Stephen Hawking said, “Scientists have become the barters of the torch of discovery in our
search for knowledge.” Given below are some of them：
Head lie Taylor(July, 7,1833—March 22,1957)
Head lie Taylor was hardly educated but had a good mind. With hard work and creativity, he

A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modem manners and a
return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile
phone.
The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she
was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said, “I
don’t know what she was playing at. I couldn’t believe how rube she was. When did she have the
right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won’t be shopping here again!”
But users of social media sites and Internet forums(论坛) were very angry that store gave in
and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning
point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you.
That includes people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in
the stairs,” said a tropical post.
“It’s time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on their
phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It’s rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone’s
phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by”, said
another.
Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. Netmums. Com said, “while this checkout
operator doesn’t have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see
clearly how frustrated and angry she felt. No. matter how busy you are,, life is ricer when you and
those around you have good manners.”

Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not
to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to
college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on
to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but
without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other
cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have
valuable insights to share. Enriching our own, Education also makes us want to travel and interact
with various cultures, broadening our horizons.
When there’s a downturn(衰退)in the economy, those who attended college will be more
likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set.
The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as
you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar
backgrounds and tastes. It inseams a good education leads to excellent networking. Good
networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events
instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip,
having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
28. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to
A. have a chance to study B. keep gaining knowledge
C. become a more interesting person D. realize the importance of
knowledge
29. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?
A. Having a grater understanding of different cultures.
B. Being limited within the walls of a college.
C. Valuing our own culture much more.
D. Thinking differently from others.
30. By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?
A. A good education can improve your tastes.
B. A good education sometimes means nothing.
C. A good education means you will not lose your job.
D. A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sources of knowledge. B. Benefits of attending college.
C. The disadvantages of not being educated. D. The reason why some people think
college useless.
D
When parents discover their child has lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a
shock to find their little treasure is capable of such tricking. But new research has suggested
many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.
Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their child’s honesty
and this may break their ability to spot a lie.
The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children
get away with almost anything. They say that mothers and fathers suffer from a “truth bias” with
their own youngsters but when faced with lies from other people’s children, they have less
difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.
Dr. Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario, Canada. Said: “The close
relationship that parents share with their own children may be related to their lives. Parents’
truth bias may reflect a rigid and perhaps biased idea of their own children based on previous
experiences. This view may result in parents being less suspicious of their children and allowing
for their children to be able to successfully cheat them.”
Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more
believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is widely considered to be
a key part of the social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their
children start lying to them.
In their study, Dr, Evans and her colleagues filmed 118 children as they performed a test.
Then videos of those children were shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16 years old, 80 of
whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were
less able to spot lies told by their own children. However, they were better at finding truths than
parents whose children hadn’t taken part in the test.
32. Why do parents have difficulty finding their children’
A. Parents are too trusting of their children.
B. Children know how to exam their parents’ trust.
C. Parents may establish no close relationship with children.
D. Children don’t communicate with parents about everything.
33. What does the underlined word “suspicious” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Conceded. B. Skeptical. C. Realistic. D. Sure.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Children aged 8 to 16 years old tend to lie more.
B. Parents having no child enjoy an advantage in telling lies.
C. 80 percent of children may lie to their parents in daily life.
D. Parents are better at telling truths rather than lies from their children
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Should children tell lies to their parents?
B. Why parents fail to tell their children’s lies?
C. Can parents tell whether their children are lying or not?
D. What should parents do when their children lie to them?

People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we? 36
The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years. But we humans are driven by the same basic
needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved.
37 No, In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a
human effort for freedom and communication. To be able to get in control of the time and world.
Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.
But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two
reasons; First, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and
to pass on to the next generation. 38
How about the virtual worlds? It might be in the future to experience the sand between
your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. 39 So, even if a great
invention is there for an affordable price, it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it
is not real.
40 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition(过渡) from an oil-dependent
society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine, continued expiration of space, challenges
in the climate change. And new inventions that make life a little easier.
A. So what will the future look like then?
B. Will this change in the next 150 years?
C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways.
D. However, you’ll never get the feeling of being there.
E. Well ,to understand the future, you must know the past.
F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn’t happen for real.
G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best
result in the future.

The way people lead their lives nowadays never fails to surprise me. While people in the
past used to solve their own problems, there is no shortage 61. advice about anything
you care to think of. As a result, people almost seem to have stopped thinking for themselves. I
suffer a little from 62. (forgetful). When some friends notice 63. , they want to
ignore my independence and offer me advice. “I 64. (tell) you how you can improve your
memory,” they say, and they start their advice. I just stand or sit there, 65. (listen)
like some kid being lectured to by an adult.
In fact, I am always a little suspicious about people who are so 66. (enthusiasm) to
give advice to others. I wonder first of all what they want, and then wonder 67. they are
so eager to accept advice themselves.
Advice which 68. (give) without being asked for is called “unsolicited advice” in
English, namely “not requested advice.”
And the less you ask friends for advice, the 69. (likely) you are to get it. It would be
70. (absolute) fascinating to find out how much damage unsolicited advice has done in
our modern world.
