After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
1.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that .
A. he had to live in a dark and silent world
B. a terrible traffic accident happened to him
C. he was struck by the lightning once more
D. nobody in the world cared about him
2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?
A. Taking a walk with a stick.
B. Driving a car.
C. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.
D. Lying on the ground.
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years.
B. Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
C. Robert could hear his wife’s shouting for help when he woke up.
D. The family’s love helped Robert regain confidence to live.

Chinese people had never paid more attention to the annual Nobel literature award than they did when Mo Yan became China’s first winner of the prize.
The effect has not disappeared. Tourists continue to rush to Mo’s home village in Gaomi, Shangdong province, which has become a tourist site since the author was awarded Nobel Prize. Visiting the village is to walk into the world he created in Red Sorghum Clan, one of his best-known novels, adapted for the award-winning film Red Sorghum by famous director Zhang Yimou in 1987.
About 210 hectares of red sorghum(高粱) is ready for harvesting, recalling this scene Mo wrote in the novel: "In the deep autumn of the eighth month under a high, clear sky, the land is covered by sorghum that forms a wild sea of blood. When the sun comes out, the surface of the sea shimmers(闪光), and heaven and Earth are painted with rich, wonderful colors."
Locals have planted the sorghum for the coming film of the novel’s TV adaptation starring actress Zhou Xun, in similar style to 1987 when Zhang’s film was filmed. But while the sorghum fields disappeared after the film was made, this time they may remain.“We have signed long-term contracts to sell sorghum to wine producers,”said Zhang Xinfu, head of Xianjia village, Mo Yan’s hometown is in the area.“Dozens of wine producers came to discuss the sorghum business after Mo Yan won the prize,” said Zhang. Zhang said the wine producers promised to pay a satisfying price for the sorghum.
1.What happened to Mo Yan’s home village after he won the Prize?
A. The house of Mo’s at his home village was rebuilt for tourism.
B. The local people at Mo’s home village welcomed the tourists.
C. Many tourists rushed to Mo’s home village to show respect and interest.
D. Mo’s home village remained what it used to be.
2.The underlined word “adapted” in paragraph2 probably means “___________”.
A. settled B. designed C. re-organized D. written
3.Which season was it when the passage was written?
A. Autumn. B. Winter. C. Spring. D. Unknown.
4.According to the text, we can infer that the wine producer bought sorghum from Mo’s home village for__________.
A. the fame of Mo Yan. B. good quality of the red sorghum itself.
C. the lower price D. the large amount of the red sorghum .

A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian(初步的) Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina.
Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality childcare center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children.
The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the childcare center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school.
Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child care program did much better in tests.
The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the childcare center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.
A few years ago, organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time, each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to go to college or to have completed college. In addition, the children who received early education were older on average, when their first child was born.
The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.
The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.
1.The Abecedarian Project has lasted ______.
A. almost one year B. about five years C. more than 20 years D. no more than 15 years
2.What do we know about the people who had been in the childcare center, compared with those who hadn’t?
A. They were more likely to go to college. B. They had children earlier．
C. They had the same results in tests. D. They are less sociable．
3.According to the passage, The Abecedarian Project__________.
A. involves children from rich families
B. doesn’t provide food for children
C. offers foreign teachers to help improve children’s language skills
D. studies the importance of an early education for poor children
4.What is NOT sure about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text?
A. How important early education is for poor children.
B. What the children learned at the child-care center.
C. How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project.
D. Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education.

Food pictures that you display on WeChat can look more stylish if you follow our tips. 36.1.
※ Styling accompanied by a story
2. Some might want to tell about the person who is eating the dish. Whether it’s your first meal at a Chinese restaurant or a birthday party at a cozy cafeteria, describe the surroundings and background as well as the reason that made you choose the food in the picture.
※ Choose natural lighting
Flash is not as flattering as natural light. The latter makes pictures look much better. The only problem is that you can hardly find natural light in bars, cafes and restaurants. 3. If you are having your lunch or dinner outside, remember to find a place with shadow since direct sunlight casts shadows on food and other items.
※ Pick your angle(视角)
Choose the right angle. One of the best positions is shooting from the top down. This is how you’ll show the whole table. You might sometimes need to climb on a chair to take that perfect shot! 4. You may try and hold your dish out in front of you. Do not hesitate to ask a random person to stand behind you and take the shot for you. Vertical pictures are also worth your attention.
