Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
1.For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____.
A. improving worker's houses
B. providing the children with a good education

A. into a rich family B. into a noble family
C. into a poor family D. into a middle class family

There are a lot public holidays for Chinese people, such as National Day, May Day, and Children’s Day. But I think we should have other holiday——Farmers’ Day. Firstly, China is a agricultural country. Farmers really play a very importantly role in China. They provide food for us, without which we cannot to live. Secondly, farmers offered a lot to the development of industry. Lastly of all, most farmers work hard, with little time to enjoy themselves. Some people look down upon farmers so they think farmers do not have many knowledge. I suggest that there should be a Farmers’ Day to show respect for these 900 millions farmers in China.

I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.
Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.
I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.
We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help
you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”
Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you” when you say “thank you”, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle of the modern flight.
1.What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?
A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.
2.How did the author like her roommate’s job?
A. It was the same as hers.
B. It was more interesting than hers.
C. It was easier than hers.
D. It was more serious than hers.
3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?
A. Because she has nowhere to go.
B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.
C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.
D. Because she’d like to earn more money.
4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?
A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.
B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.
C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.
D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

The Asuncion zoo is looking for a mate for Coco, an endangered hyacinth macaw (蓝紫金刚鹦鹉), and it is the last known male of his species left in Paraguay.
Coco was sent to the zoo eight years ago. A recent DNA test showed that he is male. Zoo worker Celia said, “To avoid mixing species, the zoo has had to keep him apart from the other macaws, which has left him lonely and bored.” “He is quite sociable, although he has only learned to say ‘Hello’, but when he hears music, he dances” Celia said.
He has a yellow circle around his eyes that set off the rest of his blue feathers. He is more or less a cousin to Blu, the macaw that starts in the movie, Rio. That species, cyanopsitta-spixii(小蓝金刚鹦鹉), is all blue and even more endangered than the hyacinth macaw.
Like the bird in the movie, scientists hope to find Coco a mate to rebuild the species. Because international laws against animal training are now so strict, nobody is willing to lend the zoo a female. The best solution is to find a female hyacinth macaw in our country. Celia said, “there are at least two other known hyacinth-macaws but without DNA test, it is impossible to know if they are female, and the owners are not willing to help, because the mating process can take some time and be a little hard on females.”
1.From the text we know that Coco ________.
A. is the last known hyacinth macaw
B. lives apart from the other macaws
C. has adapted to being left alone
D. can say "Hello" when he hears music
2.Why is it difficult to find a mate for Coco?
A. Because there is no known female macaw in Paraguay.
B. Because the international laws are against Coco mating.
C. Because the DNA test on female Coco takes time.
D. Because nobody is willing to hunt for a female.
3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. Coco stars Rio in a movie
B. Coco has only blue feathers on his body
C. Coco is the most endangered macaw
D. rebuilding the Coco's species will take time
4.Which of the following would be the best title?
A. Coco, a Rare Macaw-in Asuncion Zoo
B. Asuncion Zoo Is Seeking a Mate for Coco
C. Hyacinth Macaws Are Endangered in Paraguay
D. Coco, the Only Known Male Macaw in Paraguay

When Luke went to university he thought he would be on a new journey in life and getting his own place. In the UK, it’s common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. Many choose a flat-share; others make plans to get on the property ladder.
But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum’s house at the age of 27. And he’s not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2013.
Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans. He’s upset. "There’s something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you’re still a child," he says. "It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally."
Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at "the hotel of Mum and Dad".
Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather terrible conditions, sharing the family’s three-bedroom house with her sisters. She says they end up getting on each other’s nerves when it’s time to use the bathroom in the morning.
Of course, living with your parents is not unusual in some countries. Economic conditions, culture, or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married. Even then, it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couples continue to live at one of their parents’ homes.
But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home. Janice’s daughters are part of what’s being called "the boomerang generation". She says, "I get to share their lives with them, and I’ve got to know them all as adults. We have the sort of conversations that good friends do."
So for some it’s a win-win situation — spending time with your families, and saving money.
1.How is the passage developed?
A. By listing figures
B. By making comparisons
C. By analyzing causes
D. By giving examples
2.We can learn from the passage that.
A. living with parents is common in some countries
B. all the parents enjoy living with their children
C. the author approves of children’s living with parents
D. Janice belongs to a group called "the boomerang generation"
3.What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. They get on very well with each other.
B. They shout at each other angrily.
C. They finally make each other annoyed.
D. They are unwilling to share with each other.
4.What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade children into living on their own after getting married.
B. To show the present situation of young people living with their parents.
C. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents.
D. To present the problems young adults may face after going to university.
