1. Happy Birthday, Thrstein Veblen, wh invented the expressin "cnspicuus（炫耀性） cnsumptin ".
Why d we buy? What drives us t get things we knw we dn't need and that we knw are bad fr the planet? Thrstein Veblen, brn n July 30th, 1857, discussed this in his 1899 bk The Thery f the Leisure Class, where he first wrte abut cnspicuus cnsumptin.
Accrding t a website named Cnspicuus Cnsumptin, the term refers t cnsumers wh buy expensive items t shw ff their wealth and incme rather than cver their real needs. Such a cnsumer shws such behavir t enjy r achieve higher scial status. The result, accrding t Veblen, is a sciety characterized by wasted time and mney.
There is als a type f gds called "Veblen gds", which really exist nly t shw the status f the persn buying them. Rlls﹣Ryce r fancy supercars are a gd example; a Lambrghini wn't get yu anywhere faster in a wrld with speed limits. A Patek﹣Philippe watch desn't keep time as accurately as a Timex.
Cnspicuus cnsumptin can lead t cnspicuus waste ﹣the ability t just thrw things away and buy replacements even when they wrk perfectly well. Thrugh "cnspicuus cnsumptin" ften came "cnspicuus waste", which Veblen hated. Much f mdern advertising is built upn a Veblenian idea f cnsumptin and cmpetitin.
Veblen als explains why pr peple wn't fight against cnspicuus cnsumptin. The pr, and all thse persns wh cncentrate n the struggle t make a living, are cnservative because they cannt affrd the effrt f taking thught fr the day after tmrrw.
Sme f Veblen's theries wuldn't find a place in tday's USA, but yu must be impressed by his mst famus saying: Inventin is the mther f necessity.
Happy 163rd Birthday, Thrstein Veblen!

2. In strm﹣ravaged Santa Clarita, Califrnia, last March, Margarit Martinez apprached Runner Rad slwly. A small stream had verflwed nt the rad. Martinez, driving a Tyta SUV, figured he'd be OK.
Halfway acrss, the rushing waters grabbed hld f his vehicle, sweeping it ff the rad and washing it dwn a rcky stream bed. It finally stpped a gd 80 feet away, when the water smehw lifted the SUV and landed it in the grund at a 45﹣degree angle. Injured, shaken, and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly and the dr seriusly damaged, Martinez was certain that he was ging t die.
On the rad right behind Martinez were a partly﹣rental delivery wrker and his niece. They watched the hrrr unfld, and when Martinez's SUV came t rest in the middle f the river, the man leaped t act. First, he grabbed heavy﹣duty rpes frm the back f his truck and fixed the SUV t nearby psts. Then he climbed atp Martinez's vehicle and struck n a rear windw with his fists.

3. Massive pen nline curses （MOOCs） are ________ nwadays, and althugh it's t sn t determine their final influence n the universities acrss the cuntry and the wrld, they are sparking ff a lively debate amng educatrs and students.
The first MOOC arrived n the scene back in 2011 when tw Stanfrd teachers ffered their artificial intelligence class nline fr free. Enrllment tpped 160, 000, and the unexpected success f the experiment encuraged ther schls.
Supprters believe making quality educatinal instructin available t the public will prvide higher quality and lwer cst fr many, and might easily be the best instructinal mdel fr the future. MOOCs can be attended by thusands r even hundreds f thusands f students at a time. In fact, Sebastian Thrun, ne f the Stanfrd teachers wh started it all, sees a day in which as few as 10 universities meet the wrld's higher educatin needs.
Where MOOCs may prvide quality instructin fr many, detractrs ften see that very fact as its biggest failing. MOOCs dn't ffer any individualized training, and sme educatrs feel using it as a fr﹣credit standard in the future will leave sme students behind. A cmmn argument is that individualized, face﹣t﹣face teaching wrks best in many cases. The lively exchange f ideas can activate a classrm.
Sme find ther aspects f MOOCs trubling. In the first MOOCs, plagiarism（剽窃）was a prblem and cmpletin rates n the whle were lw. This may have been because sme students were curius abut the frmat rather than fcused n the study.
Hw will MOOCs prgress in the future? N ne knws fr sure, but the mdern classrm may turn ut t be a cmbinatin f the ld and the new, with n﹣campus activities like labs, debates and nline activities wrking with massive nline fferings t prvide a special learning experience that's cst﹣effective and cnvenient.

