My husband and I were taking care of Lizzy, our daughter Melanie’s pet dog, on April 17 while Melanie was in the early stages of labour at the hospital. We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s first child.

“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!” I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door — but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.

My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” We shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased (追赶) her up and down our Bellwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” We both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”

Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.

With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room. My husband and I are forever grateful to the strangers who might have saved Lizzy’s life and who enabled us to be there at the beginning of a precious new one.

1.Why was the author going to the hospital?

A.Because she was out of condition that day.

B.Because she was about to give birth.

C.Because her daughter’s first child was ill.

D.Because her grandchild was due pretty soon.

2.How did the author feel while Tom was running after the dog?

A.Impatient B.Concerned

C.Thankful D.Regretful

3.Where was the dog finally caught?

A.On Wireless Road. B.In a safer area.

C.On Bellwood Avenue. D.In the author’s car.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?

A.To show us how they got back their pet dog.

B.To express their sincere appreciation to the kind strangers.

C.To inform us how they managed to see their daughter in time.

D.To tell us what trouble their pet dog has caused them.

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus had arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem. Be impatient will probably waste all the effort what we have put in. Now whenever I am about to losing my patience, I will think of this experience.

Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information. But what would happen in practice is another matter,” he says.

Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.

Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.

1.What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.

C.Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.

D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

2.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether_______.

A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme

B.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think

C.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale

D.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

3.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because_______.

A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old

B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand

C.the information they collected could become more valuable in future

D.it remains unknown how users’data will be taken advantage of

4.The writer advises users of social media to_______.

A.think carefully before posting anything onto such websites

B.read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark

C.take no further action if they can find a kitemark

D.avoid providing too much personal information

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.

After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

1.What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

A.To request a wage increase from his boss.

B.To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

C.To celebrate his success with his wife at home.

D.To ask his boss to come for dinner.

2.On his way back home, Andrew _________.

A.felt weak in the knees

B.was punished by the traffic policeman

C.was too anxious to share the news

D.couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal

3.Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?

A.Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.

B.Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.

C.Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.

D.One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.

4.We can conclude from the text that ______.

A.we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us

B.work hard and you will be rewarded

C.many fears turn out to be unfounded

D.unconditional love brings courage and strength

Nowadays medical technology seems to be advanced enough for doctors to perform brain transplants (移植). Though this procedure has only been successfully performed on animals so far, doctors are still hoping to perform this procedure on humans. However, in my opinion, brain transplants should not be performed at all, especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.

Despite many benefits technology brings, I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adolescence our mind developed into who we are, so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. No one should steal our identity from us, even if we are seriously injured, and change it to a completely new one. Also for the people who have died with healthy brains, that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.

Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are “healthy” or “normal” brains. An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as a younger person’s brain. Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it? This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence, gender, or physical problems that a person might have had before death. Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept “alive” after death and how it can be kept “alive” without damage.

Overall, my feelings about this surgery are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and obstacles (障碍) that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful.

1.Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all?

A.The cost of the surgery is extremely high.

B.Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants.

C.A good many problems and side effects may arise.

D.This procedure has only been successful on animals.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.People shouldn’t give their healthy brains to others.

B.Having a brain transplant means losing one’s identity.

C.Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones.

D.Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others.

3.What do we know about “healthy” brains?

A.Aged brains aren’t healthy brains. B.Young brains are always healthy.

C.Healthy brains cannot be kept “alive”. D.It’s very difficult to tell healthy brains.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To encourage brain donation.

B.To stress the importance of brain operation.

C.To argue against brain transplants on humans.

D.To introduce the technology of brain transplants.
