    Suppose you don't need your car today.And suppose，as it happens that a stranger in your area does need a car.Would you be willing to rent yours out?
    Several car­sharing start­ups，including Getaround，RelayRides and JustSharelt，are eager to connect car owners with renters this way.The companies have different rules，but participating owners receive，generally speaking，about two­thirds of the rental earnings.RelayRides says an owner of a mid­size，late­model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about $ 3,000 a year.
    Peer­to­peer car­sharing remains in the trial stage；it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places.It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the  surprise success story for peer­to­peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.
    Shelby Clark，founder of RelayRides，says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers.To address that，he points to Airbnb，saying，“Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car.”
    All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters，which are supposed to put owners' minds at ease.But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed  laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car­sharing renter have an accident.
    “In all the other states，legal ambiguity remains，” Shelby Clark says.“If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states，the victim can be expected to go after every party possible，including the car's owner.”
    Also to remove the worries of car owners，the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations..
    小题1:What does the underlined word “sedan” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
    A．A kind of car.
    B．An owner of a car.
    C．A renting company.
    D．A car­sharing renter.
    小题2:Which of the following is true of Aribnb?
    A．It cares little about personal privacy.
    B．It deals with house­sharing successfully.
    C．It is a very popular car­sharing company.
    D．Its ideas are being tried out in some states.
    小题3:If a car­sharing renter should have an accident in California，the car's owner ________.
    A．has to take legal responsibility
    B．will not suffer the consequence
    C．is not covered by health insurance
    D．must pay the insurance for the renter
    小题4:According to the text，more car­owners will participate in the service，if ________.
    A．legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states
    B．renters are warned not to violate traffic rules
    C．more money is given to participating owners
    D．people are aware of the importance of sharing
    小题5:It can be learned from the text that car­sharing ________.
    A．makes no profit
    B．remains in popularity
    C．is against the state law
    D．is a new business model

    小题1:D
    小题2:A

    小题4:A
    小题5:D
    本文主要介绍了现在美国兴起的一个共同使用小汽车的新兴行业。
    小题1:　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“an owner of a mid­size，late­model”及画线词后面的“who rents out a car”可推知，这里指的是“一种中型、新型的小汽车”，所以答案为A项。
    小题2:　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb，the surprise success story for peer­to­peer sharing of space in apartments and houses”可知，Airbnb是一家成功进行房屋共享的公司，故答案为B项。
    小题3:　细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car­sharing renter have an accident.”可知，在California和Oregon两个州，如果租用者出了事故，车主是不会受到任何影响的，故答案为B项。
    小题4:　推理判断题。根据第六段的内容可知，现在在美国的许多州，法律在关于共同使用小汽车这一点的规定上还是很模糊的，所以影响了这个行业的发展，如果把这些法律上模糊的情况明晰化的话，越来越多的车主将会参加这个活动。
    小题5:　推理判断题。通读全文可知，共同使用小汽车是一个新兴的行业。

    Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person，according to a new study．
    In case anyone needed proof, a new study supports the widely held perception：Famous people are more narcissistic(自我陶醉的)，which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is．That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young of the University of Southern California，whose study of 200 celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality．
    It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists，the study found．Rather, it suggests，the self-adoring(自恋的)people seek jobs in show business．The study, whose subjects were a11 celebrities from Pinsky’s‘Loveline’radio show, found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities．Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics．
    It’s “common sense” that celebrities are narcissists，said Jeremy Ritzlin，a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study．“Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves，”he said．“So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight，where other people will also think highly of them．”
    Pinsky, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC’S Keck School of Medicine，said narcissists desire attention，are overconfident，behave strangely and lack sympathy．“However, they are easily-liked，especially on first meeting，are outgoing and perform well in public，” added Pinsky, who has hosted the radio show“Loveline”for 20 years．
    Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study．They anonymously(匿名地)took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．which rates self-love levels based on seven components：superiority, exhibitionism，entitlement，vanity，authority, exploitativeness，and self-sufficiency．
    小题1:Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study?
    A．The women stars．B．The men stars
    C．The average people．D．It is not mentioned in the passage．
    小题2:According to the forth paragraph．the fact “celebrities are narcissists”             .
    A．is common in the entertainment industry
    B．is a misunderstanding of Jeremy Ritzlin
    C．is known to most of the people
    D．is unreal on the stage
    小题3:According to Pinsky, narcissists may NOT               .
    A．hope to attract attention
    B．be kind to poor people
    C．believe in themselves
    D．be liked by others easily
    小题4:How were the celebrities surveyed in the study?
    A．They were interviewed by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young．
    B．They were invited to the University of Southern California．
    C．They appeared on Pinsky’s‘Loveline’radio show．
    D．They took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．
    小题5:The author of this passage wants to tell US               ．
    A．how psychologists make a study
    B．how entertainment industry produces celebrities
    C．how people think of the famous stars
    D．how celebrities feel about themselves

