Four Inspiring Movies
Forrest Gump（1992）
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent（动荡的）times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a “Weird Al” song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.
It's a Wonderful Life（1946）
No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past. Let's go with this Christmas classic, about a man with serious financial troubles who intends to commit suicide（自杀）by jumping off a bridge. His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for those close to him had he never been born. Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen.
Dead Poet's Society（1990）
John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad.
A Beautiful Mind（2001）
This movie tells the story of John Nash（Russell Crowe）, a professor at Princeton, a US university, who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid schizophrenia（精神分裂症）. With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.
1. What can we know about It's a Wonderful Life
A. It proves a big heart important.
B. It has a happy ending.
C. It tells a story of friendship.
D. It is famous for the leading role.
2. Which film are Robin Williams' fans more likely to watch
A. Forrest Gump. B. I's a Wonderful Life.
C Dead Poet's Society. D. A Beautiful Mind.
3. At the end of A Beautiful Mind，the professor___________.
A. became a famous expert in psychology
B. got his family's support for studying game theory
C. gained lots of experience in treating schizophrenia
D. defeated the disease and went on to pursue maths
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一则电影广告。文章介绍了四部鼓舞人心的电影。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据It's a Wonderful Life（1946）中Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen. “意识到自己对别人有多重要，他急忙回家，各种各样的快乐，鼓舞人心，圣诞节般的事情发生了。”由此判断出，“It's a Wonderful Life”有一个快乐的结尾。故选B。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Dead Poet's Society（1990）中John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad. “约翰·基廷(罗宾·威廉姆斯饰)是一所著名寄宿男校的高中英语文学老师，他鼓励学生挑战权威、独立思考，却因此惹上了学校管理的麻烦。它肯定是鼓舞人心的，如果不是也令人沮丧的悲伤。”由此判断出，Robin Williams的粉丝更有可能观看电影Dead Poet's Society.故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据A Beautiful Mind（2001）中With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.“在家人的关爱和支持以及医学专业人士的帮助下，他成功地克服了精神疾病，并继续在数学领域做出贡献。”由此可知，在《美丽心灵》一书的结尾，教授战胜了疾病，继续追求数学。故选D。
B
Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.
Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions.Feeders(喂食器)can definitely help birds get through that kind of weather.But most birds eat insects and show little interest in bird feeders.For those birds，we can grow native plants in a natural environment.Birds which are fond of eating seeds will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby.This lets them feed and then fly to protective areas，such as in trees.
The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by，risk being hurt by cats，or risk flying into windows.
So set up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window.That way，if a bird gets frightened，it won’t get killed when it hits the glass.Owners of cats should keep them inside home so they can’t hurt the birds.
Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.This can also increase the number and diversity of birds in your neighborhood.But don’t feed wild birds anything salty，like potato chips，or food that could choke them，like bread.
Pay attention to food quality and freshness.Unprotected food left too long in feeders will turn moldy(发霉)，which can kill wildlife.
Another word of advice:Always provide a supply of clean water for birds，but use care when looking for the right birdbath.If the birdbaths are too deep for birds，putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit.
4. What’s the most common mistake about feeding birds
A. Putting feeders in improper places. B. Providing food in inappropriate time.
C. Leaving feeders unprotected. D. Supplying dirty and deep water.
5. Which of the following may not be suitable for feeding birds
A. Seeds. B. Bread. C. Fruit. D. Insects.
6. The author advises helping more birds by_________.
A. increasing the number of feeders
B. cleaning the birds with clean water
C. putting more large stones in the feeders
D. keeping aggressive birds away from the feeders
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Problems with bird feeding.
