Facebook
Although Facebook can be one of your biggest time-wasters and distractions when you are supposed to be getting work done, it can also be one of your most valuable resources.

How much homework will that history professor give you every week? At RateMyP, students all over the country rate their professors on quality, helpfulness, and how hard their classes are.

23.(8分)We started in 1993 with a simple idea: that people could help each other by sharing stories about their lives. For years people had told our founders, motivational speakers Jack and Mark, inspiring stories about themselves. Jack and Mark included these stories in their talks, and their audiences repeatedly asked if they had ever been published.” That story about the boy and the puppy—is that in a book anywhere?” a parent asked Jack. “That story about the boy with the amputated(截肢)leg who became a tennis star, I need to read that to my staff,” a manager told him. Jack was asked repeatedly, “ Is that story in a book anywhere?”
Eventually Jack and Mark decided their audiences must be on to something, so they collected the best 101 stories they’d been told in a book. They called it Chicken Soup for the Soul because they wanted it to provide comfort just like their grandmother’s cooking.
They took the book to New York, hoping to sell it to one of the big publishers but every single one turned them down. The project appeared to have stalled until they met Peter Vegso, the owner of a small health and wellness polisher in Florida named HCI. Peter read some of the stories and loved them, so he decided to give the book a chance, becoming Chicken Soup for the Soul’s founding publisher.
Never, in Jack and Mark’s wildest dreams had they imagined what the book would become. Chicken Soup for the Soul turned into one of the most popular and loved books ever published, selling 11 million copies around the world. Readers asked for more stories so we published a “second helping” of Chicken Soup for the Soul and a third after that, Today, we’ve published more than 250 books, which have become the best-selling trade paperback book series of all time.
1、What droved Jack and Mark to publish these inspiring stores?
A.The rich source of good stories.
B.The good chance to be famous.

D.The demand of audience
2、How did the title of the book come from?
A.The taste of chicken.
B.The way of cooking

3、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “stalled” in Paragraph 3?
A.Stopped.
B.Failed.
C.Succeeded.
D.Progressed.
4、What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.The wildest dreams of two people.
B.An unexpected success of a book
C.An introduction to a series of books.
D.Calling on people to buy a best seller.
24.(8分)My dream of working in a flower shop had its roots in my grandmother's garden, always in bloom, where I made bunches with whatever I could get my hands on. However, I wasn't prepared for the people. Their stories impressed me long after I locked up for the night.
I always enjoyed reading the messages that went along with each bunch. Most were what you would expect, plenty of “I Love You” and “Get Well Soon.” We got “Happy Birthday, ” “Happy Anniversary” and “Thinking of You” requests that phone messages were written in shorthand: H.B., H.A., T.O.Y.
I would laugh at messages that seemed too sugary or boring, and it disheartened me when customers asked what their sympathy card should say. But I also understood that finding the right words can be a monumental task and that sometimes those words just happen to be the same ones everyone else is using.
I have sold flowers to single men and women; to color-blind fathers shopping with their precocious daughters, to new parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, to engaged 20-somethings and couples celebrating 50 years. I've given flowers to homeless men who have in turn given them to pretty girls in summer dresses. People buy flowers when they’re in love, in trouble, drunk, devastated, excited and sometimes for no obvious reason.
I took photos of card messages and told my favorite shop stories to co-workers, family and friends, but still so much has gotten away. Precious moments made all the more precious by the fact that they have already come and gone. Now I gauge months by what's in season: sunflowers in July, dahlias (大丽花)in August, roses and maple in October, pine in December, hyacinth(风信子) in March.
A favorite of mine is tulip magnolia(紫玉兰), the way the buds(花蕾) break into flowers and the flowers into many colors on lawns, all in a matter of weeks while it's snowing cherry blossoms. How surprisingly beautiful the life of flowers can be.
1、Why did the author like reading the messages going with the bunches?
A.They conveyed friendship, love and best wishes.
B.They reminded the author of his past.
C.They were sugary and the author found them funny.
D.They helped to attract customers to buy flowers.
2、What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.The messages were boring because of repetitions.
B.The author likes tulip magnolia because of its growing place.
C.The author found it depressing to talk about sympathy cards.
D.The author learned a lot in her grandmother's garden.
3、What does the underlined word "gauge" probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Spend. B.Forget.
C.Arrange. D.Measure.
4、What does the author learn from the flower shop?
A.She understands that everyone has a favorite flower.
B.She learns that life is more beautiful with flowers.
C.She realizes that flowers sell well with message cards.
D.She finds out that message cards are worth cherishing.
25.(10分)When asked how technology might improve the lives of people with vision impairments (视力障碍), Joann Becker presented a misleadingly simple challenge. “Well,” the vision impairments tech specialist recalls saying. “I’d like to be able to find my bus slop through Be My Eyes”.
Be My Eyes, which went live in 2015, establishes a direct video connection between visually impaired users and sighted volunteers. The assumption is simple: Many people who are blind don’t need any actual assistance in completing their daily tasks, but merely need a little help.
A sighted volunteer might be asked to help identify which of two cans contains tomatoes. In this case, the visually impaired user can cook a meal just fine on his/her own-all he/she needs is a quick confirmation that he/she has the correct can. The model appears to be working; more than 540,000 volunteers and nearly 40,000 people with low vision are registered on the app.
“An elderly woman can now help a visually impaired technician set up his computer,” says founder Hans Wiberg, who has very low vision. “She doesn’t need to know a thing about computers. She only needs to read what is presented on the screen. Then he can do the rest.”
Early assistive technology centered on dedicated devices (专用设备), because of the niche market (缝隙市场), which sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But the smartphone, multipurpose and near-universal, has completely changed the economy of scale.
“There are larger market forces driving high-powered computation, high-quality engineering and high-quality battery management in the smartphone market than those in a specialty product,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a research professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
