A

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. y was one of my

customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep,

there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.

y talked mostly about her dead husband,

morning.

汽水

) went up my nose.

I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was

probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd

work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she

seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(

墓地

).

I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed

paths at a church fund- raiser(

募捐活动

). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy.

Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she

had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.

I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named

Edna with three kids. She asks me how

I'm doing. When I don't say

most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state

of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because

they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

21. Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?

A. He was talking fast.

B. He was shocked.

C. He was in a hurry.

D. He was absent-minded.

22. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?

A. He enjoyed the drink.

B. He wanted to be helpful.

C. He took the chance to rest.

D. He tried to please his dad.

23. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase

A. recover from her sadness

B. move out of the neighborhood

C. turn to her old friends

D. speak out about her past

24. What does the author think people in a community should do?

A. Open up to others.

B. Depend on each other.

C. Pay for other's help

D. Care about one another.

B

What would you say if we told you that you could learn to speak a new language in only 7 days?

Pretty unbelievable right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David-one of our brave

Babbel learners

—

to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking Norwegian(

挪威语

)in

just one week.

How much time did you learn each day?

I didn’t need to give my entire life over to learning Norwegian. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15

minutes, and I set myself the achievable aim of finishing three Babbel lessons took only

45minutes each day.

How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly?

The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in

Norwegian within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize my learning by selecting

single-topic lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, traveling and so on. This allowed me to

quickly enlarge my vocabulary!

This way of learning kept me highly active,and made sure I wasn’t bored to tears with grammar

practice that we all remember from school!

“After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in Norwegian,talk about my hobbies and interests,

and most importantly,communicating with a native Norwegian speaker in a real conversation and I

could even play a joke or two!”

Would you introduce this app to others?

Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from so if you’re thinking about brushing up on

your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Portuguese (

葡萄牙语

) for next year’s

summer vacation, you’ll be happy to hear that you

only need an app, 7 days of learning to get you

conversational.

25. The Babbel app is used for people to

.

A. learn languages

B. do business

C. speak with natives

D. plan a vacation

26. How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly?

A It took him little time every day.

B. It provided him with 14 languages.

C. It gave him daily grammar practice.

D. It offered lessons according to his needs,

27. The example of David is used in the passage to show that

.

A. hard work matters a lot

B. Babbel app sells well

C. Norwegian is easy to learn

D. Babbel app really helps

LEGO is the name of a line of toys featuring colorful plastic bricks, mini figures, and other pieces

which

can

be

assembled

(

组装的

)

to

create

models

of

almost

anything

imaginable.

High

production

quality

and

careful

attention

to

detail

ensure

that

LEGO

pieces

can

fit

together

in

a

range of ways, which is one of the main reasons for the toy’s success.

The LEGO Group had humble beginnings in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen in Demark.

Ole

Kirk

started

creating

wooden

toys

in

1932, but

it wasn’t

until

1949

that

the

famous

plastic

LEGO

brick

was

created.

The

company

name

LEGO

was

created

by

Ole

Kirk

from

a

Danish

phrase meaning “play well”.

In 1947, Ole Kirk and his son Godtfred obtained samples of interlocking (

连锁的

) plastic bricks

produced

by

the

company

Kiddicraft.

Two

years

later,

in

1949,

they

began

producing

similar

bricks,

calling

them

“Automatic

Binding

Bricks”.

These

bricks

were

developed

in

spirit

of

traditional

wooden

blocks

that

could

be

stacked

(

堆放的

)

upon

one

another.

However,

these

plastic bricks could be “locked” together. They would stick together, but not so tightly that they

couldn’t b

e pulled apart. It is the most excellent feature of the plastic bricks.

The use of plastic for toy manufacture was not highly regarded by retailers and consumers of the

time. Many of the LEGO Group’s shipments were returned, following poor sales. It was th

ought

that plastic toys could never replace wooden ones.

By 1954, Godtfred Christiansen had become the junior managing director of the

LEGO Group.

Godtfred saw the great potential in LEGO to become a system for creative play, but the bricks still

had some

problems: their “locking” ability was limited, and they were not very versatile (

多样的

).

It wasn’t until 1958 that the modern

-day LEGO brick design was developed. The bricks had much

better locking ability and improved versatility.

Over

the

years,

many

more

LEGO

sets,

series

and

pieces

were

created,

with

many

innovative

improvements and additions, resulting in the colorful versatile building toys that we know today.

B. LEGO bricks did not sell very well at first.

C. LEGO stopped using plastic for toys after a serious problem.

D. Godtfred Christiansen wasn’t a far
