artwork, though, extends far beyond child-like stick figures or
finger painting. In fact, the child from Norfolk, England, has been
called “the boy who paints like an old master.”
&&& According
to his parents, Kieron was a typical toddler who like finding bugs
and playing in the mud. But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach,
the 5-year-old was inspired by the boats and scenery and asked his
parents for a sketch pad. His initial drawings could have been done
by any young child, but after the family returned home, Kieron
continued drawing and began to display a gift for art.

started asking about the process of putting a painting together,
his parents realized he needed professional instruction. Soon
after, he began taking lessons, and his progress amazed everyone as
the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolors.
2009,when the 6-years-old had a chance to exhibit his work in a
gallery, he sold 19 paintings for 14,000pounds, becoming famous
overnight. From then on, he was surrounded by buyers from France,
Japan, Greece and other countries. The young artist held another
exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for
over 17,000 pounds, followed by a third sale, earning 150,000
pounds. For the fourth exhibit, Kieron took the day off from school
but ended up returning to school early. His entire collection had
sold out in 10 minutes to collectors from around the world. Now he
has a waiting list of more than 5,000 people who have ordered his
paintings.
&&& He has
appeared in interviews before millions, and he has been compared to
Pablo Picasso. Yet Kieron doesn’t seem to be fazed by all
the attention, still making time for football and maintaining
excellent grades at school.
&&& He does
have one goal he gets excited about: “ I’d like the Queen to have a
collection of my work.” With his popularity climbing, this young

&&& You might
think I'd have little in common with a camel, but we do share one
useful skill: both of us can go for a very long time without water.
Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, and then I might have a
glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner, that's about a
liter of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently
it's not nearly enough.
years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a
neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my
poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three
liters of liquid a day for my body to function at its best. I
decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the
recommended amount every day for a month?
photograph of me taken the day I started this trial
demonstrates(展示）perfectly and rather frighteningly what a lack of
hydration does to a face. I am 42, but have to admit I look more
like 52 in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows
under and around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion
of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any
luster（光泽）. It looks dead. Even my lips look shriveled（枯萎的）. This
is all classic evidence of poor hydration, apparently.

When a shop is authentic and the workers are friendly, it can
feel like a second home for consumers, according to a new study in
the Journal of Consumer Research. "People often feel strongly
attached to particular places. Such places typically include their
homes, but can also include commercial places such as stores and
restaurants," write authors Alain Debenedetti (Universit& Paris Est
-- IRG), Harmen Oppewal (Monash University), and Zeynep Arsel
(Concordia University). "How do people develop and experience place
attachment when the place concerns a commercial setting, where they
are just customers, and the place is owned or controlled by someone
Consumers form strong emotional bonds with locations when they
experience familiarity. Consumers also value authenticity and
personal relationships. "It also helps if it is a place where one
can feel safe and secure, protected from not only
disturbing&staff but also from aggressive
promotional activities," the authors write. "The place does not
have to be a&splendid&flagship
store. People can build attachments with quite
ordinary&places, as long as the place meets the
above criteria(标准) of familiarity, authenticity and security."
The authors gained these insights from interviews with a sample
of French consumers who talked about their experiences with the
places they most treasure: caf&s, restaurants, department stores,
concert halls, and libraries. The final phase of the study focused
on patrons of a particular French wine bar.
The authors also found that once consumers bond with a
commercial space, they are willing to make efforts or sacrifices to
support it. Satisfied customers may pay higher tips, volunteer to
help the business, and serve as ambassadors, linking other
consumers to the business. "Consumers treat their special place as
a treasured gift and in return want to support the establishment
beyond what is expected of them as customers," the authors
36.Which of the following does not contribute to consumers’
attachment?
splendour&&&&&
familiarity&&&&&
authenticity&&&&
37. Where was the study probably carried out?
America&&&&&&
China&&&&&
France&&&&&&&&
D. Unknown
38. The last paragraph mainly deals
with___________.
&&&A. extra
reward from attached consumers
B. the importance of treating consumers well
C. how to develop bonds with consumers
D. the relationship between consumers and
commercial places
39. Who will benefit most from the result of the
consumers&&& B.
managers&&&&
C. the store

