24、   When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button? You hope by pushing it, the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake（假的）?

Karen Penafiel is the executive director（执行董事）of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.

In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act（《美国残疾人法案》）was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled（残疾的）people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys.

But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists（心理学家）, fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.

For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）. People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.

You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.

However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.

John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New YorkTimes that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work?”

【1】You push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.

A.close immediately B.not be completely open

C.play a trick on you D.not close as fast as you wish

【2】The US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________.

A.elevator workers will press the “open” button for them

B.they will be given a special key to use in the elevators

C.all elevators are designed to open long enough

D.no “close” button is fixed on the elevators

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake?

A.Thermostat buttons. B.Elevator buttons.

C.Traffic light buttons. D.Power buttons.

【4】There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.

A.control people’s senses B.help people feel better

C.control the temperature D.tell “white lies”

【5】The underlined words “on the off chance” in the last paragraph most probably mean “______”.

A.with the little hope B.without any plan

C.with a great opportunity D.without any possibility

【6】The best title for the passage is ________.

A.Button pushing society B.Useless buttons

C.Buttons for disabled people D.Fake elevator buttons

26、Have you ever run into a careless mobile 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(物种)” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name˗˗˗˗phubbers.

Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight(聚光灯). In the short film, phubbers with different social identities always put themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his mobile phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍照) in front of a car accident site(场地), and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.

Although the ending sounds overstated(夸张）, the damage(损害）that phubbing can bring is real.

Your health is the first to bear(承受) the effect and result of it. “Constantly(不断地)  bending(使弯曲) your head to check your telephone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted(引述) doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching(伸展).” Also, staring(盯着) at telephones 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(团聚）with family or friends, many people tend to stare at their telephones 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 telephones in broad daylight.

【1】What does the underlined word phubbers mean in Chinese?  _________.

A. 低头族   B. 打工族   C. 月光族   D. 啃老族

【2】For what purpose does the author(作者) give the example of a cartoon in Para.2?  _____.

A. To warn doctors against using telephones while treating patients

B. To show the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers

C. To advertise the cartoon made by students

D. To tell people the bad influence of phubbing

【3】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?  _________.

A. He might get divided from his friends and family

B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed

C. He will cause the destruction of the world

D. His social skills could be influenced

【4】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude（态度) towards phubbing?  _________.

A. Supportive   B. Against   C. Active   D. Favorable

【5】What may the passage talk about next?  _________.

A. Advice on how to use a telephone   B. Ways to reduce(减少) the risks of phubbing

C. Results of phubbing   D. People are crazy about phubbing

27、The Secret

We have a secret, just we three,

The robin (知更鸟), and I, and the sweet cherry (樱桃) tree;

The bird told the tree, and the tree told me,

And nobody knows it but just us three.

But of course the robin knows it best,

But if the tree and the robin don’t peep (出声),

I’ll try my best the secret to keep;

Though I know when the little birds fly about,

Then the whole secret will be out.

Christmas means different things to different people. To some people, it means bright packages under a Christmas tree. To others. it means family get together to have a wonderful meal. To Christians. it means Jesus's birthday. Christmas also means giving a helping hand to people in need. Although people are busy s 【1】 for presents and sending Christmas cards, they take time to help others.

  In America and around the world, Christmas offers many chances to spread "peace on earth, goodwill toward men". For example, some people stand outside malls and stores collecting m 【2】  for the needy. Many churches and other organizations collect toys and clothes as Christmas gifts for poor families. Going caroling （唱圣诞颂歌) is another traditional way to bring cheer to neighbors--e  【3】  the elderly and people who can't get out much. The Christmas spirit encourages people to help each other in  many different ways.

The spirit of helping others isn't l 【4】  to Christmas. However. People help others year-round. Many organizations like The Make a Wish Foundation exist just to help others. It gives dying children a chance to have their dream come true. Thousands of people spend their time serving as v 【5】  in hospitals, homeless shelters and schools. As the old saying goes, "Charity begins at home"-but it doesn't s 【6】 there. Americans are keen on helping needy people in other countries. as well. Many American organizations reach out to suffering people in other countries. For a certain amount per month, people can provide needy children with food, clothing and education.

  As long as there are people in need, helping others will remain an important task. Americans are not the only ones who believe in helping others. People in every culture recognize that being h 【7】   is one of the greatest virtues(美德)in life. as well as one of the sweetest joys. The Christmas season is a great time to renew our promise to help people in need. We never know when we might need a little help.

29、   At first, Rhonda Tormaschy thought her 16-year- old daughter, Cassidy, was joking about opening up an ice cream truck. “We were sitting around one night with her and one of her friends, and this is what she approached us with and we thought she wasn’t ___________ at first.” Rhonda said.
