  Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class some fun homework---to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

  Most of the class drew a turkey or other traditional things. But Douglas drew a different kind of picture. He drew a hand. Just an empty hand.

  Douglas was a different boy. He was poor and unhappy. As other children played, Douglas was likely to stand close by the teacher’s side.

  His classmates were surprised at his picture. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us.

  The teacher asked him whose hand it was. The little boy said in a low voice, “It’s yours.”

  She remembered the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was the most thankful for his teacher’s hand.

  Tears came into the teacher’s eyes.

  Dear Editor,

  Can’t your newspaper do something about the habit if hitchhiking?

  “So you think Kyle follows me around because he doesn’t have other good friends?”

  “Yes. Do you know anyone who you think might get along well with Kyle?”

  Ethan thought for a moment. “Tim’s kind of quiet at school. He’d love a new friend.”

  “Then call Tim and invite him along. He and Kyle might become good friends.”

  I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.

  But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.

  However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesn’t care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.

  I’m still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.

  We all know that the British people love their manners (礼仪). They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they said “sorry” up to eight times a day.

  After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative (保守的) country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false (错误的) because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say “please”.

  Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think.

  ( )32. What don’t the British people often do?

  A. Eat fish and chips.

  B. Have no quite good manners.

  C. Be polite to others.

  D. Talk about the weather.

  ( )33. What do the British people say up to eight times every day?

  A. Hello. B. Thank you.

  C. I don’t know. D. Sorry.

  ( )34. What does the writer think are the reasons why the British people are so polite?

  ① The upper classes should have good manners.

  ② They have learned much about politeness at school.

  ③ They like to hold back their true feelings.

  ④ They are not honest at all.

  A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④

  Think about your favourite tween (8-12岁青少年) TV shows. Is there a girl on them who isn’t pretty, or who doesn’t worry about what she looks like?

  According to a recent study, tween TV shows send the message that girls should be beautiful, no matter what other abilities or talents they have.

  The American researchers studied 40 different popular tween TV shows from 2011. They found that most of the man or boy characters in the shows looked normal, but more than half of the female (女性的) characters in the show were described as “very beautiful”. The girls on the shows also worried more about what they looked like.

  The researchers say this difference suggests (暗示) that “boys with common looks can still be a part of the story, but if you are a girl, you must be beautiful.”

  Some of the female characters on these shows were talented or acted bravely. But even if girls can do everything boys can do, they still have to look pretty.

  Tweens are at an age when they are forming ideas about who they are and how they should look and act. It means these shows are likely to make them develop a very narrow (狭隘的) idea.

  The researchers suggested that parents should help reduce the negative (负面的) influence of these shows by watching TV with their children and talking to them about what they see.

  ( )21. The passage is about a study that was on boy characters.

  ( )22. The American researchers studied 40 different popular characters.

  ( )23. From the study we learn that in tween TV shows there are a lot of women or girls looking pretty.

  ( )24. The tween TV shows may tell us that girls should be more talented.

  ( )25. The main idea of the passage is that tween TV shows may have a bad influence on girls.

  Google and Toyota have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself. The self-driving car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.

  The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system (系统) on the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car and a LIDAR sensor (激光雷达传感器) on top of it. A computer processes the information and decides what to do. “The self-driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use,” an engineer of Google says. “And what’s more, it will make car accidents less and make the world a safer place.” The self-driving car has driven hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.

  According to CNN, self-driving cars will also help to reduce (减少) the number of cars in big cities. “Self-driving cars would be able to send you to the workplace and then pick up another person instead of stopping in a parking lot.”

  ( )30. We don’t know the price of the self-driving car because     .

  Kenya, a country in East Africa, is known for its amazing wildlife, especially lions. However, over the last decade (十年) the number of lions has decreased from 10,000 to over 2,000. Most of them were killed by the local people because they had to do so to protect their cows.

  As well as the cows, wild animals should be protected. Now because of a creative idea thought of by a young boy, this problem can be solved peacefully.

  At the age of 11, Richard Turere was put in charge of the family’s cows. The local people think this job is an honor since cows are considered the family fortune.

  The only problem was that their land was next to Nairobi National Park, home to the largest number of lions in the world. As a result, the cows were often eaten by the hungry lions.

  Richard noticed that when he walked around the cows with a flashlight, the lions kept away because they were afraid of humans and the flashlight. So he decided to create an automated (自动的) flashlight. Richard tied some bulbs (灯泡) from broken flashlights around the cow stockade (栅栏). Under an automated lighting system, the bulbs flashed one by one, just like someone walking around with a flashlight that could keep lions away. 

  Since Richard’s invention was put to use, none of Richard’s cows has lost. As it only costs $10 to make this simple device, it can be widely used in Kenya in the future.

  ( )33. How many lions died during the last decade?

  A. About 2,000. B. About 8,000.

  C. About 10,000. D. About 1,200.

  ( )34. Richard wanted to make an automated flashlight because     .

  A. he wanted to became famous

  B. he had lots of broken flashlights

  C. he found lions were afraid of humans and flashlights

  D. he wanted to make the night as bright as the day

  ( )35. How did the automated flashlight drive lions away?

  A. By making loud noise.

  B. By producing strong light that could kill lions.

  C. All the bulbs flashed at the same time.

  D. Its bulbs flashed one by one.
