    Is It OK to Snap （拍照） Your Food?
    Have you ever taken a snap of a luxurious cake or photographed a juicy steak when you eat in restaurants? You may want to share what you eat with your friends or just post part of your daily life onto the Internet. However, such action may be very annoying(讨厌的) to other diners, or even to chefs and restaurant owners. Currently, more and more people begin to consider “ foodstagramming” as very silly and a bad manner.
    In many restaurants, diners complain of being blinded by flasher(闪光灯), snapped without their permission and disturbed by people climbing on to chairs for a better angle. Even chefs and restaurant owners are annoyed at food photography. A Michelin-starred(米其林星级) chef said, “It’s hard to build a memorable evening when flashes are flying every six minutes.”
    At the start of 2013, the debate on whether it is OK to take photographs of your food in restaurants seemed to swing (摇摆) towards a definite “no.” According to several chefs in New York City, some restaurants there have started banning customers from taking photos of their food. Policies around the ban of food photography vary from restaurant to restaurant, ranging from restrictions on using a flash to outright(完全的) bans. If other restaurants follow such policies, it may signal the death of “ foodstagramming”.
    Nevertheless, instead of banning food photography, some restaurants are offering food photography courses. In Spain, the restaurant group Grupo Gourmet has started running a “ Fotografia para foodies” course to instruct its customers to better take food pictures. The course teaches customers to take photos in a proper way without disturbing other dinners, such as never use a flash.

    Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
    Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready.Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
    According to pyschologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
    The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B．C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold－out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film－stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
    Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
    If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
    Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
    小题1:It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.
    A．are often misunderstood by the public
    B．can no longer have their privacy protected
    C．spend too much on their public appearance
    D．care little about how they have come into fame
    小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
    A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
    B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
    C．Well－known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
    D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
    小题3:What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
    A．Availability of modern media.
    B．Inadequate social recognition.
    C．Lack of favorable chances.
    D．Huge population of fans.
    小题4:What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?
    A．Sincere.B．Sceptical.
    C．Disapproving.D．Sympathetic.

    Tears came into this mother’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son. Every morning, her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging for one more minute to sleep.
    Why is he so sleepy? Because, like thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.
    School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted as a result.
    Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feel most sleepy. “My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.”
    However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it.
    小题1:Why did the ten-year-old boy’s mother talk about waking up her son with tears in her eyes?
    A．Because her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up.
    B．Because her son wasn’t good at lessons.
    C．Because she thought her son was too lazy.
    D．Because her son was badly ill.
    小题2:Which is NOT the result of lack of sleep?
    A．The body’s weakness.B．Nodding off in class.
    C．Near-sighted eyes.D．Poor academic developments.
    小题3:How does Li Ming’s mother feel to see him studying late?
    A．Sorry.B．Worried.C．Not unhappy.D．Angry.
    小题4:Which one is True according to the passage?
    A．All the parents hope their children stay up.
    B．No students complain about their lack of sleep.
    C．Most students watch TV or play computer games deep into night.
    D．Some parents are worried about the fact that most of the students don’t have enough sleep.

    In the Netherlands，cycling isn't seen as eccrfriendly exercise; it's part of everyday life, as it's people's top choice to school and work. There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands. In cities like Amsterdam and The Hague, up to 70 percent of all journeys are made by bike.
    So how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the European country?
    In the 1970s, the Dutch government began to improve its cycling infrastructure（基础设施）due to both a social movement demanding safer cycling condition for children and the oil crisis in the Middle East, when oil producing countries stopped their exports to Western Europe.
    To make cycling safer and more appealing, the Dutch have built the widest cycling net- work in the world. The country has over 40，000 kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths，which are clearly marked. They have smooth surfaces，separate signs and lights for those on two wheels. The lanes are wide enough to allow side-by-side cycling and passing.
    In many cities the bike lanes are completely segregated（隔离的）from motorized traffic. And in many traffic situations cyclists are given priority（优先权）over drivers. Sometimes， where space is limited and both must share, you can see signs showing an image of a cyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words "Bike Street：Cars are guests".
    As young people aren't allowed to drive alone until they are 18，cycling offers Dutch teen- agers an alternative form of freedom. The government also makes cycling training lessons a compulsory part of the Dutch school curriculum（课程）．
    Bike parking facilities are ubiquitous in the country. Cyclists are accommodated in the way motorists are elsewhere. Take Groningen, a city in the northeastern part of the Netherlands，for example. The city's central train station has underground parking for 10，000 bikes.
    小题1:We can conclude that in the Netherlands cycling is____．
    A．regarded as eco-friendly exercise
    B．thought of as part of people's life
    C．looked on as a way to lose weight
    D．considered as a way to entertain
    小题2:What can we learn about the Netherlands from the first paragraph?
    A．Most vehicles the Dutch use are buses.
    B．The native people cycle the best in the world.
    C．Everyone has one bike on average in the Netherlands.
    D．The number of bikes is larger than the population there.
    小题3:Which of the following made the government improve the cycling infrastructure?
    A．A large number of bikes.
    B．Hope for healthy life style.
    C．People's preference to bikes.
    D．Children's safety demand and lack of oil.
    小题4:The underlined word "ubiquitous" in the last paragraph means“＿，，．
    A．high qualityB．uniqueC．very commonD．special
    小题5:What does the Dutch government do about teenagers cycling?
    A．It makes cycling covered by school education.
    B．It encourages teenagers to cycle alone.
    C．It will watch over teenagers who ride bikes.
    D．It suggests teenagers cycling before driving.

