Removing the sleeve (封套)，you will find a book that is entirely white，except for the names of its author and subject in elegant black type on the cover. It is the perfect design for the biography of a man who insisted that even the insides of his products be perfectly constructed，and that his factory walls flash in the whitest white.
The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control，writes Isaacson in his introduction.Though Mr Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way，generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews，this book offers quite a different view of Mr Jobs，who won much praise from his fans after his death on October 5th at the age of 56.
As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin，Mr Isaacson knows how to celebrate longdead genius，but he claimed that Steve Jobs would not be entirely praiseful words.The picture he paints，particularly in the first half of this book，is not nice. Mr Jobs emerges as a controlling and often coldblooded character.A child of the 1960s counterculture (反主流文化)，he hated materialism and lived in simply furnished houses (in part because he was too particular about furniture)．But when Apple went public in 1980，he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke，a longtime supporter and soul mate from college.“He has to abandon the people he is close to”，observes Andy Hertzfeld，an early Apple engineer.
Mr Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned.But also he could be cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employee’s work，he often shamed him.“This is who I am，” he once said after being challenged，“and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.” This disgusting personality wasn’t always helpful，but it served a purpose，writes Mr Isaacson，many would “end their chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible”．
Mr Isaacson treats Steve Jobs as the biography of record，which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject’s death.
1.The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design because________.
A．it follows Jobs’ style
B．its cover is entirely white
C．black and white are his favorite
D．it is designed by a famous biographer
2.The picture of Jobs that Isaacson paints in his book is________.
①cruel ②humorous ③particular ④generous
3.It can be safely concluded that________.
A．Jobs is highly spoken of in the book
B．Isaacson doesn’t think Jobs a good man
C．Jobs didn’t care about the design of the book
D．all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book
4.This passage can be classified as________.
A．a personal diary B．a book review
C．a news report D．a TV interview

The Spring Festival is supposed to be a period of time entirely for family reunion. However, as people’s enthusiasm for digital hongbao increased, the amount of the time they spend with family members during the holiday decreases. There has been widespread criticism(批评) over digital hongbao that it has alienated family reunion.
“I used to discuss programs in the Spring Festival Gala(春晚) with my family members, but this year, I hardly had the time to watch the gala because I was staring at my cellphone all the time,” said Kang, a 30–year old radio station editor. “I went to Karaoke with my cousins during the holiday, and I was grasping digital hongbao the whole time, even when I was singing Karaoke.”
“On the last day of the holiday, I started to regret spending too much time on these digital hongbao. Therefore, instead of fighting for hongbao, I watched TV with my mom that night. I left home feeling sorry! I should have spent more time with my parents.”
But Kang said regret came with a sense of achievement when he managed to bring classmates together.
“Next year, I will still play the game, but with less money and for a smaller amount of time,” Kang said.
Dong Chenyu, a teacher from Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it unfair to blame hongbao for destroying family reunion.
“When television was invented, people accused it of standing in the way of face-to-face human communication. The same accusation came up on telephone and text message services when they were first invented. The same goes with digital hongbao,” Dong said.
“It does nothing but offers a new way of human communication. The rest is people’s choice. As long as no one expects to earn money from this and takes this as a means of gambling(赌博), it’s a good way to improve human connections,” Dong said.
1.The underlined word “alienated” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A. separated B. reserved C. encouraged D. improved
2.How did Mr.Kang feel about digital hongbao according to Paragraph 2?
A. He felt regretted in spending too much money.
B. He had a strong preference for it.
C. He was happy to spend too much of his time.
D. He felt a sense of guilty in getting it.
3.What can we infer from what Mr. Dong said about digital hongbao ________.
A. it will bring us trouble in holiday reunion
B. it will be out of fashion soon in future
C. Mr. Dong is in favor of the digital hongbao
D. lots of people will use it to earn money
4.What’s mainly described in the passage?
A. The Spring Festival is the best time for family reunion.
B. Digital Hongbao is a double-edged sword.
C. People’s holiday enthusiasm has decreased.
D. Digital hongbao has become a popular way to make money.

