Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.
1.The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
A. heavy B. thin
C. tall D. strong
2.The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to _______.
A. your left hand B. your right hand
C. the water D. the bowl
3.What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A. People’s wrong ideas. B. People’s different experience.
C. Simple facts are different sometimes. D. People often disagree with each other.
4.It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
A. learn from the blind men B. not agree about simple facts
C. never think about simple facts D. never decide anything with one side

Imagine the tallest building in the United States. Fill that giant building 44 times with rotten fruits and vegetables. Now you know how much food Americans waste every year.
It is hard to believe, right? About 133 billion pounds of food get thrown away. That’s one-third of all the food we produce. And a lot of it is thrown away for one simple reason: It’s ugly.
The problem is that nature isn’t perfect. Apples can get scarred (留下疤痕) by storms. Cucumbers grow in C shapes. Carrots change into unusual fork-like forms. Watermelons get too big to fit on a refrigerator shelf. These crazy-looking fruits and vegetables may taste great. But most grocery stores refuse to sell them. Store owners say people judge food by how it looks. No one wants a tomato that looks like a two-headed monster. But what if you could buy that tomato for half-price?
A new movement is trying to make people see the “beauty” in ugly food. Some stores are selling ugly produce. It tastes the same. And you pay less for it because the food doesn’t look perfect.
Usually, the stores find a nicer word than “ugly”. A Canadian chain uses “naturally imperfect”. In some US stores, it’s “misfit produce”. Whatever you call it, ugly food helps many people. Fanners get paid for food they were going to have to throw away. Shoppers get cheaper fruits and vegetables. The ugly-food movement will also help some of the 44 million Americans who don’t have enough to eat. Many groups give the ugly produce to hungry people.
So really, who cares if that carrot looks a little… ugly?
1.Why are lots of fruits and vegetables thrown away in the US?
A. Because they don’t look nice.
B. Because they have gone bad.
C. Because they don’t taste good.
D. Because they are badly polluted.
2.What is the 5th paragraph mainly about?
A. The stores selling ugly food.
B. The better names for ugly food.
C. The number of hungry Americans.
D. The benefits of the ugly-food movement.
3.What does the mark “…” in the last paragraph suggest?
A. The author would like to buy ugly carrots.
B. No one would care if a carrot looks a little ugly.
C. The author does not quite like the word “ugly”.
D. Nobody really wants to buy carrots that look ugly.

Toddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will benefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.
Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after all the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”
But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the National Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.
What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?
“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “though they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed – so that’s good!”
1.Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?
A. He was the best among all the applicants.
B. He was the only man who applied for the job.
C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.
D. He would do things the way women would do them.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” (Para.2)?
A. Instructor.
B. Superior.
C. Baby-sitter.
D. Coach.
3.What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?
A. It has been women-specific.
B. It requires people’s understanding.
C. It takes time to make some changes.
D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.

I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.
As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.
Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comprador (买办）happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school, It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.
1.How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school?
A. Through his father’s request.
B. Through his father’s friend’s help.
C. Through his own efforts at exams.
D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff’s influence.
2.Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school?
A. It met with Chinese public opinion.
B. An English school was more influential.
C. He could become a successful interpreter.
D. Foreign trade with China was developing fast.
3.What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?
A. It was skeptical. B. It was wonderful.
C. It was thoughtful. D. It was mysterious.
4.What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?
A. Results. B. Orders.
C. Series. D. Progress.

Reading is really a good way to improve ourselves. 1. If you don’t believe me, please consider these reasons to read more books.
1. You will optimize your brain power.
2. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp（even in old age）.
2.3.
If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget, you can’t beat books. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices like the Kindle and re-selling websites like eBay, it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
3. You will reduce stress and get into a good night’s sleep.
Exposing yourself to artificial light on your cellphone or TV reduces your body’s production of melatonin （褪黑激素）, which can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. 4. Just replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleep-friendly alternative.
4. You will change your life.
I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn’t have achieved so much in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and coach.
Do you have the desire to read books now?5.
A. You will entertain yourself at any time.
B. You will entertain yourself at a low price.
C. The more books you read, the better your life will be.
