Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel．and then post to Instagram—it’s that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．
I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant-you order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online．They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for，if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．
The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．
4. Instagram probably is________．
A. a program used to share photos B. a campaign of “Food for Life”
C. a restaurant free of charge D. a new marketing project
5. What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?
A. Confused B. Interested C. Opposed D. Unconcerned
6. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_______．
A. raise the price of frozen food B. create a new social media trend
C. attract more customers D. reward the regular customers
7．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Food for Life B. The Pop-up Diner
C. No Need to Pay D. Pay by Picture

A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty, allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.
The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on mane life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been ‘really positive’.
“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.
The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
8. What was Rebecca Hosking?
A. A lawyer. B. An environmentalist.
C. A sailor. D. A photographer.
9. The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means .
A. acceptable B. valuable C. throw-away D. long-lasting
10. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.
C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
11. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Environmental Protection B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
C. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea Animals D. British Town Banning Plastic Bags
D
When students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and important. What they won’t show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.?
It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success. Robbin, 16, and Annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York. What’s more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.
“I like the idea of scientific research, ” says Robbin. It’s the basis for “every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” This summer, Robbin has been working with Lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”. With time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldn’t succeed.
Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil. “Sometimes I try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run. ” This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” But she’s now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success. In science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.?
12. What impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery?
A. Scientists achievements.? B. The reasons for success.?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
C. The cause of mistakes.? D. Stressful process of research.?
13. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Robbin is a graduate student.? B. Lauren managed to make new drugs.?
C. Annabelle learns the value of patience. D. Agnieszka expected an instant success.?
14. What did Robbin and Annabelle have in common in their experiments?
A. They did their experiments independently.?
B. They realized not all experiments would succeed.?
C. They assisted graduate students to make new drugs.?
D. They made severe mistakes in the experiments.?
15. What does the writer intend to tell us?
A. The cause of making errors in science.? B. The significance of scientific discovery.?
C. The importance of doing experiments.? D. The correct attitudes towards failures.?

Don’t wait for an 6 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things 7 same way.

The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain. It is said to have started in the early 1800s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, that might not be served until 8 o’clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain(瓷器) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.

Dear Peter,
I’d like to tell you something about my volunteering activities during the First National Youth Games held in our province last October. After training for a few days, I was sent to the railway station with some other volunteers to serve the passengers from home and abroad. We worked from 3 pm to 5 pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which lasted for a month. Knowing my city well, I was responsible to tell the passengers at the exit how to get to their destinations. In addition to offering them information about hotels, traffic, scenic spots, etc, I mainly guided the passengers to taxis or the right buses. The passengers appreciated my warm-hearted service, which greatly inspired me. It was a great experience, from which I learnt a lot. Thanks to the activity, I get to know how to communicate with others well.
Best wishes?

When students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and important. What they won’t show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.?
It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success. Robbin, 16, and Annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York. What’s more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.
“I like the idea of scientific research, ” says Robbin. It’s the basis for “every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” This summer, Robbin has been working with Lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”. With time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldn’t succeed.
Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil. “Sometimes I try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run. ” This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” But she’s now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success. In science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.?
12. What impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery?
A. Scientists achievements.? B. The reasons for success.?[来源:学科网ZXXK]
C. The cause of mistakes.? D. Stressful process of research.?
13. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Robbin is a graduate student.? B. Lauren managed to make new drugs.?
C. Annabelle learns the value of patience. D. Agnieszka expected an instant success.?
14. What did Robbin and Annabelle have in common in their experiments?
A. They did their experiments independently.?
B. They realized not all experiments would succeed.?
C. They assisted graduate students to make new drugs.?
D. They made severe mistakes in the experiments.?
15. What does the writer intend to tell us?

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 5 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 6 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things 7 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 8 (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things 9 the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance.

The book I’m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain. It is said to have started in the early 1800s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, that might not be served until 8 o’clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain(瓷器) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.

参考范文
Dear Peter,
I’d like to tell you something about my volunteering activities during the First National Youth Games held in our province last October. After training for a few days, I was sent to the railway station with some other volunteers to serve the passengers from home and abroad. We worked from 3 pm to 5 pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which lasted for a month. Knowing my city well, I was responsible to tell the passengers at the exit how to get to their destinations. In addition to offering them information about hotels, traffic, scenic spots, etc, I mainly guided the passengers to taxis or the right buses. The passengers appreciated my warm-hearted service, which greatly inspired me. It was a great experience, from which I learnt a lot. Thanks to the activity, I get to know how to communicate with others well.
Best wishes?
