The regular editor (编辑) of the agricultural paper was going off for a holiday, and I took his place.
It was an easy job since I've been in the editorial business for fourteen years. I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice. As I went to the office in the morning, a group of men stood outside, watching me with interest, and I heard one or two of them say: “That's him!” I was naturally pleased.
After a while, an old gentleman entered my office and asked me, “Are you the new editor?”
I said I was.
“Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?”
“No,” I said. “This is my first try.”
“I'd like to read you this:?‘Turnips (大头菜) should never be pulled; it injures them. It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’”
“Now, what do you think of that? ”
“I think it is good. Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled. If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree ...”
“Shake your grandmother! Turnips don't grow on trees!”
“Oh, they don't? Well, who said they did? The language was intended to be figurative (比喻的).”
Then this old person tore his paper into pieces, and went out.
Pretty soon after this, the editor came in, looking sad and confused.
He said,?“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature? You talk of the moulting (换羽毛) season for cows; and you say that clams (蛤蜊) will lie quiet if music were played to them. Nonsense! Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music. Ah, heavens and earth, friend! Why didn't you tell me you didn't know anything about agriculture?”
24. How did the author feel at the first sight of the men?

C. To find out if it was written by the author.

The American Thanksgiving holiday is on Thursday. Many people will get together with family members for a big meal. It is a time to celebrate family, friends and everything there is to be thankful for.
But some people do not look forward to spending a lot of time with their family. It can be stressful. Family members can start arguments with each other. Some people at the meal may have conflicting (冲突的) political beliefs. Conflict can even find its way into the kitchen, where all the cooking takes place. There is a saying called “too many cooks in the kitchen.” This means that, sometimes, if many people are trying to do a project together, it does not turn out as well as it could have if only one person were in charge. That is why people are offering Thanksgiving survival ideas on Twitter.
Rick Irwin had one. “Say that you're letting the dog out and use it as an excuse to disappear for several hours.” Tracy Brooks had a suggestion for limiting Thanksgiving dinner responsibilities. She wrote: “Be the last to arrive and the first to leave.”
Since there is so much food at the Thanksgiving meal, Christine Turner suggested forgetting about your diet and wearing loose? (宽松的) clothing. But, one fitness expert said people do not have to give up on their diets during the big meal. They can prepare foods that have fewer calories (卡路里). For example, they could bake some foods instead of frying them in oil.
But other people are looking forward to the holiday. Sara Marie Brenner wondered why people need to “survive” Thanksgiving, at all. She wrote: “I enjoy the holiday.”
28. Why do some people dislike having Thanksgiving with their family?
A. Some disagreements may arise.
B. They live far away from each other.
C. They have distant family relationships.
D. The traditional cooking takes up too much time.
29. Which of the following is an example of “too many cooks in the kitchen”?
A. Many friends came to help but ruined my plan.
B. Nobody is willing to help me when I'm in trouble.
C. I don't know who to choose from the many helpers.
D. Many cooks don't know more about cooking than I.
30. What advice does Christine offer on Thanksgiving diet?
A. Preparing low-calorie foods.??????
B. Limiting food intake.?????
C. Enjoying the food.???
D. Baking foods.
31. What is Sara's attitude towards Thanksgiving?
A. Worried.????? ???????
B. Positive.?????
C. Critical.???? ?????????????????
D. Uninterested.

