A

science
experiment
recently
took
the
world
by
storm.
Two
teens
from
Toronto,
in
Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut's trip on film.

Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego
model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth's atmosphere.

The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology(MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera
into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spend four
months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly,
believing
that
it
is
responsible
for
social
progress
and
prosperity(
繁荣
).
Others
say
that
competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship
between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they
performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and- death
affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities
is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude.
In
a
culture
which
values
only
the
winner
and
pays
no
attention
to
the
ordinary
players,
they
strongly
blame
competition.
Among
the
most
vocal
are
youngsters
who
have
suffered
under
competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe
in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not
trying, they always have an excuse:
try.
that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the
same
as
that
of
the
true
competitors
who
try
to
prove
themselves.
Both
are
based
on
the
mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.
Both
are
afraid
of
not
being
valued.
Only
as
this
basic
and
often
troublesome
fear
begins
to
dissolve(
缓解
)can we discover a new meaning in competition.

（
1
）
Why are some people in favor of competition?

A. Because they think competition pushes society forward.

B. Because they think competition improves social abilities.

C. Because they think competition builds up a sense of pride.

D. Because they think competition develops people's relationship.

（
2
）
What does the underlined phrase

A. People who try their best to win.

B. People who highly value competition.

C. People who are strongly against competition.

D. People who mostly rely on others for success.

（
3
）
Which viewpoint does the author agree to?

A. Self-worth relies on winning.

B. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

C. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

（

）
What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple
as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes
you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.

Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he
would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the
lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.

But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of
the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His
thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk
was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he
threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He
reached
the
fence,
raised
himself
up
and
then
began
dragging
himself
along
the
fence,
firmly
determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided.
With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then
to walk by himself and then to run.


He
began
to
walk
to
school,
and
then
run
to
school,
to
run
for
the
joy
of
running.
Later
in
college he was on the track team.


In
February 1934,
in
New
York
City's
Madison
Square Garden,
this
young
man who
was
not
expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run-this determined
young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.

A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self, Glenn Cunningham
continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce
back
even
when
all
difficulties
are
piled
against
one,
to
the
degree
that
death
seemed
the
preferable option.

It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have
announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(
二维
).

A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists
hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high- resolution(
高分辨率
)displays that
need very little energy.

Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a
few atoms thick.

Usually transistors are made with the element silicon(
硅
). Computer processors, memory chips,
TV
screens
and
other
electronic
devices
contain
billions
of
silicon-based
transistors.
But
these
very small electrical parts have certain limitations.

Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the
traditional
transistor

Recently,
as
the
British
doctor
Robert
Winston
took
a
train
from
London
to
Manchester,
he
found
himself
becoming
steadily
angry.
A
woman
had
picked
up
her
phone
and
begun
a
loud
conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the
woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.


When
the
train
arrived
at
its
destination,
Winston
rushed
out.
He'd
had
enough
of
the
woman's
rudeness.
But
the
press
were
now
waiting
for
her
on
the
platform.
And
when
they
showed her Winston's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.

Winston's tale is something of a microcosm(
缩影
) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by
social media. What can we do to fix this?


Studies
have
shown
that
rudeness
spreads
quickly,
almost
like
the
common
cold.
Just
witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way
to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say,
meant
approaching
the
woman,
telling
her
that
her
conversation
was
frustrating
other
passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.

The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things.
In
my
own
research,
surveying
2,000
adults,
I
discovered
that
the
acts
of
revenge
people
had
taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's
behavior
—
but from afar, in a way that shamed her.

We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up
and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers
in the same way we'd defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without
a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their
actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this
tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.

（
1
）
What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?

A. He knows how to speak to rude people.

B. He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.

C. He lost his temper due to other people's rudeness.

D. He reacted to a woman's rude behavior wrongly.

（
2
）
What does

A. Rude behavior is common on social media.

B. Rudeness can be avoided through social media.

C. People can easily get away through social media.

D. Social media may spread and cause rudeness.

（
3
）
According to the writer, how should you respond when you meet rude people?

A. Record them and post it on the Internet.

B. Point it out in a polite and skillful way.

C. Do nothing but wait for other people to fix it.

D. Pay them back by doing equally disturbing things.

（
4
）
Which of the following statement is true about the last paragraph?

