              Two weeks ago, a 7-year-old girl, Chloe Bridgewater wrote a letter to Google, expressing her interest in working for the tech company when she gets older. “Dear Google boss, my name is Chloe and when I am bigger I would like a job with Google,” she wrote. “I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the Olympics.” The student said she liked computers and had a tablet she played games on. She even showed off a robot game that her dad gave her.

              It wasn’t long before Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, replied wit his own letter on Google website. In a letter dated Feb. 3, Pichai wrote, “Dear Chloe, I’m glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if you keep working hard and follow your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to. I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school!”

              Her father, Andy Bridgewater told ABC News he was completely shocked that his daughter received a reply. But he wasn’t surprised that she decided to write the letter in the first place. “She’s got determination. She doesn’t see the barriers that we face every day,” he explained. “If she wants to do it, she will set out to do it and nothing will stop her.”

              The father remarked that his daughter began jumping up and down after receiving the letter. Still, he’s not in a rush to send his eldest daughter off to work. “Now, my daughter is confident, although she hasn’t yet fully understood that it will take more efforts than finishing her study to make it with Google,” he said.

              (1) Chloe’s letter to Pichai shows us that she ____________.

              A. expects to be one of the Google members
              B. has a talent for making robots

              C. makes up her mind to study hard
              D. buries herself in computer games

              (2) We can know from the text that ____________.

              A. the girl wrote the letter to Pichai on February 3

              B. there are two children in Bridgewater’s family

              C. Andy hadn’t expected a reply from Pichai at all

              D. Google is sure to hire Chloe after her graduation

              (3) What is the main idea of the text?

              B. CEO of Google responds to a girl’s letter

              C. A father forbids his girl to work for Google

              D. Google decides to employ its youngest clerk

              Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．
              Then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．
              The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends．
              The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores．
              Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．
              And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store．And privacy of personal information may be let out．
              (1) Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?
              ①small stores     ②superstores      ③shopping malls       ④shopping online      ⑤supermarkets
              A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①⑤②③④ C. ①⑤③②④ D. ②③④①⑤
              (2) Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?
              A. Shopping malls B. Small stores
              C. Supermarkets D. Superstores
              (3) Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?
              A. Because they are built near small towns．
              B. Because they are across the United States．
              C. Because they sell all kinds of products people need．
              D. Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the price．
              (4) What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?
              A. Wasting time．
              B. Leaking personal information．
              C. Fixed prices．
              D. No chance to do physical activities

              Ten years ago I used to be very fit （健康的）．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends．I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks．In those days I didn't earn very much．I had a job in an office．It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing．

              There's a lot of stress （压力） in my job．Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to．For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several．I started smoking a lot，too．I never used to smoke at all．

              Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job．Perhaps I could do something like I used to do．But if I do that，I won't earn as much．I have a family to support．I have to think of them，too．I just don't know what I should do．What do you think？

              Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game．
              Many people like the action of cheating．It makes difficult things seem easy，like getting all the right answers on the test．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test---unless the person cheats again．
              Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them．The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade．And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home，too．
              Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating．Even when there seems to be a"good reason"for cheating，cheating isn't a good idea．
              If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this．And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school．
              A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together．Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating．

              (1) The author thinks that when kids cheat in class， ______ ．
              A. it is unfair to other people
              B. it does harm to their health
              C. teachers should punish them
              D. teachers shouldn't stop them at once
              (2) Some students like cheating mainly because ______ ．
              A. the material in the test is very difficult
              B. they want to do better than the others
              C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy
              D. they have little time to study their lessons
              (3) The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______ ．
              A. cheating isn't a good idea
              B. why kids cheat in the test
              C. some kids can't pass the test without cheating
              D. some kids don't spend the time studying
              (4) We can learn from the passage ______ ．
              A. cheaters are often thought highly of
              B. people show no respect for those who cheat
              C. parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
              D. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
              (5) In the passage those cheaters are advised to ______ ．
              A. spend more time on school than on sports
              B. find good solutions instead of cheating
              C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy

              Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest．But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults．
              Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health．That's true for both teens and adults．The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health．
              So they followed 171teens，starting when the kids were just 13．They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens'closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships．The same 171people were interviewed again at ages 25，26and 27．This time，the questions surveyed each person's overall health．When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen's behavior and adult health．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults．The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health．Weight，family income and drug use were all examined．So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression．And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did．
              Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work．And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs．Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges．"Finding the right balance is the key．Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy．"And，he adds，"Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face．"

              (1) Where can you probably read this passage？ ______
              A. Science fiction
              		B. Health column
              C. Fashion magazine
              		D. Entertainment newspaper
              (2) We can learn from Allen's study that ______ ．
              A. many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships
              B. mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health
              C. the same 171teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27
              D. the teens who couldn't express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
              (3) According to what Allen said，we can know that ______ ．
              A. in order to do better at school，teens should not follow the crowd
              B. though it's challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure，they should not give up
              C. teens will engage in smoking，drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure
              D. parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends

              A. There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd．
              B. Close friendships are the most important for people's health．
              C. Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults．

              It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man．College，carrier，and life itself got in the way．In fact，Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams．There，in the rush of his busy life，Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son．He was working on his future，and nothing could stop him．
              Over the phone，his mother told him，"Mr．Belser died last night．The funeral is Wednesday．"Memories fleshed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days．
              "Jack，did you hear me？"
              "Oh，sorry，Mom．Yes，I heard you．it's been so long since I thought of him．I'm sorry，but I honestly thought he died years ago，"Jack said．
              "Well，he didn't forget you．Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing．He'd reminisce （回忆） about the many days you spent over‘his side of the fence'as he put it，"Mom told him．
              "I loved that old house he lived in，"Jack said．

              "He's the one who taught me carpentry．I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him．He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important．Mom，I'll be there for the funeral．"Jack said．
              Busy as he was，he kept his word．Jack caught the next flight to his hometown．Mr．Belser's funeral was small and uneventful．He had no children of his own，and most of his relatives had passed away．
              The night before he had to return home，Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time，which was exactly as he remembered．Every step held memories．Every picture，every piece of furniture …Jack stopped suddenly．
              "What's wrong，Jack？"his Mom asked．
              "The box is gone，"he said．
              "What box？"Mom asked．
              "There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk．I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside．All he'd ever tell me was‘the thing I value most'，"Jack said．
              It was gone．Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it，except for the box．He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it．
              "Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him，"Jack said sadly．
              Returning to his office the next day，he found a package on his desk．The return address caught his attention．
              "Mr．Harold Belser"it read．
              Jack tore open the package．There inside was the gold box and an envelope．Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside，
              "Upon my death，please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett．It's the thing I valued most in my life．"A small key was taped to the letter．His heart racing，and tears filling his eyes．Jack carefully unlocked the box．There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch．Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover，he opened it．
              Inside he found these words carved："Jack．Thanks for your time!Harold Belser．"
              "Oh．My God!This is the thing he valued most …"
              Jack held the watch for a few minutes，then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days．"Why？"his assistant asked．
              "I need some time to spend with my son，"he said．

              It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

              Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,“Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

              At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better,”he said.I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up.“Just take it,”she replied.“I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”

              By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived,and were attending to the injured woman.As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

              Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him,“My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

              At that,the old man started crying and said,“Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother’s Day to you.”

              The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
