A
We live in central Phoenix,near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.
I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn’t have been a problem;we have our own“mini farm”of animals! But he would say“OK!”and then blow the idea off because of our business.
Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with takeout food for dinner, As l was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up. (穿着暖和的衣服)Even the doggy had a coat on! Not even thinking about it,I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little buddy, I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.He said,“Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel.”And there were tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.
When my husband dug into the KFC bag he asked,“Were you hungry, or what?”I told him what I did and he said,“Only you!”Then he told me I had done a good thing.
A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me,with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn’t have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me.“Only you! In this city,you are the only person I can believe in!”
Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace. I will recall the old man’s words and wish him good luck.

I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them—to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came FaceBook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and self-effacing(谦逊的). Read his FaceBook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable,food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it.
Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook. He’s doing well—level 731. Thanks to FaceBook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz.She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find,so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.
In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to FaceBook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the antivaccine mad woman on FaceBook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?
5. Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?
A. Fred. B. Andy. C. Liz. D. Chris.
6. What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?
A. He’s running his company. B. He’s playing golf all day.
C. He’s looking for another job. D. He’s playing computer games.
7. What does “it” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
A. a dilemma B. my real friend C. FaceBook D. Twitter
8. The text is developed mainly by_________.
A. giving examples B. following the time order
C. listing figures D. raising questions
C

Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges,setbacks(挫折)and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams. hopes and desires--that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱)that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—in real us. It’s the part that believes life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you’re dropping “you”.
So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind—or the minds of those close to us usually says we can’t ,That isn’t a reason to stop,it’s just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before.It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.
12.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should
A.slow down and live a simple life
B.be careful when we choose to change
C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be content with what we already have
13.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A.To focus on every detail. B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us. D.To think twice before we act.
14.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A.Escape from your punishment. B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension. D.Reduction of your expectations.
15.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.It’s easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C.It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.

Mobile Phones:Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using mobile phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to have one. 16 They found that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they’re cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity (负面报道) of such ideas. 17
On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. 18 This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,every day of his working week, for a couple of years.
19 The answer is radiation. High tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. 20 Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they’re bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

B.In many countries, mobile phones are very popular with young people.

D.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?
