Chinatown around the USA
Chinatown in San Francisco

Chinatown in New York City
It is second only to that of San Francisco. There are so many people selling everything from food to herbs and spices that it is an excellent place to learn how to bargain. You will find the authentic（地道的）Chinese cooking at the city's first Chinese restaurant.
Chinatown in Los Angeles

The Right Thing "Hi，Ms，Grady，"said Mark when their neighbor opened her door．"Would you like us to shovel your sidewalk and driveway？"Shoveling was Jamie's idea，a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day．
Ms．Grady was happy，"That would be wonderful，boys．I think the job is getting to be too much for me．"
"It will cost 10 dollars，"Jamie said．"If that's OK"，Mark added．
“Oh dear，”Ms．Grady said disappointedly，"I haven't been able to get to the bank．I can offer homemade cookies，but I realize that's not what you had in mind．"
Mark was going to say that Ms．Grady could pay them another time，but Jamie cut him off．"We'll come back later."
Ms．Grady doesn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn's collie，Goldie had just wanted to play，but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs．He wanted to call for help，but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth．Then Ms．Grady‘s front door had flown open．She must have seen him from across the street．"Hold on，Mark．I'm coming!""Goldie" she'd called．As soon as Goldie had turned her head，Ms．Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog．She wasn't much taller than Mark，but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him．"Goldie，go home!"Then she'd swept her broom to hurry the dog
along．"Get!"Goldie had obeyed．
When Mark showed thanks to Ms．Grady，Ms．Grady laughed．"It was nothing．Good neighbors watch out for each other，don't they？"
And now Ms．Grady needed Mark as much as he'd needed her last summer．He smiled and waved at Ms．Grady，then his shovel deep into the snow．
"Hey!"Jamie shouted．"What are you doing？"Mark couldn't explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors．"I like Ms．Grady's cookies，"he said．

C. she thought it was worthless D. she couldn't afford it
According to the story，which of the following word can not be used to describe Ms．Grady？ ______
A. Positive B. Helpful C. Brave D. Hopeful
Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story？ ______
A. A penny saved is a penny earned
B. Kindness is repaid with kindness

D. Actions speak louder than work．
C
Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Fit Desk Bike Desk is Troy University, which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three years, the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.
The idea of pushing "active workplaces" is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill（跑步机）meetings, companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their desks-benefits that include higher morale （士气）and improved work performance. And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.
Chris Shaffer, who is the director of library services at Troy University, says he thought it would be worth experimenting with the machines. "The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place that our students want to visit"， says Shaffer, "If we can find a way to let our students study and become healthier at the same time, then I am all for it. " He says the experiment is so successful so far that the university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.
Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library. "Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible, " he says, "These offer a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more." Senior Raven hasn't used the Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they'd been fixed sooner. "I remember being a junior and the gym is so crowded, with the smell of sweat, loud music and people moving around," Raven says, "I think the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study.
What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______
A. University students are doing more exercise now.
B. Doing homework is easy for university students now.
C. Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.
D. Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.
What is the second paragraph mainly about？ ______
A. The types of exercise at workplaces.
B. The explanation of work performance.
C. The development of active workplaces.
D. The benefits of exercising during work and study.
What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer？ ______
A. To make the library attractive to students.
B. To make students become healthier.
C. To help students to get good grades.
D. To do experiments on the machines.
What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes？ ______
A. They are easy to ride. B. They are really useful.
C. They make the library noisy. D. They distract students.
D
????In the mid-2000s, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge (尖端的) gift from his girlfriend: a GPS. The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box, it was already out of date.
????Shabtai, a coding enthusiast, had an immediate reaction to reinvent. Shabtai's solution? To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly 400，000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors (editing maps rather than words), Waze Mobile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approach to navigation (导航).
????Acquired by Google in 2013, Waze's value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement. Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions, Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time, so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.
????The goal behind Waze's approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic, but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base to use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make carpooling (拼车) cool.
????To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has been quietly ahead of the game for some time. In 2013, when Waze was just a small digital-mapping business with limited resources, it had something Google Maps and other competitors didn't: richer GPS guidance thanks to its stream of live traffic reports from users.
????These users were the basis of Shabtai's plan to solve for his GPS device's "silent" hardware: he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users, anywhere and anytime.
????Waze Carpool is going straight to the heart of traffic jams, trying to get more drivers off the road and into carpools. The app has already connected tens of thousands of rideseekers with drivers willing to ferry them along a shared route, and that trend could be the answer to a traffic-free future.
What did Shabtai do when he found his girlfriend's gift out of date?
A. He improved it. B. He took it apart.
C. He put it away. D. He used it anyway.
What sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?
A. It has the most users.
B. It can indicate directions.
C. It reports road conditions in real time.
D. Most users help edit its words.
What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Difficulty． B. Carefully. C. Greatly. D. Constantly.
What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. The rise of carpooling．
B. An advanced navigation app.
C. The development of Google.
D. Traffic problems in the world.

