I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping.We both knew we wouldn't be buying much.
   I remember I was looking up at the people we walked by.Ladies wore five-inch heels and bright clothing.Men wore expensive scents（香水）and creams that might wipe away the wrinkles （皺紋） on their faces.An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest.I could deny it no longer；I was ashamed of my mother.
   We were in a high-class neighborhood-I knew that.We lived in a small，overpriced apartment building at the edge of our county.Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good.I realized for the first time that we didn't belong there.
   I could see the heavy lines around mom's eyes and mouth.She wore cheap clothes and worn-out shoes.Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet，and her hair was too gray for her age.
   My mom is nothing extraordinary，yet at that moment，she stood out because she was just so plain.I didn' t want to be seen with her，although there was no one important around to see me anyway.I felt embarrassed about being at her side.
   We were standing in the middle of a high-end store，and mom was holding a sweater.She said， "This will look good on you.Do you want it？" It was much too expensive，but I almost thoughtlessly answered "yes".Then I took a closer look at the small，tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands，happy to be giving me something so nice.My words died in my throat.
   Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones.She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me.She didn't wear jewelry or perfume because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.
   Suddenly，my mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.
   I was no longer ashamed of her，but of myself.
   "Do you want it？" my mom repeated.
   "No，thanks，" I said.

2．Hunter ran his first 30 kilometres.It was not easy for him，but he made it.Months earlier，he wasn't in any condition to run five miles，let alone 18.6 miles，the distance of a 30 kilometres.
   One day，early in the morning，my wife Lisa discovered that our older son，Hunter，had been playing video games since he got home from school the previous day.What she found angered both of us.
   We were sick of the amount of time Hunter spent playing video games.He would often sleep until 2：00 p.m.on Saturdays because he stayed up playing games until 3：00 in the morning.
   Driven to break our son's life style，we tried several different approaches，like limiting the amount of time he was allowed to play games each day，but we couldn't find anything that worked consistently.He always seemed to go back to the game，especially when we were not there to monitor him.
   It's not that I'm against video games；I am just against playing them every waking moment at the expense of exercise.In an attempt to ensure that our kids did not become addicted to games，I came up with an idea：Game time in our house would have to be earned，just like money.Each mile run equals 30 minutes of video-game play.We put no limit on the number of miles Hunter could run in a day，so the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run.The first couple of days didn't go very well.Hunter got sick of the idea and refused to run at all.Eventually，Hunter decided he would give running a shot.
   It never occurred to him that running was giving him a sense of purpose.Hunter even planned to join a marathon and hoped to become the youngest family member to complete one.It was my hope that running teaches him to invest his time in worthwhile causes，not just video games.I never want him to stop challenging himself.

（1）What do we know about Hunter？

A．He was dishonest.
B．He was academic.
C．He was lazy.
D．He was a video game addict.
（2）What's the author's attitude towards video games？

A．Indifferent.
B．Objective.
C．Favorable.
D．Opposed.
（3）How did Hunter like running in the end？

A．It was meaningful.
B．It was tiring.
C．It was boring.
D．It was skillful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？

A．To Run or Not
B．An Ambitious Runner
C．From the Screen to Running
D．The Benefits of Running

3．"Like a monster，it destroys everything."That's how one schoolgirl described a tsunami（海嘯）.
   On Dec.26，2004，a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Indonesia set off a massive tsunami.It killed more than 290，000 people across a dozen countries and cost an estimated ﹩10 billion in damage.
   Nov.5 is World Tsunami Awareness Day and at the United Nations，disaster risk reduction was high on the agenda.
   "What I can tell you is that the tsunami wave cannot be stopped，" said Bulgarians U.N.Ambassador Georgi Velikov Panayotov.He was on vacation in Thailand in 2004 and survived the tsunami. "What we can do is build early warning systems and，of course，educate the population about the damaging power of the tsunami wave，" he said.
   On March 11，2011，a magnitude 9 earthquake rocked northeastern Japan triggering a fierce tsunami that also damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant，south of Sendai.
   "When the big earthquake hit Japan in 2011，people thought that we were prepared for it，" said Japan's U.N.Ambassador Koro Bessho. "It caused severe damage.We had dams；we had drills.However，we had been counting on something that hits every 100 years and the earthquake was of the size of possibly every 500 years or thousand years，"he said.
   These two events sent the countries of the region into overdrive to review and improve disaster preparedness.In 2015 the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was born.It aims to help create a better understanding of disaster risk and improve preparedness for an effective response.
   Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands which are disaster prone（災害頻發(fā)區(qū)）.Willem Rampangilei，head of Indonesia National Board for Disaster Management，said his government now has plans for every disaster prone city.
   Countries at risk are also expanding their education programs.Children from an early age are taught how to react in case of a tsunami and then go with their classmates to higher ground away from coastal areas to avoid the walls of water the tsunami triggers.

B．Ways for humans to face a tsunami.

B．The improvement of preparedness can reduce damage.
C．Proper response in case of a tsunami can save one's life.
D．Stronger measures should be taken in disaster prone areas.
（4）Which can be the best title of the text？

A．World Tsunami Awareness Day
B．Nations Attacked by a Massive Tsunami
C．The Unpredictable and Destructive Disaster
