Maybe it has been the influence of the current scene: the hype (大肆宣传) among urban biking. Apparently, urban biking requires entirely different bikes than suburban biking does and therefore a Bike Design Project started where five design studios across five cities had to come up with a perfect urban bike. The winning bike will be manufactured for a limited run of 100 bikes and will be in stores next year. Industry, a Portland-based studio, came up with a very interesting bike: one that uses bluetooth and handlebars that tell you when to stop or turn.
Industry worked together with Ti Cycles to create a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame. The bike is called Solid and can connect to a smart phone APP: My Bike. This APP alarms a user when a light needs replacement and if something gets wrong with one’s brakes. There is also software called Discover My City, which has a series of routes through Portland’s most trendy neighborhoods, with suggestions about where to eat and shop.
Nevertheless, the idea with cycling is that you need to focus on the road and not on your smart phone. This bike therefore uses integrated feedback on handlebars. Those handlebars tell a user when to turn, as they will buzz (嗡嗡叫) when a turn appears. As you are getting closer, they will buzz more frequently. And then there is the possibility to control your light via built-in sensors and change gears (齿轮) by pressing an electronic button.
Although the bicycle looks highly interesting and can be seen as a piece of art for the designing world, we don’t know if we would like our bike to have an automatic buzz when we are approaching a turn. On the other side, it could add some extra safety to traffic in general. Whether you like the bike or not, you have to admit the Portland-based studio brings the concept of urban biking to a whole new level.
1. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________. A. the equipment that a hand-made bike requires B. the popularity of the winning bike in the urban area C. the introduction of a newly bike in the future market D. the difference between urban biking and suburban biking 2. The 3D printed bike is special in the way ________. A. it tells you where to go

Teens Aren’t Getting Enough Sleep And Schools Are Partly to Blame
Most kids are severely sleep deprived, and early school starting times aren’t helping.
Across the country, only 17.7 percent of middle and high schools start classes after 8:30 a.m., contrary to 2014 recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Instead, the average school start time for middle and high schools around the country is 8:03 a.m., according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The AAP recommends that schools start after 8:30 to help teenagers get 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep a night —
the amount the AAP says is ideal. Currently, less than a third of high school students sleep 8 hours a night, says the CDC analysis.
The analysis uses 2011–2012 information from the Department of Education to gather the start times of about 39,700 schools. Alaska has the latest average school start time at 8:33 a.m., while Louisiana has the earliest at 7:40 a.m.
Sleep-deprived teenagers are more likely to suffer from depression, use drugs, get low grades and be overweight. Even though schools often face obstacles when trying to delay school start times due to traffic and scheduling concerns, some have made progress recently.
After Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts delayed school start times in 2008 from 7:55 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., the private school saw a number of benefits. As the Huffington Post previously reported, the school’s 2014 viewbook noted that students earned higher grades; ate more breakfasts, visited the health center far less frequently; and performed better in athletics. Teachers reported that first-period discussion classes were uncharacteristically lively from the beginning bell.
Half of parents whose teens attend schools that start before 8:30 would support a later start time, according to a 2014 survey from the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
1. According to the passage, teens aren’t getting enough sleep, ________. A. schools are partly to blame
B. parents come to realize the problem
C. the authority should take actions D. more health centers are being built 2. The author explains the result of sleep-deprived problem by ________. A. making a comparison
B. using examples
D. quoting diagrams
C. presenting research findings
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The earlier schools start, the higher grades students can get. B. All schools should start after 8:30 across the world. C. Nine hours of sleep a night is the most ideal choice. D. The lack of sleep may lead to various terrible problems. 4. Where does this passage probably come from? A. A research report.
B. A health guide. D. An official document.

