11.One of my most surprising findings as a student is  (25)that parents do not always accept your adulthood.I was always told that once you get to college,your parents realize that you have been living (26)on your own and can make your own decisions.This idea was rejected (27)whenI came home for Thanksgiving.At first,everything was going as(28)smoothly (smoothly) as possible.The first night I went to the Berkeley campus to visit my friend Sara,without any argument from my mother.

16.Many little girls like flowers,watching butterflies and riding small horses.A lot of them also like cars,robots and spaceships.But most girls'clothing only has pictures of flowers,butterflies or horses.
Two mothers decided to make clothes that include all the things that little girls do and love.
Six-year-old Bella loves to play with cars.So her dress has pictures of cars on it.
"We haven't found this type of dress in the store,"Cathy,Bella's mother,says.
The car dress is from a new girl's clothing line called Princess Awesome.Rebecca Melsky set up the business.She says its products for girls have some designs normally found on boys'clothes.
It all started two years ago when Rebecca was hoping to buy clothing for her two-year-old,who liked robots,trucks and spaceships.
"One day when I walked through a girls'store,I thought to myself I wish they'd make one of those beautiful dresses that also have a robot on it because she will love that.And I thought someone should do that.Maybe I should do that,"Rebecca,said.
Her friend Eva St.Clair believed she should,and their business was born.The women sold the first 70 dresses they made at a market.So they decided to expand their business online.Their products sold very well there,too.
"They sold out so fast that I could not make them fast enough.We decided it was time to think about a factory,"Rebecca said.
So they started to raise money from people over the Internet.The women raised more than 215,000 within days,far more than the 35,000 they expected.
"Our biggest challenge is going to be how we expand as rapidly as people seem to want us to,"Rebecca said.
The women hope Princess Awesome will expand into products for girls of all ages and all interests.
21.Princess Awesome was startedD.
A.by Cathy and Rebecca

6.Did you ever have that moment as a kid when you wished your drawings would come to life?Dream no more.A new company has developed a technology instead of just an idea on paper that allows you to do that.People can turn doodles (涂鴉) into 3-D objects thanks to the 3Doodles pen,the world's first 3-D printing pen.
The 3Doodle pen starts out like any other kind of pen.You begin by drawing normally,with the nib (筆尖) pressed to paper,but then you lift it in the air and the pen keeps drawing.As you draw,hot plastic comes out of the pen,cools down by a small fan contained in the nib and becomes a solid strand (線).
Created by Wobble Works,this pen is quite different from a 3-D printer.For example,this pen requires no computers or image files,and it can be used to create anything a person can dream up.How about a bicycle or a bird?Or what about a small Eiffel Tower?The 3Doodle pen can be used to create all these things.
"We wanted to design a 3-D printing device that could be used within minutes,without needing any technical knowledge,software or computers.We also wanted it to be affordable as well as fun,"said Peter Dilworth,co-founder of Wobble Works.
"We could in theory use the pen to melt sticks of sugar,"3Doodle spokesman Daniel Cowen said.
In the 3Doodler Kick-Starter Campaign,Wobble Works raised more than 5million dollars to make the product a reality!So why not get one and make your drawings come to life?
24.Which is TRUE about the 3Doodle pen?D
A.It's the world's first 3-D printer.
B.It works like any other kind of pen.
C.It allows you to doodle everywhere.
D.It makes it possible to draw 3-D objects.
25.What can we infer from the passage?B
A.Peter Dilworth is the only creator of the 3Doodle pen.
B.The 3-D printer works with computers and image files.
C.The 3Doodle pen can be used to melt sticks of sugar now.
D.More money will be raised in order to produce the 3Doodle pen.
26.Which is NOT the characteristic of the 3Doodle pen?A
A.Expensive.B.Interesting.C.New.D.Unusual.
27.What might be the best title for the passage?D
A.Get your drawing hand ready
B.Advantages of the 3Doodle pen
C.Magic 3Doodle pen in the future.

12.As we drove along,my spirits went up again,and I turned,with pleasure,to the thought of the new life which I was entering.But though it was not far past the middle of September,the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one,so that it was nearly one o'clock before we reached the place of our destination.Yet when we entered the gateway,my heart failed me,and I wished it were a mile or two farther off.For the first time in my life I must stand alone:there was no retreating now.I must enter that house,and introduce myself among its strange people.But how was it to be done?True,I was near nineteen; but,thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister,I well knew that many a girl of fifteen,or under,was gifted with a more womanly address,and greater ease and self-possession,than I was.Yet,anyway.I would do very well,after all; and the children,of course,I should soon be at ease with them.
"Be calm,be calm,whatever happens,"I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs.Bloomfield,I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.
With due politeness,however,she showed me my bedroom,and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room.Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these,she sat opposite,watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation-consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks.In fact,my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner:not from appetite,but from the toughness of the beefsteaks,and the numbness of my hands.
"I have had so little time to attend to their education myself,but I think they are clever children,and very willing to learn,especially the little boy; he is,I think,the flower of the flock-a generous,noble-spirited boy,one to be led,but not driven,and remarkable for always speaking the truth.""His sister Mary Ann will require watching,"continued she,"but she is a very good girl on the whole,though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible,as she is now almost six years old,and might acquire bad habits from the nurses.I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room,and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing,and take charge of her clothes,she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid."
I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room.Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven.Mary was a tall girl,for her age of six,somewhat dark like her mother.The second sister was Fanny,a very pretty little girl,looking little younger than Mary.The remaining one was Harriet,a little broad,fat,merry,playful thing of scarcely two,whom I had more desire for than all the rest-but with her I had nothing to do.

67.Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs.Bloomfield's home?A
A.She was nervous,dissatisfied with her manners but still confident.
B.She was cold,hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.
C.She was frightened,nervous and regretful about her decision.
D.She was calm,confident and very happy with all the family.
68.What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?D
A.A nursery maid.  B.A house cleaner.  C.A home cook.  D.A family teacher.
69.Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage?A
A.The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold.
B.The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs.Bloomfield's words.
C.All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.
D.All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself.
70.From the passage,we can infer thatC.
A.Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lot
B.The youngest girl Harriet would be the writer's favourite student
C.the writer would take on more responsibilities than she should
D.Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children.
