That competition keeps prices down is well known. But it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes. Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari, Andrea Ichino, Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas, economists at the European University Institute, Bologna University and the Italian central bank. They looked at pharmacies(药房) and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off: new parents.Using data for 2007 to 2010 covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy, the researchers measured the way in which prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied. They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s, according to which regions with at most 7,500 people are allowed just one pharmacy (supposedly to keep the quality of services high). They compared prices in places with populations just below this threshold, and just above.The products studied included some 3,000 varieties of shampoos, bath foams, baby wipes, creams and so on. Many are also used by adults on themselves. Some people, for example, prefer sun-cream labeled “for children” because of its high level of protecti on. When raising prices for these products, even a pharmacist with a monopoly(垄断) must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children. But a rise in the number of babies, and hence buyers who are parents, could tip the scales towards price increases. By contrast, the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users, such as nappies.The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents----but only in regions with a single pharmacy, and not for nappies. In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next (not unusual in a small population) coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of baby-hygiene products. The study is timely. Italy’s government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector (though not yet the one that the researchers relied on). But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business, and not just in Italy. The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around----for example, people with crying babies on their hands.（1）What’s the purpose of the study?A To review the function of the special law for pharmacies.B To make clear the relation between competition and prices.C To collect the information on pharmacy business in Italy.D To gather the data on hygiene products for babies in Italy.（2）“tip the scales” in Paragraph 3 means “_____”.A Push the moveB Keep the levelC Control the riseD Break the balance（3）The government’s new measures will greatly benefit _____.A pharmacy ownersB local merchantsC new parentsD adult users19. As for child vaccinations （接种）, parents usually get paperwork lost, or forget whether their child is up lo dale． Now a group of MIT researchers has developed a new way to address this problem: inserting the record directly into the skin． Along with thevaccine, a child would be injected with a bit of dye that is invisible to the naked eye but easily seen with an app that shines special light onto the skin． The dye would be expected to last up to five years．The system would provide quick and easy access to vaccination history, and add little to the cost or risk of the procedure． "In developing countries where medical records may not be as complete or as accessible, there can be value in having medical information directly associated with a person, " says Ana Jaklenec, lead author of the study．Delivering the dye required the researchers to find something that was sale and would last long enough to be useful． "That's really the biggest challenge we overcame in the project, " says Jaklenec, adding that the team tested a number of dyes but could not find any that lasted when exposed to sunlight． The team ended up using a technology called quantum dots, which were originally developed to label cells during research． The dye has been shown to be safe in humans．"When people were still getting vaccinated against smallpox, they got a visible scar on their arm that made it easy to identify who had been vaccinated and who had not but obviously, we didn't want to give people a scar, " Jaklenec says, noting that her team was looking for something that couldn't be seen． The researchers also wanted to avoid technologies that would raise even more privacy concerns such as databases with names and identifiable data．The researchers hope to add more detailed information to the dots, such as the date of vaccination． Along with them, the team eventually wants to inject sensors that could also potentially be used to track aspects of health such as insulin（胰岛素） levels in diabetics （糖尿病人）．（1）What can we learn from the first 2 paragraphs？________A A new system has been developed to track the history of vaccination．B The cost of updating vaccination history is high．C The dye injected into children can be seen with naked eyes easily．D Carrying around ones medical record is convenient．．（2）What was the biggest challenge for the researchers？________A Labeling cells．B Delivering a number of dyes．C Finding the safe and long﹣lasting media．D Inventing a technology called quantum dots．．（3）It can be learned from the text that the researchers________．A are trying to find a vaccination against diabetics．B have injected sensors to track aspects of health．C are sure to leave no scars on those who arevaccinated． D hope to add more detailed information to the dots while maintaining privacy．．（4）How does the author feel about the project？________A Disappointed．B Enthusiastic．C Indifferent．D Uncertain．