During this summer holiday, my parent and I climbed Mount Huang. The weather was such fine that the three of us could enjoy the sunrise. At 4:00 the next morning we were already on a top. While waited for the sunrise, we were all excited. First a bit of pale light appeared the east. Suddenly, the sun came out, was looking like a large ball, but the sky became red. Late on, the sunlight became so strong that we couldn't look at it directly. In the afternoon, they said goodbye to Mount Huang, that made a good impression on me.

With hospitals and nursing homes tending to thousands of patients every year accidents can and do happen. These incidents whether they are through carelessness or otherwise, can leave patients feeling powerless. That’s not the case.

“There is growing public awareness. People are feeling they have more rights and they have tools in hand to make a complaint,” said Ralph Montano, spokesman for the California Department of Public Health, which regulates hospitals and long-term care facilities in the state.

That department received more than 6000 complaints about hospitals in 2007; in the most recent year statistics are available. The complaints can be about mixed-up lab results, medicine errors, foreign objects left in a patient during surgery or a host of other topic.

Similarly, the California department of Aging received 43,000 nursing home complaints in 2014. Some said patient abuse or neglect of patients; others reported missing items. And some commented on the quality of the food.

But finding the channels through them to put forward a complaint can be tiring and time consumption. Many consumers simply don’t bother, and some become lost in the system. Whether the complaint is against a hospital or a long-term care facility, the process is similar—and many people can help, including the facility’s staff, insurance company representatives and state regulators.

If you want to make a complaint while in the hospital, Patti Harvey, vice president of quality and patient care services for Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, recommends talking with the bedside nurse. If that doesn’t work, you can talk with other people higher in the chain of command, up to the hospital administrator. If the problem isn’t still taken care of—say you disagree with your treatment plan or have a problem with your doctor—member service offices at each hospital can help address your concerns.

1.Why are there more complaints from patients?

A. Because there are more departments to deal with complaints.

B. Because in the hospital there are more accidents than before.

C. Because it’s convenient for people to put forward complaints.

D. Because hospitals have more and more rights.

2.Many consumers don’t make a complaint because ________.

A. complaints are bad for a long-term care facility

B. few accidents happen

C. many complaints are lost

D. it takes time to make a complaint

3.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. to solve problems with the hospital quickly

B. something about Patti Harvey

C. how to make complaints in the hospital

D. we should say we disagree with the treatment plan

4.Who can help if you complain against a hospital or a long-term care facility?

A. Jack—a representative of an insurance company.

B. Peter—a medical officer from the government.

C. Rudy—a headmaster of a medical university.

D. Tom—a teacher of a medical school.

In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.

However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem（挽回） popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.

“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!

Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet（手镯） than a watch.

Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of little things in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!

1.What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.

B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.

C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.

D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.

2.According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?

A. It simply tells time.

B. It appeals to many teenagers.

C. It has many complex functions.

D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.

3.Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________.

A. show why Shinshoku watches are popular

B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash

C. make a comparison between watches and bracelets

D. tell that today’s watches need more imagination

4.What may be the best title for the passage?

A. Watches Tell More Than Time

B. Japanese Watches Stand Out

C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation

D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular

If you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it’s not just overcrowded subway trains.

Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”

Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.

The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette(礼仪) seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.

Many cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people. (Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.

But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying: “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there’s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.”

Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don’t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.

1.In the second paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to ________.

A. the author’s living in the big city of Hong Kong

B. being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours

C. people’s blocking the way or chat on the escalators

D. people’s standing on the right side resting

2.When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong ________.

A. stand still as the railway stations require

B. ignore the “stand right, walk left” signs

C. use the stairs instead of escalators

D. follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette

3.What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?

A. Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.

B. The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.

C. People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.

D. People shouldn’t complain about the crowded escalators.

4.Which of the following statements is the writer’s opinion?

A. People should stand right no matter where they are.

B. People should do as the Romans do and consider others.

C. People should do as they like on the escalators.

D. People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.

I am looking forward to ________ your answer as soon as possible.

A. receivingB. being receivedC. receiveD. be received
