Which magazine may best help relax yourself after a day of hard work?A．Apple Seeds B．News China C．Better Life D．Humor TimesBWhen the company was small, Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford,and MIT. But Laszlo Bock, Google’s former Senior Vice President of People Operations, said it was the "wrong" hiring strategy. Experience has taught him that there are exceptional kids at many other places, from state schools in California to those in New York. "What we find is that the best people from places like these are just as good if not better as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school," said Bock, who authored a book titled "Work Rules!".So what else does Google not care about:Grades: Google’s data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career, but do not matter after that.Brain-teasers: Gone are interview questions such as: Why are manhole covers (井盖) round? How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? "Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time," Bock said. "They’re a really coachable skill. The more you practice, the better you get at it."Here’s what Google does care about:Problem solvers: Your cognitive (认知的) ability, or how well you solve problems.Leaders: The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of a bank, but rather "When you see a problem, do you step in and help solve it?" and then critically, "Are you willing to let somebody else take over, and make room for somebody else? Are you willing to give up power?"Googleyness: That’s what Google calls its cultural fit. It’s not "Are you like us?" Bock said. "We actually look for people who are different, because diversity gives us great ideas.""What’s most important is that people are intellectually humble, willing to admit when they’re wrong, and care about the environment around them ...because we want people who think like owners not employees," Bock said.4.What does Bock mean in Paragraph 1?A. People from state schools can be as good.B. Google prefers kids from Ivy League schools.C. Hiring is a hard job for Google.D. State schools are worse than Ivy League ones.5. Which question belongs to a brain-teaser?A. What are your grades like?B. What is the significance of the "dead beef"?C. How would you improve a Google product?D. How would you solve homelessness in Seattle?6. Who is a qualified leader according to Google?A. One eager for power.B. One solving problems well.C. One willing to step aside.D. One operating an organization.7. What is Googleyness?A. Being uniqueB. Being diverseC. Being qualifiedD. Being loyalCWhen he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions” abou t protecting natural resources.According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people.“It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society,” he believes, “and say, ’Guys, this is not right.'”Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为),” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.“When we started four years ago,” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”8. What can we learn about Rob Stewart?A. He spends most of his time traveling.B. He likes taking challenging jobs.C. He cares about the environment.D. He made his first film four years ago.9. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Easy to accept.B. Hard to notice.C. Unnecessary to worry about.D. Impossible to change.10.

Helping a planet in troubleC. Tips on saving our futureD. A famous filmmakerDThanks to this new hands- free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” s uitcase canfollow you everywhere you go.The carryon suitcase, now a prototype(雏形), connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth. It has a builtin camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat floors. It comes with an antitheft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when you’re not looking.“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone, and avoiding bumping into other objects,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics.“We’re combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app(应用), press the ‘follow me’ button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the products and trying to improve features like speed and customization(客户订制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the bluetooth pairing technology to automate(自动化操作）lots of other products, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These products are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly.“Any object can be smart and robotic，” Libman told Mashable.“We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a common suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carryon luggage maker, since the product that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on oldfashion luggage.With NUA’s smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough blocks like stairs? It will be interesting to wait. 12．According to the passage, the “smart” suitcase ________．A．can go everywhereB．is on sale nowC．was designed by Alex LibmanD．can make our hands free during traveling13．If you want to use this free hand suitcase, you must ________．A．look at it all the timeB．avoid obstaclesC．download the appD．carry a camera14．What can we learn about NUA?A．It was founded by Mashable.B．It has improved the features of the device.C．It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.D．It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life.15．Where is the article probably from?A．A poster.
