AThirty-three years ago, English comedian Marty Feldman completed the autobiography, put it away and set off for Mexico to make a film. He never returned, dying of a heart attack during filming.Only Feldman’s widow Lauretta knew about the autobiography and the valuable material it contained, but she found reading it too painful and the book remained a secret, hidden from the public.It was only after her deat h in 2010 that the family friend Mark Flanagan discovered the manuscript. Four years later from then, it was published for the first time.The comedian and actor famous for his crooked eyes once wrote: “My eyes perhaps brought on by an accident when a boy stuck a pencil in my eye at school or the result of a boating accident, when I almost drowned. My looks are my comic equipment, and they are the right packaging for my job.”Despite being told he was too “strange”for TV by broadcasting legend David Frost, Feldman made a breakthrough in 1967. He became famous for writing, and then landed a successful run of hit TV shows in the Sixties and Seventies, both in the UK and America. Feldman’s comic genius also led to films, including a memorable role as Igor in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, starring Gene Wilder.He died suddenly in1982 aged 48 on location in Mexico while shooting a film.Flanagan says: “The day Marty shot his final scene, Graham Chapman received a frantic call from him: ‘Please come quickly---- I think I’m dying.’Graham rushedto Marty’s room, knowing from the tone of his voice that this was not as usual. Marty was still alive but laboring, and Graham asked someone to call an ambulance and the hotel to find life-saving equipment. ‘It was not enough to save him.’”21. Why didn’t Feldman’s wife want to publish his autobiography?A. She liked to keep secret from the public.B. She felt sad when she read it.C. She didn’t know his autobiography at all.D. She had a quarrel with her family friend.22. How long had Feldman been dead before his autobiography was first published?A. 32 years.B. 24 years.C. 18 years.D. 33 years.23. What did Feldman think of his appearance?A. He thought himself to be very handsome.B. He thought his looks did bad for his performance.C. He thought he was born crooked eyes.D. He thought his looks contributes to his career.24. From the passage, we can know __________.A. David Frost thought Feldman was a legend and geniusB. Feldman telephoned his friend before he diedC. Feldman was shot when making a filmD. No one knew Feldman died in a hotelBNo messy coins—and more importantly -- no embarrassment. This is how young Chinese "go Dutch" these days—scan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click.It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat."It has made going Dutch less embarrassing and so much more fun," said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. "Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so." Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. It's being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear "losing face," it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibaba's Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function.The smartphone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine enjoys a manicure （美甲）once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. "It's just really convenient," she said. "I wouldn't have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps." Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. "You can make do without a wallet but can't live without your smartphone when you go out these days," Zhao said.25. What is the advantage for the young people to pay their share via smart phones?A. Saving much money.B. Avoiding embarrassment of paying the bills.C. Contacting others more easily after dinner.D. Having more convenience than other ways.26. According to the article, why do many old folks "fight" at dinner parties ?A. Because they think splitting bills funny.B. Because they want to know who is rich.C. Because they want to pay the bill.D. Because they figure out who owes what.27. What do people think about WeChat wallet and Alipay wallet ?A. Smart phones with them cost a lot of money.B. Neither of them will win in the competition.C. Both of them are acceptable.D. The payment platform should be improved.28. What Zhao said in the last paragraph means _____.A. the wallets are not necessary any moreB. she bought all that she needs through the Internet.C. she doesn’t know how to work with phonesD. the smartphone apps change people’s lifeCAfter a few moments, my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough: “How do you like driving a cab?”“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you? His reply intrigued me. “I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money doing something else.”I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?’’“I’m in the neurology department at New YorkHospital.”Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.“Could I ask a big favor of you? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired unless his old man knows someone who owns a business, and I don’t.”I paused. “Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”He didn’t respond for a while. Finally, he said: “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.”I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he scribbled his name on it and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.After I nagged, yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robbie sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was beaming. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.Robbie got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fit in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robbie and he was accepted by BrownUniversity. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became OB-GYN chief president at Columbia-PresbyterianMedicalCenter.Some might call it fate, and I guess it was. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.29. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in the second paragraph mean?A. interestedB. confusedC. benefitedD. challenged30. After the author got the passenger’s name, he ___________.A. found that his son got the summer job immediately.B. found his son wasn’t interested in getting a summer job.C. had difficulty persuading his son to send his school record.D. asked for his help more than once.31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author loves his job and devotes himself to it.B. Robbie was very eager to work at New YorkHospital.C. The small summer job led to Robbie’s career.D. Dr. Plum promised to help the author without hesitation.32. The author develops the article mainly by________.A. providing examplesB. following the natural time orderC. making comparisonsD. presenting causes and effectsDOne of my friend expressed concern about the “listening” capability of smart phones.She said she had been planning a funeral and searched for funeral homes. She typed “f-u-n-e-r-a-l”and Google suggested funeral homes near her as well as other funeral-related websites.Just then, a friend called her. The friend suggested that the woman make food called “funeral potatoes” for a gathering after the service.After the call ended, the woman returned to her Internet search. She again typed “f-u-n-e-r-a-l”. This t ime, the first suggestion to appear on Google was “funeral potatoes”.It seemed the cell phones had listened to what they were talking about. Cell phones may indeed be listening to us, even when we are not using them. Stories on the Internet tell of people who got Internet search results or advisements based on words they said aloud near their cell phones.When we give an app permission to use our cell phone microphone it is not clear when it is listening to us. There are no signal lights or icons that show when the microphone is turned on.How should we stop our phones from listening? First, be sure to check the permissions you have given apps to access the microphone on your phone. Some apps need the microphone access to work correctly, but others do not. Never give permission to use your microphone unless the app needs access to it.Second, turn off the microphone for any apps you do not want to have access to your microphone. You may want to turn off microphone access for all of the apps on your phone. If you find an app requiring microphone access you can always turn it back on again.To make sure apps are not listening to you, turn off microphone access on your iPhone. Go to Settings, then Privacy, then Microphone, to see a list of all of the apps that have asked for permission to use your microphone.Turn off permission for any apps you do not want using your phone’s microphone.You can also turn the phone’s power off or leave the phone in another room to make sure you are not being listened to.33. What’s the passage mainly about?A. Microphone is useful in life.B. Using microphone is dangerous.C. How to use microphone correctly?D. Microphone may listen to you.34. When the microphone is turned on, __________.A. no sign will warn youB. the signal lights will be onC. some icons will remind youD. the bell will ring35. Which of the following advice is mentioned in the passage?A. Unload some apps.B. Don’t allow the app to use microphone unless necessary.C.
