    When it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the main characters and ignore the supporting characters. But when it comes to the Minions (小黄人), these conventions go right out of the window.

    Originally comedic background characters in the Despicable Me series, these yellow pill-shaped screwballs(怪人) have totally stolen the show.

    This summer the characters appeared in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for an animated film, according to USA Today. Recently, McDonald’s has been including Minion toys with kids’ meals in some regions, causing loyal fans to go to the restaurant to collect them all. Related video games, clothing, toys and other merchandise are sweeping the world.

    The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force of nature,” the film’s co-writer, Cinco Paul, told the Los Angeles Times.

    So, what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit? For many, the most attractive is obviously their cuteness. Their simple, graphic (图形的) nature can easily transcend cultures and age groups. “Even children can draw them”, Los Angeles Times reporter, Rebecca Keegan, wrote.

    But there’s more than just cuteness. US entertainment website, HitFix, explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures infectious (有感染力的) as well. They largely speak in nonsense words. But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated movements and expressions.

    They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master, Felonious Gru. And this evil characteristic strikes a chord (引起共鸣) with humans.

    “Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves,” Huffington Post associate Web editor, Sara Boboltz, wrote.

    1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

    A. People usually like the supporting players instead of the main characters.

    B. People like the Minions who are the supporting players in the movie.

    C. The Minions are the main characters in the film, Despicable Me.

    D. People prefer the main characters to the Minions in Despicable Me.

    2.What has McDonald’s done to attract customers?

    A. It has made its food look like Minions.

    B. It has made Minion video games to show to customers.

    C. It is giving some Minion clothes to customers as gifts.

    D. It is offering Minion toys to attract fans.

    3.Which of the following is NOT the reason why the Minions are so popular?

    A. Their cuteness.

    B. Their exaggerated movements and expressions.

    C. Their way of communicating.

    D. Their bad behavior.

    4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A. HitFix explains that Minions gained popularity by striking a chord with humans.

    B. While Minions can’t be understood sometimes, their way of communicating is infectious.

    C. Minions are eager to take on whatever task their despicable master gives them.

    D. The opening weekend of Minions was the second biggest of all time.

    We’ve all heard the quote, ‘Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.’

    My husband and son died within two years of each other. From my personal experience, I believe that if we aren't careful, grief can become a rather self-involved process in which we can become so focused on our own suffering that we miss the opportunity to connect with, and possibly bring comfort to, someone else who may be going through a similar experience.

    Six months after my husband died, I was sinking in the quicksand of grief. I could not pull myself out of the misery. In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more difficult than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my suffering I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.

    The lesson presented itself in a health crisis. I had complications (并发症) from a surgical procedure and ended up being hospitalized for four days. I was in an extreme amount of pain during this time. Between the physical pain and the emotional pain of grief, I was an absolute mess.

    I should also tell you that I am a Registered Nurse. As a nurse, it is hard to be on the receiving end of medicine as the patient. The first three nights that I was in the hospital, the same nurse took care of me. She was young, maybe in her mid to late 20s, and she hardly interacted with me at all the first two nights, other than to give my medications as scheduled. She obviously had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. How hard is it to ask your patient how she's feeling? I wrote her off as a bad nurse who had little sympathy, and remained absorbed in my own emotional and physical pain. The third night the young nurse was a little more talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was struggling with depression and grief because my husband had died in an airplane accident. She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was stunned. Speechless. Shocked.

    Never, in any of the possibilities that my mind entertained of why this nurse was so unfriendly to me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain I was. Not only was she grieving as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.

    We went on to talk and share our stories about our late husbands and children. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night. We had much more in common than I would have believed. We were both widowed single moms with young children, and nurses. But, that was where the similarities ended. Her husband had no insurance policy. She had very little family support. She was working paycheck to paycheck to support her boys. I was humbled. I realized how much I had to be grateful for. And, frankly, I never saw life the same way after this experience.

    This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always prided myself on being a sympathetic person, but I realize now that I had not really understood what being sympathetic meant. To truly be sympathetic, you must be able to see beyond your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience. I thank death for very few things. The gift of sympathy for my fellow man, and understanding that we all suffer in ways that aren't always visible, are presents from death that I will always be grateful for.

    Always take the time to be kind even when you’re suffering with your own pain. And don't assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the battles someone else is fighting.

    1.What can we conclude from the author’s personal experience in para2?

    A. We can always comfort people who experienced the similar suffering.

    B. We become more concentrated on ourselves once hurt.

    C. We never get through what we suffered any more.

    D. People self-centered won’t have the chance to be hurt.

    2.What can be learned from the underlined sentence in para3?

    A. Self-pity always brings about selflessness.

    B. Selflessness often brings out blindness.

    C. Self-pity always results in selfishness.

    D. Selfishness can prevent self-pity.

    3.Why did the author regard the nurse as a bad one at first?

