　　What’s best to read this year?

　　Secrets I Know (Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)

　　This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above.The colors of Zakimi’s pencil drawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.

　　Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)

　　The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora.Pandora lives alone.She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit.Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing.Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely.Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.

　　Prince and Pirate (G.P.Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)

　　A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery.Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium（水族館）.At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends.It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.

　　The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)

　　The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson.When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do.But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面對）the unknown creature.Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors create a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.

　　1.Who pictured the book Pandora?

　　A.Kallie George. B.Victoria Turnbull.

　　C.Paola Zakimi. D.Charlotte Gunnufson.

　　2.Which book tells a story about courage?

　　A.Pandora. B.Secrets I Know.

　　C.Prince and Pirate. D.The Giant Jumperee.

　　3.What do the four books have in common?

　　A.Their publishers are the same one. B.Their characters are all animals.

　　One evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response surprised me, “What’s a colander（漏勺）?” he asked.

　　I could only blame myself.Nobody’s hands went in the sauce except my own.But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.I felt confident that I’d raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do.But could he boil water? Sew on a button? Wash his clothes without turning them pink? No, no and no.Suddenly it hit me: He’d be leaving the house in a year to attend college.No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world.

　　As parents, while we focus on our child’s confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father.I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course.I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.

　　For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting.Then he rolled out the piecrust（餡餅皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

　　Three of my four grandparents were tailors, so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics, like mending a split seam or refastening a button.One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer.I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother -- he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive -- but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping.“I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.

　　Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes there’s nothing masculine（男子氣的）about being helpless.Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too.That’s what I call a man.

　　1.Hearing her son’s question, the author felt _______.

　　A.shocked B.angry

　　C.disappointed D.calm

　　2.We can learn from the text that Ray ________.

　　A.made great progress in cooking

　　B.preferred sewing to cooking

　　C.was unwilling to take the course at first

　　D.always thought it attractive to do housework

　　3.The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _______.

　　A.fell in love with housework B.did other work in the house

　　C.acknowledges the author’s efforts D.began to be more independent

　　4.What would be the best title for the text?

　　A.Are Women Programmed for Housework ? B.Should Boys Be Involved in Housework?

　　C.I’m Proud I’ve Raised a Curious Son D.A Present for My Future Daughter-in-law

　　Many people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica.Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line.Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice.Every time penguins fall down, people laugh.The animals are cute!

　　People like the film very much.So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime.A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin.Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.

　　Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them.He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguin’s colors, its way of standing straight upright and the way it walks.”

　　These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things.For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance.But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy.The penguin’s colour also has a special purpose.It protects the penguins when they are swimming.From below, larger animals cannot see the penguin’s white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice.And from above, other animals cannot see the penguin’s black back against the dark ocean floor.

　　The penguins’ colors protect them in nature.But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans.They make animals seem cute to people.Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby.

　　Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way.A study done at the University of Michigan tested young people’s reactions to images.It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture.The researchers showed the young people two messages.One was a simple anti-smoking message.The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad.The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.

　　1.In the film “March of the Penguins”, ________.

　　A.a baby penguin is stolen B.a penguin is sent out as a gift

　　C.penguins are cute and attractive D.penguins have a bad sense of balance

　　2.It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .

　　A.a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming one

　　B.a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from falling

　　C.a shop selling baby products are likely to make more money

　　D.a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors

　　3.Scientists have found that the penguins’ color can ________.

　　A.change at different places B.help them keep warm

　　C.make people have pity on them D.protect them from being hunted

　　4.The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that _________.

　　A.cute messages mislead people

　　B.cuteness influences people’s judgment

　　C.humans react to anything that is cute

　　D.a simple message is more convincing than a cute message

　　When you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users.But you’d be wrong.Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views.They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.

　　This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old.For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.

　　Princeton University has created bots（自動程序）, each with their own fake profiles.These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虛擬地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests.By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.

　　According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with.It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”

　　Personalization also has its benefits.Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions.This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance.It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results.Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.

　　Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(過濾) bubble”.They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.

　　1.The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

　　A.decorating B.removing

　　C.personalizing D.protecting

　　2.Princeton University created bots to ______.

　　A.explain why different websites are personalized

　　B.offer users some advice on how to protect privacy

　　C.assess how personalization is affecting Internet users

　　D.stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites

　　3.Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?

　　A.Google and Yahoo. B.eBay and Google.

　　C.Amazon and eBay. D.Amazon and Yahoo.

　　4.What is this passage mainly about?

　　A.Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.

　　B.Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.

　　C.Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.

　　D.Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.
