    He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
    I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers－that they make money from the misfortune of others.
    “I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me.” Be honest. What do you make?”
    I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson.
    You want to know what I make?
    I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
    I can make a C+feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure.
    How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best?
    I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
    I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
    I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
    Billy said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you?”
    And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.
    I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
    You want to know what I make?
    I make kids wonder.
    I make them question.
    I make them criticise.
    I make them think.
    I make them apologise and mean it.
    I make them write, write, write.
    And then I make them read.
    I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible.
    I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
    Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true:
    I make a great difference! What about you?

    I had this exchange with my 6-year-old last week．

           Him: Mom, we have to start buying Danimals．

           Me: Why?

           Him: So, I can bring it to |school for lunch．It's yogurt ．

           Me: Why do you want it so badly?

           Him: Because Danimals i|s giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations．

           I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation．It's a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificially-colored （人工着色的） yogurt that costs a lot．

           Marketing follows my kids —and yours—wherever they go ．It comes via TV commercials． Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids ．But the most powerful means in kids" lives is the presence of licensed characters on every product imaginable．

           Children can begin their day in character clothing．There's even character -themed wall paint available．A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste（牙膏）, character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel ．Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes．Check that, character clock on the wall: Is it time for characier-shaped fruit snacks yet?

           Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them．Most of us, of course, don't buy all those items．But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty （品牌忠诚）

           At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies．With so much marketing around us, it can be tough to stop the tide．

           "One thing that helps parents'is that they can talk to other parents about, this kind of thing," Linn suggested ．"If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing ．That way, if your child says．"Everyone's doing it," you can really have a sense of whether everyone is．" |

           B．buying Danimals may win a free tour

           C．the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt

           D．Danimals in the most popular yogurt among kids．

    It is "one of the few bright spots in the Chinese economy," says Zeng Ming． He is talking about e-commerce． Mr Zeng, the chief strategy officer for Alibaba, a giant Chinese Internet firm, predicts that digital transactions on his firm's platforms will top l trillion yuan （$159 billion） this year-more than Amazon's and eBay's combined． That is a bold claim, but consider what happened on Singles Sunday．

    Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the  llth day of the llth month （since l is the loneliest number）．It is like St Valentine's Day, only worse． Singletons shower each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets．

    This November llth they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba's online platforms-a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday （the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online）． About 100m purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day． Couriers（怏递员） were buried in parcels．

    So life is good for China's e-tailers, then? Not exactly． The number of digital marketers is increasing and online sales are booming． Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety． The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese e-commerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker． "Almost no one makes money," she says．

    The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricks-and-mortar（实体的） rivals．Dangdang, a firm． that resembles Amazon,．and 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely． Tencent, a cash-rich online giant known for its instant-messaging software, is splashing out to win market share． 360buy has also just raised $400m from investors to do the same． But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital．

    1.What's the best title of this passage?

    A．The Ambition of Alibaba

    B．Fierce Competition between Retailers

    C．A Newly Sprung Festival for the Singles

    D．Chinese Booming and Developing E-commerce

    2.According to Zeng Ming, this year Alibaba will        ．

    A．outweigh Amazon and eBay in worldwide influence

    B．rank top among all the Internet firms

    C．have more than 159 billion dollars' sale

    D．create another sales miracle just like the one on Singles Day

    3.How many packages were shipped on November ll th from Alibaba's online platforms?

    A．About 80 million．                      B．About 100 million．

    C．About 125 million．                     D．About 180 million．

    4.What's the author's attitude towards online retailers in China?

    A．Optimistic．                           B．Concerned．

    C．Sympathetic．                         D．Indifferent．

    阅读理解。
         Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families. They may want to move out of the
    family home for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea
    to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
         "It was the break I need at the time," said Richant Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living
    with grandmother when he was 15.
         "It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents," Lerner said. He now heads the
    Institute (学会)for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University. Experts say teens living away
    from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions
    to problems.
         This is different from running away, the experts stress (强调). Runaways are often feeing serious
    problems.
         Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for
    a while with a relative or with the family of a friend. If there is a conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live
    elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
         Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the
    late years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times. "In the 17 th century, children were often sent to
    live in other people's homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
    1. When children seriously disagree with their parents, experts suggest that parents should____.
    A. punish them
    B. let them live for a while away from their families
    C. send for a doctor
    D. keep them in the house
    2. The underlined word "structured" means"______".
    A. built
    B. played

    3. In the 17th century,_______.
    A. teens never left their families
    B. teens never made friends with each other
    C. teens never went to school
    D. teens often left their parents
    4. Nowadays living away and running away from home_______.

    B. often worry parents and teachers