20. “With depressingly few exceptions, performances are dull and lack vitality…After years of trying to convince myself otherwise, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.”-----Jennifer Homans, Apollo’s AngelsIs ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homans’s conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollo’s Angels, is worrying.It appears that ballet’s pulse continues to beat strongl y, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point?“Ballet is dead”----“Ballet is dying” ---all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey. ①To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharp’s In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipa’s cho reography(编舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate(操纵) the rules. ② .The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with TheTe legraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homans’s book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming closer together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now. ③ .Homans writes that ballet’s decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transition----from neo-classical to contemporary ballet----has occurred. ④Our art form’s evolution has alwa ys been with extinction. Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, rose again from its ashes”. History shows there were periods where ballet hibern ated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art form’s changing forums. So here is the irony: what sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipa’s classics. A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(《胡桃夹子》), half the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles---Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo----were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballet’s framework supports the modern process of bench-marking.Perhaps Jennifer Homans’s thoughts are not completely unfo unded. Perhaps ballet is dying for some. Ballet’s evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Ballet’s programming in Brisbane this year----of Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale, and Wayne MacGregor’s Woolf Works----over the next 20 years, ballet’s reliance on Petipa will decrease. Contemporary ballets and merge-styled ballets will produce their box-office influence ever more.Why?It is simple: our audiences will be ready for ballet to change again.（1）Why does the writer cite Jennifer Homans’s words at the beginning of the passage?A To support the writer’s viewpoint.B To introduce the topic of the passage.C To highlight the theme of the passageD To provide the background knowledge.（2）The sentence ‘Is this not ballet?” should be put in ______.A ①B ②C ③D ④（3）Which of the following statements is a fact about ballet?A “Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey.” (Para.3)B “The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague.” (Para.5)C “Our art form’s evolution has always been with extinction.” (Para.7)D “What sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipa’s classics.” (Para.8).（4）According to Matthew Bourne, _____.A the dance forms remain unchangedB contemporary dance has reinvented classic balletC ballet is experiencing growth and will continue to developD a new form of ballet is widely accepted among Australians（5）The writer takes himself as an example in Paragraph 8 in order to show _____.A classics should be promotedB classics are still of great significanceC classical ballet’s framework is out of dateD contemporary ballets attract more audiences（6）What may be the audiences’ attitude to the change of ballet?A Supportive.B Arbitrary.C Critical.D Concerned四、任务型阅读21. Friends in your life are like pillars on your porch．Sometimes they hold you up and sometimes they lean on you．Sometimes it's just enough to know they're standing by．Friendship doubles your joy and divides your grief．A friendship is priceless and should be cultivated．●Remembering the golden ruleWithout a doubt，the greatest human relations principle is to treat other people like you want to be treated．When you show respect for your friends and gratitude for their friendship，you'll be blessed in untold ways．You can't know what has gone on in the rude person's life that day，but you can assume that his or her day hasn't gone well．Maybe a loved one lost his job，her boss reprimanded her unjustly，he's coming down with the flu，or she just found out that her teenager is taking drugs．Whatever the cause of the rudeness，you don't have to accentuate（突出） the problem．A kind word or a gentle，understanding smile may help the person more than returned rudeness would．●Considering foes as friendsA friend looks after your own good．On the other hand，a foe is someone who isn't interested in your well﹣being．Yet some students view their teachers as enemies．However，a student's success in school partly depends on the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom．Instead of being an enemy，a teacher who corrects you and helps you to achieve can be the best friend you ever had．This kind of thinking，along with a little attitude adjustment，helps you to convert foes to friends，and both of you are better off．●Making friends by being an optimistDo you enjoy being around a pessimist，someone who is generally described as being able to brighten up a room just by leaving it？The answer is obvious．Most people prefer to be around people who believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today，rather than people who believe that today is even worse than yesterday．●Capturing the pleasing personalityHow do you develop a pleasing personality？