Recently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him．His team was facing adversity(逆境)on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment—it was the opponent’s home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan’s team was trailing(落后)for three quarters of the game．As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day．
During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time—I am confident in my experience and abilities．This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son．
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing．I saw the determination on his，as well as his teammates’faces as they fought back to not only tie the game(平局)，but then go ahead by three points．Then，a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again．With a tie game and seconds on the clock，Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence，he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him．The other player was called for a foul(犯规)．
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points，I saw the focus and determination on his face，there was no room for self doubt．Nathan was able to turn out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill，it was as if he had done it a thousand times．
As I sat there，my heart bursting with pride，it dawned on me．I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity，and he had just taught me the same lesson．That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court．He will play in the finals，but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses，at this moment，we both won．

‘There’s no place like home．’This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head．And for many young adults，it's the only affordable place to stay；somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad．But this comes at a price!
In some countries，it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents，but in other places，flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable．But there’s been a growing trend，in the UK at least，for young people to return home to live—or not to leave home at a11．
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18％of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt，compared with 8％last year．More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn’t afford their rent compared with the previous year．So，it’s easy to see why they’re increasingly becoming home birds．
The BBC’s Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts．But for the‘hoteliers’，that’s mum and dad，the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply，and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their‘big kids’．Emma Craig from Money supermarket says“they’re trying to look after their children more．If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute．It tugs on your heartstrings more．”
With parents splashing out around￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring，it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home．That’s before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who’11 be checking into the hotel of mum and dad！
8．Which proverb might present the young British’s living conditions?
A．A lazy youth，an awful age．
B．East or west，home is best．
C．Two heads are better than one．
D．Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man．
9．Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds?
A．The popularity of living independently．
B．Looking after their old parents．
C．The increase of unemployment rate．
D．Their parents’financial offer．
10．What’s Emma Craig’s attitude towards home birds?
A．Doubtful． B．Uncertain． C．Objective． D．Understandable．
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Returning to live with parents comes at a price．
B．Parents are willing to receive their returning children．
C．Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D．Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents．

A company called Compass Pools has some good news for height and swimming enthusiasts. Recently，the company announced their novel design—a first of its kind 360-degree pool which is set to be placed on a skyscraper in London．The Infinity London will be the first and only building in the world to include this cutting-edge pool design．The pool will be laid on top of a 55-story skyscraper and will allow people to float over 200 meters above the London skyline with unobstructed(无障碍)views of the city．
The entrance to the pool is hidden．People began to raise questions about how anyone would get inside the poo1．Compass Pools explains：“Swimmers will access the pool through a rotating spiral(螺旋)staircase based on the door of a submarine，rising from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out．”
But that is not the only unique technology of the poo1．The designers found a way to make sure the wind doesn't blow the water down to the streets．They included a built-in anemometer(风力计)to monitor the wind speed．It is linked to a computer-controlled building management system which will also take care of the temperature of the water．
Alex Kemsley promises that this unique pool will surpass everyone’s expectations.“Swimming in the SkyPool at The Shard，it's quite a strange feeling to have helicopters flying past at your level but this pool takes it a step further，”he says．“Putting your goggles(防水镜)on and with a 360-degree view of London from 220m up，it really will be something else—but it’s definitely not one for the acrophobic(恐高)!”
While the exact date of the construction is not clear yet，if things go well，it may begin in 2020．The location has yet to be confirmed too．
12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．The Infinity London is the only building to swim in．
B．Swimmers can enjoy the views of London in the poo1．
C．The pool is located on the first floor of a skyscraper．
D．Compass Pools has built many 360-degree pools in the world．
13．What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The pool floor． B．A built-in anemometer．
C．The door of a submarine． D．The entrance to the poo1．
14．Who might not be suitable to swim in the SkyPool?
A．People who enjoy flying．
B．People who lose weight．
C．People who fear heights．
D．People who have poor sight．
15．What can we know about the SkyPool at The Shard?
A．It is not certain when people can swim in it．
B．Its exact location of the construction is clear．
C．Swimmers can expect its designs easily．
D．It’s impossible to monitor the temperature of the water．

阅读下面短文．从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers，at least so far．Data leaks，surveillance(监视)worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious． 16 Fortunately，there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air．These tips can help you deal with these troubles．
17 “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re traveling to somewhere，reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty，”says Danny McLoughlin．“That puts your security at risk．”Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos．
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras．Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices．If the rental comes with cameras，ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep．18
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data，you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble．19
But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel．For example，a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in．You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking the employee to write your room number on a piece of paper．Why? 20 Just to be sure，never leave the customer copy behind．You can destroy it later，but keep it under your contro1．
A．It’s never been better．
B．Perhaps they should be．
C．Travelers say they’re taking privacy seriously．
D．Never broadcast your journey on social media．
E．There are other people on the other side of the wall．
F．Some travelers only offer the bare minimum，such as a P．O．box instead of a home address．
G．Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear， leave．
