阅读理解The next day, the swallow flew back to the Happy Prince, "I have come to say goodbye," he said. "Little swallow," said the Prince, "will you stay with me just one more night?" "It is winter," answered the swallow, "and the snow will soon be here. In Egypt, the sun is warm, and my friends are waiting for me." "In the town square," said the Happy Prince, "there is a young girl who sells matches. She has dropped her matches onto the ground, and now no one will buy them. Her father will hit her if she does not bring home some money, and she is crying. Take out my other eye and give it to her, and her father will not hit her.""I will stay with you one more night," said the swallow, "but I cannot take out your other eye. You will not be able to see if I do." "Little swallow," said the Prince, "do as I say." The swallow took out the Prince's other eye and dropped the jewel into the match-girl's hand. "What a lovely bit of glass," cried the little girl, and she ran home laughing. Then, the swallow flew back to the Prince. "You can not see now," he said, "so I will stay with you always." "No, little swallow," said the Prince, "You must go away to Egypt." "I will stay with you always," said the swallow, and he slept at the Prince's feet.From The Happy Prince(1)Why was the little match-girl unhappy?A.Because she was cold.B.ecause she was hungry.C.Because she could not bring home some money.D.Because she hated her father.(2)Why wasn't the swallow willing to promise to do as the Prince said?A.If so, the Prince would not be able to see.B.If so, the girl's father would hit her.C.If so, the Prince would die.D.If so, the swallow would not be able to see.(3)Why did the swallow decide to stay with the Prince?A.Because he wanted to give love to the poor together with the Prince.B.ecause his friends did not like him.C.Because he had no family.D.Because the people in the city disliked him.Have you ever paid for educational podcasts(播客)or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. "Pay-for-knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these "pay-for-knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. "Pay-for-knowledge" is on the rise(兴起).Why is "pay-for-knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity(身份)check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy "pay-for-knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information.On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts(专家)who serve well-known companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.The industry of "pay-for-knowledge" has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What's more, this is a reflection(反映)of respect for knowledge and talents.However, the rapid development of "pay-for-knowledge" has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as "How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating(欣赏)Classical Music", which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.In general, the best is the one that suits you most. "Pay-for-knowledge" may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A."Pay-for-knowledge" products can help all the people succeed.B.People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities.C.People who can teach themselves need "pay-for-knowledge" products most.D."Pay-for-knowledge" products can offer people different kinds of courses.(2)What can we learn about "pay-for-knowledge" industry from Paragraph 2?A.The history of its development.B.The problems of its products.C.The causes of its rise.D.The advantages of itsproducts.(3)The underlined phrase "be lucrative" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A.enjoy self-growth B.get much information C.win great respect D.produce lots of money(4)The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A.remind people to choose "pay-for-knowledge" products wiselyB.advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves onlineC.recommend the "pay-for-knowledge" products to peopleD.teach parents how to buy some online courses for their childrenWhen you're in school, the last thing you want to do is to work on weekends. There's homework to do, sports to play, fun to have. But our parents may persuade(劝说)us to find a job to earn money an get some life experience. When I was a teenager, I had to deliver the newspapers to people's homes. Then I got a Saturday job at a supermarket: putting everything in order on the shelves and working as a shopkeeper.Today in the UK you can work from the age of 13 and many children have part-time jobs. It is almost seen as an adult ceremony. It's an independent experience. Teenagers agreed that it taught them valuable lessons about working and managing money with adults. So that's not a bad thing!Some research suggests that not working on Saturdays or holidays may be harmful to one's later life. But recent statistics(数据统计)show 20% of the students have given up having part-time jobs in the past three years.So does this mean British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts believe young people feel that going out to work hinders(阻碍)their performance in school, they are now under more pressure(压力)to study hard, get good grades and have a good job in the long run. However, proper part-time jobs are a great way to help young people learn the skills they need in the workplace. In fact, the key is to keep a balance between taking a part-time job and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. A 13-year-old girl named Rachel works in a shop on Saturday. She told the BBC: I like my job because I'm making money and it helps me to talk to people confidently and work with others closely. It seems like a valuable thing to do on a Saturday morning.