    The dirt road made our car jump as we traveled to the Millennium Village in Sauri, Kenya. We passed the market where women sat on the dusty ground selling bananas. Little kids were wrapped in cloth on their mothers’ backs, or running around in bare feet and torn clothing. When we reached the village, we walked to the Bar Sauri Primary School to meet the people. Welcoming music and singing had almost everyone dancing. We joined the dancing and clapped（鼓掌）along to the joyful, lively music. The year was 2004, the first time I had ever been to Sauri.
    The Millennium Village project was created to help reach the Millennium Development Goals, which were set by the United Nations in 2000. The plan is to get people out of poverty, assure（确保）them of access to health care and help them stabilize the economy and quality of life in their communities. The goals are supposed to be met by 2015; some other targets are set for 2025. But our first sight of Sauri showed us there was plenty of work to do.
    On that day in 2004, we followed the village leaders into Yala Sub-District Hospital. It wasn’t in good shape. The rooms were packed with patients who probably wouldn’t receive treatment, either because the hospital did not have it or the patients could not afford it. There was no running water or electricity in the hospital. It is hard for me to see people sick with preventable diseases who are near death when they shouldn’t have to be. I just get scared and sad.
    Malaria（痢疾）is one disease, common in Africa, which is preventable and treatable. Mosquitoes carry malaria, and infect people by biting them. Kids can die from it easily, and adults get very sick. Mosquitoes that carry malaria come at night. A mosquito net, treated with chemicals that last for five years, keeps malarial mosquitoes away from sleeping people. Each net costs $5. There are some cheap medicines to get rid of malaria too. The solutions are simple, yet 20,000 kids die from the disease each day. So sad, and so illogical. Mosquito nets could save millions of lives.
    We walked over to see the farmers. Their crops started to die because they could not afford the necessary fertilizer（肥料）and irrigation. Time and again, a family will plant seeds only to have an outcome of poor crops because of lack of fertilizer and water. Each year, the farmers worry: Will they harvest enough food to feed the whole family? Will their kids go hungry and become sick?
    Many kids in Sauri didn’t attend school because their parents couldn’t afford school fees. Some kids are needed to help with housework, such as fetching water and wood. In 2004, the schools had minimal supplies like books paper and pencils, but the students wanted to learn. They all worked hard with the few supplies they had. It was hard for them to concentrate, though, as there’s no midday meal.
    Great changes have taken place in these years. Today, Yala Sub-District Hospital has medicine, free of charge. Water is connected to the hospital, which also has a generator（发电机）for electricity. There are no school fees, and the school now serves midday meals for the students. The attendance rate is way up. All this is encouraging supporters of the Millennium Villages project.
    There are many solutions to the problems that keep people poor. What it will really take is for the world to work together to change poor areas forever. When my kids are my age, I want this kind of poverty to be a thing of history. It will not be an easy task. But Sauri’s progress shows us all that winning the fight against poverty is achievable in our lifetime.
    小题1:In Paragraph 1, the writer describes the kids’ clothes to show that _________________.
    A．local children spent a lot of time outside
    B．local parents were not responsible
    C．local villagers were very poor
    D．local villagers were very friendly
    小题2: What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?
    A．Medical conditions.B．Agriculture.
    C．Education.D．Economy.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “minimal” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
    A．Many.B．Few.C．Colorful.D．Various.
    小题4:Because there was no midday meal in school, __________________.
    A．kids lacked energy to study attentively
    B．many kids dropped out of school
    C．kids made more efforts to study hard
    D．many kids had to go back home for lunch
    小题5:This story is mainly about _____________________________.
    A．the education in an African village
    B．the schools and hospitals in an African village
    C．the poverty and the progress of an African village
    D．the author’s car journey to an African village

