Before I spoke to his school,Matt was waiting for me.He sat in his wheelchair unable to move.As soon as he saw me he started smiling.He could not talk but I pretended the sharks were eating his cereal and his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.
One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart,he just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease.He was happy and very popular at his school—his parents' love and encouragement made all the difference.On the contrary,at a book signing session,I met a girl by the name of Anne.She walked up with her morn with a bright smile.Anne asked about my book with a slur in her speech indicating a slight head injury.I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her.I did.

Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.
In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木)to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.
At last -- she never knew how long it had taken her- - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.
She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.
The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.
1.What did Kate decide to do?
A. Stop the express train. B. Check the signal light.
C. Meet the passengers. D. Visit the station-master
2.Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey
A. Fruitless. B. Boring.
C. Well-planned. D. Risky.
3.Why did the station-master turn pale?
A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.
C. He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.

Living in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe aren't easy.Each day,animals struggle to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own.Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals. These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.
In a symbiotic relationship,the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good,right?Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases,one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks,for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood,they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.
In other relationships,animals don't treat their partners so poorly Both animals benefit from living with the other animal.

Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business.They have big customers—crocodiles.Crocs have long snouts（鼻子）filled with sharp teeth,Cleaning them is tricky.When a croc opens its mouth,the plover hops right in.The croc does not snap its snout shut.Instead,it lets the plover eat small,harmful animals attached to its teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth.

Earlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations — including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC — to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn — at least for now. The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing — and has been for a while.
When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been publishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports — areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.
Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function — so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.
There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.
Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article — at least for daily news — I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.
1.What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..
B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.
C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.
D. To describe the process of online news reporting.
2.Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.
A. these are the most popular topics for online readers
B. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
C. information on these topics is more easily available
D. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas
3.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Journalism. B. Advertising.
C. Facebook. D. Business.
4.In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?
A. The information presented is up-to-date.
B. The author's opinion is clear.
C. Different views on the topic are presented.
D. The language used is vivid.
