Ali is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes every day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says, “I tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible. My parents smoke. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke. Here in the United States, not as many people smoke.   36  ”

    Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking.   37  They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine. People who smoke a lot need nicotine.

 38  The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days, the smoker’s body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad.

 39  Many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke “just one” cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again.   40      

A. It is very hard to quit smoking.

B. Thus nicotine makes smokers addicted to cigarettes.

C. It will be easier to change the smoking habit here.  

D. But it is said that medicine is needed to stop them from smoking.

E. When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible.

F. Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.

G. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health.

        Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 36  .  The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 37  . Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.

        First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 38   .   

       In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 39   .                         

       Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 40   .  Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

    A. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.

    B. Some children are good at managing their pocket money.

    C. Because helping at home is a normal part of family life.

    D. By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.

    E. Learning how to make money is very important for every child.

    F. They can save it for future use.

    G. Timing is another consideration.

    Want to make a serious change in your health?  16  It might sound extreme because this diet excludes any foods that come from animals like dairy and meat products and all foods that are cooked at temperatures above 46 degrees Celsius. Essentially, the raw vegan diet focuses on raw plants,and there are good reasons why it’s quite popular these days.

   Raw foodists believe that cooking food destroys important micronutrients(微量营养物）.  17 A raw piece of broccoli(西兰花）is much healthier than a carrot that has been fried or boiled at a high temperature. Raw foodists believe that cooking food at high temperatures causes the addiction of harmful chemicals, such as carcinogens that can cause cancer. 18   Meat can be high in fat, usually contains chemicals and hormones, can be hard to digest, and so on. One raw foodist from New York City says that changing to a raw vegan diet has made a huge difference in his health, “I feel better, I don’t get sick as much , and I have a lot more energy.”

Another reason to raw vegan is for the environment. 19  Meat production has been a huge problem for the environment, too. It is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions, along with cars and air conditioning. 20  Users talk about how they feel close to the Earth when consuming only raw materials. There is one health drawback to the diet, which is that it does not provide enough vitamin B12, calcium, and so on . This is easily remedied with diet supplements, though. The raw vegan diet may be the healthy choice of the future.

A.Health concerns that come with eating meat are commonly known.

B.Maybe it’s time to think about the raw vegan(素食）diet.

C.Then there is the spiritual side to the diet.

D.They can nourish (滋养）people and prevent illnesses.

E.Cooking usually uses fossil fuels and creates pollution.

F.However ,it appears to depend on the type of meat eaten, as well as the cooking method.

G.Some may not be accustomed to the raw vegan diet.

Parents are often scared to talk to their kids about money. In fact kids need to understand how to save and manage their money. Proper preparation of your children, even at a young age, can start them down the path of a successful financial life.  36．

Talk early and often

Children start learning about money long before their first savings account, job or credit card.   37．   Avoiding the subject until your child needs a bank account can make the conversation hasty (草率的) and confusing.

38．    

A trip to the grocery story is a good time to explain price comparison, value and inflation. An ATM stop offers a chance to explain that money doesn't actually come from a machine. You can discuss both earned income, investment returns and even inheritance. Opening bills is a chance to talk about payment for services,, credit card debt and interest rates. Children need to be taught about debt, specifically loans and credit cards.

Talk about giving.

Children should learn that money doesn't always need to be used for them.    Don't just write the charitable check. Get -the kids involved in the process by asking them to pick and check, charities.

Websites like http:// www. charitynavigator. org and guidestar. org provide information and ratings.

I am Henry Jekyll. I was born in the 1800s. I inherited(继承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.

    “Was it possible,” I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”

    After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.

Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.

I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind—the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, lighter, more carefree than ever before. “If this is pure evil,” I thought, “I like it.”

    I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.

    At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life.

21. In others’ eyes, the writer was ______.

A. wild and successful                                        B. fun-loving and responsible       

C. quiet and irresponsible                                   D. serious and hard-working

22. The writer wanted to find a drug to ______.

A. discover the right mixture of chemicals            B. create separate bodies for both sides

C. observe the change of the chemicals                D. make himself smaller but stronger

23. From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.

A. felt quite delighted right after taking the drug   

B. preferred kind Henry to pure evil Edward

C. was very sick of the shorter Edward Hyde             

D. was satisfied with both of his bodies

   It’s been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant(移植), and now, what he really wants to do is playing football. “I feel happy about my new hands, and I don’t feel different. I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didn’t have hands,” he said.

   The nation’s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zion’s operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “I’ve never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “He’s just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”

    Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “It’s been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dream. It’s his dream, and it’s mine, too. I’m just living through him, and I’m just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.”

    However，Zion told reporters his mom wouldn’t let him try out for football. His mom said it’s too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.

7. What is Zion’s attitude towards his transplanted hands?

A. He likes them a lot                           B. He tries to ignore them

   C. He accepts them unwillingly                   D. He has mixed feelings about them.

8. What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion?

   A. He was unusually quiet.                       B. He was well worth praising.

   C. He was cleverer than expected.             D. He was a talented football player.

9. Which of the following words can best describe Pattie Ray?

   A. Sensitive and strict.                      B. Devoted and supportive

   C. Optimistic and active                    D. Open-minded and outgoing.

10. What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean?

   A. accept              B. prove              C. be against               D. comment

NANJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou will shake hands in their historic meeting scheduled in Singapore on Saturday, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday.

The two-part meeting includes one session open to the media and another behind closed doors, said Zhang Zhijun, who is also head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, when interviewed at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan Strait.

According to Zhang, Xi and Ma, as "leaders of the two sides" of the Taiwan Strait, will exchange views during the closed-door meeting.

       Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

       Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

       Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week, we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”

       Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.

       “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.

       The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

       A. what her life is like                                                   B. how beautiful Lahej is

Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.

Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.

We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience，there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often：ability，money，and time.  _______36.________ Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：

1．Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already？____37._____

2．Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread？_____38._____ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

3．_____39._____ This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

Hopefully that gives you a good start_____.40._____ And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things.      

B．Ability is easily improved.

C．Make three or four instead.

Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me more was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were very happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Stealing? I guess we were stealing. But in our 13-year-old brains the matter of ownership 41 occurred to us. We just wanted to 42 some strawberries in Mr Jordan’s backyard. So we went 43 into his backyard.

When we started 44 his strawberries, all of a sudden Mr Jordan came outside.

“What are you boys doing out here?” he 45 and tried to grab one or two as my friends rushed past him, but they were too 46 for the older gentleman to seize, and all the boys except me disappeared within seconds.

Speed was never my 47 .So I could just stand there and 48 whatever punishment would surely come my way from Mr Jordan. 

He marched me to my house and my mother criticized me. My friends gathered to celebrate their 49 and observe my capture. They 50 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain to my father about how 51 it was.

“I don’t think so,” Dad said. “You got the punishment you 52 .”

“But what about other guys?” I asked.

Dad said, “You can’t 53 what happens to other people. You can only 54 what happens to you. You picked Mr Jordan’s strawberries that night, and you were punished for it. To me, that is completely fair.”

Then I couldn’t 55 my father’s words. 56 through the years I knew what he talked about. We didn’t come to earth with a 57 that life would treat us fairly.

Like Dad said, the 58 thing we can actually 59 is what happens to us. How we choose to respond to what happens to us is truly the 60 by which the quality of our lives will be measured whether or not we think it happens fairly.
