Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn't. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First time failure, by contrast, is expected to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.
In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使……服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it's not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
1．Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail

B. following the time order
C. comparing different opinions
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
答案与解析 A 文章结构题。由全文可知，作者举了孙女、女儿及自己的例子对论述主题展开讨论，故A项正确。
4．The writer talked about his own experience to show that ________.
A. we cannot depend on luck to live a good life
B. we should try every possible way to avoid failure

I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “Need a jack (千斤顶)．”
As I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He looked at the situation, made a judgment and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.
I tried to put $20 in the man's hand, but he wouldn't take it, so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked their little girl where they lived, thinking maybe I'd send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now, so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep, the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale (玉米粽子) for lunch. I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside My $20! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He started shaking his head, smiled, and with what looked like great concentration said in English, “Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I've helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn't accept their money. Every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
5．From the passage we can know that ________.
A. the Mexican man couldn't speak English
B. the author's jeep broke down on the road
C. the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit
D. $20 was a small amount for the Mexican family
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。由第一段可知，作者的吉普车在路上抛锚了。故B项正确。
6．Why did the author hand the money quietly to the man's wife
A. Because the Mexican man had refused to accept it.
B. Because the Mexican man's wife needn't wash her hands.
C. Because the author thought the Mexican man's wife was a bit greedy.
D. Because the author thought the wife wanted to use the money to buy peaches.
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。由第三段第一句可推知A项正确。
7．The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that ________.
A. it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly
B. it was quite easy to help the author repair the jeep
C. it was possible that everyone might get into trouble
D. the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help
答案与解析 C 推理判断题。由第四段中的“Today you, tomorrow me.”推断C项正确。

It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I started by thinking of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, brief to my polite “Happy New Year”. He nodded and I sat in front of him.
Minutes passed and nothing happened. I had to put my form and brochure in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register. After a few minutes he took my form and from his locker he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking.
After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I said the words, he shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time！”
Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God knows how many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done. We do not even feel the need to thank them for being there.
On an instinct (本能) I told him, “Sir, you please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” This man, who I had been seeing for the last few years, suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact — he had never made eye contact earlier. I saw a different person there, another human being who was as hard pressed for time as I always am.
I saw both of us sailing_in_the_same_boat. I felt that he was also missing the small things in life like a hot cup of tea or lying in a warm bed for a few more minutes like me. He gave me a rare smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but somebody else will come who will be in a hurry.”
His words really touched me. All the time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, but today I suddenly felt a strange communication with him.
1．The purpose of the second paragraph is to show ________.
A. The bank person was working very carefully
B. The bank person ignored the author totally
C. The author admired the way the bank person worked
D. The author was becoming more and more impatient
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。由第二段首句及整段的描写，可知D项正确。
2．Why did the bank person suddenly look up at the author

B. He was sorry for keeping the author waiting long.
C. He was surprised at the author's attitude to him.
D. He was delighted that the author wasn't in a hurry.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由倒数第三段可知C项正确。
3．By saying “sailing in the same boat” in Para. 6, the author means ________.
A. they could have a good communication
B. they both suffered from great life pressure
C. they missed a lot of nice things in life
D. they found out the true meaning of life
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。字面意思是“在同一船上行驶”，所以选项“有一个好的交流”正确。
4．How do you think this experience would influence the author
A. He would never come to this bank again.
B. He would be friendly and thankful to people who helped him.
C. He would become the best friend with the bank person.
D. He would ask more people to understand the bank person.

It's fun to receive presents. It also feels good to give presents to others. So what's the best way to budget your money, shop wisely and spend smartly this holiday season Time for kids asked for advice from Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation, a company that teaches money management skills to kids.
“My first tip is to make a list and check it twice，” says Beacham. She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend. Start by writing down names, Beacham says. Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up. Do you have enough money If not, make changes. And don't forget — not everyone needs a store bought gift. Beacham points out that some of the best presents are free. Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of time and talent.
Do the math
Take the list with you to the store and “make sure that you do the math，” says Beacham “If you've spent $30 on someone you were going to spend $25 on, you're going to have to spend $5 less on somebody else.” The key to budgeting is staying within the boundaries you've set for yourself.
Gifts from the heart
The best gifts don't cost a thing. Here are some of Beacham's top gifts ideas.
● For parents, make coupons (礼券) that can be traded for your services, such as doing dishes.
● For grandma, write a note telling her how special she is to you.
● For a friend, create a work of art, like a poem, a drawing or a necklace.
● For teachers, bake a delicious cake.

