SALT LAKE CITY 一 The Utah Jazz basketball team signed a 5-year-old. Free-agent player to a
one-day contract for a special performance in October. The Utah Jazz has just made his dream come true ・
The boy has suffered from blood cancer since 2012.
JP Gibson, who was diagnosed with severe blood cancer, signed his contract with Jazz President Randy
Rigby before joining the team for the pre-season training play at Utah Jazz's sport center. JP was joined by
his parents. Josh and Megan, and his 2-year-old sister, Elsie.
The activity was hosted by the Jazz and photographer Jon Diaz，s "Anything Can Be” project, which
provides support and hope to families like the Gibsons. Jon Diaz asks children with cancer what their dreams
and wishes are, and he writes their stories in a book ・
JP, wearing a No. 1 shirt, even got to play in the play. He passed the ball, and Rudy obert, a player of
Utah Jazz, lifted him up so he could dunk（扌 U 篮）and shake hands with some players as fans were cheerful.
“JP loves most sports, but basketball is absolutely his favorite, " Megan Gibson said in a statement
released by the Jazz. "When he was just over one year old, he would sit with my husband, Josh, watching
games. He started insisting on shooting hoops（投篮）for an hour each night before bedtime when he was just
15 months old. He knows he has to be 6 before he can play Junior Jazz, and he reminds us all the time that he
can，t wait until he's 6"

You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your
car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes. But now a high-tech car
sticker that^s designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.
The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman, to allow
motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately. Frankfurt-based IT consultant,
Daniel Kalliontzis, came up with the idea and is raising money to put his €54( £43) sticker into production.
Car owners can put the sticker inside their car's windscreen, having set it up with key information, such
as their phone number. The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that, when touched by a traffic
policeman, will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine. The driver could then type a reply for
the policeman using a smartphone, which will appear on the sticker's screen.
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way, a German law.
The law states： an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove
the vehicle ・ It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car.
Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar
way. A spokesman said, Tn England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket.
However, a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesift think the situation is that bad
or he just wants to issue a warning."
So far, M 匚 Kalliontzis has raised just over €3, 000( £2, 362)ofhis €50, 000( £39, 381) goal. If he
manages to raise the money, the stickers will be shipped in June 2015. But it appears that car owners using
the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages> because anyone could touch the smart
sticker ・
24. The author wrote the third paragraph to_________________.
A. explain how a smart car sticker works B. advise drivers to buy a car sticker
C. show the importance of a sensor D. tell drivers how to park a car
25 • We may infer from the text that in Britain_______________ .
A. car owners don^t have to worry about a parking ticket
B. smart car stickers wouldn't work as well as in Germany
C. traffic policemen prefer to call a driver rather than tow his car
D. the Department of Transport thinks highly of smart car stickers
26.The underlined word "discretion55 in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by"___________ 1
A. trouble B. pressure C ・ freedom D. opportunity
27 - What would be the best title for the text?
A. Daniel Kalliontzis — a great inventor B. Environment-friendly car stickers
C. Parking systems in Europe D. End of the parking ticket?
B
China is going green. In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, automobile manufacturers have
announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles （混合燃料汽车）for the Chinese market. Toyota's hybrid
car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week ・ Lets have a look at the new car.
Any vehicle is a hybrid when it com bines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a
rechargeable battery and gasoline ・ Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional
gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising（匀速彳亍§史）・A specially
designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed ・
Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a
traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant （休 H 提）.The electric motor will provide
power until the car reaches about 24 km/h ・ If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric
car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
The onboard （车载"勺） computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine，when to go
electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal
（门）,you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries ・ When driving at high speed, the
gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the
electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a
consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles ・
28. The author writes this passage mainly to________・
A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
B. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
C. introduce a new kind of ngreenn car
D ・ announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
29. The first sentence probably refers to________ ・
A. there will be more and more green land in China
B. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models
D. China is still young and lacking experience
30. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
A. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones ・
B • They are much quieter than traditional cars.
C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills ・
D. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline ・
31 • What can we conclude from the story?
A. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.
B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work ・
C ・ The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
D ・ The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
I often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this： There are some qualities always
unhappy people have ・ Here are some of them ・
Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times. They take responsibility for
how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible. Unhappy
people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the Took what happened to me^ attitude instead of
finding a way through and out to the other side.
Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them.
Generally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster（培养）a sense of community
around themselves and meet new people with all open heart. Unhappy people are distrustful of most people
they meet and don5t think strangers can be trusted. Unfortunately, this behavior slowly closes all chances of
meeting new friends.
Unhappy people believe someone else5s good fortune steals from their own. They believe （here's not
enough goodness to go around and always compare others' against theirs. This leads to jealousy（嫉 妒）.
Happy people know that others9 good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if
they try hard enough. They believe in unlimited possibilities and don't get stuck in thinking one personas
good fortune limits their possible outcome in life.
There9s only so much space between the two ears. Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry
and fear- Happy people experience fear and worry too, but make an important difference between feeling it
and living with it. When fear or worry crosses a happy personas mind, theyHl ask themselves 讦 there's an
action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it. If not, they realize they9re
spinning in fear and they lay it down.
32. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to_______________ ・
A. focus on what they really want B• get worried about what will happen
C. stay focused on the past misfortunes D ・ find a way to live through hard times
33. According to paragraph 3 and 4, unhappy people_______________
A. like making some new friends
C. are more likely to be cheated by strangers
34. What is implied about happy people?
A. They don$t think life is hard ・
B ・ hate seeing others with good fortune
D. believe they can get good luck by working hard
B • They hardly ever fear anything.

Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances- There^s a common thought that gap
years are only for rich students, but it isn't true. _39 . Gap year students often take a part-time job.
