Thanks to a young waiter, I recently found a friend of 20 years was once a yo-yo virtuoso(大师).
“Oh, stop it!” Jackie said when I started laughing during our dinner. “I was, too. And I knew how to ‘Walk the Dog.’”
“Wow, really?” said our waiter, Jumario Simmons, flashing a big smile at us.
“Don’t encourage her,” I said.
“What else could you do?” he asked.
“I did ‘Round the World,’” Jackie said, now ignoring me completely. “That was cradle(婴儿时期的)thing, too.”
I’d asked Jumario what he did when he wasn’t waiting on tables. The 24-year-old waiter was so smart that I knew there had to be more to his story. It turns out that he won a regional yo-yo competition last year. He also gives free lessons to kids. “It gives them something to do,” Jumario said. “Keeps them off the streets.”
One of the great things about eating out is the table talk with strangers, which reminds us that everyone has a life and a name. But the other day I heard that some restaurants are ending this talk between diners and servers. I listened to the reporter describe how their improvements are allowing customers to text orders from their tables to speed up service.
The reporter got my attention with this sentence “Five minutes after typing ‘I’m at table 3’, a meal arrives at the table.” But there wasn’t a “please” with this order, which should have been a request. If you’ve ever waited on tables, you know that the last thing you need is yet another way for a customer to be unpleasant.
Most servers are often mediating(调解)between customers’ requests for substitutions and overworked cooks’ accusations of treason(背叛). Except at high-end restaurants, servers also have to walk back and forth like mothers of preschoolers so that we might consider them worthy of a large enough tip to lift their pay to minimum wage.
Texting a server from a table a few feet away is equal to moving our fingers and shouting, “Hey, you!” It was rude in 1957, and it’s rude now. You won’t ever find me texting a waiter or waitress.
What do we know from the text?

A.The waiter knows Jackie well.
B.The waiter is good at playing yo-yo.
C.Jackie plays yo-yo in her spare time.
D.The author has a great interest in playing yo-yo.

Some restaurants allow diners to text a server from a table to ________.

A.improve their service
B.reduce the cost of service
C.show respect for diners
D.stop talks between diners and servers

What’s the last but one paragraph mainly about?

A.The pay of servers.
B.The work of servers.
C.The customers’ request.
D.The work of mothers of preschoolers.

From the passage, the author’s attitude towards texting a server from a table is ________.

A.indifferent B.positive
C.curious D.negative

Some people collect stamps. Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.
For the past 10 years, people have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. “It’s a drawing of a lift. And the secret says: ‘I feel guilty when I take lifts for one floor, so I limp when I get out.’” Frank said.
Ten years ago, Mr. Warren created an art project called PostSecret. People then began to send him postcards, other objects and emails telling their secrets. Every Sunday, he chooses 10 secrets and puts them on the website.
Mr. Warren says he created PostSecret so people could share their secrets in a safe place. “I was struggling with secrets in my own life. And it was by creating this safe place where others could share their secrets with me, I think that space was something I needed just as much as they did.”
He has published six books full of the secrets people have shared with him. One secret in each book is his. Eric Perry delivers mail for the U.S. Postal Service. He has brought thousands of secrets to Frank’s home over the past three years. “I have a couple of the books that Frank’s given me and I’ve read them all and my family has read them all and it’s wild!”
The project itself was once one of Frank’s secrets. His wife Jan didn’t know exactly what he was doing until the first book was published. The publisher told him that the address was going to be on the book, and he refused. However, the address was there just because of the contract between them. Actually Warren wasn’t very happy about that.
Some people tell Frank of their secret desire to kill themselves. So he and the PostSecret community have raised more than $1 million to help prevent suicides(自杀).
It is implied in Mr. Warren’s words in Paragraph 2 that ________.

A.the person was ashamed of using an elevator for one floor
B.Americans are not allowed to use an elevator for one floor
C.the person felt guilty when pretending to be a disabled one
D.he has received different secrets about using an elevator

Mr. Warren created PostSecret in order to ________.

A.satisfy his curiosity about others’ secrets
B.collect more materials for his series of books
C.offer a safe place for people to share their secrets
D.earn a lot of money by sharing others’ secrets online

What do we know about Eric Perry from the passage?

A.His family are eager to collect the books written by Frank.
B.His main job is to deliver mails and postcards for Frank.
C.He has been a postman who has a great many secrets.
D.He has developed a good relationship with Frank.

What was Mr. Warren’s secret according to the passage?

A.He once took the lift only for one floor.
B.He is interested in collecting others’ secrets.
C.He created an art project without telling his wife.
D.He helped prevent others from committing suicides.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁荣). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among those who are against competition are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.
Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.
What is the best title of this passage?

A.Competition! Why Friends Turn into Enemies
B.Competition! What Self-respect Depends on
C.New Meaning Found in Competition
D.Two Mistaken Beliefs about Competition

Why do some young people suffering from competitive pressures seek failure?

A.Because they are aware that they will not succeed in competition.
B.Because they don’t think it worthwhile to compete with others.
C.Because they are afraid that they would not be valued if they lost.
D.Because they are fed up with the great efforts needed to compete with others.

Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A.One should treat competition as a life-and-death affair.
B.One should make every effort to avoid competition.
C.One should get rid of the fear of failure in competition.
D.One should be given rewards after competing with others.

The true competitors and those with a desire to fail both believe ________.

A.one’s self-worth comes from how well he performs in comparison with others
B.one’s dream can be achieved if he has mastered good communication skills
C.one’s failure happens when he is suffering from emotional problems
D.one’s success is based on how hard he has tried

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For a lot of parents, sending their kids off to college is a bittersweet experience. I think a lot of teenagers head to college without any idea about how money works. Don’t let that happen to your college kid. Help them understand these issues before they step into that first class.
·Budget, budget, budget.         So start by making sure you understand budgeting and have begun to use it as part of your financial plan.
·Independence means responsibility. Living away from home means you have to take care of yourself.          Food doesn’t just drop out of the sky, and gas doesn’t magically appear in their car. Independence means responsibility.
·         Even if your kid is going to a small community college, they’ll still probably have a few thousand dollars of tuition to pay. If you break it down, one class can cost $1,000 at the very minimum! And that doesn’t even include books.
·Choose a major wisely.        This isn’t a must before they step on campus, but simply plant a seed that gets them started thinking about what they want to do with their life. You don’t want them graduating with a degree that leaves them unfulfilled or unable to find a job.
·Friends matter.        Who you hang out with definitely influences how you spend money and the decisions you make. Without being overbearing, remind them how important it is to have positive friends who build them up instead of bringing them down.
Remember, as a parent, just be there for support and to strengthen these principles throughout their college experience.

A.College isn’t cheap.
B.Cherish your opportunity.
C.Help your teenager find his or her passion.
D.However, not all friends can be really depended on.

E. New friends mean new opportunities and social situations.
F. Do your best to prepare your son or daughter for what that means.
G. If you aren’t using a budget, it’ll be difficult to convince your kid to use one.

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式(不多于3个单词)。
What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know       to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more       (throw) away as rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways    (bring) down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other      (company) now also take back some old computers.
In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and       (recycle) their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws      (be) that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers      (easy) to repair and upgrade (升级).
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford      at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.       computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish      someone else's useful things and cut down waste, too.