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour dangerous chemicals and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200, the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids (液体)．
So, by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in the lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrier wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live.
By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So, it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.

A shop wholly run by a robot has been set up in downtown Tokyo, capital of Japan. The shop was set up by a Japan based company.
When a customer comes to the shop, he will be given a pencil and a piece of paper. When he is looking at the shelves for goods, he can write down the number of each thing he wants to buy. Then he may come to a machine, which looks like a bank ATM (Automatic Teller Machine), and press the buttons to tell the machine the numbers and some other information about the goods. The machine will soon give the customer a bill. When the customer puts money into the machine, change will be given back at once, and the words “Thank You for Coming” will appear on the screen of the machine. The robot will select the ordered goods for the customer according to computer center information. The robot, as round as a bucket, is able to decide the weight and size of any goods. It will always take the bigger and heavier goods first before picking up the smaller and lighter ones such as cakes or biscuits. Within half a minute, the robot will make everything ready, and wait for a customer at a certain delivery place. The shop is to meet the needs of the public for the so called “silent purchase”. It means that a customer can do shopping through mail or even an international computer network without facing the shop owner. This will reduce the cost on the part of the shop, and thus lower the price of goods for the customer. The robot now can deal with most goods in a fast and easy way. Only when dealing with those goods needing special care will the robot ask for help.

Dear Editor，
I was surprised to read your recent article on the question of students' part time jobs. You appear to be making a lot of generalizations (归纳) on the basis of just one unfortunate incident (I assure you that not all young people who deliver newspapers are as foolish and dishonest as the two youths mentioned in your article)．
The first point I would like to make is that there are many jobs teenagers can do which give them useful experience of the working world. They are brought into contact with a variety of people, often older, and are given experience of expressing themselves clearly and fluently. I am thinking here of jobs such as travel guides and shop assistants.
Another argument for schoolchildren and college students having holiday or weekend jobs is that many parents need the financial assistance. If we take, for example, a family in which the father is unemployed or perhaps a single parent family on a low income, it seems logical and fair that a son or daughter should try to bring money into the family.
One further thing I want to say is that a lot of jobs for the young can be both fun for the people who do them and useful to the community. Young people who help in schools and hospitals often get a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction as well as contributing something valuable to local society.
In conclusion, I would add that when I was a girl, my father said my teens were a time for books, hobbies and academic studies. Thinking back, I feel I would have learned much more — about myself, other people and life in general — if he had allowed me to do a limited amount of real work. Certainly, when she is old enough, I shall encourage my own daughter to do so, rather than waste her time on soap operas and computer games.
Yours faithfully，
Margaret Williams (Mrs)

A group of boys wanted to help some orphans (孤儿). They planned to collect money for them so that they could go to school.
They wanted to ask people for donations (捐款). The first man they turned to was a person sitting on a chair. They saw him through the door. He was scolding a boy for tearing a piece of unused paper into pieces. He was very angry and warned the boy not to waste paper.
They_didn't_want_to_waste_their_time_there. When they were going away, the gentleman called them in. They were in two minds whether to go in or not. Finally, they all went in. The gentleman smiled and asked them to take a seat. They didn't know how to begin. They looked at one another when the gentleman asked the purpose of their visit. The boys gathered courage and explained to him the purpose of their visit. When they told him of the need to collect money for the orphans, he asked them to wait. As they were waiting, hot snacks were served to them.
The gentleman pulled out an envelope from his pocket, gave it to them and asked them to open it and have a look. To their surprise, when they opened it, they saw a cheque for$l,000,000. He told them to make good use of it and to hand it over to the local schools.
The gentleman knew that they were not going to enter the house when they saw him scolding his boy for wasting paper. He said to them, “I am not mean, but saving what we have is a good habit. We can spend every penny we save on the most important thing this way.” That day the boys were extremely delighted. They couldn't thank him enough.

