My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren't families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not anymore. Everyone's working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats home-cooked food anymore.
And people don't talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think ..
Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore. What does the grandfather think of the life now?
| A．He thinks the life is the same as it used to be. |
| B．He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be. |

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.We usually have to accept _______ if we want to be successful.

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news anchor with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.
The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.
To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don’t meet the standards for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles(颗粒)to pollute the air.
To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.
In her film, Chai also emphasized that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai sees a dirt mound(土堆) in a building site exposed in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities(过滤设备)，she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.
Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to be concerned with the environment. This is what we need in the future.” What do most of people do to deal with the smog?
| A．Wear a mask. |
| B．Think of ways to beat it. |
| C．Find out what has caused it. |
| D．Take a documentary. |
What is the main cause of smog according to Chai?
| A．Setting off too many fireworks. |
| B．Burning too much coal and oil. |
| C．Too many cars in big cities. |
| D．Too many factories and companies. |
Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog?
| A．Using cleaner energy. |
| B．Cleaning coal and oil. |
| C．Using gas and electricity. |
| D．Replacing coal with wind energy. |
What can we tell from the story?
| A．Only factories produce heavy smog. |
| B．Only the government can control smog. |
| C．Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people. |
| D．Living a green life can help reduce smog. |
