Dream in Heart
On the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate﹣a wrinkled little old lady﹣to us． Her name was Rose， and she was eighty﹣seven years old．
After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk﹣shake． She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one． We became instant friends． Every day for the following months， we would leave class together and talk nonstop． I was always attracted， listening to this " time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me．
Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went． She tended to be highly motivated，responsible， and deeply involved in class participation． In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with． She even participated in some form of athletic activity． She said that extra﹣curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience， creating unique chances for friendship and learning．
At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal． A little embarrassed， she leaned into the microphone and simply said， " I' m sorry I' m so nervous．" As we laughed， she cleared her throat and began， " We do not stop playing because we are old； we grow old because we stop playing． There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up． If you' re nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year， you will turn twenty． If I' m eighty﹣seven years old and stay in bed for a year， I will turn eighty﹣eight． Anybody can grow older． It' s non﹣optional but that doesn' t take any talent or ability． The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change． In this way the elderly don' t have regrets for what they did， but rather for things they did not do．" Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing " The Rose"． She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives．
At the year' s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago． One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep． Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it' s never too late to be all you can possibly be．

（2）Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because　 　．
A． she was a great football fan
B． she was the smartest student
C． she tried hard to achieve her dream
D． she became more educated than the others
（3）We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that　 　．
A． growing older means growing up
B． it takes talent and ability to grow up
C． receiving high education helps to be courageous
D． one grows older at the same time when he grows up
（4）The passage is intended to　 　．

3．（8分）A new restaurant in Indonesia is on a mission （使命） to support locals trapped in poverty， many of whom are earning less than ﹩25 a month， by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food．
The Methane Gas Canteen， run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi， is located in an unexpected place for an eatery ﹣ Jatibarang Landfill． The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste， where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell． Meanwhile， the couple， who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant， is busy cooking．
What makes the restaurant unusual， aside from its location， is that no cash is required to pay for meals． Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash． Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in， calculates its worth， and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal， giving any extra value back to the customer． The scheme is part of the community's solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non﹣degradable plastics．
"I think we recycle 1 tonne of plastic waste a day， which is a lot． This way， the plastic waste doesn't pile up， drift down the river and cause flooding，" said Saimin． "It benefits everyone．"
The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between ﹩0.40 and ﹩0.80 each． Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to ﹩15 a day．
"I'm happy to see our customers enjoying their meals，" Sarimin told NHK World． "The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating． I want to give them that chance as much as possible．"

（1）What do we know about Jatibarang Landfill？　 　
A． It is a good place for people to eat meals
B． It is a place where locals collect plastic and glass to sell
C． It is a mountain which attracts many tourists
D． It is a modem plastic recycling plant．
（2）What makes the Methane Gas Canteen different？　 　
A． Its location and the way to pay for meals．
B． The delicious food and the kind﹣hearted owner．
C． Its location and those strange customers．
D． Its customers and the way to pay for meal．
（3）What does the underlined word mean？　 　
A． Increase
B． Replace
C． Remove
D． Equal
（4）Which of the following is NOT true？　 　
A． Sarimin and Suyatmi recycle plastic waste only to make money．

C． The restaurant seats around 30 people at present．

4．（8分）Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV．
Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience： a microchip implanted （植入） in their hands． Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands． Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free． Each chip costs ﹩300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip． Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands． About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so． The president of the company， his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands．
The chip is about the size of a grain of rice． Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly． The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger． With a chip in the hand， a person can enter the office building， buy food， sign into computers and more， simply by waving that hand near a scanner． The chips will be also used to identify employees． Employees who want convenience， but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin， can wear a wristband （腕带） or a ring with a chip instead． They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip．
Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees． Epicenter， a company in Sweden， has been implanting chips in its employees for a while．
Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees． The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them． "The chips protect against identity theft， similar， to credit cards．" The U．S． Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004，so they should be safe for humans， according to the company．
In the future， people with the chips may be able to do more with them， even outside the office． Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market． He says， "Eventually， this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport， public transit， all purchasing opportunities， etc．"

（1）What is the third paragraph mainly about？　 　
A． The substitutes of the chips．
B． The advantages of the chips．
C． The places to implant the chips．
D． The potential risks of implanting the chips．
（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 5 refer to？　 　
A． the hands
B． the employees
C． the scanners
D． the credit cards
（3）We can infer that　 　．
A． the chips have magic powers

5．（10分）When we were kids， if our parents wanted us to stop the screen time， they would turn off the TV．（1）　 　 They grab the cell phone， the tablet or the laptop． Here we will talk about how to control their screen time．
First， limit the time they use screens．（2）　 　 Kids are smart． Once you go back to your daily routine， they will quickly be back on a screen． Because they just don't understand that when you tell them to get off the tablet or computer， you mean for the rest of the day．
（3）　 　 It can be going outside to play， reading a fun book or cleaning their room． Presenting them with an alternative helps the under﹣developed planning part of their little brains get past what they can't do and see what else is possible．
And third， hide the screen device． That one may not seem very fair． （4）　 　 If they don't see the device around the house， they can't grab it． This way， works for us adult﹣types who may be a little too addicted to screens ourselves．
Ultimately， the best way to help kids recognize how much is too much screen time is to limit our own． Yeah， you may have to stare at one all day for your job， but do you really have to come home and immediately turn on the TV or answer that email on your phone？ Don't think your kids aren't taking excuses from your actions．（5）　 　

A． Second， give them an alternative．
B． So， it's necessary to set a limited time．
C． It may seem easy， but it can be challenging．
D． Now， kids often have a choice of which screen they want．
E． They watch you just as closely as they watch those screens．
F． Now go to find a screen and turn it off， for you and for your kids．
G． But the phrase "out of sight， out of mind" actually works sometimes．

One day I was invited to speak to the students at a neighboring school． I confidently wheeled into a classroom filled with students who （14）　 　 at me just like the little girl in the pool．" How do you feel when you see me？" I asked them． The kids bravely （15）　 　， " I feel sorry for you．"
I opened my book and started reading． Immediately I noticed the children's stares turned to （16）　 　． " How do you feel when you see me？" I asked again． Without （17）　 　 they replied， " You are so cool! Does your （18）　 　fly too？" I just smiled， "No， not yet， but maybe some day．" I knew in my heart that this was （19）　 　． The past two years had proven to me that with （20）　 　anything is possible．
