A
Be ing a senior high school student, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.
It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to mak e your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced wh at many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.
This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn’t worry so much. You'll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than you'd like.
Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic. One particul ar part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you've learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.
Steve Jobs’ level of success is possible to achieve, and I aim to prove that. With the will
power
第4页（共12页）

Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get ou t . As a result, the temperature rises.
Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth suitable for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter (过滤) it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.
Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there are too
第5页（共12页）
many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hunger.
People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing is carpooling-driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turning on. Now, more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the
amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids call do just as much.
46. By the example given in Paragraph 1, the author wants to _______.
A. explain how global warming happens
B. show his feeling in a car in hot summer
C. tell us cars are causes of greenhouse gases
D. say that there are greenhouse gases in every car
47. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. light
B. greenhouse effect
C. temperature
D. heat
48. What is the effect of atmosphere?
A. It only traps the heat of the sun.
B. It does great harm to humans.
C. It makes the earth neither to hot nor too cold.
D. It prevents all the light from the sun shining on the earth.
49. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. lf th ere is greenhouse effect, all the plants will die.
B. Human beings are likely to disappear from the earth.
C. Crops can’t take in the heat if there is greenhouse effect.
D. Although greenhouse effect is necessary, too much of it will cause us to die.
50. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. What kids can do to help stop global warming.
B. Who should be responsible for the environmental problems.
C. What global warming is doing to the environment.
D. Why cars and buses pollute the air a lot

Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showroomin g”.
Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get ex pert advice from the sales assistant and you ca n get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!
51. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to
A. give two examples
B. introduce the topic
C. compare different opinions
D. get answers from readers
52. What does showrooming mean in the text?
A. Trying in shops and buying online.
B. Showing products in a room.
C. Buying something in a store.
D. Shopping on the Internet.
53. According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming?
A. The lack of time.
B. The comfort of the sofa.
C. The shortness of money.
D. The security of the product.
54. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Online shops will disappear.
B. Free gifts will surely promote sales.
C. Shops need necessary changes.
D. Shops will be replaced by online shops.
55. The author's attitude towards showrooming is .
A. critical
B. negative
C. casual
D. supportive

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well --- she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,”she said. “After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”
Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, H uw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.

Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It’s a hard life, physically very tiring.”she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted.

Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.

(RAMALLAH, West Bank) — Israel（以色列）freed 26 Palestinian（巴勒斯坦）prisoners early Wednesday, the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which had broken down since 2008. In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.
In the West Bank and Gaza（加沙）, the mood was overexcited as hundreds of Palestinians welcomed the prisoners back home, after many h ad spent more than 20 years behind bars.
Crowds of people rushed toward the 5 prisoners released to Gaza, raising them on their shoulders, waving Palestinian flags and dancing to music. Relatives held signs that read “we will never forget
our heroes.” More than 2,000 people welcomed the 21 prisoners released to the West Bank, who were greeted at a ceremony by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
Hazem Shubair, thrown into prison in 1994 for the death of an Israeli according to the Israeli Prison Service, was over delighted upon his return to Gaza. “I am speechless,” he said. “Thanks to God. God is greater than the aggressors (meaning Israel)”.
Abbas said a final peace agreement with Israel was possible on the release of the prisoners. “There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners,” he told the violent crowd.
Israel’s Supreme Court (最高法院) earlier refused an appeal that intended to cancel the prisoner release. An organization of bereaved (失去亲人的) families behind the appeal has said it fears the prisoners, all in connection to the deaths of Israelis, will return to violence once freed.
61. Why did Israel free 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesda y?
A. Because they would take part in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
B. Because that was part of an agreement between Israel and Palestinians.
C. Because the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks failed.

[1] Although known as an extraordinarily successful businessman, Warren Buffet comes off as a pre tty ordinary person.
[2] Looking back on his childhood, one can see how serious he was about making money. Buffet used to go door-to-door and sell soda pop. Later, he also worked at his grandfather’s grocery store. At the ripe age of 11, Buffet bought his first stock (股票). When his family moved to Washington D.C., Buffet became a paperboy for The Washington Post. While still in school, he was making $175 a month, a full-time wage for many young men.
[3] From the beginning, Buffet made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money that he had made from selling pop, delivering papers and so on. Between 1950 and l956, he grew his $9, 800 to $14, 000．From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends, and then gradually drew in more people through very attractive terms.
[4] Buffet applied to Harvard Business School but , making it to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome ended up a ffecting Buffet’s life deeply, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation for Buffet’s grand success.
[5] Buffet is a person of habit —same house, same office, same city. He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he hates companies that waste money on such goods. Instead, he has established the Buffet Foundation, with a detailed plan on how to invest his money more wisely to society.
