The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest,before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear?headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
1.The brown bear approached the family in order to .
A. catch shore birds
B. start an attack
C. protect the children
D. set up a barrier for itself
2.The bear finally went away after it .
A. felt safe
B. got injured
C. found some food
D. took away the camera
3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their .
A. pride
B. patience

Essay is optional and no penalties(处罚) for wrong answers.These changes will take place in SAT college exam.The changes include the use of some words more commonly used in school and on the job instead of the words such as “prevaricator” and “sagacious”.
College Board officials said the change is needed to make the exam better representative of what students study in high school and the skills they need to succeed in college and afterward.The new exam will be rolled out in 2016, so this year’s ninth graders will be the first to take it, in their junior year.The new SAT will continue to test reading, writing and math skills, with an emphasis on analysis.Scoring will return to a 1,600-point scale last used in 2004, with a separate score for the optional essay.For the first time, students will have the option of taking the test on computers.
They also said many students who are terrified they will be tested on lots of SAT words currently can ask for help: practicing with flashcards.They know flashcards are not the best way to build real word knowledge that lasts, but when the SAT rolls around they become the royal road.Students stop reading and start flipping.
The essay will be changed in other ways, too.It will measure students’ ability to analyze and explain how an author builds an argument and it will also be up to colleges whether the essay will be required.Each exam will include a passage drawn from “founding documents”: such as the Declaration of Independence or from discussions they’ve inspired.Instead of testing a wide range of math concepts, the new exam will focus on a few areas, like algebra, thought to be most needed for college and life afterward.A calculator will be allowed only on certain math questions, instead of on the entire math portion(部分).
Jim Rawlins, the director of admissions at the University of Oregon, said the changes will potentially help the students but it will take a few years to know its influence, after the students go on to college.He said some colleges are still dealing with questions about the changes made in 2005, such as how to consider the essay portion.The criticism of the SAT is that students from wealthier families do better on the exam because they can afford expensive test preparation classes.
The SAT was taken last year by 1.7 million students.It has historically been more popular on the coasts, while the other main standardized college entrance exam, the ACT, dominated the central U.S.The ACT took over the SAT in total use in 2012, partly because it is taken by almost every junior in 13 states as part of those states’ testing scheme(方案).
ACT president Jon Erickson said when hearing of the SAT changes, his reaction was that they could’ve been talking about the ACT now.“I didn’t hear anything new and different, so I was a little left wanting, at least at the end of this first announcement,” Erickson said .
Bob Schaeffer, education director at the National Center for Fair & Open Testing, or FairTest, said it is laudable(值得称道的) that the SAT will provide free test preparation, but it is unlikely to make a dent in the market for such preparation.He also said the new test is unlikely to be better than the current one.His organization has a database with institutions that don't require ACT or SAT scores to make admissions decisions.
1.We can learn from the third paragraph that flashcards_________.
A. will become the only way to test words
B. can help students get ready for SAT words
C. can help students memorize the words forever
D. are the best way for the students to get high scores
2.SAT exams will be less required in 2016 with the purpose of _________.
A. getting more students interested in the entrance exam
B. making it easier for students to be admitted into colleges
C. offering chances for the students to be tested on every subject
D. testing the students better on the knowledge and skills they’ve learnt
3.The change in the 2016’s SAT college entrance exam include the following EXCEPT that _________.
A. students will use calculators if they get stuck in certain math questions
B. some words that are uncommonly used won’t appear in the exam
C. students will be given the chance to take the test on computers
D. students will be tested on a wide range of math concepts
4.According to Jim Rawlins, _________.
A. the changes are mainly aimed at students from the rich family
B. the changes will force students to give up writing essay
C. the changes will probably have some bad influence
D. the changes will be of no benefit to students
5.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the ACT ?
A. It is more popular in the coastal cities.
B. More than 1.7 million students took it last year.
C. Jon Erickson felt worried about the SAT changes.
D. It has been the most popular college entrance exam so far.