B. Where to place bird feeders.
C. Popular ways of protecting wild birds.
D. How to feed wild birds safely and healthily.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，人们在喂鸟的时候无意中会给鸟儿带来危险，文章具体解释了这些危险并提出了安全喂鸟的建议。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by，risk being hurt by cats，or risk flying into windows.”可知人们在喂鸟的时候，最常见的错误是把喂鸟器放在错误的地方，这样给鸟儿带来了很多危险。故A项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“But don’t feed wild birds anything salty，like potato chips，or food that could choke them，like bread.”可知作者建议人们不要喂给鸟儿薯条和面包，因为这些食物不适合喂鸟。故B项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段第三句“A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.”可知作者建议我们把食物放在多个地方，并提供不同种类的食物。这样做，自然是要增加喂鸟器的数量。故A项正确。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife. But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.”可知本文主要讲述的是喂鸟会给鸟儿带来一定的危险；第三段介绍了具体的危险，后四段里提出具体的安全喂鸟的建议。故D项“How to feed wild birds safely and healthily”符合本文中心思想，故选择D项。
C
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of the world face food shortages and are starving. It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.
You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food. After all, they do desert stuff that is past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell fruits or vegetables that are in the wrong shape or look damaged. They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as “buy one and get one free”.
But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings. In Europe, an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She moved from Russia many years ago and was amazed to see the abundance of food available in the supermarkets. But despite so much availability, she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.
She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk (大量) so that people bought only what they needed. She produced a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste.
Clearly, we need to think twice when we buy something in supermarkets or online, and when we’re at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our remaining food with our friends and neighbors.
8. Why are supermarkets to blame for food waste
A. They store spare items. B. They damage bad stuff.
C. They display new arrivals. D. They hold sales promotion.
9. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Benefit. B. Demand.
C. Cause. D. Challenge.
10. What do we know about Selina Juul
A. She contributed to reducing food waste. B. She made an extraordinary discovery.
C. She was a pioneer in cooking leftovers. D. She focused on the availability of food.
11. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Start sharing extra food. B. Switch to online shopping.
C. Increase the varieties of food. D. Improve our cooking methods.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章讨论了导致食物浪费的原因和可减少浪费的办法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as “buy one and get one free”.(他们还遭到了谴责，因为他们通过“买一赠一”等促销活动让顾客购买量远远超出其所需)”可知，超市被谴责食物浪费的原因是超市举行促销活动。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings.(但是造成食物浪费的最大的culprit是我们人类)”及后文In Europe, an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year.(在欧洲，令人难以置信的是，53%的食物浪费来自家庭，导致每年8800万吨食物浪费)可推知，人类是导致食物浪费的最大原因。由此可知，划线词与cause意思接近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She produced a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste.(她制作了一本剩菜食谱，并在学校发起了一项教育计划，这帮助大幅度减少了25%的食物浪费)”可知，Selina Juul为减少食物浪费做出了贡献。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our remaining food with our friends and neighbors(把我们剩下的食物用完，甚至把剩下的食物与我们的朋友和邻居分享)”可知，最后一段作者建议我们分享多余的食物。故选A项。
D
When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. ''Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, '' said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. ''And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them. ''
Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, ''One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work. ''
12. What do we know about Tom
A. He received little love from his family.
B. He had few childhood friends
C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.
D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
13. Vaillant's team obtained their findings by_______________.
A. recording the boys' effort in school
B. comparing different sets of scores
C. evaluating the men's mental health
D. measuring the men's problem-solving ability
14. What does the underlined word ''sharp'' probably mean in Paragraph 4
A. Clear and definite B. Quick to react
C. Having a thin edge D. Sudden and rapid
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one’s success.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了从小开始帮忙做事的孩子建立起了较强的责任感、独立、自信以及其他能力，这些孩子能够容易与更广泛的人群建立良好的人际关系，拥有更美满的婚姻和生活。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier.可知，Tom对工作更满意，婚姻更幸福而且也更健康。C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.(他喜欢他的职业和婚姻)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.(在Vaillant的指导下，研究人员将男性的心理健康得分与他们的少年活动得分进行比较。兼职工作、家务、学习努力和处理问题的能力都可以加分)可知，Vaillant的研究是通过对比不同的得分来获得发现。B. comparing different sets of scores(对比不同的得分)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段的The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed.可知，这些人在孩童时期的行为和成年后的表现之间的联系是惊人的sharp。那些在童年时代参加过更多活动的人，与各种各样的人之间建立联系的可能性是其他人的两倍，获得高薪的可能性是其他人的五倍，失业的可能性比其他人小16倍。根据句意猜测划线部分的意思是“明显的”。A. Clear and definite(清晰明确的)符合以上说法，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. (童年活动帮助孩子发展责任、独立、自信和竞争力——这是心理健康的基础。它们还帮助人们理解人们必须合作，为共同的目标而努力。最有能力的成年人是那些知道如何做这件事的人)可推测，童年活动——心理健康的基础是成年后成功生活的必要条件。B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.(心理健康对于成年的精彩生活是必不可少的)符合以上推测，故选B项。

Four Tips for High School Graduates
Over three-million high school students are graduating this spring in the United States. Many of them will head to university in the fall. The transition (过渡) from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.
Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest. ___16___ If you know someone who is making this transition or know parents guiding their soon-to-be adult kids through this time, please take a moment to share this collection of research-based tips with them.
Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus. Even during orientation (迎新会)! ___17___ Your success in college depends, in part, on surrounding yourself with others who can support you and help you have fun.
___18___ Successful adjustment is about reaching out for help when you need it. This means trying to find the answers on your own first, but then contacting those who can help you when you can’t. That is what they are there for!
Lean on your family. Family support can give you comfort when classes get hard or you are stressed about finals. ___19___ Strong support from family is linked to lower loneliness and depression during the first year of college and higher academic adjustment including motivation and concentration.
Be confident. Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows, professors, and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college. One of the best ways to increase your communication confidence is to practice! ___20___
A. This list is for you.
B. The more you speak up in class, the easier it becomes.
C. Don’t be afraid to talk to your professors or teaching assistants.
D. Joining clubs is also linked to feelings of belonging at college.
E. Your professors and teaching assistants want to see you succeed in their classes.
F. Almost everyone is in the same boat as you are, hoping to make friends quickly.
G. Family members can give you advice and help you solve problems if you need help.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文为今年春天在美国的300多万高中生毕业的四点建议。
【16题详解】
根据上下文Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.可知，也许你正准备自己完成这个转变，或者你的孩子即将离开家。A选项中的you和前文相符，且语意（这份清单是给你的）承接上下文，故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus.一踏上校园就开始结交新朋友。可知F选项中的make friends和本段主旨句中的making new friends相符，且句意（几乎每个人都和你一样，希望能很快交到朋友）联系上下文。故选F项。
【18题详解】
分析句子结构可知，空处填本段的主旨句，再根据下文内容，可知首先你要自己找寻答案，在你不能的时候去联系能帮助你的人，故C选项可以概括下文，且下文That is what they are there for!中的they指代选项中your professors or teaching assistants.故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的第一句Lean on your family. 可知G选项中family members与主旨句中的your family相呼应，且句意（当课程变得困难或你对期末考试感到压力时，家庭支持可以给你带来安慰）联系上下文，故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows, professors, and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college. 在向大学过渡的过程中，对与同事、教授交流以及在课堂上发言感到焦虑与较低的适应能力有关。可知B选项中speak up和前文内容的speaking up相呼应，且句意（你在课堂上讲得越多，就越容易。）联系上文，故选B项。
【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的方法之一，也就是说选项中的某些单词在文章当中重复出现，我们可以利用这个方法解决这一类题型。第2、4、5小题都是利用这个方法。

【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：竞争非常激烈。be动词后接形容词作表语。故填competitive。
【43题详解】

3 that →where
4.speak→speaking
5. interest 后加in
6 it→there
7. newspaper→newspapers
8. very→great
9 better→best
10 expecting→expectation
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习英语的重要性。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。句意：英语在我们的社会中扮演着重要的角色。形容词essential发音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。故将a改为an。
第二处：考查连词。句意：我第一次学英语的时候就爱上了它。the first time第一次，为连词短语，所以连词when多余。故将when删去。
第三处：考查定语从句。句意：现在我喜欢能说英语的环境。句中为先行词situation，在定语从句中充当地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故将that改为where。
第四处：考查非谓语动词。句意：说英语可以让我自信。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少主语，所以用动名词充当主语。故将speak改为speaking。
第五处：考查介词。句意：如果你对英语失去了兴趣，没有必要抱怨。固定短语lose interest in对……失去兴趣。故在interest 后加in。
第六处：考查固定句型。句意：如果你对英语失去了兴趣，没有必要抱怨。固定句式there is no need to没必要做某事。故将it改为there。
第七处：考查名词的数。句意：读报对你有很大用处。名词newspaper是可数且前面没有限定词，所以用复数形式。故将newspaper改为newspapers。
第八处：考查形容词。句意：读报对你有很大用处。名词use前用形容词修饰，be of great use非常有用。故将very改为great。
第九处：考查短语。句意：如果你充分利用每一分钟来学习英语，你的英语将会有意想不到的提高。固定短语make the best of充分利用。故将better改为best。
第十处：考查名词。句意：如果你充分利用每一分钟来学习英语，你的英语将会有意想不到的提高。beyond expectation出乎意料。故将expecting改为expectation。

Four Inspiring Movies
Forrest Gump（1992）
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent（动荡的）times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a “Weird Al” song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.
