A BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓) REGISTRATION
These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.
—Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血)every 4—6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor(捐献者) through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...
24. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag. B. He had breakfast at home.
C. He left a note on the freezer. D. He left the house quietly.
25. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A. The height of the first rocks. B. The change in the position of the sun.
C. The ups and downs of the waves. D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A. Tim was the only person on the beach. B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C. The sea looked like a piece of gold. D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.
27. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.
A. loneliness to craziness B. anxiousness to excitement
C. eagerness to nervousness D. helplessness to happiness
C
Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．
I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．
The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special.” said marketing director Margaret Jobling．
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．
28．Instagram probably is______．
A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of “Food for Life’’
C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project
29．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?
A．Confused B．Unconcerned C．Opposed D．Interested
30．“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．
A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customers
C．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers
31．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up Diner C．No Need to Pay D．Food for Life
D
Los Angeles: Love for Mom is necessary, but buying flowers on her big day may not be.
A slump in flower sales since late last year is likely to continue through Mother’s Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gas prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too. ”
US flower sales for Mother’s Day will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17. 65, according to the National Federation.
Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates website downtown-flowers.net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a huge company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis (危机), orders decreased.
32. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means _______.
A. sharp decrease in price B. sudden fall by a large amount
C. global worry of flower stores D. great fear for losing jobs
33. This passage infers that Americans have ______.
A. delivered flowers to every house for mothers B. no longer bought flowers for mothers
C. met financial problems recently D. cut back on spending because of unemployment
34. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Sorry Mom, Love You but No Flowers B. Holiday Purchases Have a Hard Time
C. Hard Time Coming Nearer D. Mother’s Day and Crisis
35. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Gabriel Soto was concerned about losing his job.
B. Gabriel Soto owns a flower shop on line.
C. Gabriel Soto won’t buy flowers for his mother on Mother’s Day this year.
D. Gabriel Soto has ordered flowers this Mother’s day.

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.
1. Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply curious. 37 Ask kids, “What ingredients(配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?

As is often the case, when people are attending meetings, having meals or waiting buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a commonly phenomenon(现象) in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure(接触) to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people which lose themselves in phones fail to communicate well with those around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make the use of their phones. They also need to care more about their family and friend rather than mobile phones.

My name is Li Hua. I feel honored to have the chance to share my out-of-class English learning experience with you.
Firstly, I often participate in English Corner, where I can communicate with students and foreigners. Not only can I improve my oral English but learn more customs in western countries.
Secondly, I insist on keeping a diary, which helps me to put what I’ve learnt to use.
Moreover, I often surf the Internet and enjoyreading.com, making my reading improved and opening a window to see the world.
It’s because of these and my effort that I got the first place in the English Contest held recently in our school. I hope my experience will be of some help to you.

A BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓) REGISTRATION
These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.
—Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother
Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血)every 4—6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor(捐献者) through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...
24. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag. B. He had breakfast at home.
C. He left a note on the freezer. D. He left the house quietly.
25. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A. The height of the first rocks. B. The change in the position of the sun.
C. The ups and downs of the waves. D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A. Tim was the only person on the beach. B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C. The sea looked like a piece of gold. D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.
27. In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_________.
A. loneliness to craziness B. anxiousness to excitement
C. eagerness to nervousness D. helplessness to happiness
C
Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．
I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．
The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special.” said marketing director Margaret Jobling．
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．
28．Instagram probably is______．
A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of “Food for Life’’
C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project
29．What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?
A．Confused B．Unconcerned C．Opposed D．Interested
30．“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．
A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customers
C．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers
31．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up Diner C．No Need to Pay D．Food for Life
D
Los Angeles: Love for Mom is necessary, but buying flowers on her big day may not be.
A slump in flower sales since late last year is likely to continue through Mother’s Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gas prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too. ”
US flower sales for Mother’s Day will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17. 65, according to the National Federation.
Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers. But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates website downtown-flowers.net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a huge company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis (危机), orders decreased.
32. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means _______.
A. sharp decrease in price B. sudden fall by a large amount
C. global worry of flower stores D. great fear for losing jobs
33. This passage infers that Americans have ______.
A. delivered flowers to every house for mothers B. no longer bought flowers for mothers
C. met financial problems recently D. cut back on spending because of unemployment
34. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Sorry Mom, Love You but No Flowers B. Holiday Purchases Have a Hard Time
C. Hard Time Coming Nearer D. Mother’s Day and Crisis
35. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Gabriel Soto was concerned about losing his job.
B. Gabriel Soto owns a flower shop on line.
C. Gabriel Soto won’t buy flowers for his mother on Mother’s Day this year.
D. Gabriel Soto has ordered flowers this Mother’s day.

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.

As is often the case, when people are attending meetings, having meals or waiting buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a commonly phenomenon(现象) in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure(接触) to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people which lose themselves in phones fail to communicate well with those around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make the use of their phones. They also need to care more about their family and friend rather than mobile phones.

My name is Li Hua. I feel honored to have the chance to share my out-of-class English learning experience with you.
Firstly, I often participate in English Corner, where I can communicate with students and foreigners. Not only can I improve my oral English but learn more customs in western countries.
Secondly, I insist on keeping a diary, which helps me to put what I’ve learnt to use.
Moreover, I often surf the Internet and enjoyreading.com, making my reading improved and opening a window to see the world.
It’s because of these and my effort that I got the first place in the English Contest held recently in our school. I hope my experience will be of some help to you.
