Dear son,

Take a seat, my dear. Daddy wants to share something with you. I would like us to have a heart-to-heart-even though, over the years, you have slowly broken mine. Oh shut up; you so have! If you go out and ask any mother or father out there, I guarantee they'll say the same thing. It's just what children always do. In fact, it's what Daddy's own mother continues to remind him still, to this very day, every time they speak on the phone.

When you were a little baby, you vomited （呕吐），pooped and peed all over me. In your teen years, you came home from parties and vomited red wine all over my already-dirty carpets. There was a time you even had a go at drugs and all those things I hate. Where does such heartbreak end?

However, I still want you to know you are loved, because various parenting magazines keep telling me that's my responsibility: to make you feel special and valued and so on. And of course Daddy loves you! Don't you see? And Daddy values you. Very much so. How could he not value you, when you, as a test-tube baby, cost so much to come into this world?

Now it's time for you to hear the truth about parenting since you're old enough. And it's this: all kids annoy their parents. Like you, I started off adorable. Then I went through my weird-body-shape-and-acne （粉刺）years, lost all my cuteness, developed an attitude and never once did I apologize to my parents for stealing the best years of their lives.

When you become a parent yourself, here are some parenting skills you might want to try that have been passed down from countless generations of angry Asians before me. Passive aggression is always welcome. Regular scream “I wish you had never been born” will help keep your own kid's self-respect in check. But whatever happens, ensure you earn enough money in your adult life. Then give it to me, so I can go on expensive international tours. If you do this I promise I'll stop complaining and leave you alone, because we both know that's what we really want.

Love you lots, my cutie pie.

Daddy

Looking at the photos of public celebrations for International Pillow Fight Day in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world, one question occurred to me: What are pillows really stuffed with? Not physically, but symbolically? Armed with nothing more than bring-our-own sacrificial cushions, strangers struck heavily each other in playful feather from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why? Is there anything more to this delightful celebration?

As a cultural sign, the pillow is falsely soft. Since at least the 16th century, the humble pillow has been given unexpected meanings. The Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu tells a famous story about a wise man who meets a depressed young scholar at an inn and offers him a magic pillow filled with the most vivid dreams of a seemingly more fulfilling life. When the young man awakens to discover that his happy 50-year dream has in fact come and gone in the short space of an afternoon's nap, our impression of the pillow's power shifts from wonder to terror.

Succeeding writers have likewise seized upon the pillow. When the 19th-century English novelist Charlotte Bronte poetically observed “a ruffled （不平的，起皱的）mind makes a restless pillow”, she didn't just change the expected order of the adjectives and nouns, but instead she made unclear the boundaries between mind and matter- the thing resting and the thing rested upon.

That can be considered as a trick which perhaps Bronte learned from the Renaissance philosopher Montaigne, who once insisted that “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head”. On Montaigne's thinking, intelligence and happiness confront each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.

Based on the words of Tang, Bronte, and Montaigne, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Like a ritual of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries, an emptying of the world's collective mind. Rather than a launch-pad for weightless rest, the pillow is a symbol of heavy thought: an anchor that drags the world's soul down- one that must be lightened.

28. The writer uses the example of Tang Xianzu, wanting to illustrate that _____.

A. dreams are always wonderful while the real world is cruel

B. pillows sometimes bless people with satisfactory dreams

C. people's impression of pillows changes from wonder to terror

D. pillows symbolically convey the meaning in contrast to their soft appearance

29. From the passage, we can learn that Charlotte Bronte ___.

A. learned a trick from the Renaissance philosopher Montaigne

B. was likely to have been influenced by the thoughts of the Renaissance

C. regarded pillows as reflections of our minds

D. wrote poems about pillows

30. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 “ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head" most probably means ___.

A. pillows give us comfort

B. pillows make people more intelligent

C. people with plenty of thoughts have no inner peace

D. people can easily fall asleep when they know little

31. According to the author why is Pillow Fight Day so popular around the world?

A. Because it is a ritual of release.

B. Because it makes life delightful.

C. Because it comforts restless minds.

D. Because it contains a profound meaning of life.

D

We experience the full range of emotions during the final scenes of the movie trilogy, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Watching Frodo being surrounded by the fire we hold our breath; we overjoy when Gandalf saves him. So what's going on? There must be a special kind of movie magic that makes us care about what we know isn't real. As it happens, there is a special kind of magic, but it's not in the movie. It's in the minds of people who watch it. Dr. Brian Schwartz, professor of the University of Chicago, believes this magic is especially potent when we watch movies on the big screen.

