I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life—how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. All he asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
4. We know from the reading that the father ____.
A. liked to paint houses B. had no friends around him
C. was not healthy in his youth D. thought of his family as his all
5. When her father painted her first house, the daughter ____.
A. could only afford a glass of iced tea B. was too busy to talk to her father
C. could do nothing but hold a paintbrush
D. spent eight hours a day working with her father
6. On January 16, 1995, the daughter felt that her father ____.
A. seemed to be a little different B. had no time to phone her as usual
C. became interested in church D. had forgotten to discuss some things with her
7. Which is the best title of the reading?
A. Painting Houses B. Daughters Family
C. Father and I D. Fathers Phone Calls

Disney has adapted a series of beloved animated films into its live-action (真人) movies, and that trend has not even begun to slow.
On Monday, the company announced that the newest movie to get the live-action treatment would be Mulan.
Based on the same Chinese legend as the 1998 animated movie, Mulan will follow in the footsteps of Cinderella, Maleficent, and several already-announced upcoming movies.
Since 2010, Disney has released three live-action adaptations of formerly animated movies: Alice In Wonderland, Maleficent, and Cinderella.
All three have proven to be financial successes, with Alice In Wonderland earning over $1 billion and Maleficent bringing in $758 million.
Even the most recent offering, Cinderella, has managed to earn over $330 million in its first three weeks of wide release.
Fans of live-action remakes will not have to wait for Mulan, since Disney has already planned four other adaptations to hit theatres first.
The Jungle Book is the next movie to get a live-action revival, planned for 2016.
A retelling of Beauty And The Beast—starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, and Audra McDonald—will begin production in May, with an expected release date of March 17, 2017.
Surprisingly, the other Disney cartoon getting an adaptation is 1941s Dumbo, the story of a flying elephant.
Tim Burton signed on to direct that tricky movie on March 10.
8. Why will Mulan get the live-action treatment?
A. Because its a famous Chinese legend.
B. Because its a trend to remake beloved animated films into live-action ones.
C. Because it earned over $330 million at the box office.
D. Because its better than Cinderella.
9. Which of the following film has NOT been adapted into a live-action movie?
A. Dumbo. B. Cinderella. C. Alice In Wonderland. D. Maleficent.
10. Which of the following is the RIGHT order of time when the live-action remakes come out?
a. Cinderella b. Beauty And The Beast c. The Jungle Book d. Alice In Wonderland
A. abcd B. cdba C. dacb D. bdca
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The present situation of the film market.
B. The introduction of some famous animated films.
C. The live-action remakes of some animated films.
D. An advertisement of an animated film Mulan.

Located at Europes biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the worlds first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds—Space, Sky, or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster-like experience.
While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the technology behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (無线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.
The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. Thats because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the riders progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.
Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Gliders success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!
12. What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?
A. They can swim with dolphins. B. They can explore the outer space.
C. They can experience VR water slide. D. They can swap out sets all day long.
13. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.
B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.
C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.
D. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.
14. What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?
A. The painkillers. B. The fixed speed.
C. A sensor fixed in important areas. D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.
15. What is the authors attitude towards the VR water slide?
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Oppose. D. Indifferent.

The Care and Keeping of Friends by American author Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. _2_ You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.

_5_ Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesnt want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again: tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
A. What makes a good friend?
B. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy.
C. But things cannot always be happy.
D. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree.
