20.Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping,according to a study published last week in the US.
For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women,but during the 2014holiday season,58percent of those making online purchases were women.
"It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming",said Lee Rainie,director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project Group,which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men.This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time.Internet users between the ages of 18and 29were responsible for some of the most dramatic(顯著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However,three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2014.They worried about credit card security,or just compared online prices with off-line prices,then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
"But even if shoppers don't buy online,websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,"said Dan Hess,vice president of Comscore Networks Inc.Hess said that actually most stores'websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers.And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
"It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient,more reliable and more comfortable,"Hess said.
24.What can we know from the passage?D
A.People,except young,don't like to do gift-shopping online
B.American people only buy gifts in holidays.
C.Shopping off-line provides better service.
D  People like to do gift-shopping online.
25.According to Dan Hess,shopping onlineD.
A.is unsafe
B.is a waste of time  
C.is cheaper  
D.is convenient
26.From the passage we can infer thatB.
A.men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B..women usually decide what to buy in the family
C.the Internet is used in all the shops
D.more and more shops will sell their goods online.
27.Which of the following statements is true?C
A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2014.
B.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
C.More women shopped online than men in 2014.
D.Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18and 29are women.

12.The more you give to others,the more you reap yourself.When you share what you know,you will find that you grow according to the number of seeds that you sow.Such is the one secret to be happier in life.
Spread cheer and teach others to do the same.People will gather around you to hear your wisdom,and feel your love.They will come to receive your sharing of what is inside you,all around you,and the messages coming from above.
Life is all about giving back.It is not about heartache or lack.Count your blessings every day.Put them in a stack that grows higher and higher,till it sets your spirit on fire with joy!
Life is good when you stand up for what you believe.When you enrich the world with your truth,then you will receive all that is good and wonderful.All that is grand will come to you,too.All it takes is living from your heart to understand how the cycle of giving and receiving works.Ah yes!You will discover endless perks!
For many people today,especially women who are socialized to give of themselves,and told they are selfish if they want to do something for themselves,the cycle of giving and receiving gets blocked.When a person gives and does not receive,then the energy flow gets cut off.
Every person must receive,as well as give.Nature intended for that balance in creating that particular flow.Now why would that giving and receiving be a natural law?Because all people need to open themselves to receiving.In receiving you tell yourself you are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.

28.According to this passage,the author wants to tell usD.
A.Giving is more important than receiving
B.Receiving is more important than giving
C.Women need more receiving than giving
D.Giving and receiving is a natural law,and both are important
29.If you want to be popular with the people all around you,what should you do?D
A.Giving them whatever they want to get.
B.Dancing to the music to amuse them.
C.Sharing whatever you have with them.
D.Spreading cheer and teach others to do the same.
30.For the women who are giving,which sentence is right?C
A.They don't need receive or praise.
B.They are selfish if they want to do something for themselves.
C.They need receiving to encourage their energy to continue giving.
D.They can't understand the secret to be  happier in life.
31.The reason why receiving is important is thatD.
A.we living together is to receive our possessions.
B.life is all about giving back not receiving from others.
C.the more you give to others,the more you reap yourself.
D.you are worthy and deserving of what life has to offer.

9.All over the world,children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine:laughter.Lucy is 23and works for Theodora Children's Trust.She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children.
"I'm a Theodora clown doctor.I call myself Dr Looloo.I spend two days a week in children's hospitals,making funny faces,telling jokes,and doing magic tricks.As I walk into the wards I blow bubbles,shake hands with the kids,and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing.I take special balloons to make‘balloon animals'and tell funny stories about them.
I'm naturally a very cheerful person.I've always been a clown.In fact my father's a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old.I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it is a great way to cheer up sick,frightened children in hospital.
Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally.We have to learn not to show our feelings,otherwise we'd be useless.Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see.To the children we're happy all the time.I'm still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally.There are special kids you get really close to.At the moment I'm working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English,so our only common language is laughter.
At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children's Trust.It's a charity so we are paid with the money people give.Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small.All in all,I feel honoured to do this job."

32.Lucy works as a clown doctor becauseC.
A.her father is a clown            
B.she has been a clown since she was eight
C.laughter is a great help to sick children  
D.working in hospital brings her extra money
33.What do clown doctors usually do in hospital?B
A.Teach kids how to speak English.
B.Cheer kids up with funny stories.
C.Join in activities to raise money.
D.Develop kids'sense of humour.
34.Lucy thinks that being a clown doctor isA.
A.a(chǎn)n honourable and meaningful practice    
B.a(chǎn)n interesting job to make a living
C.a(chǎn) good way of getting rid of her worries   
D.a(chǎn)n experience of great fun
35.The best of the passage may beC.

B.Patient and clown
C.Clown doctor

10.Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States.Lately,however,people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country!Usually considered shy and seldom seen,these lions are becoming more noticeable.In addition,the lions appear to be moving east.They were even reported in the suburbs of Boston,Philadelphia,and Chicago.
It seems certain that these"kings of the mountains"are moving.Why?Scientists are not sure.Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west,younger wild cats are leaving the area.These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
"The young males are looking for new homes,"says Lynn Sadler,who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif."People tend to create too many barriers,such as buildings,fences,roads,and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources,these barriers get in their way."
The sightings have made people increasingly watchful.Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats.But at least a few of the meetings have been real.The building of new roads,t he growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoo r activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion,an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats:Never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
"To be fair,"says the expert,"mountain lions are trying to regain their homes.They were here first.Now we need to find ways we can live together."
28.Mountain lions are moving probably becauseC.
A.the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet
B.more roads are being built into the mountains
C.the number of the lions increases in the west
D.young lions are seeking new partners
29 According to the passage,it is clear thatB.
A.the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved
B.people walking in the country may come across a lion
C.fences have been built to protect the lions
D.mountain lions prefer populated areas
30.To avoid attracting mountain lions,people are advisedB.
A.to build more roads for the lions to move safely
B.to keep a close watch on their farm animals
C.not to stay outdoors
D.not to raise pets
31.Which is the best title for the passage?A
A.Mountain Lions in Unlikely Places
B.Measures Taken to Avoid Lions
C.Number of Sightings Going Up
D.Mountain Lions Moving West、
