Apple’s iPad has been a huge hit among children, with its easy-to-use interface and innovative apps.
In fact, researchers say the astonishing rise of the iPad has meant it has now overtaken household names such as McDonalds and Disney to become the number one brand among American 6-12 year olds.
The annual study, conducted by leading youth and family research firm Smarty Pants, ranks more than 250 brands each year. “iPad’s number one status among kids represents the summit of the ‘tablet takeover’—a movement from shared screens and TV network dominance to planned content on personal devices,” said Wynne Tyree, president of Smarty Pants. “Kids increasingly turn to iPad for games, TV shows, videos, books, homework help and communicating with friends and family.”
In the firm’s 2014 study, Apple’s iPad went ahead of kid brands such as McDonald’s, Toys’ R’Us, Nickelodeon, and Disney. Kids see the iPad as the a-in-one digital tool, giving them a unique sense of independence, the researchers say.
Tyree notes that iPad’s march to the top has been dramatic. “In just five years, the iPad has risen from ranking 109th to being kids’ fav orite brand. Early on, it captured the hearts of tweens and middle and upper class families, but iPad is now an indispensable part of childhood for the masses.”
On the study iPad was tops with a weighted score of 898 out of 1000. Disney came at 858, Google’s YouTube 852, McDonald’s 839, iPhone 830 and Apple 829. Digital entertainment overall is seeing an increase among kids and families, with brands such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Android, and Samsung posting noteworthy increases in the study, a measure of Kid’s awareness, popularity, and love for a brand. Along with iPad, these devices and services provide entertainment that is “always on”.
Offering seemingly endless options, tablets and digital content providers are meeting contemporary kid’s needs—with fun and connectivity never more than a tap away.
4．What is the “tablet takeover” movement according to the passage?
A．In the movement everyone owns an iPad.
B．It refers to the shift from watching TV together to using an iPad separately.
C．In the movement people become more independent in entertainment.

A．An iPad helps the kids build up stronger relationships with their parents.
B．An iPad can develop the kids’ reading skills.
C．With an iPad, the kids can become a better learner.
D．They can watch TV shows using an iPad.
6．What is the correct ranking according to scores from the study of Smarty Pants?
A．Disney—YouTube—Apple—iPhone—iPad—McDonald’s.
B．iPad—Disney—YouTube—McDonald’s—iPhone—Apple.
C．iPhone—Disney—iPad—McDonald—YouTube—Apple.
D．iPad—Apple—iPhone—McDonald’s—Disney—YouTube.
7．What can we infer from the passage?

C．An iPad can provide the kids with most entertainment.
D．An iPad’s fun and connection to the Internet attracts the kids most.

Fairy tales focus on creating a fantasy world to the reader encouraging imagination and teaching problem-solving skills. It is equally important that they provide influential moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold and mechanical heart.
The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fairy tales, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can eliminate the immoral behavior of the the intelligent robots, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.
The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.
Quixote would run best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.
8．What is the robot really expected to do in the experiment?
A．To purchase some medicine for a human.
B．To finish the task as efficiently as possible.
C．To perform in a socially acceptable way.
D．To perform under the designer’s instructions.
9．What does the underlined word mean?
A．Praise. B．Promote. C．Rid. D．Strengthen.
10．Which of the following information can we get?
A．Quixote has already been widely used in robots.
B．Robots will be definitely designed with limited function.
C．The development of robots is still in a baby step.
D．Robots are necessarily to be trained to follow social codes.
11．What’s the text mainly about?
A．Using stories to teach moral to robots. B．Speeding up the development of robots.
C．Preventing robots from behaving badly. D．Training robots to read fairy tales.

