A minute after 5 P. m. on a Friday evening, Officer Bobby White of the Gainesville, Florida, police department got a call about a noise complaint--------some teens playing basketball． His dash－cam（执法记录仪）video shows him pulling up outside a shabby home. A teen stops playing and walks toward him
“Hey，cops（警察） are here．What’s up?” the boy was aggressive. To put him at ease, White said, “Can you believe someone’s calling about kids playing basketball? "Then he put his hand out for the ball. With hesitation, the teen gave it to him. White made a shot off the hoop(篮圈).As a playground courtesy(礼貌) the teen threw it back to White, who nailed his next shot. It was like a signal -------kids began streaming out to join in the shooting game. The video shows White and the kids laughing and shooting for 13 minutes. As he left, he told them to have fun and watch the noise. That was that, he thought -------an officer doing his job.
But that wasn't the end. The police department 's information officer always looking for the positive things his officers do, put the video online. Within a week, it was viewed over five million times. Suddenly, businesses and individuals touched by the officer’s sympathy started sending sporting equipment to the police department.
“1 know what they mean,” White says．“ But there’re many cops who go above and beyond.” To prove his point, White created the Basketball Cop Foundation. Since 2016, the foundation has supplied sports equipment to more than 50 police departments around the country so that other officers have what they need to go out on the streets and re-create White 's experience.

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.

After shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday”, or online on “Cyber Monday”, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”. Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.
As the name indicates, “Giving Tuesday” is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $1.08 million was spent on gifts.
While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.
But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate “Giving Tuesday” as well!
1.What’s the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday”?

On the day after Thanskgiving in the US, or Black Friday, lots of stores offer special discounts to mark the beginning of holiday shopping season. In China, a similar day falls on Nov. 11 when millions of Chinese shoppers go to Tmall.com and Taobao.com, two e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba.
The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, is also known in China as Singles Day. The shopping festival first started in 2009 and Alibaba said it chose the date because it was easy to remember. Last year, Tmall and Taobao together produced 19.1 billion in sales on that day, according to Alibaba. This year’s shopping festival kicked off with an even stronger start—sales hit 100 million yuan 55 seconds after midnight and reached 35 billion at the end of the day.
The shopping spree(狂欢) drew the attention of China’s leaders, as Premier Li Keqiang recently praised Alibaba’s founder, Jack Ma, for creating a day for consumption. China is trying to lead the country’s
economy to a slower, more sustainable（可持续的）growth model based on domestic (国内的) consumption instead of investment and exports. Online shopping is no doubt a growth point that will release spending potential. China had 564 million regular Internet users by the end of last year. It has surpassed the US to become the world’s largest e-commerce market, with its online sales over 1 trillion US dollars (6 trillion yuan) by 2020.“The real-time nature of online consumption attracts millions of people to spend money and enjoy life. E-commerce opens a new channel for China to encourage domestic demand,” Liu Yin, vice-president of the China International Electronic Commerce Center said. More importantly, it promotes employment and the logistics (物流) industry with its sales model of “online purchasing plus express delivery”, he added. Convenience, choice and low prices have increased online shopping, but there are still some problems with the one-day shopping spree.
Some online shops, driven by the huge profits, took this opportunity to play price tricks. They raised prices to twice those of the originals in the early October and then offered discounts on Nov 11. Many consumers, driven by the advantage they could take, just went along for the ride. “They spend lots of time online to check what to buy and are happy to get what they don’t really need at a lower price,” wrote Jia Ge, an Internet analyst, on his Sina weibo.
1.In the US, a holiday shopping season refers to _________.
A. a spree in a holiday like Thanksgiving
B. one of the four seasons in a year like spring
C. a shopping spree when stores offer special discounts
D. a holiday when people can relax themselves by shopping
2. In this year’s 11.11 Shopping Festival, Tmall and Taobao produced ______in all.
A. 19.1 billion yuan B. 100 million yuan
C. 35.1 billion yuan D. 35 billion yuan
3. What Liu Yin said is mainly about _______.
A. the advantages of e-commerce
B. the advantages of express delivery
C. the development of online shopping
D. the development of logistic industry
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. most online shops played price tricks on consumers to make huge profits
B. driven by the huge profits, many consumers bought what they didn’t really need
C. some prices of the goods were raised at first and sold at the original price on Nov. 11
D. many consumers were cheated by the online shops and bought unnecessary goods
