For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants(污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building--green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.
1.Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because________.
A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill
B. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings
C. the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful
D. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases
2.Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _______.
A. every modern house B. every old house
C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices
3.The indoor air pollution is caused by ______.
A. the building way that the builders want to save energy
B. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow
C. the building things that are made of man-made materials
D. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside
4.The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ______.
A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors
B. plants may take in more oxygen which people need
C. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals
D. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy

Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man, who has to convince her they are married. When she expresses doubt, he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago.
Only then does amnesiac Daisy accept that she has been married, and that everything he has told her is true. The lady's condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents, a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990. Daisy can recall everything up to 1994, but since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.
She has no day-to?day memory after the car crash. And it is not just loved ones Daisy struggles with. She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone's calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties. Anything she has done or anyone she has met must be logged for future reference. And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone, she has to be armed with navigation (导航) programmed with her address.
There are some benefits, however. There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time.“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day, said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week.
Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(【医】 前进的, 顺行的) amnesia. He added, “It is reasonably rare, but it does exist. You are able to carry out day?to?day things, and don't forget how to do certain things like speaking. But if someone was to ask you what you did yesterday, you wouldn't have a clue.”
1.What caused Daisy’s condition?
A. Her disability since birth.
B. Brain injuries in accidents.
C. Her declining health

People are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.
1.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
2.What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They are reluctant to give up their personal information.
B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
3.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To provide better service to its users.
B. To follow the Federal guidelines.
C. To improve its users’ connectivity.
D. To expand its scope of business.
4.What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?
A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.
B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.
C. Formulating(制订) regulations for social-networking sites.
D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.
5.Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data abused.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

Suzanne Clement first met Xavier Dolan when he was 17 — an "ambitious, intelligent, hyperactive" young director who wanted to make a film called "J'ai tue ma mere" ("I Killed My Mother").
The Quebecois actress never doubted his talents. Now eight years later, she stars in his acclaimed film "Mommy," which has been selected as Canada's foreign-language entry to the Oscars.
"I think 'Mommy' is like a continuation of this amazing authenticity（真实性）that he puts into his work," said Clement in a recent telephone interview. "He's saying something very deep. And he started to say those deep things about his life when he was doing his first movie."
The film focuses on a trio of troubled characters: widowed mother Diane (Anne Dorval), her violent son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon), and Kyla, a shy, mysterious neighbour with a terrible stammer（口吃）who offers to help (Clement).
While the dynamic between Diane and Steve is perhaps the most important, Kyla's character is equally compelling. The viewer knows she is on leave from her teaching job and she recently stammered, but the reasons are left somewhat vague.
She said Dolan contacted her last summer, shortly before "Mommy" began filming, and sought help in fleshing out Kyla's story. "He told me, 'I have this third character and I'd love you to play her, but she's not very, very definite now. If you want to talk about her and give your input, I'd like to build her.'" she recalled.
"Mommy" opens in Toronto on Friday before screening in other Canadian cities. It premiered（首映）at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where audiences gave it a lengthy standing applause before it was awarded with the prestigious Jury Prize.
After appearing in Dolan's "J'ai tue ma mere" in 2009, Clement went on to star in his film "Laurence Anyways," for which she won the Cannes Un Certain Regard award for Best Actress in 2012.
1.Which statement is True according to the passage?
A. Xavier Dolan made a film called “J’ai tue ma mere” when he’s 17.
B. When Suzanne Clement first met Dolan, she doubted his talents.
C. Dolan made the film “Mommy” at the age of 25.
D. Dolan’s film “Mommy” has received the Oscars.
2.The underlined word “compelling” in Para.5 can be replaced by ________.
A. attractive B. boring
C. pessimistic D. active
3.How many films did Clement star in Dolan’s films?
A. Four B. Three C. Two D. One
4.When the film “Mommy” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, _________.
A. it received many criticisms.
B. it attracted no attention at all.
C. it turned out a success.
D. it had already been awarded with the Jury Prize.
5.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Suzanne Clement and Xavier Dolan
B. Their successful film “Mommy”
C. All their successful films.
D. How to make a film.

Both of Jessica’s parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says.
Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option. “That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down,” she says.
It was her mom’s diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after. “Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her,” Jessica says. “I finally said, ‘Enough!’ and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.
In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.
“Doing music is so free,” Jessica says. “There’s no pressure to be a star. Success, to me, isn’t a dollar amount or a record deal; it’s doing what I love.”
1.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Jessica didn’t really like working as a lawyer.
B. Jessica didn’t know what she truly loved for ten years.
C. Jessica wasn’t satisfied with the pay she got as a lawyer.
D. Jessica was grateful for her parents’ arrangement for her.
2.What does the underlined word “ailing” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sick. B. Crazy.
C. Worried. D. Unhappy.
3.What was Jessica’s mother’s attitude toward her singing?
A. Unknown. B. Doubtful.
C. Supportive. D. Negative.
4.By telling Jessica’s story, the writer most probably wants to _______.
A. encourage us to pursue our dreams
B. show that singing can be a practical career
C. tell us the importance of choosing a right job
D. show that family members’ support is important