Imagine you’ve just arrived in a new place and don’t know anybody yet. Someone smiles at you. You smile back. Your heart leaps because you realize this person could be a potential new friend. Your imagination runs wild, dreaming of all the fun times you’ll have together, chewing the fat over coffee, lunch and dinner. You become so excited that in the first few minutes of talking you tell him/her everything — what you had for breakfast, how nervous you’re to be in this new place, and how you felt when your favorite goldfish died. But then you suddenly realize you’ve gone too far and that there’s no going back. You’ve committed the biggest social crime in the books — you over-shared.
Researchers have found over-sharing your personal information too quickly is a kiss of death to new friendships. A recent article highlights that it’s possible to establish a close bond with someone in as little as 45 minutes but this is only possible when the connection is built gradually by each person sharing a little bit more of themselves in turn. This theory was tested in an agreement called “Fast Friends” created by Arthur Anon, a professor from New York. In it, two people were put in a room together with three sets of 12 questions. The questions must be taken in order, with each person taking turns to answer them.
Questions in the first set were mild and only slightly personal, like “Would you like to be famous?” But
questions in the next set were more personal, like “What’s your most terrible memory?” The final set of questions was deeply personal, like “When did you last cry in front of another person?” As Anon told, “If you disclose too much too fast, you put someone off.” It’s important that a relationship is built on mutual benefit and for each person to be talking. A key sign you’re over-sharing is when you’re the only one talking.
To be close to someone, it’s also necessary that you’re both willing to open up, but it’s important that each person gives the other space and time to do so. Giving away mutual information gradually is a good choice.
1. To establish a close relationship with someone, you should __________. A. talk as much as possible B. share everything with him/her C. be the only one talking D. give him/her space and time 2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means __________. A. Drinking tea or coffee B. Talking happily and relaxedly C. Eating the fat meat D. Laughing happily
3. According to the passage, which of the following questions is deeply personal? A. What is the weather like in your hometown? B. What is your dream in the senior high school? C. What do you think of our national football team?
D. Do you remember the situation you felt stupid before your friends? 4. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Take Turns to Share Between New Friends B. Share Everything With Friends C. Be Talkative While Making New Friends D. Be Friendly to a Potential New Friend 助读词汇 leap vi. 跳

Good computer skills are desirable in today’s digital age, and playing computer games can help children get those skills — as long as they don’t overdo it, scientists warn. The British study involved 600 teenagers over a period of two years found that those who played computer games less than once a week achieved better grades at school than ones who played them twice a day or more often. The study also found that daily use of social media did not affect school performance.
“It was clear that social media didn’t have any impact. I think that’s more because social media is part and parcel of every child’s life. It’s the way they communicate. It’s the way they keep in touch with their friends.”
Parents increasingly complain of having difficulty getting their children away from computer games. Some even seek help for their teenagers who they say are addicted to them. The study did not look into addiction, but suggested computer games can cause children to stay up late in the evenings, making them tired and less able to focus at school the next day.
A longtime owner of computer game outlet in London, said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones.
“The ability to make games a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more complex is here now. It’s going to hold their attention longer. It’s going to hold it a lot longer, because there’s always wanting to progress through the story line — here’s a cliffhanger (悬念); ‘Oh my god, I have to see what happens next’ etc. Whereas, again, the old games, they challenge more your hand-eye coordination, your speed, your timing, your reactions, rather than perhaps your imagination.”
The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addiction. But the new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of computer game-playing on performance at school.
1. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 infers that ______.
A. playing computer games is beneficial to every student B. it is definitely harmful for students to play computer games C. computer skills should be mastered in the digital age D. people shouldn’t pay too much attention to computer games 2. According to this British study, ______.
A. students usually play computer games twice a day or more often B. the daily use of social media affects students’ school performance C. social media helps students have contact with their friends D. computer games make students addicted to them
3. What the owner of computer game outlet said shows that ______. A. the present computer games are more addictive B. the old computer games are more challenging