Here are some steps you can take：Smile when you see someone．You don't have to give a wide grin﹣just a pleasant，friendly smile．Speak in a pleasant，upbeat tone of voice．Talk to people as if they are good friends，even if they don't really fall into that category yet．Take a course in public speaking．The ability to express yourself attracts favorable attention from many sources．Develop a sense of humor．Pick up a couple of joke books．This makes you a little more outgoing and friendly．●Don't criticize unjustlyInstead of being eager to dish out criticism all the time，take the humane and sensible approach．Look for the good in others．Encourage them．Build them up．Most people seldom think through each situation completely and consider the other person's point of view．If you take the time and effort to do this，you'll end up befriending more people．Title：Five ways to cultivate friendship五、读写任务22. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

reasons，from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes．Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari，Andrea Ichino，Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas，economists at the European University Institute，Bologna University and the Italian central bank．They looked at pharmacies（药房）and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off：new parents．Using data for 2007 to 2010 covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy，the researchers measured the way in which prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied．They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s，according to which regions with at most 7，500 people are allowed just one pharmacy （supposedly to keep the quality of services high）．They compared prices in places with populations just below this threshold，and just above．The products studied included some 3，000 varieties of shampoos，bath foams，baby wipes，creams and so on．Many are also used by adults on themselves．Some people，for example，prefer sun﹣cream labeled "for children" because of its high level of protection．When raising prices for these products，even a pharmacist with a monopoly（垄断）must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children．But a rise in the number of babies，and hence buyers who are parents，could tip thescales towards price increases．By contrast，the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users，such as nappies．The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents﹣﹣﹣﹣but only in regions with a single pharmacy，and not for nappies．In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next （not unusual in a small population）coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of baby﹣hygiene products．The study is timely．Italy's government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector （though not yet the one that the researchers relied on）．But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business，and not just in Italy．The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around﹣﹣﹣﹣for example，people with crying babies on their hands．（1）What's the purpose of the studyA．To review the function of the special law for pharmacies．B．To make clear the relation between competition and prices．C．To collect the information on pharmacy business in Italy．D．To gather the data on hygiene products for babies in Italy．（2）"tip the scales" in Paragraph 3 means ""．A．Push the moveB．Keep the levelC．Control the riseD．Break the balance（3）The government's new measures will greatly benefit．A．pharmacy ownersB．local merchantsC．new parentsD．adult users29．（8分）Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home，especially if it has wooden floors，and you can probably work out who it is that is walking about．The features most commonly used to identify people are faces，voices，finger prints and retinal scans．But their"behavioural biometrics"，such as the way they walk，are also giveaways．Researchers have，for several years，used video cameras and computers to analyse people's gaits，and are now quite good at it．But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky﹣﹣﹣﹣especially if that system is supposed to be hidden．Cameras are often visible，are hard to set up，require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people．So a team led by Krikor Ozanyan of the University of Manchester，in England and Patricia Scully of the National University of Ireland，in Galway have been looking for a better way to recognize gait．Their answer：pressure﹣sensitive mats．In themselves，such mats are nothing new．They have been part of security systems for donkeys' years．But Dr．Ozanyan And Dr．Scully use a complex version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it．These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker．Dr．Ozanyan and Dr．Scully therefore turned，as is now common for anything to do with pattern recognition，to an Artificial Intelligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns．It seems to work．In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trodden by 127 different people．They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere %．And Dr．Scully says that even without a database of footsteps to work with the system can determine someone's sex﹣﹣﹣women and men，with wide and narrow pelvises（骨盆）respectively，walk in different ways，﹣﹣﹣﹣and guess，with reasonable accuracy，a subject's age．A mat﹣based gait﹣recognition system has the advantage that it would work in any lighting conditions﹣﹣﹣﹣even pitch﹣darkness．And though it might fail to identify someone if，say，she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers，it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place．