【题目】 As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knows,there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too,like the potential loneliness. No wonder coworking spaces are becoming so popular:they permit selfemployed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment,while making them get some work done too. But renting a coworking space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s underused homes into temporary coworking spaces,available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success,and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe,North and South America,Australia,India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free coworking space,or go to find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day,everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes,everyone gets up to take a break,stretch,do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards,people can gather around again,and restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day,as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour,potluckstyle (家常饭) or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe,“By working at Hoffice,we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment,where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm,happy,inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space;it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.
【1】What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.mistakesB.disadvantages
C.difficultiesD.burdens
【2】What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?
A.It is becoming increasingly popular.
B.It has been around for quite a few years.
C.It has created many new job opportunities.
D.It is suitable for people from all walks of life.
【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.How people respond to Hoffice.
B.How a Hoffice day works.
C.What people share at Hoffice.
D.What Hoffice means to people.
【4】Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they .
A.benefit a lot from the working style
B.work longer than before
C.expect more people to join them
D.can’t be separated from each other

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The day of the balloon festival, I felt as light as a hot-air balloon. This year I wouldn’t just be watching. I’d be riding in Mr. J’s truck, following the flight of the balloon and meeting it when it came down.
It was a perfect day. Dad and I drove down the road, circled along the lake and turned into the field that was being used as a parking area. Dad pointed to the lake. “That’s where the balloon festival will take place.” he said. We came to a stop and I got out of the car. And then I saw it, a white bird with black stripes, brown head, and skinny legs. It screamed and beat its wings in the dirt in front of the cars that were driving downhills. Its wings looked broken. Suddenly it cried bitterly and flew off.
“Dad,” I called, but my father was watching the balloons.
“It’s a killdeer(北美喧鹆).” A silver-haired old woman said to me, adding that there must have been a nest here somewhere. “In the parking area?” I asked. She nodded firmly. “It was a nesting place before it became a parking area. No one told the killdeer about the balloon festival!”
“Jack!” Dad called “Isn’t it time you went down to meet Mr. J?”
“I have got to go.” I said to the woman but she pointed with her walking stick. There, on the ground was a perfect nest of eggs, looking like pebbles(卵石). They were almost in the path of cars, trucks and motorbikes.
Suddenly, the parent bird was back to its nest and its wings both twisted again. “Jack!” Dad called again. “The balloons are ready to fly.”
“Dad! I am…” A truck roared over the hill. Brakes(刹车) screamed and dust flew. “What’s the matter?” asked Dad angrily from the truck.

I am grateful to my English teacher Susan, at whose help I couldn't have won first prize in the English Talent Competition for high school student last week.
I used to be poorly in spoken English. I was too shy to speak in class. Since she teaches us last term, she has been encouraging him to overcome fear and speak out in class. Thanks to her, I have made great progresses. Besides, I practiced several times in the front of her. It was her advice which made me a better speaker and full of confidence. But I owe my success to her.
Susan set a good example to me. I am determined to become an English teacher when I grow up.
