The opening and closing of the doors are the most significant actions of man’s life. What a 36 lies in doors!
No man knows what awaits him when he opens a door. 37 the most familiar room, where the clock ticks and the health glows red at dusk may harbor 38 . The worker may actually have called and 39 the leaking pipe. The cook may have been ill and demanded her passports.
There are many kinds of doors. Revolving doors for hotels, shops and public buildings. They are 40 the busy, bustling ways of modern life. Can you 41 William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens skipping through a 42 door？ There are double doors, sliding doors, stage doors and glass doors.
The 43 and mystery of a door lies in its quality of being hidden. A glass door is not a door at all, but a window. The meaning of a door is to 44 what lies inside; to keep the heart in suspense.
Also, there are many ways of opening doors. There is the cheery 45 of elbow with which the waiter opens the kitchen door. There is the sympathetic and awful 46 of th e dentist’s maid who opens the door into the operating room and, without speaking, 47 that the doctor is ready for you.
The opening of doors has in it some flavor of the 48 , some sense of moving into a new moment. Even in 49 , the opening of a door may bring relief. But the closing of doors could be
50 , A door closed brings 51 to an end. And there are degrees of sadness in the closing of doors.
A door slammed is a confession of weakness. A door 52 shut may often be the most tragic gesture in life.
The opening and closing of doors is a part of the serious fluency of life. Life will not stay 53 and let us alone. We are 54 opening doors with hope, closing them with despair. Life 55 not much longer than a pipe of tobacco, and destiny knocks us out like the ashes.
36. A. mystery B. relief C. scenery D. pleasure
37. A. So B. Still C. Even D. Also
38. A. wishes B. puzzles C. surprises D. changes

44. A. busy B. hide C. discover D. exhibit
45. A. knock B. bump C. push D. touch
46. A. silence B. noise C. voice D. peace
47. A. announce B. admits C. implies D. expects
48. A. darkness B. certainty C. possibility D. unknown

A
Schools are being urged to go back to “chalk and talk” teaching that was once wide ly used in Britain—in order to reproduce the success the traditional methods now have in China.
Education Minister Nick Gibb said having a teacher speak to the class as a whole from the front was much more effective than children working on their own—the most important method in schools over the past 40 years.
Researchers have found that children in China achieve marks in maths up to 30 per cent higher than English pupils of the same age.
In “whole class” teaching, which was common in this country until the 1950s, the teacher instructs all the pupils together by using a blackboard, while testing the children with questions.
But progressive educationalists argued this was too strict, and instead promoted the “child-centred” approach that has been common in primary schools since then. Under this system, pupils are encouraged to “discover” knowledge by themselves, working at their own speed or in small groups, with the teacher offering them support.
Mr. Gibb told The Mail on Sunday：“I would like to see schools across the country use whole class teaching methods, particularly in maths and science. Research shows it is much more effective than other methods that concentrate more on personal ized learning.”
Mr. Gibb said：“In Shanghai primary schools, whole class teaching with all pupils taking part in ‘question and answer’ activities is key to their success. All their pupils are taught the same curriculum （课程） and all are expected to reach the same high standard.”
Mr. Gibb’s comments have been backed by recent research, which concluded that the success of pupils in the Far East is largely down to teaching methods.
Researchers also used video to analyze what was going on in lessons and found that in the Chinese classrooms—where pupils sit in rows of desks facing the front—“whole class interaction” was being used 72 per cent of the time, compared with only 24 per cent in England. By contrast, the classes in England, where pupils often sit in groups, spent nearly half—47 per cent —of their time in “individual or group work”, compared with 28 per cent in China. The research
concluded：“Effective teachers spent longer time on interacting with the whole class rather than with individuals/groups or leaving pupils to independent seatwo rk.”
56. What is the problem of the teaching method used nowadays in Britain？
A. All the students are taught the same curriculum.
B. Students are often left working on their own.
C. Teachers often test students with hard questions.
D. Teachers are too strict with their students.
57. According to Mr. Gibb, the “whole class” approach is more effective because ______.
A. all the students take par t in “question and answer” activities
B. all the students sit in rows of desks facing the front of the classroom
C. it concentrates more on personalized learning than other methods
D. students work at their own speed with the teacher offering them support

