As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in. This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a set of blue spiked(竖起的)hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔)was pierced, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in hisear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager. I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.I was wrong.My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His gracious response was a polite “Thank you very much”.On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother talked about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was suitable, I wanted to be ready.As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teenager, was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time in opening the door.”I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercings and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door.In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.1. What did the author think of the young man?A. Polite.B. Uncommon.C. Frightening.D. Funny.2. Caitlynd helped the young man because .A. she was scaredB. she didn’t notice his lookC. she wanted to avoid himD. it would be difficult for him to open the door3. The underlined sentence suggests that .A. the author was ashamed of herselfB. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedomC. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughterD. people should have more freedom to express themselves4. The author intends to tell us that .A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his lookB. we should allow people more freedom to dress differentlyC. we should be more helpful and tolerant to strange dressing of the youngD. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life(B)Last week Amazon announced Word Runner, a new tool for reading Kindle books. Word Runner is a software update that shows one word at a time, instead of words, sentences and paragraphs on one page.Opinions about Word Runner are mixed. Carmen Blyth, ph.D., and a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL), says Word Runner is not optimal reading.In the Kindle Forums at Amazon, a commenter called CB Retriever says, “Thanks, but that absol utely will not work for me as I too do lines and blocks of text at a time – I think the last time I read word by word was back when I was learning to read.”Len Edgerly, business journalist and host of The Kindle Chronicles podcast, had a chance to try out Word Runner. In his podcast, Edgerly said that Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read.”Dynamic PacingWord Runner uses a feature called “Dynamic Pacing” to adjust the speed around complicated words. Dynamic Pacing automatically slows the speed of Word Runner for complicated words, punctuation, and paragraph breaks. It makes changes based on the natural rhythm of your reading.BrakeYou can pause Word Runner by tapping the pause button, called Brake:Brake lets you move words forward and backward. You can go back and re-read words using Brake.AvailabilityAccording to Amazon, Word Runner will be available soon for some English-language books on the Kindle app for Android devices and on Fire tablets.Word Runner will work with select English language Kindle books from Amazon sites in all countries, says an Amazon representative.Amazon has not yet said whether Word Runner will be coming to the Kindle app for iPhone and iPad.1.

Word Runner will soon be available for iPhone and iPadB. Word Runner will work with all English-language books in all countriesC. Word Runner is a software which updates one word at a timeD. People will soon be able to use Word Runner to read some English-language books on Andriod devices and Fire tablets3. “Dynamic Pacing” is designed to .A. regulate the speed of readingB. quicken the speed of reading something easyC. let you move words forward and backwardD. allow you to see all of the words on a page on your screen(C)In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it doesn’t actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinerywhich must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.1. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?A. To make jobs more varied.B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.C. Degree of work contribution.D. Demands for longer working hours.2. Why do workers want more money?A. Because their jobs are too boring.B. In order to enjoy more spare time.C. To make their job more interesting.D. To demand shorter working hours.3. The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers’ jobs more interesting, .A. they will want more moneyB. they will demand shorter working hoursC. more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them4. In this passage, the author tells us .A. how to make the workers more productiveB. possible factors leading to greater efficiencyC. to a certain extent more money lead to greater productivityD. how to make workers jobs more interestingA. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.E. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.（1） many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. （2）__________Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. （3）__________complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. （4） be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.1. She was busy (write) out sums upon the blackboard.2. (tell) the story, the old man got more and more excited.3. You should go to your teacher (ask) about it.4. The dictionary (belong) to Jack is missing.5.
