“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”
The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day:
December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same
message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.
One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully
designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation
on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said:
“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”
The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping
it was a
website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.
When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,
“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you
wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.
Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime
had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much
cheaper and faster.
Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it
was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some
interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A
government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories
suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died
in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.
Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing
or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.
Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and
looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep
at his desk at 4 a.m..
When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Sto
trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.
28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?
A. An invitation to a company opening.
B. The website address of a new company.
C. The words “
Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.
D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.
29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?
A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.
B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.
C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.
D. So people would find the new company interesting.
30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about
Anytime?
A. It may be very dangerous.
B. Its popularity would soon decrease.
C. It was doing business all over the world.
D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.
31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?
A. Scared that he would get into trouble.
B. Confident that he would find the truth.
C. Nervous about what the company would do.
D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.
D
Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once
required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your
screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating
certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29
-year-old office manager
from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible
one-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few w
here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express
their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends
have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that
have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous
clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily
understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of
ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a
the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate
feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?
A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B. He complains about social manners.
- word messages.
C. He can’t bear one
D. He dislike a busy business life.
33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?
A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?
A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B. People use their own slang and customs.
C. There are large quantities of written rules.
D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?
A. To obey their own digital communication rules.
B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D. To keep pace with digital communication development.

What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more
success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. ___36___. Thus, when the big ones come,
we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with
our old reptilian (爬行动物似的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional
survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, to “look good.” Let’s just face it.
___37___ So the
first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger,
impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find
solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort. But
the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set.
___38___
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are fe even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. ___39___ But to really care for ourselves, get
curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually h you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
___40___ When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you
are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m b can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.
A. Practice positive self-talk.
B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D. Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.
G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.

had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much
cheaper and faster.
Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it
was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some
interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A
government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories
suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died
in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.
Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing
or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.
Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and
looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep
at his desk at 4 a.m..
When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Sto
trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.
28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?
A. An invitation to a company opening.
B. The website address of a new company.
C. The words “
Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.
D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.
29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?
A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.
B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.
C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.
D. So people would find the new company interesting.
30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about
Anytime?
A. It may be very dangerous.
B. Its popularity would soon decrease.
C. It was doing business all over the world.
D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.
31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?
A. Scared that he would get into trouble.
B. Confident that he would find the truth.
C. Nervous about what the company would do.
D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.
D
Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once
required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your
screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating
certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29
-year-old office manager
from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible
one-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few w
here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express
their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends
have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that
have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous
clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily
understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of
ly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a
the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediate
feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?
A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B. He complains about social manners.
- word messages.
C. He can’t bear one
D. He dislike a busy business life.
33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?
A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?
A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B. People use their own slang and customs.
C. There are large quantities of written rules.
D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?
A. To obey their own digital communication rules.
B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D. To keep pace with digital communication development.

What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more
success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. ___36___. Thus, when the big ones come,

first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger,
impatience, blaming and shaming. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.

curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually h you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
___40___ When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you
are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m b can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.
A. Practice positive self-talk.
B. So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C. Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D. Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E. We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F. The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.
G. Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances.
