On a hot muggy〔闷热的〕 August afternoon, I had every reason to feel sorry for myself -- my flight home was full and late.
I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.
56 , he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me.
"Great," I thought, "now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete."
As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasn't me he was after. It was my hat!
I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.
With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).
Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.
He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.
With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.
I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands
in awe.
After this exchange, he still hadn't spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.
Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, "Mister, you sure are lucky."
"Yes," I said, "I sure am."
That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.

Last year, A Bite of China, made by CCTV’s Documentary Channel, sparked discussion not only on Chinese food, but also on locally made documentary programs.
When you think of documentaries, you may think of them as long, boring programs. But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes. With fascinating footage〔影片片段〕 and stories, documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn’t necessarily know about.
So, what makes a good documentary, and what should we pay attention to when we watch one? Here, we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries.
Pay attention to the themes
While watching a documentary, keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on. Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response?
Think critically
Listen to what the people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following questions: If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept, would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying? Do the arguments make sense?
Check the sources
If you’re sitting at the computer and can’t think of anything to do, why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate? You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary.
Who are the creators?
The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matter is presented. For instance, as the documentary 2016: Obama’s America was directed in large part by a conservative writer, it’s not surprising that it’s critical of President Obama from the begi nning.
60. Which of the following is the most proper to describe documentaries?
A. non-fictional
B. controversial
C. subjective
D. thoughtful
61. The passage is mainly written to ______.
A. inform us of factors of good documentaries.
B. help us enjoy documentaries better.
C. introduce ways of making documentaries.
D. help us figure out themes of documentaries.
62. Why is 2016: Obama’s America mentioned in the article?
A. Because the author dislikes Obama.
B. Because it is directed by a writer.
C. Because it is quite popular in China.
D. Because it is a persuasive example.
63. According to the passage, ______.
A. it is always difficult to get the themes of documentaries.
B. financial backers often appear in documentaries.
C. it’s better to think twice about what is in documentaries.
D. many points of documentaries are not accurate.

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing
and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop,iPods,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .
Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences i n the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my histor y class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan.
A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.
( ) 1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A. the course material
B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics
D. the author’s class regulator
( ) 2.The underlined word “engage〞 in para.4 probably means ____
A. explore
B. accept
C. change
D. reject

B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students’ concentration on co urse evaluation
( ) 4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating〔发电〕and transmission〔输送〕system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar pants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants〔政府拨地〕offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads ,leaving public land in between privately owned land . In much of the west ,some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped ,and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management,with the completion or the interstate highway system ,many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well ,have lost their lifeblood and died .
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the west .this is not an argument against building then ,we need alternative energy badly .and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now .
So trade-offs will have to be made .some scenic sport will be sacrificed .some species (物种)will be forced to move ,or will be carefully moved to special accommodations ,deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects .
The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter .the 21st century development of the American west as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money to do a lot of good .but it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroad and the highway.
The money set aside in negotiated trade –offs and the institution that control will shape the west far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines .so let’s remember the effects of the railroad and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the west .
( ) 1.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. some railroad stops remained.
C. land in the west was hard to manage.
D. land grants went into private hands.
( ) 2. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
A. the transmission of power
B. the use of money and power
C. the conservation of solar energy
D. the selection of an ideal place
( ) 3.What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A. cautious
B. approving
C. doubtful
D. disapproving
( ) 4.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. how the railways have affected the west
B. how solar energy could reshape the west
C. how the effects of power plants can be reduced
D. how the problems of the highways have been settled
