Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
As a person who writes about food and drink for a living, I couldn’t tell you the first thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. But I can tell you that I like this guy. That’s because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage.
I hate tipping.
I hate it because it’s an obligation disguised as an option. I hate it for the post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly, I hate tipping because I believe I would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry.
Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system.
One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips, presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you. Well, if this were true, we would all be slipping a few 100-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny bump in tips when they do an exceptional job compared to a passable one. Waiters, keen observers of humanity that they are, are catching on to this; in one poll, a full 30% said they didn’t believe the job they did had any impact on the tips they received.
So come on, folks: get on board with ditching the outdated tip system. Pay a little more up-front for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perry’s pub, and any other bar or restaurant that doesn’t ask you to do drunken math.

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks,for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.
While this law is not without humor by today' s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today' s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives？
(80) The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒),the need for attention，stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical vic-tim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.
In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度 ) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal.
However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article？ 查看材料
A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide.
B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.
C.In today" s society， there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.

A、double jeopardy
B、due process of law
C、eminent domain

Reading for thinking Read the following passages again and write a comment on the topic Reading on Tablet by analyzing its advantages and disadvantages. You may use some evidences provided in the passage. Parents are being told to turn to iPads and Kindles to get boys interested in reading amid fears large numbers of children are shunning (避开) books at a young age. A report from the National Literacy Trust found that children aged three to five often read for longer and had a better grasp of vocabulary when accessing touch-screen technology. The study found that tablet computers (平板电脑) had a particular impact on groups that are traditionally most resistant to reading—particularly boys and infants from poor families. Researchers found that boys were more likely than girls to use technology for educational activities and to read for a relatively prolonged period. The study also found that more three-to five-year-old children now had access to e-readers in the home and the number of nurseries and childminders using the devices had almost doubled in the last 12 months from 22 to 41 per cent. Touch-screen technology “could be a vital new weapon to combat low literacy in key target groups”, the study said. But the recommendations are likely to renew concerns that exposure to screen-based entertainment at a young age risks damaging children’s development. It came as an editorial published in the latest edition of the British Journal of General Practice warned that children were “more susceptible (易受影响的) to developing a long-term problematic dependency on technology”. The essay, by Aric Sigman, an independent lecturer in child health education, quoted research that found over-exposure to video games had a similar effect on the brain as cocaine (可卡因) and alcohol addiction, with extreme users showing signs of depression, anxiety and social phobia (恐惧症). But Jonathan Douglas, the trust’s director, said it was crucial “that we recognize the opportunities that technology brings for engaging boys and poorer children in reading”. “Our research confirms that technology is playing a central role in young children’s vocabulary development,” he said. “Nearly all children have access to a touch-screen device at home and as technology advances and digital skills become increasingly important, we need to harness these developments to encourage children to become avid (热衷的) readers, whatever format they choose.” The study—jointly carried out with the publisher Pearson—was based on a survey of more than 1,000 parents with young children combined with a poll of 567 early years workers. It also analysed the link between vocabulary and reading practices among 183 three- to five-year-olds. Researchers found that 6.3 per cent of children only read “once or twice” a week and one per cent did not read at all. Traditional books were still the favored reading method for all children to read but researchers suggested that boys and infants from poor homes were increasingly shifting to technology such as the iPad, Kindle, Samsung Galaxy and Microsoft Surface.
