Dear mum and dad,
I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize I won last year. I have to
remind yourself constantly that I am real in AD 3008. Worrying about the journey,
I was unsettled for the first a few days. As a result, I suffer from “time lag”. This
is similar with the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems that you keep getting
flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and uncertain
at first. However, Wang Ping, my friend and guide, were very understanding
but gave me some green tablet which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise,
his parents company transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.
…
Yours,
Li Qiang

Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found．
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year．Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day．The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie．It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang．
Three quarters of people think women are better liars．The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men．
The second most common fib is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars and Big Issue sellers．“Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”．
Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place．Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”．“I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten．
In many cases perhaps it is better to delight someone with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for One Poll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults．He added: ‘As a nation we just like trying to be nice and not upsetting people．Often little white lies can cover what we actually want to say．Most of these were considered completely harmless．’
1.“You look lovely” and “Sorry, I had no signal” ranked __________ on the popular-lie list．
A．fourth and tenth B．fourth and first
C．third and tenth D．third and first
2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

The uninvolved dad, turning up his nose at diapering(换尿布) and too busy to bathe, dress and play with his kids, is mostly a myth(神话) , a big government survey suggests. Most American fathers say they are heavily involved in hands-on parenting, the researchers found.
The results are encouraging and important " because others have found the more involved dads are, the better the outcomes for their children. " said researcher Jo Jones of the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. She co-authored the report released Friday.
"Times have changed," said Robert Loftus, 34, of Yonkers, NY. He quit a six-figure sales job a year ago to care for his two young children while his wife works full time. "We are trying to rethink our priorities (优先考虑的事) and family seem to be N0 1 priority while in the past maybe people were more focused on career. "
The study involved nearly 4.000 fathers who were interviewed in person between 2009 and 2013.
◇ Key findings among fathers living with children younger than 5 :
*9 in 10 bathed, diapered, helped them use the toilet or get dressed at least several times weekly .
* Even higher numbers played with them and ate meals with them that often
* Almost 2 0ut of 3 read to them at least several times weekly.
◇Among dads living with kids aged 5-18.
* More than 9 0ut of 10 ate meals with them at least several times weekly and talked with them about what happened during the kids' day that often.
* Almost 2 0ut of 3 helped with homework several times weekly.
* About half took their kids to or from activities that often.
Dr. David Hill, a Wilmington, N. C. pediatrician (儿科医生) said the survey reflects what he's seen among his patients' fathers. Increasingly, fathers rather than mothers take their kids to the doctor. Some "are anxious about changing a diaper, " he said.
Census(调查) numbers show that there were almost 190,000 stay-at-home dads nationwide last year versus 93,000 in 2010. Loftus, the New York stay-at-home dad, said, "I feel fortunate to be able to be such a hands-on father. I'm doing the most significant occupation in the world. "
1.What can we learn about the research?
A. It aimed to study fathers' influence on kids.
B. It showed most fathers often helped kids learn.
C. It found most fathers played with kids every day.
D. It mainly surveyed fathers' living with young kids.
2.According to the text, Robert Loftus would agree that______.
A. time is important for success
B. it is harder to find a job than before
C. family is more important than work
D. today's people are under much pressure
3.Dr David Hill seems to consider the findings of the report ______ .
A. surprising B. misleading
C. convincing D. unimportant
4.What can we learn from Loftus' s words in the last paragraph?
A. He is proud of his efforts.
B. He prefers to work full time.
C. He needs his wife' s support very much.
D. He finds it hard to be a stay-at-home dad.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.
After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent （月状的） structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.
The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.
The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas （小游艇船坞） are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts （桩柱） in the water.
The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.
More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.
Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will also maintain Dubai’s status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.
1.According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT___________.
A．Some Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea.
B．The islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea．
C．All the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold.
D．The World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeriah．
2.The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means___________．
A．holds back B．makes easier
C．slows down D．leads to
3.What is the passage written for?
A．To introduce the wonderful artificial islands.
B．To show how to build artificial islands.
C．To offer a travel service for tourists.
D．To prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world.
