Shenzhen’s transport police recently declared a policeman a “star” member of staff, after he continued to serve in his post even after losing his newborn son. After a netizen made that known, internet users were merciless in their criticism, claiming Sun had sacrificed his son for his career and was unqualified to be a father or even a human being. Though Sun’s wife said via her micro blog he was the best husband and father in the world, it didn’t stop the tide of condemnation.

I feel deeply sorry for this man. It’s not that he should have received the award. It’s traditional in China for individuals to make sacrifices for a group or the country, which remains to be questioned. What annoys me is the netizens pouring anger on the father instead of showing sympathy. Why are they so quick to claim the moral high ground and set themselves up as judges? Whether the father accompanied his son until the last moment or not is a personal affair. The treatment of Sun is a case in point—of the “tyranny(專制)of the majority”. And the majority is not always correct or fair.

Micro blogs have been a growing trend in China in the last few years, becoming a channel for ordinary people to express their opinions, which was previously the preserve of elites(精英) and the media. The positive side of this has been praised enough. But we also need to examine the downside: Self-proclaimed(自詡的)online arbiters of what is right and wrong form another type of unfair rule running cruelly over opinions that don’t match their own. Without knowing enough details and without any serious thought, they pronounce their judgment as opinion of the “majority”.

We should question this expression of personal opinion and the commonness of group attacks. What we need is real, independent critical thinking instead of an Internet mob(暴徒).

I have no idea how to change the situation but I do hope it happens.

1.What do we know about the policeman referred to ?

A.He was a model policeman but a failure as a father.

B.He cared little about the loss of his newborn son.

C.He was severely under verbal(言語上的) attack of the netizens.

D.He did not even have his wife’s understanding.

2.The writer of the passage probably will agree that .

A.the policeman quite deserved the honor of the award.

B.individuals’ sacrifice for a group is undoubtedly a good act.

C.micro blogs are a preserved channel for elites and the media only.

D.some netizens claim their unsound judgments as opinion of the majority.

3.The underlined word “arbiters” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A.bloggers B.referees

C.criminals D.programmers

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Tyranny of the majority online goes wild

B.Policeman who lose baby son got awarded

C.Micro blogs need tough control

D.How to stay away from Internet mobs

When it comes to President Obama,most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha,however,has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House,as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:

The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips,even if it's not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend,and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports:one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服)before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables,and if they say they are not hungry,they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some,Michelle said,“They're not little princesses. It's just basic rules,boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules:

The girls must do their chores(家務(wù)),though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team,how to lose and how to win gracefully.

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well ­rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

1.What's the passage mainly about?

A.The first family rules.

B.The first family daily life.

C.How to be good parents.

D.How to be good children.

2.What do the underlined words “under wraps” in Para 1 probably mean?

A.Attractive. B.Secret.

C.Calm D.Public.

3.What has to be followed after the girls' every trip?

A.Emails B.Reports.

C.Homework. D.Photos.

4.Which of the following is the exception for the girls?

A.To learn to do laundry.

B.To play two sports.

C.To use cell phone freely.

D.To eat their vegetables.

A閱讀理解

One of those big social networking sites, Facebook, has attracted over 58 million members. Commentator Melody Cramer is no longer one of them. Here is what she shares with us about her story.

I deleted all 1,281 of my co?workers, second?grade classmates and people who I don’t know at all. I shut down my account, completely. I’m 30, and I’ve been on Facebook since March of 2004, which makes me one of the website’s earliest users.

At first, I used it obsessively. If I had a free moment, I’d log on to see whether my friends had updated their profiles. I’d sit alone scrolling through these updates and then run into someone at a coffee shop and have nothing to say because I already knew everything about them, and they knew everything about me.

In November, I went to my ten?year high school reunion and was not pleasantly surprised. Lauren became a model, Josh went to law school, Dina was a teacher. I hadn’t talked to any of them since graduation, but I knew exactly what they were doing, both now and last week. But lately, I’m overwhelmed(應(yīng)接不暇). Facebook opened up to everyone, not just college students, and my co?workers started to join, which meant they now knew what I was doing when I wasn’t at work.

