Today we are developing a new idea—Money is the measure of all things. More and more, people are being judged by what they own, and not by their good qualities. This is certainly true among many people in China.
According to a survey that was done in 2013, China is the most materialistic(物欲的) country in the world. Twenty-three percent of Chinese said they measured success by the things they owned (cars, homes, jewelry, designer clothes) compared with just 21 percent in America, 20 percent in Canada, and 16 percent in Britain.
This love of materialistic has spread into schools where some kids like to show off their Apple Watches, iPhone7 and expensive running shoes. Some poorer students now feel worried by their richer classmates and sad by their poor families. In some cases this has affected their performance in school.
But having rich parents doesn't automatically(自動地) bring good grades and having poor parents doesn't certainly bring bad grades. It is hard wok that is the key to success, not the cost of your running shoes. And hard work is what develops good characters, not money, that should be the measure of all things.
(1)What is the measure of all things for many people in China?
A.Success.
B.The good quality.
C.The good grades.
D.Money.
(2)According to the survey, how many Chinese judged success by the things they owned?
A.23% of Chinese.
B.21% of Chinese.
C.20% of Chinese.
D.16% of Chinese.
(3)Why do some students like showing off expensive things in school?
A.Because their families are very rich.
B.Because of the worship of materialism.
C.Because expensive things can bring good grades.
D.Because they are good at all kinds of subjects.
(4)What can we infer from the passage?
A.Poor students can hardly get good grades.
B.Rich students have the worship of materialism.
C.We should correct the worship of materialism.
D.Canadians have the least the worship of materialism in rate.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)A
(3)B
(4)C

【題目】閱讀短文,回答問題。
Some time ago, an old businessman had a large store in Boston. He wanted a boy to work for him, and he put an advertisement in the newspapers. The next morning, many boys came to the old man's office, asking for the job.
There was a post(柱子)by his desk, and there was a nail in it. He took a walking stick and said, “Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit that nail(釘子)on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job.”
The boys thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, “I'm sorry I can't take any of you,” and they left.
He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.
“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again.”
The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.

(2)What did the old man have in Boston?
(3)Where did the boy practice hitting a nail?

【題目】閱讀理解
Do you look like your name? Scientists say there's a good chance you do.
This comes from a new study published in a magazine. Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial (面部的) appearances.
Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university, along with her team, did eight different experiments (實(shí)驗(yàn)) in Israel and France. The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions: whether people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.
During the experiments, researchers asked students to look at photos of people's faces and guess each person's name from a list of four choices. They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time, which was better than the 25 percent of a random (隨機(jī)的) guess.
What's more, when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country, they were able to best match the faces to the names. French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.
Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it, to match their names. One study especially backed up this idea, showing that a hairstyle, something that can be changed by people easily, was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.
“Earlier research has shown there are cultural stereotypes (偏見) carried by names, including how someone should look. For example, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, influence people's facial appearances,” Zwebner said.
The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.
“If a name can influence appearance, it can influence many other things. This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children,” said Zwebner, who recently had a baby herself.
“As parents, it was really difficult for us to name our 12-day-old daughter as we know the meanings of names.”
(1)One of the purposes of the experiments is to_.
A.give the students a chance to know each other
B.explain what influences our facial appearances
C.find out different characteristics carried by different names
D.see if people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face
(2)People could match the faces to the names more easily.
A.when they did a random guess
B.when the faces are from other countries
C.when the faces are from their own country
D.when they have more knowledge themselves
(3)The underlined part “backed up” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “ ”.
A.supported
B.changed
C.compared
D.cancelled
(4)Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 are mainly to show.
A.the results of changing names
B.names have something to do with appearances
C.the importance of cultural stereotypes carried by names
D.the importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks
(5)According to Zwebner, we know that.
A.facial appearances may influence names
B.we shouldn't think of others just according to their names
C.a name may influence many things and should be well chosen
D.we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves
