Like most people, I have grown up hearing the story Cinderella, in which a young girl lived with her cruel stepmother and suddenly had her life changed by a kind fairy and a smart prince. So when to see Rodger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, which is now playing on Broadway, I was very excited, As soon as I sat down, I noticed the trees lining the stage ,which gave it a magical appearance. The orchestra started to play and the lights became dark as the show began.

I loved the entire performance. Everything and everyone on stage seemed like they had just jumped off the pages of the beloved story.

It turns out that the Broadway experts agree with me. The show has received nine Tony nominations(提名). Tony awards are the top prizes for Broadway shows. Laura Osnes, who plays the role of Cinderella, has been nominated for the Tony for best actress in a musical.

How similar is the show to the story of Cinderella you know? The answer, of course, depends on which version of the story you’ve seen or read. In an interview with TIME FOR Kids, Osnes pointed out that many people are familiar with the Disney movie version. There are some differences between that movie and the Broadway show. For one thing, the stepmother and the sisters are not as cruel in the show as in the movie. Also, in the Broadway version, when Cinderella escapes from the dancing party, she picks up her shoe after dropping it. So how does the prince find Cinderella again? You’ll have to see the show to find out!

I just think anyone would enjoy this play, including both kids and adults. The attention to detail is amazing. In my opinion, this play deserves a double thumbs-up!

Global Positioning Systems(GPS) are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype (網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話軟件). He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. BARRY BROWN: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”

Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. BARRY BROWN: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.”

It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues(時機問題) related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says, “ To make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.”

1.In paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _______.

A. build up his own reputation

B. laugh at his stupid friend

C. prove the GPS system is only garbage

D. describe an example of human error

2.What is the disadvantage of small screens in GPS equipment according to the text?

A. They just provide the next turn.

B. They are harmful to eyes.

C. They make drivers tired easily.

D. They often break down suddenly.

3.Which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree with?

A. GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.

B. We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.

C. Cameras are badly needed to help improve GPS systems.

D. Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

4.What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?

A. Unconcerned. B.subjective.

C. Objective. D. Critical.

5.Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of the passage?

A. Driving with GPS can be difficult.

B. Driving confusions can be caused by small screens.

C. Driving without GPS should be much more convenient.

D. GPS equipment in driving to be given up or improved

We’ve all felt discouragement at one point or another in our lives. However, when this emotion bleeds into other aspects of our life, it can sometimes be inappropriate or even harmful.

I was personally discouraged by an adult during my high school. After telling her what university I wanted to attend, she plainly told me I would not get in. I was completely shocked and angry at her statement. The adult may have not intended to hurt me with her words, but it had an after effect. The meeting made me think she had no belief that I could possibly succeed in the future. After that it caused me to try to avoid any future meeting with adults until absolutely necessary.

We are all human; therefore, we can all understand that some days are more challenging. But when people allow situations of stress to consume(充滿) them, they cannot perform their best. People should pay attention to how their reactions could affect the person they are interacting with. People have the potential to perform their best when they are indulged in the task at hand, but adults who come off in a rude and aggressive way through communication have an effect on teenagers’ mind.

Adults whether in schools, or any other institutions should work to tear down walls gently and create a safe space for the person they are serving. These adults should also help and contribute to a person’s academic, personal and professional growth. High school is an important time when young people need someone to believe in them.

In conclusion, I would like to add that it is not completely up to adults only. Students are responsible for seeking help from adults who are in authority(權(quán)威) positions. They are also responsible for the way they approach adults in their academic surroundings. Students can expect to be treated in a respectful way when they express at the beginning. Generally the responsibility lies on both parties. When both sides can communicate in a polite manner then the complete environment of the school has the potential to develop well.

1.The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the adults’ roles in school

B. the skill to encourage students

C. the way to communicate with children

D. the importance of personal professional growth

2.Who are responsible for children’s development at school according to the writer?

A. Students. B. Teachers.

C. Headmasters. D. Both students and teachers.

3.The underlined phrase probably “are indulged in” means “______”.

A. are weak in B. are amazed at

C. are interested in D. are unbearable with

4.The writer once tried to avoid meetings with adults because ______.

A. he was very busy

B. he thought highly of himself

C. he was once hurt by an adult

D. he couldn’t get high marks at school

Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are busy in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of money they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.

Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem — addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.

Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.

A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.

Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. What’s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.

Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.

1.Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?

A. Those who cannot control the amount of money they use.

B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls.

C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping.

D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.

2.According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?

A. The awareness of how market forces work.

B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success.

C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life.

D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.

3.What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?

A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.

B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.

C. Making the shopping time as short as possible.

D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.

4.The author writes this passage to _______.

A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers

B. provide solutions to the problem shopping

C. scold the problem shoppers

D. tell a shopping story

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning(放棄) an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen,I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

1.In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .

A. felt worried B. was angry

C. ate a little D. sat by the fire

2.Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .

A. saw her puppies

B. heard familiar barking

C. wanted to leave the author

D. found her way to her old home

3.The passage is organized in order of ­ .

A. time B. effect

C. importance D. Complexity

I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never while resting comfortably on their laurels (榮譽). The is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!

He he was racing those cars around a great track, which in was an imaginary circle around a golden statue (雕像). The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.

When his mother told him the time had come to ,the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this?” to the Oscar.

“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”

The horrified mother . “Put that back immediately!”

Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.

You may have learned to let go of past and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ?Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?