(1)When I was a teenager, I ________ at first.A.had too much homework to doB.played sports with my good friendsC.delivered food to people's homesD.had a part-time job on Saturday(2)What makes some students give up part-time jobs?A.They are now more afraid of hard work.B.Taking part-time jobs may be harmful to their later life.C.Going out to work hinders their performance in school.D.Taking part-time jobs isn't a great way to help them learn skills.(3)Rachel likes her part-time job because ________. ① She can make some money. ② She can get good grades. ③ It helps her talk with people confidently. ④ It helps her get away from pressure.A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④(4)The writer's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A.To introduce his own part-time job experience.B.To encourage students to take a part-time job.C.To tell students how to keep a balance between study and jobs.D.To make a survey on part-time jobs.Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists(心理学家)doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers(祈祷文)that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: "Do people get it from water?", "What parts of the body does it influence?" and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent "passively" reading and re-reading notes.(1)Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage?A.It helps short-term memory for sure.B.It makes remembering things interesting.C.It helps to remember things for long.D.It makes remembering prayers effortless.(2)The underlined word "chunks" in Paragraph 2 probably means "________".A.details B.turns C.groups D.lines(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths.B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people.D.Asking yourself questions activates the memory.(4)What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To complain that his memory is bad.B.To recognize some memory problems.C.To explain some memory experiments.D.To share some ways of improving memory..

Media influence is not going away and it's nice to have some sites that _ positive self-regard out there.A. adviceB. adventC. advocateD. advertise

The Scholarship Jacket （1）The small Texas school that I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket（the school colors）was awarded to the class valedictorian, the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years. The scholarship jacket had a big gold "S" on the left front side and your name written in gold letters on the pocket. （2）I had been a straight A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn't earn enough money to feed eight children, so when I was six I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn't participate in sports at school because there were registration fees, uniform costs, and trips out of town; so, even though our family was quite agile and athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for us. This one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance. （3）In May, close to graduation, I was absent-mindedly wandering from my history class to the gym when I remembered my P.E. Shorts were still in a bag under my desk where I'd forgotten them. I was almost back at my classroom door when I heard voices raised in anger as if in some sort of argument. I stopped. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, and didn't want to interrupt an argument between my teachers. I recognized the voices: Mr. Schmidt, my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, my math teacher. They seemed to be arguing about me. （4）"I refuse to do it! I don't care who her father is, her grades don't even begin to compare to Martha's. I won't lie or falsify records. Martha has a straight A-plus average and you know it." That was Mr. Schmidt and he sounded very angry. Mr. Boone's voice sounded calm and quiet. "Look. Joann's father is not only on the Board（董事会）, but it was also a close tie…" （5）The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words, only a word here and there filtered through. "…Martha is Mexican…immigrants from Mexico…resign…won't do it…" Mr. Schmidt came rushing out and luckily for me went down the opposite way toward the auditorium, so he didn't see me. Shaking, I waited a few minutes and then went in and grabbed my bag and fled from the room. To this day I don't remember how I made it through the rest of the afternoon. I went home very sad and cried into my pillow that night, so Grandmother wouldn't hear me. （6）The next day when the principal called me into his office I knew what it would be about. He looked uncomfortable. I decided I wasn't going to make it any easier for him, so I looked him straight in the eyes. He looked away and fidgeted（烦躁） with the papers on his desk. （7）"Martha, " he said, "I am terribly sorry that there's been a change