Kierons artwork, though, extends far beyond child-like stick figures or finger painting. In fact, the child from Norfolk, England, has been called “the boy who paints like an old master.” According to his parents, Kieron was a typical toddler who like finding bugs and playing in the mud. But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach, the 5-year-old was inspired by the boats and scenery and asked his parents for a sketch pad. His initial drawings could have been done by any young child, but after the family returned home, Kieron continued drawing and began to display a gift for art. When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together, his parents realized he needed professional instruction. Soon after, he began taking lessons, and his progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolors. In 2009,when the 6-years-old had a chance to exhibit his work in a gallery, he sold 19 paintings for 14,000pounds, becoming famous overnight. From then on, he was surrounded by buyers from France, Japan, Greece and other countries. The young artist held another exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for over 17,000 pounds, followed by a third sale, earning 150,000 pounds. For the fourth exhibit, Kieron took the day off from school but ended up returning to school early. His entire collection had sold out in 10 minutes to collectors from around the world. Now he has a waiting list of more than 5,000 people who have ordered his paintings. He has appeared in interviews before millions, and he has been compared to Pablo Picasso. Yet Kieron doesnt seem to be fazed by all the attention, still making time for football and maintaining excellent grades at school. He does have one goal he gets excited about: “ Id like the Queen to have a collection of my work.” With his popularity climbing, this young artist may realize his wish one day. 26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True? A. Kierons paintings are just as childish as other childrens.B. Kierons initial drawings suggested that he would be an art master.C. Kieron benefited greatly from professional instruction.D. Before displaying a gift for art, Kieron received professional training.27. Paragraph 5 is mainly intended to tell us _. A. the four exhibits of his paintings B. the process of his wealth accumulationC. the high quality of his paintings D. the increasing popularity of his paintings 28. Why did Kieron go back to school early on the day of his fourth exhibit? A. Because his mind was focused on study.B. Because the exhibit was put off.C. Because he wanted to gain praise from teachers.D. Because his paintings were sold out earlier than expected.29. What does the word “fazed ”probably mean in Paragraph 6? A. frustrated B. affected C. encouraged D. defeated30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Kieron respects and admires the Queen very much. B. Kieron likes to earn money from the Queen. C. Kieron is bound to realize his dream. D. Kierons goal is unlikely to come true.B You might think Id have little in common with a camel, but we do share one useful skill: both of us can go for a very long time without water. Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, and then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner, thats about a liter of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently its not nearly enough. After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three liters of liquid a day for my body to function at its best. I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the recommended amount every day for a month? The photograph of me taken the day I started this trial demonstrates(展示）perfectly and rather frighteningly what a lack of hydration does to a face. I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any luster（光澤）. It looks dead. Even my lips look shriveled（枯萎的）. This is all classic evidence of poor hydration, apparently. Every system and function in our body depends on water. It flushes toxins from the vital organs, carries nutrients to cells, provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues, and eliminates waste. Not drinking enough means all these functions becomes damaged. So I decided to see how I would look and feel if I drank three liters of water every day for 28 days. The results were astonishing.31.Which statement is Not True according to Paragraph 1?A. The author drinks about a liter of liquid every day.B. The author has something in common with a camel.C. The author actually has plenty of water in her daily life.D. The author thinks she drinks enough water every day.32.Why did the author decide to drink the recommended amount of water?A. Because she was very fond of doing experiments.B. Because she was informed of the importance of drinking enough water.C. Because her doctors forced her to do it.D. Because she wanted to be cured of her stomachache.33.The authors lack of hydration caused the following physical responses Except_.A. shriveled lips B. dark shadows around her eyesC.enough luster of her skin D. wrinkles and blotches on her face 34.According to the passage, the author most probably tends to tell us_.A. the more water one drinks, the healthier he isB. its necessary to follow specialists instructionsC. drinking water makes ladies look youngerD. drinking enough water is key to ones health35.What will be probably written in the next paragraph?A. The author had his health greatly improved.B. The author gave up the experiment.C. The author suffered a lot from the experiment.D. The author felt very disappointed at the result. CWhen a shop is authentic and the workers are friendly, it can feel like a second home for consumers, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. People often feel strongly attached to particular places. Such places typically include their homes, but can also include commercial places such as stores and restaurants, write authors Alain Debenedetti (Universit Paris Est - IRG), Harmen Oppewal (Monash University), and Zeynep Arsel (Concordia University). How do people develop and experience place attachment when the place concerns a commercial setting, where they are just customers, and the place is owned or controlled by someone else?Consumers form strong emotional bonds with locations when they experience familiarity. Consumers also value authenticity and personal relationships. It also helps if it is a place where one can feel safe and secure, protected from not only disturbingstaff but also from aggressive promotional activities, the authors write. The place does not have to be asplendidflagship store. People can build attachments with quite ordinaryplaces, as long as the place meets the above criteria(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) of familiarity, authenticity and security.The authors gained these insights from interviews with a sample of French consumers who talked about their experiences with the places they most treasure: cafs, restaurants, department stores, concert halls, and libraries. The final phase of the study focused on patrons of a particular French wine bar.The authors also found that once consumers bond with a commercial space, they are willing to make efforts or sacrifices to support it. Satisfied customers may pay higher tips, volunteer to help the business, and serve as ambassadors, linking other consumers to the business. Consumers treat their special place as a treasured gift and in return want to support the establishment beyond what is expected of them as customers, the authors conclude.36.Which of the following does not contribute to consumers attachment? A. splendour B. familiarity C. authenticity D. safety37. Where was the study probably carried out? A. America B. China C. France D. Unknown38. The last paragraph mainly deals with_. A. extra reward from attached consumers B. the importance of treating consumers wellC. how to develop bonds with consumersD. the relationship between consumers and commercial places39. Who will benefit most from the result of the study? A. consumers B. store managers C. the store staff D. ambassadors40.Whats the best title of the passage? A. Ways to Attract More Consumers B. The Secret of Successful ManagementC. Consumers Attachment D. The Criteria of Successful Companies DParents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy. Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldnt have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids bedrooms. Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?” Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found. Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.41.Which statement is True according to the 1st paragraph?A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes.B. “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America.C. electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and educators. D. overuse of electronic media has caused many severe problems.42.Which is Not included in the new policy?A. Childrens screen time for entertainment should be limited.B. Children can only play video games in their bedrooms.C. Children cant call whoever they want to call without parents permission.D. Children younger than 2 should neither watch TV nor surf the Internet. 43.Why should parents themselves obey the family rules?A.Its beneficial to their health.B.Its essential to parenting their kidsC.Its beneficial to their work.D. Its essential to developing good relationship with their kids. 44.What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation?A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes.B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun. 45.What can be the best title of the passage?A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kidsB. No use, no worryC. Measures should be taken to stop childrens overuse of electronic mediasD.
