26、In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.
If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.
【1】Why do people in England often talk about the weather?
A. Because they may have four seasons in one day

27、When something has meaning, it has a purpose. Similarly, a life that has meaning feels purposeful and important. 【1】 Adding meaning to life is not an exact science, but it is possible to develop a meaningful life for yourself if you are willing to put some time and consideration into the process.
Figure out what is important to you. Make a list of five things that are important to you, then consider whether the way you are living your life has something to do with these things.【2】 If "creativity" is at the top of your list, but you work as an accountant, you may want to think about a job change, or find ways to add creativity into your life (like taking a painting class, writing in your free time, etc.).
【3】 Think about something you have always wanted to do. Maybe you want to get into the habit of running, or maybe you want to write a novel. No matter what it is, struggling to complete this dream will help you feel purposeful.
Pay attention to the things for which you are grateful. It may sound ridiculous, but taking the time to write down or at least notice things you are grateful for can be helpful. Expressing thanks for what you have can help you refocus and connect with the world around you.【4】
Seek help. Sometimes, we may get very caught up in our own thoughts, which can make it difficult to find solutions. If you are having a difficult time, you can talk with a trusted friend or family member.【5】

28、Gender Stereotypes Are Messing with Your Kid
Gender stereotypes are messing with your kid. It’s not just one movie. It’s not just one TV show. 【1】For example, boys are smarter than girls, or certain jobs are best for men and others for women.
According to a recent report, which analyzed more than 150 articles, interviews, books, and other social-scientific research, gender stereotypes in movies and on TV shows are more than persistent. 【2】Think of preschoolers who are just beginning to identify as boys or girls. The characters they see on TV often have an obvious masculine or feminine appearance, such as a superhero’s big muscles or a princess’ long hair. These characteristics also are often associated with specific traits — for example, being strong and brave or fearful and meek (温顺的). 【3】That “strong and brave” superhero becomes aggressive and violent. That “fearful and meek” princess become submissive and weak. According to the report, a lifetime of viewing stereotypical media becomes so deep-rooted that it can ultimately affect kids’ career choices, self-worth, relationships, and ability to achieve their full potential.
【4】 We polled (调查) nearly 1,000 parents across the country and found that they believe the media has a significant influence on their kids, from how girls should look and behave to how seeing violence can affect boys’ beliefs about themselves. Luckily, parents can bring the messages Hollywood delivers under control. Let’s face it: Exaggerating the differences between boys ana girls is not what we really want our kids to imitate.
While there are movies and TV shows that reject gender stereotypes—and Hollywood is making some progress on this front—you’re not going to be able to prevent your kids from seeing everything that sends the wrong message. And your kids probably like a lot of media that reinforces stereotypes. 【5】When you actively role-model gender equality, speak out against stereotypes, and challenge outdated ideas, kids will hear that loud and clear.
A.And lots of parent are concerned about these issues, too.
B.You have a lot of control over your kids’ media—mostly when they’re little, but even as they grow.
C.They’re incredibly effective at teaching kids what the culture expects of boys and girls.
D.Self-segregate is based on gender -- boys want to play with boys, and girls want to play with girls.
E.Fortunately, the most powerful messages kids absorb are from you.
F.Fast-forward to the tween and teen years, when characters begin to fight with relationships, life, and job prospects (前景).
G.It’s constant exposure to the same dated concepts.
29、How important has Internet become in our lives? The Pew Research Center conducted a survey to celebrate the Web’s 25th birthday. The researchers were greatly heartened by what they found.
“In 2006, only 14 percent of American adults used Internet. Today, it’s 87 percent,” said Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project. “It is what has impressed us the most.”
The survey also showed that 70 percent of the Internet users have been treated kindly or generously online, while 25 percent of respondents said they have been treated unkindly. More than half—56 percent—of users said they’ve seen an online community come together to help someone solve a problem. 25 percent said they’ve left an online group because members were too unpleasant.
When Pew asked questions about whether being online has enriched people’s relationships—or not—the results were very positive: 67 percent of Internet users said their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. Only 18 percent said it has generally weakened those relationships.
According to the survey, 53 percent of Internet users said Internet has become the hardest tech tool to give up. It is 15 percent higher than the result of a similar survey conducted in 2006. In fact, more people said they would have a harder time stopping using Internet than giving up TV. (These days, so much great television streams across the Internet that it makes sense.)
“In our survey, we have found that the Web makes a few people very unhappy. There’s strong evidence pointing to the fact that Internet users tend to compare their daily lives with the ‘highlight moments’ of their friends’ lives,” said Lee Rainie. “It’s really silly.”
【1】Which is the most impressive result of the latest survey?
A.Users’ dependence on Internet.
B.The fast growth of Internet users.
C.The kindness of online communities.
D.The strengthened family relationships.
【2】How many participants found it the hardest to give up Internet in 2006?
A.15%.
B.38%.
C.53%.
D.68%.
【3】What message does Lee Rainie seem to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Online depression cannot be avoided.
B.Don’t show off in online communities.
C.Don’t make unnecessary comparison.
D.Copy your friends’ wonderful lifestyles.
【4】How do the researchers feel about the results of the survey?
A.Optimistic.
B.Worried.
C.Unconcerned.
D.Doubtful.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行第二自然段续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Andy, a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.
As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.
The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.
It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.
“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir?” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!
Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.
Paragraph 1:
The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight.” Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring,” she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years.” I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you,” she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.
