　　I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

　　Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk", she said, "is for Elizabeth".

　　I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

　　They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional易動情感的". But she lived "on the surface".

　　As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive原諒me.

　　I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

　　My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and finally, peace---it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

　　Now the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside, a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded 摺疊 and refolded many times.

　　Chinese boys are failing to become men according to a new book CALLED Save the Boys. The book says today’s Chinese boys are both physically and emotionally情感地weak. It claims, in effect, that boys are becoming more girly!

　　The writers of the book say modern culture and education system have an effect on this situation. They also say boys’ learning is constricted受限制的by having to sit still in class all day. They don’t have good role models in school because most of their teachers are women. On top of that, most men role models in pop-culture, the authors say, are effeminate女子氣的.

　　Now, if you are a boy reading this, you shouldn’t get too nervousyou may already be laughing!, because the book is just talking about social changes that have been happening all over the world, not just in China. When the world was becoming richer, the traditional roles of men and women changed a lot. Now we no longer live in old times when men had to defend their families from man-eating tigers. And women are no longer financially經濟地dependent on men because they have their own jobs and careers.

　　Becoming a man is a difficult and long process. Your best role model is probably your father. From our fathers we learn that a man is honest and kind. He is responsible and hardworking. He always faces difficulties and doesn’t complain or make excuses. He may not have big muscles, but he does have a big heart. As long as there are good fathers, there is no need to worry about“saving”the boys.

　　88. What’s today’s Chinese boys’ problem according to a book called Save the Boys?

　　89. According to the book, what causes the boys’ problem?

　　90. Why do the boys have no good role models in school?

　　91. According to the book, social changes are just happening in China, aren’t they?

　　92. Who can be the boys’ best role model?

　　93, What can we do to help boys become men?

　　Mr Testtube has found three interesting articles at the website for his students.

　　Cambridge University’s‘doctor of chocolate’

　　Cambridge University is looking for someone to study the method of preserving chocolates in hot weather. It is a sweet job for a sweet tooth. However, the person needs to be good at math. Chocolate has a melting point close to our body temperature. For that reason, chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the advertisement from Cambridge University is ridiculous, but if there is really a‘doctor of chocolate,’he or she will help people a lot.

　　One logo商標isn’t too expensive to print because it doesn’t need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot. In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, to cut the cost. The design company retained the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing process. Let’s hope other companies will take this advice. The measure will save them money and use less energy, too.

　　Funny menu for children

It translates children’s words into meals to help parents order for their kids. A father said,‘As a dad, I think this is on the money.’Here is the menu.

　　The Museum of Failure

　　History may be written by the winners, but we should not ignore the losers. At least, that’s what the Museum of Failure wants us to believe.

　　Displaying around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas, the newly opened museum in Helsingborg, Sweden, celebrates modern history’s ___75___ designs. But as well as exhibiting long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our mistakes.

Most of all innovation創新projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success, according to the museum’s website.

　　‘The purpose of the museum is to show that innovation ___77___ failure,’Dr. West said as he introduced some of the exhibits in a video.‘If you are afraid of failure, then you can’t innovate.’His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failures instead of ignoring them and pretending they ___78___ happened.

　　Based on Leo Tolstoy’s‘Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,’Dr West has created a similar ___79___ for his museum:‘All successful innovations are alike; all failed innovations fail in their own interesting and spectacular驚人的way.’

　　The museum’s items make Dr West more deeply believe that poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, ___80___, is a frozen beef lasagne意式千層麵made by Colgate, a company that makes toothpaste. He described this as a classic case of‘brand extension品牌擴充套件failure.’

　　A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour, stopping in Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam and then will visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.

　　75. A. latest B. worst C. different D. simple

　　The next days were a___81___ for Kevin. After breakfast Kevin decided to do a painting. He took out all his art supplies and started painting beautiful scenery. When he nearly finished it, Max entered the room with a Cola bottle. He slipped on some water and spread Cola all over the painting. It was c___82___ destroyed. The next day was even worse. Max put Kevin’s best pair of shoes into the washing machine along with the clothes.

　　One day Kevin was going through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his a___83___. He read it aloud‘The world famous philatelist集郵家Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week in his town. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place and police suspect that all the robberies are l___84___.’

　　Kevin had a nice stamp collection and it was with his friend Allan. He decided to get his stamp album back as he felt it would be much s___85___ with himself. But Kevin couldn’t go, so he decided to spend Max to get his album. Kevin gave Max the address of Allan’s and Max started. Max soon came back with the album and when Kevin checked it he found that it was not his album. It contained valuable stamps. Actually Max had gone to another house by mistake and he had knocked on the door but no one a___86___. He found the door unlocked, so he went in. He found an album which looked like Kevin’s and brought it back.

　　Kevin doubted that it might be the stolen album probably belonging to Dick Brown. Kevin made c___87___ with the police. A week later, Kevin and Max got reward for finding Dick Brown’s album.

　　‘I will never be angry at Max,’Kevin thought.

　　‘What are you saying? You lost him?’the Chief of Police said angrily.

　　The young police inspector警長in front of her was tired, very tired. He wanted to sit down, but people did not sit down in the chief’s office. They stood and waited, and perhaps the Chief said‘sit down’. Then they sat down, but not before.

Three months ago, this man—Alex Dinon—killed the President of our country. He is a murderer—a dangerous man. Twenty-four hours ago he escaped from prison and our new President wants him back in prison—today! Now! At once!’

　　The inspector quickly left the room.

　　His name was Felix, and he was thirty-three years old. That was young for an inspector, but he was a good policeman. He liked his job, and worked long hours, but he was sometimes afraid of the Chief of Police.

　　Ten minutes later he was back in his office, and Adam came into his room. Adam was twenty-five, and usually worked with Felix on important jobs.

　　‘What did the Chief say?’Adam asked.

　　‘Find Dinon quickly.’Felix said,‘So, let’s begin. Have we got photographs of Dinon? And what about his family?’

　　Adam put some photographs on the desk.‘He’s got a wife and two young children.’he said.

　　‘Right. I want photographs on television and in all the newspapers. Four men can watch his house and family, day and night—four hours on, and four hours off. Next, I want policemen at all the airports and …’

　　Telephones rang, and people came and went in the office. Felix and Adam worked on, late into the night.

　　More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.

　　Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including

　　language, history and science.

　　Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They

　　say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

　　The teachers also say that iPads allows students to learn at their own pace步幅. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.

　　The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learnsuch as listening to stories and watching movies. The class has become much more interesting and creative.

　　There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home.” a student explained.

　　Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads have a bad influence on students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching video on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

　　However, technologies are already a part of most students’ daily lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

　　81. What does the underlined expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

　　A. As fast or as slow as they can. B. Without their teachers’ help.

　　C. With their classmates’ communication. D. Against their parents’ hope.

　　82. From the passage we can learn that _________.

　　A. students with iPads have less discussion in class

　　B. students get more fun from learning with iPads

　　C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses

　　D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

　　83. The writer probably agrees that_______.

　　A. teachers can take control of students’ learning

　　B. exam results depend a lot on new technology
