My sister has always been a good friend to me. Thirteen years ago, she tried to throw a blue plastic toy at my nose to see if it would hang on my face. Her first try was unsuccessful.

Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone…or anything. Unluckily, many children all over the world don’t have chances to read books!For several years now, Maria Keller, a teenager from America, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might have no money to buy books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria set up Read Indeed. Read Inde ed is a non-profit (非营利的) organization that is to collect and share books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and share 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal!So far, she has collected over million books and has sent them to many states and countries like India, China…She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my task, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of mi llions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my goal of 1 million books.”She recently set a new goal: to give donations (捐赠) to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She always pays attention to her progress on a large map at the warehouse (仓库) where they store and sort books.24. Where does Maria Keller come fromA. America.B. India.C. China.D. The UK.25.

After reaching her goal of 1 million books, she will _____.A. stop giving booksB. go on with her studyC. read bedtime storiesD. go on donating booksCOne day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube (underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother abou t her day, repeating the next stop’s name cheerfully, praising her mother’s long nails —trying to catch her mother’s attention. Her mother just nodded and answered “Mm, hm” with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn’t notice that.It broke my heart and got me wondering —what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart What it meant when she couldn’t look into her daughter’s eyes and even stop to listen to the girlSome parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through WeChat. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.This is not an only example. I’ve seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn’t right.The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has change d! The parents have become “technology slaves (奴隶)”, that is to say, they can’t control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are p laying the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I’m uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.27.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passageA. Technology SlavesB. Middle-aged ParentsC. A Scene on the TubeD. Mindless Phone GamesDWhat does your face sayHow many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution (进化).What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.30. What is the main purpose of the first paragraphA. To show interest in different cultures.B. To express the worries about emotions.C. To lead in the topic of facial expressions.D. To give an example of facial expressions.31. The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably mea ns ______.A. expressB. explainC. differentiateD. develop32. According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______.A. facial expressions are easy to understand in JapanB. the way expressions are understood is different in ChinaC. new ways of social communication can improve movementsD. it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion33. What can we learn from the passageA. We can express our emotions in four different ways.B. Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.C. Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries.D. Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
