A
“Dad,” I say one day, “let's take a trip. Why don't you fly out and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop?” asks my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don't have a watch?”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite（花岗岩）, his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable.” he says, "How was this done? "
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, "Would I ever devote my life to anything? "
“No directions, no goals.” I always used to hear those words in my father's voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask.
“Only once,” he says, “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other﹣but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence﹣it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep travelling. I realize﹣and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful.” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.”
I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
21. We can learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 that the father________.
A. followed the fashion
B. got bored with his job
C. liked the author’s collection of stamps
D. was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle
22. From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the author ________.　 　
A. hopes to give whatever he can to his father
B. learns how to communicate with his father
C. comes to understand what parental love means
D. wants his children to learn from their grandfather
23. What could be the best title for the passage?　 　
A. A Journey with Dad
B. Reflections on Nature
C. Benefits from Travelling
D. Deep Love from a Father

B
If you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning, if you find you’re text-messaging while walking, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment—you are addicted.
Don’t worry. The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
NoPhone is currently a prototype（手机模型）that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that’s when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.
David H said, “I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night terrors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic. With the NoPhone, I can still enjoy the comfort of holding a phone in my sleep, without waking up to a broken screen. Thanks, NoPhone.”
If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies anymore, don’t worry. The makers do have an update at no extra charge—the mirror sticker. That way, they say you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.
24. From the third paragraph we can infer that ________.
A. the users can stay away from the real world
B. NoPhone is a device made of high technology
C. NoPhone has not been on the market at present
D the makers are raising money to improve their technology
25. What made the designers surprised was that ________.
A. people worldwide were interested in NoPhone
B. many people thought of the idea as a joke at first
C. people worldwide began to fund mass production
D. people in Dutch began to make NoPhone of their own
26. How can you enjoy selfies with NoPhone?
A. By updating at an extra charge.
B. By standing with your friends.
C. By taking a photo of yourself with an APP.
D. By catching sight of yourself in a pasted mirror.

C
“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 all.
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.
Emma Craig from Money supermarket says “parents are trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling to pay their bills, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs（猛拉）on your heartstrings more.”
With parents buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their children, 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’ll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
27. Which proverb might show 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.
28. Which is the reason for the increase of home birds according to the survey? 
A. The popularity of living independently.
B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The economic problem they face.
D. Their parents’ offer to help them out .
29. What's Emma Craig’s attitude towards home birds?
A. Understandable. B. Worried. C. Doubtful.  D. Uncertain.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
B. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
C. It’s easy for parents to receive their returning children.
D. Home birds think it quite natural to live with their parents.
