A
Though many people think of summer as a time to slow down and enjoy a vacation, it can also be the perfect time to make money or get experience. Here are some good summer jobs for you.
Survey-taking
Survey-taking is a way to make money during your summer holiday, especially if you live in an area that doesn't have many chances. With a computer or smartphone, you can sit on your sofa and search for survey sites such as Surveys On The Go, InboxDollars or Swagbucks. Without much effort,you can start making money for your opinions. However, the ease of use comes with a low earning potential.
Food Delivery(递送）
If you enjoy driving, you can use your car to deliver food. You can sign up to deliver food from restaurants with services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. Another choice is delivering daily used goods with services such as Postmates,Shipt and Instacart. The earning potential for delivery can be higher than for other jobs because customers often give tips. The disadvantage is that these jobs require you to put in more time.
Photo Applications
If you go to the mall, you can use an app such as Field Agent or Gigwalk to make money by taking pictures of products in stores. See any help-wanted signs in the store windows Take a picture and get paid for each one you find.
House Sitting and Pet Care
Summer is a time when people take vacations and may need someone to look after their homes or pets. Services such as HouseSitter and MindMyHouse connect homeowners with proper house sitters(看房人）。For animal lovers who would rather care for someone's pet while they are away, you can turn to services like Rover.
21. What do we know about making money through Survey-Taking
A. It's interesting.
B. It requires special knowledge.
C. It takes much time.
D It requires little effort.
22.Why is the earning potential for Food Delivery higher than for other jobs
A. you work longer hours.
B.You can get some extra reward.
C.You need to drive your own car.
D.You deliver food for many people.
23.Which app should you use if you enjoy looking after animals
A.Rover.
B.Uber Eats.
C.HouseSitter.
D.Swagbucks.

The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We live about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(边界）．My family and I went to Parc Safari,Quebec,a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有仓门式后背的汽车）so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.
The time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.
Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels,giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth(吐白沫） at the mouth and we had camel slobber(口水） all over the car and us.
It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home,it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.
24. Where did the author live when he was 7 years old
A.In Canada
B Near the Canadian border
C.In the central US
D.In Parc Safari
25.We fed the animals something
A.Offered by people living there
B.We bought for them
C We prepared for ourselves
D.Cooked by my sister
26. What does the underlined part “gross out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Surprised B.Excited C.Tired D.Uncomfortable
27.What does the author intend to do
A. To revisit the place he went to at seven.
B. To take his 7-year-old son to a zoo.
C. To have a family trip in his own country. D. To have a holiday abroad with his parents.

Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素）。Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.
“Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan.
Generally,people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interaction(互动）such as falling in love or giving birth.
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37.Half of the participants(参与者）received oxytocin. The other half received placebo( 安慰剂）。 After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.
Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions.
The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.
The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded: “ Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors(因素） that are mainly hormonal.”
28.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text
A.Oxytocin. B.Placebo. C.The gesture. D.The social status.
29. What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment
A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.
B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.
C. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.
D. Our body produces oxvtocin when we feel unhappy about others' success
30.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment
A. To know people's different abilities to answer questions.
B. To know the differences between friendship and competition
C.To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.
D.To test people's understanding of body language.
31.Where is this article probably taken from
A.A lecture script. B.An advertisement. C.A personal diary. D.A health magazine.
D
When I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many kinds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about 200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids. But maybe it's worth it. Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior and even evolution(进化） of these birds.
Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be
seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the spotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks(鸟喙） of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.
Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth century, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced.As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005,Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment show.
Is bird feeding completely good for birds Not everyone thinks so. Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe---probably wrongly---that bird feeding creates a“dependence culture”。
But we shouldn't forget one major benefit of feeding garden birds--- it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and flying around in my garden. It's a sight I could only imagine years ago,when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.
32. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1
A.Feeding garden birds is a huge waste of money.
B. We should care more for our kids rather than garden birds.
C.We spend quite a lot of money on the food of garden birds.
D.Feeding garden birds can bring more joy than feeding kids.
33.Which is the reason behind the fact that many birds' beaks become longer
A.These birds have given up traditional woodland.
B.Longer beaks mean more chances of survival
C.Food for these birds becomes richer and better
D.These birds grow faster than ever before.
34.What do some bird experts in Australia think of bird feeding
A. It is completely good for birds.
B. It may reduce birds' ability to find food by themselves.
C. It connects more and more people to the natural world.
D. It may help the spread of disease.
35.How does the author feel when he hears bird noise outside his window
A.Annoyed.
B.Bored.
C.Surprised.
D.Pleased.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Between school, homework, sports,your after-school job, and hanging out with friends, it may feel like there's no time for healthy eating. And when you have time, you may simply eat snacks like potato chips.36 In fact, if you have a busy schedule, it's even more important ta eat healthy foods that give you the energy you need to keep going._
37______For example, you may feel hungry in a long afternoon of classes or during your swim meet.Knowing how much food your body needs to satisfy this hunger is important.A few walnuts(核桃）are great brain food before sitting down to do your math homework. 38
Healthy snacking is important to you. During teenage years, the body needs more nutrients to grow. Snacks are a great way to satisfy your hunger and get all nutrients your body needs. 39_Do not eat foods with lots of added sugars like candy bars or soda. That's because eating these foods may help you stop feeling hungry for a moment, but they are bad for your health in the long term.
Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. 40 We may find “all natural”on the side of a package but it doesn't necessarily mean it's nutritious. For example, “all natural” juice drinks can be filled with sugar, which means they'll make you fat easily and give you little nutrition.
A. It's natural to feel hungry at certain times.
B.Healthy snacking doesn't have to be boring.
C.But you need to pay attention to what you eat.
D. If you're really feeling hungry, don't pay no attention to it.
E. But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack.
F. But a whole bag only makes you put on weight easily!
G. Be careful of the health information on food packages.