Baghdad (AFP)?—?Haneen, who has spent most of her life in orphanages (孤儿院), says she used to stay weeks locked up by herself, eating, watching TV and sleeping through each day.
Last week, the 13-year-old Iraqi girl was smiling happily when the crowd at a?Baghdad?theatre warmly clapped her and her friends.
“Now I'm happy. I sing, dance and joke with my friends,” she said. “I have changed. People are asking me: ‘What happened? Have you gone crazy?'”
What happened was a project set up by the Ruya Foundation for Contemporary Culture in Iraq, which introduces drama therapy (戏剧疗法) to a country where almost everybody has suffered some kind of trauma (创伤).
Six theatre professionals were trained in?Beirut?by Catharsis, a drama therapy centre led by director Zeina Daccache, known for her work with prisoners in?Lebanon.
Bassem Altayeb was one of the trainees. He said, “Each one found some confidence and built their character.”
“I am proud of them today,” said wet-eyed Iman Hassoon, the orphanage's principal, after the show.
“I hope they can use the energy they found with this play to protect themselves and have a place of their own in society,” Hassoon added.
The drama therapy project explores a way of “dealing with people's problems in an extremely damaged society such as?Iraq, which has experienced so much trauma and violence,” said Tamara Chalabi, chair of the Ruya Foundation.
“Iraq is a society for men, not really for women. These girls are particularly vulnerable (易受伤害的),”?added Furat al-Jamil, an Iraqi-German artist who also works with Ruya.
“The first time I visited the orphanage, the girls were very shy; they were hiding. Now you see them confident and sociable,” Jamil said.
After the play, the girls themselves could hardly believe their own change.
Ruqayyeh, 13, burst into tears when the lights came back on and the audience stood up to clap.
“I had always dreamt of being an actress, of being on stage ... But I used to be unhappy and bored; nobody liked hanging out with me. Now everything's changed and the girls love me.”
32. What did Haneen do last week?
A. She put on a show.
B. She locked herself up.
C. She made new friends at a theatre.
D. She watched a play with her friends.
33. What's the main purpose of the theatre project?
A. To help girls find confidence.
B. To train girls to produce drama.
C. To raise money for orphanages.
D. To prevent girls going to prison.
34. What is Hassoon's expectation for the orphans?
A. They can repay society.
B. They can find a good job.
C. They can survive in society.
D. They can find better living places.
35. Why did Ruqayyeh cry on stage?
A. She performed badly.
B. She was too nervous.
C. She remembered her sad past.
D. She was so happy about her change.

Running two miles around the school track isn't exactly at the top of most fifth-graders' lists of fun things to do. But students in Ms. Zimmerman's class at Mark Twain School in Angels Camp, California, gladly ran laps (圈) to raise money to help a dog in need.

“I love dogs and when I heard about Peter I felt so sad for him,” says student Trisha Fritts.

“At first I felt like the Jog-a-Thon was just to get us to run laps,” says student Michael Cox. “?38?”
“I just wanted to make a difference in Peter's life,” adds classmate Chance Wood.
?39??Before long, five other classes signed up to join in the event.
“I started receiving donations from all kinds of people in our school community (社区),”?says Ms. Zimmerman.?“?40?”

