A

June came and the hay was almost ready for cutting．On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr．Jones went to Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday．The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting, without bothering to feed the animals．When Mr．Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the world" over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed．At last, they could stand no longer．

One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns（角） and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains．It was just then that Mr．Jones woke up．The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips （鞭子） in their hands, whipping in all directions．This was more than the hungry animals would bear．Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters．

Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with horns and kicked from all sides．The situation was quite out of their control．They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising （起义） of creatures whom they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose frightened them．After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves．A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully．

The Future Stars D．Rebellion of Cows

General introduction

The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality childcare in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations.

A healthy curiosity about learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most Important time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling. Hours of operation

Childcare will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday except for holidays. Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm.

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box. If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.

29．The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A．remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator C. To tell the benefits of childcare.

B．tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C．share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D．analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

30．According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.

A．turn around and greet one another

B．look around or examine their phone

C．make eye contact with those in the elevator

D．try to keep a distance from other people

31．Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

32．The writer wrote the passage in a tone of ___________.

A．disapproved B．objective C．negative D．supportive

Does a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?

China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys the pride as the UK’s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.

With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?

One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.

Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”

Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.

And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t

wasted.”

33 What is the passage mainly about?

A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.

B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.

C. Tea break plays an important role in people’s life in Britain.

D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.

34. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.

A. £400 is lost in working hours for each person

B. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working day

C. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each year

D. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day

35. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?

A. Doubtful.

Positive.

E

What makes a good school?

I'm a parent of two elementary students．The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age．What I think of a good school is communication between teachers．students and parents． 36 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents．

37 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much．On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school． 38 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US．

However．choosing a career in education is not just for a good job．A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life． 39 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers’ names． 40 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience．When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents，it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend，not just GOOD．

A．I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions，not even a one-word response．

B．There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures． B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D.

I know how you feel when hearing this. But don’t worry. We live in China, and Africa and American are so far away.

Ebola is named after the Ebola River in Congo, a very large country in Central Africa. The first person who got Ebola was found there in 1976.

Scientists believe that Ebola first spread from animals to humans because people in Africa ate meat of wild animals. When one gets Ebola, he or she may suffer from fever and headaches. If the person’s immune(免疫力) system is strong enough to beat the disease, he or she may get well. And after that the person won’t get Ebola for at least ten years.

Though African countries have experienced a few Ebola outbreaks, the outbreak in 2014 was the most serious one and it was very difficult to control. Ebola outbreaks in the past were all in villages in Central Africa, but this one spread to towns and cities. However, there is good news: Ebola doesn’t spread through air like the common cold. One will get Ebola only if he or she physically(身体上) touches an open wound on the person who carries the disease.

If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with

you, can you remember their numbers?

To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. However, because

of the smartphone (智能手机), many of us are losing this ability,

Record Japan reported.

What’s more, smartphones make our skills at giving

directions weak, as well as killing face-to-face communications. Even when friends are having a meal together, it’s common for most to check their phones.

According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, an American company, Chinese people spend on average 170 minutes on their smartphones daily.

For students, an to smartphones does no good for studying. Research in Japan showed children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones do much worse in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.

It’s true that the smartphone has made our lives easier. But many also think they spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app(应用程序) called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed (种子) that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5 % discount (折扣) if they don’t check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hopes it gives people a way to enjoy their meal and really talk with friends and family in person.