While an entire month free of homework or tests may sound too good to be true, that is exactly what the students at Sturenskolan School in Boden, Sweden were treated to in April. What’s more, if the results of the experiment prove encouraging, starting 2019, the middle schoolers will never have to worry about after－school work or tests, aside from the national examinations, which are compulsive for students across the country.
The school’s principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea, said, “We are constantly receiving new reports that our children feel bad. And that’s because they have a high level of stress all the time. This is our way of trying to reduce that stress.”
The educator says that while banning homework and tests sounds radical(激进的), it makes sense given the changes in the curriculum and approaches to education. While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves.
Sirkka is not the only one who believes after－school work does not help students learn. In March 2018, another principal in Canada also decided to do away with homework. They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids.
While the long－term impact of the recent decisions made by the two educators remains to be seen, the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years. Yet, Finnish students always rank high in the PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment) tests especially in math and science but they have the least homework! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before US educators follow their lead and ban after－school work as well!
1.The students at Sturenskolan School had no homework in April because ________.
A.the headmaster was experimenting with her idea
B.they needed to do some experiments during the month
C.they were busy preparing for the national examinations
D.the headmaster had to carry out the government’s policy
2.What makes children’s learning hard nowadays?
A.Children have to do more analyzing.
B.The approach to education is complex.
C.Children get no support at home and school.
D.There are more facts to memorize.
3.What does Petronella Sirkka most likely advise parents to do?
A.Help children with their homework.
B.Free children from after－school housework.
C.Spend more time reading to their children.
D.Communicate with teachers from time to time.
4.What can we infer about the students in Finland?
A.They study the hardest at school.
B.They have a more relaxing school life.
C.They enjoy great success after graduation.
D.They all have a talent for math and science.

For many people shopping is considered to be one of the favorite activities. For most of them it is just buying some new clothes or presents for close people. But there is another way for whom shopping is much more than just enjoyable activity, it is a real addiction that in many cases leads to a financial disaster, as well as it brings troubles to person’s life and family.
So why can shopping be so addictive? What are the possible signs to be aware of? And how is it possible to stop the need of spending?
“Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic preference to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is caused, but no one really knows why.” However, it is much better understood as to why “shopaholics” continue with their unhealthy and destructive behaviors. Individuals get pleasure from their addiction the same way as if they were under drugs.
And when is it really possible to determine whether simple shopping has crossed the border and has already turned into addiction?
Shopaholics go out and buy things much more often than other people do. They often buy things they do not need. Many shopping addicts go on shopping binges(放纵) all year long and may be forced to buy certain items, such as shoes, clothing or kitchen items. Some just will buy anything. Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income. While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing, shop addicts will not recognize the boundaries of a budget.
1.We can learn from the 3rd paragraph that .
A. shopping addiction is mainly caused by genetic factors
B. shopping addicts are also addicted to drugs
C. the real cause of shopping addiction is known already
D. shopaholics can’t control their unhealthy and destructive behaviors
2.The last paragraph is mainly about .
A. the destructive behaviors of shopaholics
B. the early signs of shopping addiction
C. the problems of shopaholics
D. the binge of shopaholics
3.What could be most probably discussed in the paragraph to follow the passage?
A. How to treat shopping addiction.
B. What really causes shopping addiction.
C. When shopping addiction takes place.
D. What kind of people can become shopping addicts.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. shopping addiction can’t cause serious problems
B. shopping addicts only want enjoyable activities through buying
C. it’s not a good idea to let a shopping addict pay by credit cards
D. shopping addiction can spread among different people

4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight
As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. 1.
1. Healthy Eating is the First Step
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you’ll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. 2. Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Follow a training schedule
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. 3. So it’s much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly.
3. Run regularly
If you don’t want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won’t lose weight by running once a week. It’s best to get some activity every day. 4. If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired.
4. 5.
Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You’ll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.
A. Keep it challenging
B. Eat for Performance
C. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every day and each run builds on the next.
D. So you’ll need to combine running with a healthy diet.
E. If you’re hoping to use running to lose weight, here’s some advice on how to be successful.
F. Here are ways to improve your running motivation.
G. But if that’s not possible, try to shoot for at least 3-4 times per week.