Most of us still have lots of photographs sitting around from the days when we used cameras, not telephones, to take pictures. There are probably many photos that we do not look at and may never see again. But these images (图像), representing memories from our past, do not have to be lost.
Google has created a tool to help bring these forgotten pictures back to very high-quality life. The recently-released PhotoScan (照片扫描) app works much the same way as an image scanner. But this software program uses the camera on your phone to capture (捕捉) images as digital copies.?It?is a quick and easy way to save old photos without having to spend money on new equipment.
The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process. This makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare (刺眼的光), a common problem.
After opening the app, the user first positions the photo within the camera's frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process is complete. That's it! The app finds the edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare. From this point, the pictures can easily be saved to the Google Photos app or somewhere else.
The release of PhotoScan came at the same time as some changes to the Google Photos app. One change is it provides high-level controls for changing light and colors. It also lets users choose from 12 different looks to improve overall photo quality.
Anil Sabharwal, the Vice President of Google Photos, explained why he created PhotoScan. In 1947, his parents lived under British colonial (殖民地的) rule in India and were ordered to leave their home with only a few belongings they could carry. He said they decided to leave behind jewelry and other valuables, but gathered up as many photos as they could take.
1. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Your phone.???? ????
B. The camera.?????
C. PhotoScan.???? ????????????
D. The image scanner.
2. What problem often arises when we use phones to photograph a picture?
A. Color.?????? ?????????
B. Light.???????
C. Clearness.??????? ??
D. Realness.
3. Which of the following shows the correct order of the app's use?
①?Move the phone over each of the circles.
②?The app straightens the image.
③?Put the photo within the camera's frame.
④?The app removes glare.
⑤?The app finds the photo's edges.
A.?③①②④⑤???? ???
B.?③①⑤②④????
C.?③⑤①②④??? ?????
D.?③②①⑤④
4. Anil Sabharwal got the idea for PhotoScan _____.
A. with his parents' help
B. more than fifty years ago
C. from his family's experiences
D. under some British people's influence
5. What's the best title for the text?
A. Google puts an end to cameras
B. PhotoScan works with smart phones
C. Google Photos app makes some changes
D. New Google app brings old photos back to life
B
Most people do not have the patience to wait a few seconds for the elevator doors to shut, so they push the “close” button to speed up the process. However, some say this feature has been?obsolete?since the 1990s, suggesting the button is a complete fake (假象); it will not close the doors any faster.
Experts reveal that there're many buttons in the world that do not live up to their name, but are present to make us feel in control.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, saying that elevators must stay open long enough for someone with a physical disability, such as in a wheelchair, to make it inside. Karen W. Penafiel, executive director of National Elevator Industry Inc., told The New York Times in an interview.?“Although these buttons are useless to the average person, they do perform their proper fun_ction (功能) for firefighters and maintenance workers but only with a code or keys.”?Penafiel explains that a majority do not have a functioning “close” button but the “open” button works when it is pushed.
As strange as it seems to place fake buttons in an elevator or other devices (设备), they are there for good reasons.?“Perceived (自认为的) control is very important,”?said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at?Harvard?University.?“It reduces stress and promotes well-being.”?
And those people who know the little white lie will still continue to push these buttons because the doors finally close and that is the desired reward, he said.
However, elevators aren't the only fake devices?—?crosswalk signals in New York City are also on the list.?The New York Times?revealed in 2004 that the Big Apple pulled the plug (插头) on a majority of its crosswalk buttons long ago, as a result of computer-controlled traffic signals. City figures state that out of the 3,250 crosswalk buttons, 2,500 of them didn't fun_ction. The reason the buttons are still in place is because it costs about $1 million to remove them.
But?New York City?isn't alone in this letdown, as a survey in 2010 found only one working crosswalk button in?Austin,?Texas,?Gainesville,?Florida?and?Syracuse,?New York.
6. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Common.????? ????????????
B. Special.?????
C. Useless.?????? ?????????????
D. Attractive.
7. What do we know about the elevator “open” buttons?
A. They are functional.
B. They work with keys.
C. They're intended for the disabled.
D. They're useless to the average person.
8. Crosswalk signals were mentioned to tell us _____.
A. many people don't follow traffic rules
B. the traffic in?New York?is terrible
C. they're not necessary nowadays
D. there're other fake devices
9. Why do the non-functioning crosswalk buttons still exist in the?New York City?
A. It's expensive to take them away.
B. The cost of the plug repairs is huge.
C. They make passers-by feel in control.
D. They give people a feeling of a caring city.
10. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By explaining the reasons.
B. By giving examples.
C. By describing people's behaviors.
D. By making comparisons.

One possible version:
Dear Smith,
Thanks for inviting me to go to the cinema this Saturday.
I really appreciate it because it's such a good chance to spend some time with you. But the time is not convenient for me, because I have promised my friend that I will go to a concert with her this Saturday and we have bought the tickets ahead of time. I'm very sorry for not being able to accept your kind invitation.
Actually, I really love films. I do hope there will be another chance for us to see a film together.

