B
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was
better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey — and the best part of yourself.
24. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A. It was less tiring B. It would be faster and safer
C. Her kids would feel less confined D. She felt better with other drivers nearby
25. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to _____.
A. relax in the fresh air B. take a deep breath
C. let the kids play with Banner D. take care of the lamb
26. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A. Freeways are where beauty hides.
B. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
27. What does the underlined word “detour” mean ?
A. A fast and straight road trip B. A route which is long and not direct
C. A pleasant and meaningful tour D. An unpleasant road trip
C
Everyone could feel a sudden impulse（冲动） and buy something unnecessary. Then how to avoid it? The best way is to just keep your hands away from tempting products. According to new research, individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire to purchase them than those who keep their hand off the products.
Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck, marketing professors at the University of Wisconsin’s business school conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived(感觉)ownership on the value placed on an object. For one of the experiments, the experts placed two products, a Slinky toy and a coffee mugin front of the volunteers who were undergraduate students. About half of the participants were allowed to touch the products, while the other half were asked not to touch them. The volunteers then were asked to express their sense of ownership of the products and to report how much money they were willing to pay for each. The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased level of perceived ownership. They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products.
The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products, determined how much money consumers were willing to pay. However, if the object did not feel pleasant to the touch, it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay.
Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right path. But what can be done while shopping online, when touching of an item is not possible? In this case, the experts say, just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it, will cause greater feelings of ownership, and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase.
When you touch an object, you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it, according to the researchers. That connection stirs up(唤起) an emotional reaction. And that emotion can make people buy something they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it.
28. How does the author develop the text?
A. By providing typical examples.
B. By drawing a conclusion through research.
C. By comparing opinions from different fields.
D. By presenting a cause and analyzing its effects.
29. Which of the following was found in the research?
A. Touching a product affects the customer’s feelings of desire for it.
B. If you are not to spend money, it’s less possible for you to touch the product.
C. The longer you touch the goods, the more desire you have to own them.
D. Shoppers cannot resist the temptation when they meet things they like.
30. What would happen to them when people do online shopping?
A. They immediately feel a connection to it.
B. They will particularly want to touch the products advertised on the Internet.
C. They desire to possess it and do not care how much money they would pay.
D. People’s imaginable ownership led to a greater possibility of purchasing products.
31. What led the researchers to conduct this study?
A. To figure out the connection between touch and feelings of ownership.
B. To satisfy customers’ social needs when shopping.
C. To share the good ideas about avoid impulsive consumption.
D. To develop marketing strategies for trade companies.
D
A young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.
The concept rises from a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” — a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression — “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.
One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”
The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million
“hikikomori” — a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.
32. What is special about the “silent cafes”?
A. It provides various tea and books. B. People are not allowed to communicate.
C. It offers service by writing not by speaking. D. It has attracted many popular young people.
33. Which of the following brings about the idea of being alone in Japan?
A. The stable economic situation. B. The increasing social isolation.
C. The rapid development of the Internet. D. The rising demand for privacy.
34. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?
A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse. B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.
C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place. D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A new concept in Japan B. Social recluses in Japan
C. Silent cafes D. Lonely Japanese

Three years ago I failed a important exam and become a student in an ordinary school. Although I felt disappointing at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, but I found the teachers patient and considerate. Beside, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class and decided to make the best of it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, that greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determine who you are.

Dear Jack,
How is everything going? First of all, I would like to convey my gratitude for your help and kindness during my stay in London .
Knowing that you show a great interest in Chinese culture, especially National Day, I would love to introduce it to you. National Day, one of the most significant festivals in China, falls on October 1st every year. So far, it has been 70 years since the PRC was founded. On October 1st this year, there were various celebrations such as a grand military parade and magnificent fireworks display in Beijing to mark/ commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC. People all over the country were very excited and proud to celebrate the day together.
Welcome to China and you will surely have an unforgettable experience if you come to China.(Lastly, I’d like to extend an invitation to you to come to China and have an unusual experience .)
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

M: What would it be like working with those young stars?
W: It was a great group. I always got mad when people said that we didn't get along. Just because we were girls, there was never a fight. We had a great time.
Text 6
W: Excuse me. I was wondering if you have any idea who owns that car. I've noticed it's been parked illegally with its windows open for the last two days. I'm thinking about calling the police.
M: No, I don't know anything about that car. I agree with you that it is kind of strange for it to be sitting there like that, though.
Text 7
W: Can you give me something for an upset stomach, please? I'm on holiday, and I think it's the change of water.
M: Yes, these tablets should settle your stomach. Just one tablet (药片) a day for three days. And if you still feel bad, you should see a doctor.
W: Thank you. And can you give me something for sunburn? My little boy was out in the park all day yesterday.
M: This after-sun cream is good. But you should always put on some cream before you go out in the sun as well.

Text 10
W: When I was younger I felt I ought to do all the cleaning, shopping and ironing myself, but now I don't. I have a pressured but well-paid job, so I can pay someone else to do these chores(家务) so that I'm free to do the things I enjoy, like cooking. I have a cleaner who comes three mornings a week and she also does the ironing.
Coming home to a clean kitchen is wonderful, better than any facial or massage(按摩) treatment, and well worth the money. Recently, I decided to cut out my weekly supermarket visit too, and now have organic food delivered. I use local shops for other groceries, so I never have to go to the supermarket at all now. Although I like shopping for clothes, having my house cleaned is more important to me.