The country of England is where the English language developed. This language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the language used most on the Internet and for international trade.
Buckingham Palace is the home of the royal family. It is in London, the capital city of England which is also called Britain, where a new queen or king is crowned (加冕). This special ceremony takes place at Westminster Abbey, a beautiful church. When Princess Diana married Prince Charles, they had a wedding ceremony at another church called Saint Paul’s Cathedral.
Since London is the capital city, the Parliament Building is where government leaders do their business. On one end of this building is a clock tower. The large clock is called Big Ben.
There are other famous towers in London. One is called the Tower of London and it was used as a prison. Many famous people have been sent there, such as a wife of King Henry IV in the 16th century. Today it is a museum for tourists where you can visit to see instruments of torture. There is also a display of the Crown Jewels, a very valuable collection of diamonds, rubies (红宝石) and other stones of great beauty. Many are placed in crowns worn by the kings or queens long ago.
The Tower Bridge has four towers. This bridge is over the Thames River. This river goes through the middle of London and passes Windsor Castle, another home of the royal family. It is a very safe place in time of war.
Another famous place is the town called Stratford on Avon. Stratford is the city name and the river Avon flows through this city, so it means Stratford is on the Avon River. It is the home of William Shakespeare, the best writer of plays. He wrote about 50 plays and they are still performed everywhere English is spoken.
There are two famous universities in England. They are called Cambridge and Oxford. The school name is the same as the city name, so Cambridge University is in Cambridge, England. Oxford University is in Oxford.

China is facing a reading crisis, with more than 50% of people surveyed believing they don’t spend enough time reading and only 20% satisfied with their reading time, China Daily said.
According to Xu Shengguo, head of the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, the country’s reading rate last year was 78.6%, which means that percentage of people read books, periodicals or newspapers or were involved in online reading, while 21.4 % read nothing at all.
The academy launched an annual survey on the reading quantity of Chinese people in 2005 and found that each read 4.5 to 4.7 books on average per year between 2005 and 2014. Last year, Chinese people read only 4.56 books, compared with 12 in France, 11 in South Korea, 9 in Japan and about 7 in the United States. In addition, more than 40% of Chinese people read less than one book throughout the year outside of textbooks.
A training meeting on reading supported by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television was held in Beijing last week. It was the first meeting for the Leading Reader project, a training series for teachers, officials, college students and bookstore owners to promote nationwide reading. It will be held on weekends during September and October.
In addition to factors such as the large population base in China and imbalance of regional economic development, the shortage of public libraries is widespread. Reading parties in the community are in need of greater promotion. If we want to promote the nationwide reading rate, we have to encourage more grassroots reading programs.
1. What is the reading rate of China last year?

Tips for Selecting a Summer Camp
Summer camp is a time for your child to make many friends and even more memories. It’s a time for them to learn new things and revisit things that they already knew. By following the summer camp tips, you should be able to get your child into a camp that they will love and that you can be comfortable sending them too.
Lengths of Camp
Summer camps come in different lengths. For children that have never been to camp, day camps will probably be better. Many children are not used to being away from their parents overnight, and camp can be scary. Residential (住宿型的) camps can last from a week to the entire summer depending on your choice. This will give your child the chance to develop their independence.
Type of Camp
There are two different kinds of camps; traditional and specialized. The traditional has a little bit of everything from sports to drama. If your child has a variety of interests then this may be the best way. The specialized version is a little different; it concentrates on one interest such as cheerleading, football, or arts and
entertainment. This kind is great for kids who love one certain activity.
Camp Security
Every parent worries about the security of their children. You should make sure that the camp that you choose has good security for their campers. You must also make sure that they have plenty of camp instructors to handle the children that they are responsible for. This may be one of the most important things that you need to look for when searching for your child’s summer camp. You are sending them there to have fun, not be ignored. Put their safety first.
The Cost
When you are looking into your many options for the perfect summer experience for your child, make sure that you get the total cost for their time there. You need to find out if everything is included in the price of the stay or if meals, some activities and transportation are extra.
1. Who should choose the residential camps? A. Children who are young but not timid. B. Children who have never been to camp. C. Children who enjoy summer camp every year.
D. Children who haven’t been away from parents overnight. 2. What can the children do in the specialized camps? A. Various dramas. B. All kinds of sports. C. Cheerleading or arts. D.

