【题目】My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas,little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here,her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.
One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.
I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then.
That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.

【题目】【改编】Can you believe everything that you read? It seems as if every day, some new articles come out about a new discovery about this or that. For example, water is bad for you, or good for you. The answer depends on which scientific study has just come out. People cannot decide which food items are healthy, how pyramids were constructed, and why dinosaurs disappeared. When we look for answers we sometimes can believe persuasive researches and scientists. But how trustworthy are they really? Here are two examples of scientific hoaxes.
As far back as 1726, Johann Beringer was fooled by his fellow scientists into thinking he had made an amazing discovery. The fossils of spiders, lizards, and even birds with the name of God written on them in Hebrew were unlike anything that had been found before. He wrote several papers on them and was famous for those only to have it revealed that they were planted by jealous colleagues to ruin his reputation.
When an early human being was discovered in 1912, scientists at this time were wild with excitement over the meaning it had for the theory of evolution. There were hundreds of papers about this Piltdown man over the next fifty years until it was finally discovered to be a complex hoax. The skull (头骨) of a man had been mixed with the jawbone of an orangutan (猩猩) to make the ape (猿) man.
The next time you read the exciting new findings of a study of the best scientist, do not automatically assume that it is true. Even qualified people can get it wrong. While we certainly should not ignore scientific research, we do need to take it with a grain of salt. Just because it is accepted as the truth today does not mean it will still be trustworthy tomorrow.
【1】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Everything in the newspaper is doubtful.
B. People are encouraged to suspect everything.
C. Not everything you read is believable.
D. Sometimes scientists may make mistakes.
【2】What does the underlined word “ hoaxes” mean?
A. Truths. B. Tricks. C. Researches. D. Result.
【3】From the second paragraph we can know______.
A. Johann Beringer was envied by his colleagues.
B. Johann Beringer lived in the seventeenth century.
C. Johann Beringer found the Piltdown man.
D. Johann Beringer found he was fooled by others in time.
【4】According to the passage ,the discovery of Piltdown man______.
A. was significant to the theory of evolution.
B. proved orangutan developed from man.
C. didn’t prove false until 50 years later.
D. proved that scientists were very careless.
【5】From the last paragraph we can infer the author thinks_____.
A. scientists are unreliable.
B. everyone can make a mistake.
C. we should ignore scientific research.
D. we should treat scientific research reasonably.

【题目】 People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.
In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we’re looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.
Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are' making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers , but don’t replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.
“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident, ”Kendall said. He said , “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to los control. It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”
Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.
【1】According to the passage, California Governor Jerry Brown ______________.
A. is for the idea of having driverless cars
B. sponsored the DARPA competition to improve the driverless system
C. has already bought a new autonomous car
D. thinks that driving safety is the most important issue in his state
【2】 What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. They can help cars run much faster.
B. They can take the place of drivers now.
C. They can make cars run without fuel.
D. They can help people drive more safely.
【3】In Kendall’s opinion, who probably don’t rely on the driverless cars at first?
A. managers in the high-tech company Google
B. officers from the U. S. government agency DARPA
C. car consumers
D. vehicle designers
【4】According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?
A. They need to have more comfortable seats .
B. They are now too expensive for consumers.
C. They are travelling at a low speed.
D. They are not favored by car racers
