Whatever life threw at us each year, our family had one tradition at Christmas: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.
Last year, everyone made it home for a Christmas get-together. However, it couldn’t feel perfect because Pepper’s health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected---she was fourteen—and yet her mind was still sharp. Her love for life made us feel better. But her body could not keep up with her mind.
Probably it was Pepper’s last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she would enjoy it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared presents for her.
Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift. She turned the present, just as she was a young dog once more. She pulled the paper off the dog treat before she chewed(咀嚼)it slowly. Our family was so happy.
Pepper saw the remaining three presents, and then turned to Mom as if asking, “May I open another?”
“Go ahead, girl!” Mom encouraged.
For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents. While she did, she reminded us of the joy of being together. Our family felt as a whole—not because we were in the same room or city, but because our love brought us together.
Pepper passed away after Christmas. Her peaceful passing made us tearful. Her passing was also a celebration of life, because she gave my family so much love and laughter.
I still treasure Pepper’s final Christmas gift. She taught me that no matter where we each spend the holidays, the smallest act of sincere giving can unite our family through our love. For me, that knowledge is the longest-lasting gift of all.
24. Why did the author think the Christmas wasn’t perfect last year?
A. Pepper was in poor health. B. Pepper died on Christmas Eve.
C. He didn’t get a Christmas gift. D. His family didn’ t feel as a whole.
25.How many Christmas gifts did Pepper get last year?
A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.
26.What does the underlined phrase “the longest-lasting gift” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The friendship with the dog.
B. The holiday spent with family.
C. The Christmas present for the dog.
D. The life lesson the author learned from Pepper.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Power of Love
B. Celebrating Christmas
C. The Importance of Helping Others
D. Enjoying the Happiness of Making Friends
C
Should I stay or should I go? An LED device (设备) for driverless cars aims to give pedestrians (行人) at a crossing the power to communicate with cars, signaling for them to stop or drive on.
Blink, created by researchers at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London, turns the awkward dance of eye contact and hand gestures that happens when a car slows down while someone is waiting to cross the road into something driverless cars can understand.
Blink combines an organic light display with the Windscreen (挡风玻璃) and windows of a car and uses light signals to show pedestrians when the car is aware of their presence. If the car detects a pedestrian, a figure lights up.
If a pedestrian raises a hand as a stop sign, the figure turns green, directing the pedestrian to cross, and the car is prevented from moving forward. If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues.
But George Filip at the University of Nottingham, UK, isn’t certain it is a good idea to give pedestrians control over driverless cars. He says cities could end up crowded because pedestrians keep stopping cars.
Producers should wait until the novelty of driverless cars has worn off before creating car-pedestrian communications systems, he says. “We need to learn how people actually communicate with autonomous cars.”
The idea is to help people feel more comfortable around driverless cars, says Blink co-creator Raunaq Bose. “It effectively gives pedestrians the car-stopping powers of lollipop men and women (帮助学童过马路的交通安全员).”
The team hasn’t yet tested the device on a driverless car, but Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest.
28. What do we know about Blink?
A. it’s a new car brand B. It’s a driving-aid system
C. It’s a car-producing company D it’s already widely known to the public
29. What’s George Filip’s attitude towards Blink?
A. Negative B. Curious C. Uninterested D. Appreciative
30. What can be inferred from what Bose said?
A. There’ s a demand for the device
B. The device has an uncertain future
C. The device is perfect for driverless cars
D. Several companies have begun to use the device
D
I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University (NYU). At the time, I was planning to get a law and business degree and wasn't even job hunting I walked into the student center to fetch a Coke, but instead found a roomful of students. Clearly, I had accidentally walked into a job fair (招聘会). As I tried to walk across the hall, a man stopped me, saying" Hi.my name is Donny Mckenthan, Would you like to work for IBM?""I replied, "No, thank you. I'm Just going to get a Coke.”
I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him about the company but I told him there was no way he could persuade me. I went out for dinner that night with some friends. When I mentioned this story, they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to refuse the interview with this amazing company! I went home that night, dug out his card from the rubbish and called him back.
After a series of successful interviews, an IBM manager called me to give me an offer. When I asked what the salary (薪水) was, he said something like 18. I thought $18, 000 a year was low. So I started to bargain. He was shocked and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in stone.
The next day, I received the offer letter. As it turns out, I misunderstood the offer-I would earn $1, 800 a month, not $18, 000 a year. That was a great salary back then, so of course, I took the job. A few months later the manager asked me to be placed in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to bargain over a starting salary! That comedy of mistake ended up being a wonderful22- year career(职业) at IBM.

C To talk with Donny Mckenthan D. To work for IBM

A Unhappy. B. Unbelievable C, Confident. D Proud
33. Who gave the writer the offer?
A. Donny Mckenthan B. His friends
C. An IBM manager. D. The student center.
34. Why did the writer bargain over his salary?
A. Because he was not satisfied with IBM
B. Because he was not willing to work for IBM
C. Because he wanted to be placed in sales
D. Because he misunderstood what the manager said

Life-changing habits
Turn off your phone before bed.
Forcing yourself to bed earlier is a tall order, but you can at least aim for the most restful sleep when you finally do turn in for the night. 36 Quit trying to pay attention to more emails or get a new high score, and make some progress in your reading list instead.
Eat more fruits and vegetables
Looking to eat healthier? 37 For a long-term solution, make a point of adding fresh produce to your plate, rather than avoiding certain foods. You’ll naturally eat fewer unhealthy foods not because there will be less room on your plate, but because you will be filling it up with satisfying fruits and vegetables.
38 .
Make a point of looking for the beauty in the world, and you could improve your general happiness. Try to record the details of your life. Start a diary to keep track of the beautiful things in your own life. 39 .
Listen more, talk less.
