When Allie and Chloe Knuth decided to both attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the twins from Green Bay were excited to share a campus but also determined to have their own distinct experiences and follow their own academic paths.
Four years later—as they graduate together this month—the twins say things worked out even better than they could have expected. UW-Eau Claire’s campus is small enough that their lives sometimes overlap（重叠）, yet big enough that each of them has had room to stretch and grow as individuals.
“It means a lot to graduate alongside each other and I wouldn’t want it any other way,” says Chloe, who will earn her degree in international business and management with certificates in Mandarin Chinese and leadership studies. “Graduating college is a momentous experience and I love that I will be walking with my sister.”
Allie, who will graduate with a degree in biology and a certificate in Chinese language, originally planned to go to UW-Madison. However, as college neared, Allie decided to go to UW-Eau Claire as well, a decision Chloe supported. “I didn’t want to be without my twin sister,” Allie says of her decision. “It means a great deal to be graduating with my sister because she has always been there for me.”
They shared some experiences and accomplishments during their college careers. For example, they both completed certificates in Chinese. As Asian Americans, it was important for them to learn more about Chinese language and culture.
Allie and Chloe also are active in the University Honors Program, a program where they were able to explore interesting topics that fell outside their academic program. “This program is not just something to put on my resume; it had a vast positive influence on my college experience,” says Allie. Chloe and Allie contributed a great deal to the Honors program, Dr. Heather Fielding says. They invested time and effort into helping other students, especially new students, to adapt to college and develop a sense of belonging, she says.
4．What did Allie and Chloe Knuth expect in the university

C．The twins won their new jobs through the program.
D．The twins regretted getting involved in the program.

