She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee, and I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didnt pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “You let that be the last time youve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mothers words sound simple, but its been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.Its not just something I believe in; its become a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble(卑微的) they may be.At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and asked him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”Ive become vice­president, but that hasnt changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mothers advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. Ive learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.1.What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?A.He talked with somebody else.B.He was attracted by a dog.C.He greeted him politely.D.He ignored him.2.What kind of person is the authors mother?A.Optimistic.B.Kind-hearted.C.Strict.D.Open-minded.3.How did the company founder reply to the author?A.He played a joke.B.He inspired him.C.He invited him to coffee.D.He gave him the seat.4.What does the author think of saying hello to people?A.It can build connections with others.B.Its a way to show sympathy to humble people.C.Its a must to become a president.D.It can bring him what he wants.（C）.People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce(农产品), but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking one.A trial run of the ugly food line, named Naturally Imperfect, began with only apples and potatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste,and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.It really went well beyond our expectation, Branson said. I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some choices.Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response(响应) to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more choices at a greater price to Canadian families.If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that wont look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,” said Branson. And nature doesnt grow everything perfectly. Id like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.1.Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that _.A.more fruits are offered at lower pricesB.normal-looking produce is not allowed thereC.imperfect produce is sold at lower prices thereD.only apples and potatoes are sold every day2.According to Paragraph 3, Loblawss program_.A.prevents people from wasting their foodB.happens to be a win-win modeC.teaches food producers how to grow foodD.enables consumers to eat more fresh produce3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.B.Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.C.Loblaws intends to improve customers quality of life.D.Customers support promotes the development of the ugly food line.4.What do Bransons words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.B.The world is usually full of imperfect things.C.Imperfect fruits are as tasty as perfect ones.D.The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.（D）.Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many childrens lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the reports key findings, the proportion (比例) who say they 4 hardly ever read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Childrens reading habits.B.Quality of childrens books.C.Childrens after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.2.Where can you find the data that best supports children are reading a lot less for fun?A.In Paragraph 2.B.In Paragraph 3.C.In Paragraph 4.D.In Paragraph 5.3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.E-books are of poor quality.B.It could be a waste of time.C.It may harm childrens health.D.E-readers are expensive.4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?A.Act as role models for them.B.Ask them to write book reports.C.Set up reading groups for them.D.Talk with their reading class teachers.（E）How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and StrongAre you new to experiencing relationships?
