Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe”(低头族). Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
Using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he bumped into a big lost bear on the street. When he lifted his eyes from the phone,he was so scared that he turned around and ran away as quickly as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

A boy without ears was often laughed at at school, so he often asked his parents to graft(移植) a pair of ears for him.
One day a doctor said to the boy’s father that he could graft a pair of ears for his son, if they could be offered. Two years went by. Then, “You are going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret,” said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success. Later the boy married and entered the diplomatic service(外交部). “But I must know who gave so much to me. I could never do enough for him.” “But the agreement was that you are not to know… not yet,” said the father. The years kept their secret, but the day did come… one of the darkest days that ever passed through his son. Slowly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show… that the mother had no ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?”
Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance, but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what that can be seen, but what that cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what that is done but not known.
Why was the boy laughed at at school?

A.Because he was very short.
B.Because he was very foolish.
C.Because he has no eyes.
D.Because he has no ears.

C.①③④② D.③①④②

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Real beauty lies in the heart.
B.Real love lies in what that is done but not known.
C.The passage mainly tells us how the boy succeeded.
D.The love of mother is great.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem better. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A.Staying on the farm
B.Moving to the countryside
C.Leaving home for the city
D.Running away from the school

Which of the following is true about the writer?

A.He is very old now.

A.express his opinions about way of life
B.describe his life in the countryside
C.show an interest in the outside world
D.ask the reader to live in the city

How is the passage mainly developed?

A.By inferring B.By comparing
C.By listing examples D.By giving explanations
