Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live your life.” I reflected on what Jerry said. Later, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was stopped at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe(保险箱), he forgot the password, nervous. The robbers shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found rather quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry left hospital with fragments（碎片）of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you frightened? Did you lose consciousness(知觉)?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really frightened. I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and shouted, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them. ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

1.The author left Jerry’s restaurant industry because he________.

A. wanted to start business on his own

B. was afraid of another robbery later

D. didn’t get along well with others

2.Why was Jerry shot? ________.

In June 2014. Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three—year-old Victoria Wilcher，who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later，KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.

Brooke Binkowski，an editor，says that，during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this，but a lot of them are. ”

Asked what the driving factor was，a journalist said，“You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone's door. You just sit at your desk and do it. ”

Another journalist says，“There is definitely pressure to churn out(粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks，because they equal money. At my former employer in particular，the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”

In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism，Craig Silverman wrote，“Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours，a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached，repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor（传闻）becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. ”

And，despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more，not less important，according to the New York Times’public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It's extremely important to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication. ”Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because. in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click，regardless of the advantage of a story”. And，“if the story does turn out to be false, it's simply a chance for another bite at the cherry. ”

Verification and fact—checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers，and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.

1.According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _______.

A. clicks matter a lot　　 B. resources are limited

C. budgets are inadequate　　 D. journalists lack experience

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Lies can't sell without an atom of truth.

B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.

C. You can hear rumors, but you can't know them.

D. A lie, repeated often enough，will end up as truth.

3.What's Margaret Sullivan's attitude towards false news online?

A. Negative.　　 B. Supportive.

C. Sceptical.　　 D. Neutral.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Consequences of false stories.　　 B. Causes of online false news.

C. Incompetence of journalists.　　 D. A craze to get clicks.

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”

He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”

“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.

“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.

But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market.”

The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.

The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.

“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don't have any straw.”

“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don't have any sand.”

“I bought this,” said the youngest son.

“A candle！” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”

“Watch”, said the youngest son.

He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!

“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.

And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.

1. Who would get father's fortune?

A. The oldest son.                B. The richest son.

C. The cleverest son.             D. The silliest son.

2. The merchant left his fortune to the son

A. who would fill the room by using something which is worthy of one coin

B. who would take care of him when he became old

C. who wanted to get his fortune

D. who got married first

3. How do you think of the youngest son?

A. He is very clever.               B. He is very lazy.

C. He is very mean.                 D. He is very diligent.

4.  The youngest son used _____ to fill the room.
