Tears went out of my eyes when I talked to my parents on the phone. What were they doing when I       them? This is what I want to know most. I had supper at five in the dining room. There is no need for me to cook and wash the dishes.       , now it is the        time for my parents. Dad works from seven in the morning to nine in the evening.       , all of the housework is        to my mum alone. She also has to work in the vineyard(葡萄园)        her own job.
Every day she        at 4 o’clock in the morning, and then works till dark. One day I called her at 7:30 in the evening. She told me she was        in the vineyard and hadn’t had supper yet. Tears ran down my cheeks. 
Dear mum, I’ll study hard in the university because I am your       . I’ll look after myself because I am        to you. I promise you so much but I        want you to promise me you will tend yourself and Dad because you are like my blood. I cannot        without you.
Mum has ever said that the happiest time for Dad and her is when my sister and I come home. We play cards in the room, watch TV or do        else we like, with Dad and Mum        delicious food in the kitchen. It is        the happiest time for me. I could        all the difficulties and unhappiness. The        thing to do is to enjoy the time with my parents.
       , sometimes, doesnt need many words. Love your parents as they love you. Give them a        and tell them you        them.

Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love. You have to ____ to it. You open the pages knowing a little bit about it, maybe from the back or from a blurb(宣传信息)on the front. But who ____, right? Those bits and pieces aren’t always right.
Sometimes people ____ themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that they’re something completely different. Either there was some good marketing ____ to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a(n) ____ way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize there’s so much more to this book than anyone could ever have told you.
You start off slow. The story is beginning to ____. You’re unsure. It’s a big commitment reading this tome(巨著). Maybe this book won’t be that great but you’ll feel ____ about putting it down. Maybe it’ll be so awful you’ll set it down immediately and never pick it up again.

Maybe you’re ____. You’ve read tons of books before. Maybe you’ve taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just weren’t ____ it. Do they even write new, great works of literature anymore? Maybe it’s a once in a lifetime feeling and you’re never going to find it again.
Or something ____ could happen. Maybe this will become your new favorite book. There’s always a possibility, right? That’s the ____ of risk. You ____ your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is a new understanding and pure wonder.
How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character. It’s like they’re seeing inside your ____. This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just ____ for you to pick it up. It was waiting to speak to you. To say, “You are not ____.”
You just want more of the story. You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author has ever ____. You wish it would never end.

How do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work? A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.
"Previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity," notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase "as a gift—that is, as something you"ve chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached."
Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by oDesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. All of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs.
The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase.
Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced more—about 20% more—than either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. Interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didn"t promote productivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3.
To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.
"The key thing is how you present [the reason for an increase]," he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most "if you make it clear that the pay raise is something you"re choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, they"ll do something nice back."   
小题1:Which of the following is true about the research?
A.None of the participants earned more than $4 an hour in previous jobs.
B.89 of the participants got a $1 wage raise for their high productivity.
C.It was so important that the budget for it was increased in the process.
D.Stamina shown in it was positively related to the amount of money paid.
小题2:What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean?
A.The quality of being intelligent or clever.
B.The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.
C.The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity for a long time.
D.A particular method of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.
小题3:Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups?
A.Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups.
B.Because they were experienced employees from developing countries.
C.Because an unexpected raise reminded them of their previous work.
D.Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.
小题4:What can we infer from this passage?
A.No pains, no gains.
B.It matters not what we give but how.
C.Honesty is the best policy.
D.Actions speak louder than words.

Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational(不理智的) demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish. ___________A____________. After all, take a look at these events: imperialism(帝国主义)and colonization(殖民主义), world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who"s responsible? Adults.
   Now, what have kids done? ___________B____________. Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust (大屠***), Ruby Bridges helped end segregation(隔离) in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. We are called childish so often by adults that we should abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.
   Then again, who"s to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren"t exactly what the world needs? Maybe you"ve had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That"s impossible or that costs too much or that won"t benefit me. For better or worse, we kids aren"t hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. ___________C____________. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were free kind of utopia(乌托邦). How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. ___________D____________. And that"s a good thing because in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
Now, our inborn wisdom doesn"t have to be insiders" knowledge. Kids already do a lot of learning from adults, and we have a lot to share. I think that adults should start learning from kids. Now, I do most of my speaking in front of an education crowd, teachers and students, and I like this analogy. It shouldn"t just be a teacher at the head of the classroom telling students to do this, do that. The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. Now, if you don"t trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right. If I doubt my older sister"s ability to pay back the 10 percent interest I established on her last loan, I"m going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she pays it back.
True story, by the way. Now, adults seem to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every "don"t do that," "don"t do this" in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet use. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.
Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make the match?  
小题1:Where should the sentence “This really bothers me.” be put in the passage?
A. In blank A.                          B. In blank B.     
C. In blank C.                      D. In blank D.
小题2:What does the speaker think is the root cause why adults call kids childish?
A.That kids like being called that way.
B.That adults are more irresponsible than kids.
C.That kids often make irrational demands.
D.That adults are driven by age-discrimination against kids.
小题3: Which of the following least explains kids’ advantage over adults based on the speaker?
A.Younger age.B.Irrational thinking.
C.Knowledge of history.D.Excess restrictions.
小题4:What is the best title of this passage?
A.Don’t Be Childish again, Adults!
B.Time to Listen and Learn from Us!
C.Don’t Do That, Don’t Do This!
D.We Are Not Young Any More!