It's a Wonderful Life（1946）
No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past. Let's go with this Christmas classic, about a man with serious financial troubles who intends to commit suicide（自杀）by jumping off a bridge. His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for those close to him had he never been born. Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen.
Dead Poet's Society（1990）
John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad.
A Beautiful Mind（2001）
This movie tells the story of John Nash（Russell Crowe）, a professor at Princeton, a US university, who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid schizophrenia（精神分裂症）. With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.

Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.
Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions.Feeders(喂食器)can definitely help birds get through that kind of weather.But most birds eat insects and show little interest in bird feeders.For those birds，we can grow native plants in a natural environment.Birds which are fond of eating seeds will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby.This lets them feed and then fly to protective areas，such as in trees.
The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by，risk being hurt by cats，or risk flying into windows.
So set up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window.That way，if a bird gets frightened，it won’t get killed when it hits the glass.Owners of cats should keep them inside home so they can’t hurt the birds.
Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.This can also increase the number and diversity of birds in your neighborhood.But don’t feed wild birds anything salty，like potato chips，or food that could choke them，like bread.
Pay attention to food quality and freshness.Unprotected food left too long in feeders will turn moldy(发霉)，which can kill wildlife.
Another word of advice:Always provide a supply of clean water for birds，but use care when looking for the right birdbath.If the birdbaths are too deep for birds，putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit.
4. What’s the most common mistake about feeding birds
A. Putting feeders in improper places. B. Providing food in inappropriate time.
C. Leaving feeders unprotected. D. Supplying dirty and deep water.
5. Which of the following may not be suitable for feeding birds
A. Seeds. B. Bread. C. Fruit. D. Insects.
6. The author advises helping more birds by_________.
A. increasing the number of feeders
B. cleaning the birds with clean water
C. putting more large stones in the feeders
D. keeping aggressive birds away from the feeders
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Problems with bird feeding.
B. Where to place bird feeders.
C. Popular ways of protecting wild birds.
D. How to feed wild birds safely and healthily.
C
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of the world face food shortages and are starving. It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.
You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food. After all, they do desert stuff that is past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell fruits or vegetables that are in the wrong shape or look damaged. They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as “buy one and get one free”.
But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings. In Europe, an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She moved from Russia many years ago and was amazed to see the abundance of food available in the supermarkets. But despite so much availability, she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.
She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk (大量) so that people bought only what they needed. She produced a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste.
Clearly, we need to think twice when we buy something in supermarkets or online, and when we’re at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our remaining food with our friends and neighbors.
8. Why are supermarkets to blame for food waste
A. They store spare items. B. They damage bad stuff.
C. They display new arrivals. D. They hold sales promotion.
9. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Benefit. B. Demand.
C. Cause. D. Challenge.
10. What do we know about Selina Juul
A. She contributed to reducing food waste. B. She made an extraordinary discovery.
C. She was a pioneer in cooking leftovers. D. She focused on the availability of food.
11. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Start sharing extra food. B. Switch to online shopping.
C. Increase the varieties of food. D. Improve our cooking methods.

When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. ''Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, '' said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. ''And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them. ''
Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, ''One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work. ''
