    My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed(责备)me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.

    Big data (数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies, and governments. One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.

    Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.

    Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.

    How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

  1. (1) This reading is about ________.
    A . what big data is and how it is used B . what schools and hospitals people like C . where important data is collected and stored D . how big data is controlled by governments and companies
  2. (2) One company uses weather information to ________.
    A . help children in need B . know when people will visit the hospital C . find out who rides the bus or train D . understand when people will need ice cream
  3. (3) The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ________.
    A . big data can be used for good reasons B . we can use big data in a number of ways C . big data can be used for both good and bad reasons D . we can use big data to prevent babies from getting sick
  4. (4) The overall tone (总基调) of this reading is ________.

    Thirteen-year-old Sophie had been bullied (欺凌) at school for two years. She had had her keys and mobile phone stolen. She had also been knocked off her bicycle, kicked and punched (以拳重击). She tried to fight back, but it always seemed to be her, not the bullies, who got into trouble.

    Her headmaster encourages students to look after one another. He encouraged Sophie to play the guitar in a school concert. It gave Sophie new confidence and earned her respect from the other students.

    But help is out there. There are many charities and organizations giving support to young people. Remember one very important piece of advice: If you are being bullied, don't put up with it-tell someone.

  1. (1) In the beginning, Sophie found it difficult to fight back when she was bullied.
  2. (2) We can know from the article that cyber bullies can be harder to stay away from.
  3. (3) Sophie was 9 years old when she was first bullied.
  4. (4) There are few charities and organizations giving support to young people.

    When your pen is broken, you think that's the end of its life. You throw it away. It then joins tons of other garbage that is becoming a big problem in cities.

    Each day, about 10,000 tons of waste is produced in Guangzhou, and 17,000 tons of household waste is produced in Beijing. In other countries, the case is similar. "If you're like most of us, most Americans, you're making seven pounds (3.17kg) of trash a day," US writer Edward Humes told CNN. So, an American makes 102 tons of trash in a lifetime.

    If you simply throw away that broken pen, it goes to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and is buried together with many other trash. To prevent polluting the groundwater, workers cover the trash with soil and keep it dry. And your pen will stay there for a long, long time, without having further use. But it could have a better destination: the recycling bin.

    Have you ever noticed the different colors of trash bins in the street? Many cities in China have been running a waste-sorting (垃圾分类) campaign. They divide trash into "recyclable waste" and "unrecyclable waste". So in Yiwu there are many "Little Yellow Dog" appearing all around the city, even in our campus.

    Recycling waste can save energy, reduce greenhouse gas, and keep space free for the unrecyclable trash. Take your pen as an example. At the recycling factory, its metal parts could be taken out and reused to make other things.

    But recycling is not enough, experts say. Making less waste in the first place is the way forward. "The best thing to do is just keep using your stuff for as long as you can," US writer Adam Minter told Time Out magazine.

    One Sunday morning in June my mother walked into my room. "Surprise!" she said, proudly holding up a yellow dress with black and white stripes. "I made it just for you. What do you think?"

    I bit my tongue. How could I tell Mum it was the ugliest dress I had ever seen?

    "It's perfect for church," my mother continued delightedly. "I wish someone had made a dress like this for me."

    Too bad you can't wear it, I thought. But I knew Mum had spent a lot of time on the dress. Only the world's most ungrateful daughter would refuse. Unwillingly I put it on.

    All through church I prayed, "Lord, let me get out of here without anyone seeing me." Especially Dennis Pearce, the boy I had a crush on. He was one of the cutest boys at Neptune High School. Although we were in some of the same classes, Dennis had never taken any notice of me. Every time I got near him, I became tongue-tied.

    At the end of the service I hurried to the door. But I had to wait on the steps while my parents chatted with their friends. Just a little while longer…Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the Pearce approaching. Before I could escape, Dennis was right beside me.

    I started talking a mile a minute, hoping if I kept it up he wouldn't notice my awful dress.

    "I'm going to college in September," I said.

    "That's great," Dennis replied, "I got accepted to police academy."

    "Wow!" I said. Somehow I kept the conversation going. Soon we were walking to the parking lot together. The next thing I knew Dennis had asked me out on a date!

We fell in love through college, and finally got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day he had first asked me out.

    "You bet I do," he said. "You were always quiet in school, almost coldhearted. I didn't think you'd be much fun. But you were so lively when we talked on the church steps, I wanted to get to know you better." Maybe that zebra-striped yellow dress wasn't what I would have chosen, but that day it was the perfect dress for me.

  1. (1) What did the writer think of the dress?
    A . It had special colors. B . It looked really awful. C . Its style was boring. D . It was right for church.
  2. (2) How did the writer probably feel when she was at church?
    A . Proud. B . Angry. C . Nervous. D . Happy.
  3. (3) The writer kept up the conversation with Dennis in order to     .
    A . catch his parents' attention B . ask him out on a date C . stop him noticing her dress D . get to know him better
  4. (4) What is the best title for the passage?
    A . A perfect dress. B . An excellent mother. C . A creative date. D . An unforgettable service.

A kid hero

    "If you could have any three things, what would you want?"

    Eleven-year-old Ruby Chitsey loves asking that question, but it's not a game she plays. She asks the seniors(老年人)at nursing homes in Arkansas where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make their wishes come true. Ruby has long been close to the elders. Her mother has worked in nursing homes for many years. Ruby often stays with her in summer and asks the seniors if they need anything.

    Last May, Ruby noticed an old lady named Pearl staring(凝视) out a window. She seemed sad. "What are you looking at?" Ruby asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner. Ruby asked around and discovered that nursing home doesn't allow the seniors to have dogs and Pearl couldn't afford to pay anyone to look after her dog. Ruby also heard many stories about Pearl's friends here and found that they were unable to afford life costs. That was when she decided to do something about it.

    She started by asking the seniors what three things they wanted most in the world. Her mother worried that people would ask for cars and other things that an 11-year-old wouldn't be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate, fries, and even just pants that fit properly.

    "I felt really upset," Ruby says. "We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many things as we could."

    Using their own money, Ruby and her mother helped about 100 people in three months. Then, they started asking for donations (捐款). The good people in Arkansas strongly supported them, so Ruby and her mother set up a GoFundMe page—Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents. After GoFundMe named Ruby a Kid Hero and spread her story internationally, Three Wishes raised more than $250, 000 in five months. One of Ruby's new goals is to set up a shared computer in one nursing home in each state.

    Ruby doesn't plan to stop there. "I consider kindness to be my hobby" she says, "and I'm very good at it."
