new generation of companies is selling some approximation(

) of virtual immortality, which


gives people the opportunity to preserve one's legacy(

I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question:


What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?




Our


teacher


walked


around


the


comer


with


a


GREEN


ELEPHANT


TIE


that


matched


his


large


elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts



a green elephant tie!




With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, “Good morning, folks!” He was


strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had


ever met.



I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music


lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward


the sound of… Feter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”.



Snickers


(窃笑)


filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were


these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was


a discovery. An awakening.



Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts


as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder



what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.



I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher


And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on



as I've carried on


the legacy


(遗产)


of Mr. Miller.




One

dared


to

Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, are


destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences. Now we


have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary


support from nature to lead healthy lives.




Gardening


is


always


an


excellent


and


environmentally


friendly


idea.


If


you


can


go


for


sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for


many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation.



When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients to grow plants. Some of them are


natural


resources


like


water,


soil,


sunshine,


and


many


things


like


this.


Using


these


resources


smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and


organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try


using


less


energy


to


drive


devices;


avoid


using


plastics


in


any


form


while


gardening;


reuse


the


leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we


need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper


resources without wasting any of them.



In today's busy life we don't get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a


chance to do so. We can also have some pesticide-free and fresh food if we grow them in our


garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is


one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but you're not sure how? Click here:

Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these


can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what's


been called the “sharing economy”.




Perhaps


the


best- known


example


of


a


company


in


this


field


is


Airbnb---an


American


web


business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in


34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 seems to have concerned the market!



A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark's founder, Anthony Eskinazi,


says,“When I had the original idea, Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have


been


so


convenient


if


I


could


have


just


parked


in


that


driveway


rather


than


in


commercial


car


park.” And he has a big clientele


(客户)


:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on


the site, and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar


things,


like


Uber


and


Lyft---these


let


drivers


share


their


cars


with


other


passengers.


Any


driver


knows


how


valuable


a


place


to


park


is


.A


church


near


Kings


Cross


in


central


London


has


apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!



Because this is a new business world, those rules aren't there yet and many people are happy


to share...as long as it pays!



But the sharing economy has its critics: the competitors of these new companies. People who


run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out


of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new business are unclear. How will


renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?




1



Wha t does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?



A. Lacking in money


B. Full of curiosity



C. Willing to help others


D. Unsatisfied with their life




2



Who may be against the sharing economy?



A. A taxi driver who can't find a parking place B. A priest in the church near Kings Cross



C. A traveller who needs accomodiation


D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel




3



Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?



A. They can gain huge profits B. They needn't pay any fee



C. There are few rules to limit them D. The new business has no risks




4



Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?



A. Creative and developed


B. Competitive but unpractical



C. Effective and worrying


D. Traditional and acceptable

【分析】本文是一片应用文 ,介绍了一些能够获益的方法与例子.文中通过几个


例子告诉我们只要能够用心观察每一 处的机会,你就会成功从中获益。




1


)考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的


“Both


of


these


can


help


you


make


money”

feeling


the pinch


指的是那些缺钱的人出租自己的东西来获取 利润。故选


A

)考查细节理解。在第二和第三段举了很多出租自己物 品的例子,如:出租车司机,教


堂里的牧师,旅行者。一家住房率很高的知名酒店肯定不 需要共享。故选


D

)考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段


“Because


this


is


a


new


business


world



those


rules


aren't there yet and many people are happy to share-


as long as it pays!”


这句话告诉我们这种共


享经济由于是 新事物而且没有规则约束,受到很多人的欢迎。故选


C





4


)考查推理判 断。文章介绍里一种出租自己闲置物品的赚钱途径即共享经济,可以带来


利益,但在最后 一段中的

Effective but worrying< /p>

Taking on the task of producing a short movie might seem like an impossible feat, but


if you


can assemble a good team and if you break down each stage of production into small blocks of


tasks, you'll come to realize that producing a small- scale movie isn't too bad. Just follow these


steps and you'll be on your way to Kevin Smith-like fame in no time.



Assemble a production crew. If you run out of friends or people you can get to work for screen


credit, offer people “points”, which is a percentage of the movie profits.




Get


a


director


of


photography.


You


need


someone


who


knows


a


lot


about


films


cameras


to


make the movie come out right. Local film schools are the best place to find them.



Assemble the props and costumes. Costume shops and local theater groups can definitely help


you here. But you can also borrow from friends and family or check out thrift stores for bargains.



Choose filming locations. Make sure you have permission from the owners of the property you


choose to film on.



Get the film processed. Find the right processor with the help of your director of photography.


You may need to send the film to Los Angeles for this.



Edit the film. You need to find someone who can transfer your film to video and arrange the


completed scenes in the right order. You can likely find one in the same place as your director of


photography,



Obviously, this is just a basic overview



the thing about producing a short independent movie


is that the whole process is unpredictable. You can only set yourself up for the basics, but as long


as you know things will go wrong every day, at least you'll be prepared to deal with the difficulties.

Numerous ruins scattered throughout the territory offer a constant reminder of the area's history,


which makes the city always be a fascinating place for tourists.



With the development of the city and more and more people moving, the city has expanded


several times in size. That is why it is called New Delhi. New Delhi, a city with a population of over

from


the


pollutants emitted from cars and coal-based power plants, swirling dust from construction sites


and roads and smoke from crop stubble burning in neighboring states. Fireworks and firecrackers


to celebrate the Hindu festival of Diwali then arrives, leaving Delhi the world's most polluted city.




The


city's


air

index,


which


measures


a


mix


of


dangerous


pollutants,


registered


an


average score of 494 Sunday. That is the highest 24-hour average since Nov. 6, 2016, when it hit
