About a month ago, I was walking alone on the beach in the evening. I have already finished my homework, and I wanted to relax. Suddenly, I saw two children stand on the beach. They seem to have found something made of metal, which was big and reddish?brown. When I took a look at it, I knew immediate that it was an old bomb! I told them to move away the bomb. Fortunately, I had a mobile phone around with me, so I called the police and told them that had been found. About 15 minutes late, the police arrived. I was praised for it but then I went home. The next day, I heard that the police had blown the bomb up. It had been on the sand for over 60 years!

If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?
According to Science Daily, about one?third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called “materialists”， namely, those who value material goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier?
Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.
But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they?
To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.
As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn't fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell's surprise, he found that materialists weren't any happier even if they spent money on material items.
This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society，” said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.”
Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don't have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.
If you happen to be a materialistic person, there's something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier，” Howell said.
You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
1.What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?
A．Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.
B．About one?third of the people prefer material goods to experiences.
C．Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences.
D．Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.
2.What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?
A．How to judge whether a person is a materialist.
B．Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.
C．How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.
D．Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.
3.Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?
A．To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.
B．To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.
C．To prove it's unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.
D．To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.
4.What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Are You a Materialist?
B．How To Acquire Happiness?
C．The Best Present for the Birthday
D．Which Can Make People Happier?

The saying “a penny for your thoughts” is an English idiom simply asking people to volunteer their opinions on an issue being discussed. In modern usage, it is often stated as an indirect way of asking what someone is thinking about.
This phrase is basically a proposal (提议), and the speaker is offering to pay to hear the listener's thoughts. It is an idiom, of course, and not meant literally (字面上地) so no real payment generally takes place.
When the saying originated, a penny was worth a lot more than it is in the 21st century.Therefore, “a penny for your thoughts” likely indicated the thoughts were more valuable to those asking the listener for them than they are by today's standards. This loss of value can be used ironically (讽刺地), however, through tone (语气) of voice; it can be used to indicate that someone's idea is bad or worth a penny in modern value.
The phrase is generally credited to a man by the name of John Heywood, who was born sometime just before the 16th century. During his life, he was a writer who penned many plays and a book in 1546, later known as The Proverbs of John Heywood. It is likely that Heywood did not actually come up with the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”. Rather, he was simply the first person to have set the phrase down in written form. The actual origins of the term are unknown, and since his book was simply a collection of common idioms and expressions, it was probably familiar to people in the mid 1500s.
Another phrase similar to “a penny for your thoughts”is offering “your two cents” after making a statement. Someone might give his or her opinion and then say, “that's my two cents，” to indicate the value of his or her idea. While, much like a penny, “two cents” is relatively low in value now, it would have been more valuable at one time and the expression is used in much the same way.
1.When someone says “a penny for your thoughts”， he or she________.
A．wants to ask you for advice
B．considers your thoughts unique
C．is curious about what's on your mind
D．will pay for what you're thinking about
2.The modern meaning of “a penny for your thoughts” ________.
A．is more closely connected to the value of the penny
B．can differ greatly according to a speaker's tone of voice
C．can confuse the listener easily
D．is more popularly accepted

A．He came up with it while he was writing.
B．He helped to explain the origins of it.
C．He contributed to the wide use of it.
D．He was the first person to use it.
4.What do we know about the phrase “your two cents”？
A．It is usually used at the end of a statement.

Washington D．C. is No.1
It is best known as a city of monument. In the middle of traffic circles or on street corners, you'll find statues, plaques (匾牌), and simple blocks of marble there. They honor the people who helped shape the US.
And on Oct. 20, Lonely Planet, one of the world's largest travel guides, named Washington D．C. the No.1 city in its list of “Best in Travel 2015”．
“The year 2015 is a fantastic year to visit Washington D．C.，” Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, told The Guardian. “The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (暗杀) makes this year big for Washington D．C. The famous top hat of America's 16th president and the gun that fired the deadly shot will be on display. Add that to its incredible eats, performing arts and museums. The nation's capital is looking better than ever.”
There are a lot of free museums in the city. When British scientist James Smithson died in 1829, he left a will giving his money to the United States to open a museum at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution. It has turned out to be a wonderful gift, and the institution now covers 19 museums. And of course, no Washington tour is complete without seeing the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court, which are home to the three pillars (核心) of the
US government. But there is more to explore in the center of the US power. It is a city you can walk across, with wide?open avenues, old neighborhoods, and river views.
And as USA_Today notes, diversity is another reason to “fall in love with the city”. “There is a lot of diversity in Washington D．C., seen in its people, its neighborhoods and its landmarks. From Chinatown to Little Ethiopia, visiting the nation's capital is like seeing the world in one trip，” said the newspaper.
1.One of the reasons why Washington D．C. is worth a visit in 2015 is that ________.
A．food and performing arts there are much better than anywhere else in the world
B．the top hat of 15th president of America will be on show in the year 2015
C．seeing the museums will make your tour in Washington D．C. complete
D．the diversity of the city offers you an opportunity to see more in one trip
2.Which of the following details is RIGHT according to the article?
A．The 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination makes the tour more worthwhile.

