A
Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy – five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a child ren’s ground.
As a result of his kindness, he became famous. Many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.
21. Johnson became a rich man through _______.

D. was very kind
23. Many people wrote to Johnson to find out _______.

B. how to live longer
C. how to become wealthy
D. in which part of the neck to have an injection
24. When Johnson said he had an injection in his neck each evening, he really meant that _______.

B
A family has been defined as a couple and their children, sharing a common house and dividing the work by gender. In general, the woman has to be at home, looking after her children, while the man works outside the home. In fact, in 2014, only 15 percent of all American families resembled the so-called typical American family.
Nuclear Family (The Formal Type!)
A nuclear family is considered to be the most traditional family, consisting
of a mother, a father, and the children. This family type holds a lot of respect by
society, known as the ideal one to raise children. It is believed that children
belonging to the two-parent structure families are stable. However, with changing
times, it has been observed that the nuclear structure has become less popular.
Single Parent Family (Mostly the Breadwinner Parent!)
A single parent is the one who looks after the child without the assistance
of the other par ent. The child can be by birth or adoption. Single parent families
are often the result of death of another parent, divorce of a couple with children,
or child abuse. There’s another case where adults who want children but do not have
a partner, adopt kids ― usually termed as single parent adoption.
Grandparent-led Family (The Wrinkled Affection!)
Lots of grandparents are raising their grandchildren today. Reasons can be
varied, like parents’ death, or unfit parents. Many grandparents need to go back to
their working phase for finding a source of income to raise their grandchildren.
Blended (混合的) and Step Family (Sometimes the Black Sheep Type!)
Two separate families blending together to form a single unit can lead to the
creation of a blended or step family. Step families are becoming common in America.
Over half of the marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals prefer getting
remarried, thereby creating the step family. It can consist of a new husband, a wife,
and their children from previous relationships or marriages. These families have more
problems because their kids do not get comfortable, and have adjustment and discipline
issues.
Extended Family (The More, The Merrier!)
An extended family is the one that enlarges beyond the immediate family, which
can consist of grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and so on, living under a single
roof. There are certain advantages to such family groups. The members (especially
children) feel more secure and safe due to elder guidance and sharing of resources
during a crisis, and have more role models to help maintain desired etiquette and
values.
Childless Family (Child-free Companions!)
While most people think of family as including children, there are couples who
are very young and intend to have children later, or those who cannot, or choose not
to have children. This type is also called the “forgotten family”, as it does not
meet the set in definition of family. It has been observed that many of the childless
families own pets or have external contacts with their nieces and nephews as a
substitute for having their own children.
As you can see, there are various family structures. The American society tends to promote the traditional family through various media; children who fall under other categories may feel that theirs is not a real family. They may get self-conscious about being part of a family which is “different”. In some cases, they might face social challenges, too.
25. All of the following may contribute to a single parent family EXCEPT .
A. a broken marriage
B. a bad-tempered parent
C. the death of one parent
D. a single adult adopting a child
26. According to the passage, in grandparent-led families, .
A. the children gain more respect from society
B. the children face more challenges in society
C. the “parents” give more guidance to children
D. the “parents” have to work again to raise children
27. What kind of family is most likely to keep a pet?
A. A nuclear family.
B. An extended family.
C. A childless family.
D. A step family.
28. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Life in a typical American family
B. Types of family structures in America
C. Family structures matter a lot in America
D. Different families have different values and needs
C
When most people talk of a classroom, they think of older people teaching younger ones. But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices, the oppos ite can often be true. That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia, Maryland. The 50 Plus Center provides free technology classes for adults aged 50 and older. The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children.
Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad. Ms. Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device and that she enjoys learning from younger people.
Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms. Stafford. He says, “You have to be really, really patient because some of them might not accept the knowledge as smoothly as others.” Meridy McCa gue, director
of the 50 Plus Center, says, “As people are aging, their worlds get a little smaller. Some of them can no longer drive; some of them don’t get out to make long trips to visit their relatives. The program brings them back into Facebook and Skype. Now, they can do everything from ordering things from Amazon to ordering groceries or meals. Teaching senior citizens about technology can prove helpful for the economy. As seniors get more excited about using the technology, they’re going into the mar ket place and buying some products. So that’s a boom in economy right there.”
Madison Lam is a 17-year-old teacher of the technology workshop. She says she also learns a lot from helping seniors.
Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen Center that operates the program. She says young people gain social skills from teaching older residents. This is something they need.
29. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Only older adults can be outstanding teachers.
B. Providing free classes for adults is an urgent need.
C. Learning high technology is necessary for children.
D. The classes’ difference mainly lies in the teachers’ age.
30. What is important when the young teach older adults?
A. Responsibility.
B. Experience.
C. Patience.
D. Interest.
31. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Older people’s worlds get a little smaller
B. It’s wonderful learning from younger people
C. Teens help seniors bridge technology gap
D. Seniors get excited about using high-tech devices
D
For most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis f or a new era of corporate sel f-regulation.
Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to get a refund (退款) for a clothes purchase.
One answer is for government to coo perate more: to recognize each other’s rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful (稀有的) for sober countries to accept. There is, however, another choice. Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.
In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines on-line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy f rom Switzerland instead.
Customers will still need to use their judgment, but precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. In
this way, at least, the advent(出现) of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.
32. In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?
A. Refuse to pay for the purchase.
B. Go to the seller and ask for a refund.
C. Appeal to consumer protection law.
D. Complain about it on the Internet.
33. In the author’s view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the
electronic world _______.
A. international cooperation would be much more frequent
B. consumers could easily seek government protection
C. a good reputation is a great advantage in competition
D. it would be easy for consumers to complain
34. We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is______.
A. very quick
B. very cautious
C. very slow
D. rather careless
35. According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?
A. Self-regulation by the business.
B. Strict Consumer protection laws.
C. Close international cooperation.
D. Government protection.

