Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940—the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
4. What can be inferred about the baggage boys? A. They could earn much, but they had to work hard. B. Many of them earned money in a dishonest way. C. They were all from poor families. D. They were all thin, young boys.
5. What does the father's advice imply（暗示）? A. It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers. B. Don’t believe them if they are paying you more. C. Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers. D. It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
6. The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______.
- 2 -
A. it is a totally shared experience B. it is considered as the most dangerous
C. it does great harm to human relationship D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team
7. It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A. his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up B. working in the sports team was his most important experience C. he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members D. his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

Great white sharks! Just hearing that name makes many people’s hair stand on end. In reality, these big fish have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years, people killed countless great white sharks in the waters around the United States.
But thanks to conservation (保护) efforts, great whites are making a comeback in the U.S. Two recent studies show that the population of these sharks is rising along the east and west coast.
Why is the growing population of a killer fish something to celebrate? “When you fish too many of them, you start to lose balance in the environment,” says shark researcher Tobey Curtis. As the biggest killer, sharks help keep the populations of fish, seals, and other creatures they eat from growing too large.
In spite of their importance, great white sharks had long been hunted for their meat and their fins (鳍). Then, in 1997, the U.S. government passed a law that didn’t allow the hunting of great whites. Afterwards, the numbers of these sharks in the U.S. waters started to increase.
The law wasn’t the only thing that has helped great whites. Conservationists have also played a part in the sharks’ comeback. The research group OCEARCH is using a method called tagging (加标签) to help change people’s attitudes about great whites. They let the public follow each shark as it travels the world’s oceans. OCEARCH also gives each tagged shark a name to help people form a closer connection with the big fish.
The group’s most well-known shark is named Katharine. She was tagged last year

near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since then, thousands of people have tracked（追踪）Katharine’s movements on Twitter and the OCEARCH website.
This helps people see sharks in a new way. Chris Fischer, the founder of OCEARCH believes learning to appreciate great whites will encourage people to do more to protect them.
8．The underlined part “makes many people’s hair stand on end” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by______.
A. worries many people B. bores many people C. frightens many people D. interests many people 9．The law passed in 1997 ______.
A. seemed very helpful B. let scientists down
C. needed to be changed D. made people like great whites 10．Katharine’s example is used to show that ______. A. great whites are in fact lovely animals B. the OCEARCH website has a lot of visitors C. the number of great whites is growing quickly D. OCEARCH help people get closer to great whites 11．The main purpose of the passage is to ______. A. introduce an experiment result B. make an advertisement for OCEARCH C. remind us that big killers are dying out
D. inform us that great whites are making a comeback

Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers（低头族）.
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍） in front of a car

accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated（夸大）, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
12．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2? A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing. B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers. D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients. 13．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have? A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed. C. He will cause the destruction of the world. D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
14．Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C.Neutral（中立） D. Objective（客观）
