My wife's birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. "Has Lily called?" she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum's birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, "Your mum didn't sleep well last night."
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. "Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!" she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, "You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don't you know it is cold outside?"
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child's growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: "How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?"

For centuries, human beings have dreamed of travelling into space, orbiting our little blue planet. It seems that our dream will finally come true, as US startup Orion Span announced in early April that it planned to launch the first hotel in space in 2021. It will be ready to welcome guests the following year.
The space hotel, Aurora Station, will orbit 200 miles above Earth, circling it every 90 minutes. It can house two crew members and four guests. The crew members will likely be former NASA astronauts who worked on the International Space Station. However, there's a catch: Each guest must pay at least $9.5 million for a 12-day stay at the hotel.
Guests can do many exciting things there. According to Orion Span, guests can enjoy the excitement of zero gravity as they fly throughout the space hotel. They can watch 16 sunrises and sunsets every day and view the northern and southern auroras (极光) through the many windows. They can take part in research experiments like growing food, and even take it home as a souvenir.
But most importantly, the trip will offer a real sense of what it's like to live in space. "The premise (前提) of Aurora Station is for guests to live, feel, and breathe what it's like to be an astronaut," Frank Bunger, CEO of Orion Span, told the Robb Report. "The food and drinks are freeze-dried products. It's not going to be five-star dining... Fire and gas don't work the same way in space as they do on Earth."
To better prepare guests for space travel, the company will require a health screening and provide a three-month training program that helps guests understand basic space flight, orbital mechanics and life in the pressurized environment of space.
"Future Aurora owners can live in, visit, or sublease (转租) their space apartment," Bunger said in a news release. "This is an exciting frontier and Orion Span is proud to pave the way."
28.What can we learn about Aurora Station?
A. It will be open to guests in 2021.
B. It can serve four guests at a time.
C. It costs every guest $9.5 million a week.
D. It will invite NASA to train the guests.
29.What can guests do on Aurora Station?
A. View beautiful auroras. B. Fly outside the space hotel.
C. Buy various souvenirs. D. Enjoy five-star meals.
30.According to Bunger, what is the main function of Aurora Station?
A. To help people know the bravery of astronauts.
B. To tell the difference between Earth and space.
C. To provide real experiences of living in space.
D. To prepare people for future space exploration.
31.What's the best title for the text?
A. A Satellite Orbiting the Earth
B. A Space Hotel—Aurora Station
C. Aurora Station: a New Living Place for Man
D. A New Hotel That Brings People Great Benefits
D
With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital. To reflect this trend, many mobile budgeting apps for children has sprung up worldwide: GoHenry, Osper and Gimi to name a few. These apps offer a simple money management service for children, often for a monthly subscription (订购) fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children's accounts, set limits and monitor transactions, while children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card that works like a debit card (借记卡). The apps suggest minimum ages ranging from six to nine for the prepaid card.
Two thirds of adults globally are financially illiterate (无知的), and one in four teenagers are unable to make even simple decisions on everyday spending. These apps claim to teach children financial concepts, such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For instance, the Swedish app Gimi has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money; parents can pay children interest as they save; and there is a chores' feature, where parents can pay children for completing household tasks.
"Cash was the best way to teach financial literacy because it's so tangible (有形的) and so easy to grasp," Philip Haglund, CEO of Gimi, says. "Now money is being transferred through some kind of cyberspace, which is really abstract and hard for anyone to understand."
Haglund believes the app can teach responsible spending habits, whereas schools tend to focus more on economic theory. "You don't become better at money management just because you have a degree in economics. It's more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents' money when you're six to 12 years old," he says.
One concern is that introducing digital money apps to young children could help to encourage irresponsible spending habits.
"If children don't have a good foundation in financial capability, there's a risk that money apps could be seen as just another game," says Winter. "There's a risk that they won't learn about the real value of money and might develop bad money habits."
However, Haglund says children are protected from this as parents can monitor their spending habits and none of the services offer an overdraft (透支) so children cannot go into debt.
Plus, it is important for kids to learn and make mistakes, says Guichard. "We want to help kids and teenagers gain financial skills for life, and the earlier you do that the better, because if you're going to make a mistake of £ 10 at eight, it's better than making a mistake of £ 1,000 when you're 28," he says.
32.The appearance of mobile budgeting apps is mainly due to ______.
A. digital money B. the convenience
C. the popularity for children D. the amount of children's savings
33.As children's parents, which of the following factors will let you recommend the app Gimi to your children?
A. Digital savings money-box. B. Savings interest.
C. Developing spending habits. D. Simple money management.
34.The supporters of mobile budgeting apps for children would agree that ______.
A. children will become better at money management only if they have a degree in economics
B. money apps will be seen as a game helping children lay a good foundation in financial capability
C. money is now so intangible that money apps are needed for kids to acquire financial knowledge
D. children will gain financial skills with money apps, thus avoiding financial mistakes
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To advocate living a money-wise life.
B. To introduce the Swedish app Gimi.
C. To warn people of apps' potential risks.
D. To show that pocket money is moving digital.

Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardo's time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. (36)
Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. (37)
Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. (38) More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that "without them nothing can be done."
"Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy," wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas. (39) His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
(40) His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.
A. Leonardo was always drawing.
B. How could these be connected with art?
C. Leonardo's ideas were vastly ahead of his time.
D. Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
E. Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F. You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.
G. Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Today I feel honored to have this chance to deliver a speech about the most respected scientist in my heart.
The scientist I admire most is Yuan Longping, who is known as "father of hybrid rice". Ever since graduation, he has devoted his life to increasing rice production in China and spreading his technology to other countries to feed more people.
As Dr. Yuan says, chance favors the prepared mind. From him I have learned the spirit of devotion and exploration. I decide to be a person like him.
Thank you all for listening!
第二节参考范文
The next morning, when Tom walked into the office, Mr. Bates came up to him. Confident that no one knew his little trick, Tom greeted Mr. Bates as usual. "How is your mother?" Mr. Bates asked. There was something awful in his voice, but Tom try to keep calm. "Oh, she is a little better. Thank you." Tom said, trying to hide his anxiety. "Go home." Mr. Bates said, "Don't come to this office again. Hearing the words, Tom was confused, unable to figure out why. Without saying anything, Mr. Bates pointed to the wall behind him.
Turning around, Tom saw a new television on the wall. "You had a very good ticket, didn't you? You were right in front of all the people, weren't you?" asked Mr. Bates, coldly. His words sent a chill down Tom's spine. It suddenly dawned on him that Mr. Bates had brought this television in yesterday afternoon so that everyone could see the big match in the office. Thanks to the very good ticket, everyone could see him on TV. Feeling regretful and ashamed, Tom finally understood the old saying: Honesty is always the best policy.
