When talking about picking a right school，a mother and teacher gave some pieces of advice．
In the latest issue （期） of Youth magazine，the mother shared the school advice she gave her daughters with young people across the country．
"I've told my daughters many times that I don't want them to choose a name，"the mother said．"I don't want them to think，'Oh，I should go to these top schools．'We live in a country with hundreds of excellent universities．So the first question is：what's going to work for me？"
"When it was time to prepare for picking schools，nobody around me believed I could get into Xiamen University．But through hard work I finally made it，"she continued．"So，my second piece of advice is：believe in yourself，no matter what other people might say．Once your goal is set，you only need to try your best to make it come true．"
"The last piece of advice is not to be worried even if your dreams don't come true．As I've siad above，there are so many good universities out there．So it's important for everybody to understand that you can always find a university that gives you a great education．"

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole schoo1. “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and I went to school on Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
I went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

Computer technology has become an important part of people’s life．This technology has its own special words．One well-known computer word is Google．It’s the name of a popular “search engineer(引擎)” for the Internet．People use the search engineer to find information about almost any subject on the Internet．The people who started the company named it Google because in math Google is a very large number-One hundred zeros follow the number one．When you “Google” a subject, you can get a lot of information about it．
If you Google someone, you might find that person’s name on a blog (博客)．A blog is short for a Web log．It’s a personal Web page．Some people write blogs to express their opinions and ideas over the Internet．Some use them to share their lives with faraway friends or family．Others write blogs to help them deal with sickness, money problems or to choose movies to see or books to read．Some people add information to their blogs every day．People who have blogs are called bloggers．
根据短文内容, 判断下列句子的正误,正确的为“T”，错误的为“F”。并在答题卡上将答案涂黑。Google and Blog are two kinds of popular search engineer．
．One can use Google to search the Internet for all information he wants．
．People may use blogs to share their opinions or ask others for help．
．Bloggers must add information to their blogs every day．
From the passage we can infer ( 推断) that computer technology is changing people’s life．
If you think texting(发短信) while walking is dangerous, just wait until everyone starts wearing Google's smart, Internet-connected glasses. These glasses can do anything you now need a smartphone or tablet computer(平板电脑) to do —and then some.
In Google's video, a guy wearing the "Project Glass" is shown getting subway information, making an appointment with a friend for coffee and showing the directions in a bookstore, all with the help of the glass. It ends with him playing an instrument for a woman and showing her the sunset through a video chat.
The "Project Glass" Google displayed have a sleek(光滑的) wrap-around look and appear nothing like 3-D glasses. In development for a few years, the project is the idea of Google X, the online search-leader's secret department that produced the self-driving car and could one day send elevators into space.
Google posted the video and short blog post about “Project Glass” on April 4th, asking people to offer feedback(反馈) through its Google Plus social network. By April 5th, about 500 people did, voicing a mix of amazement and concern about the new technology. What if people used it in cars and could not concentrate on driving? What about the effect on(对……有影响) your sight of having a screen so close to your eye?
Some asked for the glass, but Google isn't giving those out just yet. The company didn't say when normal people can expect to get their hands on a piece of Project Glass, but going by how quickly Google will come out with new products, it may not be long. Enderle said that it could be about six months to a year before wide tests are coming, and a year or more for the first version(版本) of the product. This passage mainly talks about .

C. Some people worry that the glass will be bad to our sight while wearing it.
A ban on smoking in most public places goes into effect(效果) on Sunday in China - home to a third of the world's smokers. That means around 300 million smokers will no longer be allowed to light their cigarettes in the "enclosed public places." These include hotels, restaurants, theaters and public transport waiting rooms. The ban does not cover offices or factories.
The campaign is aimed at controlling(控制) the number of deaths from smoking-related illnesses, running at a million a year. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3,000 people die every day in China because of smoking. Health experts also hope it will help Chinese to raise the knowledge of the dangers of smoking.
But the new rules have been criticized because they do not include punishments(处罚) for those who choose not to obey them.Most people worry that Chinese smoking ban may have little effect.
Business owners often hate rules that force(强迫) them to ban smoking on their restaurants, bar, cafe..., because many customers(顾客) do not like the rules and complain. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar.
It appears that many Chinese people don’t know the dangers of smoking. Research suggests only one in four knows the harm(害处) cigarettes or second-hand smoke can cause.
At the same time the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firms that make and sell all tobacco products throughout the country.The word “ban” in the first sentence means .
