Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera. I'm always trying to capture those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom's room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can't wait,” I said. The next day I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting?” I asked.
She just smiled. “You'll have to wait and see.”
Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.
1.The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Paragraph 1 means _____.
A. talking often B. suggesting indirectly
C. sending presents D. taking pictures

A. Her mother couldn't understand her at all.
B. Her mother didn't buy her any Christmas gift.
C. She mistook her sister's Christmas gift for hers.
D. She didn't find her present in her mom's room.
3.We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment
B. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas
C. Stacy thought it's OK to have an old camera
D. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve
4.What would be the best title for the passage?

B. Love is more important than gifts

D. Love can not be bought

Computer power is moving into the “cloud”—networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis.
The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this week’s $67 billion merger (合并) between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively (分别), was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud. Disruptive (捣乱的) newcomers are blooming: if Amazon’s cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.
The gains for customers have been equally dramatic. Compared with older IT systems, cloud computing is often much cheaper. It adds tremendous flexibility: firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software. In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes. Their applications can be updated continually, rather than just every few months. Individual users can reach their e-mails, files and photos from any device. And cloud services also tend to be more secure, since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers.
But cloud computing makes one problem worse. In the old IT world, once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database, it was difficult and costly to switch to another. In the cloud this “lock-in” is even worse. Cloud providers go to great lengths to make it easy to upload data. They accumulate huge amounts of complex information, which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider.
Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services, software and devices, which is convenient but only for as long as you don’t venture (冒险) outside their universe. Being locked in to a provider is risky. Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices. If a cloud provider goes bust (崩溃), its customers may have trouble getting back their data.
These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation. Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them. That is too heavy-handed, because strict rules will inhibit (阻碍) innovation in what is still a young industry. The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers’ demands—just as in personal computers, where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems.
In the meantime, a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in. Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected. So are those that keep their most important information in their own data centres. Consumers can take precautions, too. Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers (Google does well on this score). Cloud computing promises its users many benefits, but don’t mistake it for some sort of digital heaven.
1.The author takes “the merger between Dell and EMC” for example to show ________.
A. the influence of cloud computing on computer and storage device makers
B. the miserable sufferings of old computer companies
C. the rapid development of new computer companies
D. the interaction between old companies and newcomers
2.With wide applications of cloud computing customers can ________.
A. pay less for the older IT systems
B. gain more computing capacity quickly
C. know better about defeating the hackers
D. install software within weeks
3.The problem of “lock-in” can be dangerous because ________.
A. it should ensure data can easily be moved to another provider
B. it can create a network of services connected with devices
C. it may make it difficult for customers to recover their data
D. it will discourage an argument about stricter rules
4.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. the European politicians’ advice is perfect
B. customers’ demands play a role in setting standards
C. lock-in is caused by firms’ storing information in their own centres
D. Google enables users to provide services and move data
5.Which of the following sayings can best express the main idea of the passage?
A. Everything has its time and that time must be watched.
B. The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.
C. A candle lights others and consumes itself.
D. Every white has its black, and every sweet has its sour.

Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a bathtub and water system built over 3, 000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some as many as 3, 000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing or hydrotherapy, first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.
For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided and perfume（香水）was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1770’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be cleaned. Slowly people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person could only take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. Consequently, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.

It's not often you get information about a destination from a heavy metal band, but in Debrecen, Hungary's second largest city, locals are used to having to make a noise to get heard.
Just off the historic center, Roncs bar is a pub that also hosts live music. It has the atmosphere of a student party in an old building that might soon be knocked down.
Roncs is owned by Hungary's best-known heavy metal rock band, Tankcsapda. Sometimes referred to as the “Hungarian Metallica", the band has taken a type of music that is famous worldwide and-through lyrics, album covers, and an annual New Year's party and concert-made it all about their home city.
It's perhaps fitting that Tankcsapda should be seen as ambassadors for Debrecen-the city sometimes needs loud heavy metal rock music to get noticed. “Foreigners think that Hungary is Budapest and there's nothing else," is a familiar saying on Debrecen's[来源:streets.
Debrecen has, at times, been more important than the current seat of power, with locals claiming it takes over in times of trouble.
That doesn't quite add up.
Debrecen survived an attack from the Mongols in the 13th century, the Black Death, 150 years of struggle against the Ottomans and numerous conflicts, and yet it[来源:has still only briefly been the country's capital twice. This happened for the first time after a short-lived revolution in 1849, and for a second time at the end of World War II.
Today, Debrecen may not be well known to tourists, but that only adds to the charm of this relaxed city. It's a small place; the historical center is sized for strolling (散步) and regular cafe stops. There's also a view of Debrecen's mix of architectural styles, a result of the frequent large fires that back in the 19th century led the city's
students to form one of Europe's first-ever fire brigades (消防队).
You can also see traditional weathercocks from the rooftops, featuring Islamic star and crescent moon symbols that once advertised to Ottoman invaders that the city preferred trading to fighting.
Trade meant that Debrecen's skilled people became very successful and the city became famous for-among other things-fine foods, hats and clay pipes. In the early 19th century, 10 million clay pipes were reportedly made a year, with thousands bought for Britain's navy.
1.What do Debrecen citizens expect Tankcsapda to do?
A. Introduce heavy metal music to Hungary.
B. Hold parties featuring live heavy metal music shows.
C. Try to make Debrecen known with its music.
D. Create a unique type of heavy metal music.
2.Why are locals used to having to make a noise to get heard?
A. Because they feel their city is too quiet and relaxed.
B. Because they dislike it that the world only knows Budapest in Hungary.
C. Because they think it helps create a powerful image of their city.
D. Because all kinds of music bars bring their city alive.
3. What does the underlined word refer to?
A. Styles. B. Conditions.
C. Atmosphere. D. Climate.
4.What is the key message the author wants to deliver in this passage?
A. Debrecen actually is more important than Budapest.
B. Debrecen is a place which is worth visiting.
C. Debrecen citizens love music and create their unique culture.
D. Debrecen citizens are proud of their culture and history.
