I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school. This that they are with me almost constantly. Whenever possible I will random acts of kindness; things like paying for the order behind me in the drive-thru lane, holding doors, etc. So, they are very with the concept and are, of course, to also do "nice" things for others.

Just a few days ago we stopped our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff. We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our . While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few in his basket. I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no .  

He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously . As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line. My kids were very behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining. (To me, anyway.) 

I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.  

We were putting our groceries on the when the clerk finished with order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids bubble gum. I had agreed they could have some. , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back. He then told my kids that he bought their gum their mom was enough to let him go ahead in the queue.

The experience really drove home the that good begets(產(chǎn)生，引起) good for my lovely little kiddos（親呢的稱呼：小伙子）.

People in the United States have many ways to get news, some of which are available 24 hours a day. In a recent survey（調(diào)查）, about 15 percent of American interviewees said that they spend less than one-half to two hours per day watching, listening to, or reading the news. News comes from every source, not only from printed ways, but from TV, radio, and the Internet as well.

With the increased availability of news, serious questions have been raised about the role of the news media in society. Should the media report every detail about every story, even when the information does not seem timely or valuable? Some researchers are concerned that by focusing on everything at once, the media increasingly ignore the more important social, political and economic problems that we face. We cannot concentrate on what’s important by reading about what is not. One extreme example of this is the type of information covered by the tabloid（小報(bào)）media, which focus on negative stories of violence and crime.

How can people deal with all the news that is available to them? Some become “news resisters” and choose to turn their backs on news, resisting their desire to turn on the TV and read the paper every day. They argue that although daily news reports may provide us with many facts, they do not include the background or some information that we need to understand news events. They suggest that, instead of daily reports, we look for information that has more in-depth analysis of the news, such as monthly magazines.

1.What percentage of the interviewees spend less than one half to two hours per day paying attention to the news? (within 3 words)

2.According to the researchers, what is the disadvantage of news media? (within 6 words)

3.How do you describe tabloid media? (within 5 words)

4.Who are “news resisters”? (within 9 words)

5.What information does “news resisters” look for? (within 2 words)

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.

It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.

“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.

The sharing economy got big during the recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”

According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.

“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.

To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

1.The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.

A. it is most fashionable and cool

B. they are bored with driving cars

C. they are fond of being connected

D. it is much cheaper than a car

2.We can learn from the text that _______.

A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals

B. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other

C. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology

D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother

3.Professor Juliet would agree that _______.

A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage

B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession

C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter

D. being connected via technology comes first for young people

4.The best title for the passage is probably _______.

A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhone

C. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the Go

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆黑龍江省高三下學(xué)期第二次階段考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.

Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.

Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”

She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.

Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.

“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.

1.When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.

A. proud and happy B. supportive but concerned

C. fearful and nervous D. excited but puzzled

2.The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A. having great help B. using high technology

C. ending up in failure D. starting from the beginning

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Volunteering helps students grow and develop.

B. School trips make parents worried about their children.

C. Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.

D. Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.
