    My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show.” They didn’t have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.

    They understood that honesty is an inner(内部的) standard for judging your behavior. Unfortunately, honesty is in short supply today. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.

    There’s a story told about a surgical nurse’s first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible(负责) for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation. At the end of the operation, the nurse said to the doctor, “ You’ve only removed 11 sponges（海绵）, and we used 12. We need to find the last one.”

    “I removed them all,” the doctor assured her. “ No, you didn’t , sir,” insisted the nurse. “ Think of the patient.”

    Smiling, the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.

    So when you know you’re right, you can’t yield. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.

    Self-respect and a clear awareness (意识)of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Honesty means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not easily yielding, will always take you forward. My grandparents taught me that.

    1.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ______.

    A. the author’s grandparents liked snow

    B. the author’s grandparents didn’t like chatting

    C. the author is worried about the issue of honesty in today’s society

    D. Honesty is the most important standard for judging one’s behavior

    2.The nurse insisted there was still a sponge because_____

    A. she saw the doctor hide the twelfth sponge

    B. she believed she was right

    C. she thought the doctor was not responsible

    D. she knew the patient well

    3.What does the underlined word “yield” mean in the text?

    A. admit B. give in

    C. stop D. look forward

    4.How does the text mainly develop?

    A. By providing an example of honesty.

    B. By making a comparison between honesty and dishonesty.

    C. By explaining the author’s grandparents’ belief in detail.

    D. By following the order of importance.

    A truehoverboard looks like a skateboard without wheels．To"hover"means to flat in the air without moving much in any direction．The popularity of hoverboards began in the 1980s，with the"Back to the Future"movies．Characters in the second and third films used hoverboards as transportation．
    This year's popular hoverboards，however，do not actually hover．They have wheels．And？as it turns out，they are not easy to use．
    Adults and children around the world suffered hoverboard-related injuries over the weekend．Many posted pictures of the damage on social media．Twitter user David Douglas posted a photo of both him and a young girl with the broken arms they suffered on Christmas Day．And another user Erin Rafferty uploaded a video of her mother falling off a hoverboard，with the caption，"Who let mom on the hoverboard？"

    Studies suggest that some hoverboard brands have defective batteries or plugs．
    Many major airlines worldwide have banned hoverboards because of the fire risk．But some passengers did not hear the news．Australian actor Russell Crowesaid on Monday about his disappointment that Virgin Australia Airlines did not permit his children to take their hoverboards on the plane．
    Major retailers （零售商）are also taking steps to improve the safety of the hoverboards they sell．Amazon in the United States now only sells hoverboards from brands that have submitted safety standrd documents．The UK's Amazon no longer sells hoverboards．It has also advised customers who bought unsafe brands of hoverboards to throw them away．

    （37）CIndeed，junk food has been blamed for the prevalence（流行）of obesity．It is called junk food，because hamburger，pizza and the like contain high calories．If you eat a Big Mac （a super hamburger），an order of large fries，and a large Coke，you will need to walk non-stop for six hours to burn off the calories you have gained．And don't be fooled by soft drinks，which are high in sugar and are a major cause of obesity．
    （38）FPopular sugary drinks，of course，include Coca Cola，Pepsi（百事） Cola，and many new brands that appear on the market every couple of days．
    （39）BJust one 20-ounce （about 567g） bottle of soda can have 250calories，which are equal to more than 16teaspoons of added sugars．Even a lemon-flavored iced tea can have 210calories．
    （40）ENext time，when you are ready to eat that huge Mac and to drink that two-liter bottle of Pepsi，probably it's a good idea to give it a second thought．

    A．Obesity is more common in women than men．

    Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world，in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.

    The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.

    It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.

    1.What does the author try to argue in Paragraph l?

    A. The practice of choice is difficult.

    B. The right of choice is given but at a price.

    C. Choice and right exist at the same time.

    D. The exercise of rights is a luxury.

    2.Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?

    A. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.

    B. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.

    C. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.

    D. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.

    3.By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that___________.

    A. products of the latest design flood the market

    B. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry

    C. everyday goods need to be replaced often

    D. advanced products meet the needs of people

    4.What is this passage mainly about?

    A. The opinions on people's right in different countries.

    B. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.

    C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.

    D. The variety of choices in modern society.

    I used to believe courtesy(礼貌) was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X.

    Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a happening coffee place, with two of my grown up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were at the steep descent down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.

    Just as I was in the middle of my descent, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry. I kept coming down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (栏杆), instead of my advanced years. My agile daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.

    Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.

    1.What happened after the writer saw the young man?

    A. The young man pushed the writer roughly and went upstairs.

    B. The writer’s daughters helped her down the stairs as fast possible.

    C. The young man stood at the door deciding whether to go in or not.

    D. The writer caught hold of the bannister to walk as fast as she can.

    2.What do you think caused the writer’s nervousness?

    A. The stairs were too narrow and sleep.

    B. Her two daughters had been down already.

    C. She was afraid of being pushed roughly.

    D. She could not walk fast because of old age.

    3.What can be the best title?
