• 2．"Are you OK，Cassie？"Jonah asked，from the doorway of the Sea Holly Café.
     Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes，but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.
     "Oh，I should be getting back to work."She rose hurriedly.
     "We're not busy，take your time."Jonah came with a cappuccino for her."Thanks."She accepted the coffee，"Everything's fine."Then Jonah nodded，revealing a comforting smile，and went back inside.
     He was a great boss，but Cassie didn't feel like telling him what was wrong.
     Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness.Since then，she hadn't touched her paints for a whole year.Today was doomed to be a sad date，the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust.She felt a crushing sense of disappojye.aitment.In her painting，she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water，but the picture did have a sad，dreary（沉悶的）quality.
     About 20 minutes later，she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder，"That's beautiful."
     Cassie turned，and there was a woman wearing a blue coat.The woman eyed it again."You have talent，but there is much sadness in it，for one so young."Cassie's eyes were filled with tears."My name's Willow，"the woman said kindly，"Why not try painting the sunrise instead，my dear？You might find it helps."
     With Willow's words echoing in her brain，Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day，caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.
     When she finished，Jonah was just opening up.He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height."Hey，this is good.It's really..."For a moment he struggled for the word，then found it and turned to her，beaming，"Optimistic!"
     In her picture the sun was powering into the sky，casting a clear，golden pathway across the sea.

• 3．Look at your modern TV，and you see nothing less than a technological miracle.Scientists began experimenting with the concept of television more than a century ago.But decades would pass before it was brought to the public at the 1939 World's Fair.More time passed before TV sets were in stores—and even then，it took a while until most people had one.
     During the 1950s，TVs were expensive，screens were small and the picture wasn't always clear.Moreover，early programs were in black and white；color wasn't in wide use until the mid-1960s.Viewers didn't have a lot of choice，either.Instead of hundreds of channels to choose from，most cities offered only three or four.
     Early TVs worked with the use of analog（模擬的）signals.Here's how they worked：Using a giant transmission tower，the local television station sent those waves through the air.Antennas on the roofs of buildings and homes received those waves and transported the signal to the television sets inside.By 2009，TV stations replaced analog signals with digital signals，which is the standard used today.
     Modern digital TV uses different information streams.For example，one stream is for the picture；another stream is for the audio.Pictures are created by basic units called pixels（像素）.Your screen has tens of thousands of pixels.Basically，three colors—red，blue and green—form other colors in various combinations，and the picture is created from all the pixels together.Groups of bits are formed into larger units called bytes（字節(jié)），which are the link between the content you're watching and your TV.Your digital smart TV has an interface that allows you to control all the functions.Basically，a smart TV is a computer，large monitor and receiver all in one package.
     In the future，there will be more functions equipped in your cellphone and TV and thus offer you more choices.Whether the TV will be a screen for your cellphone is up to you.
  
  （1）Which of the following was a new characteristic of the TV sets in the mid-1960s？

  
  A．The screens were small.
  B．The pictures were unclear.
  C．The pictures were colored.
  D．Many channels were offered.
  （2）What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3？

  
  A．The development of TVs.
  B．The working process of TVs.
  C．The problems viewers meet.
  D．The advantages of modern TVs.
  （3）What can we know about modern digital TVs from the text？

  
  A．They are always used as computers by viewers.
  B．Their pictures are more colorful with higher pixels.
  C．Users can control some of the functions on their computers.
  D．Bytes are in charge of linking the program to the TVs.
  （4）Where is the text most probably from？

  
  A．A science-tech magazine.
  B．A news report.
  C．A travel brochure.
  D．A storybook.

      Only eight days until Thanksgiving and there wasn't going to be enough money to buy the necessary things for the holiday.I promised my three sons that we'd love a nice family dinner in our new home，unlike the prior year when we canceled Thanksgiving to deal with the loss of their father.
      It was hard to put everyday food on the table for three growing boys with the little I earned from work，but I promised a good meal.We looked forward to a day of good eating!But there was only enough bread in the house，two chicken breasts and a few other things.
      The next day，I met my friend and neighbor，Aleta，at her home.Her four boys and my kids were good friends.Her husband had recently lost his job due to illness，and they suffered financial difficulties as well.
  We stood there talking about our coming Thanksgiving dinner，and agreed to make a Thanksgiving feast together.Then children of the two families headed out and found a few neighbors who helped them earn enough to purchase most of the items they set out for，except the turkey.
      Four days before Thanksgiving，I managed to buy a turkey and finished baking the cookies.My friend called with news about a family living in our community who needed help with food and bills.The father had been in an accident and unable to work for the last few months.We didn't know the family well，but my friend and I went to visit them with our holiday cookies，hoping to help in some way.In no time，her kids ate the cookies.
      While everyone chatted.I went into their kitchen.The cupboards were almost bare.I was shocked.Aleta and I left the house，desperately wanting to help.Without a word，we looked at each other，asking ourselves the same question.Could we sacrifice a little more and give the family our holiday meal？