in policy this year about the scholarship jacket. As you know, it has always been free." He cleared his throat and continued. "This year the Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars, which still won't cover the complete cost of the jacket." I stared at him in shock, and a small sound of dismay escaped my throat. I hadn't expected this. He still avoided looking in my eyes. "So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line." I didn't need to ask who that was. （8）Standing with all the dignity（尊严） I could muster, I said, "I'll speak to my grandfather about it, sir, and let you know tomorrow." I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. The dirt road was a quarter mile from the highway, so by the time I got home, my eyes were red and puffy. （9）I went to the bean fields. There Grandpa was. I could see him walking between the rows, his body bent over the little plants, hoe in hand. I walked slowly out to him, trying to think how I could best ask him for the money. I knew I had to be honest with Grandpa; it was my only chance. He saw my shadow and looked up. I cleared my throat nervously and clasped my hands behind my back so he wouldn't see them shaking. "Grandpa, I have a big favor to ask you, " I said in Spanish, the only language he knew. He still waited silently. I tried again. "Grandpa, this year the principal said the scholarship jacket is not going to be free. It's going to cost fifteen dollars, and I have to take the money in tomorrow, otherwise it'll be given to someone else." The last words came out in an eager rush. Grandpa straightened up tiredly and leaned his chin on the hoe handle. I waited, desperately hoping he'd say I could have the money. He turned to me and asked quietly, "What does a scholarship jacket mean? " I answered quickly; maybe there was a chance. "It means you've earned it by having the highest grades for eight years and that's why they're giving it to you." Too late I realized the significance of my words. Grandpa knew that I understood it was not a matter of money. It wasn't that. He went back to hoeing the weeds that sprang up between the delicate little bean plants. As I turned to leave, crying, he spoke again, "Then if you pay for it, Marta, it's not a scholarship jacket, is it? Tell your principal I will not pay the fifteen dollars." I walked back to the house and locked myself in the bathroom for a long time. I was angry with Grandfather even though I knew he was right, and I was angry with the Board, whoever they were. Why did they have to change the rules just when it was my turn to win the jacket? It was a very sad and withdrawn girl who dragged into the principal's office the next day. This time he did look me in the eyes. "What did your grandfather say? " I sat very straight in my chair. "He said he won't pay the fifteen dollars." The principal muttered something I couldn't understand under his breath and walked over to the window. He stood looking out at something outside. He looked bigger than usual when he stood up; he was a tall, gaunt man with gray hair, and I watched the back of his head while I waited for him to speak. "Why? " he finally asked. "Your grandfather has the money. He owns a two-hundred-acre farm." I looked at him, forcing my eyes to stay dry. "I know, sir, but he said if I had to pay for it, then it wouldn't be a scholarship jacket." I stood up to leave. I was almost to the door when he stopped me. "Martha—wait." I turned and looked at him, waiting. What did he want now? I could feel my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Something bitter and vile tasting was coming up in my mouth; I was afraid I was going to be sick. He sighed loudly and went back to his big desk. He watched me, biting his lip. "Martha, I must apologize that if we offended you. But…we didn't mean to…I'll tell the Board that we'll make an exception in your case this year…you'll get your jacket." I could hardly believe my ears. I spoke in a trembling rush. "Oh, thank you, sir!" Suddenly I felt great, feeling as tall as the sky. I wanted to yell, jump, run the mile, do something. In the corridor, Mr. Schmidt winked at me and said, "We believe that you're getting the scholarship jacket this year." Without answering, I gave him a quick hug and ran to the bus. I cried on the walk home again, but this time because I was so happy. I couldn't wait to tell Grandpa and ran straight to the field. I joined him in the row where he was working, and without saying anything I crouched down and started pulling up the weeds with my hands. After I had a little pile of weeds between the rows, I stood up and faced him. "The principal said he's making an exception for me, Grandpa, and I'm getting the jacket after all. That's after I told him what you said." Grandpa didn't say anything; he just gave me a pat on the shoulder and a smile. He pulled out the crumpled red handkerchief that he always carried in his back pocket and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Better go see if your grandmother needs any help with supper." I gave him a big grin. He didn't fool me. I skipped and ran back to the house whistling some silly tune. 根据文章内容，判断下列句子的正误，正确的填A，错误的填B。 Martha was born poor, having to do part-time job when at high school.
