In my pinin, my mther has the ability t d anything, especially chres such as irning and cking. Hwever, teaching her hw t use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling (解开) wires.
Once, my mther came t me t ask fr help n hw t find a recipe fr all-beef Lasagna（千层饼）. I gave her very simple verbal instructins—g t the hme page f a particular search engine and type in “recipe fr all-beef Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came t me, telling me that she was unable t find the Internet icn. I went ver t the cmputer and pinted ut the icn t her.
Anther fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap n my shulder. This time, my mther said that she was unable t search fr the particular recipe. Gritting (咬) my teeth, I walked t her rm again. I saw that she had typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strkes, I keyed in the crrect spelling.
Yet anther fifteen minutes went by again when my mther gingerly tapped my shulder. I strmed next dr withut bthering t hide my frustratin. The main page f the website had nt shifted ne bit. I then realized that she did nt knw hw t scrll(滚动屏幕) dwn the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning ut t be an intense ne.
T avid being disturbed again, I decided t find the recipe fr her. Withut a wrd, I rapidly dwnladed a few recipes, printed them ut and passed them t my mther. Hwever, seeing her embarrassment, I began t regret my impatience.
At that mment, memries flashed thrugh my mind. When I was yung, my mther endured my endless questins, enlightening me with much patience. Nw that I am lder, the rles slwly reverse. As my mther may increasingly need my help, shuldn’t I rethink hw t respnd t her needs?
24．Why des the authr gave her mther very simple instructins at first?
A．Because she was an impatient persn.
B．Because she didn’t want t be disturbed.
C．Because she wanted t make them easy t fllw.

Bred t be sweeter, tday’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used t but nt necessarily better. Amng fruit farmers, the wrd “quality” is nw rutinely used as a standard fr “high in sugar”, thugh firmness, clr and size are als cnsideratins. In a recent study abut ways t enhance the sweetness f fruit using “mlecular (分子的) appraches”, a grup f plant scientists wrte that, in general, the sugar cntent f many fruits are nw higher than befre wing t cntinuus selectin and breeding(交配繁殖，培植). Mdern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were n average sweeter than lder nes.
The sweetness f fruit depends nt just n hw it is bred but als n grwing cnditins, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If yu culd taste an apple harvested 30 years ag, yu wuld feel the difference.” He believed that mdern apples are picked s early that even if they are bred fr sweetness, they ften dn’t develp their full character. The fragrance never develps in fruit that is harvested t early.
Jim Cper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful t admit the fact that many peple will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type f heritage apple. In a way, the rise f cnsistently sweeter fruit in ur lifetimes has been a victry f plant breeding. After all, it’s a rare persn wh wuld seek ut bitter grapes if they culd have sweet nes instead.
But the sweetness f mdern fruit is nt withut its prblems, especially fr peple with diabetes (糖尿病), wh have t reduce their intake f higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter als tends t be lwer in the chemicals that make it healthy. Cnsidering health, maybe the real prblem with mdern fruit is that it has becme yet anther sweet thing in a wrld with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used t be quite bitter, are smetimes nw as sweet as ranges. If yu’ve never tasted a sur cherry, hw can yu fully appreciate a sweet ne?
28．In what aspect is many fruits different frm befre?
A．Bright clr.B．Sft skin.C．Sugar cntent.D．High yield.
29．Why did Sugiura express discntent with the present fruits?
A．They are bred t early.B．They are lsing a gd flavr.
C．They taste s sweet.D．They need a higher yield.
30．What is Cper’s attitude twards mdern fruit breeding?
A．Critical.B．Ambiguus.C．Favrable.D．Uncaring.
31．What’s the main idea f the last paragraph?
A．The sweetness f fruits will cause health issues.
B．It’s a wise chice t breed fruits fr sweetness.
C．Breeding sweet fruits imprves the quality f fruits.
D．Sme fruits like grapes and cherries taste the same.