What will you do if you are in a period of struggle? Here are five ways to find strength for you to overcome the difficulties.
1. Get off the mouse wheel.
16 Like mice going round and round on the wheel, in tough times it is important that we don’t spin ourselves out by limited thinking. Getting off the wheel allows us to slow down to deal with the problem.
2. 17
Helen Keller once said, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” Faced with a lack of hope, the why me? thoughts can come up. We may ignore the very things that can possibly keep us grounded. Don’t forget to take care of yourself no matter how pointless it may feel.
3. Accept and let go, so you can heal and flow.
Without acceptance, it is very hard to move on. People hurt us or we make silly mistakes. 18 Accepting struggles as they are, learning from them and moving on will make us strong.
4. It is not weak to speak—talk to someone.
Don’t be too proud to talk to someone about your struggles. You may feel ashamed but it is one of the best actions you can take for yourself. 19 To open up helps with healing and overcoming troubles.
5. Learn from others.
Gaining advice from people we trust is very valuable in a struggle. 20 Those are the ones who encourage us to rise up again.
A. Don’t lose sight of who you are.
B. To keep the body in good health is a need.
C. Those who take courage to speak u p do themselves and others good.
D. That we focus on our happiness is the foundation of rising above struggles.
E. Life is never fully in our control and we do not know what tomorrow will bring.
F. When life throws us into struggling situations, what can make it worse is our attitude to it.
G. We need to surround ourselves with people who will sincerely let us know that there is hope.

I’m writing to you from my home in China. I returned home safe and sound. When thinking of the wonderful days I spent in Los Angeles , I just can’t help thinking of you. It was so kind of you to have provid ed everything to make my stay there such a happy experience. I’ve learned so much, not only English but also the culture.

Welcome to China when it’s convenient for you. I’ll be very glad to show you around. And you’ll surely have a pleasant visit here.
I’ll keep in touch and write to you later. Please take care!。
