My father and I started our morning by moving quickly into the local store. I waited in the line at the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.

As I was standing there I became aware of an elderly woman， with untidy hair， wearing layers upon layers of old clothing， hunchbacked （駝背的） behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.

At some point I became aware of her edging （慢慢挪动） closer behind me—closer than I was comfortable with！ I instinctively （本能地） placed a hand over my purse and drew it close to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.

Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang up my total， I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldnt make me out. At that point， a long， grey arm， with holes in its sleeves， reached over from behind me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter， saying，“Here， we all need some help sometimes.”

I was stunned！ Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was in great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me！

What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about judging others！ Thank you， God！

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary， “I never saw a lovelier spot.” And she didnt even go fishing.

Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments， this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange， the rivers， filling with fish， can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy， near the Inverlochy Castle， any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. Its just you and purple， pink， white flowers， a perfect harmony. If you are a newcomer to fishing， learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetimes fun. For many， fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long days fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland， the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotlands mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains， and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But its not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique （獨特的）. More than 900 metres high， on the mountains north face， lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usqueb” or “water of life”， and it is the single most important ingredient in Scotlands best known whisky.

8. The writer tells about the story of Queen Victoria to show that ___ .

Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone， and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city cant wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.

The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out soon and cost between $250 and $600， The Times said， possibly including a variation of augmented （增強） reality， a technology already available on smartphones and tablets （平板电脑） that overlays information onto the screen about ones surroundings. So， for example， if you were walking down a street， indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.

“As far as a mainstream consumer product， this just isnt something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle， who writes for Gizmodo.com. “Were accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，” he added， “and the average consumer isnt gonna be able to afford another device （装置） thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”

9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub， who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year， said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.

“Its just like smartphones 10 years ago，” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones， and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones， and its unnatural，” he said. “Theres gonna be improvements to that， and this a step there.”

A. Stop judging others.

B. Each moment is unique.

C. We have to work in order to live.

D. Take care of yourself—mind and body.

E. Stress is often caused by comparison to others.

F. Its important to remember why you started doing something.

G. No one cares about what youre doing unless what

youre doing affects them.

Five years ago， when I taught art at a school in Seattle， I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student， and said， “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would affect other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare， “But Im just not creative.”

“Do you dream at night when youre asleep？”

“Oh， sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “Thats pretty creative. Who does that for you？”

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really—at night， when youre asleep？”

“Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime， in class， okay？”

4. Why did the teacher use Tinkertoys in class？

A. To know more about the students.

B. To make the lessons more exciting.

C. To attract the students interest in art.

D. To teach the students about toy design.

5. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3？

A. He was imaginative.

B. He was active in class.

C. He preferred to study alone.

D. He liked to help his teacher.

6. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably means “___ ”.

A. mistake B. disadvantage

C. difficulty D. trouble

7. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams？

A. To help them to see their creativity.

B. To find out about their sleeping habits.

C. To help them to improve their memory.

D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

How often do you exercise？ A new study found that most kids aged 12 to 15 werent getting enough physical activity. The results were based on about 800 kids. As part of the study， the kids tracked and reported on their own activity levels， and took physical exams.

US fitness guidelines suggest an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study， only 1 in 4 US kids get enough physical activity.

“Its certainly worrying to see that our kids have such a limited amount of physical activity each day，” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on childrens health.

Few kids in the study met the guidelines on physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe harder. Overall， about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of exercise every day. Kids also reported on which activities they did most often outside of school gym class—basketball for boys and running for girls.

The study found that fat teenagers were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Fat girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls， but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the percent of fat children aged 2 to 19 was 17%， or about 12.5 million kids.

“Theres always room for improvement，” said Tala Fakhouri， who was the leader of the study. She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Lets Move， which was initiated （創始） by Michelle Obama in 2010. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape， Michelle visited schools and held exercise events. She also called on schools to offer regular gym classes.

