8．Several weeks ago I was at a bus station in California waiting in line to buy a ticket．As I stood there I saw a little boy（61）begging （beg） people for money so that he could buy his breakfast．Most of the travelers simply ignored the little boy or gave him a dirty look，（62）buta well-dressed middle-aged man reacted differently．When（63）approached （approach） by the little boy，the gentleman looked at him and （64）quietly （quiet） asked，"How much will you need？"I couldn't hear what the little boy said but watched as the gentleman pulled several notes from his wallet and calmly placed（65）them in the little boy's hands．
I don't know（66）whether/if the little boy actually used the money for his breakfast or for other （67）purposes（purpose）．What I do know is that I witnessed two different reactions （68）tothe same situation．I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed．And then I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless little boy as though he were a brother．I decided then and there that，even though we have to be （69）careful （care） in this world，I would rather I （70）behaved （behave） like the gentleman，choosing to trust what is beautiful．

6．It was Saturday morning．I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room．I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own．I remember my own feelings when I was 13．I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy （私人空间） when he was sharing a room with his younger brother，Robot．He said，"Mum，Can I please have a room of my own？I could use Jeff's．He won't mind．"
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest．But would he mind？The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks．As close as we were，though，the time came when Jeff needed a door between us．His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family．I no longer could-or should-know everything about him．
It turned out that getting Jeff's permission was easy．He said，"Of course，Mum，it would be selfish of me to hold on to it．"Then his voice softened，"Mum，I won't be living at home again---you know that．"Behind his glasses，his eyes were lit with all the love．There were no door closed here---they had all opened up again．
As John and I were cleaning the room，I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever．I looked at the room and，in my heart，I let it go．To hold on would be，as Jeff said，selfish．Now it was time for John，shouldering through the door，his eyes bright with promise of independence，to disappear behind the door．It was time for letting go to happen again．

5．Nowadays，it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the
Internet．For one thing，it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent．For（61）another，it is a useful way to release their pressure．And all these make it more and more popular with high school students．（62）Butmany parents and teachers hold a different view．They think that managing one's
micro blog（微博）will take a lot of time and energy，（63）whichshould be used to study．
In my view，I am greatly in favor（64）ofthis activity．Today the Internet is playing（65）animportant and essential role in our life．Therefore as high school students of the Information Age，we need to learn to make use of this（66）valuable（value） tool to communicate and display ourselves．What's more，opening and organizing micro blogs need various abilities such（67）aswriting，designing，being skillful at computer and so on．Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog．As a result，we improve ourselves while（68）organizing（organize） our micro blogs．
In fact，micro blog（69）itself（oneself） is of little harm．It is your attitude towards it（70）that matters．We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects．

4．It's been recently reported that on average we spend over two hours each day looking at a smartphone．That doesn't mean making calls，but using apps and browsing the Web．Spend that amount of time staring at anything．
Checking our email in a restaurant，sharing a picture of the food when it arrives，or checking a fact during a conversation only leads to reading more instead of communicating orally．It's no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones．However，never before has this phenomenon been
displayed so vividly （生动地） as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone．Though only being
online for a few days，it's already been viewed more than 10.5million times．
Ironically （讽刺地），YouTube's statistics show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices，so a lot of those people watched it on their phones．
The short film，written by and starring actress Charlene de Guzman，shows groups of people in various social situations，most of which are completely attracted by their phones instead of the world
around them．It's depressing （令人沮丧的） because we've all seen it，and sad because to a certain
degree，we all do it．

3．For people who are interested in space，nothing is more exciting than the idea of life on other planets．At first，when Mars showed signs of having life，everyone was excited．The idea has inspired many films and stories including The Martian（《火星救援》），which shows a man struggling to survive on Mars．But would it actually be possible to live there？
While the idea of living on Mars is great，the reality does not look as good．Mars does not have a friendly atmosphere（大气） for humans．There is very little oxygen（氧气）there，and because of the distance from the sun，It is also very cold．The temperature on Mars can be-62℃on average．This is much too cold for humans，
However，scientists say it might be possible to live there without an atmosphere．Mars has a similar amount of daytime to Earth，which means there's enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings．However they would have to grow in soil from Earth．Mars does not have a strong enough atmosphere to stop the radiation（辐射） from space，which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil．
Also，the radiation causes problems to our health．One way we could survive the radiation and cold temperature would be to build homes under the ground or within the rocks（岩石） on the planet．These would give humans the heat and protection the planet doesn't have．
Although it's a long time before we would be able to live on Mars，NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20years．

Things change so quickly!I'm now in hospital recovering from liver failure．I regret take those weight-loss pills．They contain a harmful chemical that is caused my liver to fail．The pills were going to complete destroy my liver if I continued taking it．My mother insisted sending me to the hospital，when I received good treatment．

1．In a world with limited land，water and other natural resources （资源），the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise．Actually，the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm．People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable （可持续的） ways．That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products．In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources．
Today，sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries．According to a recent study，the global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade．China，for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution．It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high speed trains．In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil （棕榈油），which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest．In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%．
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets．First，they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions （排放） and targets for saving and reusing energy．Besides，stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development．Finally，governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction，and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one．
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet．That is no small task，but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries．
33．What can we infer from Paragraph 2？C
A．China lacks wind and solar energy．
B．China is the leader of the lowcarbon market．
C．High speed trains are a lowcarbon development．
D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests．
34．To fully develop the lowcarbon markets，government canD．
A．cut public expenses
B．forbid carbon emissions
C．develop public resources
D．encourage energy conservation
35．What is the main purpose of the passage？D
A．To introduce a new business model．
B．To compare two business models．
C．To predict a change of the global market．
D．To advocate sustainable development．

20．Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk．Gestures are the"silent language"of every culture．We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say．It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood．
In the USA，people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction．The handshake must be firm．If the handshake is weak，it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness．Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder．Some people，usually women，greet a friend with a hug．
Space is important to Americans．When two people talk to each other，they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle （角度），so they are not facing each other directly．Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close．They will move back to have their space．If Americans touch another person by accident，they say，"Pardon me"or"Excuse me"．Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking．If you don't do so，it means you are bored，hiding something，or are not interested．But when you stare at someone，it is not polite．
For Americans，thumbs up means yes，very good，or well done．Thumbs down means the opposite．To call a waiter，raise one hand to head level or above．To show you want the check，make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper．It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger （食指）．Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them．
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing．If you don't know what to do，the safest thing to do is to smile．
