I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
1.What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A. He never watched TV.
B. He read what he had to.
C. He found reading unbelievable.
D. He considered reading part of his life.
2.The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A. an idea B. a sound quality
C. a way of writing D. a world to write about
3.What effect does reading have on the author?
A. It helps him to realize his dream.
B. It opens up a wider world for him.
C. It makes his college life more interesting.
D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A. Why do I read? B. How do I read?
C. What do I read? D. When do I read?

Nobody likes having to deal with an upset child. If your little one is hurt, scared or sad, your heart breaks for her. If she’s mad, it can make you mad. You want to be there for her and comfort her, but the best way to do that will depend mainly on two things: why she’s upset and how old she is. Be calm and open-minded when trying to comfort your upset child.
Try to find out why your child is upset, because that affects how you should respond and what will be most effective in trying to comfort her. Take her aside and sit down to talk on her level, physically and emotionally. Be sure she knows she has your complete attention while she’s telling you about the friend who wouldn’t share her new toy and so on. Even if you’ve got 20 other things you need to get done, make yourself take a break and focus on her for a few minutes.
Listen carefully to what your child says, and also pay attention to what she’s not saying. If she says she’s upset because “she hates her stupid school”, you must “choose to accept it” — to read between the lines. Maybe she’s struggling with her studies, or the teacher scolded(责备) her in front of everybody. Patiently listen and try to draw her out so you know what kind of problem you’re dealing with.
Sometimes just knowing someone hears her pain goes a long way toward comforting an upset child. Don’t make excuses or blame others, just let her know her feelings are natural and understandable. Give her permission to feel sad for a little bit or even cry a little, and give her a big hug. Then help her think of ways to get over the hurt and refocus her attention on another activity or friend.
1.What is the purpose of the author in the passage?
A. To show an upset child is very tough.
B. To share his experience of keeping a child.
C. To tell how to comfort an upset child.
D. To get advice on how to raise a child.
2. When faced with an upset child, the parents________.
A. may feel at a loss(不知所措)what to do next
B. should turn to experts for advice
C. should keep him company all the time
D. will easily get angry and frustrated
3.When parents have a talk with their child patiently, she can .
A. focus her attention on the talk
B. understand her parents easily
C. talk about her new toy with you
D. open her heart to the parents
4.The underlined part in the passage means to________.
A. advise her to tell the reason
B. drive her out of home
C. take her to the outside
D. blame her

Asia-Pacific consumers are the world's largest group of online shopping lovers and many rely on Internet reviews when making purchases, research firm Nielsen said this week.
The firm said 35% of consumers in Asia-Pacific used over 11% of their monthly spending to make online purchases, compared to a global average of 27% of consumers.
South Koreans were the heaviest online buyers in Asia, with 59% directing more than 11% of their monthly spending to online purchases, followed by 41% in China, Nielsen said in a report.
A further 31% of Asian consumers use between 6% and 10% of their monthly shopping purchases to buy items online.
More Asia-pacific consumers also intend to buy online in the next six months than those from other regions, with South Koreans and Chinese the most likely to make such purchases.
Among the purchases consumers in the region are likely to make in the next six months are books, clothing, shoes, airline tickets, electronic equipment and hotel reservations.
"Technology and the Internet will very likely basically change how and where shoppers spend their money and interact with sellers,” said Pete Gale, a managing director at Nielsen's Retailer Services.
"We are seeing a strong trend in markets like Korea, where a significant population of online shoppers buy essentials such as groceries, cosmetics and nutrition supplies over the Internet."
Nielsen said opinions posted online were important in Asia-pacific customers' decisions to buy products such as cosmetics, cars, software and food.
Asia-pacific consumers were also the most likely to share dissatisfaction at a product on the Internet compared with consumers elsewhere.
"The increasing accessibility of the Internet and unbelievable popularity of social media and online discussion forums mean today's brands have nowhere to hide, " said Megan Clarken, Asia-Pacific managing director at Nielsen's online division.
Nielsen said in June that social media such as Facebook and Twitter or blogging sites had become powerful tools influencing what people buy and urged businesses to embrace the trend.
1.What influences Asia-Pacific consumers most when making purchases online?

Do you like somewhere a little bit different to the usual types of places you find on the high street? I do,so I’m glad to see new ones popping up(冒出)everywhere in London.
The so called pop-up shop is a temporary arrangement.In the aftermath(余波)of the financial crisis of 2008,many businesses had to shut down.Shops,warehouses and offices were left vacant when they stopped trading.Pop-up enterprisers occupied some of them quickly. For them the appeal of this temporary shopping concept is clear:they can start a business with much 1ower risk.The temporary nature of a pop-up shop gives the opportunity to test a product and develop a customer base,without being tied in to a long-term renting contract. Being small makes it much easier for pop-ups to expand if they are successful·
Pop-up shops first appeared in the UK in the early 2000s,with the economy booming. They were originally a way for small companies to rent retail space(零售场所)in great locations. This was while landlords who owned these spaces looked for permanent renters.
Pop-up shops can take a number of different forms.They might be temporary shops in the high street or a shopping centre.They might be simple market stalls(摊位). They could be based in some kind of transport,like a food truck.Or they could be run by people who visit different establishments,like travelling chefs who take over pub and restaurant kitchens temporarily.
According to a report by the Centre of Economic and Business Research,the pop-up industry was worth£2.1bn and is expected to grow by 8.4%this year.Almost anything that can be on a high street can also be a pop-up.There have been pop-up shops,art galleries,theatres and restaurants among others.In an age of fast-changing habits,the pop-up idea might be here to stay.
