　　I am so appreciating my daughters today and all that we learned while we were growing together. I am especially grateful for the activities that centered on kindness and brought joy to us at the same time.

　　At one time we decided to bake bread for the homeless community(社区) on the beach near our home. We took 2 days during each week to bake mini loaves of bread and also took cheese of each person. As this project went on (eventually for more than two years), one of my daughters started having short conversations with each person she gave bread to.

　　Eventually we brought some playing cards and checkers and played with some of the people, too. Soon several of our friends joined us and we began to make full lunches once a week for this community.

　　Years later when I saw one of the previous free lunch receivers, they would come up to me, share a nice memory from that time as well as how much the kindness meant to them and have some friendship with children, too. We had great fun together.

　　Both of my daughters, now grown with kids of their own, still take time to do kind things for others and community service projects and then share that with me. I am grateful for a focus away from self and to find real joy and purpose in being kind.

　　The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language and connect with family and friends.

　　As far as the Internet being a part of our lives — well, that train has left the station. This expression means there is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers.

　　A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in an unlikely group — teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart and kidney(肾)disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia(痴呆), a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.

　　The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people from 14 to 17 years old participated in it. One hundred and thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users.” Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.

　　The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us.” For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week.” Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity.”

　　7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

　　A. The Internet Does Harm to the Study.

　　B. Too Much Internet May Be Bad for Teenagers.

　　C. We Should Stop Using the Internet.

　　D. High Blood Pressure Is around the Corner.

　　A man thirsts for adventure. Often the journey is the destination itself, and you can learn a lot from a brief adventure into the wild. Here are four types of outdoor adventures that every man should attempt to take.

　　1. The Ascent(登高)

　　Mountain climbing and backpacking is one way to truly test your limits. It’s a test of mental and physical strength. Besides, it often requires months of preparation. There are plentiful famous mountains notable for being extremely challenging for even the most dedicated climbers. The one thing they all have in common is that they attract a certain type of a person: one with a desire to defeat nature.

　　2. The Solo(单独的) Trip

　　Going out into the wild, alone, is one of the scariest things a lot of people could ever imagine. If you take proper precautions, a solo trip can be a very freeing and rewarding experience. Particularly if you have some heavy things going on in your life — perhaps a failing relationship, switching careers, or financial conflict — getting away from everyone and everything can put you in tune with nature, and with yourself.

　　3. The Open Ocean

　　Whether you find yourself in a kayak(皮船), sailboat, or any other kind of water boat, getting out on the water arouses some very special feelings. Nothing quite compares to having a gentle wind in your face, as you stare out at the vast and glassy expanse of the open water.

　　4. Endurance(耐力) Challenge

　　This is when you’re serious about putting your life on hold, and getting away from it all. Endurance, in this case, can mean a number of things.

　　Trips like this can last months, and include thousands of miles. But they will test every fiber of your being — psychologically, you’ll be in constant battle. Physically, you’ll be tired and hungry almost all the time. And all of those things make these types of adventures the extreme test of will. You can climb mountains, deserts, rivers and lakes.

　　8. What is the common point of the well-known challenging mountains?

　　A. They appeal to people who are eager to overcome nature.

　　B. They are beautiful enough to attract visitors.

　　C. They are suitable for those who are experienced.

　　D. They draw the attention of people who are well-prepared..

　　9. A person is likely to choose a solo trip when he ________.

　　A. has a stable job

　　B. makes a big fortune

　　C. succeeds in finishing a difficult task

　　D. has trouble in dealing with the relationship

　　10. What can be regarded as an endurance challenge?

　　A. A bike ride across the United States.

　　B. A short trip to the countryside.

　　C. A relaxing walk around a park.

　　D. A pleasant return to nature.

　　11. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To appeal to more people to take adventures.

　　B. To introduce four types of outdoor adventures.

　　C. To compare four types of outdoor adventures.

　　D. To present the difficulties of four types of outdoor adventures.

　　Unable to turn its fortunes around, Yahoo is reportedly thinking about selling its pioneering Internet business.

　　The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Yahoo’s board will meet several times this week, during which the company’s directors will consider whether to sell Yahoo’s profitable share in Alibaba, the company’s core (核心) Internet business, or both. A spokesman for Yahoo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

　　Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has struggled to reverse Yahoo’s years-long decline in sales. The Internet portal’s(门户网站的) bread-and-butter advertising business has recently been surpassed(超越) by Google and Facebook, and the gap between them is only widening.

　　The company has gone through many attempts at a reform over the past decade, choosing to get rid of its once leading search business, then deciding to focus on its media capitals, then putting emphasis on its apps and services — all ending with the same result: Yahoo is failing to take advantage of its massive audience and transform those eyeballs into growing ad sales.

　　Shares of Yahoo have dropped sharply 35% this year. Meanwhile, the bad news keeps piling up for Yahoo. An unfavorable ruling from the IRS means that Yahoo will have to pay taxes when it sells its massive billion share in Alibaba. Activist investor(投资者) group Starboard has asked Yahoo not to sell its Alibaba business and instead look to sell off its core Internet business.

　　It’s unclear what companies or investors might be interested in Yahoo. Microsoft had offered to take over Yahoo for billion in 2008, but Yahoo fought off the deal.

　　Now, Yahoo is worth just over billion. Since that includes the company’s Alibaba and .5 billion Yahoo Japan shares, investors have valued Yahoo’s core business as worthless.

　　Yahoo still is one of the most-visited websites in the world. It received 210 million visitors in October, according to comScore, making it the No. 3 site behind Google and Facebook.

　　12. During the meeting of Yahoo’s board, the directors will discuss ________.

　　A. how they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in Alibaba

　　B. if they will sell Yahoo’s profitable share in Alibaba

　　C. how much of the company’s core Internet business they will sell

　　D. who the company’s core Internet business will be sold to

　　13. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.

　　A. ignore the present situation

　　B. better improve the situation

　　C. turn it into the opposite situation

　　D. predict the future situation

　　14. According to Paragraphs 4 and 5, what happens to Yahoo?

　　A. Yahoo is faced with continuous difficult circumstances.