The most impressive physical feat (壮举) you are likely to witness today didn’t happen on the field of play. It occurred in an innovative medical facility, where a 26-year-old American paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down became the first person to walk without relying on robotic arms and legs that are controlled manually.
The young man, who lost the use of his legs following a backbone injury five years ago, just completed a 3.5 meter course with the help of technology and some ambitious physicians.
That technology, as one might expect for a breakthrough like this, is quite sophisticated and difficult to understand. But roughly speaking, the process begins when an electrode cap on the man’s head is able to recognize the brain waves that tell the body what to do. A computer receives this information wirelessly and transmits the proper command (stand still or walk) to a microcontroller packed on the man’s waist. Originating from this microcontroller are electrodes connected to the man’s knees, which excite the nerves to start the right muscle movement required for walking.
For fear that you think this breakthrough was simply the product of advanced technology, doctors leading the study at UC Irvine were sure to note the patient’s intensive (加强的) training required throughout the process. Not only did the patient need to rebuild a significant amount of muscle that he had lost over five years while in a wheelchair, but he needed to learn how to produce the right brain signals — a function of the central nervous
system that is so easy to take for granted.
1. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Paralyzed Young Man Can Walk Again B. The Most Impressive Physical Feat C. An Innovative Medical Facility D. Robotic Arms and Legs Help You Walk
2. The underlined word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________. A. simple B. complicated C. interesting D. boring 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The facility is advanced enough for the patient to use easily. B. The patient may have some difficulty in walking again. C. Doctors are helpful for the patient to use the facility. D. Muscle building for the patient is easy to achieve. 4. Where does the passage probably come from? A. A medical advertisement. B. A book review. C. A fashion magazine. D. A health report. 助读词汇 witness vt. 见证 innovative adj. 革新的 waist n. 腰

From kindergarten to grade four, each and every one of my teachers has had different beliefs, but all of them had something in common. They were all amazing.
Take Mrs. Cohen, for example. I was first taught by Mrs. Cohen on September 12, 2013. Mrs. Cohen has quite a bit of special qualities that made me pick her as an example. She has the power to understand children as if she’s a child as well. She’s so kind and funny, you’ll start warming up to her like a friend that you’ve known for a long time. Mrs. Cohen, though, is very special to me in particular because I’ve known her even before because she’s my brother’s friend’s mom. Says Mrs. Cohen, “I believe that all students should have a choice on whatever they do. When teaching, I always keep the structure and support of my lesson in mind, but above that, I value student involvement (参与). ” I have learned from Mrs. Cohen in such a unique and memorable fashion. She will be in my list of top teachers forever.
Another example would be Mrs. Allen, my English teacher. She is strict so she can keep the class in order, but only when necessary. Other times, she can be one of the nicest teachers in the world. Her perfect balance of strict and kind make her a fabulous（极好的） teacher. The interesting thing about her is although her teaching style is completely different from Mrs. Cohen’s, Mrs. Allen is still on my mental list of top teachers.
Mow let’s come to the question, what makes a teacher a really great teacher? The answer, if you haven’t figured it out yet, is uniqueness. After reading these paragraphs, I’m sure your mind will be buzzing (翁翁响) with questions. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go out and ask your teachers!
1. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to be a great teacher B. Advice on being a great teacher. C. What makes a great teacher. D. Discussions on being a great teacher.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A clinging (温顺的) woman, or independent woman, which one would you prefer? A recent poll (调查) shows that most people would choose the latter. This type of woman is called a tough woman.
Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because the 19-year-old English major can finish tough tasks usually
attributed (属于) to men. For example, she carries 10-litre water bottles to her dormitory on the 5th floor and can fix a broken fan. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents (应答者), 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a well known psychological counselor (心理咨询师), believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend.
“Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.”
Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way.
“They are often on good terms with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive(果断的),” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress. Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, holds different opinion.
“Some women with characteristics that separate them from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might trigger (引发) family conflicts.”
1. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Su hao is good at fixing broken fans. B. Su hao is an independent college student. C. Su hao believes that she is stronger than others. D. Su hao always carries water bottles to her dormitory. 2. Why are there more tough women according to Shen Meng? A. Because there are more women than men. B. Because tough women are welcome in China. C. Because women have to compete for themselves. D. Because the living conditions in society are worse. 3. It can be concluded from what Hu Shenzhi says that______. A. tough women may face more challenges in marriage.
B. a traditional female image is more acceptable by people. C. gender identities will lead to family relationship problems. D. tough women shouldn’t get married to avoid family conflicts. 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How Tough Women Are Brought Up B. Where Can You Find Tough Women C. Tough Women Are Problems D. We All Need Tough Women 助读词汇
