Yesterday I stepped into a restaurant for lunch. As I was waiting my order to come,I noticed the old man in a wheelchair roll himself over to a table. No one and me seemed to notice him. I got up and go over to his table and asked if that I could get him something to drink. He smiled and said, "Thank you. You are generously. I'd like any orange juice,please.”When I was getting ready to leave,I walked by the old man's table to saying goodbye. He thanked me again and told me I had made his days,coming over and helping him out. I gave him a hug and told him he had made my day,either.

 "Mum,you're always on the computer！" Laure com-planu'd.

"No,I'm not. " I 33       .

  "Every day I come home from school you're working on the computer.”

  "Well,at least I'm here 34        you!"

  My daughter was right. Day after day. in my home office,I would stare into space as my 35        typed out the thoughts of a speaker or research completed for an ar?ticle. It seemed that my work as a writer and speaker 36        my fingers to the keyboard and my mind to valua?ble ideas. What Laure did not 37        was that during her day away,I'd also be doing a lot of housework. It was only around three in the afternoon that I'd 38        seat myself at my desk for a few 39        moments of deep thought. Then she'd come in from school.

  I was 40        of myself on being available to my chil?dren. After all,I am a speaker on child behaviour and par?enting. But Laure's observation 41        my heart. In her eyes,I must have been a mom who was 42        but unap?proachable. I wouldn't make such an image (形象) before her. My relationship with my children is more 43        than any other work.

  "Laure," I called, "come here a minute.” She wandered to my doorway. I had decided to have her 44        me when I was too devoted to work. I wanted her to have the 45        to let me know when she thought I was cold.

After I explained my 46        and the fact that I chose home office to be accessible to her and her sister,I offered Laure the following 47       .

  "Whenever you feel I'm ignoring you or you need my 48      ,I want you to 49        me," I said, "just come up and give me a little hug,that'll be our signal that you 50        me.” Years later we still have that 51        sign. I've be- come much more sensitive to my daughters' comings and goings. 52 she always gives me a little hug to remind me of the real reason I work at home.

 You often find somebody who works around you com?plaining all the time,don't you?

28       About 70 %of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily,here are 4 tips to help form positive pat?terns.

 1. Self-awareness When a negative thought pops into your mind,imme?diately correct it. Instead of telling yourself "That's a nice shirt,but I can't afford it," change the message to "That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it." 29      

  Of course,everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain,the better you will feel.

2. Distance yourself 30        Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet,somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand (闲境) .

3. Don't try to change complainers If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event,simply choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of some?thing else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target. 31       If someone says, "I hate Mondays,weekends are too short," try to think, "I'm glad I rested up over the weekend,so I'm ready to make some improve?ment on that big project.”

4. 32       When someone is shouting at you angrily,throw the responsibility back at them by asking, "So what do you in?tend to do about it?" In most cases* complainers don't re?ally want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions,they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so,you will be happy.

   A. Find solutions

   B. Change responsibility

   C. You have got a lot of company.

   D. By doing this,it will lead to positive behaviours.

   E.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.

   F.Whenever possible,escape from negative conversa?tions.

   G.You will never know what they are going to talk about.

  [2015山东泰安二模] Robots make me nervous―especially the ones which seem to think for them?selves. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates,the founder of Mi?crosoft,felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the website Reddit:"I am in the camp that is concerned a-bout super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern." Well,maybe I don't have to worry about my laptop and kitchen appliances yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future,machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There's a scary thought!Professor Stephen Hawking warned a few months ago about the possibility that artificial intelligence could evolve and end up beyond human control. He suggested that ma?chines could "spell the end of the human race".

  Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil or rebellious. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That's what phi?losopher Nick Bostrom from the Future of Humanity In?stitute at Oxford University believes. He says that ma?chines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals,the destruction of people might be just collater?al (附带的〉damage. A machine would not take pity on you.

  I'm glad my machines at home are "dumb". All my vacuum cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my liv?ing room. Let's hope they don't create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

24. We can conclude from Gates' statements that       .

   A. he is embarrassed that he is afraid of robots

   B. he doesn't think machines are intelligent

   C. machines should be fully employed

   D. machines' super intelligence should be a concern 

25.The underlined word "spell" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "      ".

   A. record   B. cause

   C. explain   D. develop 

26. Why are computers dangerous according to Nick Bostrom?

   A. They are too evil and rebellious.

   B. They are indifferent to humans.

   C. They show pity on humans.

   D. They are too clever and efficient.

27. What can be inferred about the author?

   A. He doesn't agree with Bill Gates.

   B. He is not content with the present kitchen appli?ances.

   C. He is scared about the super intelligence of ma-chm cs.

   D. He expects that machines will take place of hu?mans.

 [2015河南洛阳第二次统一检测] It is 7 am and the alarm is going off. You know you have to be out of bed to catch the bus. But the urge to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong. Sounds familiar? Why is it that teens find it difficult to get themselves out of bed in time every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?

During adolescence,the body goes through many changes and this includes a shift in sleep patterns. Re?searchers from MIT have been tracking the body's need for sleep in teenagers. They found that though adolescents need as much as 9. 5 hours of sleep a day,they get to bed later and later with each passing year. In fact,the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12  to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20!So by the time a 10-year-old child who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18,his body naturally wants to stay up till 10:30 or 11pm.

 According to researchers,this is because of a hor?mone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland—a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin regulates the body's natural day-night rhythms. It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering their body's core temperature. In teens， melatonin is se?creted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Like-wise,the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning,making it hard for them to wake up early.

  A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week. During sleep,important body functions and brain activities hap?pen. So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The A-merican Association of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later―not before 8:30 am. This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.

20. From Paragraph 2,we can learn that if you sleep late,the next day you should .

   A. stay sharp   B. skip breakfast

   C. get up late   D. stay up late 

21.What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3  refer to?

   A. The students want to stay up.

   D. The adolescents sleep late.

22. The teens go to sleep later than before because       .

   A. melatonin is secreted much later

   B. melatonin regulates the sleep time

   C. they sleep a lot in the daytime

   D. they need to finish their homework 

23. According to AAP's recommendation,middle and high schools should       .

   A. let teens sleep in the day

   B. let the students be active

   C. delay the start time

   D. start later at 8:00 am

  [2015辽宁朝阳二模] The next generation of robots will be a-ble to see objects,will have a sense of tou?ch,and will make critical decisions.
