I attended a writer’s group to get feedback(反馈) on my book. But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13yearold son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nineyearold child.
The story took place at a lunch counter(柜台), where I dreamed of ordering a banana split(香蕉甜点). Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said, “Pop(使爆裂) a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split!” As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didn’t dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work. So I kept my wish to myself.
Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, “I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened.”
The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork(叉). “Pop one!” he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.
“What does it say, Mom?” Frankie asked. “Fifty cents,” I whispered, too choked to speak loudly. Frankie asked, “Well, do you have 50 cents?” I handed him the money. “OK!” Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.
I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the 1cent balloon. It was a longtime coming, but worth the wait.
It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is to give it a voice.
4.The author read the chapter to Frankie because ________.
A.she wanted to get feedback from Frankie
B.Frankie asked the author to read it to him
C.she was used to telling a bedtime story to him
D.Frankie had a strong desire for knowledge
5.What can we infer about the author from the second paragraph?
A.She spent money wisely when she was a kid.
B.She had enough money to do whatever she liked.
C.She earned her pocket money by doing housework.
D.She had no close friends to share her secret wish.
6.Seeing what Frankie did for her, the author felt ________.
A.comfortable and happy
B.puzzled and excited
C.awkward and satisfied
D.surprised and moved
7.The author learned that ________.
A.it is important to express one’s wishes
B.it is comforting to have a kid around
C.experiences in childhood affect us later in life
D.wishes can come true by just voicing(表达,说出) them
C
Next time you go shopping, keep in mind that there may be hidden cameras(摄像头) analyzing your habits. According to a 2015 survey of 150 managers from Computer Services Corporation, a quarter of British shops use facial recognition software to collect data on shopper behavior.
With concerns that facerecognition cameras “are kind of invasive(侵犯的)”, British analysis firm(分析公司) Hoxton Analytics has come up with a new way of measuring footfall(客流量)—by filming people’s shoes. The technology can collect a large amount of personal information. “We have cameras at 50 cm off the ground and they point down so they are less invasive than facial recognition,” Duncan Mann, Hoxton’s officer said.
As modern cities get fuller—70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2050—cameras and other technologies are taking over public spaces and collecting our data. Their purpose is to keep people safe, provide efficient services and prevent disasters and crimes.
But some are not happy with the cameras as far as their privacy(隐私) is concerned. “Very few of us have any real concept of what data smart cities are gathering,” said Renate Samson.
We begin giving away data as soon as we wake up. When we enter the transport system, we are giving away even more details about ourselves through smart cards, mobile phones or credit cards.
Nick Millman, director at a consulting firm thinks statistics are the key to the privacy concern. He used the example of Google Maps, which is to monitor the flow of traffic in Stockholm. He explained, “It is basically adding privacy controls to statistics so that you only see the data you need to know about.” In this case, Google gets enough data to improve traffic but not so much that it shows individual journey patterns.
8.What is the article mainly about?
A.An introduction to collecting shoppers’ data.
B.The concerns about giving away personal data.
C.The problems caused by imbalanced distribution of population.
D.An invention recording and collecting customers’ information.
9.The new technology invented by Hoxton Analytics ________.
A.can gather a lot of people’s personal data from their shoes
B.uses cameras fitted on the ground to collect customers’ data
C.has improved the accuracy of facial recognition software
D.offers a perfect solution to customers’ privacy concerns
10.According to the author, cameras in modern cities ________.
A.cause a huge waste of public spaces
B.help reduce the size of population in urban areas
C.are likely to help improve traffic conditions
D.are to avoid crimes and disasters and provide efficient services
11.What is Renate Samson’s attitude toward the rise of smart cities?
A.Worried. B.Optimistic.
C.Confused. D.Uninterested.
D
When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.”
At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from sixyearold Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病), and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission(使命) is to impact(影响) as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be collegeeducated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment(承诺) to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches(触动) your heart. My grandmother always used to say. “If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”
12.What did the author want to do at a young age?
A.Watch TV. B.Grow up quickly.
C.Become wealthy. D.Help other children.
13.What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?
A.A sixyearold kid’s request.
B. Her grandmother’s death of cancer.
C.Many volunteers’ inspiration.
D.Other organizations’ encouragement.
14.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A chance. B.A task.
C.A life. D.An organization.
15.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A.Do little things to help those around them.
B.Work hard to get a college education.
C.Challenge their friends to offer help.
D.Do charity work whoever you are.

As we all know, we can meet with various challenges in our life. Facing with challenges, how should we do?
Last month, our class climbed Mount Tai, which was more than 1,500 meters above sea level. Lacking exercises, I thought that this activity was great challenge for me. I felt very exhausted halfway that I wanted to give up. See this, my classmates and even some strangers encouraged me. In the end, I managed to reach on the top of the mountain.
Therefore,don’t give up in the face of challenges. If you are determined enough, it’s certainly that you can overcome it.
