Unsure of her steps, the woman moved slowly, along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was rolling her eyes and che
2、cking her watch every few seconds. older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. Without hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper.Rather than rush off to locate
3、 the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Her movements reminded me of my own mother, who had passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked, the woman seemed glad of the unrushe
4、d company and casual conversation. We found the movie and she told me it was the one shed enjoyed when she was her sons age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said he could enjoy it with his own young children.I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier. As the cas
5、hier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I went over to the younger woman, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.Is that your mom? I asked.I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business. But she rolled her eyes and said, Yeah. There was annoyance in her reply. Still watching
6、 the mother, I said, Mind some advice?Go ahead, said the daughter.I smiled to show her I wasnt criticizing Cherish her, I said, When shes gone, its the little moments thatll come back to you. Moments like this. I know.”It was true. I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I
7、d used my impatience to make her life miserable.The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter. Together they made their way toward the stores exit. They stood there for a moment, side by side, watching the rush of the holiday current. Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm wi
8、th apparently unaccustomed affection around her mothers shoulders and gently guided her home.1The daughter checked her watch frequently because she _.A. had to wait for a friendB. wanted to buy a new watchC. was impatient to shop with her momD. was uninterested in watching the DVD2From Paragraphs 3

But there are drawbacks too, like t
11、he potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.Now a Swedish project is aiming to change
12、 that by turning peoples under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was
13、a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a cer
14、tain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain
15、hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely product
16、ive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.”So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; its also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are
17、 free to use.4Hoffice was started to _.A. change peoples attitude to workB. provide a co-working space for freeC. improve peoples working conditionsD. encourage people to be more social5Whats the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How people respond to Hoffice.B. What Hoffice means to people.C. What people
18、 share at Hoffice.D. How a Hoffice day works.6Some freelancers descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they _.A. work longer than beforeB. cant be separated from each otherC. benefit a lot from the working styleD. expect more people to join them7What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?A. It
19、 has been popular in many countries for many years.B. It has created many new job opportunities.C. It focus on not only environment but also human needs.D.

20、n space. They are often improvisational (即兴的) and social in nature，encouraging interaction and contact with audiences and the other dancers. These dances generally evolve out of urban and suburban spaces and are a part of the native culture of that geographical area. Some examples of street dances i
21、nclude B-boying, or breakdancing, which originated in New York City, and Melbourne Shuffle which originated in Melbourne, Australia.Street dances are dances that evolve between people in a social environment，although it cannot be always determined as to how they actually do evolve between people. In
22、 theory, as one person comes up with a move that looks good to another person, that other person tries to copy that move. Similar to the game of Chinese Whispers, the effect is that the other person cannot absolutely perform that move the same way as the other person, thus leading to the dancer crea
23、ting their own style or entirely new moves.There is a small difference between entirely freestyle dance and an absolute street dance. While freestyle dance is random and a personal dance invented by a single person (even if ifs based on someone elses dance style), a full street dance is a collection
24、 of the various similar dance moves and styles collected into one practice and regarded as the same dance. For example, when B-boying evolved out of early hip-hop culture, people came up with their own moves, and other people improved them. Street dances constantly evolve for as long as they are now
25、 and then practiced and regarded as the same dance. All the moves danced to breaks in hip-hop culture were regarded as B-boying.Sometimes it is possible to trace back street dance styles that were mostly pioneered by specific persons. One example is Locking, which is often regarded as being started
26、by Don Campbell, who was a 1970s pioneer of American street dance. Most of the time it is impossible to owe street dances to specific people; since the dances evolve outside of professional dance environments, and there is no social or legal record. Street dance pioneers also rarely have professiona
27、l degrees in dance, thus distinguishing street dance from other modern dance forms.8Paragraph 1 is intended to tell us the of street dances.A. varieties B. changesC. characteristics D. distributions9What do we know about street dances?A. Dancers perform them in dance studios.B. They are developed by
28、 professional dancers.C. They are collected from different moves and styles.D. Dancers create moves based on other peoples moves.10Chinese Whispers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to .A. stress a street dancers own styleB. show the effect of Chinese whispersC. introduce a popular Chinese gameD. explain
29、 the characteristics of street dances11The passage is probably taken from .A. a travel journal B. a history textbookC. a popular magazine D. a museum brochureDWhile the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether. Though this
30、 may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.Over the years, the idea has g
31、ained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks dont even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous bu
32、sinesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!But despite its growing popularity, some people dont like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as
33、those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system.Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish pap
34、er currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon
35、 spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sureWith increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”.12What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?A. Many banks in Sweden dont have ATMs.B. You dont have to buy tickets when riding bus
36、es.C. People dont give the homeless money but food.D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.13According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.B. The younger generation is opposed to the measures.C. Bus fare can only be
37、 purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.14Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.
