    4．I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free．But eight months ag our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed．No problem，I thought：we'll buy another．But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that，with the loan （贷款） we'd need plus petrol，insurance parking permits and tax，we would make a payment as much as£600a month．
    And that's when I had my fancy idea．Why not just give up having a car at all？I live in London．We have a railway station behind our house，a tube station 10minutes'walk away，and a bus stop at the end of the street．A new car club had just opened in our area，and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby．If any family in Britain could live without a car，I reasoned，then surely we were that family．
    But my new car-free idea，sadly，wasn't shared by my family．My teenage daughters were horrified．What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"？（I wasn't that bothered what they thought，and I suggested the girls should take the same approach．）
    My friends，too，were astonished at our plan．What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital？（an ambulance） How would the children get to and from their many events？（buses and trains） People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas，before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity．
    Eight months on，I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again．The ideathat you"have to"own a car，especially if you live in a city，is all in the mind．I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport，and yet car ownership has never been higher．We worry about rising car costs，but e'd be better off asking something much more basic：do I really need a car？Certainly the answer is no，and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question．
    28．The author decided to live a car-free life partly becauseC．
    A．most families chose to go car-free          
    B．he was hurt in a terrible car accident
    C．the cost of a new car was too much         
    D．the traffic jam was unbearable for him
    29．What is the attitude of the author's family toward his plan？B
    A．Supportive．
    B．Disapproving．
    C．Optimistic．
    D．Unconcerned．
    30．What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends'opinion？D
    A．Argue against it．
    B．Take their advice．
    C．Think it over．
    D．Leave it alone．
    31．What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life？C
    A．Life cannot go without a car．
    B．Life without a car is a little bit hard．
    C．His life gets improved without a car．
    D．A car-free life does not suit everyone．

    14．Never go into a supermarket hungry!This is a good piece of advice．If you go shopping for food before lunchtime，you'll probably buy more than yo u plan to．Unfortunately，however，just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days．Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store．First，you check the weekly newspaper ads．Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things．In other words，don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual!"New and Improved!"or"All Natural"on the front of a package influence you．Instead，read the list of contents on the back．Third，compare prices，that is，you should examine the prices of both differ ent brands and different sizes of the same brand．
    Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary item s instead of famous brands．Ordinary items in supermarket s come in plain packages．These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising．The quality，however，is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands．In the same way，in buying clothes，you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous．Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money．Although these stores aren't very attractive，and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms，not only are the prices low，but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores．
    Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials，but they do this with one advantage：knowledge of the psychology behind the ads．In other words，well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation．They ask themselves questions：Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page？Is there any real information in the commercial（商业广告），or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image？With the answers to these questions，consumers can make a wise choice．
    32．All the following statements are true about the phrase"ordinary items"in Paragraph 2 exceptD．
    A．ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands．
    B．producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items．
    C．the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands．
    D．ordinary items never say"New and Improved"or"All Natural"．
    33．What does the writer think about ads？C
    A．They are believable．
    B．They are attractive．
    C．They are helpful．
    D．They are harmful．
    34．One of the author's suggestions to consumers isB．
    A．to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands．
    B．to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping．
    C．to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch．
    D．not to buy items with words like"New and Improved"or"All Natural"．
    35．The author implies thatA．
    A．advertisements sometimes don't tell the truth to the consumers．
    B．discount clothing stores are only good places to go to for shopping．
    C．going into the supermarket hungry，you may buy less than you plan to．
    D．the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low．