“What happens first, ” he argues, “is that you give up control. The movie is in control. ” In normal life our brains are like tractor beams （牵引光束），busy taking in any information that seems important or interesting. This is called the attentional system. But as the characters come alive on screen, we stop sensing our body. Psychologists call this kind of mental state “flow”: when our attention is completely absorbed in one activity and there isn't any juice left in our attentional system to take in any more information. We are effortlessly swept along in the currents of the ride. This is why we love the movies: it's like going on a roller coaster （过山车）for the brain.

However, there's something else magic at work here too: in a movie theater, as we give up control, our sense of reality changes. Deep down we know that what we're seeing is make-believe, but because we're not going to act upon it, because it doesn't have a direct physical bearing upon us, we don't test if it is real. It's like that part of our brain goes on a temporary vacation. Something else is happening in the brain to make this possible too. The mind has different abilities, and each one has a distinct place in the brain. Our knowledge that we're only watching a movie happens in the front part of our brain. But emotions come from the limbic system （边缘系统），in the back of the brain. Even though our front brain knows that a movie isn't real, the back brain never gets the message.

It's a sad fact that the intensity of the emotions that movies produce in us may be decreasing. At home, or on our smart phones, movies are wonderfully convenient. But watching in this way limits their magic because we're in control; we have the power to stop the film or fast forward bits we don't like. “If you're not giving up control to the movie, ” Schwartz says, “you're getting a thinned-out movie experience. ”More control might be more convenient, but it won't mean more magic. Surely, we deserve better than that, and Frodo does too.

32. What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Distinct parts of our brain are interactive.

B. Movies on phones can take us to the state of flow conveniently.

C. The limbic system can help us sense the reality.

D. Going to theaters creates better viewing experience.

33. Why does the author mention a roller coaster?

A. To demonstrate the strong feeling of the attentional system.

B. To explain the filmmaking techniques used by directors.

C. To describe psychological methods involved in seeing a movie.

D. To illustrate the excitement that a movie can provide.

34. What does the underlined word “potent” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Subjective.

B. Complicated.

C. Effective.

D. Temporary.

35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Emotions out of Control

B. Different Choices of Moviegoers

C. Your Brain on Movies

D. The Rise of Movie Theaters

Many of the world's greatest inventions are born in China. It was the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes. 36

37 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small, which made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.

In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 38

The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making shells out of bronze and copper. 39 The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could tie them together. By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.

About 10Q0 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people with the rapid increase of trade. 40 .

A. As time went by, trade between countries also increased.

B. This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering （物物交换）.

C. They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.

D. It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.

E. However, with economies developing, such exchanges became impractical.

F. It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe.

G. People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.

Today, we're going to discuss a charming children's classic from 1976: The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein. Silverstein was an American writer, cartoonist and poet 41 for this children's story, which has been translated into more than 30 languages.

Like many of Silverstein's works, The Missing Piece is both 42 and rich with meaning. The main 43 of the story is a circular shape that gets around by rolling. It's not a full circle, 44 ，as it＇s missing a wedge-shaped （楔形的，V形的）piece of itself. It feels 45, and longs to find that missing piece of itself.

The shape goes on a（n） 46 to find that perfect wedge. It sings as it goes, has conversations along the way, and 47 the lovely scenery it passes. It meets a number of 48 wedges, but none of them are quite right. But finally, it 49 the perfect wedge. Now, the shape is a perfect circle. At first, of course, this is a 50 moment. Being totally round, the shape can roll 51 than it's ever rolled before. Soon, though, the 52 of this becomes apparent. It can no longer sing clearly, it's too difficult to stop for a nice 53 , or it cannot roll slowly enough to take in the scenery. Being complete, it_54 , is not such a great thing. The shape decides to place the wedge on the ground, and roll slowly away.

What can we learn from the story? To me, the 55 is that we feel more 56 when we're incomplete. Everyone wants to find what is missing from themselves, but actually, the journey is more fulfilling than the 57 . Rather than attempt to become perfect and whole, we should learn to cherish our 58 selves, with all of our wonderful imperfections. Not only is this a great lesson for children, but for 59 everywhere as well. It's little wonder that The Missing Piece has remained a 60 for over 40 years.

Of course, my homework was finished during the early days of the vacation. After all, study comes firstly. Besides, I did more houseworks to help reduce the heavy burden on my parents and have learned how to cook meals. I even made a big meal independent.
