Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏) disease. One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam — became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.
“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”
During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sam’s mother, had an idea about Sam writing a children’s book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sam’s experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.
“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.
Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.
“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.
Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sam’s ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.
Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.
Sam’s father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.
“FedEx Ground learned about Sam’s pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, ‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’”
The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.
Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children’s hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.
4. We can learn from the text that Sam Allred _____.
A. was a healthy boy B. was popular at an early age
C. sang the song with his sister D. worked in his father’s company
5. Opening Hearts is a book that _____.
A. is a best seller B. is about Sam’s sister
C. was published when Sam was 13 D. was written by Sam and his mother
6. What is FedEx Ground’s attitude towards Sam’s career?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Approving. D. Uninterested.
7. Which of the following can best describe Sam Allred?
A. Optimistic and warm-hearted. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Unusual and confident. D. Friendly and brave.
C
Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.
So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?
To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
8. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability?
A. Social factors.
B. Teaching methods.
C. Personal preferences.
D. Psychological differences.
9. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?
A. To persuade boys to read more often.
B. To learn what boys are most interested in.
C. To help boys improve their language ability.
D. To show that adults are good reading role models.
10. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?
A. Before and after class.
B. At any time of the school day.
C. At regular times during class.
D. When they are in the lower grades.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To show students ways to improve their reading.
B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.
C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.
D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability.
D
Google’s new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
12. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass.
B. It enables easy internet access.
C. It allows of hands-free photography.
D. It can be worn on your clothing.
13. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. brief B. touching. C. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.
14. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The popularity of the Internet.
B. The advance in technology.
C. The rise of the smartphone industry.
D. The reduction in the price of lens.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Digital Camera from Google.
B. New Devices in the Age of Apps.
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.
D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.

Save the memory. 20 This is not one of those regular days so you ought to save the moment. It will make your trip more enjoyable after all that craziness; you get something to review the good times.

B. Get prepared for everything new.
C. This is all we expect from a trip.
D. Seize the moment by taking pictures.

Dear Mr. Smith，
I am very excited to learn that our English learning club is going to start an English magazine.It is indeed a wonderful idea and I'm sure it will make a success.
I think it should be best if the school magazine would have 3 columns, such as School News, Teachers' Advice and Students' Voice. From the School News Column we can learn about what is going on in our school.In Teachers' Advice, our teachers can give us advice on how we can learn English more efficiently.Students' Voice will offer us a space to freely express our thoughts and feelings about our lives and studies.
I believe this magazine will surely benefit us, and I am looking forward to reading it.
Yours sincerely，

His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video — and Sam — became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldn’t have expected the response.
“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”

These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.
Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.

Google’s new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
12. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass.
B. It enables easy internet access.
C. It allows of hands-free photography.
D. It can be worn on your clothing.
13. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. brief B. touching. C. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.
14. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The popularity of the Internet.
B. The advance in technology.
C. The rise of the smartphone industry.
D. The reduction in the price of lens.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Digital Camera from Google.
B. New Devices in the Age of Apps.
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.
D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.

Dear Mr. Smith，
I am very excited to learn that our English learning club is going to start an English magazine.It is indeed a wonderful idea and I'm sure it will make a success.
I think it should be best if the school magazine would have 3 columns, such as School News, Teachers' Advice and Students' Voice. From the School News Column we can learn about what is going on in our school.In Teachers' Advice, our teachers can give us advice on how we can learn English more efficiently.Students' Voice will offer us a space to freely express our thoughts and feelings about our lives and studies.
I believe this magazine will surely benefit us, and I am looking forward to reading it.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
