●Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day---- half of the number doctors recommend.

I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that’s impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.
In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.
The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported(非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’t afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.
When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.
When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”
25. What does the author think of Chinese people?
A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work. B. He praises most Chinese people a lot.
C. He thinks most Chinese people are proud. D. He dislikes most Chinese people.
26. What are not cheap in China in the author’s opinion?
A. Clothes and shoes made in China. B. Public transportation tickets.
C. Imported foods . D. Local foods.
27. We can infer from the passage that the author thinks __________.
A. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US
B. China’s economic miracles have appeared everywhere
C. the westerners have got to know China well
D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China
C
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of theworld.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To advertise the cartoon
made by students.
29. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. He will cause the destruction of the world.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He might get separated from his friends and family.
D. His social skills could be affected.
30. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Opposed. D. Objective.
31. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone. B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Consequences of phubbing. D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.
Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council(评议会) in Washington, D.C., said. According to Holowka, building accounts for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(光板) which change the sun’s energy into electricity,”Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”
32. A green building means ________________________.
A. a building that uses no electricity B. a building occupying less land
C. a building that saves energy and water D. a green-colored building
33. A green building is often built on an area of land_________.
A. which has already been for buildings
B. which has thick forests around
C. where people of high income live
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
34. When Holowka says inthe last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings
__________.
A. will be more comfortable B. will become popular in future
C. will be more environmentally friendly D. will take the place of traditional buildings
35. Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.
B. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.
C. Green buildings help save the environment.
D. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.

How can I fight laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. 37 . Others take a more proactive(积极主动的) approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. 38 .
39 . Spouses(配偶)and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, set an example, be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. 40 , thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film
B. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep
D. Knowing how to fight laziness is important
E. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task
F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal
G. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle

Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China’s Hubei Province. Over 600 students there took part in a “caring for an egg like a baby” 61 (active), in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month 62 breaking it.
“It’s hard for parents to bring up their children， 63 many students just ignore it,” said Liu Kang, the school’s director. “They should 64 (teach) to be grateful to their parents, who have given them life but ask for nothing in return.”
Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn’t break during the month, but he felt 65 (exhaust). “I now realize that my parents have had great difficulty 66 (bring) me up. I’ll do all I can to make their life easier and more 67 (comfort) when I grow up,” promised the 13-year-old boy. 68 (luck), about 450 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said, “I can’t imagine 69 sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their ‘egg’!” It is time I 70 (do) something in return for their love.” said Yan.
