Many people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor.But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren’t careful.Here are a few tips for you：
Don’t test your luck.Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars，especially if you’ve recently invested in some improvements.But listing a home at a price that’s too high above the market price could turn away some buyers.
Buyers noticing that the home still hasn’t sold may begin to assume there’s something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price.And if a home hasn’t received any offers after two weeks，it might be time to reset the price.
A price that’s too low can bring about an undesired outcome.Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple (many) offers.But setting the price too low comes with several risks.One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for 15,000 to 20,000 less than similar homes in the area，especially if it’s not properly marketed.Once again，people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.
Spy on the competition.Going to other people’s open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market.Check out the finishes in their kitchens，the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price.But don’t set your pricing just on what you see elsewhere.
1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．To be at a disadvantage.
B．To get the upper hand.
C．To have control over the situation.
D．To be unable to fit in.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后的“if they aren’t careful”及后文给出的例子可以推断画线部分的意思是“处在劣势”。
2．What should home sellers do according to the passage?
A．Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.
B．Price your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.
C．Change the price if no offer has been received within a week.
D．Change your house at a price slightly below the market price.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple (many) offers.”可知答案选D。
3．If you set the price of your house too low，
.
A．buyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a look
B．you are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellers
C．your house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of days
D．chances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Once again，people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.”可知，人们可能认为房子有问题，觉得没有必要花时间去看一下。
4．What is the benefit of going to other people’s open house?
A．You can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.
B．You can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.
C．You can work out how much money you should ask for your home.
D．You can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“...figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price.”可知答案选C。

Recently，I was invited to a writing class at my old high school.I accepted the
8
because it’s always fun to see what young writers are up to.A few hours before the class，I got the
9
that I often get before I go into a school—nausea(反胃) and the fear that I’m about to get into
10
.
When I
11
into a school，all the old feelings come back：
12
teacher is going to get mad at me；the headmaster is going to make me take a note home.
But I’m not alone in having
13
feelings from school days.Often people talk about bad
14
they still have about being unprepared for a(n)
15
test.Others say that being picked on and not being
16
for a team are still terrible memories for them.So it’s no
17
that adults sometimes act like they’re still in school.
My
18
memories are about teachers getting mad at me.I was often ashamed of the serious crime of “talking out of turn”，a guy who couldn’t keep his
19
shut.
I realize that the answer is to face the feelings，
20
avoid them.So I volunteer at a school once a week.Each week，I’m a little more
21
when I walk into the office to
22
.And I admit that sometimes when the headmaster
23
me with a smile，I think he’s planning to call my mother to say I should dress a little nicer
24
I visit his school.But by the end of my time there，I feel
25
.
Now I’m
26
my next volunteer day at school.In fact，I might get there a little earlier so I can spend
27
more time there.

(REUTERS/Jason Lee) Zhou Xiaochuan，governor of China’s central bank，a highlevel Chinese official on Sunday made the government’s first admission that the country’s economic slowdown was not going as planned.He told a meeting of regional leaders that his country’s growth rate had tumbled “a bit too much.”
“China’s inflation is also declining，so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue，and if deflation will happen or not，” said Zhou，His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia，an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China.Zhou added that China could “have room to act” by taking “quantitative measures” and setting interest rates.
For many，the way he described China’s health was no surprise.The country’s economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s.Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins.Banks are carrying loads of debt，too，and the housing market is slowing.China’s official 2015 GDP growth target is 7%，but that seems shaky.
Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China.Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption.It is a brutal process，but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the selfsustaining superpower it wants to be.
(Barlcays)Until now，while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough，it had assured the world that the situation was under control.Just a few weeks ago，Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures.
Now it seems they are warming to the idea.In January，China’s headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%，then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February.March probably isn’t looking that great either from the People’s Bank of China’s point.
“Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation，especially after adjusting for seasonal effects，point to persistent deflation risks，” Barclays wrote after February’s number came out.“In our view，the monetary policy needs to be more ‘proactive’ in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term.”
1．Which of the following illustrates “growth rate had tumbled” in Paragraph 1?
A．setting interest rates
B．economic transition
C．bounce of CPI
D．FIGURE 1
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。联系下文“China’s inflation is also declining”中国的通货膨胀也在下降。可知这个短语指的是中国的增长率已经下降了。图1正好说明了这个下降趋势。故选D。
2．We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could be
if needed.
A．monitoring deflation
B．expanding foreign investment
C．making new policy measures
D．reducing domestic consumption
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Zhou added that China could ‘have room to act’ by taking ‘quantitative measures’ and setting interest rates.”周小川补充说，通过量化方式和设定利率，中国还有行动的空间。可知应对经济放缓的一个方式是制定新的政策措施。故选C。
3．Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A．Zhou’s admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible.
B．The Chinese government has admitted that things aren’t going so well.
C．China should be more active in its struggle against inflation.
D．China’s economy has been growing fast since the 1990s.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。阅读短文可知这篇短文主要介绍了中国经济放缓的事实，并谈到了中国为应对经济放缓可能采取的一些措施。故选项B “中国政府承认中国的一些情况不太好。”符合本文主题。

