When the coach started pitching, hitting became 2 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at 3 . My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 4 playing softball.
The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 5 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 6 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine and just 7 to avoid softball.

I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn’t make a 13 . Every week after that, I practiced at home 14 I got to be one of the best hitters on the team.

You don’t need to get in a time-travelling machine to see how technology will change our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already appear. Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on, virtually (虚拟地). Want to shop online for a new pair of glasses? You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of glasses you’re checking out on a picture of your face. But what about buying something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s action tracking (跟踪) camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to improve your shopping experience.
Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone’s body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan (扫描) your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.
High-tech shopping carts (推车) and checkout counters (收银台). High-tech shopping carts could be common in malls and supermarkets in the future. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled only by your movement and your voice.
In the United States, several supermarkets use a certain set called “Scan It” that gives buyers the freedom to scan products on their own while they shop. If we don’t want to wait in line before the checkout counters, we can use Toshiba’s new object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies (辨认) a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.
19. According to Paragraph 2, the eBay Fashion iPhone app can ______.
A. only make pictures of our faces B. help us sell more clothes online
C. create us a virtual dressing room D. choose suitable glasses for us
20. Which of the following can help get the correct shape of our body?
A. Object Recognition Scanner. B. The eBay Fashion iPhone app.
C. 3D scanning technology. D. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts.
21. What can we infer from this passage?
A. Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future.
B. High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets.
C. “Scan It” cannot be used by buyers themselves.
D. The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.
515302518986522. This passage mainly talks about ______.
A. a new time-travelling machine B. the influence of new technology
C. some inventions to change habits D. the ways for future shopping

(an extract from Probuditi!)
Calvin waited outside Trudy’s bedroom. Then it happened—a scream, a very loud scream. Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.
He heard Mama coming down the hall.
“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider.
“Do what?” he asked.
“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.
“Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).
“You do want your present, don’t you?” That wiped the smile off Calvin’s face.
“Course I do,” he said.
“Then you apologize.”
Calvin dropped his head. “Sorry Trudy,” he muttered (嘟囔).
“Here,” Mama said. “Happy birthday.” At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the matinee show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist. “You’ve got two tickets there,” Mama said, “and I know someone who’d really love to go along.” She smiled at Trudy.
“You don’t mean here, do you?” Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.
“Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody—” Calvin didn’t wait for his mother to finish. He rushed out of the house to cell Rodney, his pal next door, that the two of them were going to see Lomax the Magnificent.

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors (感应器) all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems (卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is to type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while ‘driving’ would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people — they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical (道德的) decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun –I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made –should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car – but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
27. When using a driverless car, you only need to ________.
A. read the road signs carefully B. check the cameras
C. put the address into the computer D. remember the directions
28. The third paragraph mainly tells us about the ________ of driverless cars.
A. instructions B. standards C. advantages D. tests
29. The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “________” .
A. possibly B. successfully C. especially D. naturally
30. What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?
A. They’ll cause more accidents. B. They’ll be less expensive.
C. They’ll use less energy. D. They’ll run much faster.

When I was in the 36 (九) grade, luckily, I was chosen to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But 37 (一旦) on the stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher asked me to change my role to be a narrator (解说者) for the play.
38 (尽管) I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she noticed my unhappiness. She asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see several dandelions 39 (在…中间) the grass. I watched my mother bend down by one of the dandelions . “I think I’ll dig up all these weeds (野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll only have roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I disagreed. “All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!”
My mother looked 40 (严肃地) at me. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its 41 (自己的) way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added.
When I 42 (意识到) that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the 43 (真相). “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.
Thanks to my mother’s encouragement, I got to know everybody had his or her 44 (价值) in the world. I felt 45 (骄傲的) of the role in the play.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容填空,每空不超过三个词。
Be a friend of yourself
You often focus on building relationships with others, but you forget the first step: being a friend of yourself. How can you have good relationships with others if you don’t even have a good relationship with yourself ? Here are some tips for you to be a friend of yourself.
Forgive yourself. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.
Accept things you can’t change. There are some things you cannot change, such as your background and your past. So learn to accept them, smile and move on.
Write your success stories. One reason we may not like ourselves is that we are too focused on what we don’t have and forget about what we have. So write your success stories. They do not have to be big things; there are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.
Stop comparing yourself with others. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. So it’s useless to compare yourself with others.
Always be true to yourself. You don’t like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won’t like yourself if you know that you lie to yourself. So it’s important to always be true to yourself. Be honest!
56. Everyone makes mistakes,so it’s very important _________yourself.
57. Learn to accept some things you can’t change, like your _________ and your past, smile and move on.
58. Write your success ________which do not have to be big things.
