12、ys into a graduate year in England, and I was dragging a heavy backpack and suitcase through the London Underground. I was also crying uncontrollably.The day before yesterday, my uncle had _21_ me that I was never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again. Earlier, I had made a silly, jokin
13、g remark. It was never meant to _22_ my aunts feelings, but it did. I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth ( ), _23_ as I spoke to a friend who lived in England. As a 22-year-old _24_ had been raised to respect and trust adults, I believed my aunt and uncle when they said Id _25_ the re
14、lationship between themselves and family. When I left the phone booth, I went back to a _26_ house with three closed bedroom doors. I did not sleep. In the morning, I _27_ everyone get up and leave; no one knocked on my door. When it was quiet, I wrote a note of _28_ and left it in my uncles bedroom
15、. I dragged my bags to the train station. Coming to England seemed like a _29_ decision. Still worse, no lifts at the station were working. Crying yet again, I tried to lift my suitcase up the _30_. Suddenly, there were hands. No one said anything, _31_ each time I faced another set of steps, a hand
16、 would catch the suitcase handle and _32_ it. At the top of the steps, the hand would let go, and Id pull the suitcase to the next set. And just as I was about to _33_ again, another hand would appear suddenly. It happened several times. I never looked up and say thanks _34_ I couldnt stop crying. I
17、 do remember that each _35_ looked different, and that many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything. That was the last time I saw or spoke to _36_ of those four family members. Yet when I think about that terrible _37_ in 1998, I remember those strangers hands. They were there
18、when I needed them, and even now, they pull me _38_ the sadness of that memory. I think of them as I _39_ the underground in Washington D.

Deserves 20 2 5 1 45 ) A B C D A Looking up at the ceiling, Na He Jeon pours porridge into her mouth. She carefully dips the bowl forward, dropping the por
22、ridge directly down her throat, careful not to touch the 15 ulcers( ) in her mouth. But it was the week before midterms, so she still had to study. Jeon was 1st out of 3 30 students on her exams that year. Thank god I did, she says. If I hadnt done well I would have been regarded as a failure. By th
23、e end of the week, 14-year-old Jeon weighed only 83.6 pounds. Like Jeon, there are countless numbers of first generation Asian-Americans who make great efforts to go beyond at everything. Yet the children themselv es cannot all be put to blame for their efforts. Typically, it is the parents wh o are
24、 designing a life which they see as perfect for their children. One such occurrence is when I was at my hotel in Beijing. It was roughly around 8:00 p.m. when I decided to take a dip in the pool after dinner. I jumped into the pool that was already spotted with a few Chinese children and I hadnt rea
25、lized what was going on until I took notice of the parents calling out orders and instructing their children. I saw various children all under the age of 10 taking laps across the pool trying various styles. If a childs foot was too bent, her parent would demand that she straighten it. If a child wa
26、s kicking too slowly, his parent would order that he go faster. I couldnt help but pity the children whose parents were taking the opportunity to give a swimming lesson, rather than just let them enjoy their time during the holiday. Either because of their parents or their own desire, first-generati
27、on Asian-Americans put forth their 110% in order to be accepted into one of the best American colleges. Asian-American students want to see As, 100%s, and perfect scores. According to Jeon, Asians complain that students with a 4.0 GPA and 2400 SAT simply cannot be rejected from top schools. To their
28、 disappointment, however, they often are. The ethic( ) of this aggressive work also exhibits itself via sports and other after-class activities. What sets Asian-Americans apart, however, is that they fight to be excellent in whatever it is that they do. Be it playing the piano or performing in math
29、competitions, Asian-Americans look to be in first place. Although it may cause unnecessary stress, such a driven work ethic is a commendable quality. Often blamed for lacking in creativity, Asian-Americans can actually make up for the absence of imagination with their determination. The average Amer
30、ican can dream creative dreams, but that only matters if he or she can make it happen in reality. Asian-Americans, instead, can gather creative ideas to produce something concrete. Yet with such a drive to succeed, Asian-Americans have somehow twisted their definition of success. Rather than looking
31、 at personal achievement, they refer to numbers, statistics and scores to rate their success. It seems as if desire and the sense of free will are nonexistent in certain Asian-American students as they mercilessly drive themselves to an inevitable burnout. Their desire to be the most-talented is an
32、impossible dream. In a fruitless attempt, they try to be the best in a world already full of winners. . It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that _. A. Na He Jeon had to give up the midterm test because of her illness. B. Na He Jeon complained about the heavy study pressure from parents. C. Na He Jeo
33、n was struggling hard to achieve academic success. D. Na He Jeon was worrying about negative comments from classmates. . The writer mentions the scene of the swimming children in paragraph 2 to _. A. stress parents decisive role in driving children to be winners B. show parents special skill at inst
34、ructing children in everything C. emphasize childrens painstaking efforts to satisfy their parents D. describe childrens determination to face the fierce competition . The word commendable in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _. A. complex B. admirable C. natural D. fundamental . According to Asi
35、an-Americans, success lies in _. A. realizing imaginative and creative ideas B. achieving individual accomplishment C. winning scholarships to top schools D. rising to the top in scores at everything . The writers purpose of writing this article is to _. A. express sympathy for Asian-American childr
36、en B. advocate academic competition among students C. stress that personal success means more than high scores D. analyze the problems in school education B EVERY YEAR, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe theres spyware on their computer, or a servic
37、e they use suffered a security reach - as eBay did this year, leaving customers at risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess: Security company SplashData reports that the most popular passwords in 2013 were 123456 and password. Fear not: It is a lot easier than you might think to
38、set up proper defenses. In fact, you can easily do it all in a weekend. Heres how. Clean Your Computer And Smartphone Before you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out a
39、ny spy- or malware that may have already infected your system. Go with AVG Free Antivirus (free. Avg. com) or Avast! (avast. com) -each is free. Run a full system scan. This can take over an hour, so start it before settling into other plans. When you return to your computer, clear out anything that
40、 shouldnt be there with a few simple steps (the program will guide you). These days, its also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app (lookout. com) to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be. Security Your Wi-Fi Now that your computer is clean, you should plug any holes in your home network. Its fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if theyre able to share your conn
