My father went to high school in the 1960s. Like his 38 before him, he acted in high school. He, too,stayed in touch with his drama teacher for the rest of the teacher's 39 I graduated in 1997. When Hoover, my drama teacher, was 40 in Alaska, I didn't want her to feel like she was ending her life 41 , so I sent her many packages, including Drama Club yearbook photos from each year she 42 there in order that she could see the students whose lives she forever 43 .

Her nickname for our group of Drama Club was "the Throwaway Kids". 44 , no? She described us as that 45 we were nonconformists (不墨守成规者) that other teachers didn't 46 know what to do with. She simply 47 us for who we are, and that was exactly what we needed.

We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.

That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.

One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.

Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.

Another, well—known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn ; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or somethin g to drink.

Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.

We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You ar e reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.

We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.

61.Where can you find this passage?

A. In a medicine dictionary. B. in a kids’ story book.

C . In a social science book. D. In a science textbook.

62.According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?

A. disturbed. B. bored. C. ignored. D. relaxed.

63.A “rubber neck” often __________________ .

A. says bad words behind people. B. quarrels face to face with neighbors.

C. bargains with salespeople over the price D. asks about other people’s business

64.Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?

A. Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.

B. Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.

C. Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.

D. Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.

65.What is the main purpose of the author?

A. To tell people what might be bad manners in public.

B. To criticize (批评) the people who might be a “pain in the neck”

C. To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”.

D. To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.

C

It’s really a tough job for automakers doing marketing and sales in China, where competition is acute and customers have little loyalty. They have tried a range of tricks in recent years.

But there should be a moral bottom line. Unfortunately, a Buick dealership used the tragedy of a two-month-old infant to advertise its cars last week on Weibo – Micro blog. And Hyundai Motor followed suit.

On March 4, an SUV was stolen with the infant left inside alone in the northeastern city of Changchun. The news spread widely on Weibo after the baby’s father called the local police and radio station for help. The next day it was revealed that the infant was choked to death and buried in snow by the thief. The online community expressed its deeply felt sympathy and condolences.

The Buick dealership posted a photo of the baby and two of its cars on its official Weibo account to advertise its GPS system that can locate the stolen car. “A few thoughts on the Changchun stolen car and baby incident: when buying a car it’s entir ely OK to choose a brand with advanced technology,” said the post. Though the post was made before tragic fate of the infant was known, the action generated a storm of outrage(义愤;愤慨) on Weibo. Some online commentators said it is “marketing at the cost of lives” and “extremely despicable.”

Worse was the post on Hyundai’s official Weibo account that advertised the anti – theft system on its new SUV Santa Fe, an entry made after the child was known to have died. The action also enraged micro bloggers.

Both posts were soon deleted. The Buick dealership made an apology on Weibo to the family of the victim and the public. But screenshots saved by users continued to be posted and the negative impact on both brands persists.

The two brands probably didn’t expect such a firestorm of fury from the Internet community, but they really made a big mistake sinking below the moral bottom line. They certainly ruined their own brand images.

The Chinese have the same proverb as the English language – a little leak will sink a great ship. It takes decades to build the great ship of a respectable brand but it can take just a moment of negligence to make it fail completely.

For those in corporate marketing, two lessons should be learned: first, be careful in the era of social media when one wrong can be easily magnified and have disastrous impacts in just a few clicks.

Second and more importantly, think with your brain and heart. Never break the moral bonds of respect for human life and sympathy for our fellow man.

66. Who is to blame for the tragedy of Changchun infant according to the passage?

A. The baby’s father B. Buick and Hyundai dealership C. Weibo D. Not clear

67. Which of the following statements is correct?

A. The missing infant was found alive in the stolen car.

B. Micro blog marketing of tragic infant death fuels firestorm of criticism.

C. People can’t see the two posts any more because they were deleted.

D. The two car brands mentioned in the passage spoiled their own reputation by selling the stolen car.

68. What does the underlined word – “despicable” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Immoral B. Important C. Distinguished D. Considerable

69. The reason why Hyundai’s post was worse than Buick’s is that _________.

A. Hyundai dealership didn’t make an apology on Weibo

B. Buick dealership expressed its deeply sympathy and condolences

C. Hyundai’s post was made after people knew the infant had died

D. Buick’s car was more advanced on its GPS system

70. In the last paragraph, the author encourages people _____________.

A. not to sink below the moral bottom line B. not to sympathize our fellow man

C. to think twice before making decision D. to magnify the mistakes people make

D

Hence, minimalism. And why does minimalism bring happiness? That was a bit of a roundabout way of saying that, it’s because what really makes me happy is freedom. And the key to freedom is minimalism because minimalism reduces our attachment to things.

Attachment to too many objects creates a great mess and can severely hold back our freedom to do whatever we want, while minimalism helps us start new projects, move, travel, learn new things, work, expand, be debt-free, be healthy – really living life to our full potential.

I left the nest to fly onwards and upwards, I can’t do it with old things weighing me down. And that is why I have adopted minimalism with open arms.

71. In paragraph l, the writer gives the definition of minimalism to .

A. introduce a topic B. present his own idea

C. describe a scene D. offer an argument

72. Many people don’t want to let go of some of their belongings because .

A. they haven’t had any life-changing experiences

B. they fear their memories will be gone with the thrown-away stuff

C. they hope to live life to their full potential by storing things away

D. they may have to change their lifestyle because of the loss of them

73. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the writer favors “minimalism” in life?

A. It takes the burden off her while she is moving.

B. It reduces her attachment to her personal things.

C. It enables her to gain the freedom that she desires.

D. It helps her to realize how true life is.

74. By saying “there are exceptions”, the writer means

A. little is left if we keep what we cherish most in our life

B. minimalism should be practised accordingly in different situations

C. minimalism is a method difficult to employ in reality

D. life is full of exceptions so it’s difficult to preserve what we value
