    How to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children's literature. A child can make a whole alternative universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero's hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.

    Let's look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion. The story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king.

    What an amazing piece of children's literature! A treasure for every child's library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken's arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But more and more its audience are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in children's stories today than in the past.

    While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children's literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children's stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children's literature is just being strangely twisted（扭曲）. I wonder how much influence the authors have over this.

    1.The text is mainly about ____.

    A. two good books for children

    B. how a book is adapted into a film

    C. whether children should go to the movies

    D. whether children's movie is getting more violent

    2. It can be inferred that the film Where the Wild Things Are is ___.

    A. moving B. frightening

    C. interesting D. amazing

    3.According to the text, the author thinks that ____.

    A. the film industry's treatment of children's literature is wrong

    B. writers should provide more colorful works for children

    C. there is an increase in violence in children's literature

    D. children should read books rather than see films

    With courses on David Beckham and Harry Potter on offer at famous universities, it comes as no surprise that students are now able to learn the art of the perfect selfie(自拍）.

    The concept of taking selfies gained great popularity. It soon exploded on the Internet, and people started crazily to take images that had them as the primary item of focus. The trend became so popular that it even inspired a song,“SELHE” by the Chainsmokers, which racked up 267 million views on YouTube. In fact, Twitter declared 2014 as “the year of the selfie”.

    Just like the art of photography can be studied and improved, City Literary Institute, a well-known college in London, felt it needed to educate people on the fine art of taking the perfect selfie and officially started to offer a first-ever course on that.

    The four-session course will cost £132 (£106 for seniors), but the fee won’t even include a free selfie-stick, a tool that is rapidly gaining acceptance for serious selfie-takers. It is open to all enthusiastic and self-obsessed photographers.

    As part of the new course, self-absorbed photographers will be taught “valuable life skills^ to prepare themselves to face a world which could present a photo opportunity at any point. Apart from offering the much-needed but seldom-sought guidance on the best angles and lighting, the course promises to improve your critical understanding of the “selfie”. There will also be a brief exploration into the concepts of “identity, self-hood and memory” as well as the opportunity to “develop new ideas to you’re your photography more relevant to your aims,'

    But the selfie enthusiasts must be prepared to share their photos, as organizers said a critique(评论）of students’ work would form an important role in the learning process.

    1.Learning to take selfies at universities isn't a surprise because .

    A. taking selfies is popular nowadays

    B. many people take photos crazily

    C. the perfect selfie has exploded on the Intenet

    D. courses on some famous persons have been offered

    2.City Literary Institute offers courses on taking selfies to .

    A. attract people to study there

    B. teach people to master the art

    C. follow the latest fashion

    D. be the first to offer such courses

    3.What can be inferred about the course in the passage?

    A. It makes students get to know the concept of beauty.

    B. It offers the steps on how to take photos.

    C. Students taking the course are likely to take better selfies.

    D. Students’ critical understanding of selfie is promised to improve.

    4.Who can have access to the course on taking selfies?

    A. Anyone who shows passion for taking selfies.

    B. Anyone who is a full-time student of the college.

    C. Only young photographers who are interested in it.

    D. Only those who are good at taking photos.

    As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think. That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations(辞职), and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad, staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2014, when the economy was still booming along, job growth was only 132，000, while staff-turn over was 4.7 million!

    And as it turns out, even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

    I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job. It’s true that if total employment were higher. It would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.

    But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look；learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

    So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up．Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.

    1.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____.

    A. takes job opportunities from people

    B. prevents many people from changing careers

    C. does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening

    D. should not stop people from looking for a job

    2.What does the author say about overall job growth?

    A. It increases people’s confidence in the economy.

    B. It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.

    C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

    D. It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.

    3.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?

    A. Education B. Intelligence

    C. Experience D. Persistence

    4.What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?

    A．They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

    B．They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.

    C．They provide the public with the latest information.

    D．They warn of the structural problems in the economy.
