It is organized by Seattle based non-profit Code. org every year. It was created to inspire students of all backgrounds and ages to love computer science, and then consider a career in software engineering.During the Hour, which can be set aside any time of the week, participants can try programming using one or more of the free tutorials(教程) offered on the Code. org' s website.The sessions that are organized by age and experience level and available in 45 languages, begin with a brief introduction to computer science.

Bu+ she was usually up for fun, and sometimes went out of her way to create it.As fall turned into winter, money remained tight, for- which my parents were arguing more than ever. Gifts were not really in the budget that year, and Mom's spirits grew as gray as the skies. On lop of all this stress and sadness, we discovered that most of' our Christmas tree ornaments(装饰) had broken during the move from New Jersey.My mother, ever resourceful, took an unexpected action. "1WTe lost our Christmas ornaments," she declared, "and we don't have enough money, so we' re going to make ourown with the tin can lids. " Then she'd spent the past week removing and saving the lids after meals, and that day she eagerly waited for us kids to arrive before cutting them into stars,bells, angels, and trees. My brothers and I got to choose our shapes and decorate them as we laughed, sang carols(圣诞颂歌) , told tales about our new teachers and classmates, and took pleasure in Mom' s renewed cheer. That December afternoon at the picnic table was more memorable than most Christmas mornings full of shiny- paper and expensive gifts.To this day, my brothers and I speak fondly of our "tin can Christmas" as we point out the few surviving ornaments on our parents' tree. Primitive(粗糙的) , yet crafted with love and hope, they are more precious than most of the store-bought new ones. The magic of thatparticular Christmas came directly through my mother, who could turn tin cans into angels, and darkness into light.29. What made the author's parents argue more than ever as winter was near?A. Part-time jobs.B. No gifts for kids.C. Financial hardship.D. Broken Christmas tree.30.

What can we learn about the author' s mother from the last paragraph?A. She was very good at doing business.B. She had a positive attitude towards life.C. She was inconsiderate to the author' s father.D. She made money by selling handicrafts.DFrom losing weight to quitting smoking, each December people around the world make a New Year' s resolution(决心) . But studies have shown that despite their best effort, most will fail.Professor Peter Herman, a psychology lecturer at the University of Toronto says that the reasons why resolutions fail are clear. "They are riot realistic in some or all of the following respects: people think that they can change themselves more quickly; they think that they can change much more than anyone else; or they think they can change everything more easily. "Professor Herman suggests that the issue may be a cycle of failure and renewed effort.which he calls " the false-hope syndrome" (虚妄期盼综合征). The cycle begins with a difficult self-change task. such as overeating or smoking-common yet rarely successful changes. While people may make some initial progress in the task, eventually they fail to achieve their goal. Havingfailed, they interpret(解释)their failure to convince themselves that with a few adjustments they will succeed. Finally, they begin to embark on another attempt, and the cycle repeats.In his paper on the topic, Professor Herman and his co-author, Janet Polivy, write, “People tend to make the same resolutions year after year, vowing(发誓) on average l0 times to get rid of a particular vice (恶习). "Obviously. every renewed vow represents a certain failure; otherwise. there would be no need for yet another attempt, Equally obviously, unsuccessful attempts do not decrease the. chance of making future palls for self-change. Even those who are finally successful at sticking to their resolutions make the attempt five or six times on average before succeeding.Expecting to make a breakthrough is not a good way, so Professor Herman says that thebest way of sticking to your resolution is to expect the changes little by little rather than a major transformation. He told Mail Online," Often this means scaling back(缩减)your resolution to something that is actually manageable.”32. Why do most people fail in their New Year's resolutions according to Professor Herman?A. They doesn't do their best at all.B. They make unrealistic resolutions.C. They want to stay unchanged.D. They change them frequently.33. What does the underlined part "embark on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Undertake.B. Abandon.C. Welcome.D. Represent.34. How to achieve your New Year's resolutions in Professor Herman's opinion?A. Set a big resolution.B. Make a breakthrough.C. Expect gradual changes.D. Believe in yourself.35.What may be the best title for the text?A. Actions Speak Louder Than WordsB. Think Twice Before You DoC.A Bargain Is a BargainD.