The latest phase of Dr．Ozanyan's and Dr．Scully's project is a redesign of the mat．The old mats contained individual pressure sensors．The new ones contain optical fibres（光纤）．Light﹣emitting diodes（二极管）distributed along two neighbouring edges of a mat transmit light into the fibres．Sensors on the opposite edges（and thus the opposite ends of the optical fibres）measure how much of that light is received．Any pressure applied to part of themat causes a distortion（变形）in the fibres and a consequent change in the amount of light transmitted．Both the location and amount of change can be plotted and analyzed by the machine﹣learning system．Dr．Ozanyan says that the team have built a demonstration fibre﹣optic mat，two meters long and a metre wide，using materials that cost ￡100（＄130）．They are now talking to companies about commercializing it．One application might be in health care，particularly for the elderly．A fibre﹣optic mat installed in a nursing home or an old person's own residence could monitor changes in an individual's gait that warn certain illnesses．That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over，say，or of their cognition becoming damaged．Gait analysis might also be used ass a security measure in the workplace，monitoring access to restricted areas，such as parts of military bases，server farms or laboratories dealing with harmful materials．In these cases，employees would need to agree to their gaits being scanned，just as they would agree to the scanning of their faces or retinas for optical security systems．Perhaps the most fascinating use of gait﹣recognition mats，though，would be in public places，such as airports．For that to work，the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database，which would be harder to arrange than the collection of mugshots and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on．Some people，however，might volunteer for it．Many aircrew or pre﹣registered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel．（1）Camera﹣based gait recognition fails to come into wide use，because．a．it's not easy to find the camerasb．finger print recognition is still popularc．sometimes the cameras can be coveredd．it's a waste of money to fix the equipmente．good lighting conditions can't be guaranteedf．it's difficult to set up the system．A．acfB．bdeC．cdfD．cef（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 6﹣8A．The new mats function greatly with individual pressure sensors built in．B．The new mats will be likely to work better with enough pressure．C．The elderly are cured of their diseases with the monitor of the fibre﹣optic．D．Restricted areas are accessible to those with their gaits scanned beforehand．（3）What does "it" refer to in Paragraph 5A．The mat﹣based gait﹣recognition systemB．The gait stored in the databaseC．The advantage of working in any light condition．D．The admission to a particular place．（4）What's the best title of the passageA．Listen to your footstepsB．Applaud pattern recognitionC．Love the way you walkD．Better the mats you step on30．（12分）"With depressingly few exceptions，performances are dull and lack vitality…After years of trying to convince myself otherwise，I now feel sure that ballet is dying．"﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣Jennifer Homans，Apollo's Angels Is ballet dead Has the art form evolved to depression Jennifer Homans's conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet，Apollo's Angels，is worrying．It appears that ballet's pulse continues to beat strongly，however，especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached．So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying And do they have a point"Ballet is dead"﹣﹣﹣﹣"Ballet is dying" ﹣﹣﹣all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical claim："God is dead．" Headline grabbling，certainly．Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms Surely it is more abstract，filled with shades of popular grey．①．To start with，how do you define ballet What is ballet today Consider popular modernclassics like Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room，where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers，combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together．Or closer to home，there is Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake，which layers elements of Petipa's choreography（编舞）with a contemporary theme and aesthetic．Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles，then manipulate（操纵）the rules．②．The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague．In an interview with The Telegraph （2015），British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this "cross﹣fertilisation" between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow，as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet．Referring to Homans's book，Bourne believes what has changed is that "the dance forms are coming closer together"．Not dying，but merging．Reinventing．This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now．③．Homans writes that ballet's decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine．Something ahs changed，certainly．A stylisic transition﹣﹣﹣﹣from neo﹣classical to contemporary ballet﹣﹣﹣﹣has occurred．④．Our art form's evolution has always been with extinction．Prominent dance critic with The New York Times，Alastair Macaulay，says："ballet has died again and again over the centuries，" and yet，"phoenix﹣like，rose again from its ashes"．History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity．This coincided with the art form's changing forums．So here is the irony：what sells best，still，are reproductions of Petipa's classics．A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk．And without Nutcracker（《桃夹子》），half the ballet companies in North America would not exist．Admittedly，as a dancer，my favourite roles﹣﹣﹣Albrecht，Prince Siegfried and Romeo﹣﹣﹣﹣were from the classical canon；I am a traditionalist at heart （who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets）．A part of the charm behind classical repertoire，for me，was in reproducing the glories of past greats．Classical ballet's framework supports the modern process of bench﹣marking．Perhaps Jennifer Homans's thoughts are not completely unfounded．Perhaps ballet is dying for some．Ballet's evolution has been delayed by its audiences．And as Homans suggests in her epilogue，perhaps also by its creatives．Now here is a bold prediction．In line with the Royal Ballet's