The Criteria of Successful Companies
Parents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after
bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”,
according to new recommendations from the American Academy of
Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor
school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie
Hogan, co-author of the new policy.
&& Families should have a
no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say.
Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the
Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be
visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the
existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen
time for entertainment to less th children
younger than 2 shouldn't have any TV or Internet exposure. Also,
televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of
kids' bedrooms.
&& Doctors say parents need to
obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some
say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family
3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says
Donald, a pediatrician and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to
each other?”
&& Children aged from 8 to 18
spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media
for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in
2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth
graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That
was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier.
About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the
amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using
the computer, the Kaiser report found.
& Use of mobile devices by young kids has
soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy
group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and
younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.
41.Which statement is True according to the 1st
paragraph?
A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after
mealtimes.
B. “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout
C. electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and
educators.
D. overuse of electronic media has caused many severe
42.Which is Not included in the new policy?
A. Children’s screen time for entertainment should be
B. Children can only play video games in their bedrooms.
C. Children can’t call whoever they want to call without
parents’ permission.
D. Children younger than 2 should neither watch TV nor surf the
Internet.&&
43.Why should parents themselves obey the family rules?
A.It’s beneficial to their health.
B.It’s essential to parenting their kids
C.It’s beneficial to their work.
D. It’s essential to developing good relationship with their
44.What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser
Family Foundation?

electronic medias

Yu Shuang from Guizhou Province to write the word for toad(蟾蜍), the
audience frowned. Yu failed as she wrote the character with one dot
missing. However, among 10 adult participants offstage, only three
had written the word correctly.
Meanwhile, those sitting at home also felt embarrassed during
the broadcast, since on several occasions they were stumped as to
how to write words that are commonly used in daily
conversation.
According to a survey by Beijing-based Horizon Research
Consultancy in May, up to 94.1 percent of respondents said they had
encountered memory lapses(疏忽) concerning how to write certain
characters while writing and 26.8 percent said such lapses were

A big real estate company planned to pull down an ancient
building to build a residential district and
a&business district, so I went to interview the
company and also did a survey among my classmates on their opinions
on it.①The company argued that the ancient building was in
extremely poor condition, due to the lack of maintenance, thus
posing a threat to safety. ②Besides, building a residential
district might help solve the housing problem of some residents and
the business district should meet the shopping requirements of
people living around. ③However, my classmates defended that the
ancient building was&a
historical&and&cultural&heritage
as well as the symbol of civilization and wisdom. ④Therefore, it
was the responsibility of the government to protect it, either by
making laws or by other means to make sure of its existence. ⑤From
my own perspective, it is not only the responsibility but also the
duty of every one of us, including the real estate company, to
protect all the
historical&and&cultural&heritages,
and no excuses and reasons are acceptable.
读写任务：（One possible version）
Taking Chinese Character Dictation Contest broadcasted on CCTV
as an example, the passage points out that many people now have
trouble in writing Chinese characters in daily life, which may be
caused by the overuse of digital devices.
Nowadays, many people often encounter the problem of spelling
Chinese characters correctly, including me. I feel a bit ashamed
every time I am unable to write some words, some of which are
commonly used in our everyday life.
What causes this phenomenon? As is mentioned in the reading
passage, the popularity of digital devices is a major contributing
factor. Unlike older generations, young people today prefer typing
instead of writing by hand. Besides, some wrongly-written
advertising signs can be seen everywhere, which mislead people a
We should attach great importance to Chinese traditional
culture. First, we should call for the popularity of handwriting
because Chinese characters are the most important part of Chinese
culture. Opening calligraphy lessons in schools would be a
meaningful method to rebuild children's interest in handwriting.
Then, celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is also significant
to pass on Chinese history and culture. In addition, don’t forget
to protect the cultural relics around our country, which are
precious heritages left by our ancestors.

When a shop is authentic and the workers are
friendly, it can feel like a second home for consumers, according
to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "People often
feel strongly attached to particular places. Such places typically
include their homes, but can also include commercial places such as
stores and restaurants," write authors Alain Debenedetti
(Universit& Paris Est -- IRG), Harmen Oppewal (Monash University),
and Zeynep Arsel (Concordia University). "How do people develop and
experience place attachment when the place concerns a commercial
setting, where they are just customers, and the place is owned or
controlled by someone else?"
Consumers form strong emotional bonds with
locations when they experience familiarity. Consumers also value
authenticity and personal relationships. "It also helps if it is a
place where one can feel safe and secure, protected from not only
disturbing&staff but also from aggressive
promotional activities," the authors write. "The place does not
have to be a&splendid&flagship
store. People can build attachments with quite
ordinary&places, as long as the place meets the
above criteria(标准) of familiarity, authenticity and security."
The authors gained these insights from interviews
with a sample of French consumers who talked about their
experiences with the places they most treasure: caf&s, restaurants,
department stores, concert halls, and libraries. The final phase of
the study focused on patrons of a particular French wine bar.
The authors also found that once consumers bond
with a commercial space, they are willing to make efforts or
sacrifices to support it. Satisfied customers may pay higher tips,
volunteer to help the business, and serve as ambassadors, linking
other consumers to the business. "Consumers treat their special
place as a treasured gift and in return want to support the
establishment beyond what is expected of them as customers," the
authors conclude.

no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say.
Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the
Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be
visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the

graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That

About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the
amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using
the computer, the Kaiser report found.
& Use of mobile devices by young kids has
