Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a __15__ children’s book. Either the author has aimed too __16__, so that children can’t follow what is in his story, __17__ the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are __18__too difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the children who hears the story and the adult who __19__ it. Unluckily, there are in fact few books like this, __20__ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as __21__ of children’s literature were in fact written for grow-ups. “Alice in Wonderland” is the most obvious (明显) of this.
Children, left for themselves, often __22__ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections (排斥) of teachers and righting-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop __23__ to brainwash(洗脑)children into accepting our taste in literature. __24__, children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.

(an extract from Probuditi!)
Calvin waited outside Trudy’s bedroom. Then it happened—a scream, a very loud scream. Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.
He heard Mama coming down the hall.
“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider(蜘蛛).
“Do what?” he asked.
“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.
“Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).
“You do want your present, don’t you?” That wiped the smile off Calvin’s face.
“Course I do,” he said.
“Then you apologize (道歉).”
Calvin dropped his head. “Sorry Trudy,” he muttered (嘟囔).
“Here,” Mama said. “Happy birthday.” At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist. “You’ve got two tickets there,” Mama said, “and I know someone who’d really love to go along.” She smiled at Trudy.
15
“You don’t mean here, do you?” Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.
“Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody—” Calvin didn’t wait for his mother to finish. He rushed out of the house to tell Rodney, his friend next door, that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent.
28. Who screamed at the beginning?
A. Calvin. B. Calvin’s sister. C. Calvin’s friend. D. Calvin’s mother.
29. Calvin’s mother really wanted Calvin to ________.
A. ask his friend to the show B. do what she thought was right
C. watch the show without his sister D. find out what his friend thought
30. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Trudy’s Spider B. Mother’s Tickets
C. Calvin’s Birthday D. Rodney’s Present

Wherever I look outside my home, I see people busy on their high-tech devices (设备), while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted”was the word used by people to describe their relationship to Ipad, smart phones and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time getting away the attraction of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and wine.
The main purpose of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. A number of people willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to catch up with people around them or to appear modern.
15
I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的)relationship with time-wasting technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude (奴役). It means a loss of personal freedom and independence(独立) because of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the important question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up mistakes about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain(重获) control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for praising the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an excellent coach at Google said that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection, people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.
31. We can learn from this passage that people ______________________________.
A. consider too much technology wonderful
B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D. may enjoy life better without overused technology
32. From the passage, technology companies________________________________.
A. improve people’s quality of life B.provide the latest information
C. attract people to buy their products D.deal with cultural diseases
33. What’s the writer’s opinion on the overusing of high-tech devices?
A. He thinks the overusing of high-tech devices makes people’s life wonderful.
B. Using high-tech devices when it is necessary rather than overusing it is a right choice.
C. He is unsure if it is right to overuse high-tech devices.
D. It makes no difference to people to overuse high-tech devices.
D

Listen carefully to what I say.” the time traveler said. “I shall tell you something that you will not agree.”
“Why will we not agree?” I asked.
“Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct,” he said, “You believe there are only three dimensions(三维空间)---length, breadth(宽)and thickness.”
“There is nothing to agree with that,” the youngest member of our little group said.
“Exactly!” the time traveler answered. “But there is also a fourth dimension---time.”
“We all know about time,” another member of the group said,” Time passes.”
“I do not agree,” the time traveler said. “Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in length, breadth and thickness.”
None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.
“If we could travel back in time,” the scientist said, “we could do things to change the future.”
“If we could travel forward in time,”the doctor(博士)said, “We could do things that change our present.”
The time traveler smiled. “It is clear,” he said, “that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here.”
He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.
“This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it.” The time traveler said, “I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately (立即) travel in time and disappear from present.”
He turned to the youngest of us. “Give me your hand.” he said.
The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.
I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.
“Are you asking us to believe,” he said, “that the machine is now in the different time?”
“Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?”
“Are you serious about this?” the doctor asked.
15
“I have never been more serious about anything,” the time traveler said, “Come.”
We followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.
34. How many dimensions did the time traveler say there are?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
35. Which is the right order of what happened in the story?
a. The model time machine disappeared with a wind.
b. The time traveler came back to the room with a model time machine.
c. The members of the group argued with the time traveler for many hours.
d. The time traveler showed them a full-size time machine which was not quite complete.
e. The youngest man’s hand was placed on the model time machine.
A. e c a d b B. b c e a d C. c e b a d D. c b e a d
36. What can we infer (推断) from the passage about the time traveler?
A. He believed that they could move in time.
B. He was playing a trick on a group of people.
C. He sent the young man to the future in the model time machine.
D. He would possibly send himself on a journey through time.
37. What kind of story do you think the passage is?
A. A detective story. B. A science fiction.
C. A romantic fiction. D. A horror story.

We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how would you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.
1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow. When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.
2. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in

5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.
These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a regular (常规) way in your life. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to see a doctor.
