views, whether at the dinner table—or on Twitter. "There's a lot of information in the details of our language." Matthew Purver, a computational linguist at Queen Mary University of London. "The little words we use, the way we join together our sentences, and the kind of interactional patterns, where we react to other people."

Purver’s research team used Twitter as their communications forum, randomly selecting 28,000 users, half of whom clearly followed one political party’s Twitter feeds, for example, @GOP, but not the other, for a more or less even split among Republicans and Democrats. Then they analyzed the words in those users' timelines during a two-week period in June 2014.

As you might expect, the tweets of users who followed Republican accounts were a lot more likely to contain words like "obamacare" and "benghazi," whereas "bridge gate" came up more among Democratic followers.

But the researchers also found that the left-leaners were much more likely to use words like sh#& and fu@$ than were the righties. And whereas Republican followers preferred plural pronouns like "we" or "us," Democratic followers used more singular pronouns, like "I" or "me.".

That pronoun use could reflect previous work on how people on the right and left forge their political views. "People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity. Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas, if you like." The study is in the journal PLoS ONE.

Of course, just following a political account is not proof of political belief. But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines, detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive.

1.What is the meaning of "There's a lot of information in the details of our language." ?

A. Information can be conveyed through the way of word combination, sentence pattern, etc. explicitly or implicitly.

B. We convey our meaning directly through language.

C. People say what they want.

D. Language is the only way we convey our meaning.

2.What result does Purver’s research team find?

A. Republican followers used more singular pronouns.

B. Democratic followers preferred plural pronouns like "we" or "us".

C. Republican followers are more likely to be concerned with group conformity.

D. Democratic followers did not care about government issues because they value individuality

3.What preference can pronoun use reflect?

A. That pronoun use could not reflect people’s political views.

B. Democratic followers are more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas.

C. Either Democratic or Republican followers choose the pronouns at random.

D. Republican followers’ political views are on the left because they like to use the word conformity.

4.Which of the following is true?

A. It’s right to talk about politics over dinner.

B. People use Twitter to express their political views explicitly.

C. Humans may not perceive what we convey through language.

D. Linguistics has nothing to do with algorithms.
