Marlene Dietrich is finally to be honored by her home city, Berlin.

For more than half a century, the famous film star won huge fame in Hollywood, but remained a highly controversial（引起爭議的） figure in Germany.

When the city’s new film museum is opened on September 26, three of its 15 rooms will show the star’s possessions collected over a lifetime.

In addition to various collections by Marlene, visitors will be able to see all Marlene Dietrich’s movies. There will also be key except for a vast range of Germany-made films.

Dietrich became a world star after her wonderful performance in a movie. After that, she turned her back on Germany, horrified by the sudden movement of Nazi in her hometown.

A few years after the war, the star was persuaded to pay a short visit to Berlin. But the trip proved a disaster. At a city hall gathering in West Berlin, crowds turned out to see her, but not all friendly.

She was attacked at times. She found herself being blamed for wearing an American uniform during the war to please U.S. troops in Europe. She was also scolded for “turning her back on the country”.

Dietrich, deeply hurt, decided she would never return to Berlin again. But she softened her judgment.

When she died in Paris in 1972, it was at her express wish that her body should be sent back to Berlin for burial alongside her mother in a local cemetery.

1.From the second paragraph, we can get to know that ________.

A. Germans were narrowed-minded

B. Germans were difficult to get along with

C. all Germans admired Dietrich

D. some Germans disliked Dietrich

2.The underlined sentence “she turned her back on Germany” (in paragraph 5) means ________.

A. Dietrich looked down upon her country

B. Dietrich turned away from her country

Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.

A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.

Many people say “yes” to those kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.

Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.

“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriel Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risk losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”

The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.

In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.

But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.

Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”

Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual(相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”

When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.

1. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ____________.

A. they don’t care about their own interests and feelings

B. they don’t know they will regret afterwards

C. they have already been used to saying “yes”

D. they care more about others’ affection

2. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?

A. Just say you can’t help him.

B. Say sorry to him.

C. Refuse him clearly.

D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.

3. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?

A. Say yes to him.

B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance.

C. Just go away.

D. Say no to him.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A. You Need Courage to Say “No”

B. “Yes” More than “No”

C. Nobody Has the Right to Say “No”

D. It’s Easy to Say “Yes”

Put technology in the hands of someone like Elon Musk and it can send people into space, make a future of clean and renewable energy a reality, or build electric cars. Put in your hands, and it can help you achieve all sorts of things, from learning to code to learning a language.

Educational apps are becoming increasingly popular as a supplement(補(bǔ)充), and sometimes as an alternative

(替代物), to traditional education. Why? Well, for starters, it’s extremely convenient to learn on a pocket-sized device that you already carry around with you at all times. The best apps are also highly interactive and adaptive, coaxing you in and getting you hooked on learning.

But apps, just like textbooks and language lessons, are a medium through which a language can be studied. The way you use them will affect how successful you are. If you flick through a textbook and don’t dare say a word in your language lessons, you’ll make slow progress. The keen reader who repeats each exercise in the textbook and engages the teacher in the conversation will move ahead. So how do you ensure you get the most out of your app, and what should you consider before you install(安裝) one?

Before that, a very quick introduction: I developed the following five points from my experience as both a language teacher and learner, and from working in startups in the field of language. I spent six years teaching in Germany and Spain as well as developing a video learning startup. However, I first came to language learning late. I started learning Spanish at 22, and was able to use Spanish and German freely by about 28. I’ve been using language apps for the last few years, and participated in two successful one-week challenges to go from zero to hero in Italian and French. If you’re interested, you can see the French challenge here.

So, just before downloading an app, here’s what you should think about…

1.We infer that Elon Musk is most probably __________.

A. an app developer

B. a language teacher

C. a professor at college

D. an engineer and tech company owner

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Causing you to get tired of learning.

B. Encouraging you to interact with others.

C. Making you keep learning the language.

D. Providing new leaning methods for you.

3.What does the author want to show by giving the example of how one uses a textbook?

A. Doing exercise is important.

B. Different people learn differently.

C. Textbooks have become out of date.

D. We should use a language learning app correctly.

More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (復(fù)活節(jié)滾彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme(主題) of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady s“Let' s Move!”program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal(目標(biāo)) to get children to eat right and keep moving.

“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.

Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that "exercise isn't just hard work, it' s play. If you're running around with your dog, you're getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that's exercise. But if you're sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you're not exercising.”

The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. "And if you are active, you can splurge (揮霍) a little more," she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite "splurge food" is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.

“A lot of kids look up to(敬仰) athletes, and I think it's important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. "Kids aren' t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He's practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”

1.The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to ________.

A. help kids keep healthy

B. train more young reporters

C. encourage kids to eat more eggs

D. invite kids to visit the White House

2.In Mrs. Obama’s opinion, exercise ________.

A. can be fun to do

B. means hard work

C. should be done outdoors

D. requires special equipment

3.“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when ________.

A. you don' t hurt yourself

B. you have a special snack

C. you never eat French fries

D. you eat right and stay active

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. All kids want to be LeBron James.

B. It is very easy to form good habits.

C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.

D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.
