A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85
February 12, 2014
BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press
Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10^th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.
It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.
In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’
Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.
She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.

Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

What part did she regard as the most important in her life?

Where does this passage possibly come from?

While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!
About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce” — a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?

NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _______.

The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.
But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived(剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.
According to the author, people enjoy _______ to seek nature.

From the second paragraph, we can see that _______.

In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Access to nature improves our life.
B. Nature treats children with ADHD.
C. Getting close to nature reduces crime.
D. Man can’t live without natural areas.

Do you struggle with business writing? Are teams and individuals asking for help with their business writing skills?       Since 1990,we have been helping employees and managers write better.
Everything written in business reflects the image of the company and the writer.     This means organizing ideas well, checking that the language is accurate and that the presentation is professional. Writing successfully is always the result of careful planning.
Before you start writing, you need to decide why you are writing and what you hope to achieve. This will help you decide what to include in your writing and whether to write an e-mail, a letter or perhaps a report.
Meanwhile, think about readers.      The structure of what you write can guide readers and help them understand the content of your writing so that they can respond.
While you are writing, you need to think about how you organize your ideas. Writing a report may involve presenting data and linking complex ideas; writing a memo (备忘录) may involve describing a situation and dealing with ways of improving it. You need to understand how to construct paragraphs.   
After you have finished writing comes the very important process of revising, checking and correcting.
   You will find plenty of useful information about effective business writing. In our courses, participants get tools, tips, techniques, job aids, and follow-up resources to help them write better.

E. Spelling mistakes should be checked and corrected.
F. So it is very important that writing is done to the highest standards.
G. Here comes the good news.

“Paul must have been trying to carry his waste paper to garbage can and dropped a few pieces.” I      , picking them up.          later I found more pieces. No quiet sighing this time. I      ,   “Who is throwing garbage?” No answer. Instead, I saw more bits of paper silently floating       from upstairs. Looking up, I saw my seven-year-old son, Paul.
“Stop making a mess.’’ “It’s not a mess. They’re      .” “Sorry, what did you say?” I hadn’t heard him clearly.
He didn’t answer me. Paul has autism (自闭症) and          answers a question, especially when he’s       attentively on something else. He ran down the stairs. “Where are my other butterflies?” he asked,       around. Every time Paul       five or more words together, my heart says a       of thanks. But lately he seems to       that the benefits of forming complete sentences when communicating are       of the effort.
Butterflies. Of course. I rushed to       them from the garbage,       them off and handed them to my young artist. “Want to see them       again?” he asked with a shy smile. “Oh yes! They’re beautiful.” I whispered. He ran back upstairs to float his       down again. They really did look like beautiful butterflies.
That day Paul       me to look up at       instead of down at garbage. How many other masterpieces do I miss because I’m too caught up in my       to take time to appreciate what’s right in front of me? Life is not what happens to us. It’s       we look at it. Now, I look up.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
The “selfie” is used to describe the self-taken photo, often from a smartphone. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time he does, and he only ends up      ( post) one or two of those. He picks the one that he feels make him look the       ( good). In that picture, he gains confidence. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has happened to him       ( remove), because that smile is what gives him the       ( determine) to love himself.
I read     poem recently and the young man said, “If I ask you      you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love your mom, you daughter, or your best friend. How long do you think you can go on and on before you say ‘I love     (I)’?”
That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in      way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway      confidence.     , the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.

Yesterday I stepped into a restaurant for lunch. As I was waiting my order to come, I noticed the old man in a wheel chair roll himself over to a table. No one and me seemed to notice him. I got up and go over to his table and asked if that I could get him something to drink. He smiled and said, “Thank you. You are generously. I’d like any orange juice, please.” When I was getting ready to leave, I walked by the old man’s table to saying goodbye. He thanked me again and told me I had made his days, coming over and helping him out. I gave him a hug and told him he had made my day, either.
