              Benjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from camel's hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
              The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long,the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
              The cat's lot was about to improve. That year,one of Benjamin's cousins,Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings (版画)by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
              In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington retured for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.
              In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting.Wiliam Wiliams,a well-known painter,came to see him work.Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,"Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night."While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.

              A. Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia.

              B. The cat would get some medical care.
              C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly.
              D. Benjamin would have real brushes soon.

            • 4.
              Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
              Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.
              Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn't want to mess with that.
              Another 15minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow coms to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
              This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who"ruined"it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized(使…永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.
              Perhaps we all live in each others'space.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.
              That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.

              (1) What happened when the author was about to take a photo? ______
              A. Her camera stopped working.
              B. A woman blocked her view.
              C. Someone asked her to leave
              D. A friend approached from behind.
              (2) According to the author,the woman was probably ______
              A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience
              C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past
              (3) In the author's opinion,what makes the photo so alive? ______
              A. The rich color of the landscape.
              B. The perfect positioning of the camera.
              C. The woman's existence in the photo.
              D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
              (4) The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ______
              A. the need to be close to nature
              B. the importance of private space
              C. the joy of the vacation in Italy
              D. the shared passion for beauty
              (5) The passage can be seen as the author's reflections upon ______
              A. a particular life experience
              B. the pleasure of traveling
              C. the art of photography
              D. a lost friendship.

              This month,Germany's transport minister,Alexander Dobrindt,proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆).They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.
              The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the"death valley"of autonomous vehicles:the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.
              Dobrindt wants three things:that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel-to check email,say-the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash.
              "The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,"says Dobrindt.It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers,he says.
              Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers,consumers and lawyers."The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,"says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds,UK.
              An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars,introduces earlier this year,insists that a human"be watchful and monitoring the road"at every moment.
              But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars."When you say‘driverless cars',people expect driverless cars."Merat says."You know-no driver."
              Because of the confusion,Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.
              Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own,says Ryan Calo at Stanford University,California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore,where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.
              That would go down poorly in the US,however."The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,"says Calo.

              (1) What does the phrase"death valley"in Paragraph 2 refer to? ______
              A. A place where cars often break down.
              B. A case where passing a law is impossible.
              C. An area where no driving is permitted.
              D. A situation where drivers'role is not clear.
              (2) The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to ______
              A. stop people from breaking traffic rules
              B. help promote fully automatic driving
              C. protect drivers of all ages and races
              D. prevent serious property damage
              (3) What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars? ______
              A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.
              B. It should be the main concern of law makers.
              C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.
              D. It should involve no human responsibility.
              (4) Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in ______
              A. Singapore B. the UK C. the US D. Germany
              (5) What could be the best title for passage? ______
              A. Autonomous Driving:Whose Liability?
              B. Fully Automatic Cars:A New Breakthrough
              C. Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed!
              D. Driverless Cars:Root of Road Accidents.

              Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids.According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights,even though they have to get up early.Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day,and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.
              How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age.Babies need a lot of rest:most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours.For most school-age children,ten hours is ideal(理想的).But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours.And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime?Watch TV.
              "More children are going to bed with TVs on,and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake,with more homework,the Internet and the phone,"says Dr.Mary Carskadon,a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep.Other experts say part of the problem is chemical.Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies develop adult characteristics,but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
              Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers,some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to.Three years ago,schools in Edina,Minnesota,changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am.Students,parents and teachers are pleased with the results.

              (1) What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on? ______
              A. American kids'sleeping habits.
              B. Teenagers'sleep-related diseases.
              C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness.
              D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.
              (2) How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day? ______
              A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours.
              (3) Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon? ______
              A. They are affected by certain body chemicals.
              B. They tend to do things that excite them.
              C. They follow their parents'examples.
              D. They don't need to go to school early.

              Enough “meaningless drivel”.That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

              The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report,released last week,has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark(认证标记)to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

              “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,”says Andrew Miller,the chair of the committee.Instead,he says,firms should provide a plain﹣English version of their terms.The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

              It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme,but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis.“we need to think through how we make that work in practice,”says Miller.

              Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark?“I think if you went and did the survey,people would like to think they would,”says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton,UK,who studies open data.“We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.”But what would happen in practice is another matter,he says.

              Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand,but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new.“We still don’t know how significant the long﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20years’time,”he says.

              Shadbolt,who gave evidence to the committee,says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving.Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently,he says.

              The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect,even if users have apparently permission,show that the current situation isn’t working.If properly administered,a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to.Although they would still have to actually read them.

              A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

              D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

              I'm a 34-year-old man,married,lived in a nice house,and have a successful career as an educational consultant.But my life was not always so great.I had a learning disability from an early age.I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help.Still,I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.
              My life improved remarkably when I discovered art.The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words.I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土).Here I learned my first important lesson:disabled as I was in language.I could still be smart and well express myself with clay.And my confidence came along.
              I got my next lesson from rock climbing.It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start.I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing; it was practice.So I did it more.After about five years of climbing,I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall.I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time,you will get better at it.
              Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write.Every day I practiced reading and writing,which I used to avoid as much as possible.After two hard years,I was literate.
              Having gone through the long process with art,rock climbing,and reading and writing,now I've got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown,hard,but interesting.
