All around the world， an increasing number of people are spending their time taking part in online volunteering projects. What encourages them to help strangers without expectation of money or even thanks？

Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV， though the two have never met， and neither knows the others name. Taralekar received no payment for the job. For Taralekar， the project gave her the chance to use her professional experience. “I want to serve people with my medical knowledge，” she said. For some， the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal. After losing his wife to cancer， Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect information on the illness. “Seeing how painful she was when my wife was dying， I decided to help scientists find a way to treat cancer，” he said.

Interests and hobbies are also one of the reasons. Sam Luk joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve murder cases. The police posted them online， calling for volunteers to help them to make sense of the messages. “I am interested in this and I love Sherlock Holmes，” said Luk.

For writer Clay Shirky， some large online volunteering projects help millions of people， giving him a sense of achievement. He helps write Wikipedia， the worlds biggest encyclopedia （百科全書）， which is written by people willing to use their professional knowledge.

You have probably heard the saying， “When life gives you lemons， make lemonade.” Since lemons are considered bitter and lemonade is considered sweet， the saying tells you to make the best out of a bad situation.

Unfortunately， when something bad happens， its not uncommon for most people to talk about it to anyone wholl listen， and complain （抱怨） about life， “Why me？” Thats like getting a bag of lemons， putting them down， and thinking， “Lemons taste bad！ Id rather have chocolate！” If you dont make anything with the lemons， they will go bad. But what if you did something with them？ What if you made lemonade？ Isnt it possible to do something similar with a bad situation？

Heres an example. Lets say youre about to go to the movies， but you discover you have a flat tire （癟胎）. You consider this a terrible thing. After all， you are really looking forward to spending some time with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Now youre all stressed out， hating the tire， the car， and your life. But what if you called AAA， got your tire fixed or got caught up on things that youd been meaning to do？ What if you did some reading， or had coffee with a friend instead？ A negative experience can be turned into something positive. Almost everything can work itself out into something better. You cant change what has happened. So make the best of it. Im not saying it will be easy. The easy thing to do is complain about your bad situation and not consider what it could be turned into.

Next time when some unfortunate things happen， stop and think， “How can I turn this around？ How can I make it a positive experience？” You neednt fear difficulties. As long as you keep on changing it， you will see the benefits at last.

5. What can we say about the saying in Paragraph 1？

A. It is encouraging. B. It is attractive.

C. It is negative. D. It is funny.

6. What do most people usually do when something bad happens？

A. Accept it. B. Complain about it.

7. The author uses the example of seeing a movie to tell us ___ .

A. how to deal with tire flat

B. it doesnt matter to make mistakes

C. meeting film stars is a very exciting thing

D. how to turn something bad into something good

8. According to the text， what is the best way to deal with a bad situation？

A. Trying hard to solve it.

B. Laughing your way through it.

C. Thinking more about its benefits.

D. Turning it into a positive experience actively.

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall， England. He never studied the piano. However， he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Qiopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago， he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鳴曲） by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly， his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare， but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents， but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now， he studies law and music.

Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago， I suddenly decided to start playing the piano， without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the note and can bear them in mind—each and every note，” says Samuel.

Recently， Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. Samuel says confidently， “Its all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”

However， Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy， Samuel heard someone read a story， and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now， he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

1. What is special about Samuel Osmond？

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包圍） by shops selling unhealthy， fatty foods， such as fried chicken and ice cream， at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants， then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight， I agree with this， because good eating habits begin early in life， long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food， or are always allowed to choose what they eat， they will go for sweet and salty foods every time， and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home， they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）， it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem， and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active， as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

5. What is the main reason for childrens overweight according to Paragraph 2？

A. They cant choose what to eat.

B. They are too busy to go out and play.

C. Their parents often cook meals for them.

D. There are too many fast food shops around.

6. People may eat more unhealthy food if they often ___ .

A. take exercise

B. walk to school

C. watch television

D. have meals at home

7. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？

A. Forcing. B. Guiding.

C. Driving. D. Moving.

8. What is the main purpose of the text？

A.To tell a story. B.To provide facts.

C. To give advice. D.To compare opinions.

Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps， language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something， instead of just listening to new information.

Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example， each week， his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.

The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity， whether its a game， quiz or practice activity，” he says.

Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps： QR Codes， Socrative and Evernote.

1. What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching？

A. They design learning Apps for their students.

B. They stop their students from using Apps after class.

C. They allow their students to use mobile Apps to study.

D. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class.