Socrates-an ancient Greek philosopher
Socrates was an ancient Greek philosopher, who helped to shape Greek beliefs. The ideas he created are present in our culture today.
Socrates was a person full of curiosity. From the time he was a young man, Socrates searched for wisdom and truth. He gained wisdom by asking questions. Many people in Athens thought that they had answers. Socrates asked them questions and argued with them about different topics. He did not think they had the knowledge they claimed to have.
Socrates challenged false ideas people had about things like justice, love, or courage. He would break down the ideas people held.Then he built new and more accurate ideas. Socrates felt that this was what philosophy was all about. Since then, many great philosophers have used this method to find truth.
Throughout his life, Socrates showed no interest in money. He was also not interested in material items. Socrates would allow groups of men to listen to him speak. And he would never take money from them. He always wore the same clothes whatever the season. Socrates argued that his life was better because he had no material wealth. He felt he enjoyed his food more. he said he was stronger and healthier because he was not affected by the weather. He believed happiness came not from having more but from wanting less.
By the end of the fifth century B.C Athens was not a great city anymore. Politicians betrayed Athens. Socrates had made many people angry over the years. He had always expressed his opinions when he thought laws and policies were wrong. Athens had a new group of political leaders in power, who didn't want to hear Socrates‟comments” about them. They thought Socrates had a bad influence on the young people of Athens. Socrates was also accused of not worshipping the right gods. Charges were brought against Socrates.The politicians wanted to condemn Socrates to death. Socrates’ friends told him to leave Athens. They thought this was the only way for him to save his life. Socrates refused. He did not behave as most people in his situation would.
Socrates said that he had always lived by the rules of Athens and he would continue to do this.He insisted on standing trial for his "crime". Socrates knew he was not guilty of anything. The reason why he was charged was because he was different from others. Although people respected him, he also had made many people angry, so the jury(陪审团)said Socrates was guilty.
When faced with the death penalty, a person could leave Athens forever. Most people chose leave rather than die. Socrates was not like most people. Instead of telling the jury that he would go, he told them he deserved a reward. Socrates believed he had done a great service by making people think. Socrates said that he tried to "persuade every one of you not to think of what he had but rather of what he was, and how he might grow wise and good." The jury did not change its mind. Socrates was executed. He died when he drank hemlock, which is poisonous.
Socrates was the first great Greek philosopher. He also helped to shape other philosophers that came after him. Plato, who got his start by studying with Socrates, and Aristotle, who studied with Plato, also changed Western civilization. Asking questions to discover the truth is still practiced today. And schools even today still teach this method to students.

When looking at Western Europe,we don’t usually think about poverty—but in fact,some people in modern—day Britain are so hard up that they can’t afford to buy food.
Back in 2008,the financial crisis caused a lot of unemployment.Then there were the cuts to the welfare system in 2013 which added to the problem—and many British people fell into debt.It’s estimated that 500,000 people in the UK have turned to food banks,just to get by.
Steph Hagen,who works in a Nottingham food bank,says, “People do not go to a food bank because it's an open door.It’s a case where they go to it because they need to.With our food bank—we are an independent one.and we have limited stocks—everyone who comes through our door has no income.”
There are checks to make sure nobody is abusing the system.If a doctor or a social worker thinks someone needs to use a food bank—even for a short time—they can give them vouchers(凭证).Then the people in need take them along to the food bank and they get handouts for three days.
Churches and individual donors provide most of the food in the banks.But some businesses might help out too.
And what sort of food is offered in food banks? Hagen says, “Basically,we’ve got porridge.We do occasionally get fresh produce but it’s very rare,especially in the winter months.It’s like tinned fruit,tinned ready meals.We have to give out ‘no-cooking’ food parcels because people can’t afford the gas and electricity”.
Community spirit has a lot to do with food banks.Volunteers say they are a great meeting place for people who are lonely and depressed.And when facing a crisis,some beneficiaries might need to feed not only their belly—but also their soul.
1.According to the text,the food bank is a place_____.
A.which is funded by the government
B.where people can get food randomly
C.which helps poor people live through crisis
D.where there is enough food supplies
2.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Systems. B.Doctors.
C.Social workers. D.Vouchers.
3.Why do food banks mainly offer “no-cooking ” food?
A.Poor people have no money for gas and electricity.
B.The volunteers hate to supply cooked food.
C.Food banks can’t afford cooked food.
D.This kind of food is easy to store.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Community spirit can cure those who are depressed.
B.Food banks benefit poor people mind and body.
C.People can have great fun in food banks.
D. Volunteers tend to feel lonely and depressed in food banks.
