One evening last summer, when I asked my 14 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander(漏勺) ” he asked.
I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.
As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner ” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless.
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad I prepared so great a present for my future daughter in-law.
24.Why was the author shocked at her son’s response
A. Because he was not well behaved.
B. Because he refused to help with dinner.
C. Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.
D. Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.
25. In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to _________.
A. building up children’s confidence B. telling kids what is right and wrong
C. preparing children for their future life D. making children live a hard life
26. We can infer from the text that Ray _________.
A. made great progress in cooking B. always thought housework interesting
C. preferred sewing to cooking D. was unwilling to learn cooking at first
27. What would the author like to convey in the text
A. Useful education for boys B. The importance of housework
C. Cooking and sewing make boys masculine. D. Boys should be involved in housework.
C
We're on the edge of a new age of interconnectedness，when the daily lives of people across the planet will be more closely connected than ever. Advances in technology will lead in the age of fifth generation, or 5G, telecommunications.And this technological evolution will lead to dramatic changes.
The first generation of mobile communications, with brick-sized phones，brought just a handful of users expensive and often unreliable voice calling.The second generation introduced digital voice service that was less likely to be dropped, available to many more people and finally cheaper to use. 3G led to a revolution in the mobile Internet, mobile computing, and the increase of apps. 4G made it possible that all we have come to expect of mobile broadband.We take all this connectivity for granted, but the engineering inside the device in your bag or pocket today would have seemed impossible less than 20 years ago.
So, where will 5G take us Think about a world in which not just people but all things are connected: cars to the roads they are on; doctors to the personal medical devices of their patients; augmented reality ( AR ) available to help people shop and learn and explore wherever they are. This requires a massive increase in the level of connectivity. 5G is the technological answer, making possible billions of new connections, and making those connections secure. 5G will impact every industry—-autos, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, emergency services, just to name a few. And 5G is purposely designed so that these industries can take advantage of cellular connectivity in ways that wouldn't have been possible before, and to scale upwards as use of 5G expands.
But generational change in mobile communications doesn't just appear overnight. It requires significant effort in research and development and the resources necessary to support that effort. Work on 4G took nearly a decade and the challenges were not easy. There is promise yet in what we're capable of achieving.
What can we infer from the first four generations
A. 1G is big, expensive and stable. B. 2G is not expensive for the poor.
C. 3G allows the mobile to connect to the Internet. D. 4G is beyond all that we expect.
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. 5G brings a revolutionary reform. B. 5G benefits lots of industries.
C. 5G expands too fast to follow. D. 5G requires high connectivity.
30. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Early birds catch the worms. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. Knowledge starts with practice. D. Birds of a feather flock together.
31. What does the author think of the generational change
A. Significant and effective. B. Difficult and worthless.
C. Challenging but promising. D. Necessary but impossible.
D
A robot with a sense of touch may one day "feel" pain, both its own physical pain and sympathy for the pain of its human companions. Such touchy-feely robots are still far off, but advances in robotic touch-sensing are bringing that possibility closer to reality.
Sensors set in soft, artificial skin that can detect both a gentle touch and a painful strike have been hooked up to a robot that can then signal emotions, Asada reported February 15 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This artificial "pain nervous system," as Asada calls it, may be a small building block for a machine that could ultimately experience pain. Such a feeling might also allow a robot to "sympathize" with a human companion's suffering.
Asada, an engineer at Osaka University, and his colleagues have designed touch sensors that reliably pick up a range of touches. In a robot system named Affetto, an realistic-looking child's head, these touch and pain signals can be converted to emotional facial expressions.
A touch-sensitive, soft material, as opposed to a rigid metal surface, allows richer interactions between a machine and the world, says neuroscientist Kingson Man of the University of Southern California. Artificial skin "allows the possibility of engagement in truly intelligent ways".
Such a system, Asada says, might ultimately lead to robots that can recognize the pain of others, a valuable skill for robots designed to help care for people in need, the elderly, for instance.
But there is an important distinction between a robot that responds in a predictable way to a painful strike and a robot that's able to compute an internal feeling accurately, says Damasio, a neuroscientist also at the University of Southern California. A robot with sensors that can detect touch and pain is "along the lines of having a robot, for example, that smiles when you talk to it," Damasio says. "It's a device for communication of the machine to a human." While that's an interesting development, "it's not the same thing" as a robot designed to compute some sort of internal experience, he says.
32.What do we know about the "pain nervous system"
A. It is named Affetto by scientists.
B. It is a set of complicated sensors.
C. It is able to signal different emotions.
D. It combines sensors and artificial skin.
33. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Delivered. B. Translated. C. Attached. D. Adapted.
34. What does Damasio consider as an interesting development
A. Robots can smile when talked to.
B. Robots can talk to human beings.
C. Robots can compute internal feelings.
D. Robots can detect pains and respond accordingly.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. Machines Become Emotional B. Robots Inch to Feeling Pain
C. Human Feelings Can Be Felt D. New Devices Touch Your Heart

