11．When I teach yoga （瑜伽），I usually announce "Phones off and at the back of the room" at the beginning of class.Recently，I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone.She looked displeased but did so.But two days later，in another class，I was met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.
"But I'm on call.I might have to jump up and run out of class."
"Then maybe this isn't the best place for you to be tonight."
That response got me an angry and unfriendly look.But when she came back the next week，there was no phone and she was much more present.
Present is what I'm asking my students to be.Present to themselves and their yoga experience.You cannot be present to yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call.And neither can anyone around you.Definitely，if one phone is out，many pairs of eyes are drawn to it.And then other phones start to appear.Forget the fact that you're missing the class you paid for；you're at risk of losing your balance and hurting y ourself or someone else due to inattention，or disturbing someone else's moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.
So please，do yourself and everyone around you，this teacher included，a favor and turn your phone off and put it away before you unroll your yoga mat.If you truly are on call，think hard before you come to class.
Be present for yourself，wherever you need to be.
（1）How does the author introduce her topic？
A．By giving examples.
B．By making comparison.
C．By presenting the process.
D．By analyzing cause and effect.
（2）Why was the young woman angry with the author？
A．Because she thought she was reasonable.
B．Because she was brave enough to say no.
C．Because she didn't like the yoga class at all.
D．Because the author was rude to her.
（3）Which is Not the probable result of using phones in yoga class？
A．Hurting yourself.
B．Missing the class.
C．Disturbing others.
D．Getting others' admiration.
（4）What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？
A．To describe the situation of her yoga class.
B．To explain her relationship with students.
C．To show her opinion about using mobile phones.
D．To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class.組卷：144引用：3難度：0.6 -
12．Some people can never be forgotten.That's because their names become common words.As many as 50，000 words in the English language get their meaning from people's names.Some are real people，while others are characters in books or stories.
Often a new dish is given the name of its inventor.The Chinese dish gongbao chicken was created in Sichuan Province by Ding Baozjye.ain.He served the hot dish when he was governor of the province from 1876 to 1886.After Ding died，people named the dish for him.
The fisherman Willem Beukelz began to pickle（腌制）fish in the 14 century.His method of pickling fish was widely used，but people didn't pronounce his name "Beukelz".Soon "pickles" became popular in many countries.
Granny Smith apples are named for Maria Ann Smith，a grandmother.Maria was born into a farm family in Britain in 1799 and married Thomas Smith at the age of 19.Then they moved to Australia.On their farm near Sydney they grew apple trees.Their special kind of apple became known in Australia as a Granny Smith.
More than just foods take people's names.Many people enjoy riding on a Ferris wheel，named for engineer George W.G.Ferris.He designed the first one for Chicago's World Columbian Exposition in 1893.

18．The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline，some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems，and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time，she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed，his wife，who took care of him and could not go out to work，and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
"I wish you could see him，"she said to her own children，John，Harry，and Clara."He is such a help to his motjye.air.He wants very much to earn some money，but I don't see what he can do."
After their mother left the room，the children sat thinking about Bernard."I wish we could help him to earn money，"said Clara."His family is suffering so much."
"So do I，"said Harry."We really should do something to assist them."
For some moments，John said nothing，but，suddenly，he sprang to his feet and cried，"I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish（完成）."
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea，it was sure to be a good one."I tell you what we can do，"said John."You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us？Well，we can make popcorn（爆米花），and put it into paper bags，and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it."