Many of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG). Nearly all such lands are economically well developed. They include much of Europe (including Russia), the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. As the rate of natural increase (RNI) declines, two things happen. First, the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration. Second, a country's population ages because there are fewer births.
Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country's population begins to drop? Many people, after all, believe that population decline is a good thing. But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?
An aging population can create many problems. Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention. Rather than paying into retirement programs, they begin to draw from their pensions. In the US, the Social Security program, according to many experts, will be used up by 2018. It will pay out more money than it takes in. Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or able to do them. Many of these jobs are entry?level positions that pay low wages. With an aging population, who will fill them? At the other extreme, some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills. Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?
The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple: increased migration. Today many people, particularly those from less developed countries, are migrating in search of employment. Many are willing to take jobs that cannot (or will not) be filled by the_domestic_population. Others are well educated and highly skilled. Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways. Further, they add to the richness of a country's culture. Of greatest importance, perhaps, is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands. As you can see, for many countries and for most immigrants, migration is a win?win situation.
1.In the writer's view, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good.
B．Achieving ZPG is every country's aim in spite of its side effects.
C．Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens.
D．Achieving ZPG is good for employment.
2.According to the passage, the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ________.
A．to improve the health care system
B．to increase RNI
C．to increase employment
D．to increase migration
3.The underlined words “the domestic population” can be replaced by ________.
A．people within the country
B．people from developing countries
C．people without a college education
D．people living abroad
4.The main idea of the last paragraph is ________.
A．the advantages of increased migration
B．the problem of declining and aging population
C．how to increase migration
D．some ways to enrich a country's culture

Parents on South Australia's Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) lands may lose some of their financial aid if they do not send their children to school. The new rules draw wide concern.
Mundine is Prime Minister Tony Abbott's top advisor on issues concerning Aboriginals, native Australians. “Now, I know the government needs some necessary measures but I think punishing the parents is really the last choice.” Mr. Mundine says the situation can be changed if the tribal leaders support education. “We need to work with parents and communities because we are making a huge cultural change here.” But other officials say they believe the threat of stopping aid will force families to take education more seriously.
The State of South Australia says it has special programs for Aboriginal children. The students work with their parents and teachers first to develop a personal learning plan and the public schools provide special workers to work individually with Aboriginal students. At the age of seven, Aboriginal students can join a program called Enter for Success designed to attract students to school. The students can choose which high school to attend and receive support in reaching the goals on their individual learning plans.
The State of Western Australia also has special programs for Aboriginal and other ethnic (种族的) groups. The state operates a program called Focus Schools which centers on basic skills like reading, writing and counting. 67% of these public focus schools serve the students in 79 very rural areas. Most of them are primary schools. The Focus Schools program also includes 118 coaches working with students in 134 schools.
1.What's the aim of the new regulations?
A．To develop advanced education.
B．To improve Aboriginal children's school attendance.
C．To get tribal chiefs to support education.
D．To punish parents on South Australia's Aboriginal lands.
2.To change the situation, Mr. Mundine may not agree with ________.
A．cooperating with the parents
B．limiting the economic aid of the families
C．winning the favor of the communities
D．making a cultural change in the communities
3.It is known from the statistics in the last paragraph that ________.
A．the special program is a success
B．the special program covers every area of Australia
C．the government has tried to help with the Aboriginal education
D．the government has taken action to promote the elementary schools

“Tiny”
Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.
“Magic”
Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
“The Mailman”
Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time.

“The Iceman”
