One day, when his sister was playing a song repeatedly, Sam sang along. His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online. The video and Sam became a hit. Only 8 years old at the time, he couldnt have expected the response.“The Doctors (The television show) called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California,” says Sam, now 13, “and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.”During that visit to California, Angie Allred, Sams mother, had an idea about Sam writing a childrens book. Together, she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts, which tells Sams experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness.“I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people,” Sam says.Moreover, Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable, an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital.“A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital,” says Sam.Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sams ideas. She named the nonprofit Kindness for Kids.Since then, Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage.Sams father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground. He asked the company for help.“FedEx Ground learned about Sams pillow project,” says Erin Truxal, manager of public relations for FedEx Ground. “We thought, What a perfect way for us to get involved.”The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals.Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the childrens hospitals in every state. His goal is simple: “Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick,” he says.4.

These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys reading?To improve boys reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, dont assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading. In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure. 8. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys and girls reading ability?A. Social factors.B. Teaching methods.C. Personal preferences.D. Psychological differences.9. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?A. To persuade boys to read more often.B. To learn what boys are most interested in.C. To help boys improve their language ability.D. To show that adults are good reading role models.10. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.11. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To show students ways to improve their reading.B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys reading ability. DGoogles new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but its not designed to be worn on your clothing.Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended forcandidmoments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that theres a face you see frequently, itll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot like when a childs hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, were likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.12. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It is equipped with tough glass.B. It enables easy internet access.C. It allows of hands-free photography.D. It can be worn on your clothing.13. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?A. brief B. touching.C. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.14. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The popularity of the Internet.B. The advance in technology.C. The rise of the smartphone industry.D. The reduction in the price of lens.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Digital Camera from Google.B. New Devices in the Age of Apps.C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your TripA trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.
