Bags of Love

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me – why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱).I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

Do you enjoy visiting a museum? Did you ever make a plan before a visit? Every museum must have something that attracts you. And there

are many possible ways to enjoy yourself in a museum.

If you follow these steps below, you'll know what is

worth seeing and doing, so that you can make the most of

your time at the museum.

Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of

museums and you first need to find one that you like. It's easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!

Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as:

•The exhibits(展品)–See what is on show at the museum at all times, and what special exhibitions are held for a short time.

•The history of the museum –There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐赠者). That can make your visit more interesting.

•Activities –See whether there are talks, tours our special activities on the day when you visit. Many museums hold some activities that meet the interests of all age groups.

•Cost,food or shortage–It's important how much the visit will cost. You have to decide whether or not you can eat there. You might also need to find out

transportation needs, as well as storage for coats, bags etc.

Learn at least one thing on your visit. It is always good to take away

something new from your visit.

Plan breaks into your visit. When you walk around, standing here and studying exhibits there, you may become very tired. So it is important to take breaks. A break is a good opportunity for you to think of what you have seen and what else you might want to do in museum.

Take a friend or two. Visiting museums is always a lot more fun when you are with someone else. You can talk over what you’re seeing. A friend also brings another way of thinking when you talk about the exhibit.

A. do some research online B. make a plan for lunch

D. decide on a museum to visit D. choose a friend to go with

50. To make our visit more interesting, we can____.

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other

students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again

and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to

students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.―I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,‖ a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an

important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

53.What does the expression―‖ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. According to their own timetable. B. Without their teachers’ help.

C. Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents’ hope.

54. From the passage we can learn that____.

A. students with iPads have less discussion in class

B. students get more fun from learning with iPads

C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses

D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

55. The writer probably agrees that____.

A. teachers can take control of students’ learning

B. exam results depend a lot on now technology

C. technology in education has a bright future

D. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

Black Friday

Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.

Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there

are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough

low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items

are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They

may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be

hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not

everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.

The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.

So where does the name ―Black Friday‖ come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day ―Big Friday‖. It did not stick. The name ―Black Friday‖ continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.

Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year. They call it ―El Buen Fin‖, which means ―the good weekend‖ in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.

61. Is Black Friday the start of the holiday shopping season?

62. What is the biggest problem with Black Friday?

63. How long may people have to wait before a store opens?

64. Where was the name ―Black Friday‖ first used in the 1950s?

65. Why do people like going shopping on Black Friday?

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other

students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again

and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to

students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.―I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,‖ a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an

important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

53.What does the expression―‖ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. According to their own timetable. B. Without their teachers’ help.

C. Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents’ hope.

C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses

D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

55. The writer probably agrees that____.

Black Friday

Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.

Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there

are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough

low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items

are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They

may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be

hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not

everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.

The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.

So where does the name ―Black Friday‖ come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day ―Big Friday‖. It did not stick. The name ―Black Friday‖ continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.

Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year. They call it ―El Buen Fin‖, which means ―the good weekend‖ in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.

61. Is Black Friday the start of the holiday shopping season?

62. What is the biggest problem with Black Friday?

63. How long may people have to wait before a store opens?

64. Where was the name ―Black Friday‖ first used in the 1950s?

65. Why do people like going shopping on Black Friday?
