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."

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..

Forests in countries like Brazil and the Congo get a lot of attention from environmentalists，and it is easy to see why.South America and sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing deforestation on an enormous scale：every year almost 5 million hectares are lost.But forests are also changing in rich Western countries.They are growing larger，both in the sense that they occupy more land and that the trees in them are bigger.What is going on？ Forests are spreading in almost all Western countries，with the fastest growth in places that historically had rather few trees.In 1990 28% of Spain was forested；now the proportion is 37%.In both Greece and Italy，the growth was from 26% to 32% over the same period.Forests are gradually taking more land in America and Australia.Perhaps most astonishing is the trend in Ireland.Roughly 1% of that country was forested when it became independent in 1922.Now forests cover 11% of the land，and the government wants to push the proportion to 18% by the 2040s. Two things are fertilising this growth.The first is the abandonment of farmland，especially in high，dry places where nothing grows terribly well.When farmers give up trying to earn a living from farming or herding，trees simply move in.The second is government policy and subsidy.Throughout history，governments have protected and promoted forests for diverse reasons，ranging from the need for wooden warships to a desire to promote suburban house-building.Nowadays forests are increasingly welcome because they suck in carbon pollution from the air.The justifications change；the desire for more trees remains constant. The greening of the West does not delight everyone.Farmers complain that land is being taken out of use by generously subsidlised tree plantations.Parts of Spain and Portugal suffer from terrible forest fires.Others simply dislike the appearance of forests planted in neat rows.They will have to get used to the trees，however.The growth of Western forests seems almost as unstoppable as deforestation elsewhere.（1）What is catching environmentalists' attention nowadays？ ____ A.Rich countries are stripping poor ones of their resources.B.Forests are fast shrinking in many developing countries.C.Forests are eating away the fertile farmland worldwide.D.Rich countries are doing little to address deforestation.（2）Which countries have the fastest forest growth？ ____ A.Those that have newly achieved independence.B.Those that have the greatest demand for timber.C.Those that used to have the lowest forest coverage.D.Those that provide enormous government subsidies.（3）What has encouraged forest growth historically？ ____ A.The government's advocacy.B.The use of wood for fuel.C.The favourable climate.D.The green movement.（4）What accounts for our increasing desire for forests？ ____ A.Their unique scenic beauty.B.Their use as fruit plantations.C.Their capability of improving air quality.D.Their stable supply of building materials.（5）What does the author conclude about the prospects of forestation？ ____ A.Deserts in sub Saharan Africa will diminish gradually.B.It will play a more and more important role in people's lives.C.Forest destruction in the developing world will quickly slow down.D.eveloped and developing countries are moving in opposite directions.
