Seed（种子）of Kindness
Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled （吹口哨）to his dog happily and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
7
“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you anymore.” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!” 45. Who was Jim’s only friend? A. The dog.
B. The businessman. D. The gentleman.
C. The young lady.

48. Which of the following is True according to the passage? A. Jim usually had many friends around him. B. Jim often washed his dirty face in the lake. C. Jim never took good care of his friend, Tige.
D. Jim thought the woman planted in him the first seed of kindness.
C
This is a story about a boy called Sparky. For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He got a zero in physics. It made him the worst physics student in the school’s history. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he tried to join the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match.
8
He didn’t have friends, either. Other kids didn’t care about him. If a classmate said “Hello” to Sparky outside of school, he would feel very surprised. Sparky was a loser and everyone knew it. So he accepted (承认) it.
But one thing was important to Sparky-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. In senior high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors (编辑) of the yearbook but he was refused. Sparky was hurt. But he didn’t lose hope because he believed in his ability and he stuck to drawing. He decided to become a professional (专业的) artist.
He wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Studios after graduating from high school. The studio asked him to draw some cartoons on a certain subject. Sparky spent a lot of time on the cartoons. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios: they aren’t like cartoons. Was it time to stop drawing? Sparky didn’t think so. He started to put his own life in the cartoons. He created his childhood self-a little boy loser: Charlie Brown. He wasn’t good at football. But Charlie Brown would soon become famous worldwide. Sparky, the boy who used to fail in school and who was refused again and again, was Charles Schulz. He created the Peanuts comic strip and the world-famous cartoon characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy. 49. Which of the following about Sparky is True? A. He did well in his subjects.
B. He got a good grade in physics.
C. He didn’t accept he was a loser. D. He didn’t lose the hope of drawing 50. The underlined words “stuck to drawing” (in paragraph 4) most probably mean _____. A. Stopped drawing
B. Gave up drawing
C. Kept on drawing D. Refused to draw 51. Who is Charlie Schulz according to the passage? A. An editor of Walt Disney studios. B. The boy who used to fail in school. C. The boy who was good at everything. D. The boy who was weak in everything. 52. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Stick to Your Dream. B. A Cartoon Character. C. A Professional Artist. D. How to Be an Artist.

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung (三星) CEO BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).
So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize people’s faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices (装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.
So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think. 53. The Samsung CEO’s speech is mentioned to prove that______. A. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently B. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner C. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things D. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things