    This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store where I am employed as a shop assistant.
    When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you. If you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be of much use to you.
    Actually I don’t care about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!
    I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers and notes that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?
    Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably threw it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.
    I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern life can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.
    小题1: In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to           .
    A．describe the contents of the bag in detail
    B．tell the thieves hardly any money was available
    C．state the fact that she was careless with the money
    D．give some suggestions to the three thieves
    小题2:Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?
    A．The cash in her bag.
    B．The handbag itself.
    C．The papers and notes in the bag.
    D．The check book in the bag.
    小题3:What can we conclude about the police?
    A．They are unable to find the thieves.
    B．They show sympathy to the woman.
    C．They have doubts about human nature.
    D．They think the case quite common.
    小题4: Why does the author write the letter?
    A．To give the thieves a serious warning.
    B．To express her affection for her valuable bag.
    C．To call people’s attention to their belongings.
    D．To complain about the fall of morality.

    Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work，others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute (分配) his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话).
    The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained ?10, 000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名) envelopes, each containing ?10, 000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
    The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least ?190, 000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of ? 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
    “I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
    The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
    "For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
    Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
    小题1:The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
    A．a churchB．a bankC．a newspaperD．a magazine
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
    A．The donation amounted to ?190, 000.
    B．The donation was sent directly to his house.
    C．The money will be used for his education.
    D．His mother felt astonished at the donation.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A．the donator is a rich old man
    B．the donation will continue to come
    C．the donation comes from the newspaper
    D．the donator will soon be found out
    小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.
    B．Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.
    C．Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes
    D．Robin Hood Returns to the City

    Writer Jean Stafford scoffed, “Happy  people don't need to have fun,” but studies show that the absence of feeling bad isn’t enough to make you feel good；you must try hard to find sources of feeling good. Research shows that regularly having fun is a key factor in having a happy life；people who have fun are 20 times more likely to feel happy.
    Recently, I noticed a pattern among activities that people find fun：Have a mission. There’s something about having a playful purpose，of trying to achieve something that makes an activity more fun.
    For example a friend told that she loved visiting flea markets（旧货市场）and antique stores to look for old globes-not fancy ones，but cheap ones. She has a rule that she'll never pay more than＄20. She’s the kind of person who loves wandering around in those kinds of shops in any case，but having a mission makes it more fun, less aimless.
    For that matter，having a collection of any sort is a very popular way to have a mission. You get satisfaction whenever you find another piece of blue sea glass on the beach or another out-of-print book by Charlotte Yonge in an old bookstore.
    Taking photos is a common way to incorporate(使并入) a mission into traveling. Not only does this help keep memories vivid, it also makes you more attuned（协调一致）to your environment while traveling. For example，during my most recent visit to New Haven，I had a lot more fun wandering around once I set myself the mission of taking tourist photos of my own romance.
    Why is this true? The First Splendid Truth holds that to be happier，you have to think about feeling good and feeling right，in an atmosphere of growth. The more I’ve thought about happiness，the more surprised I’ve been at the importance of the “atmosphere of growth.” I think this is a huge engine of happiness, and when you have a mission, you create an atmosphere of growth whenever you pursue that mission.
    Have you found a way to have a mission? What is it and does it boost your happiness?
    小题1:. According to the author, happy people____
    A．don't need to have fun
    B．don't have to be occupied with work
    C．can have 20 times more fun than others
    D．are always finding sources of feeling good
    小题2:. What does the underlined phrase “Having a mission" mean in paragraph 2？
    A. Have fun.                               B. Join in an activity.
    C. Find something interesting to do.           D: Hunting for a job.
    小题3: The author explains the key factor in having a happy life by____.
    A．making a comparisonB．presenting numbers
    C．stating common senseD．using examples
    小题4:. What will be probably the best title?
    A．How to live happily
    B．Where to look for fun
    C．The importance of feeling good
    D．Having a mission can make you happier

    You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
    “The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
    We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
    He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
    If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.
    When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
    New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
    Why are we so awkward in lifts?
    “You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the  Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
    In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.
    小题1:The main purpose of the article is to _____.
    A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator
    B．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette
    C．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
    D．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
    小题2:According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.
    A．turn around and greet one another
    B．look around or examine their phone
    C．make eye contact with those in the elevator
    D．try to keep a distance from other people
    小题3:Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

    小题4:The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.
    A．judgeB．ignoreC．put up withD．make the best of
    小题5:According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.
    A．someone’s odd behaviors
    B．the lack of space
    C．their unfamiliarity with one another
    D．their eye contact with one another
