Soft cries came from the back seat about halfway through road trip home. Allison heard her 2-year-old daughter’s voice asking: “Ruff Ruff ” She suddenly realized her daughter’s favorite toy dog, Ruff, had been left behind at the Doubletree, a hotel in the capital. Allison said she felt terrible about forgetting her daughter Juniper’s comfort companion. As soon as the family unloaded the car that night, she called the hotel and learned that Ruff was in the lost-and-found and would be mailed to them in a day or two.
Three days later, a box arrived at the Allison’s home addressed to Juniper. Inside, next to Ruff, she found a tin of cookies, a note and some photos, which showed how Juniper’s toy dog had spent her solo vacation at the Doubletree. “Dear Juniper,” the note read, “thanks for letting us borrow Ruff for a day! Don’t worry, she didn’t work hard and we gave her plenty of playtime! Hope you and Ruff visit us again soon! Love, Doubletree Team.” The funny photos were taken by front-desk clerk Maria. The photos showed her talking on the phone, using a computer, hanging out at the hotel swimming pool and sleeping in the middle of a king-size bed.
“Juniper couldn’t stop laughing as she looked at the photos,” said Allison, who runs a photography business. “The love and care they put into doing this is unbelievable. A lot of times, when kids lose their toys or toy animals at a hotel, they might never see them again.”
She decided to write a post about the hotel’s kind deed on the Internet. She included photos she had taken of Juniper after she was reunited with her dog. “I wanted to do something to cheer people up during the pandemic ( 疫情), and it seems to have worked,” she said. “People started sharing it almost immediately.”

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining（衰落）, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts（理念）reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the advantage of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.
28. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO
A. The number of its customers was declining.
B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.
C. Most of its restaurants were closed.
D. It was in need of financial support.
29. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign
A. To build a good relationship with the public.
B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.
C. To learn about customers’ spending power.
D. To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
30. What do you know about the TV ads of Sparrow
A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.
B. They amused the public with original songs.
C. They focused on the advantage of its products.
D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.
31. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO
A. He made Sparrow much more competitive.
B. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.
D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.
D
Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie — all without other people hearing the sound and without headphones.
That is the possibility presented by “sound beaming”, a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. On Friday, the company introduced a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver.
Noveto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its SoundBeamer 1.0 before its introduction. The AP’s Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie.The sound seems so close that it feels like it is inside your ears while also in front, above and behind them.
Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.
The device uses a 3-D sensing module that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic waves (超声波) to create sound pockets by the user’s ears. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener, therefore the listeners feel completely transported into the scene.
By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when he moves his head. It is also possible to move out of the sound beam's path and hear nothing at all.
While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology.
According to the chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein, a “smaller” version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.
32. What does the underlined word “possibility” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The listener may put on music to block out other sounds.
B. The listener may hear sound only for him or her without using headphones.
C. The listener may enjoy songs or movies without being interrupted by others.
D. The listener may have the ability to pick up some special sounds.
33. What does Louise Dixon think of SoundBeamer 1.0
A. Amazing. B. Impossible. C. Strange. D. Meaningful.
34. How does SoundBeamer put sound in the listener's head
A. It places the listener on the scene to hear the sound.
B. It fixes a sound beam’s path which can not be changed.
C. It follows the listeners around to send and receive sounds.
D. With 3-D tracking technology, it sends ultrasonic waves to the target listener.
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To promote the SoundBeamer. B. To recommend new headphones.
C. To introduce a new sound device. D. To explain a technical phenomenon.

根据短文内容，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。
Keeping your life Busy and exciting
Shake up your routine. It doesn’t matter if other people think you are interesting, it only matters if you think you are interesting. 36 . Whether it is taking a different route home, or calling up a friend you haven’t spoken to in years, give it a try. It’s about surprising yourself, not other people.
Find local events such as markets, festivals, and music events to attend. Pick out things in your area which you think might be interesting and give them a visit. 37 , especially in summer, which don’t involve spending much or any money. By doing these things which aren’t part of your routine, you will keep yourself surprised and energized.
Explore your hometown. When you go on holiday anywhere, the place you are visiting always seems so much more interesting than where you live. 38 . You just haven’t bothered to look properly since it’s been there all along. Open your eyes. What have you been missing
Accept all invitations. Even if you’re not that keen on the people going, try giving them a chance and go and hang out with them anyway. 39 --just once in a while.
Plan a trip. Instead of spending your weekend at home, plan a trip for a 2-day getaway. You don’t have to take time off work and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It can even be half an hour away, and you spend the entire weekend in a hotel basking in the room service. 40 .
A. Just go out and have fun
B. It doesn’t have to be all the time.
C. So you might as well stay for a few days
D. It’s a chance to relax and learn something special.
E. There are often many local events going on
F. Try to think of one thing each day you can do differently
G. But in reality, there is probably much to do around where you live.