2. According to the text， Apps can help language learners ___ .

A. save much time and money

Remember the last time you spent some time alone？ And it doesnt include the time when you were sending a written message on your smart phone or checking out someones pictures on any social networking site.? Its hard， isnt it？

Man is a social animal， and of course we cannot live alone， but sometimes we just need a break from everything. And， that is surely not a bad thing.? In fact， spending some time alone can help you in many ways. For example， it creates chances for you to introspect （反?。? When you are alone， you can introspect， understand what you really want in life， be true to your feelings， and make decisions without being influenced by others.

Do you feel puzzled about what to do？ Its good to ask people for advice， but finally its going to be your decision. Take some time off， go for a long walk or a run， and youll find the answer youve been looking for.? More importantly， it will help you enjoy the little things that you never realized mattered.

When youre alone， you can do what you want to do as you wont be afraid of being judged by someone else. Actually， happiness starts with YOU， not with your relationships， your job， or your money， but only with you！

A. Is your mind caught up in a problem？

B. Just being alone， not lonely but alone.

C. And this will make you feel very happy.

D. It will be difficult for one person to be alone.

Father of World Wide Web

萬維網(wǎng)之父

Tim Berners Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web.

Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s， scientists were already using a primitive version of email. While working at a laboratory in Switzerland Tim Berners Lee wrote a programme which let him store these messages.

In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML programmes which form the basis of the World Wide Web.? The next year his programmes were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100，000.

In 1994 Tim Berners Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can participate equally on the Web.

蒂姆·伯納斯·李寫的軟件程序奠定了萬維網(wǎng)的基礎(chǔ)。

在發(fā)展第一代電腦中，英國發(fā)揮了重要作用。蒂姆·伯納斯·李的父母都為最早的商業(yè)電腦公司工作，他們常在家里談?wù)摴ぷ?。還是孩子的時(shí)候，蒂姆·伯納斯·李就會(huì)用材料建立計(jì)算機(jī)模型;從牛津大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，他就開始真正著手關(guān)于電腦方面的東西。在20世紀(jì)80年代，科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)使用了原始版本的電子郵件。當(dāng)在瑞士一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室工作時(shí)，蒂姆·伯納斯·李寫了一個(gè)程序，有了這個(gè)程序他就能保存這些消息。

1990年他寫的超文本傳送協(xié)議和超文本標(biāo)記語言的程序構(gòu)成了萬維網(wǎng)的基礎(chǔ)。第二年，他的程序被放置到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上，每個(gè)人都可以使用并能夠改善這些程序。程序員使用他的編碼在不同的操作系統(tǒng)上運(yùn)行。網(wǎng)頁瀏覽器和搜索引擎這類新事物被開發(fā)出來。在1991年到1994年，網(wǎng)頁數(shù)量從10個(gè)上升到10萬個(gè)。

1994年，蒂姆·伯納斯·李成立了新的世界萬維網(wǎng)聯(lián)盟協(xié)會(huì)或稱W3C。W3C代表200多家領(lǐng)先公司和實(shí)驗(yàn)室。他們共同確保每個(gè)人都能平等地參與網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

About Travelling

Travelling is a very good activity. When you are free， you can go to a beautiful place to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air， meet different people and make friends with them.

However， travelling is not always pleasant. The weather can be changeable. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold while travelling. Besides， you may have your money stolen.

Therefore， when going on a trip， you should have clear information about the weather and be very careful about where you go so as to avoid accidents. If you prepare yourself carefully， you will surely enjoy yourself.

Dear Tom，

Im glad to know that you will come to China to study as a homestay student in March next year. However， I am anxious about your trouble in choosing a suitable homestay because of limited knowledge of China. So I will offer some suggestions.

First of all， it is of great importance to ensure it is near your school in case of traffic jams during rush hours. Besides， it will be better to find a host family that can cover the charges for water and electricity. In addition， a well-educated host will be helpful for you to learn Chinese history and cultures. Last but not least， you should take the living and diet habits into consideration.

I do hope that you will find an ideal homestay as soon as possible.

We need to face many pains as we grow up. But these pains eventually bring us gains.

As for me， I remember that my parents made me learn to play the violin during my childhood， which annoyed me quite a lot. I hated violin at that time， because I had little time to play with my friends.

Now looking back， I appreciate what my parents did for me. In fact， music has enriched my life. It gives me comfort， relief and joy， especially when I am under pressure.

Everybody will experience pains. A little hard work and sweat will never hurt us. If we realize these pains are just small bumps on our road to success， we will understand they are actually gains.