C
As he applied sunscreen to his young daughter’s face, Dara O’Rourke, a professor of environmental and labor policy at the University of California, Berkeley, found himself wondering if the lotion（霜） was safe. He realized there was no readily available answer. The result—two years, a team of chemists, lots of testing and venture capital（风险投资）later— is . Launched in 2008, this is a website with a smart phone app that rates 140,000 consumer products （only in America） according to their safety, environmental sustainability and the ethics of the firms that make them. Now GoodGuide has created a new “purchase analyzer” app designed to inform consumers not just about the values attached to products, but also about whether they are the virtuous（有信誉的） shoppers they say they want to be.
Using the new app requires selecting a series of characteristics, which range from whether the user favours organic products to buying only from firms with a good human-rights record. Consumers then scan the bar code on a product with the camera in their smart phones. The app identifies it and checks in a database to score it. Much therefore depends on the quality of the data, which GoodGuide gathers from various sources, including government reports, scientific studies, and research by its own staff. If the product scores badly, the app will recommend an alternative item which is rated more highly. The app also tracks a consumer’s purchases to see how well he lives up to his selected values, giving a sort of personal virtue rating.
So far, GoodGuide has mostly been used by shoppers who are keen to know about any issues connected with products they buy. They are mothers concerned about a child’s health, older people facing a chronic（慢性的） illness or supporters of a cause, such as animal rights. The hope behind the app is that the idea of finding out about a product’s background will become the mainstream.
Consumers rarely change their buying habits, even when provided with scientific and other data, says Mr O’Rourke. So he has drawn on insights from behavioral economics, which show shoppers can be greatly influenced by peer pressure and by information passed on to them by people they know. The app tries to take advantage of these pressures. The virtue rating will inform consumers how well they are doing according to the values they espouse（拥护）. That measurement encourages them to do better. Soon, the rating will be able to be shared with others on social media sites such as Facebook, which could inspire a shopper to consume more thoughtfully.
8．Why does the author mention Dara O’Rourke applying sunscreen to his daughter
A．To show Dara O’Rourke’s deep love for his daughter.
B．To present the potential risks young children may face.
C．To introduce the back ground of the creation of .
D．To show customers’ increasing attention to the safety of products.
9．What can we know about the new “purchase analyze” app
A．It gathers data about the quality of a product from users.
B．It recommends products based on users’ personal preference.
C．It gives users guidance on how to identify the quality of a product.
D．It traces users’ purchases to judge whether they are virtuous shoppers.
10．According to O’Rourke, people’s buying habits can be greatly affected by ______.
A．acquaintances’ recommendations B．sellers’ marketing strategies
C．scientific data D．advertisements
11．The purpose of the personal virtue rating is to encourage people to ______.
A．spend wisely B．change their buying habits
C．deal with peer pressure positively D．share their shopping experiences
D
In China, in order to ease the pressure on parents’ wallets, education is free until children reach the age of about 15．So why is it that more than half of a typical family’s spending goes on education The answer is cramming classes: a financial burden so great that it is often said to discourage couples from having children at all. Now officials are doing their part. It appears to relieve the pressure on people’s wallets.
But parents are not sure whether it will work. As many of them see it, cramming is not optional. Exams for entry to senior high schools are fiercely competitive. Then comes the dreaded Gaokao: the university-entrance exam on which a child’s future depends. No wonder the industry’s growth has been rapid. One firm, Zuoyebang（“help with homework”） says it offers live-streaming classes to more than 170m active users each month.
But officials are worried about its social impact. The birth rate is the lowest in decades and China is ageing fast. They also say that school children are overstressed. Urban pupils attend cramming classes for more than 10 hours a week, according to Deloitte, an accountancy firm.
While as the People’s Daily, an official newspaper, reported this month, the market for such services is in “endless chaos”. It listed problems ranging from misleading advertising to high prices and the use of unqualified teachers.
Government’s new regulations of clamping down on cram schools sent shivers through the industry. New Oriental, one of China’s biggest cramming companies, saw its share price on the New York Stock Exchange drop below $8, from a high of more than$19 in February. On June 9th the education ministry said a new government department would be set up to oversee such businesses, including both online courses and lessons in the classroom. There is also a widespread speculation, including in state media, that the new rules will impose limits on when firms can offer classes. They may, for example, prohibit classes after a certain time in the evening, during the summer holidays or at weekends.
Some analysts think the government may have another motive. Many of the companies belong to China’s tech giants, including Alibaba and Tencent, which have already attracted government’s attention for dominating markets and expanding into finance and other areas. Targeting the cramming business could be another way of breaking their wings. Parents wonder whether they will benefit. Some are concerned that the new rules will leave them with no choice but to use private tutors, which could prove even more costly.
12．Why do cramming schools enjoy great popularity among Chinese students
A．The exams are so demanding that they have no choice.
B．The live-streaming classes offered are really appealing.
C．Entering senior high schools makes them less competitive.
D．Government officials are worried about their performance.
13．What is NOT a problem put forward by the People’s Daily with the cram school market
A．High fees. B．Experienced tutors.
C．Improper advertising. D．Chaotic management.
14．What can we infer about the parents’ attitude towards the new regulations
A．Supportive. B．Indifferent. C．Skeptical. D．Critical.
15．What is the main idea of this passage
A．China’s tech giants control the market. B．China says no to the cramming business.
C．Gaokao imposes too much burden to students. D．New Oriental is the biggest cramming company.

Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their scats.
Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. 16 The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.
If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright （怯场）. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the centre of attention.
17 People experience it when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic （恐慌）, and these feelings are very real.
18 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical （化学的） process takes place in each of us. In reaction to anxiety（焦虑）, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.
19 Practising your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves（神经紧张） and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately （合适地）.Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine（咖啡因）. 20 Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look at a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.
A．These might make your heart race even faster.
B．You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.
C．Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress.
D．Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.
E．Therefore, you’d better learn to be relaxed about this fear.
F．The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.
G．Stage fright prevents you from going further.

47．Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing!” David stopped and looked the little boy. The boy said nothing, He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs. Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But One day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs. Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “Well done” from Mrs. Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that, he almost shed tears. He had never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs. Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs. Brown to read them and correct them for him. Mrs. Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he attributed his success to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