The Ig Nobel Prizes praise research that makes you laugh and then think. The winners are allowed to make a one-minute speech with time kept by an eight-year-old! Every year, in Harvard’s Sanders Theatre, people watch the winners step forward to accept their prizes. These are physically handed out by real Nobel laureates (获得者). Let’s have a look at some of them.
The Empty Bladder?(膀胱)?Experiment
Four researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology found that animals above 3 kg empty their bladders in about 21 seconds. What is the purpose of this study? The researchers hope this will help solve urinary (泌尿的) problems in animals.
The Science of Eggs
A team of Australian scientists managed to get hard-boiled egg whites to become raw (生的) again. While it sounds silly, this research could have a serious influence on cancer research.
The Fascination with Animals
Charles Foster and Thomas Thwaites from the UK shared the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Biology. Thomas chose to live like a goat and wrote about his experience in “GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human”. Charles, on the other hand, spent some time in the wild, trying out the lives of many animals. He felt it gave him a chance to explore the world around us with more of our senses.
Colors & Horseflies
A team from Hungary, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland won the 2016 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics. They studied why horseflies have less interest in white-haired horses. The team used handmade horses covered in glue. They found that dark colors attracted more flies because of how sunlight reflected (反射) off them. To the?food searchers, it was a sign of food. This finding could explain the white coats of zebras too.

Louis Sachar is the author of more than 20 books that are loved by children, parents and teachers. You might recognize his name from the series of Wayside School books or Marvin Redpost books. You might also know him as the author of the Newbery Award-winning book?Holes.
As successful as Louis Sachar is at writing funny, touching books, he didn’t always know he wanted to be a writer. He remembers enjoying writing in school. In college he studied the Russian language. He spent some time as a teacher’s helper when he was in college and found he really enjoyed working with young people. Even after his experiences teaching and working with children, Sachar still hadn’t decided what career (事业) he wanted to have. After college he attended law school and got a law degree several years later. About ten years later, after writing several books, Sachar finally felt that his books were successful enough for him to write full time.
Sachar spends two hours writing each morning when he feels most fresh. He likes to be alone when he writes, except for the company (陪伴) of his two dogs. He tries to remember what it was like to be a child and to use these feelings in his books. He also uses his teaching experiences, as well as his daughter’s life.
Sachar doesn’t sit down with an organized plan when he starts a new book. Instead he starts with just a seed (萌芽) of an idea, maybe a character trait (个性特征) or a funny event. He starts writing and finds that writing produces more ideas.
Sachar doesn’t worry about perfecting his story the first time around. In fact, he may write his story five or six times before he sends it to the publisher.
24. What do we know about Sachar’s writing career?
A. He studied writing in college.
B. He wrote about young people in school.
C. He didn’t decide to be a full-time writer at first.
D. He didn’t start writing until he became a teacher.

A. His two dogs.??
B. His childhood life.???
C. Other authors’ books.???
D. His lawyer experiences.
26. Which of the following describes Sachar’s writing habit?
A. He writes with his daughter around.
B. He starts with an unclear plan.
C. He feels most fresh at night.
D. He writes all day long.
27. What might Sachar do after he finishes a book for the first time?
A. He keeps on improving it.
B. He starts writing another one.
C. He asks friends to check it for mistakes.
D. He sends it to the publisher for perfection.