C.Getting recgnitin.D.Causing arguments.．

（2）What's the advantage f MOOCs accrding t supprters？________
A.Students can get unique training.
B.The atmsphere can easily activate students.
C.It ffers an effective way t evaluate students.
D.Students can get high﹣quality educatin at a lw cst.．

（3）Hw will MOOCs advance in the authr's view？________
A.By increasing its enrllment rates.
B.By encuraging students' participatin.
C.By invlving mre experimental activities.
D.By cmbining n﹣campus and nline activities.．

（4）What can be the best title fr the text？________
A.When is MOOCs Get Nticed？
B.Hw can MOOCs Develp s Fast？

4. We all knw that cucks （杜鹃） use a mean way t raise their babies. The female cucks lay their eggs int ther parents' nests. If the cuck chick hatches earlier than ther eggs, it will push ther eggs nt its back, ne by ne, and make the eggs fall ut.
"It's amazing, " ntes Daniela Canestrari. She's a bilgist wh studies animal behavir at the University f Ovied in Spain. At first, she wasn't fcusing n brd parasitism（巢寄生）. She just wanted t learn abut crw behavir. But sme crw nests had been parasitized by sptted cucks. When the cuck eggs hatched, the chicks didn't push crw eggs ut f the nest. They grew up alngside crw chicks.
"At a certain pint, we nticed smething that really puzzled us, " Canestrari says. Nests cntaining a cuck chick seemed mre likely t succeed. By that she means that at least ne crw chick survived lng enugh t fly ut n its wn.
The researchers wndered if the reasn had smething t d with attackers. Wild cats smetimes attack crw nests, killing all the chicks. Are the cucks helpful in defending nests?
S the scientists fund crw nests cntaining a cuck chick. Meanwhile, they mved sme cucks t crw nests that weren't parasitized. Then the researchers mnitred whether the nests succeeded. They als watched nests that had never cntained a cuck chick.
Abut 70 percent f crw nests with added cuck chicks succeeded. This rate was similar t that f chicks in parasitized nests that kept their cucks. But amng nests whse cuck chicks were remved, nly abut 30 percent succeeded. And this rate was similar t what was seen in nests that never held a cuck.
"The presence f the cuck was causing this difference, " Canestrari cncluded. Then hw did the cucks slim dwn the attackers and prtect the crw nests? The researchers fund cucks prduced smelly liquid when they were in danger. The results shwed that the attackers all turned up their nses when they were expsed t the liquid﹣cated meat.

（1）What d we knw abut Daniela Canestrari's research n the cucks？________
A.It fcused n cucks' behavirs.
B.It brught an unexpected discvery.
C.It studied the relatinship between animals.
D.It changed her pinins n animal behavir.．

（2）Daniela Canestrari was puzzled because________.
A.cucks can successfully defeat wild cats
B.cucks lay eggs int ther parents' nests
C.nests parasitized by cucks are mre likely t succeed
D.crw chick usually survived lnger than cuck chick．

（3）Hw d the cucks defend against their natural enemies？________
A.By scaring them away.
B.By prducing a smelly liquid.
C.By making themselves wet.
D.By giving ff an unpleasant smell.．

（4）Where is the text prbably frm？________

The wrd "emji" cmes frm Japanese， literally meaning "picture character".（1）_______ They cme in different categries， such as faces and peple， plants and animals， and fd and drink.
When first intrduced in Japan in 1999， emjis were limited t 176 simple designs. Nw there are mre than 3，000 emjis. Due t their ppularity， the Oxfrd Dictinaries Wrd f the Year in 2015 was a pictgraph instead f a traditinal wrd.
In tday's wrld， emjis have becme mre and mre ppular.（2）_______ Peple like them because they add emtinal meanings， and are quick and easy t use. With a smiling r sad face added t a message r pst， yur reader can "see" yur facial expressin while reading yur wrds.
（3）_______Fr instance， if yur friend is mving acrss the cuntry， yu may just send them a string f crying faces t express yur sadness ver yur separatin.
（4）_______ A Shakespeare series fr yung readers has taken William Shakespeare's ppular plays and replaced sme wrds with textspeak and emjis. The intentin f these adaptatins is t make the classics mre accessible t yung readers. Sme peple， hwever， believe that these new versins have taken away the heart and sul f Shakespeare's plays.
As we can see， emjis have a tendency t pp up all ver the place. Users f emjis say that they facilitate the way we cmmunicate and express urselves. But this makes thers， especially educatrs， wrry that we are lsing the ability t cmmunicate prperly using the written wrd， r even the spken wrd. After all， hw many f us tday wuld rather send a message packed with emjis than make a telephne call？（5）_______On that day， emjis will have becme a real pictrial "language". But， fr nw， maybe it's best that we just enjy using them.
A.Maybe emjis' best days are ahead.
B.The mst ppular emjis are abslute classics.
C.The use f emjis has even spread t classical literature.
D.Perhaps peple will ne day chse t cmmunicate in pictures.
E.It seems that emjis have clear advantages ver written language.
F.Emjis are small symbls representing ideas， emtins r feelings.
G.Emjis can als help peple express their feelings when they can't find the apprpriate wrds.
