   As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.

   This is really a commonly phenomenon in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.

   As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.

I was 14 years old. I was angry and rebellious, with     41    regard for anything my parents had to say,     42     if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many     43      , I struggled to 

escape from anything that didn’t      44      my picture of the world.  A  “ brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any obvious     45      of love. In fact, I got angry at the     46     of 

the word “love”. 

One     47     , after an extremely difficult day, I    48    into m room, shut the door loudly

and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in the privacy of my     49   , my hands placed

under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, “To      50    when you’re alone.” 

              51     I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not. So I opened it. It said,“Mike，I know life is     52     right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t 

do everything right. I also know that I love you    53    and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you don’t, that’s also       54    . Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be    55   that

you are my son. I’m here for you and I love you--that will never      56     . Love you, Mom.” 

Every night as I went to bed, I would put my hands under my     57    , and I remember the

     58     I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I still could be loved     59    my anger and rudeness. Just before I fell     60       I became grateful that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, needed.

       Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had   41   been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite   42    because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he     43    a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.    44     the man walked up to the counter and asked: “How     45      per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is     46    . The man thought to himself: “What a     47    !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to    48    it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned     49     . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath. 
      But despite his   50     , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers     51      their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re    52  , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment ( 佐料 ). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t     53   ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
      You probably think this man was pretty     54   , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same    55      on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not    56     , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still  57       because they don’t want to waste the initial investment. But this is    58   . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
       Losing something is difficult, but it is important to     59     the loss and move on.    60      you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.

   I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.

     They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in mussel. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) — into a lager cocoon.

     It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

     But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

32. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to tell____.

A. readers how to be popular with people around

B. teenagers how to decide things for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

33.According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them __________________.

A. have much difficulty understanding each other

B. lack confidence

C. dare not cope with problems single handed

D. are very much afraid of getting lost

34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There is no popularity that really counts.

B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.

C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.

D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.

35. During the teenage years, one should learn to __________________

A  differ from others in as many ways as possible

B  get into the right season and become popular

C  find one's real self

D  rebel against parents and the popularity waves

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community if material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止)．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
    What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind:“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread．”

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
32.Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A. Wealth results from honest effort.
B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C．For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.
D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
33. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “________”．
A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pains, no gains
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
34.We learn from the passage that the author________．
A．was a wealthy person in the community
B．held a positive attitude towards an active life
C．was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
35.What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A．To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
B．Where there is a will, there is a way.
C．As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.
D．If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air．The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly.

It might protect your hea1th by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.

Eco-friendly Umbrella

Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.

Eco-friendly Moss(苔藓)Carpet

It is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity(湿度)of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
