BSurviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few
blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean
that makes Rockaway so special, ” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East
Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn
shortly before the city’s bridges closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of
Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were
suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend
a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.
Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to
helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to
elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always
choose how I deal with it. ”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie
posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house
burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new
basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring
much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited
to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The
streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but
Rockaway, ” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before. ”

Basketball fans around the world are mourning the death of American superstar Kobe Bryant.
Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash Sunday in California, along with his 13-year-old
daughter Gianna and seven other people. He was 41 years old.
Bryant was an 18-time All-Star player. He won five NBA championships and two Olympic
gold medals. He was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation
during his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions
outside Los Angeles. Bryant lived south of Los Angeles and often used helicopters to travel around
the area to save time and avoid Southern California traffic.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. It took place about 32 kilometers from Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy, a basketball training center in Newbury Park, California. Bryant was on
his way to attend a youth basketball competition on Sunday with his daughter. Bryant and his wife,
Vanessa, had four daughters.
When he retired from the NBA in 2016, Bryant was the third-leading scorer in NBA history
with 33,643 points. He is widely expected to be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of
Fame this year.
The basketball world and the Los Angeles community reacted to Bryant’s death with an
outpouring of sadness, disbelief and support.
In a statement, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Bryant was one of the greatest stars in the
game. But he added, He will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a
basketball and compete to the very best of their ability.
On Twitter, U.S. President Donald Trump noted the terrible news. He called Bryant one of the
truly great basketball players of all time who was just getting started in life.
28. Where is the passage probably taken from?
A. A science report. B. A biography.
C. A textbook. D. A newspaper.
29. What Kobe Bryant impressed people in the world most was .

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more
humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like
companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is
happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You
can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot
doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each
individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take
medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in
everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot”
robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide
them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make
recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other
social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have
technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
32. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and perform operations.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
33. What can Oshbot work as?
A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide.
C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse.
34. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A. train employees B. be our workmates
C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers35. What does the passage mainly present?
A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots.
C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! 36
According to specialists, our bodies send out more messages than we realize. In fact,
non-verbal(非言语) communication takes up about 50% of what we really mean. 37 Indeed, what
is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed.
And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 38 Northern Europeans usually do not like
having bodily contact(接触) even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin
American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in
conversation, it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian all over the room. 39 The
Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep backing away —which the Latino will
in return regard as coldness.
40 And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different
cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation, the best advice
is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.
A. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer.
B. It speaks louder than words.
C. Your body Language will give others a general impression of you.
D. And body language is particularly important when we attempt to communicate across
cultures.
E. In many American cultures, it is inappropriate for men and women to touch in public.
F. Clearly, a great deal is going on when people talk.
G. For example, different societies treat the distance between people differently.

A Famous Chinese I Would Like to Interview
The person I would like to interview is Yang Liwei.
I would really like to interview him because he is not only the first
Chinese to go to space but also one of the greatest astronauts in the world. I
have long been interested in space exploration and I believe I could learn a
great deal from him about it.
If I could interview him, I would ask him what made him an astronaut
and how he was trained. I would also like to know how he felt in space and
whether space travel is such great fun as I have read. Finally, I would like
to ask a few questions about his personal life , which must be very
interesting.