    One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood． Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores at home and so on． It’s not easy．
    The good news is that being likeable can help a child perform better． Likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to cope（对付） more easily with stresses of growing up．
    In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr． Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others． This leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress; a child who has adequate emotional armor can continue down the path to success． Much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy self-awareness．
    Why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? Because likeability helps create what’s known as a positive feedback loop（回馈圈）． The positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and motivation to deal with the daily stress of life．
    This feedback loop continues into adulthood． To return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality． Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good ratings because of their likeability or because they in fact taught well． Delucchi found that “Students who perceive（察觉） a teacher as likeable, in contrast to（比照） those who do not, may be more attentive to the information that the teacher delivers and they’ll work harder on assignments, and they will learn more．”
    You may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to give some advice． The more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words．
    小题1:The writer implies in the first paragraph that __________．
    A．children are expected much than we usually think
    B．life is not easy for every one of us
    C．better education results in smarter children
    D．to be a likable child is almost impossible
    小题2:According to Dr． Leonard, likeable children __________．
    A．can cope more easily with stress independently
    B．know how to avoid trouble and unpleasant events
    C．are always optimistic and ready to help those in need
    D．can achieve more and understand themselves better
    小题3:The term “emotional armor” in paragraph 3 means __________．
    A．mental support from friendsB．mental support from adults
    C．failures in lifeD．ability to handle life stress
    小题4:The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find __________．
    A．if a likeable teacher has a positive personality
    B．if a likeable teacher draws more attention
    C．how a teacher’s likeability gains popularity
    D．how a likeable teacher’s teaching style is formed
    小题5:The passage aims at proving that __________．
    A．likeable people do better in life generally
    B．likeable people do better in their childhood
    C．social creatures enjoy more advantages
    D．likeable people give better advice

    The phenomenon is becoming more and more popular that human beings have developed a closely relationship with the most dangerous of animals－Kevin Richardson treats lions like kitty cats，Andre Hartman has a special bond with Great White Sharks and now there is 79­year old Werner Freund who has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves.
    While details about how and why the former paratrooper(伞兵) became attached to these beautiful wild animals are a little summary，he has been tending them in his 25­acre Wolvespark located in the German province of Saarland，since 1972.While he currently has a group of 29，over the years he has raised almost 70 wolves belonging to all breeds(种属) ranging from Siberian to Arctic，Canadian，European and even，Mongolian.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own.They nuzzle(依偎) against him，play with him and are generally sheeplike when he is around，just like they would be around a head wolf!
    This，however，is not accidental－It is a position that Werner works on establishing and maintaining with a simple act，every single day－Whenever it's feeding time，he calls his wolves to come for the raw meat by howling.As the hungry animals rush to get their food，they are always met with this scene－Werner sinking his teeth into the raw meat first.While this may sound a little rude，that is how the position of hierarchy(等级) is established in the animal world.It is always the leader male that gets the first meal and only when he signals，can the rest join in.Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.
    While wolves，the largest member of the dog family，are believed to be dangerous，they rarely attack humans.Werner says that in reality，they are beautiful gentle souls，whose reputation has been tarnished，by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!
    小题1:We can know________from the first paragraph.
    A．all lions like Kevin Richardson
    B．Great White Sharks are dangerous animals
    C．only some specialists can live animals together
    D．Werner Freund accompanies wolves day and night
    小题2:What's the best title of the passage?
    A．Human beings can get along well with animals
    B．Werner Freund and his famous Wolvespark
    C．Werner Freund treats his wolves like friends
    D．Ex­paratrooper shares special bond with wolves
    小题3:We can infer that the wolves treat Werner Freund________．
    A．peacefullyB．respectfullyC．fearfullyD．fondly
    小题4:When Werner Freund feeds his wolves，________．
    A．he whistles loudly
    B．he bites the meat firstly
    C．wolves challenge his authority
    D．wolves eat all their foods.

