1．Buy One Give One Buy One Give One（B1 G1）is a Singapore-based business and non-profit organization with a job to create a world full of giving.We help businesses around the world give back in meaningful ways so that they can create measurable and long-lasting influence.Since 2007，we have worked with more than 1，600 businesses creating more than 88 million giving activities.
Our business allows consumers，who may feel disconnected from the problems of the developing world，to become involved in social problems while still purchasing for themselves.For example，shoe brands like TOMS promise to donate one pair of shoes for every pair purchased.Soapbox gives soap to a needy child with every purchase.Watch company WeWood plants a tree every time you buy a watch.They have helped socially-conscious consumers purchase products and feel good about providing help to others.
See what some of our members say about being a part of B1 G1.

2．"There's no place like home." This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head.And for many young adults，it's the only affordable place to stay；somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad.But this comes at a price!
In some countries，it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents，but in other places，flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable.But there's been a growing trend，in the UK at least，for young people to return home to live—or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt，compared with 8% last year.More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.So，it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts.But for the "hoteliers"，that's mum and dad，the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply，and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their "big kids".Emma Craig from Money supermarket says，"They're trying to look after their children more.If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute.It tugs on your heartstrings more."
With parents spending around￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring，it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home.That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad！
（1）Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions？
A．A lazy youth，an awful age.
B．East or west，home is best.
C．Two heads are better than one.
D．Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
（2）Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds？
A．The popularity of living independently.
B．Looking after their old parents.
C．The increase of unemployment rate.
D．Their parents' financial offer.
（3）What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds？
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncertain.
C．Objective.
D．Understandable.
（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A．Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B．Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C．Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D．Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco-conscious people.We switched our light bulbs to CFL（compact fluorescent light）bulbs to conserve energy.We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances that weren't in use.But the rate of global warming exceeded our snail's pace conversion to greenhood.So I pressed onward.
I decided to put veganism（素食主義）at the top of our agenda.Vegans refuse any animal flesh or commercial goods made from any animal by products such as milk or fats.All the family applauded this option except for my husband.Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it wasn't dinner.I cooked up a storm，struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not-so-obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos and high-fiber vegetable stir-fry.It took a few days before he realized that he hadn't been eating any meat.
"I feel like eating beef." he announced.So that night，I took full advantage of a zucchini （一種南瓜），cut it into chunky（粗大的）pieces and cooked them.Then I covered them with spices.My beef-starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face.
"Where's the beef？"
"Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs."
"I knew it，" he murmured. "You've surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle." His taste buds were developed completely around the flavor of every kind of animal：cattle，pigs，deer，lamb，chickens and ducks.Converting him was like feeding grass to a lion.
I'm all for preserving our planet，but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrow's generation if today's died of starvation？The next day，we went out for burgers.I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin.
（1）Which of the following best explains "exceeded" underlined in Paragraph 1？

（2）What do we know about the author's husband from Paragraph 2？
A．He supported the meat-free diet.

（3）What do we know about the author？

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

B．Discrimination or Appreciation？
C．Vegetables or Troubles？
D．Greens or Lions？組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -
4．Like infectious diseases，ideas in the academic world are epidemic （傳染的）.But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones has been a mystery？Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to simulate（模仿）how ideas move from one academic institution to anojye.air.The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less famous places，explains Allison Morgan，a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
"This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads，" says senior author Aaron Clauset.
Not only is this unfair - "it reveals a big weakness in how we're doing science，" says Simon DeDeo，a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon university，who was not involved in the study. "There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions.They are producing good ideas，and we know those ideas are getting lost，" DeDeo says. "Our science，our scholarships，is not as good because of this."
The Colorado researchers first looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions.They found that hiring a new faculty member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time--and in 81 percent of those cases，transmissions took place from higher – to lower-prestige（聲望）universities.Then the team simulated the spread of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" depended on the prestige of the originating institution.The findings were published online last October in EPJ Data Science.
The researchers' model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack，in terms of universities." Clauset says.There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places，he says："You can learn a huge amount from it，and you can learn things that other people don't know because they're not even paying attention."
（1）The underlined word "This" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that.
A．good ideas from less important institutions lack influence.
B．the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintain.
C．scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless.
D．the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spread.
（2）The case of some hires is used to indicate.
A．why the originating institutions transfer their Dew findings.
B．the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects.
C．how hires carry the ideas from lower - to higher - status institutions.
D．hires are important for spreading the good ideas.
（3）According to Simon DeDeo，what can we infer in Paragraph 3？
A．All the people with higher education have good ideas.
B．Some scholarships aren't given to the right people.
C．Most good ideas come from not-so-great institutions.
D．People with higher education should work in top-institutions.
（4）What is the article mainly about？
A．Higher-status and lower-status institutions
B．Original ideas created by researchers
C．Epidemiological Model
D．Idea Epidemic組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

5．Few things feel as painful as rejection.Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party.Rejection means having your actions criticized（批評(píng)）.Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea.Every "no" indicates a door closed to you. （1）
Developing your self-confidence is key.Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person.（2）Never think you are worthless or unlovable.What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made.Review them every day.Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.
Rejection will enhance（增強(qiáng)）whatever negative things you say to yourself.Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected，but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are.（3）Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down.
（4）Instead，they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength.They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context.Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience.It also involves learning and growing from negative voice.
（5）You can feel the pain as you like，crying or locking yourself in，but don't let it become a long-term visjye.aior.It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively.
A.Rejection is a learning experience.
B.It's powerless without your cooperation.
C.So you should practice positive self-talk.
D.It's normal to feel upset about rejection.
E.Therefore，it is vital to develop effective responses.
F.Rejection is beneficial to those who make full use of it.
G.Those who transform（轉(zhuǎn)化） rejection understand it is not about experiencing loss.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

My father and I disagreed about my curfew（晚間在家的時(shí)間）.He would say I had to be in by 9：30 on weekdays，and 11：00 on weekends，and there was no exception.One day，I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew.I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid.He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction，it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange，my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game.On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back，I got everything prepared.When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home，I understood that he was a little late.But then，nearly a whole hour passed.I was getting upset.We were going to miss the kick-off!And why hadn't he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late？As I anxiously stepped the floor，another half hour passed.That was when I got really angry.How inconsiderate my father was!We were going to miss the whole game!However，when another half an hour passed，my anger turned to fear.What if something terrible had happened to my dad，like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident，or something else？I began to get really worried，feeling like sitting on pins and needles.I had already called his cell phone about ten times，but there was no answer.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