And as a rule: you can NOT make friends with your coworkers because then they’ll ask you the next day. But I thought we were friends. And you are friends but not the kind of friends who tell each other what they do outside of work. So now the people you work with can see what you did last night, and you’re constantly worrying what people might say about what you did last night instead of actually doing anything tonight.So Iquit. I became a 30?year?old Luddite, a person who is strongly against technology development. I’ve retuned to how the world worked when I was 20, before I knew when my friends and co?workers were counting down the seconds to vacation or entering a complicated relationship. I’m hoping life will be a lot simpler now. Peoplewill be more mysterious now that I actually have to talk to them to find out their favorite books or hobbies orneurosis(神經(jīng)癥). I don’t know when my college roommate goes to the supermarket, and I think I’m a better person for not knowing. In fact, you could say getting off a social network was the best thing I’ve done thisweek.

1.Melody Cramer decided to quit Facebook mainly because ______.

A. she thought it wasted too much time

B. she was afraid of the strangers on her account

C. she was tired of exposing her life to co?workers

D. she thought it made real?world life less interesting

2.We can learn from the passage that Melody Cramer ______.

A. had a 10?year membership of Facebook

B. used to be very objected to Facebook

C. was unpleasant to attend high school reunion

D. was one of the co-founders of Facebook

3.Which of the following about Melody Cramer is TRUE?

A. She owes her communication skills to Facebook.

B. She wishes she could be several years younger.

C. She prefers to face her friends and co-worders in reality.

D. She is no longer curious about anything around her.

4.The best title for this passage can be _____.

A. Addiction to Facebook

B. Farewell to Facebook

C. Friends Online

D. A Simpler Life

A study notes that Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother."The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (劍). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brogher was using the beat-up ones."

"Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It's a common inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain control when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."

1.Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____.

A. make good decisions

B. show self-centeredness

C. lack care from others

D. have little sense of fear

2.The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in Paragraph 2 means _____.

A. inborn nature B. accepted theory

C. developed character D. particular environment

3.The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _____.

A. should not set limits for their children

B. should give more power to their children

C. should be strict with their children properly

D. should let children find sense of safety by themselves

4.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that bossy children may become

A.relaxed and confident B. hesitant and weak

C.lonely and anxious D.willful and unbending

The United States Capitol Dome(圓頂) in Washington, DC, is recognized around the world as a symbol of the U.S. Government. Since last November, the dome has been surrounded by metal poles and heavy cloth as part of a repair project.

The last major repair work on the U.S. Capitol took place in 1960. Since then, the dome has become weathered and worn. The Architect of the Capitol group reports that the dome has more than 1,000 narrow breaks on its surface and other damage.

The dome was completed around 1863. U. S. Senate Historian Don Ritchie says the dome’s cast(石膏) iron frame is at special risk of weathering. “The capitol dome, being cast iron, has been hit by lightning countless times. And so the current construction is to repair the leaks, to fill the cracks, to take off extra layers of paint.”

Some recent visitors to the Capitol were unhappy about its current appearance. They had hoped to get a picture of the usually shining dome. Joyce said, “It was impressive, and very fantastic, and all white, but when I come here today, it is under construction so my family cannot see it clearly, it is kind of a disappointment.”

Others were more understanding of the repairs. Rick Jones, another visitor, said, “It’s a little inconvenient for us not to see the dome but you have to think about the future and the people will be coming to this place for centuries...and you know ,there just needs to be preventive maintenance(維護). I am not upset with that at all.”

The project is expected to take more than two years to complete. The dome should be ready for a new president in January 2017.

1.We can learn from the passage that the United States Capitol Dome is _______.

A. widely recognized as a symbol of the U.K. government.

B. surrounded by many repair projects

C. worn by being exposed to the weather

D. well maintained and in excellent condition

2. Which of the following is NOT included in the current construction?

A. To replace the cast iron frame.

B. To stop the leaks(滲漏).

C. To remove the old paint.

D. To fill up the narrow breaks.

3.What do we learn about the recent visitors to the Capitol ?

A. They could get a clear look at the dome.

B. They were all disappointed at the sight of the Capitol’s building.

C. They were impressed by the white dome’s fantastic beauty.

D. They held different views on the Capitol’s current appearance.

4.The text is most probably taken from ___________.

A. a book review B. a news report

C. a guide book D. a science report