BEIJING—Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple’s iPhone.The Chinese maker known for lowpriced phones on Thursday unveiled(发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple’s iPhone 6 but thinner，lighter and much cheaper.The phone starts at 2,299 yuan(375)，less than half the 5,288 yuan (865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.
Xiaomi，founded in 2010，passed South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co.in the second quarter of last year as the bestselling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold.The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.
Xiaomi “is a respected brand that already has an Applelike following” in China，said analyst Brian Blair，who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities.Apple is still a relatively small player in China，selling about 45 million iPhones there last year，Blair estimates，but will continue to grow.
“Apple is very much a premium(高端的) brand，” said Blair.“The company that’s more at risk is Samsung，which has been losing share in that market.”
Privately held(私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year’s sales tripled to 61.1 million phones and revenue(收益) more than doubled to 74.3 billion yuan(12.2 billion)．The company，based in Beijing，recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at 45 billion，making it one of the world’s most valuable technology brands.
Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden’s LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.
In a blog post earlier this month，Lei called the case a “rite of passage(成年礼)” for a young company.
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.
B．Compared to Xiaomi，Apple’s iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.
C．Lowprice is Xiaomi’s advantage over Apple’s iPhones.
D．The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The phone starts at 2,299 yuan(375)，less than half the 5,288 yuan(865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.”可知小米的低价是它同苹果相比的优势。故选C。
5．What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?
A．More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.
B．Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.
C．He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.
D．Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Apple is still a relatively small player in China，selling about 45 million iPhones there last year”可知今年iPhones将会售出超过4 500万个iPhones。故选A。
6．How is the 5th paragraph developed?
A．By giving examples.
B．By analyzing cause and effect.
C．By providing data.
D．By making comparisons.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。by giving examples通过举例；by analyzing cause and effect通过分析原因和影响；by providing data通过提供数据；by making comparisons通过比较。根据第五段的数据可知这段是通过提供数据展开的。故选C。
7．What’s the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?
A．Negative.
B．Satisfied.
C．Positive.
D．Doubtful.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The company is expanding into India and other developing markets”和最后一段表明他对小米在印度发展的态度是积极的。故选C。

How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are meanspirited at times，loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.You love them for the fact that they created you，raised you，and are in part a source of who you are.Here are some ways to love your parents.

A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart.Remember that they brought you into this world.Without your parents，we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments.You can use these moments to learn from them when you’re off on your own.It’s OK to get angry but angry actions don’t help you or your parents.Act calmly，cool off，journal about your feelings，or talk to a friend.
9
Obey their requests.It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them.It may seem like you are going through hell when you don’t get what you want or you have to clean.However，you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it’s cold，raining，snowing，or too hot.Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.
10
Since you can forgive your friends，why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them.Do things with your parents like watching TV，or go somewhere with them.
11
Listen to their old stories and learn from them.You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents.
12
Seek help if you are being abused in any way.Parents do not have a right to harm you.
A．Forgiveness is the key.
B．Tell them you love them every morning.
C．Parents will in turn express their love to you.
D．After this，share your feelings with your parents.
E．Please remember parents are as important as friends.
F．Anyway，spend as much time with them as you can.
G．There can be realistic reasons for this，family violence for example.