    16．A new survey conducted by the National Geographic Society （NGS） shows that although consumers in many countries are adopting environmentally-friendly behavior，others live in wasteful cultures of consumption．
    The 2014online survey of 18，000people in 18countries judged environmental attitudes and habits-and their sustainability-when it came to housing，transportation，food and consumer goods．
    1．Some consumer behavior is improving．
    In half the countries surveyed，people acted in more environmentally-friendly ways than they had in 2012．For example，Russians are using more public transportation and British consumers are buying more green electricity．
    But some countries reported that people's habits were less sustainable than in the previous survey．Around 68percent of Germans drink bottled water daily，and Canadians are among the most likely to own at least two car or trucks．
    2．Anxiety about the environment is growing．
    A slim majority of consumers-51percent-agree that global warming will negatively affect their own lives．Latin Americans are the most concerned，with more than three in four Brazilians convinced that climate change will impact them personally．
    3．Americans resist going green．
    Nearly one in four American households owns four or more TVs．Americans are also among the most likely to avoid paying extra for environmentally-friendly products，and they consume more packaged and processed food than people in most other countries．And since the 2012survey，more Americans are saying that they view owning a big house as an important goal in their lives．
    4．The least green feel the least guilt．
    As in past surveys，the worst offenders express the least guilt about the size of their environmental footprint．British，German and Swedish consumers not only feel the least regret but also are the most likely say they won't change their ways．
    5．Repairing，reusing and recycling are on the rise．
    Majorities in 17of the 18countries say they'd rather repair than replace a broken item，with Chinese and German consumers the most likely to fix something and Japanese consumers the least likely．American and French consumers are the most likely to buy used items； Canadian，British，and Australian consumers are the biggest recyclers．
    29．The author's purpose in mentioning Germans isD．
    A．to say that dinking bottled water is not environmentally-friendly at all
    B．to point out that bottled water is a less sustainable product
    C．to emphasize that Germans should change their habits
    D．to explain that people in some countries have some less sustainable habits
    30．Which of the following is TRUE about the survey results？B
    A．Japanese consumers are among the biggest recyclers．
    B．The majority of Brazilians believe climate change will affect their lives．
    C．Chinese and Canadian consumers like to repair broken items．
    D．Used items are popular with French and British consumers．
    31．What can we learn about Americans from the passage？B
    A．Three in four American families don't have TV sets．
    B．Many of them dream of owning a big house．
    C．They think green products are too expensive．
    D．They prefer packaged and processed food to health food．

    13．Tips for Shortening Homework Time
    Homework can be a long，hard task for many students．（36）FStaying focused on the task at hand?while avoiding distractions?（干扰）is another struggle that many students face．Here are some strategies you can try to make homework time shorter and easier．
    1．Power down electronics．While students think they?may need their computers for completing their assignments，devices can often be more of a distraction than helpful tools for getting homework done quickly．（37）G
    2．Get a little exercise!Before beginning any homework，try having your child dance to music，or even do a few push-ups．（38）DThey will also help students finish homework in a more efficient manner．While some students are fine starting their work right after school，others benefit from this type of physical activity before beginning their school work．
    3．（39）ASome students might prefer a desk in their room，while others may use a table in an office space or play room．Any of these choices work fine，as long as they are in a quiet area with minimal noise．
    4．Arrange break times wisely．（40）CAnd they will reward themselves with a break after each part is complete．For instance，they might start with their first assignment．Once that is complete，they can give themselves a five-minute break for a snack．But make sure the break doesn't extend beyond the limited time．With these strategies，your child will become more efficient and can complete homework much faster．

    A．Find a quiet area to work．
    B．Look for a desk or a table to use．
    C．Students often divide their homework assignments into several parts．
    D．These types of physical exercises will help increase alertness and?focus．
    E．Doing some physical exercises can contribute to good health．
    F．Sometimes the simple task of sitting down and getting started can be a challenge．
    G．Encourage your child to power them off，and only use them when necessary．

    14．I Was the Doughnut Lady

    doughnuts
    In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee． Situated on a block where several buses stopped，it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus．
    Every afternoon around four o'clock，a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop，and business would come to a stop． Adults would glance in，see the crowd and pass on． But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside． Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing-always repaid the next day． On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts． I would lock the door at closing time，and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived．
    I enjoyed my young friends，but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives-until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o'clock． He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites．
    "I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children． I worry about them taking two buses to get home． It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them． When they are with the doughnut lady，I know they are safe．"I told him it wasn't a big deal，and that I enjoyed the kids．
    So I was the Doughnut Lady． I not only received a title，but became a landmark．
    Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children． They become，well，Doughnut Ladies． Like the men at the skating rink （滑冰场），who let my boys ring home； Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up； Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work-even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors．"Was that a police car I saw at your house last night？"
    That wasn't a police car． That was a Doughnut Lady．

    59． According to the passage，the author sometimesB．
    A． sold bus tickets to the children
    B． gave the children free doughnuts
    C． did business with the children's help
    D． called the children's parents to pick them up
    60． By saying"…it wasn't a big deal （Para． 4），"the author meant thatA．
    A． she hadn't done anything significant
    B． she hadn't spent much time with the children
    C． she hadn't made a lot of money from the children
    D． she hadn't found it hard to get along with the children
    61． What can we learn about the police officer？C
    A． He took the boys to the police station．
    B． He helped the boys look for their mother．
    C． He drove the boys back home in a police car．
    D． He managed to make sure of the boys'identity．
    62． The passage suggests thatD．
    A． running a business requires skill
    B． taking responsibility is a moral virtue 
    C． devotion should be everything in life
