Dear Tom,
Yours,

I’ve been a volunteer at Radio Lollipop since May. It is one of the best 41 (experience) that I’ve had in the last few years.
Radio Lollipop is an international charity organization 42 (found) in 1979 to provide care, comfort, games and entertainment for children in hospital. The service is provided 43 (entire) by volunteers who have been specially selected and trained to make a child’s stay in hospital more interesting and less 44 (frighten).
I help out regularly on Monday evenings after work at the Royal Hospital. My task is to deliver a smile to the children at the wards (病房) 45 might be there for a few days or even a couple of months. 46 is hard to find children on Monday, as the cinema at the hospital is open on that day. Most of them tend 47 (be) there.
I am 48 (thank) for this opportunity to help children at the hospital and make their stays more pleasant. The experience also 49 (help) me deal with the difficulties and challenges that I’ve been faced with in my own life. I am now more positive in helping others and realize that everyone goes 50 some pain and suffering from time to time.

Dear cousin,
Long time no see! It has been almost a year ever since you move to London. I miss you a lot of. I’m writing the letter to ask you for help. As you know, I am eager to be a photographer like you, so I asked my parents to buy me the camera last week. But he told me I wouldn’t concentrate in my schoolwork if I got one. Oh, my God! What can I make them trust me? I’m not a kid any longer, but I can control myself. What’s worse, I have promised that I will take photos for the school’s newspaper next month. When asking by my classmates, I will be absolutely embarrassed. Therefore, would you like to lend me some money? If you’d like, I will return it as soon as possibly.
Yours Sincerely,
Tom
A PRANK (恶作剧) is naughty behavior that is at most scoldedif it gets too much. This is 41three Chinese students studying in California in the US described what they had done.
Zhai Yunyao, Yang Yuhan and Zhang Xinlei, all 19, called it a “prank” when they took their classmate Liu Yiran to a park where “Liu was … beaten, spat (吐痰) on, 42with cigarettes and forced to eat her own hair during a five-hour attack”, 43the Associated Press.
However, their “prank” in March 2015 was 44a crime in the US. The punishment was years in prison for kidnappingand assault (攻击). Zhai was 45to 13 years in prison, Yang to 10 years and Zhang to six years on Feb 17. They will be sent back to China 46serving their sentences, reported The Los Angeles Times.
The bullying (欺凌) case has caused quite a discussion in China where school bullying is not 47__ but is seldom considered a crime. According to a survey done by China Youth Daily in July last year, 73.3 percent of the 1,002 48 said they had experienced or seen bullying cases at school.
However, 49 offenders (冒犯者) receive proper punishment. In most of the cases, offenders only get criticism from schools. Offenders under 14 have no criminal 50. Those aged between 14 and 16 usually get a light punishment only when they 51serious crimes like murder and rape (强奸), according to China’s laws.
“The articles about protecting minors (未成年人) have started to get 52punishing school bullies,” commented an article in Bandao Metropolis Daily. “Some bullies even use the laws as a shield (挡箭牌) for their violent 53.” In 54, the US is quite tough on bullying.
A(n) 55of 46 of the 50 US states now have their own anti-bullying laws, according to the US Department of Education. Bullying, according to those anti-bullying laws, 56 not only direct physical contact like hitting, but also verbal assaults like name-calling.
Also, judges in the US have the right to 57 minor offenders as adults if the cases are serious or if they have criminal records.
China could learn from the US,58its legal system to stop bullying, some people have suggested. Huang Zhiyuan, a procurator (检察官) at the Henan People’s Procuratorate, advocated lowering the criminal age in Procuratorate Daily. Li Fangchao of China Daily advised China to make a 59anti-bullying law.
A more profound (深刻的) message the case showed to us is that “the common tolerant60toward bullying should be changed”, commented Jiaxing Daily. “When teenagers do something wrong, we should tolerate and help them when necessary. But all of these have a limit.”