The study also found kids who get physical education at school may get better grades.

8. What is the result of the new study？

A. Its important to take physical exams.

B. Most US kids dont get enough exercise.

C. Kids should get physical activity every day.

D. 800 kids dont get enough physical activity.

9. According to the text， what sports do girls like best？

10. What is the purpose of the campaign Lets Move？

A. To help kids to keep fit.

B. To hold exercise events.

C. To offer regular gym classes.

D. To provide useful information.

11. According to the study， children with enough exercise may  ___ .

A. do better in their studies

B. be more willing to make friends

C. be more willing to help others

D. pay more attention to their body shape

Put your car keys away and forget about your travel pass—its time to do a bit of walking. National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets， an organization that was previously known as the Pedestrians Association. The associations aim is to make streets safe， attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live， work， shop and play. By putting people first， Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier， healthier and more sociable.

The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues （優点） of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter， the environmental advantages of not using vehicles， the joy of local discoveries seeing more of your local area on foot， the enjoyment of walking with other people， whether family， friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking—walking can clear your head.

Walk to School Week， 19 to 24 May， is part of the months activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot， rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later， more than one million children take part.

Similarly， there is Walk to Work Week， 12 to 16 May， where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning， getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day， rather than having lunch at the desks or in the canteen， take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work！

My mother always bought gifts to me for my birthdays. With my fifteenth birthday around the corner， she asked me I wanted. For the first time， I realize how lucky I was to have been born in such a fortunate family. I was satisfying and there was nothing more I needed. That was because I told my mother that instead of get an expensive gift， Id love to use the money to help others. At the first， she felt surprised. When she found out I was seriously， she offered me 500 yuan. She bought some toys and went to the orphanage in our city. I handed out the toys to the child and had a good time with them.

Dear students，

Most of us get some exercise by walking or riding our bikes to school， but that just isnt enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world—soccer.

Two weeks ago， Mr Goldstein， the physical education teacher， posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club （for Grades 3—5）. To join， all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. Youll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players Mr Goldstein will teach， so youll learn basic skills and new techniques （技巧） to improve your game. Thats good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you cant play is when there is snow.

However， it is hard to believe that only 19 people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids dont want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now， soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didnt sign up because youve never played soccer before， dont worry. Beginners are welcome and Ms Goldstein will give you more help.

A. Have a try.

B. Leave the company.

C. Develop my business quickly.

D. Give up the job for a new one.

Obviously， art always amuses children and they can easily engage in it. This only proves that introducing art education at an early age is a great way to let children express what they see in their environment. Art activities give your children pleasurable experiences.

Art education helps children learn and improve communication skills. Apparently， there are children who find difficulty in communicating in words. In this sense， expressing their feelings through art is an excellent outlet. Art for kids offers a lot of important skills in life that will lead them to the right path. Simply watching television can teach them to read and count. Therefore， allowing your kids to paint can tell the thought in their mind.

Every child should learn problem solving naturally and on his own. In fact， when children are making something like drawing or painting， it is one way of problem solving. It is because art gives more realistic models that are stable. Likewise， art education can also help in developing critical-thinking skills， music， dance and theater arts.

Moreover， creating arts in groups is an ideal way of mastering skills and in the same way they also learn from their peers without pressure unlike the formal teaching lessons. That is why adult supervising children engaging in art should know that art is not all about expressing talent but it is a skill of creativity.

Also， engaging in art education can help building confidence. It is because even if they do not make it the right way， yet they feel proud on their artistic creations. Since art is a good start to collaborate （合作） with others， children can easily learn the cultures from different parts of the world.

8. Who is the text probably written for？

A. Parents. B. Artists.

C. Teachers. D. Scientists.

9. According to Paragraph 2， kids learning painting ___ .

B. It makes peoples brains work better.

C. It provides more materials to choose from.

D. It helps people know more about realistic models.

Working with a group of baboons （狒狒） in the Namibian desert， Dr Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology， Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel （新奇的） food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task， while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were， Dr Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.

