2. You must have heard the name of Michael Jordan, the God of basketball. When he was young his father always told him that if one has a passion to do something, then nothing Is impossible in this world. He laughed and didn’t believe it. His father decided to do something.
One day, Michael’s father showed him an old dirty T-shirt that was worth $1, and asked him to sell this T-shirt for $2. Michael consented to do it. Michael cleaned that T-shirt, ironed it and made it like a new one. Then he took it to the railway station and sold it for $2.
The next day Michact’s father gave Michael a second T-shirt and said that T-shirt would be sold for $20. Michael took it and thought hard. He cleaned the T-shirt, put a sticker of a Mickey Mouse on it and came to the school where only the children from rich families studied. Finally, one child liked the sticker very much and his father bought the T-shirt for $20.
On the third day, Michael felt tired and wanted to go to the amusement park. Unexpectedly, his father gave Michael another T-shirt and asked him to sell it for $200. Michael refused.
It was a sky-high selling price in his eyes. He even doubted his father said that intentionally. But he had to agree because his father insisted he should try. After thinking, he went to a city where a famous actress Just came. Michael tried to approach that actress and finally got an autograph(亲笔签名) on that T-shirt. He took it to the crowd. When people knew the T-shirt contained that actress, autograph bidding (出价) started and finally a man who paid highest got that T-shirt for $2000. Michael told the whole incident to his father. His father hugged him and said, One day you’ll achieve a great place in your life .You can do any-thing with this spirit.

3. Will printed newspapers disappear one day? It’s quite possible. Here are some reasons.
First of all, printed newspapers aren’t the only way to get information. You can find the information on the Internet. Besides, you can read a lot of information online for free,which make the Internet even more attractive.
Lots of people are becoming Internet users, and most of Internet users read news online. For example, I usually get new information about events that happen in the world by reading short messages on Twitter. As far as I know, students in our university hardly read newspapers. One can argue that older generations may have been used to reading printed newspapers and do not want to change anything, but research proves the opposite. According to a study, the number of Inter-net users between the ages of 70 and 75 has increased from 26% to 45% within four years.This fact sounds strange but 4% of Internet users are over 73 years old.
Where do newspapers get their money? The answer is “advertisers”.But will ad continue to put ads in printed newspapers if they are not that successful? It is rather expensive to print ads in a newspaper, especially when you have a lot of other opportunities. Online advertisements are becoming more and more popular. It is beneficial to both sides because it is easier to track (跟踪) how many clicks have been made on this link than to find out how many people have actually read a
newspaper and paid attention to advertisements. Also,printed newspapers are not environmentally friendly. They need tons of wood, lots of electricity and many delivery (运输) ways to produce and transport the papers.
1. The first reason for the possibility of printed newspapers disappearance in the near future is
that_________.
A．newspapers are expensive
B．the Internet is available to everybody
C．newspapers provide nothing interesting
D．the Internet provides a lot of free information

A．old people also love new things
B．Newspapers are losing their readers.
C．Old people are used to reading newspapers .
D．Newspapers aren’t suitable for Internet users.
3. The last Paragraph mainly shows that printed newspapers______.
A．harm the environment
B．need high production costs
C．lack convenient delivery ways
D．need many workers to deliver them
4. What is the text mainly about?
A．How people read news today.
B．Why the Internet is important.
C．How people get information today.
D．Why printed newspapers may disappear.
4. When we use “okay”, “OK” , “kk” or other similar words at work, we may pass on meanings we don’t intend. “OK” is a basic word of acceptance we say out lo ud to show agreement, but when you use it in digital work spaces such as Slack, or email, you may be communicating negativity or anger. In the mind of an anxious employee, an “OK” or “okay” can become roof of Trendiness and
Judgement in text-based communic ation. When the boss answers a deadline request with just“OK”in an email, the two-letter word can suddenly sound indescribable. When a colleague replies to a paragraph-long question with a one letter on Slack, it can send us into an anxious panic, thinking the
sender is mad at us. Why does simply saying “okay” or any of its other forms, such as the briefer “kay“, or “ kk”, not always sound OK online? One expert has an answer.
Gretchen Mcculloch, an Internet linguist and author of the upcoming book Because Internet, said OK is not born to be rude but something else matters. “Anything that’s shorter can sound rude, and anything that’s longer can sound more polite, ”Mcculloch said. This may be one subconscious reason that many of us add our Oks with pleasant ex pression like OK, great! ”or OK, sounds good “to express that we come in peace. Those extra words can make all the difference. ” Having two things there, listeners may feel you have gone through a bit of an extra effort and it is that extra effort that makes some-thing more polite Mcculloch said, “These real unnoticeable things are often what our vague (模糊的) social impressions are made out of.”
1. Which of the following idea may the writer support?
A．Be careful using “OK ”in online work-place communication.
B．The meaning of OK “varies from person to person.
C．Try to avoid using”OK “in group communication.
D．OK ”may have rich meanings in the work-place.
2. what do the examples in Paragraph 2 probably imply?
A．OK“sometimes shows satisfaction with work.
B．OK”“in written form is hard to express feelings.
C．It’s best to use”OK“less when facing unfamiliar people.
D．Simply replying with “OK” may cause misunderstandings at work.
3. What may influence the impression of a reply according to Mcculloch?
A．The length of it
B．The ending words.
C．the response speed.
D．The pronunciation of it.
4. How to use “OK ”to make a friendly reply?
A．Express more positive feelings instead of only saying OK
B．Take extra time to practice saying OK in a pleasant way
C．Add extra words based on the characters of the listeners
D．Find some more polite words to replace it.
5. Family vacations are a must whenever you have time.As a matter of fact,you never have to spend
a lot of money taking a break because this can be done in various ways. 1 .
To begin with,you can just stay in a place near your house as long as you have the chance to be with your family.You can also have just a simple dinner where your family members can just talk to each other and have fun. 2 .In addition,it provides you with relaxation and moments to share with your family. 3 .That is because at the end of the day what matters the most is not how much money you have spent,but the quality of time you have given to your family.
