From time to time I travel to town from my new country home. On this particular Saturday, it was Adam’s turn to accompany me on the forty-five-minute drive---- a coveted(渴望的) pleasure.

Adam has a deep fondness of candy. If he knew there was a candy treat on the other side of a mountain， he would move the entire mountain, stone by stone, to get the treat.

When we arrived, we walked toward the store. But I found Adam had fallen silent — his stare falling on something further down the street.

There an old man sat by the store entrance, begging. His gray sweater had many holes exposing a dirty T-shirt. He sat with his back to the wall, his hands cupped around an empty hat.

“Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar and handed it to Adam and thought he would use it to buy his candy. “Thank you, daddy.” He went away and I went on to choose something we needed. After a while we left the store and walked a few feet to the corner. While waiting for the light, I felt Adam gently slip his hand from mine. I turned watching him as he walked back to the beggar giving his dollar.

When he came back, I hugged Adam saying, “Daddy is very proud of you, Adam. That was very thoughtful.”

“It certainly was,” confirmed(證實(shí)) a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man’s hat. “May I?” she asked as she leaned over to kiss Adam’s cheek. I nodded and smiled—Adam smiled.

“Look, daddy.” Adam was looking over my shoulder to the beggar. A small group of people had gathered around him placing money in his hat. I couldn’t help but recall a thought: A child shall lead them.

1.Why did Adam become silent when walking to the store?

A. Because he felt tired after the drive.

B. Because he noticed a beggar sitting by the store.

C. Because the beggar asked money from him.

D. Because he saw an old man sat before the store entrance.

2.What made the writer feel proud of his son?

A. Adam dared to walk alone on the busy road.

B. Adam was able to buy something for himself.

C. Adam shared his sweet with poor beggar.

D. Adam gave his money to the poor beggar.

3. What did the woman want to do by asking “May I?”

A. She wanted to show her praise by kissing Adam.

B. She asked if she could give the beggar some money.

C. She intended to give five dollars to Adam in return.

D. She hoped to kiss the writer for his act of kindness.

4. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that ____________.

A. a child is often the first to love others.

B. a child can take the lead in loving others.

C. a child usually needs others to lead him.

D. a child sometimes should be led to do things.

Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners．

One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week．The runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步機(jī)）．Sometimes they wore running shoes．Other times they ran barefoot．

Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot．They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels．

The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya．The researchers divided the runners into three groups．One group had always run shoeless．Another group had always run with shoes．And the third group had changed to shoeless running．

Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first．That puts great force on the back of the foot．But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot．That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels．

Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels．The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down first．Also，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings．

But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot．They say it takes some training．And there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured．

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.

B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.

C. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.

D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.

2. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that__________.

A. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes.

B. the landing point is very important in running.

C. running shoeless can give people a real exercise.

D. different running ways cause different injuries.

3.Why do people who run in shoes land on their heels?

A. Because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot.

B. Because the design of running shoes is unreasonable.

C. Because people who often run get used to landing on their heels.

D. Because the running people want to run faster.

4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes?

A. Positive. B. Persuasive.

C. Objective. D. Supportive.

Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which are thought to be responsible for global warming.

Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence(腸胃氣脹)contains no methane(甲烷)and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.

While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a huge chimney pushing out carbon dioxide, animals at home contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries. “Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from methane from cattle and sheep,” said Athol Kleve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.

And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they're actually up around 50 percent, ” he said.

Researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers. But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分離) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.

Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. People are still arguing about this, but about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.“It's low in fat, it’s got high protein levels and it's very clean in the sense that basically it's the free-range (放養(yǎng)的) animal,” said Peter Amp of the University of New South Wales's institute of environmental studies.

1.Scientists try to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep to __________.

A. help them fight against different diseases.

B. reduce the amount of greenhouse gases.

C. get rid of the bacteria in their stomachs.

D. protect them from quantities of harmful gas.

2. The advantage of transferring the bacteria to cattle and sheep is that_____________.

A. it will take the researchers a long time.

B. cattle and sheep will eat more than usual.

C. it will help the farmers to save money.

D. the bacteria will make them grow quickly.

3. From this passage we can infer that___________.

A. scientists still don’t know how to transfer the bacteria to cattle and sheep.

B. people in Australia depend on kangaroos for food at the present time.

C. 14% of the greenhouse gases in New Zealand is from cattle and sheep.

D. nobody in Australia will be allowed to farm cattle and sheep in the future.

At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have．I mean，he had a head，two arms and two legs，just like the rest of us．About nine O’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers，one of the older boys，what it was that made this Elvis guy so special．He told me that it was Elvis’s wavy hair and the way he moved his body．

About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤兒院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville，F(xiàn)lorida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut．That is when I got this big idea，which hit me like a ton of bricks．If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret，then that’s what I was going to get.

All the way to town I told everybody，including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town，that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day，just like him．

When I got my new Buster Brown shoes，I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis．

We finally arrived at the big barber shop，where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤兒)．I looked at the barber and said，“I want an Elvis hair cut．Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him，with a big smile on my face．“Let’s just see what we can do for you，little man，”he said．I was so happy when he started to cut my hair．Just as he started to cut my hair，the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing．She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head，like he was telling her“No”．Then he told me they were not allowed to give as Elvis hair cuts．Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor．

Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel．a(chǎn)nd then post to Instagram—it’s that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—yon order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!

The testaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online．They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．

The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for，if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life”campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．

The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a care in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．

A．a(chǎn) program used to share photos

B．a(chǎn) campaign of“Food for Life”

C．a(chǎn) restaurant free of charge

D．a(chǎn) new marketing project

A．Confused B．Interested

C．Opposed D．Unconcerned

3.“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_______．

A．raise the price of frozen food

B．create a new social media trend

C．a(chǎn)ttract more customers

D．reward the regular customers

4.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A．Food for Life B．The Pop-up Diner

C．No Need to Pay D．Pay by Picture

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we’ve never been before．But just as in face-to-face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． 1. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．

For anything you’re about to send：ask yourself,“Would I say this to the person’s face?”If the answer is no，rewrite and reread． 2.

At the same time，if you find you are wrong．be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age，sex and marital status．Unless you know the person very well，and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information，don’t ask such questions．

B．Everyone was new to the network once．

C．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face．