People in Toronto can now enjoy the first phase (阶段) of Underpass Park, an extremely original and creative new public park.
Underpass Park is the largest park ever to be built under an overpass (立交桥) in Canada, and the first of its kind in Toronto. Located in the West Don Lands under and around the Eastern Avenue and Richmond overpasses, the park has transformed the abandoned and underused area into a bright, new, neighborhood space.
Constructed in two phases, the first completed sections of the park are between St. Lawrence Street and Bayview Avenue. Visitors can access it from River Street, south of King Street.
Underpass Park is designed for members of all ages and abilities. The first phase of the park has playgrounds on either side of River Street. To the east, park users will find two basketball courts. West of River Street, the park offers various play equipment and climbing structures of different sizes and shapes as well as gathering spaces for public events. This phase of the park also has a public art decoration that is hung from the overpass and reflects lights. A combination of LED spotlights and interesting lighting effects around the park will ensure the area is safe and inviting at all times of day.
Underpass Park has made the best use of the unique site conditions and now it is a welcoming public space.
An official celebration to mark the opening of phase one is being planned for later this summer. The second phase, located west of St. Lawrence Street, is currently under construction and expected to open next spring.

Oyster
What is an Oyster card
Oyster is the easiest way to pay for journeys on the bus, Tube, tram, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground and National Rail journeys in London. You can store your travel cards, Bus & Tram Pass, season tickets and credit to pay for journeys as you go.
Where to get an Oyster card
There are a number of ways for you to get an Oyster card：
At over 3,900 Oyster Ticket stops
At Tube and London Overground station ticket offices
At some National Rail stations
At London Travel Information Centres
Online at tfl._gov._uk/oyster
How to use an Oyster card
To pay the correct fare on the Tube, DLR, London Overground and National Rail services, you must always touch in on the yellow Oyster card reader at the start of your journey, and touch out at the end. If you don't, a maximum cash Oyster fare will be charged. When using the bus or tram, you must only touch in at the start, but not at the end of your journey.
What happens if I don't visit London very often
Don't worry. Any pay as you go credit on your card will not expire (过期), so you can keep it for your next visit or lend it to a friend.

London's Chinese community dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limehouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limehouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London's Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled in a different area — a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take aways (外卖) started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London's Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

Years ago, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a small fishing village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service. Because the entire village lived mainly on the fishing industry, a volunteer rescue team was formed in case of emergency. One night a big storm turned over a fishing boat at sea. In great trouble, the fishermen sent out the S．O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team started and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited anxiously on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back.21cnjy.com
An hour later, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rescue boat reappeared through the fog and cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely overturned the rescue boat and all would have been lost.2-1-c-n-j-y
Worriedly, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen year old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, begging, “Please don't go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother, Jack, has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you are all that I have left.”【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Hans replied ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), “Mother, I have to go. What if everyone said, ‘I can't go, let someone else do it？’ Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.” Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the night. Another hour passed, which seemed to Hans' mother like an eternity (永恒). Finally, the rescue boat passed through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. Cupping his hands, the captain called, “Did you find the lost man？” Hardly able to contain himself, Hans excitedly shouted back, “Yes, we found him. Tell my mother it's my older brother, Jack！”
语篇解读 本文讲述了在一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个小渔村，一个有爱心且勇敢的孩子主动要求出海救人。但是他的母亲因为自己的丈夫死于海难，大儿子又在出海时失踪，生死不明，所以极力反对。尽管如此，这个男孩还是坚决地去了。没想到这个决定给他家带来了回报：得救的竟是他的哥哥。
4．What did the fishermen do when the boat was turned over
A. They jumped into the water and managed to swim back.
B. They were so courageous that they faced the storm bravely.
C. They sent out the S．O.S. for rescue.
D. They did nothing but wait for help.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n great trouble, the fishermen sent out the S．O.S.”可以看出他们发出了S.O.S.求救信号。
5．The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “assembled” in the first paragraph probably means ________.21教育网
A. gathered B. screamed
C. spread D. wept
答案与解析 A 词义猜测题。由“in the town square”看出村民们聚集在一起。
6．One passenger was left behind because ________.
A. the passenger was overweight
B. it was hard to spot him in the heavy fog
C. if the rescue boat had loaded him, all would have been lost
D. the storm was too strong for them to pull him out of water
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Even one more passenger would have surely overturned the rescue boat and all would have been lost.”可知，只要再多搭载一个人，救生船就会下沉，所有的人都会淹死，所以留下了一人。21·cn·jy·com
7．Who did Hans and his team save
A. One of his fellow villagers.
B. One of the rescue members.
C. His father.
D. His older brother.

