2．（10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容判断正误。

Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many

young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't

know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name—strawberry kids.

Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do

almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of

developing their personality (个性).

Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about

himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability.

Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, "When you are in

trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise

you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong."

Crowing up is not just a happy process (过程). Pains also go along with it. The most important thing

is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

（1）（2分）Some students are called "strawberry kids" because they all like to eat some fruit,

especially strawberries.

（2）（2分）Liu Yue's mother often criticizes him.

（3）（2分）Parents do almost everything for their children in their daily life.

（4）（2分）According to the fourth paragraph, students should ask for help quickly when they are in

On Sept, 19,2014 Alibaba went public on the New York Stock Exchange (纽约证券交易所), raising

$25 billion through an IPO (公司股票的首次公开发行), the biggest in the US history. It shows that Ma Yun

has done his business successfully. The short Chinese man seems to be the tallest in the world right now. Ma,

who was an English teacher, has become one of the richest men on the Chinese mainland.

Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. At the age of 12, he wanted to learn

English. Every morning, he woke up at 5 a. m., cycling 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he

could chat with foreign tourists.

On a trip to the US in 1995, Ma was shown the Internet for the first time. Seeing the chance, Ma

returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about computers.

Four years later, 18 people including Ma, his wife and his friends founded Alibaba in Hangzhou.

People called him "Crazy Jack Ma". But 15 years later, Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e-commerce (电子商务) company.

No one thinks he's mad now. Ma's favorite line has been printed on Alibaba's souvenir T-shirts. It

reads, "Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes true?"

（1）（2分）How much did Alibaba raise through an IPO on Sept, 19, 2014?
