It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh (叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. 【1】 We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he had got brain cancer(癌). Some days he would have only one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

【题目】Elephants losing tusks
People killing elephants for their tusks has long been a problem worldwide. Although laws have been introduced to ban the selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.
But the giant animals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from hunters----by not growing tusks at all.
Scientists found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The Independent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930, according to the BBC.
But this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.
Evolution is all about natural selection(选择). When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants that can deal with the change will stay alive while others won’t. And for elephants, the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks couldn’t stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give their “tuskless” genes(基因)to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are now being born without tusks.
But this solution, as effective(有效地)as it might be, is a high price to pay for elephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting with other males, lifting and digging things up.
This is why scientists hope there can be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be killed , elephants will be able to grow tusks again.
To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the International Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in the near future.
“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will pay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, they’re going to have price on them and that causes the hunting.”
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Elephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.
B. Elephants chose not to grow tusks because of their dangerous environment.
C. Elephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.
D. A tuskless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.
【2】The underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_________” ?
A. gradual change B. sudden development C. complete loss D. rapid growth
【3】What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. We should work out a better solution to protect elephants.
B. People should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.
C. Elephants’ living environments will soon be improved.
D. The key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in tusk products.

【题目】Motivated (有内驱力的 ) or Overachieving?
Everyone has the occasional classmate who hands in his work ahead of time with really beautiful handwriting. Some teachers may cheerfully get the homework by saying "Of course you did it early.I'm sure you've done a good job!" Some teachers may feel annoyed because "The deadline is not until next Friday." Behind this student's back are tons of whispers from his classmates, "Ugh, he is such an
overachiever and it's so annoying ..."
If you ask the same student to explain his behavior, he probably says that he is simply "motivated". Such students refuse to call themselves overachievers but prefer "motivated" instead. They want to shy away from the unpleasant term
"overachiever" but choose to embrace the word "motivated" .
Why is the term "overachiever" used as an insult (侮辱 )? Do we not all work hard to achieve our goals? Why does the "motivated" student not proudly call himself an "overachiever" ?
In my personal experience, being called an overachiever in front of my classmates is not pleasant at all. The word is often connected with an unkind smile or sometimes a hint ofjealousy (嫉妒 )."Overachiever" carries the implied (暗指的 ) sense which "over" lends it - you have done too much and you have gone too far. Anyway, it is beyond the proper degree and just annoying to those students who refuse to put in the effort themselves and get unhappy with you for doing so.
A student would rather think of himself as an excellent student and it is motivation that drives him to do his best. What is the implied meaning of "motivated" ? Connected with positive words like willpower, spirit and determination, the "motivated" student would appear to be competing in an event of the brain Olympics.
Although there are differences in their implications, the student who calls himself "motivated" could actually be a secret overachiever, going over the top for all his work; while the "overachiever" is nothing more than a motivated student, driven by the simple desire to do well and willing to put in time and effort. In fact, the choice lies within the student: to overachieve or not to overachieve; to find the motivation to do well and be driven by it, or to sit back and blame others for overachieving to hide his inability to achieve.
【1】According to the passage, overachievers
A. are popular with their classmates B. hand in homework ahead of time
C. are much loved by their teachers D. look down on others for being slow
【2】The word "embrace" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_ ".
A. understand B. explain C. doubt D. accept
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Teachers expect students to benefit from their extra work.
B. Students compete with each other to become overachievers.
C. Classmates may laugh at overachievers to hide their inability to achieve.
D. The writer has some pleasant experiences of being called an overachiever.
【4】The writer probably agrees tahat
A. students shouldn't be encouraged to be overachievers
B. students without motivation will become overachievers
C. motivated students make better progress than overachievers
D. motivated students have something in common with overachievers

It's a 【1】 that has been around as long as there have been people trying to sleep.
For many, thinking about 【2】 only keeps them awake. You might be excited by everything you did that day. Maybe you can't sleep because you don't like sleeping all alone in your room. Maybe you have a frightening dream that keeps coming back every time you close your eyes.