A
Born with part of his left arm missing, Matthew Cowdrey has shown great strength and courage to succeed and reach unbelievable heights in the world of swimming.
Cowdrey started swimming at the age of five and was determined to not just be as good as any able bodied person, but to be better.
Cowdrey competed in the Paralympics (残奥会) in Athens for the first time and won three gold medals, two silver and two bronze.
He added another five golds and three silver in Beijing, breaking five world records.
After the 2012 London Games, he is the most successful Australian Paralympian, having won 13 Paralympic gold medals and 23 Paralympic medals in total.
Cowdrey's mum, Vivienne, said she was proud of her son, who had forever been an overachiever.
“I don't know how he does a lot of what he does，” she said.
“We were most disappointed when he chose swimming actually; we thought soccer or something like that would be more suitable.”
“Then he chooses something which requires two arms.”
“We always showed him how to do things and gave him ideas on how to do things. But we also let him try things for himself, because if he doesn't do that and everybody does things for him, he'll never learn.”
Cowdrey praised the upbringing (养育) his parents gave him, which taught him to be independent.
Although he achieved great success, Cowdrey said he didn't think about his achievements too much.
“I've always said that I just wanted to be remembered as someone who worked hard at what he did to reach his potential，” he said.
“A few of my goals are outside of Paralympic sport and are in able bodied swimming.”
“I'm not at the point now where I can even appreciate what I've done so far.”
“It's important to be modest, to be happy and to continue to work as hard as you can.”

A. determines to succeed
B. sets goals that are too high
C. achieves more than expected
D. achieves something without making an effort

(2014·商丘高二检测)
To raise money for his children's medical expenses, a 47 year old father took off all his clothes and became a nude model at an art studio in Zhengzhou, China Daily reported on April 18, 2013.
Zhao Changle, a farmer who had never heard of nude modeling before, seized the opportunity when he saw a notice asking for a part time model. He received 100 yuan for one hour's work. “I don't know what art is. But I would take any chance to make money as long as it is legal，” Zhao told the newspaper.
Zhao said he has a son and a daughter, both of whom have been diagnosed with serious diseases. His son, now 22, was diagnosed with secondary aplastic anemia (再生障碍性贫血) at the age of 11. His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) five years ago.
Though heavily burdened by the pressure to earn money for his children's treatment — he had already spent over 600,000 yuan, Zhao said he will not give up, even though a doctor had told him in early April that his daughter was basically cured. “I'll continue to work. After I find the proper marrow (骨髓) and collect enough money for my son's marrow transplant, the hardship will stop.”

1．C 根据本空后的scholarship及第三段的“we took her back to campus”推测，这个女孩是个学生(student)。
2．B 这个女孩只依靠数额不大的奖学金生活(make a living)，所以生活拮据。
3．B 通过上下文可知，这个女孩只靠数额不大的奖学金过活，且家里几乎是空的，由此可以推测，她几乎什么都没有。possessions“所有物”，符合语境。

5．A 从下文作者和朋友给这个女孩送去的东西可推断，这里指这个女孩可能需要一些家庭用品(items)。
6．D 作者打电话是提供帮助的，所以这个女孩表示感激的同时也提到了(mentioned)自己的一些困难。
7．C 盖在身上的东西只有一件外套，自然会感觉到冷(cold)。
8．B 儿行千里母担忧，所以孩子在外时，母亲会经常(constantly)担心自己的孩子。
9．B 由下文作者的朋友也来帮助可知，作者把这个消息告诉了(told)几个朋友。
10．C 大家都是来帮助那个女孩的，所以这里应该是指一个朋友提供了(provided)壶、锅、玻璃器皿等。
11．A 根据“brand new dishes and glasses in the supermarket”可知，作者的一个朋友甚至购买了(bought)一些东西。
12．B 根据下句的apartment可知，作者一行人到了这个女孩的公寓(apartment)。
13．A 根据otherwise(表示转折)可知，如果不是有人给了这个女孩一个睡袋，那么整个公寓就是空的(empty)。
14．B 作者和朋友是来帮忙的，所以他们卸下的应该是赠予的东西，故offerings符合语境。

I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“Nice shoes，” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented (赞美) me on them before，” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do，” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it，” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet，” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they're impatient with me. I don't want to make people uncomfortable.”

