There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home.
On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”
“My first desire is that，” said Alexander, “my physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn (撒满) with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The King continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes？”
Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.
“The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.
“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty?handed into this world and empty?handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.
1.The first paragraph suggests that Alexander ________.
A．was conquering many kingdoms
B．realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all
C．wanted to leave as he came empty?handed
D．regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things
2.The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．
A．sentence B．attention
C．control D．shadow
3.The author intends to ________.
A．tell us the story of Alexander

D．persuade people to realize what Alexander said
4.What would be the best title for the passage?

The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行术语). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called “click bait”．
A headline on Business Insider reads：“This phrase will make you seem more polite”. First, when you click through, you find another headline：“Four words to seem more polite”. Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're “Wow, that sounds hard”. On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as “Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus”. It turns out that it's just some uneventful dog footage (连续镜头)．
Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people's time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @ SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.
Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click?saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted “So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but ...”， with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: “...it hasn't been jailbroken yet.”
Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said，“@ SavedYouAClick is just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible.” Asked about his goal, he said，“I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.”
1.The article on Business Insider turns out to be________.
A．useful suggestions on politeness
B．an essay about another topic
C．an article hard to understand
D．a link to a video website
2.Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?
A．Social media has become more popular.
B．Readers have questions to be solved.
C．Such headlines are fairly attractive.
D．There're always stories behind them.
3.Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ______.
A．criticize CNET
B．save readers' time
C．advertise Apple's new product
D．tell readers something about iOS 8
4.In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that ________.
A．publishers should be more responsible for the link
B．readers think about their needs before reading
C．publishers provide more information for readers
D．people work together to make the Internet less terrible