    America’s Beauty Is in Its Diversity
    America is built on the idea of freedom, and there is no exception for Muslim women. I     the freedom of religion and speech. But mostly, I believe it’s OK to be      , and to stand up for who and what you are. So I believe in wearing the hijab.
    The hijab is a religious head covering, like a scarf. I am Muslim, and keeping my head covered is a       of maturity（成熟）and respect toward my       and to Allah’s will.      , I also like to wear it to be different. I don’t usually like to do what everyone else is doing. I want to be a(n)      , not just part of the crowd. But when I first wore it, I was also afraid of the       that I’d get at school.
    I      on my own that sixth grade was the       I should start wearing the hijab. I was      about what the kids would say or even do to me. I thought they might make fun of me, or       be scared of me and       my headscarf. Kids at that age usually like to be all the same, and there’s little or no       of differences.
    On the first day of school, I put all those       thoughts behind my back and walked in with my head held high. I was holding my breath a little, but       I was also proud to be a Muslim, proud to be wearing the hijab, proud to be different.
    I was       about everything I thought the kids would say or even do to me. I actually met a lot of people because of wearing my head covering. Most of the kids would come and ask me questions —    — about the hijab and why I wore it.
    I did hear some kid was making fun of me,       there was one girl—she wasn’t even in my class, and we never really talked much–and she spoke       me, and I wasn’t even there! I made a lot of new friends that year, friends that I still have until this very day, five years later.
    Yes, I’m different, but everyone is different here, in one way or another. This is the      of America.

    Some passengers won’t turn off their mobile phones or iPads during takeoff or landing. It happens on almost every         now. It’s time to turn off personal electronic devices when the plane’s door        . However, there’s always at least one person who keeps talking, texting, playing, watching or emailing — and         strict orders to power down during flights.
    “People have become so         to those devices, and a lot of people         whether they really need to turn them off,” says an airhostess from Southwest Airlines.
    Is turning off the devices really         in the first place? Lots of passengers have doubted about the         of leaving devices on. They think one cell or message or game isn’t going to         down the plane.
    Indeed, there’s no         scientific evidence that having devices powered on during takeoff and landing would cause a        , only that there is the potential of a problem.
    In the US, pilots are allowed to use certain electronic devices during takeoff and landing, but if passengers’       devices are tested at the same time, it may lead to wrong warnings and         readings on the aircraft instruments. In some studies researchers found mobile phones could         global-positioning satellite systems or other aircraft systems. Though the effects are         slight, they could result in disaster.
    If even the         possibility of disaster exists, it’s better to turn them off during takeoff and landing.

    In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
    　　We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.
    　　Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
    　　After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. A 1940 book “The Unemployed Man and His Family”, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.” He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.
    　　The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain. Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
    　　Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
    　　Today’s economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it’s only when the economy is healthy again that we’ll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
    小题1:In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to __________.
    A．tear many troubled families apart
    B．bring about a drop in the divorce rate
    C．contribute to enduring family ties
    D．cause a lot of conflicts in the family
    小题2:In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because_______.
    A．starting a new family would be hard
    B．they expected things would turn better
    C．they wanted to better protect their kids
    D．living separately would be too costly
    小题3:In addition to job losses. What stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce?
    A．Mounting family debts
    B．A sense of insecurity
    C．Falling housing prices
    D．Difficulty in getting a loan
    小题4:What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples?
    A．It will irreparably damage their relationship
    B．It will undermine their mutual understanding
    C．It will help strengthen their emotional bonds
    D．It will force them to pull their efforts together
    小题5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
    A．The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate
    B．Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships
    C．A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
    D．Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage

    At age 11, Ghulam was married off to 40-year-old Jaiz in a rural Afghan village, making her only one of more than 10 million young girls who are being forced to wed men old enough to be their fathers of grandfather every year.
    In an effort to start a global conversation about the devastating effects of early marriages, which are currently practiced in more than 50 developing countries, the United Nations designed October 11 as International Day of the Girl Child this year.
    Although child marriage is against the law in many countries, and international treaties forbid the practice, it is estimated that about 51 million girls below age 18 are currently married, often under the cover of darkness and in secret. In Afghanistan alone, it is believed that approximately 57 percent of girls wed before the legal age of 16.
    Various factors drive parents of child bridges to marry off their daughters, from the community’s pressure to confirm to age-old cultural customs to economic considerations. In poor, developing nations, it is not uncommon for families to settle debts by offering their daughters as payment.
    Experts agree that early marriage denies the girl education and robs them of their childhood because most young wives, burdened by grownup responsibilities, do not get a chance to interact with their peers or carry on friendships outside the household. In many cases, the girls are lorded over by their husbands and in-laws, leaving them vulnerable(易受伤害的) to domestic violence as well as physical, sexual and verbal abuse. Underage wives who are lucky enough to escape from their husbands end up living in poverty, or worse. Most girls who enter early marriages are expected to get pregnant right away, which often leads to tragedy for both the mothers, who are still children themselves, and their babies.
    Unless international organizations take steps to reverse the troubling trend, it is estimated that over the next decade, 100 million more girls—or about 25,000 girls a day ---will marry before they turn 18.