??? ? Read it; hear it; be it!

?? ?How often do you read?
??? If you read frequently, you'll likely have an easier time with remembering what you're reading ( and what you've read).??30?? As you make reading a regular part of your life, you'll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You'll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!

【附：答案解析】
1. 考查介词和固定短语。句意：中国已经采取措施来应对反复出现的食品安全问题，但要摆脱这些问题还有很长的路要走。fight against“与……做斗争”；rid... of“使……摆脱”。所以C符合题意，故选C。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的算盘，在第八届联合国教科文组织世界遗产大会上被正式列为一项文化遗产，这是中国人民智慧的另一个标志。本句已有谓语，list和主语The Chinese abacus之间是被动关系，应使用过去分词形式表被动，故排除AD；C选项虽然也是被动形式，但是现在完成时的被动式，强调动作list先于主句谓语动词发生，而中国算盘不管是否列为文化遗产，都是中国人智慧的象征。综上分析，故选B。
3. 句意：阳光投射在地面上的阴影是白色的，令人目眩。the sunlight为throw的动作执行者，两者为主动关系，且表示throw的动作正在进行，故用现在分词在句中作定语，故选B。
4. C.句意：我们在这里几乎看不到雪，因为大部分雪似乎已经被风从山上刮走了。seem后跟不定式作表语，如果不定式的动作是发生在seem之前的被动动作，应该用完成时的被动式。
5. 考查定语从句。句中先行词为a gold watch，在从句中作the hands of的宾语，也可以用whose hands。句意：我们英语老师戴着一块金表，其指针是由小钻石组成的。故C正确。
6. 由结构可知第一个空是分词做后置定语，动词play和被修饰词music 是被动关系，应该用过去分词；而sound后指音乐的特点，所以用exciting（令人兴奋的），选D。句意:他演奏的电影音乐听起来如此令人兴奋。
7. 本题既要考虑句意，还要兼顾省略形式，表示“我当时原本是要来的”。
8. 思路分析:该题的考点是让步状语从句。difficult是形容词，故应该用however来修饰。也可用no matter how替代however。
9. 考查定语从句。此题用which引导的非限定性定语从句，which指代的前面的一件事。
句意：保罗跌倒并摔坏了他的手腕，真是一件遗憾的事情。故A正确。
10. 考查代词。neither两者中任何一个都不，either两者中的任何一个，both两者都，none三者或三者以上都不。句意：——你看见彼得和麦克了吗?——没有，他们两个我一个也没看见。故A正确。

And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.（推行"积极工作场所"的想法远非新鲜事。从办公室到跑步机会议，公司一直在探索让员工从办公桌上站起来的好处，其中包括提高士气和提高工作绩效。最近一项针对年幼儿童的研究表明：体育活动和好成绩之间有很强的联系）可知，本段介绍锻炼和学习以及工作的好处，故选D．

1.?根据下句You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images (形象) may fly right out of your head.可知，你可能已经阅读了文本，但思想、概念和图象可能会从你的脑中飞出。由此可知，记忆其实也是有技巧的，并且能引出下句Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.来介绍记忆的诀窍。故选D。

The Right Thing "Hi，Ms，Grady，"said Mark when their neighbor opened her door．"Would you like us to shovel your sidewalk and driveway？"Shoveling was Jamie's idea，a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day．
Ms．Grady was happy，"That would be wonderful，boys．I think the job is getting to be too much for me．"
"It will cost 10 dollars，"Jamie said．"If that's OK"，Mark added．
“Oh dear，”Ms．Grady said disappointedly，"I haven't been able to get to the bank．I can offer homemade cookies，but I realize that's not what you had in mind．"
Mark was going to say that Ms．Grady could pay them another time，but Jamie cut him off．"We'll come back later."
Ms．Grady doesn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn's collie，Goldie had just wanted to play，but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs．He wanted to call for help，but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth．Then Ms．Grady‘s front door had flown open．She must have seen him from across the street．"Hold on，Mark．I'm coming!""Goldie" she'd called．As soon as Goldie had turned her head，Ms．Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog．She wasn't much taller than Mark，but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him．"Goldie，go home!"Then she'd swept her broom to hurry the dog
along．"Get!"Goldie had obeyed．
When Mark showed thanks to Ms．Grady，Ms．Grady laughed．"It was nothing．Good neighbors watch out for each other，don't they？"
And now Ms．Grady needed Mark as much as he'd needed her last summer．He smiled and waved at Ms．Grady，then his shovel deep into the snow．
"Hey!"Jamie shouted．"What are you doing？"Mark couldn't explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors．"I like Ms．Grady's cookies，"he said．

Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Fit Desk Bike Desk is Troy University, which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three years, the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.
The idea of pushing "active workplaces" is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill（跑步机）meetings, companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their desks-benefits that include higher morale （士气）and improved work performance. And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.
Chris Shaffer, who is the director of library services at Troy University, says he thought it would be worth experimenting with the machines. "The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place that our students want to visit"， says Shaffer, "If we can find a way to let our students study and become healthier at the same time, then I am all for it. " He says the experiment is so successful so far that the university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.
Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library. "Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible, " he says, "These offer a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more." Senior Raven hasn't used the Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they'd been fixed sooner. "I remember being a junior and the gym is so crowded, with the smell of sweat, loud music and people moving around," Raven says, "I think the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study.
What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______
A. University students are doing more exercise now.
B. Doing homework is easy for university students now.
C. Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.
D. Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.
What is the second paragraph mainly about？ ______
A. The types of exercise at workplaces.
B. The explanation of work performance.
C. The development of active workplaces.
D. The benefits of exercising during work and study.
What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer？ ______
A. To make the library attractive to students.
B. To make students become healthier.
C. To help students to get good grades.
D. To do experiments on the machines.
What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes？ ______
A. They are easy to ride. B. They are really useful.
C. They make the library noisy. D. They distract students.

????In the mid-2000s, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge (尖端的) gift from his girlfriend: a GPS. The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box, it was already out of date.
????Shabtai, a coding enthusiast, had an immediate reaction to reinvent. Shabtai's solution? To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly 400，000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors (editing maps rather than words), Waze Mobile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approach to navigation (导航).
????Acquired by Google in 2013, Waze's value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement. Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions, Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time, so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.
????The goal behind Waze's approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic, but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base to use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make carpooling (拼车) cool.
????To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has been quietly ahead of the game for some time. In 2013, when Waze was just a small digital-mapping business with limited resources, it had something Google Maps and other competitors didn't: richer GPS guidance thanks to its stream of live traffic reports from users.
????These users were the basis of Shabtai's plan to solve for his GPS device's "silent" hardware: he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users, anywhere and anytime.
????Waze Carpool is going straight to the heart of traffic jams, trying to get more drivers off the road and into carpools. The app has already connected tens of thousands of rideseekers with drivers willing to ferry them along a shared route, and that trend could be the answer to a traffic-free future.
What did Shabtai do when he found his girlfriend's gift out of date?
A. He improved it. B. He took it apart.
C. He put it away. D. He used it anyway.
What sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?
A. It has the most users.
B. It can indicate directions.
C. It reports road conditions in real time.
D. Most users help edit its words.
What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Difficulty． B. Carefully. C. Greatly. D. Constantly.
What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. The rise of carpooling．
B. An advanced navigation app.
C. The development of Google.
D. Traffic problems in the world.

2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的算盘，在第八届联合国教科文组织世界遗产大会上被正式列为一项文化遗产，这是中国人民智慧的另一个标志。本句已有谓语，list和主语The Chinese abacus之间是被动关系，应使用过去分词形式表被动，故排除AD；C选项虽然也是被动形式，但是现在完成时的被动式，强调动作list先于主句谓语动词发生，而中国算盘不管是否列为文化遗产，都是中国人智慧的象征。综上分析，故选B。
3. 句意：阳光投射在地面上的阴影是白色的，令人目眩。the sunlight为throw的动作执行者，两者为主动关系，且表示throw的动作正在进行，故用现在分词在句中作定语，故选B。
4. C.句意：我们在这里几乎看不到雪，因为大部分雪似乎已经被风从山上刮走了。seem后跟不定式作表语，如果不定式的动作是发生在seem之前的被动动作，应该用完成时的被动式。
5. 考查定语从句。句中先行词为a gold watch，在从句中作the hands of的宾语，也可以用whose hands。句意：我们英语老师戴着一块金表，其指针是由小钻石组成的。故C正确。
6. 由结构可知第一个空是分词做后置定语，动词play和被修饰词music 是被动关系，应该用过去分词；而sound后指音乐的特点，所以用exciting（令人兴奋的），选D。句意:他演奏的电影音乐听起来如此令人兴奋。
7. 本题既要考虑句意，还要兼顾省略形式，表示“我当时原本是要来的”。
8. 思路分析:该题的考点是让步状语从句。difficult是形容词，故应该用however来修饰。也可用no matter how替代however。
9. 考查定语从句。此题用which引导的非限定性定语从句，which指代的前面的一件事。
句意：保罗跌倒并摔坏了他的手腕，真是一件遗憾的事情。故A正确。
10. 考查代词。neither两者中任何一个都不，either两者中的任何一个，both两者都，none三者或三者以上都不。句意：——你看见彼得和麦克了吗?——没有，他们两个我一个也没看见。故A正确。