I loved watching comedians on television as a kid. I’d hear a joke and ask myself: why it got a laugh? What made it work? Could I ever make it as a comedian? But first I had to finish school and earn a living.
After graduation, I worked as an accountant, managing the petty cash in the drawer. It was in this area that I developed my own very odd theory of accounting: If you got a couple of dollars , everything was okay(The theory never really caught on). Every day I’d have to check what was in the drawer wi th the receipts. It never balanced. At first I’d be tearing my hair out until I found the balance. Finally, one day I pulled the amount I was short of from my pocket and called it a day. Mr. Hutchinson, head of accounting, discovered my shortcut to balanci ng petty cash. he lectured me: “These are not sound accounting principles.” I said: “I’m not cut out for accounting. Why would you pay me $6 an hour to spend four hours finding $1.40?”
Meanwhile, I often called my friend Ed Gallagher to kill boring afternoons, imitating things from my everyday world and identifying myself as plant manager of a yeast factory. “Sir”, it is Mr. Tomkins. We have a problem at your yeast factory. There’s a fire. I’d like you to hold on. Are you still there?”
Ed Gallagher heard the routines and offered to provide the money to record them and send them to radio stations. Three wrote back asking how much we wanted .Soon I was on the air.
Being a comedian is out of place with my intention, though. I left the world of accounting and took a series of part-time jobs to get me through, hoping for a big chance.
12．Why did he love watching comedians on television?
A．He just wanted to be a comedian as they were.
B．He wanted to make a living as a comedian.
C．He was curious about their way of humour.
D．He was good at thinking and raising questions.
13．How did the author practice his odd theory of balancing?
A．He stole the receipts to balance the account. B．He got enough dollars to keep everything okay.
C．He contributed his own money to the drawer. D．He adopted a sensible and simple principle.
14．What can we learn from the text?
A．The head of accounting paid too much for his work.
B．The author loved being funny and was imaginative.
C．The author would patiently find the balance at the beginning.
D．The author’s record of the routines was a complete failure.
15．What’s the writing style of the text?

The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment? 16． Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. 17．
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
18． Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to trai n the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. 19． As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
20． In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A．The main cause is financial pressure.
B．Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C．The government has increased funding for higher education.
D．They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E.Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F.Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G.So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.

Baskin was a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of South Carolina whose parents ran small restaurant. As he was the only college student in his family, his family tried their best to support him. Baskin always worked as a waiter in the restaurant to lighten his parents' burdens. He was so hardworking that many customers praised his hospitable service. His parents also appreciated and trusted him a lot.
It was a busy night at the restaurant. After a few guests walked in and sat down, they ordered a bottle of the
Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse 2001-a valuable wine worth almost €6,000.
Having to serve another table, Baskin then asked a workmate to fetch the bottle. However, since the employee was new, she accidentally took the wrong bottle of wine. Instead of the wine that was ordered by the customers, she served the Chateau Pichon Longueville Pomerol 2001, which cost about €5,000. As the bottles and names were similar, no one noticed the mistake.
Baskin didn't realize the mistake until the customers wanted to order a second bottle after finishing the first one. He checked the order quickly and understood what was wrong. He cleverly suggested they order a different one, without letting them know what had happened, which could give him time to think about how to solve the problem.
Everything seemed normal, but Baskin was lost in thought. "What should I do to solve this problem?" he asked himself. If he didn't tell the customers the mistake, he could keep the extra €1000 secretly. As he was also the cashier of the restaurant, no one would know what happened. €1000 was the tuition fee for the whole school year and his parents needn't work hard to earn money for him. Or he could use the money to buy his favorite laptop which his parents couldn't afford. This extra money was really a huge temptation to him. But in this way, he would lose his honesty and dignity.
Paragraph 1:
While he was struggling with his options, his father came over.

Dear Miss White,
I’m Li Hua, deeply sorry for not being able to attend your lecture about English history next Monday afternoon. I’m writing to ask for a leave.
I am to participate in my final-round English Speech Contest on the same day, for which I have prepared for a l ong time. Personally, I’m desperate to achieve a preferable result. There is no doubt that the lecture about English history interests me most and I will try hard to make up. Would it be possible for me to have my classmates take notes for my later use.
Hoping to have your permission.
Yours Sincerely,

Paragraph 1:
While he was struggling with his options, his father came over. Seeing his mixed expression, his father asked him what was happening. Baskin couldn't help telling him the truth. His father listened attentively and gave his advice. He told Baskin he should tell the truth and admit his mistake. Baskin thought the customers probably wouldn't notice the mistake as they were not paying too much attention. His father said that he should always be honest and that way he would always be trusted. Baskin nodded seriously.
Paragraph 2:
When the customers came to pay the bill, with his father's advice in mind, Baskin decided to do the right thing. He explained the situation to the customers and apologized sincerely for the error. The customers were surprised at this and said they hadn't noticed the mistake at all. Instead, they said that the wine they were served still tasted very good and finished by giving him a large tip. To Baskin's relief, his father also forgave him for his mistake, saying that no harm had been done and the customers were satisfied with the service Thinking
back, Baskin was grateful to his father for such good advice and also learned an important life lesson.。
