Jackie Cheung, via WeChat
“I was having a really bad day and saw a large group of kids surrounding another group. Expecting the worst, I went over, only to discover they were all trying to rearrange a vase of flowers they got me.”
Jennifer Graham, via Facebook
“One student I worked particularly closely with wrote a goodbye card to me that said, ‘You make me proud of myself.’I still take it out and read it when I'm feeling down.”
Kyle Curry, via LinkedIn
“The best gift I ever received was a letter from my worst behaved student in my mailbox on the first day of the new school year explaining how thankful he was for having me as his French teacher which said, ‘We may have had our ups and downs, but you never gave up on me.’”
Eli Sullivan, via Facebook
“I taught in Japan as a teaching assistant and the job was really interesting but the hours were long, so I drank Coke to keep me going. My students found it fascinating that I regularly had a can of cola on my desk, so for my going away present they bought a giant three liter container of Coke and wrote lovely messages with their names in Japanese and English on the label.”
1.What surprised Jackie Cheung
A.The really bad day. B.A group of students.
C.The flowers for him. D.A traffic accident.
2.Why did the student write to Kyle
A.Because the student wanted to send Kyle a gift.
B.Because it was the first day of the new school year.
C.Because the student was asking him a question.
D.Because the student tried to express thanks.
3.Who might have taught in Japan
A.Jackie Cheung. B.Jennifer Graham.
C.Kyle Curry. D.Eli Sullivan.
4.What can we infer about the teachers mentioned in the text

Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years, my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.
Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So, I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
5.Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations
A.She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe.
B.She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.
C.She enjoyed her parents' reactions.

A.To hold onto the first coin in life.
B.To make as many friends as possible.
C.To make money with their own hands.
D.To spend more time with family and friends.
8.What could be the best title for this passage
A.The Key to Success
B.Blueberry Jam Recipe
C.A Fortune Built from a Coin
D.A Relationship of Trust
C
As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
9.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard
A.To reduce pressure on keys.
B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system.
D.To cut the cost of e space protection.
10.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible
A.Computers are much easier to operate.
B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
11.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard
A.It'll be environment friendly.
B.It'll reach consumers soon.
C.It'll be made of plastics.
D.It'll help speed up typing.
12.Where is this text most likely from
A.A diary. B.A guidebook.
C.A novel. D.A magazine.
Ⅱ.七选五
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. __1__ People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily using 3D printers.
__2__ Some scientists are trying to revolutionise the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. __3__ Using 3D printers to create your meals would also save the environment because there would be less need for traditional growing and transporting processes.
__4__ It could take away many jobs, including those for growing and transporting food. Imagine a world where there is no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes and textures (质地) can be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Additionally, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food. __5__
What's more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
A.But can you imagine printing food
B.Not all 3D printers use the same technology.
C.3D printing technology will change the way we live in the future.
D.This means it would be very quick and easy to create tasty meals.
E.Is it really possible to get the nutrition we need from food based inks
F.We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and car models.
G.However, some people think that a future of 3D printed food would be a disaster.
