Before she was Queen of England,Princess Elizabeth wanted to join the Auxiliary Territorial Service (A.T.S.) , a female branch of the British military. It was World War II,and women worked at jobs traditionally held by men,who were now overseas fighting.
Elizabeth was a teenager and first had to convince her parents about her plan. Her father,King George Ⅵ. thought it was too dangerous. But Princess Elizabeth would not take no for an answer. “I ought to do as other girls of my age do,” she said firmly. After some months,her parents finally agreed to let her join.
Princess Elizabeth did not receive any special treatment in the A. T.S. The only thing different was that she returned to Windsor Castle each night to sleep.
When she arrived at the A. T.S. camp depot （兵站) for her first day of training,Princess Elizabeth was greeted by a car with its wheels off. In the weeks that followed,she learned to take apart an engine and then assemble(裝配) it. The princess loved the training,admitting, “I'm a mechanic at last."
Princess Elizabeth worked on car,truck,and even tank engines. She also learned to read maps and drive officer transport cars,ambulances,and military trucks. To complete her A. T.S. training,she was required to drive a big truck on her own.
The king and queen thought driving a truck was too dangerous,but before they could let her know how they felt,they discovered Elizabeth driving a truck onto the palace grounds. She had driven from the A. T.S. camp through the busy London streets all by herself.
Princess Elizabeth became Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. Now in her eighties,she still drives. Queen Elizabeth loves horses and still rides four times each week. She also actively manages her estate(莊園) farm at Balmoral and is often seen hiking through the countryside there.

Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield E) , where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.
1. Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible (看不見的) advantage
You've probably seen that stores keep go-to items — produce,meats,dairy — on the outer edge. But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise(逆時針) ？Ninety percent of us are right-handed,so we buy more when it's counterclockwise. You'11 also often find the dairy section in the back left comer: Because dairy is likely on your list,stores make sure you take the longest route to get there. In fairness,it's also a more convenient place to put a fridge.
2. Everything is in its place
It's safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance. The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement. More expensive items are usually placed at an adult's eye level,while colorflil treats and other products for kids are positioned lower — to catch the attention of children.
3. Time goes by so slowly
Stores rarely have windows or clocks. With no reference to the outside world,customers can easily lose track of how long they,ve been there so that they can buy more. Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷磚) .
4. Goods are an art form
Grocers know exactly what shade of banana you,re most likely to buy. To ensure the bananas on display are the closest to this shade,stores use a ripeness scale that ranges from one (all green) to seven (yellow with brown spots) . Some stores even use special lighting to make bananas look more appealing. As for the water sprayed on the other produce? It makes veggies look fresh,but keeping them wet actually makes them rot faster. It also makes produce heavier — and therefore pricier.
6. Why do stores usually put dairy in the back left comer?
A. Because it is a quiet place.
B. To make people buy more.
C. To attract people's attention.
D. Because most people are right-handed.
7. You are more likely to find toys.
A. in comers
B. on lower shelves
C. at an adult's eye level
D. at the end of a passage
8. Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?
A. They are useless.
B. There is no space for them.
C. To make customers stay longer.
D. To allow customers to enjoy themselves.
9. Stores use special lighting to make bananas .
A. heavier B. look fresh
C. rot slower D. more attractive
10. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Secrets of stores
B. Advantages of stores
C. How to shop in stores
D. How to operate a store

While the first part of the news is upsetting,the end results are much more optimistic. Gavin,a teenager with Asperger's Syndrome,was beaten up just for being different. Asperger,s Syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person's ability to socialize. This explains why Gavin sometimes appears distant from his schoolmates.
On Thursday night,some kids were talking about how “it's weird(怪異的) ” that he is always by himself,attending events alone and watching people,and they thought it was “creepy” that he wanted to be friends with people he didn't know.
On Friday night,another kid that overheard that conversation decided to take matters into his own hands and become judge,and this is the result of that. He didn't ask questions,didn't get to know Gavin,never met him,and didn't give him a chance to leave. Gavin was called to meet someone,surrounded by people he didn’t know,choked,hit,and left lying on the pavement so he would “leam his lesson”.
A friend of Gavin's mother shared photos on Facebook of the injuries to his nose,eyes and esophagus(食道）. Luckily,Gavin is doing OK and none of the damage is permanent. Instead of pressing charges or fighting back,Gavin' s reaction speaks volumes.
He requested the bullies’ community service be disability related,that they write a paper on Asperger's,and that they watch a 20-minute video statement he taped while their families were present so they could see the damage they did and hear the event from his perspective.
Instead of an actual “punishment”，he wanted the kids to truly leam about Asperger's Syndrome. Hopefully this will lead to the teens being more tolerant and no one else ever going through the pain that Gavin did. After all of that,Gavin's mom's message couldn’t be more true to parents and teachers alike:
“If you are reading this,I hope you can talk to your teens,tell them about disabilities you can't see,teach them to be tolerant of people that are different,teach them that if they continuously see someone alone,ask questions first and get to know one another. Maybe it is not their choice to be alone."
10. Gavin is always alone because .
A. he enjoys being alone
B. he is always upsetting
C. he suffers from a disease
D. he doesn’t like his schoolmates
11. Which can best replace the underlined word wcreepyw in Paragraph 2 ?

12. Why was Gavin beaten?

C. He refused to make friends with a kid.
D. He didn't take school lessons seriously.
13. How did Gavin react to his injuries?

C. He decided to turn to court for help.
D. He asked the bullies to leam from the incident.

Two days before Christmas,I was shopping in a local grocery store. I bought a lot of vegetables and some food for my two children. My cart was full as I entered the checkout lane(付款通道) . 1
It was beginning to snow and I found that the lady looked worried. 2 I turned back and insisted she go before me. She was surprised and then she thanked me sincerely.
3 We took advantage of this little time and had a nice chat about kindness. I told her that she seemed close to my mother's age and I hoped that someone would do the same for her.
After her goods were tallied(清點）, she was handed a receipt. Her receipt had a message that she would receive a special gift for a child at customer services. 4
As I stood there,I felt that there may have been a child that would benefit from that gift in her own family or circle of friends and realized that one act of kindness could have a chain reaction. Had I denied myself that opportunity to practice this random act,I would have received the “free gift” receipt. 5 Furthermore,by allowing myself the opportunity to show generosity,I also received a gift 一 the satisfaction of helping others.
A. Seeing this,she was delighted.
B. She thought I was just telling a joke.
C. But I knew in my heart that she needed it more.
D. It occurred to me that I should do something for her.
E. There were still several people waiting in line before us.
