    A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.

    Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.

    She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.

    “This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to put off the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”

    Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.

    1.It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.

    A. Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cab

    B. Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed

    C. Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driver

    D. Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City

    2. The policewoman told Lennon________.

    A. not to worry about the guitar

    B. to have a nice day in New York City

    C. to wait with patience

    D. to find the cab driver and talk to him

    3. Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?

    A. Finding a lost guitar. B. Finding the cab driver.

    C. Enjoying one's own life D. Finding murderers.

    4.The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．

    A. making people unfortunate

    B. making people feel sad

    C. making people losing money

    D. making people losing good luck

    My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.

    It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

    In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

    For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.

    I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

    1.The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.

    A. she watched the scene with her daughter

    B. the scene was very exciting and interesting

    C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

    D. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children

    2.After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.

    A. didn’t get used to the change for a long time

    B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much

    C. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter

    D. failed to have a good sleep every night

    3.What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?

    A. Happiness. B. Anger.

    C. Sadness. D. Excitement.

    4.According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?

    A. To call her daughter any time.

    B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.

    C. To say good night to her daughter.

    D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.

    Over the years, many cities and states have tried to put a tax(税) on sugary drinks. Last week, Berkeley, California succeeded. The city in northern California will charge a penny-per-ounce tax on most sugary drinks. The tax is expected to raise more than ＄1 million every year to fight against obesity(肥胖).

    Makers of sugary drinks are against the tax. They say picking out one product will not solve the obesity problem in America. They also argue that a tax is an attack on personal freedom. “Families should be able to make the choice for their kids without the government stepping in,” said Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesperson for the American Beverage Association(美国饮料协会).

    Gindlesperger says that the fight against obesity is more successful when the government partners with industry. He shows how the beverage industry worked with President Bill Clinton’s administration is the 1990s. They introduced water, milk, and fruit juice into a large number of schools, which took the place of sugary drinks. More recently, the beverage industry listened to First Lady Michelle Obama’s suggestion that labels(标签)on sugary drinks be clearer. Containers of up to 20 ounces will show the total calories on the front.

    Some people say a tax is a surefire way to help reduce obesity in the U.S. “There is clear evidence that taxes result in less consumption(消费) of sugary drinks,” says Dr. Rachel Johnson, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association. She points to Mexico as an example. The country put up a tax on sugary drinks in January, and sales have already dropped by 10%. What’s more, sales of healthier drinks have increased. Bottled water sales are up by 13%. Milk sales are up by 7%.

    Another purpose of the tax is to raise money to fight childhood obesity. Money will be used to build playgrounds, create educational materials, and increase the sales of the healthier foods. “We’ve already helped reduce obesity to some degree,” says Dr. Johnson. “I’m confident that we’re going to see even bigger progress soon.”

    1.In the 1990s, sugary drinks in many schools _________.

    A．were charged a penny-per-ounce tax

    B．were not as popular as they are today

    C．were replaced by water, milk, and fruit juice

    D．were not more than 20 ounces per bottle

    2.The underlined word “surefire” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “_________”.

    A．good B．stupid C．strange D．new

    3.Why does Johnson talk about Mexico?

    A．It is her favorite country.

    B．She likes Mexican sugary drinks.

    C．She tries to show a tax can help a lot.

    D．It produces all kinds of sugary drinks.

    4.What is the purpose of this text?

    A．To ask kids to drink fewer sugary drinks.

    B．To show how to fight childhood obesity.

    C．To talk about different taxes in Berkeley.

    D．To discuss if sugary drinks should be taxed.
