My nephew Tyden and I were celebrating another nephew's birthday at a local amusement (娱乐) center. It was the kind of place where you get tickets for scoring points in the games and then cash them in for prizes
Tyden won top prize of tickets, so we went to cash them in and select his gifts. I felt a little sad because my loved one and I had our first date at this center and had exchanged little things from the showcase ( 陈列柜). I noticed a turtle and remembered my partner loved it. I asked the young man behind the showcase if I could just buy the turtle without tickets. He said, "Unluckily, that is not a choice."
I needed to win 350 tickets to cash the turtle in, so I left Tyden choosing his gift alone there. I bought game tokens (代币) and entered the game room. I had just chosen a game I thought I could win when I heard Tyden's excited voice, “Auntie, Auntie! Look!"
He pulled the turtle out from behind his back and gave it to me. My eyes filled with tears and my heart burst with love. He had listened to that whole conversation and chosen to give the turtle to me instead of getting whatever he wanted.
Before I could thank him, he said, “I wanted you to have it, so you didn't have to spend money,
which would cause you to work hard."
I held him in my arms, and told him how much I loved him. I am beyond thankful to have the title of his Auntie.
What did the author fail to do
A. Find another gift. B. Buy a turtle. C.Exchange gifts. D. Please her loved one.
Why did the author decide to play the game
A. To get a prize. B.To beat Tyden.
C. To challenge herself. D. To win tickets for her nephew.
How did the author feel when Tyden gave her the turtle
A. Worried. B.Moved. C.Surprised. D. Confused.
Which word can best describe Tyden
A. Hardworking. B. Clever. C. Honest. D.Caring.
C
It is challenging to teach children about seasonal foods in a modern-day grocery store (杂货店). Having lots of choices of fresh produce from all around the world means that a sense of the seasons is lost. That's why I like being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.Every week I receive a share of vegetables that comes from a nearby farm. I do not know ahead of time what I'm getting, nor do I have any say on what comes home; I take whatever was harvested earlier that same day, based on the week's weather conditions, and use them to the best of my ability.
My kids have had a good knowledge of the supply of certain vegetables throughout the harvesting season. They know what it's like to eat a lot of asparagus ( 芦 笋 ) until they're sick of it,
only to move on to dark greens and leafy salads, then eggplants, and tomatoes, and finally the root vegetables that mark the arrival of cold weather.
The funny thing is, when you've eaten a ton of something for a few weeks, you're ready to move on to the next crop (作物) and leave the other behind, but when its time comes the following year, the expectation will return. In this way, a CSA share creates excitement at vegetables that can't be felt when everything can be bought all the time, as it is in a grocery store.
A farmers’ market can offer similar lessons in seasonality to a CSA, but it differs in that you have more choices about what you buy. A CSA share, however, only offers few kinds of vegetables and sometimes fruits, forcing you to work out ways of using them up. I enjoy this challenge because it tests my cooking skills and introduces my family to new and unusual vegetables. What's more, it is glad to know I'm supporting local farmers by eating what they want to grow, not just what I'm used to eating.
What is special about the vegetables offered by the CSA program
They are free.
They are cheap.
They can't be found in local grocery stores.
They make the author full of expectations.
What does the author think of the CSA share
It provides enough supply of vegetables.
It makes people choose vegetables freely.
It keeps people's excitement for vegetables.
It makes people become sick of eating vegetables.
What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
It encourages him to support local farmers.
It helps him learn about the community.
It gives people more choices of foods.
It causes local farmers a lot of stress.
What is the best title for the text
Local food is becoming more popular
The CSA program is making a difference
People are encouraged to experience farm life
Naturally grown food improves people's health

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face
to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (虚拟现实) (VR) headphone. It took the Berkeley Carroll School junior and eight other classmates to a northern New York farm. The farm was 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer kept within the length of a bus ride.
It's unknown how many classrooms have or will use the technology, but experts say few classrooms do or will do. Headphones that require a user's phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, but systems and software (软件) for classes run into thousands of dollars. The problem of not having good software is disappearing as more companies enter the market. But the rules for use haven't kept abreast of the development of the technology. In New York, for example, virtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements.
Experts say science classes are where virtual reality holds promise for classrooms. “The biggest problem, I think, is going to be how closely it mimics ( 模 仿 ) the real world." That's according to David Evans, the director of the National Science Teachers Union. However, he said, “The ability to do dangerous things, the ability to run many, many more cases in a virtual space as opposed to the real physical space stands for a huge learning chance."
Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you did something wrong. But we don't have enough resources (资源) for you to redo it," he said. "In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals."
What was Taylor Engler doing
A. Riding a bus. B. Giving a lesson.
C. Designing a farm. D. Experiencing VR.
What does the underlined part “ kept abreast of " in paragraph 2 mean
A. Led to. B. Focused on."
C. Caught up with. D. Broken away from.
What did Lamb think of the use of VR in the classroom
A. Helpful. B. Time-saving.
C. Interesting. D. Challenging.
What is the purpose of the text
To point out the importance of practice.
To encourage the use of VR in teaching.
To give information about modern schools.
To show the development of VR technology.

The daily life can be busy and at times difficult. It may sometimes feel like bringing just a little more inner peace and calmness into your life is a hopeless wish. 76 Small and smart changes can make a big difference over time. Here are some tips for finding more peace and calmness in everyday life.
Set limits (限制). If your life is overfilled, you may need to set some limits. So stop doing some
of the least important things,which honestly don’t matter that much. Set a limit for how many times you will check your mailbox,Instagram,Twitter etc. per day. 77
Organise your world and your mind. 78 A tidy,clean and ordered space around you brings clarity and order to the mind. So don’t stop there. Simplify and organise your home and life to live in a more relaxing environment.
79 Reading minds is pretty much impossible. But still we often try it and create anxiety and uncertainty for ourselves. So ask and communicate instead. It may sometimes be a bit hard at first but it can save you and the people around you so much trouble in the long run.
Solve a problem that is weighing heavily on you. Solve your problem and release(释放) all the
stress that it is creating in your life. You probably already know what to do, and you are just not doing it yet. 80 So get up from your chair and get started right now.
Ask instead of guessing.
Sometimes you have a bad day.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
And say no if you really don't have the time.
Leave your work and work phone where it belongs.
Just take three minutes to organize the room you're in.
But the longer you wait,the worse the tension (紧张) inside becomes.
