There was a young man named Bill in England. Before leaving school, he began to look for a job. Few companies needed new clerks due to the financial crisis (金融危机) at that time. It became harder and harder to find a job. Luckily, a chance came up to him. A company wanted to employ one person. He and the other twenty people joined in the first interview. After that, three persons were allowed to enter the final test which would decide one person to be employed in the end. Bill was lucky to be among them. On the day of the second interview, Bill and the others arrived at the company on time. To their surprise, the interview was very easy. The interviewer only had a free talk with them, and then asked them to go back home waiting for the result. The next morning, Bill received a letter from the company which said he wasn’t accepted. Certainly, he felt disappointed. On the evening of that day, Bill surprisingly received another letter, which said he was employed. But why was he accepted? As a matter of fact, the first letter sent to Bill was also part of the test. Every one of them got a letter which had the same meaning that morning. Only Bill replied with “ thank you “ while the others said nothing. Life isn’t all fun. There is always something making us unhappy.

If you do so, you’ll have more chances than others. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）误(F)。 1.Bill was a student during the financial crisis. 2.Twenty people wanted to get the job. 3.Bill felt amazed when he received the second letter. 4.All the three people were employed by the company. 5.From the passage, we know that to the generous and the polite can help you get more chances.

It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I sat on the beach in Washington, D.C’s Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people. A boy sat nearly. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless. “He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself. Just at that moment, a well- dressed young couple walked towards him. “Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I thought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” He handed the boy a meal box. The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags(衣衫褴褛) – in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall. Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood up and helped the old man to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered the old man’s shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He placed the still—warm meal box in the old man’s hands without waiting for an answer. “Sure, son, but if only you share that sandwich with me. It’s too much for a man at my age.” We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and Dad went up to those in rags, “Excuse me…” I rushed into a KFC and took out my pocket money. It was so cold that afternoon but I felt much warmer than I had ever though possible. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1.When did the story happen? A. After Christmas afternoon. B. On Christmas afternoon. C. On Christmas Day D. On Christmas Eve afternoon. 2.Who gave the boy a meal box? A. The young man. B. The old man C. The young woman. D. Mum and Dad. 3.Why don’t the boy have the meal? A. He was not hungry. B. He wanted to help the old man. C. He didn’t like the food. D. He saw a sandwich in the meal box. 4.What did the writer most probably do at the end of the story? A. He bought some food for the homeless. B. He told his story to people in the KFC. C. He gave his pocket money to the homeless. D. He asked the other passengers to help the homeless. 5.What’s the best title for the passage? A. A Poor Boy. B. A Worn Jacket. C. A Big Pizza. D. A Warm Meal Box

Smartphone, poor sight Look around and you will see people busy on their smatrphones (智能手机). Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes? According to a study, half of the British people own smartphones and they spend an average ( 平均 ) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the U.K who suffer from short-sightedness （近视） since smartphones were introduced there in 1997. Staring （盯）at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink （自动眨眼） a certain number of times. However, when you look at the things closer to your face, the blink slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphone in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils （瞳孔） become larger, too much light goes into your eyes. This can be bad for your eyes and causes a disease called glaucoma （青光眼）. Maybe it is possible for you to stop using your smartphone, but there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. * Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. *Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least 5 meters away from you and then focus on your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1.This passage is mainly about ___________________. A. the history of smartphones. B. the advantages of smartphones C. the disadvantages of smartphones D. the reasons why children get short-sightedness and how to use smartphones correctly. 2.From paragraph 2, we learn that ___________ A. half of the Brritish people began to use smarrtphone 17 years ago. B. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones C. more British people have suffered from short- sightedness since 1997 D. the number of the British people who have smartphones increase to 35% 3.According to Paragraph 3, using smartphones may cause __________. A. too many blinks B. more tears in the eyes C. smaller pupils D. dry eyes and glaucoma 4.Which of the following is suggested by the writer? A. Don’t use the phone for more than an hour without a rest B. Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes. C. Turn off your smartphone at least 2 hours every day D. Look at something green for a few minutes. 5.The passage advises people ___________. A. not to buy smartphones B. to stop using smartphones C. to make good use of smartphones D. to use smartphones in right ways
