When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble — a word game — against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’ve taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything she has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing（文字处理）. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.
“Are you demanding this with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.
“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”
My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy（过敏反应）. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last month than we’ve had in the past 20 years.
24. What does the author do?
A. She is a cook. B. She is a teacher.
C. She is a housewife. D. She is a computer engineer.
25. The author decided to give her mother a computer ________.
A. to let her have more chances to write letters B. to support her in doing her homework
C. to help her through the bad times D. to make her life more enjoyable

26. The author asked her mother to write her a letter ________.
A. because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B. because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C. so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D. so that her mother could be free from housework
27. After the computer was brought home, the author’s father ________.
A. lost interest in cooking B. took more phone calls
C. played more games D. began to use it
C
At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach（蟑螂）flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cock-roach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.
The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.
It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it’s not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam. More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond（回应）. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive（本能的）while responses tend to be well thought out.
28. What happened in the outdoor restaurant?
A. A cockroach was found in a woman’s food and then a man found the same problem.
B. A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.
C. A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.
D. A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.
29. According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you should __________ in your car.
A. complain your delay B. feel upset and annoyed
C. relax yourself by listening to music D. expect someone to clear the road
30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5 ?
A. disorder. B. success. C. poverty. D. violence
31. What does the passage tell us?
A. Speak less, do more! B. Actions speak louder than words!
C. Mind your manners while in a restaurant!
D. Don’t react just from your feelings; respond positively!
D
From sleeping standing up to shutting down half of their brain, animals have some strange sleeping habits.
Now some of these unusual habits, from napping giraffes to birds that sleep while flying, have been shown in a chart. This chart shows that little brown bats are very lethargic, sleeping for around 19.5 hours per day.
This long period of sleep is thought to be a way of conserving energy and it means brown bats only hunt for a few hours each night when their insect food is available. In contrast, giraffes can go weeks without sleep because these large and slow-moving animals are constantly easy to the attacks from predators.
However, other animals are experts at multitasking and can swim or fly while sleeping. For example, dolphins and whales sleep while keeping half of their brain alert（警觉），so they don’t drown, with dolphins typically napping for around 10 hours a day. The method is known as “logging” and it has been observed in bottlenose dolphins, which keep half of their brain at a low level of alertness. This allows the dolphin to keep enough consciousness to carry on breathing through its blowhole.
While sea otters aren’t alert while they sleep，they form rafts so they are not separated from each other. The creatures sometimes hold hands or paws when they sleep and typically eat, sleep and rest while floating in groups of rafts.
32. The underlined word “lethargic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_____.
A. sleepy
B. inactive
C. energetic
D. movable
33. Why do little brown bats have a long period of sleep?
A. To avoid sunshine.
B. To save more energy.
C. To relax themselves.
D. To wait for their insect food.
34. How do dolphins avoid drowning while sleeping?
A. By taking extra naps.
B. By holding hands or paws.
C. By keeping half of their brain alert.
D. By breathing through their blowholes.
35. What do sea otters do in order not to be separated from each other?
A. They don’t sleep.
B. They float on rafts.
C. They float in groups.
D. They hold hands all the time.