adult life﹣﹣﹣﹣a job，a marriage，a move﹣﹣﹣﹣has likely shoved a friendship to the side．After all，there is no contract locking us to the other person，as in marriage，and there are no blood bonds，as in family．We choose our friends，and our friends choose us．That's a really distinctive attribute of friendships．But modern life can become so busy that people forget to keep choosing each other．That's when friendships fade，and there's reason to believe it's happening more than ever．Loneliness is on the rise，and feeling lonely has been found to increase a person's risk of dying early by 26%﹣﹣﹣﹣and to be even worse for the body than obesity and air pollution．Loneliness damages health in many ways，particularly because it removes the safety net of social support．"When we perceive our world as threatening，that can be associated with an increase in heart rate and blood pressure．"The solution is simple：friendship．It helps protect the brain and body from stress，anxiety and depression．"Being around trusted others，in essence，signals safety and security，" says Holt﹣Lunstad．A study last year found that friendships are especially beneficial later in life．Having supportive friends in old age is a stronger predictor of well﹣being than family ties﹣﹣﹣﹣suggesting that the friends you pick may be at least as important as the family you're born into．Easy as the fix may sound，it can be difficult to keep and make friends as an adult．But research suggests that you only need between four and five close pals．If you've ever had a good one，you know hat you're looking for．"The expectations of friends，once you have a mature understanding of friendship，don't really change across the life course，" Rawlins says．"People want their close friends to be someone they can talk to and someone they can depend upon．"If you're trying to fill a dried﹣up friendship pool，start by looking inward．Think back to how you met some of your very favorite friends．V olunteering on a political campaign or in a favorite spin class Playing in a band "Friendships are always about something，" says Rawlins．Common passions help people bond at a personal level，and they bridge people of different ages and life experiences．Whatever you're into，someone else is too．Let your passion guide you toward people．Volunteer，for example，take a new course or join a committee at your community centers．If you like yoga，start going to classes regularly．Fellow dog lovers tend to gather at dog runs．Using apps and social media﹣﹣﹣﹣like Facebook to find a local book club﹣﹣﹣﹣is also a good way to find easy﹣going folks．Once you meet a potential future friend，then comes the scary part：inviting them to do something．"You do have to put yourself out there，" says Janice McCabe，associate professor of sociology at Dartmouth College and a friendship researcher．"There's a chance that the person will say no．But there's also the chance they'll say yes，and something really great could happen．"The process takes time，and you may experience false starts．Not everyone will want to put in the effort necessary to be a good friend．It's never too late to start being a better pal．The work you put into friendships﹣﹣﹣﹣both new and old ﹣﹣﹣will be well worth it for your health and happiness．Outline Supporting detailsProblems●Making friends （1）people of negative feelings，especially benefiting the

The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and step that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost imme diately but still managed to win the second place. I’ve loved racing ever since.I turned pro at 15, which isn’t possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it af ter high school. I’m the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.BMX isn’t judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it’s an extreme sport. It’s like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed—I go 40 mph by the time. I’m two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40-foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活) training, both on and off the bike. I also domental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I’m focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me;I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can’t capitalize on an error and pass me!I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. I’m continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, I’ll keep coming back.4．What do we know about the author?A．She withdrew from her first BMX race.B．She became the youngest BMX rider in America.C．Her parents forced her to turn BMX professional.D．Her efforts resulted in BMX entering the Olympics.5．To win the BMX race,the author has to________.A．jump highest B．focus on other competitorsC．play tricks D．keep balanced all the way6．The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph4probably means_________.

