I arrived home late one night last week. I spent a moment looking up into the night sky. The stars above shone(照耀) brightly. The sky looked really beautiful.

I started to think about other things as I stared at the night sky. It hit me clearly that these beautiful stars were always there but I had spent very little time in the past really appreciating them. It also reminded me that we often think we deserve many things around us, being too caught up in our own little world. It is a world filled with busy work and the demands placed on us from what we have allowed to take up our time.

Recently, I was asked to repair a house for a family member. When I arrived, it seemed like any other day when I spent my time doing something I knew how to do. But there was something else that came to mind as I started to work with my son-in-law. I considered it a good opportunity. The opportunity was more than just spending time repairing a house. It was an opportunity to further a bond between two people who are related by marriage but are unrelated through few experiences. It was an opportunity to build a stronger bond, a bond that can only happen when two people are exposed(暴露) to each other’s skills and faults. It was also an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with another who wanted to learn.

There are many chances to see beyond what is viewed as normal, but we must be able to actually open our eyes and heart to these events and appreciate them. To be in tune with what is around you, you must use the attitude of a child who screams with joy the first time they see a rainbow, hear the pretty song of a bird, or enjoy the beauty of Christmas decorations.

1.While looking at the night sky, the author realized that __________.

A. the sky wasn’t always beautiful

B. he had wasted his life for many years

C. he didn’t know what he really wanted

D. he didn’t appreciate things around him

2. What does the underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Relationship. B. Friendship.

C. Trust. D. Respect.

3.While repairing the house, the author considered it a good opportunity to _________.

A. learn some important skills

B. show others his skills and faults

C. become closer with his son-in-law

D. earn some money for his family

4. Why does the author talk about what a child does in the last paragraph?

A. Because children know what they really want.

B. Because children can help us think of our childhood.

C. Because children can enjoy the simple beauty of things.

D. Because children actually value family more than adults do.

Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool that can be connected to any object you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range. If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.

When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object—a dog, for example, or a stolen bike—go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “l(fā)ost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.

For further information, please visit www. tile666.com.

1.What can the Tile app help you ?

A. To use your phone more wisely

A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.

B. One smart phone can only be linked up with one Tile.

C. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of your phone’s Bluetooth range.

D. The Tile cannot be linked up with a phone without Bluetooth.

3.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. What the Tile app is.

B. The advantages of the Tile app.

C. How the Tile app works.

D. Why the Tile app was created.

4.Where does the passage probably come from?

Picking up objects plays an important role in people’s life. El-E is a robot that is designed to get everyday objects for people with disabilities.

About 1.5 meters tall, with a single robotic arm that can pick up objects at different heights, El-E is equipped to discover what its owner wants and then go and fetch it. The user can point a location to the robot using a “point-and-click” way of interaction, which provides a direct way to tell the robot which object to handle or where to go. The robot can adapt the position of its arm in order to grasp the object.

After successful early trials, some scientists expanded El-E’s functions and tried to combine voice commands with the laser (激光) in order to do more complicated tasks, like opening doors. The robot recognizes words such as “pull” or “push” and performs the action on an object illuminated by the laser. In order to add more functions, project director Prof. Charlie and his colleagues are focusing on programming El-E to locate and fetch common household items such as a hairbrush, a bottle of pills or a cell phone.

The robot is also designed to learn from its mistakes. “If it fails to fetch an object, it will recognize it and try again,” Charlie said. Formal studies have shown El-E to be a good worker. In 127 out of 134 trials, the robot successfully picked up the requested object.

1.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To describe different types of El-E.

B. To predict the development of El-E.

C. To introduce the functions of El-E.

D. To stress the importance of El-E.

2.The underlined part “point-and-click” in Paragraph 2 refers to .

A. a method through which people give commands

B. a machine that can be used to replace the robot

C. a signal used to show the robot where the object is

D. a button that controls the actions of the robot

3.How do Charlie and his colleagues develop El-E?

A. By having it communicate with more people.

B. By making it able to fetch more items.

C. By letting it pick up objects more accurately.

D. By getting it changeable at different occasions.

4.From the text, we can learn that_______.

A. robots are getting more and more popular

B. robots are quicker than human beings

C. more and more people begin to develop robots for the disabled

D. correcting mistakes can help the robot work more successfully

Allow me to introduce you to Terry, a window salesman from England. If I could take you back about 20 years, you’d know Terry as a complete green hand, who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted. A person couldn’t sell false teeth to his own Granny, let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry. You know, the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos.

Terry’s boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day. So off he went, but he was extremely nervous. With his hands and his knees shaking, he approached the front door and knocked at is. And old woman appeared. After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits, the woman signed a contract and purchased over $7,000 worth of windows.

The woman had already talked with 6 excellent salesmen that week, all of whom offered her cheaper ones! That’s right---Terry’s price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was.

So, what happened then? Here comes the secret. The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others. That’s all there was to it. She didn’t care about the extra expense. Even the other salesmen couldn’t persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for.

The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman’s talk. First impressions count, not the sales techniques, not the low prices. The actual “personality” the kid honestly gave was all that was required. If you market your own products and services, consider what impression you are giving to others. If you appeal to them, then you’ve already done half of the work. If this means redesigning your presentation, then so be it. If this means going out of your way to be polite, helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers, the so be it.

1.When Terry was offered the job of salesman, he .

A. was good at sales techniques

B. was too young to do it

C. was believed in by his boss

D. knew little about sales skills

2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 suggests that .

A. Terry couldn’t trade with Eskimos

B. Terry loved his Granny more

C. Terry was too honest to do the job

D. Terry was afraid to compete

3.What made the young lad succeed in selling the window to the old woman?

A. Being honest and childish.

B. First impression of good personality.

C. High quality and expensive window.

D. Strange ways of sales.

4.The passage is most likely written to .

A. new salesmen

B. general readers

C. window makers

D. new graduates

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(產(chǎn)業(yè))there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(調(diào)味品).

Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(劇本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.

Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戲裝) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.

1.What is Not True about Mumbai?

A. It is the movie capital of India.

B. The new name is Bombay.

C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.

D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.

2.Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?

A. They have spicy stories.

B. They show Indian culture.

C. They mix different styles of movies.

D. They are much longer than Hollywood films.

3.Bollywood movies are cheap to make because_______

A. the scripts are written by hand.

B. they are shorter than Hollywood films.

C. the movies do not use any special effects(特效).

D. some movie reuses things from other movies.

4.Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?

C. Most Bollywood movie are very similar.
