What do you do with old stuff? That dress you bought for a party three years ago, for example. You wore it once and put it away somewhere. So, what to do? In the UK, we might take it to a charity shop. The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th century. The Salvation Army was one of the first to run a second-hand clothing shop to provide the needy with affordable clothes. This was followed by charities such as the British Red Cross, who also relieved hardship and raised money for the war effort during World War Two. In 1947, Oxfam opened a charity shop in High Street, Oxford, which is the modern form we know today. These days, charity shops are a common sight with around 11, 200 shops across the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. During business hours the public can donate their unwanted items to a charity shop-clothes, books, electronics, furniture. These items are checked for wear and tear and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price. For many, this is a win-win situation. To the charity, it means a valuable source of income. To the consumer, it provides the opportunity to buy, often extremely cheap items and clothes. To the donator, it may help to assuage consumer guilt. “You can make a pretty good case to yourself that you are doing good, because what you are doing is going towards a charitable cause and you are saving stuff from landfill(垃圾堆),” Clare Press, fashion journalist and sustainable style advocate, tells the Guardian. There are sometimes hidden treasures for the buyers, too. Take a screen print for example. It was bought for 99p and later found to be by English artist Ben Nicholson. It was sold for￡4, 200. So next time you need to rid yourself of something, spare a thought for the charity shop-after all, charity begins at home! 【1】The text is mainly written to________. A.comment on the benefits of charity shops B.analyze the popularity of the UK charities C.list the names of the first UK charity shops D.introduce something about UK charity shops 【2】Modern charity shops might be run by________. A.British Red Cross B.The Salvation Army C.Oxfam D.Charity Retail Association 【3】What does the underlined word “assuage” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Ease. B.Add. C.Mix. D.Increase. 【4】What does the author advise people to do in the last paragraph? A.Get rid of unwanted items. B.Start charity from daily life. C.Be environmentally friendly. D.Make a difference for the future. |

If you asked me to dance, I’d probably freeze on the spot and some people say I have two left feet! But with some persuasion and Dutch courage I can be tempted to take to the dance floor and shake some moves-and that, apparently, is only natural. Experts have found as well as being fun, dancing might have helped us to survive as a species. Evolutionary anthropologist(人类学家) Bronwyn Tarr from the University of Oxford believes that dancing alone is one thing but it’s dancing as a group that makes our brain reward us with a cocktail of feel-good hormones that change how we feel about ourselves and those around us. This is likely to lead to profound social effects. It’s keeping paces with others that makes us happy. Bronwy Tarr says that “dancing fosters social closeness between people. It helps us build social connections and communities. In our past, those social connections would have been critical for surviving.” Dance is also a good way to keep fit and improve our mental health. In Wales there have been calls for doctors to prescribe dance classes to people who are unwell. The Arts Council of Wales claims there are many health benefits. And Bronwyn Tarr says “more and more we’re actually discovering that your longevity(长寿)-your life expectancy-is predicted by the social connections that you have…still today it’s something we should do more of.” It could be part of being a conservative Englishman that makes me a reluctant dancer. Look at other nationalities such as Cubans where dancing is at the heart of their cultural identity. And in Brazil at Carnival time, people let their hair down by dancing together day and night. They seem to be having a good time-so maybe I should get on my feet and dance! 【1】What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A.He doesn’t like dances. B.He does not dance well. C.He lacks confidence in dance. D.He does everything out of nature. 【2】What can be inferred from Tarr’s words in Paragraph 2? A.Dancing alone doesn’t benefit at all. B.Dancing with others helps people survive. C.It is funny to keep paces with other people. D.It matters most to dance on social occasions. 【3】How does the author feel about dancing in the last paragraph? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Unclear. D.Objective. 【4】Which is the best title for the text? A.What makes you a real dancer? B.What can dances bring us? C.Why do people love to dance? D.How can we dance well? |

If you’re a procrastinator(拖延的人), you’re familiar with the pain and stress that goes hand in hand with leaving things to the last minute. Even if you want to accomplish or finish a task, you’re likely having trouble getting started in the first place!【1】 Change your mind. Stop punishing yourself for procrastinating. The more stressed out you are, the harder it’ll be to get your work done. Don’t be angry with yourself. Just move on and focus on what you’ve got to do instead.【2】Wasting time yelling at yourself for not starting that 2, 000-word essay two weeks ago will only make you extra tired and frustrated. It will also stress you out, likely making it impossible for you to finish your assignment at that time. Avoid a long disorganized to-do list. This is just setting yourself up for failure. Instead, create subcategories like “Home”, “Work”, “Family”, and “Fun” and just try to cross off a few entries from each list every day. Do most important task for 15 minutes. Instead of thinking about the total number of hours you’re about to work for, just start. Tell yourself you’ve only got to do it for 15 minutes.【3】Once you come up for air, take a two-minute break. Then start up on another set of 15 minutes of work. 【4】It can be scary to think about finishing a whole essay or getting through an entire week’s worth of tasks. Instead of thinking about everything you have to do like one big obstacle, break it all down into tiny pieces.【5】 A.Break tasks down into small pieces. B.Never think about the past experiences. C.Guilt and regret are negative emotions. D.However, there is always some time when you can’t pull through. E.If 15 minutes still sounds too frightening, do something for just 3 minutes. F.Thus, you’ll be able to get started on the smallest piece and go forward from there. G.Hopefully, there are several strategies that can help you stop procrastinating right now. |
