Chinese media and Internet users on Monday decried（谴责）a lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice by two different vans and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl. The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.

The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.

Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl's parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.

Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.

High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.

But in recent years, the perception（观念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values. On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.

Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans (模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.

A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（责任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma. Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.

1. According to the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?

A. He/she would be condemned by the public. B. He/she would be awarded by the government.

C. The public would feel proud of him/ her and thus showed love and respect for him/ her

D. He/she would have to worry about liability. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about this passage?

A. Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans. B. The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time.

C. High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China. D. Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera.

3. In recent years, society’s values is believed to be affected by . A. people’s perceptions B. profit and materialism C. the apathy of bystanders D. the morals of society

4. According to Cao Lin, what is the fundamental reason for not helping the girl? A. The worry of liability.

B. Lack of laws that exempt Samaritans from liability. C. The decline of humanity in society.

D. The other two cases mentioned in the article-the case or an 88-year-old man and the case where a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused or harming her.

C

I used to think of myself as a person learned in books, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I couldn’t ever found anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.

So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.

With no idea where to get those books, I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.

The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan’s Ak Welsapar and Panama’s Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the UK, getting English versions of stories was tricky.

One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. At its best, I learned, reading makes the world real. 1. The author realized she was not a learned person when she found ________.

A. she could do nothing but read books

B. she had never been to Indian and Australian C. she didn’t have any translated books. D. she could only read simple English stories

2. What was the challenge the author set for herself?

A. Reading books from nearly 200 countries in a year. B. Creating a blog to offer help to other readers. C. Looking for publications to publish her own books. D. Giving some suggestions on learning English.

3. Which of the following is NOT the help from people around the world?

A. Offering book names. B. posting local books C. Giving financial supports D. Sending unpublished translations

4. It was not easy to find the books mainly because ________.

A. the readers were unwilling to offer help B. there were too few translations in the UK C. the author had no time and no chance to do it D. the writers didn’t want to publish their books

D

Do successful businessmen need an office? Increasingly the answer seems to be no.

Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obama’s first inauguration(就职) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks(星巴克); how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started

the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the children’s virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local café Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write.

It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafes than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery(痛苦) of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job.

Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi(无线网络) and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is becoming redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to specialist locations. But many of us---from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers---can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make one’s career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient.

1. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us . A. Obama didn’t write his inauguration speech by himself B. many writers like to write in a coffee shop C. a café is the best place to write D. people don’t have to work in an office

2. Which of the following careers is tied to special locations? A. Software engineers. B. Copywriters. C. Surgeons. D. Fashion designers.

3. The traditional office is becoming redundant due to the following EXCEPT .

A. mobile communications B. the misery of a daily commute

C. heavy-duty equipment D. WiFi and cloud storage

4. What can we infer from the text?

A. Many people hate commuting daily. B. The tradition office will no longer exist.

C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency. D. Chefs can work anywhere.

One possible version:

It’s useful and necessary to discuss learning habits. Our good learning habits will make us study more easily and efficiently and absorb knowledge completely.

Time is precious for us students, so in my opinion, making a suitable timetable is necessary and important for us to make good use of our time. Besides, the timetable should be updated according to the process of our study from time to time. What’s more, once the timetable is made, we should follow it strictly.

But in fact, I often don’t quite follow my timetsble because of some reasons. For example, playing football and watching TV take up much of my spare time. So I think we should have our parents or someone else supervise us every day. A good learning habit is the key to success. To have a good learning habit is simple. Just make good use of your time!
