A
I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos( 标 识 ) in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I like the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped( 拱 形 的 ) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A. They are boring. B. They are out of date.
C. They are attractive. D. They are practical.
We can learn that Apple’s present logo is .
A. the religious story of Adam and Eve. B. a bitten apple with only one color.
C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree. D. the rainbow-colored bitten apple.
Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?
Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s - Nike - Apple.
Nike - McDonald’s- Apple- Mercedes Benz.
McDonald’s– Apple- Nike- Mercedes Benz.
Nike- Mercedes Benz - McDonald’s- Apple.

Customers who come into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a soft-spoken 18-year-old from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as a regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took his plate and began cutting up his ham.”
Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams’s Facebook notification（关注）began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf’s post and tracked her in it.
Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figured, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather,” Williams said.
The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city’s mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Williams’s day, and also received an email from Texas Southern University President Austin A. Lane, asking if the school could present Williams with a scholarship.
Williams still works at Waffle House five days a week and plans to do so until she starts classes in the fall at Houston-based Texas Southern. Wolf said Williams does not have a car to get to classes, but some people have offered to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a moment of a kindness can change a life.
Why did Wolf post the photo on Facebook?
The photo reminded her of her late father.
It could satisfy her inner needs.
She was touched by the sight.
The customer had trouble with his hands.
What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Without a second thought. B. After careful consideration.
C. Winning a reward. D. Better serving customers.
What can we infer about Evoni Williams?
She seldom saw Charpentier come to the House for breakfast.
It was GoFundMe page that led to her good luck.
She is no longer working in service business.
She has probably received a scholarship for her college education.
What is the author’s purpose of writing the article?
To help Williams receive higher education.
To introduce a random act of kindness.
To show that young generation can always help.
To emphasize the influence of the social media.
C
Ten minutes of gentle exercise can immediately change how certain parts of the brain communicate and coordinate (协调) with one another and improve memory fun_ction, according to an encouraging new study.
The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or, on a separate visit, pedal the bicycle at a pace so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates. It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people completed a computerized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this process--riding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and
then completing memory testing--but the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine( 磁共振成像仪)that scanned the people's brains while they responded to the images.
Then the researchers compared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each people's brain lit up at the same time with parts of the brain associated with learning, indicating that these physically separate parts of the brain were better connected now than when the people had not first exercised.
How did the researchers conduct the study?
A．By filling up questionnaires. B．By interviewing many people. C．By comparing experiment data. D．By referring to historical reports.
Who might benefit most from the study result?
The marketers promoting fixed bicycles.
The young people crazy about body building.
The white collars doing long-term mental work.
The blue-collars doing heavy physical labor work.
Which of the following statements agrees with the study result?
The light exercise benefits young people.
The more the exercise is, the better the brain works.
The exercise can coordinate different parts of the body.
The exercise has more positive effects when the brain works harder.
What can be the best title for the text? A．Exercise changes people's brains. B．Gentle exercises counts.
C．Everyone should value exercise.
D．Even ten minutes’ exercise can benefit people's brains

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.
36 Some selfies are extreme close-ups, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.
Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seem to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 37 .
There are also kinds of psychological factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site. 38 A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 39 That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.
Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 40 So don’t post anything online, selfie especially.
There are lots of selfie styles.
The rise of selfie has become universal.
Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.
The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfie goes back to a biological behavior.
But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.
There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.
The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the past few years, quite a number of men and women 61 (choose) to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them 62 joy and happiness and do 63 (they) harm both physically and mentally.
In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing 64 it is often supposed to be. Above all, 65 it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to 66 ,otherwise meaningless, idle life. Moreover, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own 67 (person) worth — the very aim of a human life.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and 68 is no way to avoid it. 69 we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities 70 (deal) with it rather than to escape from it.

The old saying, “The early bird catches the worm,” show us the importance of planning, working hard and trying constant. To achieve outstanding results, most people must plan ahead and work diligently to overcome kind of difficulties.
That has been my own experience, too. When I first started high school, I seldom pass ray exams, so I had never prepared well. Later, my teacher, Mr. Black, suggested me plan everything in the advance. She asked me to study hard as well. After a year of putting his advice onto practice, I can now easily pass all my exams. There are no shortcuts to succeed.
