When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street." That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble (卑微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

Many parents often say their teenage son looks like a grown man.He is taller than his father,and his voice has turned deep.But his behavior is another matter.He makes hurried decisions, tries to smoke and drink,drives cars too fast and always makes his parents annoyed.Why?
That's because his brain is developing more slowly than his body.Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health and UCLA carried out a long?time study of normal brain development.They found that the frontal lobe (大脑额叶 ),the area responsible for understanding future influences,making wise decisions and controlling impulses(冲动),does not become mature (成熟的)until the early 20s.
Because of the immature brains,teenagers are easily influenced by the environment and unexpected behavior.So their death rates rise sharply.Research shows that rates of death by injury for people between the age of 15 and 19 are six times those seen in kids aged 10 to 14.The government reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a car accident and three times more likely to die in one.
Teens may be attracted to drugs and alcohol.Rates of drug and alcohol use are high when compared with those of other age groups.Frances Jensen and David Urion,doctors at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School,discovered that adult brain cells recovered (恢复 ) more quickly from alcohol influence than younger brain cells.Jensen said in Harvard Magazine: “For a teenager,what he drank on the weekend is still with him during that test on Thursday.”
Teens aren't making trouble on purpose.They long for freedom,but they are still young.They're still forming into the adults they'll eventually be.And,of course,they won't be at this age forever.Home education plays one of the most important roles in young people's growth,and the influence is most lasting.Finally,they will grow up and become wise adults.
1.Which of the following is NOT the typical behavior of a teenage boy?
A. Driving cars too fast.
B. Making their parents annoyed.
C. Quarreling with their friends.
D. Making careless decisions.
2.Teens death rates rise sharply because of their ________.
A. immature brains
B. brave and impatient character
C. small and cheap cars
D. changeable environments
3.From the last paragraph,we can make the conclusion that ________.
A. teenagers should have freedom to do what they like to do
B. teenagers still require lots of care and attention from their parents
C. teenagers usually make their parents annoyed on purpose
D. teenagers actually know how to make wise decisions

科目:高中英语 来源:山西省孝义市2017届高三下学期考前热身训练英语试卷 题型:阅读理解
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modem buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空调的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight mate genius.
1.The heat in the heating system of the Johnstown campus is supplied ________.
A. by human bodies
B. by both human bodies and other heat-giving objects
C. by both human bodies and commonly used fuel
D. by human bodies, commonly used fuel and other heat-giving objects
2.According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ________.
A. to find the producers of heat
B. to provide heat for the hot water system
C. to make the campus more beautiful
D. to collect heat and reuse it
3.The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ________.
A. the person who suffers most from heat
B. the person who needs more heat than others
C. the person who gives off most heat
D. the person who makes better use of heat
4.Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A. A New Heat Recovery System in Pitt
B. Modern Building’s Heat System
C. Body Heat and Its Producers
D. Ways of Heating Building