Forget calling the front desk. If you’re a guest at an Affinia hotel, the staff (员工) will try to find out what you need just by looking at you.
The Affinia Hotel Collection is improving service in its five hotels in New York City and one each in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Everyone from housekeeping to management will communicate with guests based on (以……为根据) body language.
A body language expert trained employees on what cues (信号) to look for. A guest who makes eye contact while walking down the hall, for example, may be open to conversation. A businessman frequently touching an ear is probably nervous and may be interested in a therapeutic pillow (理疗枕头).
“So many companies, when they talk about service, they program?it?to how many rings till you answer the phone,” says John Moser, marketing officer for Affinia. “That doesn’t sound very reasonable. Let’s give employees some tools they can use to find out what’s the right way to talk with somebody at a particular (特定的) time.”
Patti Wood, a body language expert who carried out the Affinia training, says she has never seen such training given to all hotel employees. “All of the training is to make sure every single guest is treated as special,” she says.
Staff questions about a guest’s day won’t disappear, Moser says. But, he says, small talk isn’t always enough to get a reading of a guest’s needs. “You can’t always tell from the first sentence whether someone is happy or unhappy,” he says. “Measuring some of the things they’re showing, with the way they’re talking to you, can help our employees provide a service that’s more personal for them.”
28. What are Affinia hotels doing?
A. Understanding their employees better.
B. Setting up new hotels in different cities.
C. Improving their employees’ body language.
D. Training employees to understand guests’ needs better.
29. What should a hotel employee do if a guest looks into his or her eye?
A. Offer a pillow.
B. Make small talk.
C. Avoid speaking to the guest.
D. Be open to the guest’s suggestions.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The company.??????????
B. The service.
C. The phone.??????????????
D. The hotel.
31. What does Patti Wood think of Affinia’s training?
A. It is completely new.
B. It makes employees feel special.
C. It will take the place of staff questions.
D. It is following some other companies’ example.

In a world full of free information, some young people are still willing (愿意的) to pay for news they read.
?? ? A recent study shows that 40 percent of U.S. adults aged 18-34 pay for at least some of the news they read, whether it’s a printed newspaper or a digital (数码的) news app. Another 13 percent don’t pay themselves but depend on someone else’s subscription (订购), according to the Media Insight Project. Older ones are more likely than younger ones to personally pay for news.
?? ? “Forty percent is a strong number, but that means many people are still not willing to pay,” said Professor Keith Herndon. “We have to think of ways of making the news attractive enough so that someone would be willing to pay for it.”
?? ? The increasing amount of free news online and new ways for advertisers to reach more people has worried publishers of newspapers and magazines. Newspapers’ print ad revenue (收入) has dropped 63 percent, to $16.4 billion, in 2014 from 2003, according to Pew Research Center. Daily paid newspaper circulation (发行量) reached its highest point in 1984, at 63.3 million, according to an industry group. That was a quarter of the country’s population. Daily paid newspaper circulation has now dropped to 40.4 million, even as the U.S. population has grown by about a third.
?? ? There have been efforts to make the best use of digital ads. Digital ad revenue from newspaper websites has more than doubled as print ad revenue dropped, but still come to only $3.5 billion. And in recent years some major news organizations have begun charging for entering their websites and selling digital-only subscriptions, rather than posting news for free online. For example,?The New York Times?lets non-subscribers read a certain number of articles per month before they have to pay.
32. What has the Media Insight Project found out?
A. Half of U.S. adults pay for news they read.
B. Some U.S. adults share paid news with others.
C. 13 percent of U.S. adults subscribe to online news.
D. Older adults spend less money on news than younger ones.
33. What’s Keith Herndon’s suggestion?
A. Providing good articles.
B. Making attractive ads.
C. Offering different reading choices.
D. Employing experienced reporters.
34. What happened in 1984 in the U.S.?
A. Publishers searched for new ways to show ads.
B. The U.S. population experienced rapid growth.
C. 25 percent of Americans paid for reading news.
D. Newspapers’ print ad revenue reached its highest point.
35. What can be learned about?The New York Times?
A. Its online articles are all free.
B. It doesn’t provide printed newspapers.
C. It is charging for full entry into its website.
D. Its main revenue has always been from ads.

