New York was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the cleansing rain, dirtier. Raindrops pounded the hard streets, captured the silver glow of street lamps, and then disappeared into the darkness. I was disappointed by the darkness and fixed my hopes on the promise of light deep within the raindrops.

Two days later, I leaned against the wall of our apartment building on McKibbin Street wondering where New York ended and the rest of the world began. It was hard to tell. There was no horizon (地平线) in Brooklyn. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met a vertical maze of gray and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows.

A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand. She looked at me shyly; I pretended to ignore her. She stepped on the rope, stretched the ends overhead as if to measure their length, and then began to skip, slowly. At one moment, she turned her back to me; then she faced me again and smiled. I smiled back, and she hopped over.

“¿ Tú eres hispana?” she asked, as she whirled (旋转) the rope in lazy arcs (弧形).

“No, I'm Puerto Rican.”

“Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That's what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and handed the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”

“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you're Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”

“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”

I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you're Hispanic?”

“Well, yeah. No ... I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”

“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let's say, and you're born here, but you don't speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”

“I guess so,” she said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don't speak Spanish, you're Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. I nodded and returned her rope.

But I didn't know. I'd always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn't occurred to me that in Brooklyn I'd be someone else.

25. How did the author experience Brooklyn?

A. It was orderly and appealing. B. It was uniform and stressful.

C. It was dirty yet exciting. D. It was dull yet safe.

26. How did the girl initially react to the author?

A. She acted as if she knew her. B. She turned a blind eye to her.

C. She cautiously took note of her. D. She had no intention of knowing her.

27. What did the author and the girl talk about?

A. The characteristics that an immigrant has.

B. The power of language to shape personality.

C. The criteria that determine a group of people.

D. The value of moving to a multicultural world.

28. What did being considered Hispanic represent for the author?

A. The end of happy childhood. B. The loss of her former identity.

C. An opportunity for self-redefinition. D. An unavoidable result of immigration.

C

“I like money and nice things, but it's not money that makes me happy. It's people,” says one woman in a World Bank survey. She's not alone: research has found that social combination is more important for well-being than income, and also decreases poverty. Loneliness, on the contrary, can be deadly: one study found it did more damage to health than smoking. This week, policymakers from 40 countries met in Colombia to think out ways to measure deprivation (贫困) that take account of more than just income, including isolation (孤立). Several Latin American countries are inventing or have already adopted such “multi-dimensional” measures of poverty.

Income can be a misleading measure of need because poor people end up living in different degrees of hardship depending on their resources. Having strong social bonds eases financial deprivation. Friends and relatives can lend money, share risks, mind children and bring news of job openings. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that when a group of Bangladeshi women were given business training and free livestock (家畜), not only did they move up the income ladder, but their friends' fortune improved too. A year later the friends' consumption had risen by almost 20%, and they claimed to know better about business as well.

The negative part is that not having the right friends can cement hardship. The more concentrated the poverty, the less helpful social networks tend to be. It is doubly unfortunate, then, that poor people are often socially rejected precisely because they are poor. Chileans and Venezuelans see poverty as a bigger cause of discrimination than gender or race, according to researchers from Oxford University.

Several countries have experimented with plans that connect lonely old people and deprived youth. Germany, for instance, has built “multi-generational” community centres where older visitors get computer coaching from teenagers. With luck, these connections will help: one American study found that in poor neighbourhoods, three-quarters of jobholders found work through friends. Perhaps Germany's centres will provide income as well as company.

29. What does the example of the Bangladeshi women indicate?

A. They are hardworking. B. The importance of cooperation.

C. They have good business sense. D. The significance of social bonds.

30. What does the underlined word “cement” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Cause. B. Strengthen. C. Avoid. D. Decrease.

31. What function of Germany's “multi-generational” community centres is stressed?

A. To care for old people. B. To educate young people.

C. To attract more companies. D. To benefit the poor financially.

Bicycles, roller skates and skateboards are dangerous. I still have scars on my knees from my childhood run-ins with various wheeled devices. Admittedly, I was a klutzy (笨拙的) boy, but I'm glad I didn't spend my childhood trapped in a room to protect me from every hit and bruise.

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” However, parents can't handle it when teenagers put this philosophy into practice. And now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adults and their kids.

Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to chat with their friends. Teens need the freedom to explore their identity and the world around them. Instead of sneaking out (偷偷地走出), they jump online.

