Dn't like getting ut f the shwer n cld mrnings? Are yu feeling that cld wind when wrking r trying t relax?
The biggest issue that peple have is the fact that mst ld-fashined heaters are big,cst a lt t run and waste energy.Luckily,a cmpany has recently just develped a prduct which saves a tn f pwer during its peratin and is,abve all,smart and easy t use!It's called HtixPr and it's a very small,pwerful heater that cnsumes much less energy than regular heaters.
Hw Des HtixPr Wrk?
The ceramic element(陶瓷零件)stays warm30% lnger,s it desn't have t use much pwer t reheat ver and ver again. The fan inside HtixPr then sucks the air ut thrugh the ht ceramic element and distributes it evenly thrughut the rm!It can heat a rm up t 250 square feet and make it warmer in a few minutes,fr just pennies.
What Makes It S Special?
One f the amazing features it has is the prgrammable timer.Yu can prgram it and warm up yur bathrm befre yu wake up.Als,its remte cntrller makes it very easy t adjust the temperature. The cmpany als kept safety in mind in the creatin prcess --- they added a sensr which makes HtixPr stp cmpletely if it becmes t ht.
Is It Wrth It?
Dn't let yur quality f life cntinue t suffer.Save n expensive energy csts and keep warm during the winter anywhere! Purchase HtixPr at half price with free wrldwide shipping! 21.What is the main advantage f HtixPr?
A.It is delicate. B.It is efficient C.It is big. D.It is free f charge. 22.Hw des HtixPr make a rm warm?
A.By keeping a high temperature itself.
B.By string the heat inside its big bdy.
C.By heating the ceramic element again and again.
D.By taking in cld air and giving ff warm air.
23.What is a prgrammable timer used fr?

C.Turning n r ff HtixPr at the set time.
D.Turning ff HtixPr when the rm is t ht.

The ther day, while taking a drp-in art class,I had an experience that I dn't always have when I'm engaged in smething creative. I was fully in the zne.My instructr even cmmented: "Yu're n fire tday.”Painting after painting was flying ut f me.I felt free---a very unfamiliar feeling fr me.
Class started ff with quick thirty-secnd figure drawings,then we wrked ur way up t ne-minute,and then finally fur-minute sketches(素描),Ever since the instructr tld me nt t g ver the same line twice,I've really struggled with finding my freedm in figure drawing. But that day I was cmpletely free,and as a cnsequence,my line quality was much better.I felt cmpletely uncncerned with what the teacher thught f my wrk.It was ne f the mst enjyable creative experiences I've had.
Afterwards,I was reflecting n why this was such a pleasurable experience.This is hw I always want t feel while creating.
I think this was s enjyable because it was a drp-in class.Nt a full curse.Nt t get a master's degree.Therefre,I felt n respnsibility fr getting it right.I was able t take it less seriusly and just have fun with it.And I wasn't mnitring myself t make sure that I was imprving.
If yu practice at yur chsen craft,yu will imprve ver time.Wrrying abut whether yu're getting better desn't help yu imprve.It actually slws dwn yur grwth.Yur intellect might think it's helping ut,but it's actually slwing yu dwn and making yur creative prcess less fun.Eventually,there's truth t the simple saying --- practice makes perfect.Since there's n perfectin in the wrld f creativity,practice makes better.
Dn't let the perfect be the enemy f the gd.Create even thugh it wn't be perfect. Create because it wn't be perfect.Create because yur spirit needs t express itself.That is where the freedm is.That is where the jy is.

We are ften reminded f Oscar Wilde's saying that“sarcasm(讽刺)is the lwest frm f wit”while frgetting the fllwing"but the highest frm f intelligence” .Parents r teachers f teenagers,in particular,may find it hard t believe that it is actually a sign f a flexible and inventive mind.
Yet that is exactly what psychlgists and neurscientists have been arguing.They have fund that sarcasm requires the brain t jump thrugh numerus hps(圈)t arrive at a crrect interpretatin, requiring mre brainpwer than literal statements.
If yu're still nt cnvinced that yur teen's lve f sarcasm is a thing wrth celebrating, cnsider a recent experiment frm Li Huang,a psychlgist at Insead's business schl in Fntainebleau,France.
In the experiment,participants were presented with a candle,a pack f matches and a bx f tacks(图钉).Their task was t find a way t attach the candle t the wall s that it culd burn withut dripping wax n the flr. The crrect answer is t empty the bx f tacks,pin it t the
wall, and then place the candle inside-a slutin that will nly cme t mind if yu are prepared t think abut the functins f each bject.
Befre wrking n the prblem,sme participants were asked t recall a sarcastic interactin, while thers remembered a sincere r neutral exchange.Quite amazingly,the sarcastic memries mre than dubled the participants' success rate,frm arund 30% t mre than 60%.
It may initially feel like a shck when parents ntice their children using sarcasm--- a sign, perhaps, f a mre adult-like cynicism(愤世嫉俗)that cnflicts with their impressins f their children's yuthful inncence.Parents may feel particularly helpless when dealing with a teenager wh uses it in almst all interactins,as if they struggle. t express any sincere emtins.
But shuld we blame teens fr applying this handy tl? Perhaps it's better seen as the useful practice f a vital ability.Penny Pexman,a psychlinguist at the University f Calgary agrees and it is fr this reasn that she has prduced Sydney Gets Sarcastic,a strybk that prvides multiple examples f sarcasm and the reasns it was used.In a recent experiment n 5-t 6-year-lds,she shwed that children wh read and discussed the stry fund it easier t detect sarcastic statements in a fllwing test.
28.Why des the authr refer t Oscar Wilde's wrds at the beginning f the text?
A.T give a definitin f sarcasm.
B.T stress the significance f sarcasm.
C.T express his cncern abut sarcasm.
D.T shw the misunderstanding f sarcasm.
29.What can we learn abut sarcastic memries frm Li Huang's experiment?
A.They tended t stay lng with participants.
B.They ffered clues t the prblem t be slved.
C.They culd frce participants t face prblems.
D.They cntributed greatly t participants' success.
30.What might parents think f their children's sarcasm?
A.It shws their inncence.
B.It helps them express emtins.
C.It is nt apprpriate fr their age.
D.It allws them t behave like adults.
31.What's the authr's purpse in writing the text?
A.T urge parents t learn frm their children's sarcasm.
B. T teach parents hw t respnd t their children's sarcasm.
C.T shw parents the psitive side f their children's sarcasm.
D.T remind parents t teach their children t use wrds prperly.

