I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.

The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.

She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich.

My mother preferred to know where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed “sick” in order to miss school.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

People need light for daily activities, but in some places in the world, access to reliable power is a problem, and natural disasters can make the matter worse.

Andrea Sreshta and Anna Stork understand how important light is to people in need. After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Andrea and Anna, then graduate students in architecture and design at Columbia University, wanted to do something to help.

So as a school assignment, they designed a lighting product that was lightweight, portable　 and　 wireless,　 something　 that　 might　 help　 improve　 the　 safety　 and　 living conditions of Haitians. The result was the LuminAID light. An inflatable( 可充气的 )plastic, waterproof rectangle light that can be recharged with solar power. What was only a school project for them soon became something much more when friends and contacts began sending the lights to those in need.

In their final year of architecture school, Andrea and Anna filed a patent for the lamp, and shortly after graduating, they went to India to conduct field tests on their prototype( 维形). Anna says visiting villages without stable access to electricity was really meaningful to them. “It helped us understand the houses and the conditions that these people were living in. And what was so interesting is one of the villages that we’ve visited. The house was made out of really thick cement( 水泥), so even in the daytime, it was completely dark inside the house. So we saw real need for portable lighting, “Anna says.

In 2011, Andrea and Anna launched their business LuminAID. They say that after hearing from people who use the lights, they now realize how important their product is.

1.How did Andrea and Anna help Haitians?

A.They invented a type of light for Haitians.

B.They donated some money to Haitians.

2.What can we learn about the LuminAID light?

A.It’s originally a school task.

B.It’s sold only to individuals in need.

C.It’s for villagers with stable access to electricity.

D.It helps understand the conditions of the villagers.

3.Why did Andrea and Anna go to India?

A.To find the need for portable lighting.

B.To visit some interesting villages.

C.To apply for patent on the lamp.

D.To test their lighting product in the target market.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Give Light, Get Light

B.Little Light, Big Difference

C.Andrea and Anna’s Journey of Learning

D.A New Access to Reliable Power

A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London.　 Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.

Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time.　 This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. "The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen.

1.What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?

A. Himba people are cleverer than others.

B. Himba people aren't used to the life in city.

C. Himba people focus better in the desert

D. Himba people give up traditional farming.

2.What happened in the past one hundred years?

A. Many people returned to the countryside.

B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.

C. Many people couldn't concentrate on one task.

D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.

3.The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "______".

A. villages　　 B. cities

C. towns　　 D. countries

4.What is the main purpose of the text ?

A. to remind people to focus better.

B. to advise people to live in countryside.

C. to share a recent study with readers.

D. to show the bright future to readers.
