He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.

I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers—that they make money from the misfortune of others.

“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me. “Be honest. What do you make?”

that they once thought impossible.

I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart

and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.

Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true;

I make a great difference! What about you?

A cat with his own Facebook page and Instagram account is taking the Internet by storm thanks to his expressive eyebrows. Curious-looking Sam has racked up 150,000 Instagram followers and 530,000 likes on Facebook since bursting onto the scene in 2012.

Owner Amanda Collado, 26, from New York, has been handling the large amount of requests from fans and media for the past three years. She said, “There have definitely been situations where I have had to ignore friends, family or work to take the time to do Sam's posts or answer emails on his behalf. Everyone gets a little annoyed when I'm on my phone and not paying attention to them. I never thought Sam would be so popular.”

Amanda's mum, Ivette Rodriguez, noticed the abandoned cat outside her home one evening.

Ivette said, “I saw a little niche (壁龛) next to the house and there was a cat in there. He willingly gave himself up to me—I guess he was so tired of being outside.”

Amanda created an Instagram account for Sam after a friend pointed out his expressive brows. She said, “I didn't notice his eyebrows initially.”

“He had about 800 followers at first—but in February someone posted his photo on Reddit and he blew up overnight—I woke up with 1600 followers. From there we made a Facebook and all other social media accounts.”

Amanda posts pictures to Sam's account every two days, but spends most of her day keeping up with all of his fans. But the effort she puts into her pet's social media has paid off—and she has bigger plans for Sam's future, including merchandise (商品).

“Right now we're trying to share him in a free way. Eventually we'll sell Sam merchandise, because I know many people do like having cute little mugs, Sam mugs, or posters, T-shirts.”

1.Why does Amanda sometimes ignore her friends?

A. She is absorbed in her work.

B. She is popular with her fans.

C. She gets along badly with her friends.

D. She is busy with Sam's business.

2.How did Amanda get the cat called Sam?

A. She bought it from her friend.

B. One of her friends gave it to her.

C. Her mother found it and adopted it.

D. The text didn't mention it.

3.What does Amanda plan to do about Sam?

A. She plans to post Sam's photo on Reddit on the Internet.

B. She plans to post pictures to Sam’s account every day.

C. She plans to buy more cats.

D. She plans to sell Sam products.

At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because ________.

A. he wanted to take the task home

B. he was new to the class

C. he had an attention disorder

D. he was tired of literature

2.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?

A. Angry.B. Impatient.C. Sympathetic.D. Encouraging.

3.The underlined phrase spilled out in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. put inB. crowded inC. cheated inD. broke in

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A teacher can open up a new world to students.

B. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.

C. The disabled should be treated with respect.

D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

Air pollution, such as haze, has become a serious problem around the world. Besides wearing a mask, what else can we do to protect ourselves from the dirty air?

Scientists have developed a new inhaler (吸入剂) that can reduce the effect air pollution has on people. It could help millions of people who are suffering from air pollution, the Guardian reports.

This inhaler is developed by German company Bitop and contains a molecule (分子) named Ectoine. The molecule creates a layer (涂层) that protects lungs from polluted air. It’s reported that the inhaler will be affordable to most people when it comes to the market.

Air pollution kills more than three million people a year worldwide and leads to health problems like lung and heart disease and strokes, according to a 2016 research project in the journal Nature. It is also linked to brain disease, mental illness and diabetes (糖尿病).

Andreas Bilstein at Bitop believed that the inhaler could be useful around the world, because air pollution is not just a European problem: “Especially in Asia - China in particular - the demand for such a product is even higher.”

Many Chinese cities have been suffering from haze. According to World Health Organization, two of the 10 most polluted cities in the world in 2015 were in China. About 800,000 deaths that are linked to air pollution take place in the country every year.

However, such inhalers should never be an excuse for not trying to stop air pollution, said Professor Jean Krutmann at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine. “The best thing is that we have clean air and we don’t need any prophylactic (预防性的) treatment,” he said.

1.What is the new inhaler?

A. It can help protect the environment.

B. It can help us reduce the harm of air pollution.

C. It can solve the air pollution problem.

D. It can make the dirty air clean.

2.From the third paragraph, we learn that ________.

A. the inhaler comes from a US company

B. the inhaler is named Ectoine

C. a molecule in the inhaler forms a layer on lungs

D. the inhaler’s price will not be too high for most people

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Air pollution kills millions of people a year worldwide.

B. Air pollution can cause mental illness.

C. There are no air pollution problems in Europe.

D. Air pollution is a serious problem in China.

4.Which is Professor Jean Krutmann’s opinion?

A. Such inhalers mean much to people.

B. We should take action to control air pollution.

C. We can depend on inhalers to solve air pollution problems.

D. We’d better produce more medicines to treat lung diseases.

The Human Camera

There is not anybody else quite like Stephen Wiltshire. Born in 1974, Stephen was always different. 1. In fact, he talked to nobody, showed no interest in school subjects and wasn’t able to sit still. Stephen was later told that he had autism(自闭症). He didn’t learn fully to talk until he was nine years old and he didn’t manage to pass his exams. 2. Art became his way to communicate.

He started by drawing funny pictures of his teachers, but soon began to draw buildings. His eye for detail was perfect. He could see a building just once and remember everything about it. 3. Hours later, in front of TV cameras, he managed to draw this building, with the time on the station clock saying 11:20, the exact time when he was there. The television programme made him famous overnight in the UK.

4. He has become a well-known artist, published four books of his drawings, taken helicopter(直升机) rides above the world’s great cities and drawn amazing pictures of them, and opened his own art gallery, where he now works, in London.

His drawings are correct and true in every detail—he always manages to draw everything in the right place. 5. In 2006, he was given an MBE(Member of the Order British Empire) by the Queen of England for services to art.

A. Floating Cities was his third book.

B. As a child, he couldn’t make friends.
