You are going along in a conversation with a friend and it all seems to be good，and suddenly，you say something and the conversation stops entirely．And you‟re thinking“What happened?”You didn‟t say anything insulting(侮辱的)or mean，you just voiced your opinion．Or so y ou think…
I had lunch the other day with a dear friend．I travel a lot for work，and she used to．I was complaining about the air travel. I said how I would love some day to get into the first class cabin where sutely conditions were far better than the economy(经济舱)．My friend said “You know what I used to do? I'd buy my coach ticket, but then，at the last minute，right before boarding started，I‟d go up to the counter agent and ask if there were any first class seats still available．And often，they‟d say…yes!‟ and I'd only pay an extra $ 200 instead of $ 2000 and get to fly first．”I immediately retorted with“Oh，that would never happen now. They jam the planes so full，there‟s never an available seat to be had．"And with that，the conversation ended— at least that part of it．
It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friend‟s experience of life．I had slammed(砰地关，使劲摔)my reality in her face，as if hers didn‟t matter．
There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they do n‟t matter．We rarely mean to，yet we do it all the time．It would have been so easy for me to consider her experience in my response：“I never thought of that．I wonder if it would still work，given the general overcrowding．”I would not have thus denied either her experience or mine. And there would have been a continuing basis for conversation，had we wished to do so．Simply put，instead of listening competitively，we need to listen to learn.
24．The underlined “coach ticket” in Paragraph 2 refers to a ticket for _____________．A．the platform B．the long journey bus
C．the first class in the plane D．the economy class in the plane
25．My friend ended the conversation because she thought _____________．
A．I lost face B．I misunderstood her
C．I overlooked her life D．I voiced my opinion
26．The worst thing we do to our friends is ______________．
A．act too politely toward them B．make them feel unimportant
C．compare their experiences with ours D．end a conversation all of a sudden
27．The main purpose of the text is to _______________．
A．amuse us with a real story B．inform us of a recent discovery
C．remind us to listen to learn D．persuade us to stop insulting others
C
It might be difficult to find anyone who hasn‟t seen one of the ice bucket(桶)challenge videos or pictures．And every day there‟s a new one with a celebrity(名人)in it．Justin Bieber's video got more than one million…likes‟．Former US President George W．Bush took part in one and so did actor Tom Cruise，Internet billionaires，footballers and my neighbor Sophie．But has it achieved anything?
The challenge‟s aims were fundraising and bringing awareness to the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association(ALSA)in the US．The figures say it did．During the month of August，when the campaign was in full swing，ALSA received over $ 98m—a big jump compared to the $2．7m donated during the same period last year．Other charities have benefitted from it too，including the UK‟s Water Aid．It seems to have got money from some people who thought the ice bucket challenge was a waste of precious liquid．
But Shannon Murray，a British writer who campaigns for disability rights says：“It‟s been very celebrity-centered and it plays into our culture of putting everything about ourselves out there on social media．Some people have obviously done it to attract more public attention and that‟s up to them．Personally it makes me a bit uncomfortable．”Veteran BBC radio presenter John Humphrys isn‟t happy either．“I have mixed feelings about persuading people to support a charity with stunts(噱头)，”he says．Humphrys believes charity should be about giving because it‟s a worthwhile cause that we want to help．
The ice bucket challenge isn‟t the first to get benefits through social media．In March，Cancer Research UK raised millions when women posted pictures of themselves online wearing no makeup while donating to charity．The days of just relying on people‟s goodwill and social conscience might be over．As Humphreys puts it，“Charity has become big business，and fundraising is all about clever marketing．Pity they can‟t let the cause speak for itself．”28．The figures in Paragraph 2 show ______________．
A．the challenge has achieved its aims
B．other charities have benefitted too
C．ALSA no longer needs money
D．charity can‟t go without celebrities
29．What‟s Shannon Murray‟s a ttitude towards the ice bucket challenge? A．Supportive．B．Uncaring．
C．Doubtful．D．Respectful．
30．What will charity probably depend on in the future?
A．Various associations．B．People‟s goodwill．
C．Smart marketing．D．Social conscience．
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Does ice bucket waste precious liquid? B．Does ice bucket leave you cold? C．Does ice bucket ruin charity? D．Does ice make charity hot?
D
Child abuse and child neglect are serious crimes．Some U．S．1aws are designed to protect children from their very own parents．Recently，two parents who live in the state of Maryland，near Washington，D．C．，were found guilty of “unsubstantiated neglect”(未经证实的疏忽).
What was their crime? The parents let their two children walk home together unsupervised (无人监管的)from a neighborhood park．The children are a 10-year old boy named Raft and his 6-year old sister Dvora．The two siblings like to play at their neighborhood park．After playing，they walk home—by themselves．And “that is a problem”，says Maryland‟s child protective services agency．And this incident has restarted a debate in the U．S．about the amount of independence parents should give their children．
Some people object to courts telling parents how to raise their children．They also think children benefit from exploring the outside world without a lot of supervision．Raft and Dvora‟s parents, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv，are both trained scientists．They defend “free-range parenting．”Free-range is usually a term used to describe farm animals that live uncaged. With parents，it means loosening control over your children．Danielle Meitiv explains．“The idea of free-range parenting is really that your children need the freedom to explore. They need to be a1one，without parents．They learn to take risks．They learn to be independent．”
But opponents say this so called“free-range parenting” can put children in danger．They say children may not be able to safely explore the world alone．They may not be able to cross the street safely．They may get lost．They could get hurt or，a parents‟ worst nightmare，kidnapped.
The Meitiv parents say they slowly let their two children take walks by themselves．They first made sure Rafi and Dvora knew the area well．But on December 20，2014，the two young Meitivs went farther than usual．They walked home from a park that is a little more than a kilometer away．Police officers stopped the children as they walked along a busy street．They drove the children home．What happened next came as a shock，says Alexander Meitiv，their father．
32．The underlined part “this incident”refers to the children‟s______________.
A．playing outside B．being treated badly
C．walking home alone D．committing serious crimes
33．In what sense are unsupervised children similar to uncaged animals?
A．They have difficulty finding their home．
B．They are in the control of their parents．
C．They always depend on each other．
D．They are free to explore the world．
34．Free-range parenting is not favored by those who think ________________．A．children are too young to take good care of themselves
B．parents should give their children much independence
C．family education is the most important for children
D．not all parents are well trained
35．We can infer from the text that ________________．
A．Raft and Dvora were very naughty
B．children are not expected to take risks
C．parents should loosen control over their children
D．the Meitivs didn‟t neglect their children on purpose