She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The brave baboons learnt， but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.

The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not， even though they spent more time watching.

This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （認知的） tasks not because they arent clever enough to solve them， but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.

The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they dont associate with the knowledgeable individuals， or they are too shy to use the information once they have it， information may not travel between all group members， preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.

12. What is the first paragraph mainly about？

A. The design of Dr Carters research.

B. The results of Dr Carters research.

C. The purpose of Dr Carters research.

D. The importance of Dr Carters research.

13. According to the research， baboons that are more likely to complete a new learning task are those that___ .

A. have more experience B. can avoid possible risks

C. like to work independently D. feel anxious about learning

14. Dr Carters experiment shows some of the baboons ___ .

A. are intelligent but slow in learning

B. are shy but active in social activities

C. observe others but dont follow them

D. perform new tasks but dont concentrate

15. Dr Carters findings indicate our culture might be formed through ___ .

A. our storing information

B. our learning from each other

C. our understanding different people

D. our traveling between social groups

Googles new camera， called Clips， is a small， smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip， but its not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly， it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.

This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera， with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness， is intended for candid moments， like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.

Onboard the Clips device， it uses machine learning algorithms （計算程序） to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that theres a face you see frequently， itll try to get nice photos of those faces，” said Juston Payne， the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a childs hand is over the lens （镜头）.

The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone， as it has no screen for viewing or editing.

Were people concerned it could seem strange？ Yes， Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides， unlike a camera meant to monitor your home， it is not connected to the Internet.

“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced，” Payne said. Going forward， were likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets （小装置）.

8. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips？

A. It enables easy Internet access.

B. It is equipped with tough glass.

C. It can be worn on your clothing.

D. It allows of hands-free photography.

9. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Brief. B. Touching.

C. Unforgettable. D. Embarrassing.

10. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne？

A. The advance in technology.

B. The popularity of the Internet.

C. The reduction in the price of lens.

D. The rise of the smartphone industry.

11. What is the best title for the text？

A. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life

B. An Alternative Way to Photograph

C. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps

D. A New Camera from Google

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States， yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself， “I would never sit back in a rocking chair， waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.

She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State， one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic （家庭的） service until， at 27， she married Thomas Moses， the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives， first in Virginia and then in New York State， at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children 7， of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery （刺繡） pictures as a hobby， but only changed to oils （油画） in old age because her hands had become too stiff （硬的） to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.

Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art， and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2，000 pictures： detailed and lively portrayals （描绘） of the country life she had known for so long， with a wonderful sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty， and then I paint it.” she said.

12. What word can best describe Grandma Moses according to Paragraph 1？

A. Independent. B. Pretty. C. Rich. D. Patient.

C. To earn more money. D. To make new friends.

C. Grandma Moses： Her Life and Pictures

D. Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists

How to Be Good at Sports

If sports are something that interests you， it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. Here are some tips that can help you become a good player.

Set ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports， you need to set your aims high.  Instead， you should take a look at what you are， and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.

Be patient.  Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If youre not patient， youll try to jump into advanced techniques long before youre ready. Youll feel discouraged when you dont see immediate improvement.

Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school， you should go for team tryouts （選拔赛） when theyre happening.

Accept criticism. When you play sports， you will unavoidably receive criticism， whether from a coach or other players.  Are they angry because you missed a pass， or do they sincerely want to help you improve？ In a lot of cases， you can use criticism as motivation （动力） to get better.

A skill becomes mastered when youre able to do it without thinking. Given enough time and practice， a skill will eventually fall under this category.

A. Skills are often slow to build.

B. This does not mean being unrealistic.

C. You need to take most of it with skepticism.

D. Practice until your skills become second nature.

E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at.

F. If youre not in school， you can find a sports club online.

G. An important reason why people join sports teams is to

make friends.