When scientists g t a frest t study mnkeys and their habits and behavirs, hw d they knw wh’s wh?
In the past, scientists had t make marks n each f the animals t distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way t tell them apart thanks t facial recgnitin technlgy.
A research team frm China’s Nrthwest University is using facial recgnitin technlgy t identify thusands f snub-nsed mnkeys that live n Qinling Muntain in Shaanxi prvince.
Similar t human facial recgnitin, the technlgy that is used t identify mnkeys uses their facial features t create a database that includes every mnkey, Xinhua reprted. “When the system is fully develped, we can cnnect it with cameras set up in the muntains. The system will autmatically recgnize the mnkeys, name them and analyze their behavir,” said Zhang He, a member f the research team. “Fr each snub-nsed mnkey, we have 700 t 800 image samples, and the recgnitin success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added.
“We used mbile phnes and prtable cameras with the mnkeys in tests at distances ranging frm abut 3 t 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member f the research team and an assciate prfessr in the Cllege f Life Sciences at Nrthwest University. “There is n need t interfere with the mnkeys. Such a methd f sampling is clearly nn-invasive.”
Cmpared t humans, facial recgnitin technlgy fr mnkeys is mre cmplicated because f their hairier faces. The clr f their hair causes them t blend int their envirnment. These factrs make it harder fr cmputers t identify them.
“Mnkeys d nt cperate with researchers in the same way humans d. It is difficult t take high-quality pictures and vides f them, which are needed t imprve the system,” said Li Bagu, leader f the research team.
Currently, there are abut 4,000 snub-nsed mnkeys living n Qinling Muntain. The team’s gal is t successfully identify every mnkey that lives there.
32．What prblem d scientists face while studying mnkeys accrding t the text?
A．Hw t mark them.B．Hw t distinguish them.
C．Hw t understand their behavir.D．Hw t bserve them clearly
33．What des the article tell us abut facial recgnitin technlgy fr mnkeys?
A．It is nw widely adpted in China.
B．It wrks better than human facial recgnitin.
C．It will use mnkeys’ behavir t create a database.
D．It can help scientists study mnkeys withut disturbing them.
34．Accrding t the leader f the team, what is the difficulty in imprving the system?
A．Less cperative mnkeys.
B．Hard fr cmputers t identify the mnkeys.
C．Phts and vides f high quality.
D．T many mnkeys t identify.
35．What is the authr’s main purpse in writing the article?
A．T intrduce a new way t identify mnkeys.
B．T shw the imprtance f studying mnkeys.
C．T cmpare different ways t identify mnkeys.
D．T explain difficulties in develping a new system.

The schl I went t had a traditin carried ut every year during the eighth-grade graduatin: a beautiful gld and green jacket (the schl clrs)was awarded t the student wh had maintained the highest grades fr eight years.
I was furteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had lked frward very much t wning that jacket. My family was s pr that, when I was six, I was given t my grandparents t raise. I culdn’t participate in sprts at schl because we culdn’t affrd the fees; even thugh I was quite athletic, there wuld never be a schl sprts jacket fr me. S, this ne, the schlarship jacket, was my nly chance.
One day in May, clse t graduatin, utside the histry teacher’s classrm, I heard a fierce argument between the principal（校长） and my histry teacher, Mr. Frank, abut giving the schlarship jacket t Jann, whse father is n the Bard(校董会) and wns the nly stre in twn. Frank angrily claimed that he wuld never lie r falsify(伪造) recrds.
The principal apprached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in plicy this year. The Bard has decided t charge fifteen dllars fr the schlarship jacket this year. S if yu are unable t pay the fifteen dllars fr the jacket it will be given t the next ne in line.” Staring at him in shck, I didn’t need t ask wh that was.“I’ll speak t my grandfather and let yu knw tmrrw,” I gathered all the dignity. I cried n the walk hme frm the bus stp. I wanted that jacket s much. It represented eight years f hard wrk and expectatin.
