I took up baking（烘焙）when I was twelve.At that time I was working on my school bakery project with my classmates.I tried a few times，but I wasn't very successful.My parents advised I learn from my grandmother（食谱）and instruction as well.After two years' practice，I was able to make delicious bread.I have come to realize making bread means a lot to me although it takes a long time.
To make bread，others usually use quick﹣rise yeast（酵母），but I don't.Every Saturday morning，sugar etc，I take time to wait for the dough to rise.This is my way to slow down and smell the roses.
Baking does require great patience.In my hands，the dough is slowly growing.It's becoming softer.I can feel the change，which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living.To me，but I enjoy it.
I've stuck with my grandmother's recipe without making any change.Now this tradition has continued for years.Sometimes，in order to fit it in，I have to change my schedule.But I have never considered giving it up.
By the time my children get home from school，the bread has been baked and cooled.They step into the house and the first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm，honeyed air.My bread﹣baking has also helped them to slow down and understand the value of taking their time and leading an unhurried life.
（1）How is the writer's bread﹣﹣making different from others'？
A．She uses less water.B．She uses more sugar.
C．She doesn't bake it a long time.D．She doesn't add quick ﹣ rise yeast.
（2）Which word best describes life in modern times according to the writer？
A．RelaxingB．ExcitingC．FastD．Happy
（3）What does the underlined "it" in paragraph 4 refer to？
A．The recipe.B．The plan.C．The change.D．The tradition.
（4）What does the writer want to leach her children to do？
A．Do things in a slow way.B．Bake bread at an early ago.
C．Be thankful for parents work.D．Gel home from school in time.
C
Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital technology".As much，they use digital technology too much，they are losing their ability to do simple things.They can't make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner.And worst of all
"I have talked with a number of teachers.They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones，but have few or no skills to make things."said a teacher，Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."
Instead of playing with other children，more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietlyplay on a tablet （平板电脑） on weekends and after school.How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paint brush and develop his painting skill？How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age？
Digital technology can be used for good or bad.We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house.We shouldn't blame the children.We should help them make right choices.It is certainly necessary forchildren to know how to use digital technology in today's world，but what is more important，we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.
（1）What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph？
A．Children can't make things themselves.
B．Children make too many friends online.
C．Children don't want to communicate with others.
D．Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home.
（2）According to Colin Kinney，which of the following is TRUE？
A．Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things.
B．Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.
C．Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.
D．Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.
（3）What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese？
A．表扬B．原谅C．评价D．责怪
（4）What does the writer mainly want to tell us？
A．It's very important for children to have social skills.
B．It's very helpful for children to do some housework.
C．It's necessary for parents to learn lo use digital technology.
D．It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.

In the park，you see a group of people，all looking up at the sky.Without thinking about it，someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in.You do too，Why？
Sometimes，you feel you are acting correctly when you do the same as others.The more people follow an idea，the better or truer you think the idea is.It's the social proof （社会认同感）
The scientist Asch carries out an experiment.It shows how social proof can influence people.In a room，a man is shown Line 1，and next to it are three lines （A，B，C），C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1.He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1.When the man is alone，he gives the correct answer
B.Then five other men enter the room，and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to.Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer
C.Asch gets the same results among different subjects （实验对象）.
Why do people act like this？Well，in the past，following others was a way to keep from danger.Suppose that 5.000 years ago，they all ran away.What would you have done？Would you have stayed？No.You would have run too.You are descendants（后代）of those who copied other's actions.It is so so deeply planted in your mind that you still use it now.
Social proof has special power.The advertising industry，for example，often makes use of it.So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular".
（1）At the beginning of the passage，the writer leads in the topic by .
A.telling a story B.giving examples
C.answering questions D.showing a map
（2）According to Paragraph 3，the experiment by Asch shows .
A.following others is always right
B.social proof may change people's ideas
C.it's difficult to carry out the experiment
D.people can study better if they are alone
（3）According to the passage，we can infer that .
A.it's important to run with others anytime
B.products in the advertisement are the best
C.we mustn't copy others actions to keep safe
D.we need to think twice before following others