“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous，” he said. “I don't normally have someone look me in the eye.”
“They don't know what they're missing，” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag (自夸) about，” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it's not only a big smile but an attitude.

The amazing man however says that while it may surprise other people, to him it's just second nature. His only regret is that his disability prevents him from building larger pieces of furniture.21·世纪*教育网
While Sintay ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ehu's story would be considered unbelievable in any part of the world, it is even more so, in a third world country like Ethiopia, where most able bodied people can not get half the opportunities people in the Western world can.

Every person h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as a unique experience and a story to tell about his school life, so do I.21世纪教育网版权所有
We had great fun in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )growing and learning. Every year we were taken to different places for our school picnics. I was never able to go to these tours but I enjoyed every word of the stories told by my friends. When I was in Grade Eight, I won a couple of prizes in drawing and school competitions. We were also given many projects as class assignments that helped all of us to know more about the subject. I was very fond of cricket (now in football). My friends and I played cricket in the school campus after school, but at the same time, we all used to get lots of scolding from our headmaster.2·1·c·n·j·y
Every Saturday we us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed to have our P．T. exercise, and frankly speaking, nobody in my class, even me, had ever liked this. As I reached Grade Nine I realised that I should concentrate on my studies as the next year I was going to take my Board exams. The most memorable day in my life was the day when we held the farewell party for our seniors. Well, now I am in Grade Ten and all set to write my Boards in March. Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life, I feel very happy and in everybody's school life, I think there are many ups_and_downs that mould (浇铸) one's life. School is a place where all of us learn to care and share. “School” is not just a place, but also it is a large dome (圆屋顶) made up of knowledge, love and affection. I think in everybody's success, school plays a key role. I can describe my school in “Three S's”， they are: Small, Sweet and Simple.21·世纪*教育网