Water plays an important part in the winners of this year’s Children’s Africana Book Awards. In?“Gizo-Gizo!”?by Emily Williamson, a spider pollutes it. In?“The Storyteller”?by Evan Turk, a boy uses it to defeat (打败) a powerful desert spirit.
The two books also explore the African art of storytelling, said Brenda Randolph. Randolph founded the awards many years ago to help kids learn more about Africa through books. “There is a strong storytelling tradition in Africa,” she said in an interview.
At the Hassaniyya Quaranic School in the city of Cape Coast, Williamson and her students wanted to write a book about pollution. “Gizo-Gizo!” is about a spider that throws unwanted things and chemicals into a lake that is shared by many animals. One day, he eats the lake’s sick fish and becomes sick himself. Then the spider decides to clean up his mess. The book owes (归功于) much to the?“students’ memories of listening to their grandparents telling them stories and to their everyday experiences and imaginations,”?said Williamson.
Turk wanted to create a book about the power of stories after he visited Morocco in 2012. On his trip, he learned that the storytelling tradition was disappearing. In “The Storyteller,” a thirsty boy receives a cup. It fills with water whenever he listens to an old man’s stories. When a spirit, from the nearby desert stirs up (引起) a sandstorm, the boy just retells the stories and waits.?They?have the water-generating (产生水的) power to push back the spirit!
While doing research for the book, Turk traveled to Morocco several times. He interviewed elderly storytellers there. On his most recent research trip, Turk met with some young Moroccans. They are learning from great storytellers and want to “keep the art form alive,” Turk said. He interviewed them and watched them tell stories. “I was so excited,” Turk said. These new storytellers will carry this powerful tradition into the future.
1. What similarity do the two books share?
A. They both show the value of traditional storytelling.
B. They both tell children to believe in themselves.
C. They both talk about surviving natural disasters.
D. They both focus on environmental protection.
2. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. As a child, I looked forward all year to dressing up and going trick-or-treating. I still love putting on costumes (?节日服装) and cutting pumpkins (南瓜). However, with childhood obesity (肥胖) on the rise, many parents nowadays want to limit added sugars in their children’s diets.
I spoke to dozens of parents about how they deal with Halloween candy. Some parents avoid taking their kids trick-or-treating and take them swimming or doing other sports instead. Their kids haven’t complained. And then there are parents who take their kids trick-or-treating and maybe let them have a couple of pieces of candy that evening. Once the kids are in bed, the parents change the candy for a toy.?
A Pennsylvania State University study shows, however, that girls who have treats on a regular basis eat less of these foods when they are offered them and are likely to have a better body shape. Another study from the Netherlands compared the eating behaviors of children who were told they couldn’t have sweets or were allowed to eat what they wanted. The restricted (受限制的) groups wanted more of the foods they weren’t allowed to have and ate more on the whole.
As a food expert, I tell parents to see Halloween as a learning opportunity. Sweets and other treats are part of life, and keeping kids from less healthy foods doesn’t teach them how to manage them and control their eating as adults. It’s fine for kids to have a few pieces of candy a day, for example, as dessert (饭后甜点) after a meal. One way to do this is to have a piece of candy with lunch. This encourages mindful eating rather than distracted eating in front of the TV. Eating small amounts of treats should help kids learn to enjoy them more so they’re satisfied.
5. How did the author experience Halloween differently from today’s kids?
A. She missed some activities because of obesity.
B. She was forced to do some sports.
C. She enjoyed herself heartily.
D. She preferred toys to candy.
6. What is some kids’ reaction to their absence from trick-or-treat?
A. They say it’s unfair.
B. They are OK with it.
C. They show their anger.
D. They consider it encouraging.
7. What can be learned from the Netherlands study?
A. Girls are less attracted to sweets.
B. Eating habits are formed from childhood.
C. Eating some candy can be helpful for kids.
D. Keeping foods from kids doesn’t teach self-control.
8. What does the author suggest about sweets?
A. Avoiding them as much as possible.
B. Enjoying them with the family.
C. Sharing them with friends.
D. Having some with meals.

Dear Johnson,
Thanks for your inviting me to your lecture about American customs, which I would be happy to attend.
Interested as I am in American customs, I know only a little about them, so I think your lecture will surely help me have a better understanding of American culture. Besides, I wonder if I might be able to take some of my friends with me. They are also eager to learn more about American customs. I would appreciate it if you could give me your reply at your earliest convenience.
Looking forward to listening to your lecture.
