Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young- looking.

In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be
150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti
-aging (
抗衰老的
)
treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to r
ed. In 2035
，
“smart clothes”
contain particles (
粒子
) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be
programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink
t
hat!” Your fridge has read the chip (
芯片
) that contains information about the milk, and it
knows the milk is old. In 2035
，
every article of food in grocery stores has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035
，
cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to
go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all
around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,”says scientist Andrew
Zolli
，
”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.”The Internet is one

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In
the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.
Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all
alone!
He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the
minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival
shows he had watched on TV
. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed
put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his
body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas
built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he
piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby
stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could
last, Nicholas did the only thing he could - he huddled (
蜷缩
) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for he
lp, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed
his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On
Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a
volunteer searcher found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was
saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV
. He had often
watched Grylls’ survival show
Man vs. Wild
. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life.
When Gryll
s heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had
made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and
sustain (
保持
) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun! Of course everyone
knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is
performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological
health. It’s an opportunity to be social and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise
creates a community feel and the shared common goal inspire people to work hard.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support people receive
from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to
embarrass themselves. If you feel that way, then group training is an even better option for you.
It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction of a fitness
instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you
can attend an upbeat
group fitness class that will keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness
frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to
surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper e
motional support. Surround
B
．
Responsible and curious.
D
．
Confident and outgoing.
yourself with people who encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying
something new or any group fitness class with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a
fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very
beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for
yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself
with are supportive.

You get
anxious if there’s no wi
-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the
mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things
will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress cause
d by
smart phone addiction.
For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible
working has given them more autonomy
（自主权）
in their working lives and enabled them to
spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have
become tyrants
（暴君）
in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and
recharge their batteries.
Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring
his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an app
—
Moment
—
to
monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device
and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached
（突破）
. “Moment’s goal is to promote
balance in your life
,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it
enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”

Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational
（职业的）
psychologist at Coventry University, said,
“The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not
giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we
get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”

And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This
is leading to a sort of decision paralysis
（瘫痪）
and is creating more stress in the workplace
because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often
difficult to manage. “It actual
ly makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less
because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine
Grant.
12
．
What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

A
．
The popularity of smart phones.
C
．
The signs of “always on” stress.

B
．
The progress of modern technology.
D
．
The cause of smart phone addiction.
13
．
Kevin Holesh developed “Moment” to ________.

A
．
research how people use their mobile phones
B
．
help people control their use of mobile phones
C
．
make people love parents and friends around
D
．
increase the fun of using mobile phones
14
．
What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?

A
．
Confused.
C
．
Doubtful.
B
．
Positive.
D
．
Critical.
15
．
According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means ________.
A
．
we will become less productive
B
．
we can make a decision more quickly
C
．
we will be equipped with more knowledge
D
．
we can work more effectively

Two weeks ago my grandfather passed away. It really put me into deep

) who encouraged me to work hard and



23



well.
I’ll never forget the first time I read a long piece of his writing. It was when I



24

25



and used poetic language, unafraid of sounding too “flowery”. I read the

loud so I could hear the rhyming sounds.
My grandfather

hard work. Every time he came to visit us in New York, he
would

I knew he had worked hard to



29



the big family during the Great Depression. He was
awarded many military



30



for winning many battles in the Navy in World War II.
At the funeral, a friend of my grandfather walked to me and said that my grandfather had
told him about a small



31



I had written. After it came out, I sent it to my grandfather



32



received
no reply. This man told me that my book hit my grandfather’s



33



and
brought tears to his eyes. My grandfather said he was so

of me.
Now I feel even more deserved to write well because I know my grandfather

I know he lives in my heart forever.

family was so poor that he couldn't attend school. But he always dreamed of being able to read.
One day, he took his seven-year-old grandson to school.
Since he didn't have anything to do that day, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood
outside his grandson's classroom and looked in through the window.
The kids' teacher, who was an old man in his fifties, entered the classroom when the class
began. The teacher was wearing thick glasses. He started teaching. Through watching him, the
old man found something interesting, He noticed that the teacher could read nothing without
putting his glasses on. As soon as he put on his glasses, he could read very well.
“How amazing! said the old man to himself.

He waited outside the classroom until the class was over and stopped the teacher.
“Excuse me, sir,

“Yes?” said the teacher.

him up. He realized what he needed to read was just a pair of glasses.
