As a student, I get so many assignments every day. I have to stay up late in order to finish all my homework. I used to complain about all this pressure (11) school with my classmates. We did not appreciate our teachers for their hard work. We only knew that we got a lot of homework.
After a few months, we did not complain about homework anymore because we knew that our teachers worked (12) (hard) than we did. We had no right to complain. Sometimes, we said, “I didn’t go to bed until 12:00 o’clock last night. Now I just want to sleep.” Our teacher would answer us, “I go to bed at 1:00 a.m. every day.” Since we knew how hard teach ers work, we started to appreciate them. To give our thanks, we wrote a big card to the teachers (13) it was teachers’ day. When they got our card, they (14) (touch) because their students finally knew the
teachers’ effort.
After giving the card, I realized (15) powerful the sentence “thank you” is. When we give our thanks to somebody, the world is full of love. I say “thank you” to my friends, family, classmates, teachers, and even strangers. I like to see the smiles on their faces, so saying “thank you” every day is the way I make the world a better place.
Section B
Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.6%
The next time you’re riding a subway or bus, pay attention to your fellow passengers. Chances are you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 16 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 17 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.
As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 18 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 19 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 20 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.” As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.
In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:
●Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your body
is positioned in relation to the device.
●Take frequent 21 when using any kind of mobile device.
●When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable viewing angle.
For those who simply can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist – downloading a special app（应用程序）could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, o bliging you to adjust your angle.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A8%
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
More and more shoppers are buying things online these days, allowing them to avoid aggressive salespeople and long lines at checkout counters. In spite of online convenience, however , there are some items — like clothes — that customers prefer to examine before buying. In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and 22 the gap between online and in-store retail (零售).
A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans, Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping experience for its customers.
Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans 23 down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and 24 the Hointer app, after which they select the size and press “try on.” The app then directs them to a specific dressing room. German-made robots bring out the 25 jeans and deliver them through a chute (斜槽) to the dressing room in about 30 seconds. Immediately after 26 pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute, the “outbox,” they disappear from the list in the app.
Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe (刷卡) of a credit card. And interacting with a salesperson is optional! This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal: developing 27 that supports a retail revolution.
Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has come up with a more personalized shopping experience. Although it is — in fact — an online retailer, Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops. Shoppers make an appointment online before arriving at a Guideshop, where they receive one-on-one 28 from a fitting guide. Because these shops have limited inventories (存货), shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select. But guides help shoppers make online purchases before they leave, after which the items will be 29 to customers in one or two days.
While Hointer focuses on convenience, Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service. But both efforts have one thing in common: giving clothing retailers a new look for the 21st century.

(A)
Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. Some types of snake poison make the bite
area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakes:
The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant — or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.
A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.
Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.
Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch (攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Sin ce the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.
The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.

PEOPLE— ________
This Th ursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler (偷运者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto (聚居区). She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children’s real names buried in jars in her neighbours’ gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.
You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help.During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children. How did you persuade parents to give up their children?
I had to answer honestly that I didn’t even know if we would get past the guards.
What was the most frightening moment?
When I saw a priest (牧师) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in their best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.
How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside. Did you tell your own two children what you did?
I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more.
