9.Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."
He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right."The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand,her head dropped,and his lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say?"
The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a﹩20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it op and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,"Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.'The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on,he looked straight into my dad's eyes,took my dad's hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek,he replied,"Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family."
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.We didn't go to the circus that night,when I asked dad why he did so,Dad said,"My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn't begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young."He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory."We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn't go to the circus tonight,but we didn't go without.Now,who wants an ice cream?".

1.A new survey reviews that more than 60% of websites and apps intended for Canadian children may be collecting personal information and passing it on to a third party.The survey was completed by the Global Privacy Enforcement Network,which reviewed 1,494 websites and apps.
Focusing on trends among Canadian users,the sweep team reviewed 118websites and apps targeted directly at children,as well as 54 that are known to be popular with and used by kids.The team's findings showed that more than 50% of Canadian sites collect personal information from children,including names,addresses,phone numbers and photos,audio or video.In addition,62% of sites admitted they may show that personal information to third parties.An other 62% allowed the user to be redirected to a different site,and only 28% of the sites and apps involved any form of parental control or protection.
A member of the team Tobi Cohen,outlined a few of the sites that did and did not live up to the standards of children's privacy online.She praised both Family.ca and Lego.com for their message boards that did not allow users to post personal information,and noted that santasvillage.ca asked users to provide their full name and email address.Gamezhero.com was also singled out for allowing users to display personal information,including names,age,sex and locations.Pbskids.org,on the other hand,was praised for only offering generic,pre-set avatars(頭像) and barring users form uploading personal photos.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada refused to release a full list of the websites and apps reviewed.When asked what would be done with results,commissioner Daniel Therrien said that companies reviewed in the sweep would be kept informed of the findings."It's our usual practice after conducting a sweep to write a number of companies to point out the things that we've seen,to sometimes ask that things be changed,and on the whole the companies react positively to these requests."Therrien added.
In an attempt to help kids better understand why their privacy matters,the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has created a lesson plan for kids in Grade 7and 8that explains the Global Privacy Enforcements Network and has kids conduct privacy reviews of their own.
"We know that companies are not the only ones responsible for the protection of kids'privacy."Therrien said."Parents and teachers obviously have a role.We have a role,particularly in the area of increasing awareness of privacy issues among the public."
Matthew Johnson,director of education at Media Smarts,said that the sweep's results were sadly unsurprising.Media Smarts,an Ottawa-based non-profit digital literacy outfit intended to improve media literacy and empowering the youth to better engage with media,offers age-appropriate tips to parents concerned with keeping their kids sage online.
Johnson explained that in addition to educating themselves on the issue,the best thing parents could do to protect children's privacy online is to educate kids on the importance the function of their personal data.He mentioned an initiative by Media Smarts called Privacy Pirates,an online game that aims to teach kids at the age of seven to nine that all forms of personal information should be protected and added that their personal information has value and they should think twice before giving it out.

66.We can conclude from the data mentioned in Paragraph 2thatD.
A.parents must be to blame for letting out their kids'privacy
B.the time that children spend on he Internet should be limited
C.more children have realized the importance of personal privacy
D.more attention should be paid to the protection of kids'privacy
67.Which of the following websites doesn't require kids to provide personal information?A
A.Family.ca.
B.Gamezhero.com.
C.pbskids.org.
D.santasvillage.ca.
68.What will most of the companies do when receiving a request from the sweep team?D
A.They will help kids better understand why their privacy matters.
B.They will ask the team never to make their website public.
C.They will ask for further information about the research.
D.They will take some measures actively in response.
69.Daniel Therrien seems to stress in Paragraph 6thatB.
A.the team should develop a good relationship with the companies
B.the protection of kid's privacy involves joint efforts from adults
C.the public is unaware if their role in protecting kids'privacy
D.the sweep team's work is worth nothing without parents'help
70.According to Johnson,parents shouldB.
A.guide their kids to play online games
B.get kids to know the value of their privacy
C.set a good example to their kids in daily life

1.My wife,daughter,and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today.We live on a corner,higher than street level,and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall.The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk,the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our"rock garden".Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants,Denise or I would stick them out front,just to bring some color to the area.We would do all of the yard work on our own,even the tiring weed-pulling.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify,I knew I didn't plant it and Denise claimed that she didn't either.We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant,it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(莖,桿) and only one head on it.I decided to baby it along and weed around it.As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds,I noticed something unusual.The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin.It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That's when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing,we too have the ability of doing the same thing.Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower,we can attain the same nourishment(營養(yǎng)) and growth as well.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you.You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.

24.We can know from the first paragraph thatC.
A.the author finished building his home hurriedly

27.What can be inferred from this passage?A
A.We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident.

18.Imagine you've finally landed a job of your dreams in another city.It's everything you'd hoped for,but there's only one problem-housing costs in the area are so high that you're forced to live in a parking lot.
While this sounds like an impossible situation,this predicament is a reality for one man.Brandon,25,is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco,California campus.
"I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in,and I was almost never home."He told Business Insider,"It's really hard to justify throwing that money away.You're not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future."
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship,he's been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating,using the bathroom and showering at work,also charging his phone and computer there.
San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US,with the aver age rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to $3,590(24,900 yuan)a month,according to property site Zumper.
And while some may not be able to handle giving up life's luxuries just to put aside some cash,Brandon estimates that he's saved almost $28,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.
"Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money,but I get to invest all the money I'm not spending on furniture,facilities and buying food."Brandon wrote on his blog.

29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"predicament"in paragraph 2?C
A.possibility       
B.disappointment        
C.dilemma       
D.mess 
30.Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?B
A.Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.
B.Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn't worthwhile.
C.Because his workplace provides him with what he needs   
D.Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.
31.What does Brandon think of his choice?D
A.Difficult        
B.Embarrassing            
C.Painful         
D.Wise.
