My mother only had one eye． And because of this，I never wished her to show up in my school，being afraid that my classmates would find out I had an ugly mother．
One day during primary school， I was badly ill． My mother came． "Scott， your mom only has one eye？" asked some of my classmates． I was so embarrassed． I wish my mother would just disappear from this world． "My classmates tease me because of you， why don't you just die？" I shouted at her， taking no notice of the sad look on her face．My mother just handed me some medicine and left，saying nothing．
At that time， I felt good to say what I always wanted to say， and I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very much． That night I saw my mom crying in her room， so quietly， as if she was afraid she might wake me． Even so， I hated her tears（泪水）from one eye． I made a decision： I must study hard and leave my mother．
Years later my dream came true． I was quite successful and lived happily． I never thought of going back to see my "ugly，' mother until one day I got a letter， which said， "my son…I'm sorry I only have one eye． At the age of two， you got into an accident and lost your eye． As a mom， I couldn't stand watching you live with only one eye． So I gave you mine． I was never angry with you and I never regretted what I did because I love you…，'
I cried out aloud． Only then did I realize how beautiful my mother was!

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．
So next time，when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them．
42．Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network？
A．Because it can provide useful information．
B．Because the owner of the network is polite．
C．Because it is free．
D．Because it is safe．
43．We can learn from the passage that

D．our smartphones
45．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage？
A．Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B．Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C．We Needn't Protect Our Private Information
D．Why Hackers Break into the Operating System．
Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day， but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas．
Mother's Day originated（起源） in America during the early 20th century． The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted．
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China？ In fact， Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial（孝顺的）devotion to parents． There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China． For example， the story of "Taste Liquid（液体的） Medicine for Mother" tells us the filial virtue（美德） of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty． His mother had been sick for three years． He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night． He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it． Also， mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems， like "Song of the Parting Son" by Meng Jiao， a poet of the Tang dynasty． Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks． Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion．
On special days， people often use roses or forget﹣me﹣nots to express love． Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world， but few know that China has its own for mothers﹣﹣﹣the tiger lily．
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression． What matters most is love， not the festival itself． What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children．
（1）When did Mothers Day spread to China？
A． In the 1920s．
B． In the 1980s．
C． In the Western Han dynasty．
D． In the Tang dynasty．
（2）What is the poem of "Song of the Parting Son" mainly about？
A． The filial virtue of Emperor Wen．
B． Caring for the old．
C． Traditional Chinese medicine．
D． A mother's love for her son．
（3）Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of ．
A． its wide spread in many countries
B． our ancient stories of respecting parents
C． our traditional cultural values
D． its simple way of expressing love
（4）What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother？
（5）What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be ．
A． a big dinner
B． a celebration party
C． greetings of the festival
D． expensive presents

Put on your T﹣shirt and shorts. It's （hot） than yesterday.
"I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow! "But no matter how we decide， there are still many chances that we break our promises．
This behavior is called" bedtime procrastination"（睡眠拖延症）， and results from being short of self﹣control and our body clock．
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem． According to a study， Among 2， 400 people， 53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned， delaying（#fE R ）it at least twice a week． They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late， but they couldn't stop doing some other things．
Accordingly， People who usually have trouble resisting temptations（抵制诱惑） and adhering to their intentions（坚持己见） are more likely to delay going to bed．
However， scientists think being short of self﹣control is not the only problem． Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime．
In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep， scientists studied the sleep patterns （t模式）of 108 people． It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning．
And more surprisingly， night owls（夜猫子）would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday， even though they had to get up early for work and school． It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime．
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem， but the choices we make that affect （影响）our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health．
