Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared .

Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little . Had I picked up some rare disease?

The next time I went into that gas station, feeling again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright but disgusting yellow, and the light reflecting off the walls made everyone inside as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short with a total stranger change my for an entire day.

Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day,but not for the reason that most people would think.He isn’t homeless.In fact he is trying to help the homeless.

Gregory began his life as a sculptor.But he often felt that his sculptures.Which just stood in rich people’s houses for years,lacked a meaningful purpose.So in 201l he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.

The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn’t occur to him until the year 2013, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布).Instead of a tarp,Gregory offered them something better:a small home with a water tank,a kitchen and a trap for waste.They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city.And soon his“Homeless Homes Project”was started.

Before starting a new home,Gregory,goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins.Everything he finds is usable—refrigerator doors become house doors;washing machine doors often serve as windows,and the tops of cars become strong roofs.He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily.Each home takes two to three days to make.

So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city's most needy.While his small low- cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness,they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in.They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help.

Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture,where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops.“A lot of people who hear about what I’m doing want to get involved,”he said.“Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together.”

D.He wanted to help the homeless.

2.The author mentions the story in Pamgmph 3 to tell us____________.

China is a country on the move- especially around its Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the holiday crush(客流量) promises to be even heavier than before。

Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.

Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience. And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down

Much of the criticism has, focused on the railway's-online purchasing system. Which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers(票販子) from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.

While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, railway officials told

reporters that the public need to be patient. Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems. While officials had little good news for rail passengers, they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls (通行費)will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.

1.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?

A. Promising.

B. Discouraging.

C. Pleasing.

D. Rewarding.

2.According to the text, getting tickets_____. around the official holiday.

A. is just a piece of cake

B. is more costly

C. takes great effort

D. is convenient for travelers

3.We can learn from the text that _______. around the New Year holiday.

A. there will be 3. 62 billion people going home

B the railway system will be facing more stress

C.. people's complaint .focus on the failure of online purchase

D. not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling

4.Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service?

A. Objective.

B Doubtful.

C. Satisfied

D.Worried.

A third of 15 to 18-year-olds in the UK have met someone in person they originally met through social media.

The figure comes from an exclusive online Newsbeat poll(投票) of 1,015 British teenagers, put together by Comres. The survey also indicates that a quarter feel happier online than they do in real life.

But overall, real-life relationships are still considered far more important than online ones, according to the findings. Sixty-six per cent polled last month said the number of friends they knew in person was more important to them, compared to 28% who said the same of the number of friends and followers they had online.

The survey also suggests what lots of people know already, that social media is now an integral part of teenagers’ lives. Only one per cent of respondents said they never checked in online for social reasons. Facebook is the most popular social network (89% have an account), followed by Twitter (62%) and Snapchat (58%).

Dr Emma Short, a psychologist at the University of Bedfordshire, said, “The number of teenagers meeting up with people they first befriended online is worrying. Even very sophisticated security experts find it very hard to verify the identity of accounts. When you’re 15 and you’re very effective at identifying friends and risk, it’s easy to assume you can do that online. It’s not safe in that they may not be who they say they are and you know nothing about them apart from the conversation you’ve had online – which is a very small part of their lives and the person they may be.”

The survey also indicated:

? 25% of teenagers admitted they were addicted to social media.

? 25% wished they could give up social media.

“I can’t do without my phone.” says 17-year-old Aisha from Clapton, north London. “I can’t do without checking Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat.”

When we ask Aisha about the prospect of taking her social networks away, the consequences, genuinely, are too hard to bear.

Jealousy, loneliness, happiness and stress are all emotions felt by teenagers.

1.From the first two paragraphs we get to know that __________.

A. the majority of the teenagers polled met their net friends

B. more and more British adolescents feel happier online

C. a third of 15 to 18-year-olds in the UK make net friends online

D. a little more than 300 adolescents surveyed met net friends

2.According to the survey, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Sixty-six per cent polled think it important to meet net friends in person.

B. More British adolescents consider friends in real life are more important.

C. 28% polled said they had the same number of online friends as other 66%.

D. 28% polled have the same number of real life friends and net friends.

3.What does the underlined word “respondents” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. researchers B. people

C. reporters D. teenagers

4.Which of the following best conveys Dr Emma Short’s view ?

A. The online friends teenagers meet in person are worrying.

B. It’s easy for 15-year-olds to make online friends.

C. It’s difficult for adolescents to identify online friends and risk.

D. The conversation with your virtual friends is helpful.

5.What is the writer’s attitude towards teenagers meeting up with online friends?

A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Tolerant.

One of the common complaints we hear from the people around us are problems they are facing. Every day and everywhere there are problems. Many times we find it hard to stay happy. When one problem is solved, another one comes up. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 1. .

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. 2. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

3.

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

4. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry. 5. If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. Accept what can’t be avoided.

C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

D. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.

E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

F. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

G. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
