Steven Jobs，who passed away on October 5 ,2011，was an American computer enterpriser and inventor. He was co-founder，chairman，and CEO of Apple Corporation. Jobs also previously served as CEO of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of the Walt Disney Company in 2006，following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.
In the late 1970s，Jobs-along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak，Mike Markkula and others-designed，developed，and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers，the Apple II series. In the early 1980s，Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface(界面),which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985，Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT，a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets.

He remained CEO and majority shareholder at 50. 1 percent until its acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2006.Consequently Jobs became Disney's largest individual shareholder at 7 percent and a member of Disney's Board of Directors. On August 24 ,2011 ,Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple's CEO. Jobs died in California at age 56，seven years after being diagnosed with cancer.

When my grandfather left school, he got his first job as a office worker. In those days, he was extreme thin. He paid very little, so he could not afford to eating a lot. I have one or two photos of her from that time, and he looks just like me, but a lot thin! When he grew older, he worked at all sorts of thing, such as reporting for a local newspaper and worked as a part-time salesman.

Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.
Evan Lutz, CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, was inspired to act after seeing extreme
poverty in areas of Baltimore, Maryland. He wants to reduce the so-called food desert in that area. His work is to make sure no food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America. And he
combines that goal with a love for business.
Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells "ugly produce". These are fruits and
vegetables that most food companies will throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to "ugly" surface. Everything doesn't grow the same way on a farm. But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out. That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar, shiny and perfect. Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.
For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came from his upbringing.
When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot
more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn't just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison and were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life."
In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show "Shark Tank" and got even more than he expected: $100,000. Lutz is using the money to realize his great mission that can really revolutionize the food industry in America.
1.The underlined part "food desert" in the second paragraph means .
A. food that grows in the desert B. the poor areas in Baltimore
C. a lack of fresh and healthy food D. the desert where food can grow
2.The food delivered by Hungry Harvest is .
A. popular with local fruit farmers B. easy to be found in grocery stores
C. fresh but hard to keep for food companies D. healthy and available to hungry people
3.Which of the following words can be used to describe Evan Lutz?
A. Strong-willed and smart. B. Kind-hearted and creative.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Open-minded and humorous.
4.What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A. Giving Unused Produce a Purpose B. Making Profits from Shiny Produce
C. Creating Jobs for the Less Fortunate D. Helping the People in Hungry World

Chinese people read less than eight books last year, including both print and e-books, but the average(平均) time spent on mobile reading has for the first time exceeded one hour per day, showed statistics(數據） published by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication on Monday.
This is the academy’s 13th report regarding Chinese people’s reading habits in 17 years. The survey looked at the reading habits of both adults and children from 0 – 80, placing them in four different age groups, across 29 provinces in China.
The number of print books the average person read last year was 4.58, which basically remained the same level as that in 2014. The figure is rather low compared with other countries, with France being 12, South Korea being 11, Japan being 9 and the US being about seven, according to a report by Xinhua last year.
However, in contrast to the tiny increase in books being read last year, people’s interest in mobile reading has seen a rise. The average time Chinese people spent reading on their cellphones is 62.21 minutes, which nearly doubles the previous year’s average time of 33.82 minutes.
And more people are reading via their WeChat app as well. The most popular social networking phone app in China has also been providing public account services, which allow people to read comparatively long articles using the app. In 2015, 51.9% Chinese adults had used WeChat to read, a 17.5% increase on 2014.
But does that mean e-reading is replacing traditional reading in China?
Wei Yushan, president of the Academy of Press and Publication told People’s Daily that it doesn’t seem likely to him. “Having gone through a rapid development between 2011 and 2013, e-books are seeing a slowdown in their sales. Taking the US as an example, the sales growth of e-books has fallen behind that of print books in the past year.” In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading.
1.What does the underlined word “exceeded” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. rejected
B. designed
C. outnumbered
D. explained
2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The time spent on e-reading is more than that on traditional reading.
B. Extra services have been provided to allow people to read short articles.
C. Compared with Chinese readers, the number of Americans is larger.
D. An increase in the interest of mobile reading has been seen.
3.How does the writer develop the text?
A. By giving explanations.
B. By analyzing reasons.
C. By listing figures(數據）
.
D. By comparing books.
4.What does the last paragraph talk about?
A. All Chinese people like print books better.
B. Print books still gain popularity of readers.
C. The Sales of E-books have been improved.
D. Wei Yushan isn’t willing to give up e-reading.
