13、YEARS ago, a very rich man and his young son shared an interest in collecting art. They traveled around the world, collecting priceless works of art by famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet.
The man became very lonely and sad. When war broke out, the son left to serve his country. After a few weeks, the old man received a letter saying his son had died while taking another soldier to a hospital.
One day, a soldier visited the old man and gave him a painting – it was a portrait of his son.
Though the world would never consider it a great work, the painting was important to the man.
The painting of his son became the old man’s most valuable item. He told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he had ever received. The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away.
All of the old man’s paintings would be sold at an auction. The auction began with a painting that was not on any of the buyers’ lists ... it was the painting of the old man’s son.
“Who will open the price at $100 ?” the auctioneer asked. Moments passed and no one spoke or raised their hand. Someone said: “Who cares about that painting? Let’s get on to the good ones.” More voices followed in agreement. “No, we must sell this one first,” replied the auctioneer. “Now, who will take the portrait of the son?”
Finally, a good friend of the old man spoke: “Will you take $10 for the painting? That’s all I have.” “Will anyone go higher?” called the auctioneer. After more silence he said: “Going once ... going twice ... sold!” The auctioneer looked at the crowd and announced that the whole auction was over. “According to the father’s will, whoever takes the son’s portrait gets the whole collection,” the auctioneer said.

14、Molly Daniels opened the door so hard that the door nearly broke it. Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”
Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “ You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.
“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “ What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission and picked your strawberries?”
“ I would say, better her than the bees.”
“ The bees don’t take my strawberries.”
“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “ That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”
“ Are you crazy? What are you thinking?’
“ Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”

Success by failure
I had failed again． It was the day of the big marathon． I had decided three years ago to train for the half-marathon event and take home a medal． There I sat, in front of my TV, while I watched others cross the finish line． It was just another in a long string (串) of failures． I had never met a single weight loss or fitness goal and I was majoring in the art of failing．
We are a family of exploration and often plan active vacations． It seemed that on every vacation I was the one who couldn't go the distance． Each time I urged (催促) my family, "Go on without me． Bring me lots of pictures and videos． I'll be fine just sitting here taking in the view． " I lied． Sick of being left behind, I decided that it would never happen again． Sure I was in my 50s, but surely there was still hope for me． I always spent weeks walking to prepare for our active vacations． I had lost weight many times． I just always seemed to fail to get where I needed to be．
But this time I would do something different． I was going to walk a half marathon． Surely 1 would lose weight and get in shape if I could complete over 12 miles in four hours． Besides, this would be training． Training sounded cooler than diet and exercise．_______and ready to go． I bought the proper gear (装备) , checked out what type of drinks would be handed out at the marathon and prepared a lot． I had a plan!

Where was I going wrong? I stopped and considered each failure, one by one． I made some very interesting discoveries．
I had failed to climb to the top of that Mayan pyramid, but I did climb it and stood on those ancient stones． I had failed to meet a single weight loss goal and yet I had lost 43 pounds． I couldn't walk 12 miles in four hours, but I could walk 12 miles．
All my failures were sounding like a success story． This time I was giving thanks． I was thankful that I had been given the spirit of failure because failure meant that I was trying, that I didn't give up． I decided that I would be crossing the finish line next year．

16、The Spring Festival travel rush started on Friday Jan 13, 2017. It is the biggest thing for Chinese to travel in the Spring Festival. It has become the world's largest human movement every year.
During these days, billions of trips are made by travelers. The government's forecast(预测) shows the number is similar to last year's. But it is very difficult for the government to make sure the transportation goes well.
On Friday, 8.55 million trips were made on railways, 58 million by roads, 590, 000 by waterways and 1.3 million by air across the country, according to the Ministry of Transport. New services are being used during this year's travel rush to improve passengers' travel speed.

The technology compares passenger's face with the photo on ID card. Now, passengers at those stations only need to stand in front of a camera for a few seconds after putting their ID cardat a checkpoint(检查站). Many passengers experienced the technology at Guangzhou South Railway Station. They described the technology as “convenient fast and wonderful”.

17、阅读下面材料，从每题所给的三个选项（A、B和C）中，选出最佳选项。
In the months of December and January, China experienced some of the worst air pollution in its history. At times, Beijing’s Air Quality Index(AQI)was measured at 406. Any AQI reading over 150 is considered “unhealthy” and any reading over 300 is considered “hazardous.” In Shanghai, we had several days when the AQI neared 300. The PM2.5 readings were also high. PM2.5 refers to particulate (微粒的)matter smaller than 2.5 microns(微米) in diameter. These particles are small enough to get into the lungs and can cause cancer and other lung diseases.
China is now becoming acutely aware that the rush to development has come at a price and may be endangering the health of its citizens. This is something other countries have faced before. The U.K. used to be the most polluted country in the world. It wasn’t until London’s Big Smog of 1952 that people realized that air pollution was a real he