Dear Mary，

I receive your E-mail just now. Dont worry about me. Im getting on well at my research work in the lab. But to my greatly surprise， you say you will give up learn English. The reason is that you have not been done well in it recently and you have lost interests. Im afraid I cant agree with you. I know it is difficult to learn English， so English is widely using in the world today. It will be important tool in our future work. Besides， it is becoming more and more important in our daily life. If you study hard， you will succeed. Do remember that when there is a will， there is a way. Im looking forward to hearing good news from you.

Big Reveal of Olympians Diets

奥运选手饮食大揭秘

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these elite athletes eat to stay in peak shape？

Keri Glassman， a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals， appeared on “Good Morning America” to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.

Crazy Calorie Count

Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12，000 calories in one day.

Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman， Phelps workouts can burn 4，000 to 6，000 calories in a day， and those calories must be replenished in order to train the following day.

Snacking Secrets

Some athletes eat wacky foods that they swear to improve their performance.

Yohan Blake， the Jamaican sprinter and 100-meter world champion， has been making waves for stealing champion sprinter Usain Bolts thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. When asked about how he gets his stamina， Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day， Glassman said.

Jonathan Horton， the lead gymnast on the US team， has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym， he takes swigs of honey to boost his energy， Glassman said. According to Horton， the sugar rushes to his blood right away and he feels amazing for the next hour or so.

Foods for Recovery

What are the best foods to help the body recover after rigorous competition？

For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte， the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce， whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte， who cut out junk food， candy and soda， has undertaken a rigorous strength-training regimen that involves flipping tractor tires， dragging shipyard chains and tossing beer kegs， Glassman said.

Lochtes recovery meal has all the important macronutrients necessary for recovery.

要成為奥运选手，仅靠刻苦训练是不够的。要获得金牌，选手需要一些重要营养的摄入。你是否好奇过这些精英运动员是靠吃什么来保持巅峰状态的呢？

克里·格拉斯曼是注册营养学家和膳食营养生活组织的创始人，他在《早安美国》节目中会让你看到一些顶级运动员的膳食。他们的一些饮食可能会令你惊讶。

疯狂的卡路里数量

格拉斯曼说，奥运选手们会吃很多的食物——其分量相当于普通人处于狼吞虎咽状态的食量。游泳名将迈克尔·菲尔普斯在2008年北京奥运会惊艳表现的秘诀之一就是，他一天会摄入高达12000卡路里的热量。

运动员高强度的运动量使他们如此饮食却不会增加体重。根据格拉斯曼的说法，菲尔普斯一天的训练会消耗4000到6000卡路里热量，而这些消耗掉的热量必须补充回来，以应对第二天的训练。

零食秘密

有些运动员会吃一些他们宣称能提高他们成绩的古怪食品。

牙买加短跑运动员兼百米世界冠军约安·布莱克曾在奥运会测试赛的跑道上抢去世界短跑冠军尤塞恩·博尔特的风头。格拉斯曼说，当问到他的耐力从何而来时，布莱克回答说他每天都会吃掉16根香蕉。

美国体操队主力队员乔纳森·霍顿的血糖有问题，而他的解决方案是吃蜂蜜。格拉斯曼说，当霍顿在训练馆开始感到身体发抖时，就会吃几大口蜂蜜来补充能量。据霍顿说，这样他的血糖很快就上去了，在接下来的一个小时他都会感觉很棒。

康复饮食

在激烈的比赛过后，能帮助身体尽快恢复状态的最佳饮食是什么呢？

对奥运游泳选手瑞安·罗切特而言，恢复餐就是烤鸡胸脯肉配阿尔弗雷多酱、全麦意大利面和一份加柠檬汁和橄榄油的沙拉。格拉斯曼说，罗切特戒掉了垃圾食品、糖果和苏打汽水，开始了一项严格的力量训练养生法，其中包括抛拖拉机轮胎、拖船链及投掷啤酒桶。

罗切特的恢复餐中包括了所有恢复身体状态所必需的重要常量营养元素。