After record growth in over 40 countries, Universal Robots' lightweight robotic arms are now making their US debut (首次露面) at this year's International Manufacturing Trade Show (IMTS) in Chicago.
The UR5 robotic arm made by Universal Robots has been declared “The world's most innovative (创新的) robot” by The International Federation of Robotics and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Robotics and Automation Society. The US audience will now see the award winning robot — along with its big brother UR10 — for the first time.
The UR5 and UR10 robotic arms are aimed at small sized companies that thought robots were too expensive and hard to operate in existing production. The robotic arms are easily moved around the production area and present a simple user interface (界面) which lets employees quickly operate them.
Esben Ostergaard, founder and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) at Universal Robots, explains how the robots were designed to be as user friendly as possible：
“We decided to make programming easy by developing a user interface combined with a ‘teaching function’ allowing the user to simply grab the robot arm and show it how a movement should be performed. The robot can work in any production process very quickly. Our experience shows this is generally done in a few hours.”
The robots weigh as little as 40 pounds, making it possible for them to be moved around the production area to perform different tasks. The UR5 can handle a load of up to 5 kilos (11 pounds), the UR10, 10 kilos (22 pounds). As soon as an employee touches the robot arm and uses a force of at least 150 Newton, the robot arm will automatically stop operating.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了两种灵巧的、极具价格吸引力的UR机器人。
1．According to the text, the UR5 robotic arm ________.
A. was designed by IEEE
B. is aimed at small companies
C. has won a number of awards
D. made its appearance in 40 countries
答案与解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The UR5 and UR10 robotic arms are aimed at small sized companies”可知，这款机器人面向的是小型企业。
2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. the programme
B. the user interface
C. the robot arm
D. the “teaching function”
答案与解析 C 篇章结构题。本段主要讲的是设计者如何使机器人更方便用户使用。他们把程序简化，这样用户在使用的时候，只需把机器人拿来，向他演示如何完成一个动作，机器人在很短时间内便可学会，由此可判断it指的是上文的the robot arm。
3．What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A. The UR10 is heavier than the UR5.
B. The robots perform one task at a time.
C. The robots can finish a task in a few minutes.
D. The UR10 can handle twice as much weight as the UR5.
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The UR5 can handle a load of up to 5 kilos (11 pounds), the UR10, 10 kilos (22 pounds)”可知，UR10可以承载两倍于UR5的重量。
4．What's the text mainly about
A. An introduction to Universal Robots' new robots.
B. The difference between the UR5 and the UR10.
C. Why the UR5 and the UR10 were invented.
D. How to operate the UR5 and UR10.
答案与解析 A 主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道。第一段的“Universal Robots' lightweight robotic arms are now making their US debut at this year's International Manufacturing Trade Show (IMTS) in Chicago”就点明了本文的主题，因此本文主要介绍Universal Robots发明的两种新型UR机器人。
B
There's no such thing as a natural robot. Robots aren't alive, they don't grow, and they need people and technology to get around. But inventors of these machines don't ignore nature.
The inventors of a new robot called GoQBot drew inspiration from caterpillars (毛毛虫). To escape enemies or other dangerous situations, some caterpillars roll away. They do this trick in a second and make a fast getaway — reaching speed of nearly 8 inches per second!
“You touch the animal and you don't know where it's gone. It's really fast，” Huai Ti Lin said. Lin invented GoQBot while working on his Ph.D. in biology at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He is now a researcher at Harvard University.
On the outside, Lin's GoQBot looks a little bit like a large caterpillar. It is light green and just under four inches long. On the inside, however, GoQBot looks less like its inspiration. It is made of a rubbery material called silicone and has metal coils (线圈) inside.
When electrical currents travel through those metal coils, GoQBot rolls up and races away like the caterpillar.
Robots that crawl on many legs are slowed down because they have so many joints. Joints are spots where different parts come together, like people's knees. A robot that rolls, on the other hand, can reach high speed quickly.
The new robot is an example of biomimetic technology, which includes devices (装置) that imitate something in nature. Lin invented GoQBot to better understand how caterpillars move. In a recent study, he and his colleagues report that they've already started to learn about the bugs' ability to roll.
But there's one way in which GoQBot is decidedly not like a caterpillar. No matter how much current Lin and his colleagues pump through the coils, GoQBot will never change into a butterfly!
语篇解读 本文介绍了一种新型的仿生机器人——GoQBot。
5．We learn from the text that GoQBot ________.
A. has many joints like other robots
B. will roll away when touched
C. is not a robot in fact
D. takes inspiration from nature
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段及第二段的“The inventors of a new robot called GoQBot drew inspiration from caterpillars”可知选D项。
6．The biggest difference between GoQBot and a caterpillar is that ________.
A. they have different colors
B. they have different sizes
C. GoQBot moves more quickly
D. GoQBot can't change its form
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知，GoQBot从外观上看与毛毛虫很像；从文章最后一段可知，GoQBot再模仿毛毛虫，也不能像毛毛虫一样变成蝴蝶。
7．The last but one paragraph mainly discusses ________.
A. the inventors of GoQBot
B. the way caterpillars move
C. the usefulness of the invention
D. the future of biomimetic technology
答案与解析 C 段落大意题。本段谈到发明GoQBot的初衷及目前利用其进行研究所取得的进展，故选C项。
8．Which of the following is NOT true
A. The robot crawls faster than rolls.
B. The robot looks like the caterpillar in many ways.
C. Lin didn't fully understand caterpillars before he invented the robot.
D. When caterpillars roll away, they can run as quickly as 8 inches per second.
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。文章倒数第三段说机器人用很多条腿爬行会减慢速度，因为关节太多了。而团起身来就能达到很快的速度，可见A项是错误的，故选A。

13．C 司机以为小伙子是仗着他块头大而欺负自己个头矮小，明目张胆地不付钱。此处take advantage of意为“利用”。
14．B 小伙子一而再，再而三地不付钱，最后，司机再也无法“忍受”(stand)了。
15．A 司机认为自己个头矮小，身体瘦弱，不敢与小伙子直接针锋相对，所以报名参加了强身健体的“课程”(program)。
16．D 司机学习的是空手道和柔道之类强身健体的课程，经过一段时间的训练，变得非常“强壮”(strong)。
17．B 根据司机的动作表现可知他长期压抑的愤怒终于得以迸发，所以对小伙子“尖叫”(scream)。
