There were bills

8、for electricity, water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the cable bill. Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes a

9、nd thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures. When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called Nanny worked in her big kitchen. I remember slipping there getting a smile, a hug, a ki

10、ss and a hot roll from Nanny. Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny quarter. She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camps swimming pool where I could buy a warm

11、cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand. I took my time because it was always a big decision. It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes. Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it

12、 to me. I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now. The old saying is true, With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life. You can alway

13、s welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.24.

14、t hand.D. How to balance the money available.25. What does the underlined word roll in Paragraph 2 refer to？ A. A kind of breadB. A kind of act.C. A sound.D. A greeting.26.

16、across a post saying something like this：I just got accepted to Harvard and Oxford! Are they sure they didnt mix my applications up with somebody elses？ This person is clearly humblebragging. The term humblebrag was first coined back in 2010 by the late US comedian Harris Wittels, and it describes w

17、hen someone makes a seemingly modest statement, but the actual purpose is to bring attention to something they are proud of. The example above is a modesty-based humblebrag. The person wants to tell others：I got accepted to Harvard and Oxford! However, they dont want to seem too proud of their accom

18、plishments. So, instead, they word it in a way to be more modest and bring down the importance of their achievements. Although people who humblebrag think it will make them more likeable because they arent talking proudly about their victories, a study published in the Journal of Personality and Soc

19、ial Psychology showed that humblebragging actually has the opposite effect. Humblebragging doesnt have the intended result because it seems insincere. That poor me attitude combined with self-promotion does not lead to a favorable impression, said Ovul Sezer, the lead author of the study and an assi

20、stant professor of organizational behavior at the University of North Carolina, US. Even simply bragging or complaining is better, because at least those messages are seen as more sincere. Sezers study also found that nearly 60% of humblebrags were complaint-based humblebragging, with most people hu

21、mblebragging about their looks, followed by their money or wealth, and finally about their performance at work. Its such a common phenomenon. All of us know some people in our lives, whether in the social media or in the workplace, who do this annoying thing, commented Sezer, adding that we all do i

22、t to some extent. So, if you want to share your achievements with others, whats the best way to do it then？Sezer suggests that people admit their self-promotion and harvest the rewards of being sincere. She also suggests finding a go-between, adding, If someone brags for you, thats the best thing th

23、at can happen to you, because then you dont seem like youre bragging.28. The underlined word coined in Paragraph 2 probably means _ .A. recognizedB. inventedC. boughtD. copied29. Which of the following can be considered as humblebragging？ A. Hesitating to talk about your achievements.B. Bringing peo

24、ples attention to your achievements.C. Talking proudly about your achievements in the social media.D. Pretending to be modest when talking about your achievements.30. What is Sezers attitude towards humblebragging？ A. Cautious.B. Ambiguous.C. Supportive.D. Disapproving.31. What does Sezer suggest pe

25、ople do when it comes to sharing achievements？ A. Share their achievements with their best friends.B. Bring down the importance of their achievements.C. Find someone else to talk about their achievements.D. Talk about their achievements after someone else does.DNowadays with the popularity of the In

26、ternet, many people complain of the difficulty of finding their true identity among all the conflicting messages and demands of the world around them. This idea, that, somewhere deep down, is the real us, is as old as philosophy itself. It involves things like our values, our sense of purpose, the b

27、eliefs that make us who we are. We often ask the question: Are you living the life you want to be living, or the life other people want you to live？ The Internet has brought the opinions of others to our own lives as never before, and it is threatening our ability to understand who we really are. To

28、 discover our true selves, maybe its time to disconnect. Not forever, that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but for significant periods of our days, weeks, or months. Because, with disconnection comes quiet and with quiet comes the ability to reflect. In researching my World Servic

29、e documentary Default World, I spoke to a lot of people about their experience of technology. Many said they were trying to spend less time online, taking a break from Facebook, and connecting only when they needed to. And they spoke with pleasure of rediscovering the physical world around them and

30、the world of human-to-human communication. I think this is encouraging. We are still learning how to be on the Internet, what effect this huge network of computers a network we have built ourselves has on our sense of self. We are at the moment, as Thoreau said of people in the industrial revolution

31、, tools of our tools. Disconnecting gives us a chance to turn the tables to see the Internet not as something that overwhelms（使不知所措）us but as a tool, which we use when we need it. Only then can we really understand who we are and what we can give the world. And that, deep down, is the real tool of o

32、ur identity.32. What makes it difficult for us to find the real us？ A. The flood of online messages.B. Losing our sense of purpose.C. The fast pace of our modern life.D. Lacking values and beliefs.33. What should we do first to discover our true selves according to the text？ A. Rediscover the physic

33、al world.B. Build a good social relationship.C. Spend time studying philosophy.D. Take a break from the Internet.34. What does the underlined phrase turn the tables in the last paragraph probably mean？ A. To win a victory.B. To change the situation.C. To follow a trend.D. To solve the problem with t

43、 a hot evening; there is no air in the station. This black kid is just sitting there, settled on the railing, and Im just standing there about 10 feet away looking for the faraway lights of the oncoming train. Then suddenly a white police officer is asking the kid for identification. The kid turns a

44、 little annoyed and asks what hes been bothering about. The officer doesnt explain. The kid pulls out some I.D. and hands it to the officer who looks at it and then barks out a demand for something with an address on it, a drivers license.Unwillingly, the kid pulls out a second piece of identificati

45、on. The officer looks at it and tells the kid to come with him. Nothing I have seen or heard explains the officers strict approach or why the kid is being led away. I get up to the officer and politely ask what this guy did and where he is taking him. He looks at me like Im armed and crazy and tells
