My son Aaron is 8. It’s been 8 birthdays and 9 Christmases of “What can we get, Aaron?” without proper toys along the way. He is just simply particular about toys. I can honestly tell you, I am printing this list, and heading to a couple of stores (some online) that I can get some of these items! Maybe this won’t be such a depressing Christmas.

One single mother’s creative manner of making her son not feel hurt from a school event celebrating close father-child relationship, has pulled social media’s heart strings hard.

Yevette Vazquez, from Fort Worth, Texas, was dropping off her 12-year-old son Elijah at school when she saw that there were more parked cars than usual for a school run. “I ask him why there were so many cars,” Vazquez wrote in a Facebook post that has been shared more than 6，000 times. He said, “Donuts (炸面圈饼）with Dad”. It was an event being held by the school to honor close father-child relationship. But Vazquez, who is a single parent, did not want her son to be left out from the event. Instead, she and Elijah drove home so that she could change her appearance. “I know seeing other dads with their kids isn’t easy for mine but it’s life, at least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face,” wrote Vazquez in the post.

It’s just amazing.” Another named Mozar E Lucy DePaula said, “You are an amazing mom. I was a single mom, so I know what it takes us to do anything to see a smile on our kids，faces.

Every August, Spain’s countryside comes alive with fiestas (宗教节日). But hardly anyone actually lives here. People come one week a year to party in the villages of their ancestors. During the other 51 weeks, villages are deserted. “There was a time when this place was growing! But not anymore.” says Felix Sacristan, who’s 55 and unemployed, living in his late grandfather’s house. “The only ones left are the elderly. There are lots of abandoned homes. ” It makes for cheap housing, he says.

Like much of Spain’s central Meseta Table Plateau, this land is dusty and the climate is severe. People say it，s like nine months of winter and three months of burning hell. “This land used to be for cereals (谷物）, but it’s difficult to grow anything else,” Sacristan says. “And who wants to be a farmer these days now, anyway?”

In northern Europe, the Industrial Revolution pulled people to big cities centuries ago. But in Spain, that migration happened much later. The first wave occurred after the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s; the second, after Spain’s military governing ended in the late 1970s. Now there’s been a third leaving, during the recent economic crisis. But it’s not just on Spain’s severe central land. Even villages in the country’s most fertile northwest region, Galicia, are being depopulated. The Galician landscape once supported Spain’s highest population, and half of all Spanish villages are located there. Now nearly half of these villages are abandoned.

“Some of the places I'm finding have been empty for 50 or 60 years,” Adkinson, a British-born real estate (房地产）agent who searches the countryside for abandoned properties and tries to match them up with foreign buyers, says.

28. The text mainly tells about the present situation of_______.

A. the culture in Spain        B. the aging problem in Spain

C. old buildings in Spain      D. countryside life in Spain

29. What is the land where Felix Sacristan lives like?

A. It is as rich as ever.

B. It is polluted by rubbish.

C. It is hard to farm for a living.

D. It is frozen throughout the year.

30. The underlined part “being depopulated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______.”

A. suffering disasters        B. gaining attention

C. producing more          D. reducing residents

31. Which of the following can we learn from the text?

A. Villages got empty suddenly in Spain.

B. Some rich people are moving to countryside.

C. Spanish have experienced several migrations.

D. Working as a real estate agent in Spain is very easy.

D

At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动）, but let it pass instead You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.

One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat； it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the US, thin is “in” but fat is “out”.

It’s not surprising that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America’s fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable (易受攻击的）to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.

32. From the text we can infer a taboo is considered______.

A. unacceptable in people’s eyes

B. popular with people

C. favorable impression left on other people

D. a crime committed on impulse

33. According to the text we can conclude in American society “being fat”______   

A. hasn’t long been a taboo

B. will always remain a taboo

C. may no longer be a taboo some day

D. is not considered a taboo by most people

34. In the US, thin is “in” but fat is “out” most probably mean_.

A. thin is “lazy” but fat is “kind”

B. thin is “old” but fat is “youthful”

C. thin is “unsuccessful” but fat is “successful”

D. thin is “popular” but fat is “unpopular”

35. Why are so many Americans exercising more?

A. To keep strong and free from disease.

B. To find good jobs in the companies.

C. To encourage their children.

D. To avoid becoming old.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We know that choosing a college major can be extremely hard. 36  However, it is a challenge to pick one when it feels as if the rest of your adult life is riding on that choice. It is a big commitment, but it’s not a life sentence. Many graduates pursue careers that aren’t directly related to their college majors, or change careers after several years. You may choose to base your decision on any of these factors：

Dream job

__37 . Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, a physician, or a web developer. Before you declare，take a class or two in the relevant discipline, talk to students in the department of your choice.

Great ambition

According to PayScale. com, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, computer science, physics, statistics, government and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, too. __38___ .

__39__

Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what you’re studying, you’re more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience. 40 . If your calling is philosophy, don’t write it off just because you’re not sure about graduate school, or what the job market holds for philosophers.

A. Love project

B. The academy of the School

C. Many schools offer hundreds of choices

D. Science is a specific subject that college students specialize in

E. That seven figure salary may not be worth it if you’re not happy at the office

F. That can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field

G. Some students choose a major because it will prepare them for a specific career path or advanced study

Dear Dr. Brown,

I am terribly sorry for making a mistake in my last letter, which invited you to our graduation party. Due to my carelessness, I provided a wrong time and place. I’m writing to apologize for it and inform you of the correct information.

Would you please let me know whether you can come or not in advance? We will be more than delighted if you can spare some time from your busy schedule.