A. We can only point out rudeness from familiar people.

B. Rudeness and manners can hardly coexist in civilized society.

C. Both strangers and acquaintances deserve our friendly warning.

D. Rude people can't see their rudeness through others' eyes.

is
something
of
a
microcosm(

rudeness”
可知作者描述这个时代越 来越粗鲁；再根据第四段中的
“Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. ”
研究表明，
粗鲁行为传播迅速，就像普通感冒一样。可知作者认为粗鲁行为传播很快。因此此处

D
。

Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (
英国
摄政时期
).
She
is
admired
for
describing
a
world
of
elegant
houses,
dances,
servants
and
fashionable young men driving barouches (
四轮四座大马车
). But her own vision of her task was
completely
different.
She
was
an
ambitious
and
strict
moralist.
She
was
highly
conscious
of
human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and
more sensitive to the needs of others.

In
Pride and Prejudice
, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and
then,
gradually
realize
they
are
in
love.
They
make
one
of
the
great
romantic
couples.
He
is
handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right
for one another?

Jane Austen is very clear. It's for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because
each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels

Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (
自大
) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme,
but later he admits that this was just what he needed.


Mostly,
we
tend
to
think
of
love
as
liking
someone
for
who
they
already
are,
and
of
total
acceptance.
But
the
person
who
is
right
for
us,
Austen
is
saying,
is
not
simply
someone
who
makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and
become more mature, more honest and kinder
—
and we need to do something similar for them.

I took a journey to New York, US several months ago. It was the first time I had been abroad. It
was also the first time I had taken a trip by myself. I had great enthusiasm and high hopes, and I
wasn't let down.

It's hard to describe how I felt when I arrived at the airport in New York. Looking at people of
different
races
and
nationalities
passing
by
and
hearing
different
languages
all
around
me,
I
couldn't say anything for a long time. I had never understood the cultural diversity of the US so
clearly and closely before.

The following days were even more impressive. We integrated(
融入
)into the forest of concrete
and
cement(
混凝土和水泥
).
We
waved
to
the
Statue
of
Liberty;
we
looked
down
at
the
busy
island of Manhattan; we looked at well-known universities
—
Harvard of ancient Egypt.


Then
we
visited
some
well-known
university
—
Harvard,
Yale,
Princeton
and
Columbia
—
each
with its own appealing and time-honored history. But what all these universities have in common
is their peaceful academic atmospheres witch you could feel everywhere. I was impressed by the
libraries, decorated just like cathedrals(
教堂
), and the laboratories just next to the classroom. My
dream is to return to those places as an international student.


Finally
came
our
destinations
—
the
Model
United
Nations
conference
at
the
University
of
Chicago. Students from various countries arrived to act as United Nations delegations and share
their opinions about global issues.

As a non-native speaker, I felt that competing against native speakers was a very tough task.
But
it
was
also
a
rare
change
to
improve
my
English
and
I
couldn't
throw
it
away.
With
perseverance and devotion. I got used to talking to other delegations naturally. Although I didn't
win any awards, the chairman praised me at the closing ceremony for my excellent performance.
That made me feel really proud.

This trip brought me unforgettable and valuable experiences that will benefit me forever.

When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we
didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to
get
anywhere.
It
was
at
story
time
for
children
that
both
my
mother
and
I
made
lasting
friendships.

Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head
and
a
short
walk
to
the
Sea
Cliff
Children's
Library.
My
18-imonth-old
son,
Colin,
and
I
find
ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many
people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.

Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels.
But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I
learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the
place where we sometimes giggled(
咯咯笑
)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name.
Their
knowing
our
names
wasn't
a
bad
thing.
When
I
came
home
from
my
first
term
at
Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my
first teaching job.

I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they
can
check
out
books
via
their
smartphones
and
virtually(
虚拟地
)visit
a
variety
of
Long
Island
libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library,
makes
their
homework
easier
by
helping
them
find
resources.
Even
though
they
can't
always
easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.

（

）
Why does the author consider herself lucky today?

A. She has become her mother's best friend.
B. She has access to a reliable car now.

C. She can meet friends at the library.
D. She lives close to libraries.

（

）
What does the underlined word

A. Socializing in a library.
B. Reading books in a library.

C. Visiting a library with a family member. D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.

（

What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?
