24、Every day, one in five parents in the UK share a photo of their children on social media (社交媒体). It is a great way for friends and family to keep up to date with each other’s lives, some people think that children should have a say in whether pictures of themselves are posted online. So who can decide whether photos should be posted online or not?

Some people think parents should always ask first. Parents may do this for good, but anything posted online may remain there forever. These may be seen by people who the children don’t want to share their childhood with. Children should have control of their own photos. Even if the parent thinks it is a nice picture, the children may not agree. Also, they may not want their friends to know what they have been doing in the holidays or who they are spending time with.

For those who hold an opposite opinion, parents are able to decide what is best for their children. They share photos with people they know and trust. Social media is a great way to keep in touch with people and find out what family and friends are up to. Parents know how to set the right privacy settings to make sure the photos are only seen by friends and family. Besides, it is important that children’s real names and the location are hidden. Parents also select photos that won’t be awkward to the children because almost every child prefers to leave a good impression on others. It’s a great way to make memories, too. Since most people don’t keep printed photos in albums, social media is the perfect place to store them instead.

【1】Why don’t children want their photos to be shared by parents online?

A．Children disagree to share the photos with all the friends.

B．Children dislike to share their holidays with their friends.

C．Parents don’t show the real names of their children online.

D．Parents don’t know how to print the online photos in albums.

【2】What does the underlined “awkward” probably mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Embarrassing.

B．Amazing.

C．Boring.

D．Pleasing.

【3】When may students allow parents to post the photos of them according to the passage?

A．When their personal information is protected.

B．When all the family members are in the photos.

C．When the photos are easy to draw others’ attention.

D．When every friend of the parents’ can see the photos.

【4】What is this passage about?

A．Teaching parents how to post photos online.

B．Making the children understand their parents.

C．Discussing who has the final say about photos posting online.

D．Talking about the problems between parents and their children.

26、My morning started out as usual. I snoozed(打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment.

By the time I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant — Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito(墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.

Since it was a little before noon, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was paying at the register(柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused, because she said, ‘I got you.’ She continued to pay for both of our meals — even though we were strangers.

I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise.

Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected on her kindness.

Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind – and did not want to receive anything in return.

As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life, and the ripple effect(连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about — being kind — even to a stranger.

C．dbace

D．dabec

【2】What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” mean in Paragraph4 mean?

A．Paying for something before buying it.

B．Asking others to pay for you and not paying back.

C．Paying for something but forgetting to take it away.

D．Paying back someone’s kindness by doing something kind.

【3】The writer has decided to _______.

A．find someone else to pay for her dinner

B．do the similar thing and brighten someone else’s life

C．continue doing research on the ripple effect

D．find the person who bought Marcella’s lunch

【4】What is the writer trying to teach us through this story?

A．Don’t break your promises.

B．Don’t refuse others’ kindness.

C．Be busy and work hard each day.

D．Be kind to others, even to strangers.

Mc Dangerous Food

This is not the first time that McDonald’s has let Chinese customers down. According to a CCTV program on World Consumer Rights Day (消费者权益保护日) on March 15, a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing sold chicken wings 90 minutes after they were c【2】. The company’s rules set a 30-minute limit. What’s more, some workers changed desserts’ expiration dates (保质期) or e【3】 put them into a new bag or box to sell them again.

McDonald’s China wrote a l【4】 of apology on their official micro blog (微博) soon after the program. “McDonald’s China pays great attention to this.

It was 8:30 and I was lying in the sun, listening to my CD.

Then my mum came out. She wanted me to go out with her. She told me about this place called Give Kids the World. It's a special place for ____ to spend a holiday when a child had a serious illness.

We____ the first house and I knocked on the door and shouted, “Gift Giving", and a woman answered it. Sitting in the middle of the living room was a boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gifts, and he became very happy. I walked out and thought, "That must be painful, unable to jump around.”
