Recently,as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team,I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(逆境)on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters,and Nathan's team was trailing(落后)for three quarters of the game. As for me,I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day.
During my drive home,I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities. This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing. I saw the determination on his,as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game(平局),but then go ahead by three points. Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock,Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence,he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规).
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points,I saw the focus and determination on his face,there was no room for self doubt. Nathan was able to turn out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill,it was as if he had done it a thousand times.
As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride,it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals,but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses,at this moment,we both won.

For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Instagram. Not long ago, the 11-year-old girl discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life. “I’ve wanted to bring it up. It’s strange to see myself up there, and sometimes there are pictures I don’t like of myself,” she said.
Like most other modern kids, Cara grew up under the influence of social media. Facebook, Twiter and YouTube were all founded before she was born. Instagram has been around since she was a toddler (学步儿童). While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their parents, schools, sports teams have been organizing an online presence for them since birth. It is a shock to know that details about their lives have been shared online without their permission or knowledge. And this has become a common experience for many teenagers.
Recently a parenting blogger (博主)said that despite her 14-year-old daughter’s horror at discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about her online, she simply could not stop doing it.
But it’s not just crazy mommy bloggers who share their children’s information on social media. Plenty of average parents do the same. There’s even a special word for it: sharenting (晒娃). Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their prenatal sonogram scans (产前超声波扫描) to the Internet, according to a study conducted by the Internet-security firm AVG. The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own unique digital identity.
8. How does Cara feel about her mom’s behavior?
A. It’s supportive. B. It’s appropriate.
C. It’s annoying. D. It’s favorable.
9. Who is most likely to share children’s information?
A. A quarter of students. B. Some crazy doctors.
C. Kids under the age of 2. D. Many ordinary parents.
10. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Fathers don’t like to share their kids’ information on social media.
B. 25% of children begin their digital lives before they are born.
C. The word “sharenting” can be found 10 years ago.
D. AVG is the name of an internet company.
11. What can be a suitable title for the article?
A. Growing up on the Internet B. A New Term Born
C. Parents Addicted to Blogging D. The Children’s Horror

Some cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech owing to bias (偏见) and accuracy concerns. Police departments around the U.S. are asking citizens to trust them to use facial recognition software as a handy tool in their crime-fighting toolbox. But some lawmakers — and even some technology giants — are against it.
Take the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, where many residents are Latino or black. Springfield police say they have no plans to use facial recognition systems, but some City Council members are moving to block any future government use of the technology anyway.
At an October hearing on the subject, Springfield City Councilman, Orlando Ramos, defended the technology. “The facial recognition technology does not drop a net from the sky and put you to prison,” he said, noting that it could serve as a useful investigative tool. However, he doesn’t want to take any risks. “It would only lead to more racial discrimination.” he said, citing studies that found higher error rates for facial recognition software used to identify women and people with darker skins.
Similar debates across the country are highlighting racial issues and concerns about the technology’s accuracy. Axon, which supplies body-worn cameras nationwide, had already formed an artificial intelligence ethics board (伦理委员会)that concluded facial recognition technology isn’t yet dependable enough to justify its use on police cameras. Axon Chief Executive Rick Smith said, “Even if facial recognition software was perfectly accurate, the ability to track people raises privacy concerns. “Do we want everybody who walks near a police officer to get their face identified and logged in a database?” he said.
Nevertheless, Todd Pastorini, general manager at biometric forensics (生物取证) company DataWorks Plus, said it’s the “extremely effective” method of running images through photos to help identify a suspect. “Society and the public are going to get frustrated, if governments refuse to adopt a technology that keeps improving”, he said. In his eyes, facial recognition hits are just one part of an investigation.
12. What is Orlando Ramos’ attitude towards facial recognition?
A. Hopeful. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.
13. What is one focus of the debates about facial recognition?
A. Gender discrimination. B. Speed limit.
C. Accuracy rate. D. Steadiness control.
14. What does Rick Smith think of facial recognition?
A. It appears to cause prejudice. B. It brings about privacy concerns.
C. Its technology is reliable. D. Its accuracy needs improving.
15. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Facial recognition tool meets with resistance.
B. All the people disapprove of facial recognition.
C. Facial recognition is the only tool of investigation.
D. Governments should ban facial recognition.

Our society is becoming increasingly overweight. 26. Similar to humans, overweight pets have a much higher risk of health problems. Dr. Katrina Warren shares her expert advice on the issues, causes and treatments for overweight pets.
Recent estimates suggest over a third of overweight pets are suffering from health problems. Diabetes (糖尿病) and diseases related to heart top the list of weight-related disease. To put it simply, weight issues occur when pets consume more kilojoules (千焦) than they use. Owners are a key part of the problem. 27.
28. Working out regularly helps keep pets in shape. As pets no longer need to hunt for their food, they typically enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, lazing around indoors, thus gaining weight easily. What’s more, food should always be adjusted to a pet’s energy requirements. 29. They assume the pet will control its own intake. So it’s easy to fall into the trap of feeding your pet whenever it begs for food.
Fortunately, there are plenty of diet and lifestyle changes to help your pets maintain a healthy weight. For example, pets will benefit from more exercise in their daily life, like eating food. Don’t put food in their bowls. 30. Meanwhile, you can also consult experts about guidance for a healthy diet.
Anyway, provide them with an appropriate diet and proper amounts of exercise, and you may have healthy pets.
A. They’re related to the diet.
B. So are our lovely friends — pets.
C. Another contributing factor is lack of exercise.
D. Try encouraging the pets to exercise step by step.
E. Yet many owners provide constant access to food.
F. They ultimately decide what and how much the pets eat.
G. Rather, spread some food around your house so your pets must find it.
