When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to ________ my town. I couldn't change the town and as a(n) ________ man, I tried to change my ________. Now, as an old man, I ________ the only thing I can change is myself and ________ I realize that if long ago I had change myself, I could have made an impact on my family and ________ on our town.

When the sand began kicking up and hitting our faces, I started to worry that maybe we had made a mistake.

That afternoon, my dad had stood on the deck (露臺) of our home and laughed as our neighbors packed up their cars and headed inland. They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.

Challenging the weather that threatened to damping our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado (龍卷風(fēng)) was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.

Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.

“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled (爬) beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.

My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.

“Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s. Okay?” my dad said.

1.What did the family do before the storm came?

A. The

B. They stayed on the beach.

C. They packed up the cars.

D. They visited their neighbors.

2.What was the family’s immediate action when they saw the tornado approach?

A. Running away at once.

B. Praying in silent terror.

C. Crawling on the ground.

D. Closing their eyes tightly.

3.Where did the family stay in the storm?

A. Inside the car. B. In a basement.

C. Under a deck. D. Behind a door.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Life on the beach B. Surviving a Storm

C. An Unusual Cottage D. My Admirable Family

Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering around the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.

Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.

Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying”. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.

But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.

We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen, but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!

1.The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to ________.

A. introduce the topic

B. give two examples

C. compare different opinions

D. get answers from readers

2.According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming?

A. The lack of time.

B. The comfort of the sofa.

C. The shortness of money.

D. The security of the product.

3.The author’s attitude towards showrooming is ________.

A. criticalB. neutralC. casualD. supportive

According to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else. Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.

Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (適度地) happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.

“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.

They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.

“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.

Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.

“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社會的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.

They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.

“These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations (分配) --as little as $5--may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.

1.According to the passage, ________.

A. the more money you spend on others, the happier you are

B. spending money on others can bring you happiness

C. Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business School

D. six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment

2.The 16 employees mentioned in the passage _________.

A. were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonus

B. had more happiness than the size of the bonus itself

C. experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonus

D. felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities

3.Dunn’s statement suggested that ________.

A. those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earned

B. those who spent more money on themselves felt happier

C. people thought spending money could make themselves happier

D. the money spent was as important as the money earned

4.The best title of this passage is ________.

A. Experiment on Money Spending

B. Devoting Your Money to Charities

C. Spending Money on Others Makes One Happier

D. Bonus and Pro-social Spending
