The impatient children?couldn’t wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance.

The next day the children were as?rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said, “Take the money back to the good?gentleman at once, for it must have got into the loaf?by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick!”
But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s?message, he said, “No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver pieces into the smallest loaf to?reward you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home and the money is yours now.”

My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classroom, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Then when I was 41 years old, one day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
28. Why did the author want to hide?
A. Because he felt sorry for himself. B. Because he hated being laughed at.
C. Because he couldn’t read at all. D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.
29. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?
A. Considerate and dutiful. B. Demanding and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Friendly and ambitious.
30. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech?
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.
31. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mr. Creech taught two Anthony Hamiltons.
B. Dyslexia made the author unable to read.
C. The author had become an active speaker.
D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.
In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).
Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates.
C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants.
33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?
A. To change compositions of plants. B. To detect plants’ lack of water.
C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants.
34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?
A. They will speed up energy production.
B. They may transmit electricity to the home.
C. They might help reduce energy consumption.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Could glowing plants replace lamps?
B. How do we live with glowing plants?
C. Can we grow more glowing plants?
D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?

W: Everyone is talking about iPhone4S, but not all of the talks are good. Here we have some bad ones. Mike?
M: Yes. And four million people rushed into stores at the weekend when Apple iPhone4S launched. But more than a fifth of iPhone users regret buying their hi-tech cell phone. Forty-three cent of disappointed users said before they were familiar with their iPhone4S, the other smart phone makers had rushed out phones with bigger screens and faster processors. The second-most reason for users’ disappointment was the battery life, with 25 percent saying they felt disappointed about it. Others—eight percent of the total—were not satisfied with the email on iPhone4S.
W: The research was done among 1,694 people over 18 years old and on the net. Not all of them owned iPhones. The complained people are much more than those who are satisfied. The website, which conducted the survey, said, “Smartphone envy is something that many phone owners experience, but few will admit to, because everybody wants to believe that they own the ‘best’ phone on the market.” We were really surprised that so many people admitted to regretting their iPhone purchase, because they are regarded by many as the best phones available.
