    Bars are very important in providing a place where people can meet and make friends. People who enjoy a drink in a local bar are happier and have more friends. They are more likely to be engaged in conversations in small community pubs, and social skills improve after a drink.

    Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University said, “Friendship and communities are probably the two most important factors influencing our health and well-being. Making and maintaining friendships is something that has to be done in the real world. The digital world is simply no substitute(n.替代物). Given the increasing tendency for our social life to be on the Internet rather than in real life, having relaxed, accessible places where people can meet old friends and make new ones becomes even more necessary.”

    Tim Page, chief executive of CAMRA, said, “Bars offer a social environment to enjoy a drink with friends in a responsible community setting. The role of community bars in ensuring well-being cannot be overstated. For that reason, we all need to do what we can to ensure that everyone has a ‘local’ near to where they live or work.”

    Bars have long been part of British society and have played a key role in British social life since the 16th century. Bars came to represent the heart and soul of a community, providing both a place of entertainment and an engine for community bonding. In a world before the arrival of the motor car, the bar provided a venue in which people could get friendships and a sense of community.

    But the closing decades of the 20th century witnessed major changes in both the style of bars (for example, themed bars) and their numbers. As of 2015, the number of bars declines sharply, with bars continuing to close at an average rate of 29 a week.

    1.What does a regular(n.常客) at a local bar having more friends prove?

    A. The benefits brought by pub cultures

    B. The popularity of local bars in Britain.

    C. The relation between friendships and bars

    D. The importance of face-to-face communication.

    2.What does Robin think is the tendency for social life?

    A. More people will go to bars.

    B. People will maintain friendships

    C. People will trust the digital world

    D. People will communicate more online.

    3.Why does Tim Page value the role of local bars?

    A. They contribute to people’s social happiness.

    B. They are a place common people can afford.

    C. They are a good place to spread cultural values.

    D. They are accessible to people in the community.

    4.What can we infer about bars nowadays?

    A. Themed bars have held the market

    B. Some bars have a hard time surviving.

    C. They become the heart of a community

    D. Measures should be taken to save them.

    My husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard. We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.

    It’s true that if you are starting from fresh, it will cost a little bit of money to get started. However, once everything is set up, the cost is very small and the rewards are huge. The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year. We do a lot of juicing, so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.

    There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables. Vegetables out of your vegetable garden don’t get any fresher, tastier or more satisfying. The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.

    Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one. We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥). The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems. No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds. Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干预) or having plants sown in rows, so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.

    By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules. What can I say? We’re such rebels.(叛逆者）

    1.What does the author think about people growing their own vegetables?

    A. It is a rewarding activity. B. It is costly in the beginning.

    C. People should devote many efforts. D. People should share their tips.

    2.What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 4 mean?

    A. Create. B. Imitate(模仿).

    C. Protect D. Improve.

    3.Why does the author call her and her husband “rebels”?

    A. They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.

    B. They don’t buy vegetables from the market.

    C. They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.

    D. They don’t grow ordinary vegetables.

    4.Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (P: Paragraph)

    A. B.

    C. D.

    Nowadays, there are a lot of films and TV plays that are adapted to popular novels or classical work. Some people think better to read the original, while others are against it.

    I think reading the original is too much better than watching its film or TV version because I can experience more after reading the original. Just as a famous saying go, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eye. Different people have different feelings about the book or a certain role. But in the film or TV version, though we can get a main idea more direct, we may miss some wonderful, even important plots. And we are easily misled by the actors or actresses, so they act according to their understand of the book.

    In a word, I think reading the original is much better than watching its film or TV version.

    Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.

    “Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”

    This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.

    It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.

    As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.

    So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.

    1.What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?

    A. be refused by B. be beneficial to

    C. make a difference to D. receive support from

    2.What are the advantages of robot pets?

    a. They are plastic and feel smooth.

    b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.

    c. They can help cure allergies(过敏).

    d. They save space and costs.

    A. ab B. bc

    C. bd D. cd

    3.We can learn from the passage that___________.

    A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.

    B. People can develop strong bond(联系、关系) with their robot pets.

    C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.

    D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.

    4.The passage mainly tells us___________.

    A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot pets

    C. living pets are dying out. D. robot pets are coming.
