【题目】A day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice, homework. And then he starts cooking.
“Some nights I’m up until I am making pies, or even later if we’re braising (蒸) beef,” said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida, US.
For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster’s parents’ home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.
Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them, until the pair decided to do something nice for charity (慈善).
“We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets (小物件),” Lanster said. “But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.”
Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities (社区) to cook and make healthy eating choices.
The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster’s parents cover their food costs. After their last 12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave $1,600 (10,600 yuan) to the charity.
Now, they’re taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. Lanster and Moran have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model: the host pays for the ingredients, and the guests make a donation to a charity of their choice.
Without formal (正规的) training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was very young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs.
Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing their college applications. Neither is sure what they will do in the future, but they’ve promised their parents that they’ll leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.
【1】How is Lanster’s life different from other teenagers’ lives?
A. He stays up late to finish homework.
B. He plays baseball every day after school.
C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.
D. He holds dinner parties to collect money for charity.
【2】After each dinner party, Lanster and Moran ______.
A. receive thank-you cards from the guests
B. cover the food costs with the money they have collected
C. ask their guests to donate money to charity
D. visit the poor children at Common Threads
【3】Which of the following about Lanster and Moran is TRUE?
A. They received formal cooking training before starting their dinner parties.
B. They hate going to school and trying to do something different.
C. They’ve made up their minds to become professional chefs.
D. Their way of giving to charity is different from others.
【4】Which of the following words best describe Lanster and Moran?
A. Creative and helpful. B. Humorous and optimistic.
C. Outgoing and patient. D. Confident and cautious.

Inside the Rain Room
The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling.

【题目】With the development of our society, cell phones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on We Chat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name-phubbers (低头族).
Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities (身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors’ words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
【1】Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2?
A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world
B. To call for people to go walking without phones
C. To tell people of the bad effects of phubbing
D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this
【2】According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have?
①Destructing the world
②Affecting his social skills
③Damaging his neck and eyesight
④Getting separated from his friends and family
A. ①②④ B. ②③④
C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive B. Confident
C. Disapproving D. Optimistic
【4】What will be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing B. Bad effects of pudding
C. Daily life of phubbers D. Methods of phubbing
