Being a polite airline passenger starts with just a few easy steps.
Help your fellow traveler
While you're loading your carry­on bag into the overhead space, offer to lift a fellow passenger's up there, too. Not only is it kind, but it could make the boarding process more efficient for everyone else.
Keep your personal things well, personal
It's important to be mindful of your personal belongings. Avoid hitting other passengers with your bag, as you walk down the aisles(过道), by keeping it in front of you and close to your body. And once you sit down, you should stay there, and make sure you have everything you will need for the flight once you settle in your seat. Reaching over other passengers to access the overhead storage during the flight is uncomfortable for everyone.
Respect your (limited) space
In the narrow space of an airplane, maintaining your personal space will go a long way towards making a smoother ride for everyone. Let the middle­seat passenger use the armrests (it's the least you can do), and keep your legs within the width of the chair frame.
Be willing to swap seats with a family
Airlines sometimes reserve certain seats for special passengers or charge extra fees for adjacent(毗连的) ones,making it tough for family members to buy seats together. If you're traveling alone, offer to switch seats so that a family can sit beside each other; it's a kind gesture that they won't forget. But be sure to delay swapping until the plane has reached the safe altitude,as switching seats while everyone is boarding can be an inconvenience for those standing in the walkways.
【1】To be a polite airline passenger, you need to do the following except________________.
A.lending a helping hand to your travelling companion
B.using the armrests to support your arms if you want
C.avoiding reaching over others to open the overhead storage
D.keeping your bag in front of you while walking down the aisles
【2】If a man wants to swap the seat with you, you should__________________.
A.charge extra fees for offering adjacent seats
B.ask him to reserve the seat online in advance
C.offer your seat and stand in the walkways
D.put off swapping unless it is safe enough
【3】Where can you most probably find the text?
A.In a daily newspaper. B.In a literature book.
C.In an airport guidebook. D.In an official document.

Driven by her passion for providing quality healthcare, a Latvian woman has won over the hearts of the elderly residing in the nursing home she oversees.
It is incredibly rare to find a Caucasian woman working as the director of a nursing home in Shanghai. But the fact that Anastasija Puzankova can even converse in Liantang, a Chinese dialect spoken only by residents in a small town in southwestern Shanghai, makes her one of a kind.
“I had always wondered how the elderly were getting along with others, or if they were well cared for. I realized that I could better serve them and understand their concerns if I spoke their dialect.” says the 35-year-old, who also speaks Russian, English, Latvian, French and Spanish.
Puzankova chose to study Sinology(汉学) out of her curiosity about China at the University of Latvia in 2003. The next year, she traveled to Shanghai as part of an exchange program and then she spent the next 10 years studying law at Fudan University, graduating with a master's degree in 2014.
Despite her qualifications, in 2018, Puzankova joined Haiyang Group, a Shanghai-based company that operates the nursing home, as an executive assistant. During that period, she performed so well in her nursing and management training that she was appointed the director of the home after just one year.
A caregiver, surnamed Cai, says the atmosphere at the home has changed since Puzankova took charge. “She makes life in the nursing home uplifting and purposeful.” says Cai.
“She throws monthly birthday parties for the elderly, creates a festive mood in the home for every traditional festival and frequently organizes handicrafts classes and activities to stimulate the minds of the residents.”
When family visits and group activities were delayed during the novel coronavirus outbreak, Puzankova came up with a similar idea at the home, purchasing vegetable seeds and growing them in the field near the nursing home so that the residents can observe the plants growing from their windows.
“Just watching the plants grow can lift their spirits. We can also serve these organic vegetables to them.” she explains.
Puzankova says, “I simply like communicating with people, understanding their personalities and offering help when they are in need. Making an elderly person happy isn't hard. It just takes a little time, love and thought.”
【1】Why did Anastasija Puzankova learn the Chinese dialect Liantang?
A.To satisfy her superior.
B.To research its history and popularity.
C.To communicate with the elderly better.
D.To prove her language learning capacity.
【2】During the novel coronavirus outbreak, Puzankova ____________.
A.forbade family visits forever.
B.created a festive mood in the home.
C.organized some outdoor activities for the elderly.
D.planted some vegetables for the elderly to watch indoors.
【3】What can we learn from Puzankova’s story?
A.Time tests.
B.Hard work pays off.
C.Love breaks down barriers.
D.Education is the key to success.
【4】The best title of the passage could be “ _________”.
A.A foreign face with a local soul
B.A language expert with a loving heart
C.A nursing home with a woman director
D.An executive assistant with a master’s degree

In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.
“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”
But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability(易损性). “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.
“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not exist in the world.” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
【1】People in many cultures honor the egg because _______________.
A.it is their major source of protein in winter
B.it is a welcome sign of the approach of spring
C.it can bring wealth and honor to them
D.it can easily be made into a work of art
【2】What does the underlined word “elevate” in Paragraph 2 mean ?
A.carve B.promote C.place D.lower
【3】Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?
A.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
B.She always achieves great pleasure from designing something new.
C.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
D.She believes there won’t be evil in the world once the egg is made.
【4】The following statements are right except that _______________.
A.the decorated “eggs” are favored as a form of fancy art in Russia
B.contemporary artists draw on eggs to reflect anxieties of people today
C.the delicate nature of eggs appeals to Roz Chast
D.eggs provide a hard and unique surface to paint on