A baby mermaid （美人鱼） was just born in Finland; Justin Bieber is getting married; iPhone 6 is going to be released this year… We read rumors every day on the Internet. With the help of social media, rumors — no matter whether they are true or false — spread like wildfire, and sometimes we can’t be sure what to believe.
Now, an international group of researchers might be able to make it easier for us. They are working on a lie detector that could separate online truth from lies, Discovery News reported.
Named after the Greek goddess Pheme, famed for spreading bad rumors, the system is far from a traditional lie detector, which works by attaching a machine to a potential liar. Instead, Pheme analyzes the rumor directly.
When a rumor comes out, on a micro blog, for example, Pheme can trace the source of information to see if it was released by reliable sources like experts or news agencies. If it wasn’t, Pheme then examines the history and background of the account to identify whether it was created just to spread rumors.
After finding the source of the rumor, the system can keep a close eye on how other users react to the rumor — either confirming or denying it — to help analyze and further determine the reliability of the information.
Some people might find the Pheme system unnecessary based on the idea that false rumors never survive for long and people always get to the truth over time. While that’s a fair point, there is a certain class of rumors, such as “a tiger is at large” or “an asteroid（小行星） is about to hit the Earth”, that can cause panic among people and thus lead to serious consequences.
These are cases when we need to be able to check for accuracy quickly. “Our system aims to help with that, by tracking and confirming information in real time,” a leading researcher Kalina Bontcheva, at the University of Sheffield, UK, told the BBC.
According to Bontcheva, Pheme is still under development and won’t be ready for another 18 months.
Until then, there’s an old-fashioned technique that you can use to protect yourself from false information —ask questions, check sources and don’t believe any claim until you’ve seen the evidence.
58. What is the article mainly about？
A. Tips on how to deal with rumors online.
B. Factors that make rumors so easy to spread.
C. A new device that can check whether online rumors are true or not.
D. An introduction to some types of lie detectors.
59. How does the Pheme system determine the reliability of a piece of information？
A. Based on how the majority of people react to it.
B. Based on the reliability of its sources and the history of its authors.
C. By collecting and examining relevant information to further confirm it.
D. By making use of an “Internet bot” to track and verify the information.
60. Which of the following statements might the author agree with？
A. The Pheme system is not very helpful because all rumors eventually die down.
B. The Pheme system will be ready to help social networks become more accurate by the end of
C. The Pheme system can identify almost all kinds of rumors on social networking sites.
D. The Pheme system aims to respond to rumors quickly so as to reduce the impact of false ones.

