As an elementary school student in New York City, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at
his classmates throwing about half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His Korean immigrant parents
had taught him and his older brother not to waste food.
While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this
lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a
week, leftovers from the dinning hall to nearby homeless shelters.
When Robert and fellow club member Lousia entered a college entrepreneurship (创业)
contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: They would
gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup, would operate seven days a
week, and would be staffed entirely by volunteers.
Their idea won the competition. With the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover
Cuisine(RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert抯 team delivered a donation of
enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter
that had run out of food.
Robert, Who had taken job as an analyst at J.P.Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a
network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted volunteers to
make food deliveries to homeless shelters. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250, 000
pounds of food in 12 cities around the country.
Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. 揑
compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just
huge, he says. He抯 now the group抯 only full-time employee.
揙ne shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for
more than 300 people, three nights a week, Robert says. 揟hings like that make me glad I quit
my job.”

When we were kids, my uncle used to take my cousins and me on trips to Racetrack Playa.
Scientists know the flat, dry lake bed in California抯 Death Valley National Park for one strange
phenomenon:its slithering stones. Since the late 1940s, they抳e been studying how sizable stones
across the land---some as big as mini fridges--seemingly move thousands of feet on their own.
There were some seemingly reasonable or absurd theories, but no one had ever seen the rocks in
action. Death Valley, as its name implies, is unwelcoming. Put aside that it抯 one of the hottest
places on Earth, but it抯 also hit by severe winter storms. No one wanted to sit around and watch.
But in 2011, my cousin Jim, an engineer, came to me with an idea. He suggested setting up
cameras near the stones and letting the equipment gather data. The National Park Service said
we couldn抰 leave a trace(痕迹), so we drilled into our own stores, fixed GPS trackers, and
placed them, along with cameras, near the rocks. For years, nothing moved. Then in 2013, we
got lucky.
We’d driven eight hours to the park to change the batteries in the GPS, just as we did every
few months. This time, though, we discovered there’d been a huge snowstorm. The lake bed was
full of water and it was freezing fast. As we walked around in the moonlight, the whole lake was
hissing(嘶嘶)--the sound of ice freezing. But by the next morning, the sun was shinning, and
everything was melting. As the thin sheets of ice started to move quickly across the melting
water, to our astonishment, they pushed the rocks with them.
It was a historic moment. Previous theories had gotten close, but we were the first people to
directly observe it. And no wonder: It all happened so fast. If you got too involved in your lunch,
it抎 be over. Fortunately, we were quick to notice, and our GPS trackers recorded a ton of
high-quality supporting evidence.
8.What does the underlined word “slithering” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.sailing
B.decreasing
C.expanding
D.disappearing
9.Why Racetrack Playa is called Death Valley?
A.Because many people died there.
B.Because it used to be a battlefield.
C.Because it is not open to the public.
D.Because it is known for its extreme weather.
10.What was the fun_ction of melting ice during this strange scene?
A.It froze the rocks.
B.It kept the rocks in shape.
C.It melted the rocks.
D.It carried the rocks along.
11.What can be used to describe the cousins’ feeling while witnessing the historic moment?
A.Union is strength.
B.Hard work pays off.
C.Seeing is believing.
D.It’s never too old to learn.

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one
of China抯 cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has
also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people抯 health and promoting
social progress.
There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better,
and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two
different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as
surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery
and treatment of chronic(慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese
hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been
accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society.
The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of
TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal
attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is
the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet
technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic
medical records and prescriptions (处方) . The third is to give better play to the advantages of
TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy(推拿). The fun_ction of TCM in disease
prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.
As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and
innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in
China and the world.
12.What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM?
A.It is a symbol of national civilization.
B.It is more effective in surgery.
C.It is more successful in recovery after surgery.
D.It is more effective in treating chronic diseases.
13.What is the characteristic of the Chinese healthcare development model?
A.It stresses the importance of Western medicine.
B.It attaches equal attention to TCM and Western medicine.
C.It has been established by the Chinese government.
D.It pays equal attention to developing and innovating TCM.
14.According to paragraph 4, which of the following aspects is not included in the Chinese
government supports for TCM?
A.It makes better use of the advantages of TCM.
B.It combines Internet Technology with TCM.
C.It calls on the public to support TCM.
D.It increases TCM services in hospitals and medical centers.
15.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.TCM Breaks New Ground.
B.Chinese Government Promotes TCM.
C.TCM is One of China’s Cultural Symbols.
D.TCM Beats Western Medicine.

Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence.
However, setting goals doesn't come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process
should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”.Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer,
but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 16
Listen to your child. 17 Don't always tell him what you think. Let him talk about what
he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he's stuck, you can provide
some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child. When a goal is beyond
his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces. For example, suppose your child wants to
be a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet. 18
19 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. 20
Then, ask him to write his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级).He's climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
A.Make a visual goal reminder.
B.Change goals every so often.
C.A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper.
D.Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.
E.Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
F.Then you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
G.You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a hot day I was playing with the kids next door, and I found out that in other people’s
house older kids had later bedtimes. I was five years old, and my sister Lisa was two years
younger.
I went to my mother with my new-found information, and I advocated for policy change. I
was turned down.
This big-sister thing was not so great as it was regarded. Every time we did something that
we’re not supposed to do, I got in more trouble. Everybody’s always paying attention to my
younger sister--she’s little, she’s cute. And we had to go to bed at the same time. I’d had
enough!
So I went to my room, and I took my white sleepover suitcase, and I put it on the bed, and I
started to pack. Into the suitcase went my favourite books : Nancy Drew and Amelia Bedelia,
and some Barbies, and by the time I was done, there was no room left for clothes.
But I was leaving forever, so I knew I would need some clothes. And I put on two pairs of
underwear first, because you got to change, right? Pair of pants, pair of shorts, a T-shirt, a coat,
and my favourite raincoat. And I went downstairs. My mother was in the kitchen. She looked up
and asked if I was running away. I told her yes.
She’s not nearly as upset by this as I felt she should be.
She went on, “Are you going to Grandma Sylvia’s ?”, which was the only other place I
knew. It’s not even a mile away. I couldn’t believe she could figure this out. How come she
knew everything!
I didn’t answer her. I went out the front door and down the driveway. Now, remember, it’s
the 1970s, and they had not yet invented suitcases with wheels, and mine’s full of books. So
with every step, I was dragging my suitcase. With every step, I was sweating and dragging and
sweating and dragging.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;

Hello, everyone!
I’m glad to stand here to share with you my ideas about reading habits after school.
In my eyes, good reading habits after class can keep us motivated, protect us from getting bored and help us improve ourselves day by day. Here are some suggestions on how to form a good reading habit.
First of all, you should avoid being distracted by keeping away from your mobile phone while reading. And then, taking some notes will be beneficial to you for it can be used for later reference. In addition, you are supposed to associate what you read with your life, which makes you have a better understanding.
I hope I can be of some help. Thank you.

Paragraph 1: I was so focused that I didn’t realize my mother was 20 yards behind me. When finally stepping into Grandma’s house, I was exhausted. But before I started my complaint, Mother swept in. Feeling incredibly hot and angry, I started to cry. Mother came over and took me into her arms. “Sweetheart, what is it? Why have you left?” And it all came tumbling out: “It’s not fair and all the time with Lisa I get into trouble and she doesn’t...and we should not have the same bedtime!”
Paragraph 2: My mother took my hot, red little face in her hands. And she said to me, “Sweetheart, I don’t want you to be so miserable. ” She continued, “You came first. If it’s that hard for you living with Lisa, tomorrow I’ll call the orphanage, and we’ll send her away.” I knew what orphanage was. Crying harder, I begged her ,“Don’t send my sister to an orphanage!” My mother reluctantly agreed that we’ll both go home and gave it another try. That night my mother put us to bed at the same time, as she would for many times to come.