You know that eating healthy, staying active, and solving few brain games can help keep your memory. But the following lesser-known habits work wonders too.
36
When we sit with our shoulders bent forward, this defeated position actually causes us to feel anxious or depressed, which makes it harder to think clearly and remember things. On the contrary, straight upright posture apparently improves memory because it boosts blood and oxygen flow to the brain.
Exercise
Having trouble remembering faces？ 37 In a study, pictures of faces were shown to older folks after they pedal an indoor bike at an intense pace or simply sit on a self-pedaling bike. On average, people remembered the faces better after the intense exercise. What's more, the memory gains after a single workout were similar to the gains after 3 months of regular exercise.
Limit TV
Every parent and grandparent has heard that too much screen time can hurt a child’s brain development. 38 According to a study, people（aged 50 or older）who watched more than 3.5 hours of TV a day for 6 years experienced a greater drop in verbal memory test scores than those who watched less.
Draw aimlessly
A research shows those who drew the words remembered the most when recalling words. That' s because while some parts of brain about getting memory back become worse as people grow older, the picture processing regions usually don't. 39
Walk Backward
40 Walk back！Backward motion-whether real, imagined, or watched-helps people remember the information better than sitting still and, in most cases, better than forward motion. It may be that moving backward in space mentally helps us move back in time to the moment we learned something.
A． Stand still.
B． Sit Straight.
C． Avoid workouts.
D． Sweat for physical training.
E. Thus drawing can help adults keep their memory sharp.
F. But what about those at the other end of their life span？
G. Next time you're trying to recall something, don't just think back.

The notebooks will be on 53 later this year in a Darwin show at the library. Local police said they are continuing to 54 who may have taken the notebooks and asked for help from anyone who has 55 about the case.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles "
"Oh, yes...but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing. I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
"What is it " asked the man kindly.
"Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, "Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her "
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

Good afternoon，everyone！It is my honor to deliver a speech on “Clear Your Plate” campaign.
There is no doubt that excessive food waste will pose a potential threat to food security.And it costs energy to deal with wasted food，ultimately increasing greenhouse gases.So when we dine out，it is our responsibility to order a proper amount of food and take leftovers home.In addition，schools should conduct some activities to demonstrate the significance of reducing food waste.
For a greener environment and a more prosperous future，let’s all clear our plates！Thank you!

参考答案：
Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. "Where could my mother be " she wondered, "was she still angry with me " Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. "Here you come! I've been looking for you," she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms. "Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me." She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.

【原文】M: Hello, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about first impressions. According to psychologists, people form first impressions based first on how you look, then on how you sound, and finally on what you say.
Your physical appearance-how you look-makes up 55 percent of a first impression. This includes facial expressions, body language, and eye contact, as well as clothing and general appearance.
The way you sound makes up 38 percent of the first impression. People listen to your tone of voice and decide whether you sound friendly or unfriendly, interested or bored, and happy or sad.
What you say- the actual words you use- counts for only 7 percent of the message.
People form their first impressions within ten seconds of meeting you.
And first impressions don't change easily. If someone gets the wrong impression of you, it can take a long time to change his or her mind.
