I am a mother of three children and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was social study. The last class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. I turned around and found there standing behind me were two poor homeless men with a horrible “dirty body” smell. The short gentleman, close to me, was “smiling”. His beautiful sky-blue eyes were full of light as he searched for acceptance. The second man played with his hands uneasily as he stood behind his friend. The short man just asked for a coffee because that was all they could afford. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate dish.I then walked around the corner to the men’s table. I put the dish on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said “Thank you”. I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down, my husband smiled at me and said, “That’s why God gave you to me, Honey. To give me hope.” On the last evening of class, I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and we all knew that we need to heal people and to be healed. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: Unconditional Acceptance. “Love People And Use Things — Not Love Things And Use People.” 【1】Why did the people around the author back away? A.Because the second man stood playing with his hands. B.Because the two homeless men were also waiting in line, with a bad smell. C.Because the short gentleman was smiling to everyone around. D.Because both men were poorly dressed and mentally ill. 【2】After the author handed the meals to the homeless men, she _________. A.regretted and cried B.turned in her project C.went back to her husband and son D.talked with them for a long time 【3】What kind of woman do you think the author is? A.Lovely. B.Mature.

If you find yourself hitting the snooze button(闹钟延时按钮) every morning, don't blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame. Research now shows that, for many of us, our work schedules don't go with our natural body clocks—and experts are urging employers to take notice. Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most companies are ignoring. When work schedules are aligned with people's natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more innovative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also true—when employees are not getting enough sleep they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries. But it's not just about the amount of sleep you get. It's important that every organism, from primitive bacteria to human beings, has a biologically determined internal body clock. This determines whether you are a night owl(夜猫子), an early bird or somewhere in the middle. We don't have any choice. “It's like feet,” said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology(生物钟学). “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.” Many companies start the workday at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m., putting their work schedules in disagreement with their employees' body clock. This mismatch, along with the pressure to be productive and be available to respond to email or take calls at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from what is called “social jet lag” . In other words, their bodies are always in the wrong time zone. He estimates that more than 70% of people get up earlier than they should. “There is an old saying that sleep is for the weak,” said Olson. But now, “I do feel like there is a shift happening where people realize it doesn’t help to have shortened sleep. Sleep is a topic that companies want to hear about.” 【1】The underlined word “aligned” in Paragraph 2 means “________”． A.matched B.cooperated C.conflicted D.shortened 【2】What does Till Roenneberg' s remark really mean? A.The amount of sleep you get counts much. B.An early bird does better than a night owl. C.We are born to have a body clock. D.Most people have neither too big nor too small feet. 【3】What‘s the main reason why people suffer from “social jet lag”? A.Because they don’t have enough sleep. B.Because they have the great pressure to be productive. C.Because they fail to get along well with others. D.Because their body clock is inconsistent with the work schedule. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.Body clock and good work habits B.Late for work? Maybe not your fault C.How to improve your work efficiency D.Urgent need to change your body clock |

Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests. Past researches show that people's earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults. For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldn't be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form. As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained. "We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is …a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, " study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, "Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come~ over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to babyhood. " "Importantly, the person remembering them doesn't know this is fictional," study co-author Martin Conway said "In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often don't believe it. " 【1】What can we learn from a recent study? A. Memories form after the age of 3. B. Participants are good at telling stories C. Adults are likely to form false memories D. Earliest memories may play a trick on us 【2】Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories? A. A direct experience. B. A family story. C. A family photo. D. A sad feeling. 【3】What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar? A. They are repeated mental representations. B. They are a collection of early experiences. C. They are a combination of both facts and fictions. D. They are further details of remembered experiences. 【4】Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from? A. Society. B. Psychology. C. Technology. D. Health. |

New Virus Details Show Challenge for Outbreak Control At first, scientists were relieved that the new virus, COVID-19, wasn’t as dangerous as those that caused SARS. Ebola or some other recent infectious diseases.【1】. Here are some of the challenges. Multiplying infections According to the existing data, the infection rate for SARS is 3 while the ordinary flu’s infection rate is about 1.1. Now, based on the first 425 confirmed COVID-19 cases, each infection led to 2.2 more infections on average.【2】. Yet we don’t know whether the new virus is weakening or is still learning what it can do. Varying incubation periods (潜伏期) Scientists estimated the average incubation period was roughly five days, but said it could last up to two weeks.【3】. People can move away from where they got it and not even remember places where they may have been exposed. Spreading in stealth Another big worry is that one person with no symptoms can also infect others. On Thursday, scientists reported that a woman who was not ill at the time spread the virus to a man in Germany during a business trip there.【4】. Testing gaps 【5】. At present, a few types of test kits (工具包) have been developed. But they are not accurate enough. Scientists are not sure how many false alarms or missed cases each might give at any point in time. That leaves a key gap. Although scientists are still faced with so many challenges, they are confident that the new virus will be put under control soon. A.More testing equipment should be provided at once B.It’s still a struggle to determine who is or is not infected C.Such a long potential incubation period can be a problem D.The rate is a bit lower than SARS but much higher than ordinary flu E.That is a very low infection rate compared with that of SARS and Ebola F.Then he infected several other coworkers before showing any symptoms G.However, new details show how challenging it could be to control this outbreak |

Diets have changed in China — and so too has its top crop. Since 2011,the country 【1】（grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 【2】 past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent. A taste for meat is 【3】 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice 【4】 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 【5】 rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 【6】 (pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 【7】 (globe)fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government 【8】 (start) a soil-testing program 【9】 gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while 【10】 (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele. |
