Although Ripton Rosen was a white boy living in a luxurious penthouse, he liked to play baseball with his

black teammates of the same street. Ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. As time

went on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. In time, the group developed into five regulars: Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Robinson and Carlos Suarez.

“In the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place,"says Michael, Ripton’s father. Things

then began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn't have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,”Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television ever day.

Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr Jenkins, the family dog.

The boys’ own families were puzzled by what was happening. “My mom didn’t believe me when I told her about the penthouse,”says Kindu.“She thought I was involved with something bad.”Juan Carlos’ mother, Esther Ruiz,wondered,"Why would the Rosens be doing this?"But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was getting responsible. The Rosens are the best".

5. The Rosens bought Carlos some clothes so that .

A. he would study harder

B. he would feel comfortable

C. he could go to school

D. he could serve the family

8. The passage is constructed to confirm the fact that .

In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the sa me night in Peshtigo, Wisc onsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.

But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.

American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.

Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.

In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.

The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.

9. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.

A. they took no interest in new technology

B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires

C. they showed indifference to fighting fires

D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment

10. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children

B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessons

C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States

D. America's large population leads to more fires

11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.

B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.

C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.

D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.

D

There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on.

Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.

Dangerously wrong.

A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein

Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.

Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the

driver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people one Uber driver desc ribed as “generally negative”, watch out.

Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyo ne weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.

These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.

Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!

We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.

Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. It is a welcome competitor here because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.

Everyone, behave.

12. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who ______.

A. they can take advantage of

B. they don’t have to be nice to

C. are required to be on their best behavior

D. need better treatment from customers

13. Negative driver-generated ratings mean that ______.

A. customers have to wait for a longer time when using Uber cars

B. drivers are too slow to pick up customers

C. Uber drivers can refuse to work for certain customers

D. customers have done damage to Uber cars

14. The example of eBay in the article is probably meant to show that ______.

A. in the Internet age, buyers have always had the advantage of ratings

B. the power of ratings should be given to both sides of a service

C. the main reason why eBay has become a successful auction site

D. controversy between customers and sellers has only come about recently

15. The author has written this article to ______.

A. show that when using services like Uber, your behavior directly affects the service you get

B. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your life

C. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you are

D. stress that both customers and service providers should be generally respectful and positive

Our Fears Can Change the Reality of the Situation

At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of

what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on

things during the anxious moments.

16

A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their minds off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give him/her a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse.

17 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties.

Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious,break the task into small ones. 18

Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything.

Most of what you worry about never comes true. 19 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.

It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to

calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slowly. All you can do is do your best each

day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. 20

A. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.

B. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.

C. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.

D. Instead of worrying about something that probably won't happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.

E. The next time you feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.

F. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic

thinking.

G. Completing these small tasks one at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.

This is the hourly news at 10 pm. An angry viewer is accusing Japan’s 1 ( nation ) broadcaster for mental suffering caused by too much use of words 2 ( borrow ) frorn English.

According to Mr. Takahashi, die basis of his concern is that Japan is being too Americanized. English 3

(become) popular in Japan after World War II when almost all US 4 ( company ) in Japan hired English speakers.

The situation was followed by a growing interest in American pop culture. Th e country’s modem vocabulary is full 5 borrowed words, many of which are changed in pronunciation to fit the Japanese speaking habits.

Mr. Takahashi accused NHK of irresponsibility by 6 ( refuse) to use certain native Japanese words instead of certain English words in the program. He believed that with Japanese society 7 ( increase ) Americanized, NHK, as Japan's national broadcaster, shouldn't go with the trend, 8 should remain determined to stick with the rise of Japanese, 9 he thinks would go a long way toward protecting Japanese culture.

However,many people think Mr. Takahashi’s concern is unreasonable as use of English d oesn’t mean the loss of domestic culture, but on 10 other hand helps Japan to get informed of the advanced technology and international affairs, which will eventually give Japan more advantages in the world community.

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practice listening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we can overcome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.