I have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since I was 12. Two years ago, I de-signed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. Through this highly meaningful and profound experience, I became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco — friendly, design and fashion.
My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For example , some popular clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. For those of us who are eco - conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate
whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment.
Three chain - stores, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 ,have been promoting "green" items. After I examined their products,! have concluded that H&M and Urban Outfitters are truly helping the environment with their efforts, while Forever 21 seems to be using the "go green" trend as a way to sell more products, rather than genuinely help the environment.
Of these three stores, H&M has the most extensive eco -fashion plans. It is already well on its way to carrying out its plans by increasingly mixing organic cotton into their garments, as well as putting fully organic cotton items on the market. The store also belongs to the Organic Exchange Organization, which approves of growth of organic cotton. To reduce the harm from non - organic cotton production, H&M is involved with the Better Cotton Project. Mindful of the unfavorable effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. H&M labels their eco -friendly products with an official symbol, the Flower, to represent a production system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. Because of these actions and policies, H&M is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment.
With its Urban Renewal brand, Urban Outfitter takes a different approach than H&M in promo-ting eco - friendly fashion. The brand features women' s clothes made from strictly environmentally -friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. Urban Renewal produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco - friendly through recycling.
Unlike the other two stores above, Forever 21 ' s eco - fashion efforts fall short; some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. It promotes the "green" image, and yet many of their supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it sells a "Think
Green Tote" that, according to the site, is meant to "send an environmentally friendly message. " However it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton. Also, the "I Love My Planet Tote" is supposed to "make a positive statement," but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the "H81 Organic Cotton Tote" from Forever 21' s Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever 21 has portrayed itself as being "green," it should start "walking the walk. "
61. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____.
A. all the customers are trying not to walk into the Forever 21 to buy products
B. the Forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image
C. the writer publicly urges the Forever 21 to put its campaign into practice
D. the environmental problem is so serious that we should pay more attention
62. Which of the following supports the author's opinion？
A. The author' s environmental awareness comes from his shopping experiences.
B. None of the three stores makes a difference on the ecological protection.
C. Someone uses the "go green" trend just as a trick to make more profit.
D. It is still a very long way before we humans will use real green products.
63. The passage is developed by ____.
A. showing cause and effect
B. giving concrete figures
C. making comparison and contrast
D. using time order
64. Which of the following statements can be the best title？
A. Does the Trend of Eco - Friendly Help the Environment？
B. Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores.
C. A Survey of Eco - Friendly Design on Fashion Markets.
D. Are Chain Stores in Fashion Really Going Green？
D
Many years ago, I went through a tough time. One afternoon, I picked my girls up. It was late when we returned home. I went to unlock the doo r and found my key wouldn’t go in. I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight. When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been “stuffed” with sunflower seed shells. Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good, I really didn’t give it much consideration.
I found all windows were locked up tight. So I returned to the back door. Oh my God, I will never forget the shock of that moment. The house was empty! Other than a few things remaining on the back porch, everything was gone! Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up. They inquired why I had broken into the house. They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address, so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house. I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock.
At this point they were not buying any of my story. I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep.
I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call. The owner was quite shocked to hear my story. She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction（驱逐） process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case. She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date. The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1/2 of the rent and a deposit of $300,000.
The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do. The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend.
The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car. They were both exhausted and cold. Also very frightened, because they thought their mamma was going to jail. I had to pull over
because the tears took control. I couldn’t believe it! Everything we owned was gone, I had used up all our money moving in and paying my “friend” our share of costs. I knew very few people in town, as we had just moved there recently.
I went to sit back in the car with the girls, I talked to the girls, explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn’t be afraid. During this time there was a “street person” with a bag, looking in the garbag e for cans, bottles, and anything that might bring him some cash. But I didn’t pay much attention to him. I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast. We grabbed some bread, and chips and returned for a “picnic”. When we got there, I noticed that the man was not alone. He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat among themselves.
I was busy setting up our little “picnic” when I heard a voice saying, “Ma ma, please excuse… but…well…I overheard the situation you are in, and well… I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls. It’s not very much, but maybe it’ll help a little.” I looked up at this man---dirty, needing a shave ----and saw the face of an angel. I started crying. The man tried to hand me $30. I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could. I told him, “Thank you for your more than generous offer, but we are going to be just fine.” He didn’t believe me at first, but I convinced him that it was okay.
Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park. It didn’t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch. I had a wonderful afternoon that day, sitting there with those old guys, singing songs. They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had. They shared themselves… from the heart.

Do you know your uneasy adolescent might be experiencing teen depression？ Of course. Teen depression isn’t just bad moods and occasional sadness—it’s a serious problem that affects every aspect of a teenager’s normal life. The negative effects can lead to proble ms, such as smoking, violence and even suicide. But depression can be treated. So if your teen’s unhappiness lasts for more than two weeks and he or she displays other symptoms of depression, it may be time to seek help from a health doctor.
There are multiple reasons why a teenager might become unhappy. For example, teens can develop feelings of worthlessness over their school performance. And unsatisfied family life can have a major effect on how a teen feels. Sometimes, teen depression may result from environmental stress. But whatever the cause, when friends or family—or things that the teen usually enjoy—don’t help to improve his or her sadness or sense of isolation, there’s a good chance that he or she has teen depression.
There are certain signs when teenagers are suffering from teen depression. Often, kids with teen depression will have a noticeable change in their thinking and behavior. Kids with teen depression may have a change in eating habits. Teenagers are likely to eat too much or not to eat enough for
long periods of time, which should not be mistaken for an eating disorder. Parents should distinguish this change from eating disorders.
Changing in sleeping habits is another indication of adolescent depression. All teenagers love to sleep. However, a sudden change in sleep behavior for no good reason is what parents should be paying attention to.
A reduction of favorite activities, such as sports or chatting with friends, is another sign that cannot be neglected. If a teenager loves a sport and during the middle of the season suddenly decides to stop, there is a reason to be concerned about this change.
When teenagers suffer from depression, they easily get annoyed or react badly to negative things. They may become defiant as there is potential depression. The depressed teenagers may get into rude or offensive remarks as well as fighting.
Making statements of despair is another sign. They have no hope for their studies, their life and their future. This is very serious since it is estimated that every year approximately 10 teenagers from every 100,000 commit suicide.
How is it treated？ Here are methods, including medications and psychotherapy. Family therapy may be helpful if family conflict is contributing to the depression. The depressed teens will also need support from teachers. Occasionally, hospitalization may be required for teenagers with severe depression.
