1．On a Friday night in New York，a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station，playing the violin.The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat.
The next day，Jay came again.He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground.Then he began playing.It seemed more pleasant to listen to.Before long，many people came，looking at the paper.It said， "Last night，a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat.Please come to claim （认领）it soon."
Seeing this，people wondered what it could be.After about half an hour，a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said， "I'm the George.I knew you'd surely come here!"
Then George explained the whole story.He bought a lottery ticket（彩票） a few days ago.Yesterday he found that he won a prize of ﹩500，000.He was very excited.On his way home，he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out ﹩100 and put it on the hat.However，the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.
Jay was a student at an art school in Paris.He had booked the flight and would fly that morning.However，when he happened to find the ticket holder had won the lottery，he cancelled （取消）the flight and came back to the subway station.
Later someone asked Jay，" Why didn't you take the lottery ticket for yourself？" He said， "Although I don't have much money，I live happily；but if I lose honesty，I won't be happy forever."

2．There may be a reason why astronauts are crazy about the view from space but never mention the food.Astronauts aboard the International Space Station must drink meals out of a plastic squeeze-bag because of zero gravity.Food in space can only be reheated instead of being cooked fresh.Besides，meals for each crew member must be stored in advance and eaten in order.All of this may sound a little difficult to accept.
Therefore，it was one small step for interstellar （星际的） cuisine when U.S.astronaut Megan McArthur recently posted photos of herself holding a pancakes stuffed with beef，tomatoes and a fresh hatch chilli grown aboard the International Space Station itself.
"Best space pancakes yet." She shared online.
Pesquet，a French astronaut，posted on Instagram， "It is such a joy to grow （and eat） your own food，and necessary for further exploration of our Solar System." It seems there is a suitcase-sized space garden aboard the ISS （International Space Station） that holds about six "pillows" stuffed with clay and fertilizer，and a LED light.Astronauts have grown several kinds of vegetables including Chinese cabbage and red Russian kale （羽衣甘蓝） in this micro-plot，to test which plants might grow best during a long space voyage.
We called Melva Aguirre，who owns the Pepper Pot in Hatch，N.M.，home of hatch chilli.She says the harvest of their famous local crop in outer space is the talk of the town. "Now the whole universe knows how great our chilli are，" she said.When I asked if she could recommend a hatch chilli recipe，Aguirre told me， "Just stuff it." "Stuff it？" I asked，and she laughed and said， "I mean，in your mouth." A recipe even I can follow.
（1）From the first paragraph，we can know that.
A．Astronauts are crazy about the food they eat in the space station
B．The food in the space station can be cooked in various ways
C．Astronauts aboard the space station can't have meals as they wish
D．Astronauts don't care about what they eat in the space station

B．The Best Food Ever for Space Voyages.
C．Fine Dining on the International Space Station.
D．The Constant Steps of Human's Space Exploration.组卷：0引用：2难度：0.5 -
3．Smile，please.You're on camera.This is not a joke.It seems that there are now more cameras than human beings in your community.I used to be annoyed when my children came into the toilet when I was using it.Now I worry about them coming in with camera phones.The last time it happened，I shouted， "I hope you're not filming this for You Tube. " They replied， "Of course not，that's not so last month. "
Escaping to a bar，I complained about this camera-filled world and many listeners shared their stories.
A Londoner told me about a woman in England who threw a cat in the street.When the surveillance（监视）video went public，she received so many death threats that she needed police protection.It seems that，if you cause an animal some pain，the population rises up to beat you to death.
A man from New York told a story of how a truck had knocked a tree down.A 23-year-old woman was hurt in the accident.However，a surveillance camera revealed that she had thrown herself down on purpose to get money from the driver. "You have to admit，the camera was the hero in that story， " the New Yorker said.
Of course，there are disadvantages，too，the Londoner added，explaining that the UK now had about four million surveillance cameras. "I feel like cameras are looking at me all the time." he said.
However，my attitude really changed after someone suggested： "If you had a large body of filmed work，why not register（登记）as an actor？ " So I phoned a friend and got to know that all film or video actors with speaking parts could earn at least ＄782 per day.
Woohoo!Now if you'll excuse me，I need to go and do some "stupid dad tricks" at home.
（1）What can we learn from paragraph 1？
A．The author doesn't like telling a joke on camera.
B．The author's children didn't film anything for You Tube.
C．The author's children bought camera phones last month.
D．The author thinks there are too many cameras in our lives.
（2）The man from New York thought surveillance cameras sometimes.
A．disturbed people's everyday life
B．recorded the behavior of the heroes
C．helped people out of trouble
D．reduced traffic accidents
（3）The underlined sentence shows the Londoner means that he.
A．will never throw a cat in the street
B．will never make threats against people
C．has to avoid cameras wherever he goes
D．hates being watched with close attention
（4）We can infer that after the author returns home，he will probably.
A．make videos of himself
B．register his kids as actors
C．play tricks on his kids
D．visit his friend组卷：7引用：1难度：0.6 -

•Carefully read the confirmation email，as each tutor offers slightly different instructions about preparing for appointments.
What to Expect
Many tutors will read your paper in advance，although a few prefer that you do that work together.Either way，most sessions will start with the tutor asking you what you hope to accomplish，which might include questions about the assignment or a discussion of your experience writing similar papers.The tutor will then discuss the most important areas for revision.Tutors won't tell you exactly what to do to fix your essay，but they will help you figure out strategies for revision and prompt you to take notes on the suggestions that arise.Often the most important changes involve the primary claims of the paper or the structure of your argument.
Writing Tutors can also help you with grammar and style，although not by proof reading your whole essay；instead，the two of you might edit a paragraph together，looking for suggestions that you can then incorporate into the rest of your paper.
If you have worked with the same tutor before，there will be more time to discuss general trends in your writing，or to work quickly through basic concerns and move on to specific needs of the current paper.One benefit of the Residential College Writing Tutors is the opportunity to work over several years with someone who knows your writing well.

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Yoghurt It was a rough week.The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine.We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week，and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal.I was stressed，to say the least.I shopped strategically，looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week.He wanted a special kind of yoghurt，but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him.It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box，and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup.It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion，as if to say，"It's just yoghurt.What's the big deal？" So I found a way.I put something back as single mothers often do.He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store，I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road.My heart hurt，and I tried not to look at him.I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes.My son didn't seem to care much，either.I looked at the man closely then- bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard，snot（鼻涕）frozen to his face，a worn-out jacket.And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries.But I decided to help.I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Paragraph 1：
Seeing this，my son became confused and surprised. _______
Paragraph 2：
On that day，my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. ________组卷：8引用：2难度：0.5
