He had delivered milk to the families on the street for thirty years. For the past fifteen years a large white horse named Joseph pulled his milk wagon. Joseph was a gentle horse with beautiful spirit shining out of its eyes, so Pierre named him after Saint Joseph.Every morning at five, Pierre arrived at the milk company's stables to find Joseph waiting for him, Pierre would call, “Good morning, my old friend., as he climbed into his seat, while Joseph turned his head toward the driver. And the two would go proudly down the street. Without any order from Pierre, the wagon would roll down three streets. Then it turned right for two streets, before turning left to Saint Catherine Street. The horse finally stopped at the first house on Prince Edward Street. There, Joseph would wait perhaps thirty seconds for Pierre to get down off his seat and put a bottle of milk at the front door.Pierre knew every one of the forty families that got milk. The cooks knew that Pierre could not read or write; so, instead of leaving orders in an empty milk bottle, they simply sang out if they needed an extra bottle.Pierre also had a wonderful memory. When he arrived at the stable he always remembered to tell Jacques, the foreman(领 班)of the stables, "The Pacquins took an extra bottle this morning; the Lemoines bought a pint of cream Most of the drivers had to make out the weekly bills and collect the money. But Jacques, liking Pierre, never asked him to do this.One day the president of the milk company came to inspect the early morning milk deliveries.Jacques pointed to Pierre and said:"See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Pierre? See the look in that horse's eyes? You know, I think those two share a secret. I have often felt it. He is getting old. Maybe he ought to be given a rest, and a small pension.“But of course, “the president laughed. "He has been on this job now for thirty years. All who know him love him. Tell him it is time he rested. He will get his pay every week as before.But Pierre refused to leave his job. He said his life would be nothing if he could not drive Joseph every day. uWe are two old men, “ he said to Jacques. "Let us wear out together. When Joseph is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”Then one cold morning Jacques had terrible news for Pierre. Jacques said, Pierre, your horse, Joseph, didn't wake up. He was very old, Pierre." Jacques said softly. "He is over in his stall, looking very peaceful. Go over and see him." Pierre took one step forward, then turned, "No . no . I cannot see Joseph again. You you don't understand, Jacques?9For years Pierre had worn a large heavy cap that came down low over his eyes.It kept out the bitter cold wind. Now, Jacques looked into Pieire's eyes and he saw something that shocked him. He saw a dead, lifeless look in them.“Take the day off, Pierre, “ Jacques said. Pierre walked to the corner and stepped into the street.There was a warning shout from the driver of a big truck . there was the screech（尖锐的杀U车声）of rubber tires as the truck tried to stop. But Pierre heard nothing.Five minutes later a doctor said, "He's dead ., killed instantly/5“I couldn't help it, “the truck driver said. "He walked in front of my truck. He never saw it, I guess. Why, he walked as though he were blind.”The doctor bent down. "Blind? Of course, this man has been blind for five years." He turned to Jacques, "Didn't you know he was blind?”“No .no ." Jacques said softly. "None of us knew. Only one . only one knew a friend of his, named Joseph . It was a secret, I think, just between those two.”1、According to the first three paragraphs, we can know that.A.

Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study a bird, which is dying out, the Atlantic Coast piping plover.The piping plover is a shorebird that lives along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development of their beach habitats （栖息、土也）,threatens the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data.Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U. S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey's web-based "iCoast - Did the Coast Change? invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing aerial （从飞机上的）photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts （影响） worldwide.1、What can we know about the piping plover?A. Its behaviour is changing.B , Its habitat is growing bigger.C. Its living environment is becoming worse.D. Its breeding range is limited to the Atlantic Coast.2、Why did Thieler develop iPlover?A. To study shorelines across America.B. To advance information technology.C. To study global climate change.D. To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.3、Which of the following benefits the shorebird?A. The camping equipment.C. The changeable coast.4、What would be the best title of the text?A. Protecting Endangered ShorebirdsC. iPlover, a Tool for Training Field StaffB , Research on smartphones.D. Progress in technology.B. Rob Thieler, a Creative ScientistD. Differences Between iPlover and iCoastText 3Cakan is a successful businessman from Montenegro, who has earned himself nicknames（昵称）like “the best boss” and “Brother“ by being surprisingly generous to his employees.Cakan, who owns "Cakan Sports”，the largest sporting goods store chain in Montenegro, has been making news headlines for years, but not for his professional success. He is best known for the generosity he shows to his faithful and hard-working employees. The businessman firmly believes that his company can boom only if he keeps his employees happy, and to that end, he has offered the best of them some pretty unbelievable presents.Cakan first surprised his workers back in 2012, when he offered four of them brand new cars - 2 VW Golf 6 and 2 VW polo complete with paid insurance. They were some of the oldest and most hard-working employees of Cakan Sports, and since the company had recently moved its operations outside the city, Cakan thought his best people shouldn't have to struggle to get to work. nWhen we saw them, we were speechless,n Danijela, one of the receivers, remembers. nWhile the boss was saying 'his is a gift fbr you', all I could think of was "this is not real, this can*t be happening to us'." But this was just one of the generous ways Cakan has rewarded his employees over the years. In 2014, after hearing that one of his workers had been saving up his paychecks so he could buy a ticket to the world Cup soccer final, in Brazil, he took him there himself, at his own expense.Asked why he doesn't use cheaper means of motivating his employees, like a small raise or a cash bonus, Cakan had this to say, ''Money comes and goes, but memories are forever/ Asked why many of his employees call him "Brother", Cakan told a reporter that it was because nbrothers always help each othern.1、What is Cakan best noted for?A.

His largest sporting goods store chain.2、Why did Cakan offer his four best workers new cars?A. To make them travel to work easily.B.

A , A Smart Businessman.B. A Considerate Employer.C. Hardworking Employees.D. Unbelievable Presents.Text 4With an improved economy, many travelers have been buying first and business class seats, leaving fewer for upgrades （改 善）.Here are some strategies for scoring a free upgrade.1. Fly a lot.This is the most common way to earn a free upgrade. Most airlines reserve some space for travelers who fly at least 25,000 miles per year. Five years ago, this meant half or more of domestic （国 内的）first class travelers sat up front for free. But now, airlines are selling more high price seats, so on popular routes it is not unusual for more than 40 travelers to compete for one or two upgrades. But on routes with fewer business travelers free upgrades remain more plentiful.2. Use miles.If you're not a frequent travelers but still have some miles banked, you may be able to use them for an upgrade. Be careful, though, as many airlines now ask not just for miles but also a cash co-pay. One example: On flights to Europe, American Airlines charges 25,000 miles, plus $350, for a one-way upgrade from discounted economy to business class. For most domestic upgrades, American wants 15,000 miles plus $75.3. Get lucky.Sometimes airlines overbook coach, and a few travelers get no seats, only because no seats remain in back. Agents try to ensure the airline's most loyal travelers get the nod. Sometimes Agents usually have some flexibility to make sure the plane is full and takes off on time. So it's the easiest way fbr them to do it they might upgrade someone else out of order.4. Save a life.Flight attendants don't usually upgrade passengers, even when empty seats remain. Doctors and nurses who answer an emergency call are sometimes an exception. If they comfort a passenger, flight attendants migh
