Vicky Zhao is from the mainland working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can't stand is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自動(dòng)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 blocking(擋住) the way with their heavy suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hour. It makes me very angry.”

Agreeing that she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where people often pay no attention to “stand right, walk left” signs.

The reason behind the rule “stand right, walk left” seems clear. Even though you may want to have a rest and just wait 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 take the train.

But the people who stand on escalators will tell the walkers not to be so impatient. In a recent story about the escalator rule, one stander says, “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs？”

Many cities' escalators, including London's and Beijing's, use the “stand right, walk left” rule to speed up the movement of people. (In Australian cities like Sydney 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 people are asked to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people keep the “stand right, walk left” rule.

Whatever the escalator rule is in the place you live in 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.

There are many kinds of animals that live in the forest, such as mice, rabbits, squirrels and bears.

Animals in the forest depend on（依靠）one another for food. Many small forest animals, such as mice, eat green plants for food, and then larger animals eat them. This is called food chain. A food chain begins with the sun. The green plants in the forest use the sun’s energy to make food for themselves. It’s called photosynthesis(光合作用). Mice eat flowers and seeds that forest plants produce(生產(chǎn)). The mice get their energy from the plants, and the mice become food for a larger animal, such as the hunting hawk. So the energy from the sun passes from the plants to the mice to the hawk. A break（中斷）in any part of this food chain means some animals may not have enough food to eat.

1.Photosynthesis takes place when _____________.

A. larger animals eat small animals.

B. green plants use the sun’s energy to make food.

C. Forest animals eat the food made by green plants.

D. The food chain is broken.

2.What’s the first link（環(huán)） in a food chain?

A. The sun B. The earth C. Green plants D. Forests animals

3.Animals sometimes cannot find enough food because _____________.

A. it’s cloudy. B. there is very little food in a forest.

C. photosynthesis stops. D. there is a break in the food chain.

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

A. Animals in the world B. Food chain C. Plants and man. D. Animals are in danger.

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules，parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule—what the punishment will be.

Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威脅). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit (限制) his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.

It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you _______, they will feel guilty(內(nèi)疚的). When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.

Family rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure，are they helpful?

Can you remember a world before the Internet? If your answer is “No”, then you are probably a millennial. Millennials are the new generation of young Americans. They were born between 1982 and 1992. There are 33 million of them, and they are just starting to enter the workforce(勞動(dòng)力). Many experts believe that millennials are different from young Americans of past generations. They also believe that millennials will change the workforce in important ways.

How are millennials different? They are the first generation born in the computer age. The Internet has always been a part of their lives. They spend about 16 hours a week on the Internet, and this doesn’t include e-mail. And they spend 72 hours a week using other electronic media, including mobile phones and video games. They are “ nation speakers” of the language of the computer age. People who were born earlier will never be native speakers of that language. Why not? They did not grow up “ speaking” it.

How will millennials change the workforce? To answer that question, it is important to understand how millennials use the Internet. They use the Internet to communicate. They visit websites such as Face Book and My Space every day. They share ideas, music, information, games and friendships with people all over the world. When they start working, they will want to share their work and ideas with others.

It is also important to understand the way millennials grew up. Their parents and teachers gave them a lot of attention. They taught them that their opinions were valuable(有價(jià)值的). As a result, many millennials are very confident. At work, they will expect their co-workers and bosses to listen to their opinions.

Millennials also grew up with a lot of structures in their lives. Many of them went to school from the age of two or three and played on sports teams. At work, they will expect the rules to be clear. They will also expect a strong but fair boss, like a coach on a sports team.. They will follow the person in charge(主管) if he or she is fair. But they will not follow an unfair boss. They will also expect their work to be fun and creative, similar to their experience on a sports team.

These are a few of the changes that experts believe millennials will bring to the American workforce. But the world is changing very fast. There will probably be more changes that are difficult to imagine today.

Choose the best answer according to the passage.

1.According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Millennials belong to a new generation.

B. Millennials were born about ten years ago.

C. Millennials are entering the workforce.

D. Millennials know little about the world before the Internet.

2.Which is the main reason that makes the experts believe millennials are different from young Americans of past generations?

A. Millennials can speak a better native language.

B. Millennials grow up with computers and Internet.

C. Millennials use mobile phones and e-mails often.

D. Millennials spend long hours playing video games.

3.Why do the millennials expect to share their work and ideas with others?

A. Because they know how to use the Internet to make new friends.

B. Because they understand how to communicate with new friends.

C. Because they grow up sharing ideas, music, information, games and friendships with others by the Internet.

D. Because the Internet can provide all the information they need.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Millennials grow up with more attention from their parents and teachers.

B. Many millennials are showing more confident than others at work.

C. Many millennials give more valuable opinions to their co-workers and bosses.

D. Many of the millennials have had fun and creative experiences when they are on sports teams.

5.From the passage we know that_________.

A. the number of the millennials had come to 33 million by the end of 1982.

B. Most of the millennials learn native computer language in schools.

C. Millennials require their bosses to be healthier and the rules clearer at work.

D. More changes will probably be brought to the American workforce by millennials.
