On November 15th, 2014, children aged 8 to 12 got together in five cities around the world to participate in the first Global Children’s Designation. The event that was organized by a Dutch company called Unexpect, challenged kids to come up with solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems in a day!
The day began with the kids listening to the various challenges that were related to their particular cities and towns. The teams were then asked to brainstorm about which problem they were going to handle and how. There were so many amazing ideas produced on that day.
While some of the ideas were far from perfect, there were many that could be practical like the smart cars which can ease traffic pressure by telling traffic lights of its arrival and also guiding the drivers to the best possible route(路线).
Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect, says the purpose of the project is to introduce children to skills they probably never learn in class. She says that for most part, schools focus on teaching things that they will most likely never need to know again. She believes that for kids to be successful in the world, they should be learning how to be creative, handle new technologies and deal with unexpected situations.
Though the first global design challenge was relatively small, involving only a few hundred of the two billion youngsters that are bursting with ideas, the next one will be much bigger. That’s because in 2015, Unexpect plans to distribute free tool kits(成套工具) to any school that is interested in hosting their own Children’s Designation Challenge. We can’t wait to see what ideas kids will come up with next.
1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. kids have to solve given problem
B. only few kids have amazing ideas
C. kids have to solve the problem separately
D. kids are free to choose to solve any problem
2.What does the project of Unexpect aim to do?
A. To improve school education.
B. To share achievements of technologies.
C. To develop children’s creativity.
D. To predict some unexpected situations.
3.What will Emer plan to do to make the next global design challenge bigger?
A. Reward children with much more money
B. Call on schools to teach some common skills
C. Provide more schools with some tools for free
D. Invite all schools to participate in the project
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Children’s crazy ideas for the country
B. The first Global Children’s Designation
C. Emer Beamer, the founder of Unexpect
D. How to solve the world’s urgent problems

On a rainy night three years ago my dear mom went to accompany her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and l headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rural, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl I could sing before I could talk.
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deathly so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there wordless, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
1. From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.
A. passed away three years ago
B. left the small farm with Lord
C. left for Lord to live her own way
D. preferred to be with Lord
2. The underlined word “reminisced” in the last but one paragraph probably means ________.
A. recalled B. comforted
C. shouted D. sighed

A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song on the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited
D. the place was rural, with no indoor plumbing or heat
4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled “Singles Day” on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, please read on.
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns” card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four “ones”. These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it’s important that each person pay their own fee to show their independence. People also hold “blind date” parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives.
Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend “blind date” parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning “single” the four “ones” of the date can also mean “only one” as in “the only one for me.” Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their heart.
1.Singles Day got its name because _______.
A. the persons who play Mahjong are four singles
B. the date consists of four “ones”
C. only single persons celebrate the day
D. it was first celebrated at universities in Nanjing
2.Which of the following is wrong?
A. Singles Day was first celebrated in Nanjing’s universities.
B. Many singles choose Singles Day to say goodbye to their single lives.
C. The only way to celebrate the Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends.
D. It was these college graduated students that carried their university’s tradition into society.
3.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. the four singles did not get married
B. Singles Day receives great popularity among young people
C. when having dinner, one pays the fee for all his friends
D. on Singles Day many attend parties where blind people were present
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Origin of Singles Day. B. How to Celebrate Singles Day.
C. Singles Day. D. Say Goodbye to Singles Day.
