• 2．My name is Sara.When I was little，I played the drums.I also had a guitar.In fourth grade，I started playing the trombone（長(zhǎng)號(hào)）.I practised about four hours a week.All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids，but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others.I was born without hands .Since I was about one year old，I've worn prosthetics（假肢）.
     This year，I got an invitation to join the high school marching band（行進(jìn)管樂(lè)隊(duì)）I told my mom I wanted to do it.But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band--not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade，but probably because my body was different.All I wanted was to show that I could do it，so I joined the band.And it paid off!
     Music gives me energy.That happens sometimes.One time I was so down，I didn't even want to get out of bed.Then I hit my MP3 player by accident.A song came on，and I got up and started dancing.It helped me say to myself，"OK，I can get through today."
     Around my musician friends，we all share the same problems，like working out how many beats there are in a measure（小節(jié)）.I have a hard time counting the beats，but so do a lot of the other kids.It's a normal problem that we musicians share.When I'm with the band，I don't feel as different as I do in other situations.It's just another way that music makes me want to go on，and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
  
  （1）In what way is Sara different from other kids？

  
  A．She knows how to play many instruments.
  B．There's something wrong with her body.
  C．She learned to play the drums at a very early age.

  .
  A．believed that she would make it

• 3．I don't post recognizable pictures of my children on social media.I don't use their names.I don't put anything out there that will be really embarrassing for them in later life.
     The reason for not posting pictures is that I feel a person's pictures should be his or her own.It's not good for me to push my kids out into the wilds of the Web before they're ready，and understand what it all means.
     When the time comes，they're more than welcome to use social media.But for now，I'm happy to give them a degree of separation until they can make a choice for themselves.
     This has meant extra efforts on our part when it comes to making sure that kids don't get accidentally caught up in the Internet，because the schools where they learn，like so many others up and down the country，post their pictures to social media.
     However，my husband thought I was overanxious and asked me a question about its advantages.And having thought about it for a while，I'm not 100 percent sure if there are any.
     But I could list the disadvantages：the time it takes to manage an account，often by a teacher，meaning extra work；the unavoidable difficulties in safeguarding
     It's great to see the kids doing their things in schools，but my worry is about the use of social media that doesn't give anything back to the kids，and in many ways，just turns them into another way to gain clicks.I want more than that for them.
  
  （1）Why is the author unwilling to post her kids' picture online？

  
  A．To push her kids into the wilds of the Web.
  B．To avoid being recognized.
  C．To make herself embarrassed.
  D．To protect her kids' privacy.
  （2）What's most schools' attitude towards social media？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Unfavorable.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Worried.
  （3）Why did the author's husband ask her a question？

  
  A．To prove the author is knowledgeable.
  B．To show social media has disadvantages.
  C．To advise the author to list what she thinks.
  D．To help the author solve her problem.
  （4）What will happen if schools post kids' pictures online according to the author？

  
  A．Teachers will take on extra work.
  B．Parents will have lots of things to do.
  C．Kids' safety will be protected effectively.
  D．Kids will become famous due to clicks.

• 4．British people work some of the longest hours in Europe，but are among the least productive.Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency，health and happiness.
     Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company.In fact，his entire Company has Friday off，because his firm has adopted a four-day week.It is one of several UK businesses that now operate like this：staff still get paid their previous five-day salary；but they work a day less.The company found that they achieved just as much--and there were even signs of growth."The key to the scheme's success，" Leigh says，"is how happy our employees now are."
     The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week（more often than not this is unpaid）.Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors，who tend to work fewer hours.
     British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation's health and happiness.More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year.Moreover，the work landscape itself is changing.Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market，where unsteady work becomes more common.
     Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours.For campaigners，now is the time for a change.O'Grady，an advocate argues that where businesses have increased their profits（利潤(rùn)）as a result of automation，success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours， "It's time to share the benefits from new technology，not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves." she says.
  
  （1）We can learn from the passage that

  .
  A．British people are the least productive in the world
  B．Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week
  C．PR company has witnessed a rise in employees' happiness
  D．British people work longer and get more payment than other counties
  （2）Which is the proper description of British working practices？

  
  A．The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.
  B．In productivity，Britain is beaten by the United States.
  C．Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.
  D．Automation and AI are likely to cause an unsteady work market.
  （3）Which can be inferred from O' Grady's words in the last paragraph？

  
  A．It's time for employers to share the increased profits created by automaton.
  B．Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.
  C．New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.
  D．Businesses can't make more profits without new technology.
  （4）What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？

  
  A．To introduce some British firms' switch to a four-day working week.
  B．To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.
  C．To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.
  D．To show the present productivity problem in Britain.

• 5．Secure in your home with these expert-advised Home safety keeps that turn burglars into losers.
     ◆Store valuables carefully
     Thieves already know you're storing valuables，so upgrade your secret hiding places to ones that are harder to detect. （1）

  .Thieves often search drawers in the master bedroom but tend to leave kids' rooms untouched.Just make sure it's a place your child can't easily access，like on a high closet shelf.
     ◆Install your security system in the right spot
     （2）

  ，but they also make it easy for burglars to see inside your home.Install your security keypad in a spot that is not visible from the doorstep so no one can see if your alarm is set.
     ◆（3）

  
     Knowing your house is completely unattended can make your vacation unnecessarily stressful.Whether you're going away for two weeks or just a long weekend，ask a neighbor to check daily for flyers stuck in your front door.Foxy criminals have been known to leave pizza ads in doors to see how long it takes for residents to remove them.Stopping newspapers and mail delivery for the duration of your trip is a sure way to prevent mail from piling up at your doorstep.
     ◆Pay attention to bathroom windows
     Burglars are often people you've seen before，like a serviceman working on your house.If a yard worker or unknown visitor uses the bathroom，he may open the window so he can gain entry later.（4）

  .
     ◆Join in a community-wide crime prevention program
    Cops are getting creative when it comes to catching criminals，and there are lots of opportunities for you to do your part to keep your community safe.Operation Identification is a nationwide project that encourages people to mark their property to fight against burglary and theft.（5）

  .Also look into groups like Neighborhood Watch to see how you can get involved.
  
  

  A.Let your neighbors be your eyes B.Lower the volume of your telephone finger C.Be sure to double-check that lock after this seemingly innocent person leaves D.A simple solution is keeping important documents and objects in your child's room E.Decorative glass or large windows may be important for your front entrance feng shui F.If you suspect that someone is trying to break into your home，press the "Panic" button G.In some cities，burglary rates for the system are much lower than those of non-participants