Since the early t mid-2010s,scial media apps have made a permanent hme in many peple"s phnes,and spending time n scial media has becme as much f a daily activity as drinking water.Since s many peple are n it fr much f their days --- especially kids,teens, and yung adults --- there is increased cncern ver what scial media is ding t peple.
Many argue that scial media is an unhealthy way t pass the time,and that false infrmatin frm nline is causing cnfusin and panic.This type f thing happens with every generatin when smething new that peple dn't understand cmes alng.S many peple thught rck-and-rll was making teens mrally bad,which really wasn't the case.It is fair t say that the teenage years are hard, and that teens need an escape.Back befre phnes,teens wuld listen t rck music as a frm f escapism,r they wuld watch TV,g t the mvies,skate arund,r dress up in crazy clthes.Unfrtunately,all f thse things at ne pint in time were blamed fr being a bad influence n yung peple.Scial media is the new rck-and-rll: it's a new thing, and peple demnize(妖魔化)change.
Fr example,many believe that everything n scial media apps is filtered(加滤镜)and that seeing perfect peple and their perfectly edited lives ften leads t lts f negative emtins. Hwever,mdels,magazines, and mvies have been using retuching(修整)tls fr phts and media since Phtshp and ther pst-prductin services were invented.Scial media has made it easier t see mre edited pictures,but scial media itself isn't making peple want t lk a certain way. Peple shuld acknwledge that these pictures aren't authentic,and the psts are made t lk gd n purpsc.Scial media is nt t blame fr bdy cnfidence issues when the things peple want t lk like aren't even real in the first place.
It seems like mst issues arund scial media are user errrs, like anyne cmplaining there are t many peple being addicted t scial media.Hwever,nt everyne is addicted t scial media; peple wh have any grasp n reality wuldn't spend every waking secnd n the phne. It is really up t the individual hw they use scial media.Keeping up with the fld f psts, stries,and phts takes a lt f time -- many yung peple admit that they spend hurs n their phnes every day.Yet, this seems like an easy prblem t slve when the slutin is simply clicking ff the phne a cuple hurs early.S it is clear that mderatin is the key t dealing
with all the issues arund scial media.
32.Why des the authr mentinrck-and-rllin Paragraph 2?
A. T predict the future f scial media.
B.T underline the advantages f scial media.
C. T analyze why scial media is s ppular tday.
D.T explain why scial media is regarded as negative.
33.What des the authr think f psting edited phts n scial media apps?
A. Disturbing. B.Understandable.
C.Intlerable. D.Innvative.
34.What des the text suggest peple d abut scial media?
A.Make the best use f it.
B.Cmpletely stay away frm it.
C.Prhibit yung peple frm using it.
D.Spend reasnable amunts f time n it.
35.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A.What makes us saddicted t scial media?
B.Why is scial media s ppular amng teenagers?
C.Shuld we depend n scial media fr infrmatin?
D.Is it right t blame scial media fr all the prblems?

“G back, Mm!G back!"shuted my six-year-ld daughter,June.I quickly turned arund t cast my dubtful eyes n the back seat,wrried I had frgtten her yunger sister.I was relieved t see the girls safe and sit in their car seats,but June's expressin was ne f pure anxiety.“Mm, we have t g back,"she insisted.“Smene needs ur help!”
As I lked back frm the driver's seat,I sptted a yung man in rags playing his guitar.His skinny,pr-lking dg rested next t his feet near an ld,wrn cardbard sign that read, “Hmeless,please help.”
We'd cme acrss hmeless peple befre and had talked abut their needs and struggle.I shuld seize the chance t set a gd example fr my daughters t give a helping hand.S I searched fr sme cash, nly t find I had nthing but credit cards.“I'm srry,sweetheart,but I dn't have any cash,”I said.“I have sme,Mm!"June replied.She pened her little pink purse and pulled ut a five-dllar bill.“Oh,gd.I'll pay yu back when we get hme,”I respnded with a sigh f relief."N,Mm,”she insisted,“I want t help him.I dn't want yu t pay me back.