Study Links Video Game Use to Problems in School
A new study warns that too much time spent playing computer games could affect a Child'S Performance at school. 36 They show that too many hours spent playing games can reduce students chances of success in school
More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project. 37 It is said to be the first ever long-term sduty in Northerm Ireland on of information technology on school test results.
The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were more successful in school than those who played them twice a day or more. 41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams. 38 .
The study found that social media use did not affect school performance.
Celine McStravick is the director of the National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland. She says the study showed no connection between social media and test results. “ 39 一 I think that's more because social media is part of every child's life. It's the way they communicate. It's the way they keep in touch with their friends.”
Many parents say their children are becoming increasingly dependent on computer games. Some have compared gaming to a drug addiction. 40 It suggested that computer games can cause children to stay awake late at night. Less sleep makes children tired nd unable to pay attention in school the next day.
A. However, the study did not explore addiction.
B. The new games are much different from older ones.
C. It was clear that social media didn't have any effect.
D. It took place over a period of three years from 2013 to 2015.
E. That compared with 77% of those who rarely played the games.
F. Drug addiction does great harm to their health and performance at school.
G. Britain’s National Children’s Bureau Northern Ireland reported the results of the study.
One of the most practical parts of my college education (and my entire education)was my student teaching. For six month, I gradually took over until I was completely teaching the class. It wasn’t quite the same as a real teaching job. However, it was definitely a good way to get some real world experience. School should prepare students for the job market. Therefore, are our kids receiving enough practical education so they can be successful in the real world?
When teaching kids, it’s important to be able to have a purpose for everything we teach. As parents and teachers, we should ask ourselves: what can this be used for when kids enter the job market? I can think about a college class I took where we had to analyze various movies. I honestly can’t think of how analyzing “Rambo” benefited me. Perhaps, I would have been better off taking an auto shop class or a carpentry class. After all, I can’t change a tire and I’m completely incapable when it comes to using power tools. The Guardian points out that the current generation is one of the most educated but lacks the skills to mend a hole in a shirt or put up a shelf. We have become a society that hires someone else to do these basic tasks. So how can we fix this?
Perhaps, learning how to think is not enough. Rather than focusing on standardized tests so much, schools need to give students more practical application. Cooking is actually helpful when teaching children about fractions, measuring and multiplication. Students can learn how to double a recipe and see the relationship between 1/4 and 1/3 cup. As kids get into the upper grades, money management should be a focus. Making a budget and learning about interest rates are good ideas. I used to give my students real restaurant menus and a budged. They had to come up with what they could buy, including the tip with a set amount of money. In college, rather than only focus on the craft of writing, I wish I would have learned more about marketing and publishing my writing. Finally, internships in both high school and college should be required.
It appears that some high schools are doing a better job of preparing students for the real world. For instance, according to NBC News, in Michigan, “the Utica Center for Science and Industry uses technology to prepare students for automotive and military industry jobs.” The program aims to combine students’ skills with employers’ needs. Students take optional courses in areas such as “multimedia, engineering or mechatronics” and also take part in activities where there isn’t one right answer. For me, giving kids the opportunity to create is the key point. So far, the program is showing success.
According to a Gallup poll, fifty-seven percent of American workers say “the type of work they do generally” does not require “a bachelor’s or a more advanced degree.” Therefore, if a college degree isn’t helping the majority of Americans at their job, then what is required? Many jobs require a skill. Electricians and contractors have specific skill that allow them to complete their jobs. Whether students go to four-year school or not, I think it’s important for everyone to have a skill. After all, a Forbes article states that half of college graduates are working at jobs that don’t require a degree. Clearly, being smart and qualified isn’t always enough to make it in the real world.
I’m going to encourage my kids to go to college and earn a degree. I’m also going to encourage them to think outside of the box and give them a practical education too. After all, you never know where life will take you.

To me, kindness is a chosen lifestyle. In my classroom, I tell my 21 that every day they are offered a choice. They can’t choose what happens to them, but they can choose how they 22 to it. Kindness is a 23 . And it is a lifestyle. It isn’t something that we just choose once in a while---- it is a(n) 24 to live our lives.
My father was hospitalized with leukemia(白血病) when I was in college. He didn’t choose the cancer. 25 , he chose how to react to it. To this day, seventeen years later , the nurses 26 write my mother letters. The 27 ? It was because of my father’s kindness to others even when he was 28 against the disease. He made kindness a lifestyle.
And I want to be 29 him.
Every day as a teacher, I try and teach my students the kindness lifestyle. Just recently, I turned 40 and a friend gave me 40 individual dollar bills. She challenged me to do something 30 with the money. I gladly accepted the challenge.
I gave 40 of my students one dollar each and challenged them to make a(n) 31 . What happened? My Twitter and Instagram were 32 with pictures of kids making the world a better place. One girl bought a dollar store stuffed animal(填充玩具). It was 33 that kids should have made a difference when they were given the 34 .
Living the kindness lifestyle 35 every day, every opportunity. As a high school teacher, I see 36 everywhere. In the hallways, in the lunchroom, in the locker room, 37 words and gossip（随笔） fill the air. So I started a hashtag (标签) to 38 positive gossip called “third party compliments(称赞)”. The idea is that you talk about people behind their backs, but do it in a 39 way. In that way, the gossip that gets back to students makes their day instead of getting them down.
Our kindness lifestyle leaves a footprint on others, and let us be the movers and kindness-makers who 40 a better, more beautiful world.

You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction(上瘾).
For some people, smart phones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy (自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others, though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device(设备) and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”
Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”
And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.
52. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The popularity of smart phones.
B. The progress of modern technology.
C. The signs of “always on” stress.
D. The cause of smart phone addiction.
53. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to_______.
A. research how people use their mobile phones
B. help people control their use of mobile phones
C. make people better use mobile phones
D. increase the fun of using mobile phones
54. What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?
A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
55. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means_______.
A. we will become less productive
B. we can make a decision more quickly
C. we will be equipped with more knowledge
D. we can work more effectively
It’s always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you don’t waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts of food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.
Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31% of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts.
Luckily, there’s an “ugly food” movement picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised（擦伤的） fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoided them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. It’s fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky（歪斜的）” (which to American ears might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canada’s Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts.
With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSA’s we’ve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious, or imperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!).

A. often suffered from hunger

Claude Sammut,a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of New South Wales in Australia,said it would soon be possible for robots to defeat the stars of the future.
For many years,Mr Sammut has been a member of a project called RoboCup,where robots have been programmed to learn how to play football and compete against others in a football match.
As he explains,the robots are having difficulty in learning how to control the ball and move the ball on their own,but he is still full of confidence that one day in the future they will show the same skills as Wayne Rooney,who is one of the best football players in the world.
Mr.Sammut also said,"In 1968,John McCarthy and Donald Michie made a bet with David Levy,who was then the chess champion in Scotland,that within 10 years a computer program would be able to beat him.It took a little bit longer than 10 years (nearly 30 years) but eventually such programs came into being."
"In the same spirit of a grand challenge,RoboCup aims to develop a team of robots that can defeat the world soccer champion team by the year 2050.To achieve this,or come even closer to the ambition,the robots will have to be able to sense and act in completely unstructured environments.This will require major advances in perception（感知）,decision making,learning,and cooperative behaviors.Considering robots are integrated hardware and software systems,great advances will also be needed in sensors（传感器）,energy storage,and materials."