As teens have moved online, parents have projected their fears onto the Internet, imagining all the potential dangers that youth might face.

Rather than helping teens develop strategies for negotiating public life and the potential risks of interacting with others, fearful parents have focused on tracking, monitoring and blocking. These strategies don't help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations, assess risks and get help when they're in trouble.

The key to helping youth with contemporary digital life isn't more restrictions. It's freedom-plus communication. Famed urban theorist Jane Jacobs used to argue that the safest neighborhoods were those where communities corporately took interest in and paid attention to what happened on the streets. Safety didn't come from surveillance (监视) cameras or keeping everyone indoors. The same is true online.

What makes the digital street safe is when teens and adults corporately agree to open their eyes and pay attention, communicate and negotiate difficult situations. Teens need the freedom to wander the digital street, but they also need to know that caring adults are behind them and supporting them wherever they go. The first step is to turn off the tracking software.

32. What do we know about the author's childhood?

A. He had a lot of fun playing out. B. He was pretty good at wheel sports.

C. He was well protected by his parents. D. He tried his best to avoid getting hurt.

33. How do parents usually react when their children move online?

A. They get into a panic. B. They don't care about it.

C. They encourage their kids to read. D. They plan some outdoor activities.

34. What should parents do to protect their kids from potential risks online?

A. Ban their kids' use of mobile phones.

B. Talk with their children about it openly.

C. Tell their children to stay away from the web.

D. Keep a close eye on their children's online activities.

35. What's the best title for the text?

A. Caring parents B. Childhood scars

C. Let kids run wild online D. How to make the digital street safe

How can I carry out a group project?

Group projects can feel so overwhelming (使人不知所措的), especially when people don't cooperate and follow through. “ 36 ” To follow this wise advice from expert Julie Hochheiser Ilkovich, simply break down that huge project into smaller jobs that can be tracked. Here's exactly how to do it:

1. List it. The day the project is assigned, immediately identify the end goal. 37 This should include everything from minor tasks to major ones.

2. Schedule it. 38 This should include meetings, tasks, and deadlines. Assign each person a color and highlight each task with those colors, so it's clear who is doing what.

3. Track it. As a team, decide on a project manager who will keep everyone on track, and who you agree is allowed to call team members out if they're slacking (懈怠的). (Advice on how to choose: 39 )

As stressful as group work is, it can actually be beneficial in the long run. At first, groups that work well together can achieve much more than individuals working on their own. And being part of a team will help you develop your interpersonal skills. Also, collaborating with others will help identify your own strengths and weaknesses.40

A. Give feedback on group processes to groups.

B. Then list what needs to get done to accomplish it.

C. Look for the person with the most organized desk!

D. A half-hour of planning saves a week of stress at the end!

E. Create a timetable for the project and put everything from the list on it.

F. This sense about yourself will be invaluable when you enter the workforce.

G. Group projects can help people develop new approaches to solving problems.

British people are famous for apologising in almost every situation. Whether we are apologising for asking a question, or for our bad weather, we are probably the number-one nation for 41 .

We Brits 42 ourselves on our polite manners towards one another in public. As a result, we often use the word ‘ 43 ’ quite a lot — even when we don't 44 mean it! Usually, if you want to ask a stranger for the time, you would 45 by saying ‘Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?’ If you're five minutes late for an appointment, you would generally 46 the person by saying ‘Sorry I'm late!’

We use the word ‘sorry' in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has slightly 47 over time. The two main dictionary definitions (定义) of ‘sorry’ are: 1) feeling sad for someone else 48 their problems or misfortunes 2) feeling regret because you've done something wrong. Now, 49 this. When you ask a stranger a question, you start with ‘sorry to disturb you’. In this situation, we aren't saying sorry out of pity or 50 .

So what does ‘sorry’ really 51 ? And why do Brits use it so 52 ? Well, in British culture, saying ‘sorry’ is a way to be 53 . It's also a very good way to 54 what you want. In an experiment, an actor 55 different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phone in order to make a call. 56 he came near to one group of strangers and asked them without apologising first, he was only 9 per cent successful in 57 their mobile phone. 58 , when he apologised to another group of strangers about the bad weather 59 asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying ‘sorry’ is not just being polite, but it is also a 60 method to get what you want too!