    A. The nurse treated her abruptly.

    B. The nurse didn’t offer medications on time.

    C. The nurse seldom communicated with her.

    D. The nurse was irresponsible.

    4.Which one is closest to the meaning of the word ‘humbled’?

    A. ashamed B. beaten

    C. defeated D. depressed

    5.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

    A. Every bean has its black.

    B. Let bygones be bygones.

    C. Misfortunes never come singly.

    D. Stand in others’ shoes.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

    Tea vs Coffee

    Tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United States. With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered

    making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already. All the buzz surrounding tea

    and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences? As it turns out, the differences are

    many and varied.

    In the US, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California

    but stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York. On the other hand, the highest interest

    in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western regions(地区), with the highest

    search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota.

    Differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production. All tea comes from the

    harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee

    plants. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient: Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow

    for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five years.

    Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea

    is the question of caffeine. The good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something

    for everyone. Unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are

    several varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference.

    From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality green and black teas that

    offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated

    HiCAF? blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to

    suit your needs. As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to be gentler on the stomach

    for a more comforting pick-me-up.

    So what is the answer, coffee or tea? If you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible,

    tea is probably the winner. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If, like many Americans,

    the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued, the images below will help to clearly spell out

    the differences between tea and coffee.

    1.It can be learned from the passage that ______.

    A. coffee is of much higher production than tea

    B. tea and coffee are from harvested leaves of plants

    C. the popularity of tea is growing constantly in the US

    D. there is no regional difference in drinking tea and coffee

    2. According to the passage, which of the following contains the least caffeine?

    A. Green tea. B. Black tea.

    C. Herbal tea. D. HiCAF? blends.

    3.What is the author’s attitude towards tea?

    A. Positive. B. Cautious.

    C. Sceptical. D. Negative.

    4.The underlined word “piqued” in the last paragraph probably means .

    A. reduced B. lost

    C. expressed D. excited

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

    When you’re a parent to a young child, you spend a lot of time talking about feelings: about having to share, about being disappointed because you may not have a cookie instead of broccoli(绿花椰菜), about the great injustice of a parent pressing the elevator button before the child has a chance to.

    And in a parenting culture that’s increasingly concerned with centering children’s needs above all else, mothers and fathers have become skillful at talking about their kids’ feelings while masking their own. But new research suggests that parents who hide their negative emotions are doing their children, and themselves harm.

    A study published this month says that when parents put on a faux-happy (假开心)face for their kids, they do damage to their own sense of wellbeing and authenticity.

    “For the average parent the findings suggest when they attempt to hide their negative emotion expression and over express their positive emotions with their children, it actually comes at a cost: doing so may lead parents to feel worse themselves,” researcher Dr Emily Impett, says.

    It makes sense that parents often fall back on amping up (扩大) the positivity for the sake of their children—there are a lot of things in the world we want to protect our kids from. But children are often smarter than we expect and are quite in tune with what the people closest to them—their parents—are feeling.

    There was a time about a year or so ago, for example, when I received some bad news over the phone; I was home with my four-year-old and so I did my best to put on a brave face. She knew immediately something was wrong though, and was confused.

    When I finally let a few tears out and explained that Mom heard something sad about a friend, she was, of course, just fine. My daughter patted my shoulder, gave me a hug, and went back to playing. She felt better that she was able to help me, and the moment made a lot more sense to her emotionally than a smiling mom holding back sobs. I was glad that I could feel sad momentarily and not have to work hard to hide that.

    Relaying positive feelings to your children when you don’t feel them is a move the researchers called high cost—that it may seem like the most beneficial to your child at the time but that parents should find other ways of communicating emotions that “allow them to feel true to themselves”.

    But this is also about children seeing the world in a more honest way. While we will want to protect our children from things that aren’t age-appropriate or harmful, it’s better to raise a generation of kids who understand that moms and dads are people too.

    1. What is the typical behavior of parents when they bring up their children?

    A. Allowing their children chances to do things themselves.

    B. Expressing their dissatisfaction with their children.

    C. Hiding their true emotions from their children.

    D. Sharing their favorite food with their children.

    2.If parents put on a faux-happy face, _______.

    A. their children will be protected

    B. their children will be taken in

    C. they will feel happy as a result

    D. they will undergo worse feelings

    3. The author mentioned the example of her daughter to illustrate ______.

    A. children are not so clever as parents think

    B. children can often understand parents’ true feelings

    C. it’s meaningful for parents to always look positive

    D. it’s necessary to expose children to harmful things

    4.We can conclude from the passage that _______.

    A. protecting children from age-inappropriate things is important

    B. it makes sense for children to know their parents’ negative feelings

    C. children will admire their parents more because of being protected

    D. separation from negative feelings helps children see the world honestly
