A

The website https://www.360docs.net/doc/3314807570.html, connects people to helpful recourses. Here’s the webpage on “The best places to…”

Keep a wireless router(路由器)

On a bookshelf

Situate it on a desk or a tall shelf in a central

location in your house. A router works best

when put high, since it sends signals(信号) in

all directions. The worst place to have a

router: in the kitchen. Metal things can also

weaken or stop its signals.

Solve a problem

In the shower

Simple tasks, like lathering up(抹肥皂), may

allow the mind to run free and have creative

thinking. In a science study, those who

completed a simple task between solving

creative problems performed better on the

problems than those who completed difficult

tasks or no task at all.

Hide valuable items

In the kid’s room

Find a place in a young child’s room, where

you can put away valuable items. Put

emergency cash(应急现金) in an envelope

inside a toy which is no longer played with,

like a teddy bear on a high shelf.

Add a houseplant

To the bathroom

Plants are important in your living space, but

you probably haven’t thought to put one next

to, say, your shower. They can make indoor air

clea n, and they’re helpful for small spaces like

bathrooms. Ferns(蕨类) are a good and cheap

choice in a bathroom.

A. in the kitchen

B

Last summer, after 16 years in America, I travelled to Moscow where I grew up. I was the

first in my family to return. Mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the location of my

grandfather’s grave(坟墓). She asked me to visit it. I promised her it would be the first thing I’d do.

But it wasn’t until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit.

By the entrance to the cemetery(公墓), a lady was selling flowers. She had only seven left. I bought them all, but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found.

I could call my mom. It was already morning in New York.

But the problem was that I had already told her I’d gone to the cemetery. What wa s I going to say? That I decided to go again but lost the map?

Then I found the office. An old woman searched the records and found two Abraham

Pikarskis with no further details.

I set off to look for them, hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone.

I found the two graves. Both said Abraham Pikarski, no pictures, nothing else.

Which grave was mine?

I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one. I also put three flowers there.

I stood there with the last flower. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I just

discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number? Finally, I put the flower on the

grave. If this is really my grandfather’s, he got the most. If not, let this be a respect to the stranger.

I flew home to New York the next day. When Mom saw me, she started crying.

“Mom, it’s only been a week...”

She said, “Son, thank you for visiting Grandfather’s grave. It really means so much to me.

When you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just comforting me. But this

morning, my cousin called from Moscow, saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa’s grave.” Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?

34. Why didn’t the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather’s grave?

A. Because it was midnight in New York.

B. Because he found the hand-drawn map.

C. Because he didn’t want Mom to know he broke his promise.

D. Because his mom di dn’t know where Grandfather’s grave was.

35. The writer’s mother cried because ________.

A. she missed her father so much

B. she hadn’t seen her son for a week

C. the writer visited his grandfather’s grave for her

D. the writer put four flowers on his gra ndfather’s grave

36. In which situation does the writer have no difficulty making a decision?

A. How to deal with the last flower.

B. Whether to visit his grandfather’s grave.

C. Whether to phone Mom for the grave’s location.

D. Whether to ask Mom how many flowers her cousin saw.

37. This passage shows the writer’s character mostly through the use of ________. A. description of his thoughts and actions B. his long dialogues with other people

C. description of his looks and personality

C

William Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616. This year’s

400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of

the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing

influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times,

said, “he is not of an age, but for all time.”

People like Shakespeare’s plays because the characters show real

human feelings. Romeo and Juliet, who are young lovers, they don’t quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they really speak to almost any time and place.

The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an

English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say “to be or not to be: that is the question” (Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he’s “eating me out of house and home” (Henry IV).

But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture. “Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant (英勇的) never taste of death but once.”This saying

from Shakespeare’s historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner. Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere, from Goethe (a German writer) to

Tchaikovsky.

As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, “all the world’s a stage.” More
