A
One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father’s layoffs (失业), I could tell my mother was unhappy. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.
“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.
She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.
“How much money do you have?” she asked.
“Twelve dollars,” I said.
“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.
“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.”

Did you know that, in 2016, over 18 million people attended classical concerts in Germany? That’s more people than those who went to main league football matches! Earlier this year, Germany continued its celebration of classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg. Germans are incredibly proud of it and it’s the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit.
Known as the ‘Elphi’ by the locals, the Elbphilharmonie is a beautiful tower of glittering glass sitting atop an old warehouse by the banks of the river Elbe. The plaza(露天广场)is open to the public an from the middle of the city’s tallest building, you can gaze across the harbour, miles of rooftops and passing ships below.
The main concert hall seats over 2000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world. Two smaller concert halls are used for jazz, world and contemporary music. In addition, if you’re unbelievably rich, you can buy one of the 45 luxurious apartments lying within the building.Construction began in 2007 with a budget of €241 million and a two-year period. Fast forward ten years, the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!
I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg, but unfortunately I haven’t yet been able to attend a concert. Everything is sold out for six months! For now, I’m content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive view over the docks and see the innovative architecture up close. Hopefully one day soon, I’ll be lucky enough to grab a last-minute concert ticket!
29．What does “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Germany. B. A new concert hall.
C. Hamburg. D. Its celebration of classical music.
30．What is Elbe?
A. A hall. B. A river. C. A tower. D. A warehouse.
31．What happened after the Elbphilharmonie opened?
A. I was invited to visit it.
B. Few concerts have been held.
C. The performance was quite popular.
D. People find it easy to get concert tickets.
32．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. The new concert hall can hold 3000 people at least.
B. The construction of the new concert hall is perfect.
C. The majority of audience are likely to pay for the luxurious apartments.
D. It took a longer time and more money to build the concert hall.
D
Recently some articles claim the word “selfie” (自拍)as one of the most annoying words. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t not so bad.
The “selfie” is used to describe the self taken photo, often from a smart phone. Women and men alike adore their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures, sometimes with puckered lips or large smiles. In fact, the selfie has become so widely known that over 31 million photos on Instagram are captioned with the selfie.
Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 seizes each time they do, and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful? In that one picture, someone has even him or herself confidence.
Self-image is important. In society today, we are so often consumed with what society tells us is perfect. But maybe, with that one selfie, we feel like we fit that bill. We feel handsome, beautiful, confident, smart, happy and content. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us is erased, because that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.
I saw a spoken word poem recently and the young man said: If I ask you what you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds, music, tattoos… Your mom, your brother, your sister, your daughter, your best friend, your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said “I love myself”？
That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However, the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Pamela Rutledge agrees, stating, “There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”
33．In the opinion of the writer, selfie ________.
A. is an annoying phenomenon online
B. makes a person become self-centered
C. is just a fashion among teenagers
D. gives a person a sense of confidence
34．The writer mentioned a poem to stress ________.
A. the power of real love
B. the need to love ourselves
C. the kinds of love we have
D. the endless love we get
35．What Pamela said suggested that ________.
A. selfie gets models to take more photos
B. selfie helps more people look like models
C. selfie provides more photos of real people
D. selfie causes models to be out of work

Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？ 36 Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)． 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
40
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A. Play games.
B. Ask for more advice.
C. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
D. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.
E. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.
F. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

M：I’m worried about my grade in your English class. I really want an“A"，but…
W：I see. Well，it might be hard for you to get an“A”．So far you have a“B”average. You would need a 97 or 98 in your final exam to get an“A”．Do you think you can get that high a score?

M：That would be great. I’ll try my best. Thank you very much.

M: China’s television watchdog has cut down the amount of entertainment programs that satellite channels can broadcast. From the start of next year，each of the 34 satellite channels will be limited to two such programs each week ．It was stated on Tuesday by the State Administration of Radio，Film and Television.
A channel can broadcast a maximum of 90 minutes of entertainment every day during the prime time hours of 7:30 pm to 10 pm.
The watchdog will also control the total number of entertainment shows nationwide. During prime time every day，the 34 channels can show only nine entertainment programs in total．The statement said they wanted to increase the number of news programs, educational programs and documentaries.
Every channel has also been ordered to create a program that promotes traditional virtues and socialist core values.
Channels have been told not to value the program by audience viewing figures but by the greater emphasis on social values.