She longs for this special night.And she's amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before? Amazement? Well, if you have, it helps you have a sense of agreement. When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better. Our brain tells us,"Oh, this girl's experience is a bit like mine."And boom! We can relate to her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page to find a scary monster. They are just pictures,but the feelings are real. This skill, to understand thethinking and feeling of others, is what researchers call "theory of mind".For example, think about the faces of people and animals in stories. The Big Bad Wolf's scary teeth. The 'o' shape of a surprised character's mouth. Or big, wide eyes like the girl in Owl Moon. By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.But most young readers don't go into deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the book Yo!Yes?two kids meet and play ball. The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball, but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.8．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Owl Moon talks about the exploration of the Moon.B．The feeling of"amazement"is a sense of agreement.C．Readers are blessed with the ability to interpret others.D．Readers with similar experience understand the story better.9．Which of the following might help readers develop"theory of mind"?A．True feelings. B．Smiling faces.C．Picture books. D．Reading skills.10．Young readers can go deeper into a story by________.A．tracking the plot B．developing new skillsC．sharing similar hobbies D．analyzing the background11．What is the text mainly about?A．How thinking influences reading. B．How readers improve reading skills. C．How emotions help enhance reading. D．How kids figure out the clues of stories.On a break from his studies in the MIT Media Lab,Anirudh Sharma traveled home to Mumbai, India. While there, he noticed that throughout the day his T-shirts were gradually gathering something that looked like dirt."I realized this was air pollution，or sooty（像煤一样）particulate matter (PM)，made of black particles released from exhaust（尾气）of vehicles，" Sharma says. "This is a major health issue."Soot consists of tiny black particles, about 2.5 micrometers or smaller, made carbon produced by incomplete burning of fossil fuels.Back at MIT,Sharma set out to help solve this air-pollution issue. After years of research and development, Sharma’s startup Graviky Labs has developed technology that attaches to exhaust systems of diesel generators（柴油发电机）to collect particulate matter.Scientists at Graviky then turn it into ink, called Air-Ink, for artists around the world. So far, the startup has collected I.6 billion micrograms of particulate matter.More than 200 gallons of Air-Ink have been harvested for a growing community of more than 1,000 artists, from Bangalore to Boston, Shanghai,and London.Posted all over Graviky Lab's Facebook page today are photos of art made from theAir-Ink and pant, including street wall paintings, body art and clothing prints.At first, there was still no specific application for the ink. Then the startup decided to find new ways to further spread its mission.It chose to do so through art."Art helps us raise awareness about where the ink and paint comes from. Air pollution knows no borders. Our ink sends a message that pollution is one of the resources in our world that's the hardest to collect and use.But it can be done,"Sharma says.12．What struck Sharma most during his break in India?A．Dirt on his T-shirts. B．Health issue of the locals.C．Coal industry in Mumbai. D．Incomplete burning of fossil fuels. 13．According to the text, Air-Ink is________.A．a cleaner of outdoor air B．a product made from PMC．a newly-founded company D．a printing technology14．What can we infer about Air-Ink from the text?A．It improves artistic effect. B．It makes pollution acceptable.C．It helps Sharma make a profit. D．It raises environmental awareness. 15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Arts know no borders B．Waste has no priceC．Less pollution, more art D．Creative thinking, effective painting二、七选五Rules for Being the Age You AreIf you have recently entered that period of life known as middle age, the building years of your life are over, and what you are now is pretty much what you are going to be. Soon it will be what you were. You can no longer tell yourself that you might move to Lisbon learnPortuguese, and take up the guitar.16．Do not just give people credits.17．Here’s a funny thing I’ve learned: No matter how many times you hear them, the words “You are amazing” never go out of style.Give yourself permission to be bad. You know what you’re really good at? Things you’ve done many times before. Mastery is boredom. Unfortunately we enjoy feeling like masters. 18．We keep ourselves bored to protect ourselves from feeling stupid.19．Nine t imes out of ten, you’ll be bored and go home early. But the tenth time, you will have a worthy experience to meet an interesting person. It will make up for those other wasted hours.Do that ting you want to do right now.I mean literally pause reading this column, pick up the phone, and book that skydiving session. RIGHT Now.
