Winter holiday is coming! It's a great time to read books, isn't it？
The Day the Screens Went Blank by Danny Wallace
Stella's family love screens. But one day the screens unbelievably stop working. They worry about Stella's grandma in the countryside. But with no phone, no GPS and no Internet, the family have to work together to solve all kinds of problems.
I think this story is unusual and great because they don't get what they want in the end—they get something far better! The end really made me happy.

B
We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the future. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that come our way.
The government is trying to stress (强调) the importance of hard­working spirit education (劳动教育). But people have overlooked it in recent years. Many teens do not know the importance of hard­working and are not interested in doing so. That's why our government recently released a guideline (发布纲领), which calls for students to learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.
Jinhua Evening News did a study among nearly 3, 000 students in March. They found only 22% of primary and middle school students helped with everyday housework around the house.
“Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of hard­working, ” the guideline says.
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard­working spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real­world work experience.
As children's first teachers, parents should also teach children how to do housework at home. Students should learn one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
( )34. According to the guideline, students should ______.
A. get a working partner
B. find a well­paid job
C. leave school for work
D. have good working habits
( )35. The underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. paid little attention to
B. cared much about
C. looked down from above
D. taken notice of
( )36. The writer uses ______ to show most teens aren't interested in doing housework.
A. a study result
B. a funny story
C. a special question
D. a school report
( )37. The last two paragraphs mainly tell us ______ to help students get working spirit.
A. when schools and parents prefer
B. what schools and parents should do
C. why schools and parents are trying
D. where schools and parents hold activities
C
We like to believe that before we make a decision, most of the time, we take time to consider all the facts carefully. However, experts believe that only 5% of our decisions are based on a rational thought process. So, what influences our decision­making process?
We often leave decision­making to our instincts. Scientists have found out that if we had the choice, we would like to avoid pain rather than get something. In fact, we're twice as happy when we try to avoid a bad situation than when we experience a good one. This is why when companies send ads, they use phrases like “How to avoid…”, “Don't miss out！”, etc.
There are also physical reasons that affect our decision­making. Psychologist John Bargh carried on an experiment where people were asked what they thought of a fictional person, while holding a cold or a hot cup of coffee. Those holding the hot cup believed the person to be warmer and more sociable than those holding the cold cup. So, when temperatures rise, the more likely we are to believe in strangers.
Stress is another thing which affects our decisions. Different situations are more or less stressful for different people. Researchers have found, though, that women are more conservative about decisions when stressed, while men are to make riskier choices.
It may come as a surprise but every day from the minute we get up, we have to make countless decisions, like what to wear, what coffee to have and so on. Each choice makes our brain a little bit more tired, and this affects our decision­making. That's why important people, like presidents wearing the same three suits all the time, want to limit the small choices and spend more brain power on the bigger ones.
( )38. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

( )39. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Every day we have to make lots of big decisions.
B. People sometimes judge a person by what he wears.
C. What people wear influences their decision­making.
D. Making fewer decisions helps to save brain power.
( )40. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We make most of the decisions after our careful thinking.
B. People are likely to be happier to avoid something bad.
C. As the temperature is low, we are likely to believe others
D. People usually have risky decisions under heavy pressure.
( )41. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. tell us what influences decision­making
B. advise people to make rational decisions
C. warn people not to make risky decisions
D. show disadvantages of rational decisions

I'm proud of myself
Everyone has done something that he is proud of. When I am looking back on my old days, there is a story that always makes me feel proud and in which I helped some children who were poor.
One day, I made up my mind to go to a poor primary school in the countryside with some friends. We gave many useful school things, such as pens, pencils and rulers to the students there. They could not help smiling after receiving their favorite ones. In addition, we played games together and I even made some friends with some of them. When it was time to say goodbye, we all felt sad and I promised that we would come back again.
The reason why I feel proud is that helping others is a good deed. After all, giving is receiving. I decide to try my best to offer timely help to those in need in the future.