Amazon wants to be able to answer the troublesome question: Did I leave the stove on? The latest home security tool by Ring,a home security company owned by Amazon, is the Always Home Cam, a flying drone that can help homeowners check their apartments whenever they’re not in.
The Always Home Cam is a lightweight, self-docking, flying indoor camera that can take a predetermined path set by its user.When used with Ring’s proprietary home alarms systems like the Ring Alarm, the Always Home Cam will take flight and check the house for any potential disturbances. The drone unit can also be controlled remotely and manually. After a flight, the Always Home Cam automatically returns to its station itself for charging. It only records while in flight, too.
You can ask it to fly to check the stove while you’re out, or to see if you left the windows open. It’s also great for checking on naughty pets. The drone has obstacle avoidance technology built-in, and hidden propellers(螺旋桨) to mitigate any damage to household furnishing in the event of a collision. Amazon says the drone will automatically take flight if there’s movement in the house to show you what’s going on.
The device was one of several that Amazon unveiled Thursday as part of its annual appliance event. Due to the pandemic, this year’s version was held online instead of at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters.
The indoor flying camera, called the Ring Always Home Cam, still needs approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, but Amazon said it expects to sell it next year at $250. It will also launch a camera and alarm system for cars next year under its Ring brand.
Critics have raised privacy concerns about Ring, which is best known for its doorbell cameras, citing the company’s close relationship with police departments. Amazon said the drone only records when it is in the air, and that it makes a sound when it flies so any people in the house knows its recording.
【1】What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Amazon’s camera can check whether your stove is on.
B.New devices were unveiled on Amazon’ annual appliance event.
C.Critics raised privacy concerns about the Always Home Cam.
D.The Always Home Cam can ensure your safety.
【2】What can the Always Home Cam do?
A.It can take a path set by computer.
B.It can record when you are out.
C.It can get charged by itself.
D.It can take flight at any time.
【3】What do we know about the Always Home Cam?
A.It was unveiled at Amazon's Seattle headquarters.
B.It will be sold at $250 next year.
C.It can lessen damage to furniture for its obstacle avoidance technology.
D.It records in the air,not found by anyone.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the Always Home Cam?
A.favorable B.critical C.doubtful D.objective

Top tips for the Flu Season
It’s coming. 【1】 On the subway every time someone coughs, I look up to see if I can move a little further. As I exit the train, I immediately reach for hand wash to remove any of the dirt on my hands. The flu season is here, and I take it seriously.
If you are young and healthy, it’s most likely that you will just feel uncomfortable for a week or two, and miss some work or study. If you are elderly, having medical problems, or are a young child, you may not be so lucky. Each year more than 200,000 people are staying in hospital due to the illness. 【2】
The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated. You may have heard about a new study on flu vaccines, and it found that the flu vaccine didn’t work as well as we thought or would like. 【3】 In adults, the vaccine is 59 protective on average. For children the story is better. Clearly, we need better vaccines but it’s still a really good idea to get vaccinated.
【4】 You may have an arm pain or a little fever, but the injection does not contain a live virus and cannot give you the flu. If you got the flu shot last year, do you need it this year? It isn’t clear how long protection lasts and if the vaccine protects against different flus for only one year.
Finally, here is some advice about what to do if you get the flu.
Call your doctor early if you have the symptoms.
【5】 That will reduce the number of people you give this to.
Cover your coughs and sneezes.
Keep your hands clean. Use soap and water or hand wash frequently, especially after coughing or sneezing.
Drink plenty of water.
Best wishes for a happy flu season.
A.Depending on the year, between 3,000 and 49,000 people die.
B.It has already attracted worldwide attention.
C.However, it still offers considerable protection.
D.Stay at home until your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours.
E.Keep in touch with your family as much as possible.
F.Can the flu shot give you the flu?
G.I can feel it in the air.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I believe that all humans are similar but we are all blind to this idea due to cultures, religions, and appearances that all form wrong ideas separating us as humans.
I recently had to privilege to travel to Africa. This trip allowed me to see a lot more of the world than most students my age. Two years ago, a week after completing my second year in high school I flew to Nairobi, Africa. This day on June 11, 2011 I did not know what to expect.
As a culturally blinded prep school student I stepped off a plane after an exhausting twenty-three hours of sitting. I was immediately exposed to an unknown world. The language as well as skin colors, facial expressions, clothing styles, and the atmosphere changed as a whole.
I was expecting this trip to create huge distinctions between the people of Africa and myself. I learned the total opposite. On the first day I bonded with the school children; I played a soccer game filled with laughter, raced between schoolhouses until our legs gave out and wouldn’t let us run anymore, and hopped in a jump rope contest with a group of enthusiastic girls. When I managed to escape from the lively children and their exciting games, I attempted to make sense of what I had just experienced. My brain was filled with various thoughts, until a little girl with smooth skin, shaved head, and a torn blue and green sweater walked over and hesitantly grasped my wrist. She inspected my hands and rubbed my fingernails. She let my hands drop and she looked at her own with the same attentiveness. Her eyes rose as she began to evaluate my face. I sat down on the earth so that we were eye level and likely for interaction. She then ran her hands through my curly hair and placed her hands on her own head. Then she looked into my eyes; I looked back into hers. Charmed in the moment, I tickled(挠) her stomach, although we were both a stranger to each other. Immediately the school bell rang, she released a smile and ran towards her classroom.
