第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共 15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
Dear Retainers (保持器),
I thought you were supposed to be keeping my teeth straight with the benefit of no braces (牙箍)! Yet I wake up every morning to see that my overbite is slowly coming back and the rows of teeth aren’t aligned (使对齐). Now I don’t think you’re even helping me anymore. Do you have any idea what I went through to get you
First of all, I wasted two precious years of my life waiting for your arrival. Those braces were murder on my teeth. You didn’t experience the pain I had to go through! Almost every week, I replaced my old wires. By getting braces, I had the “wonderful” opportunity to choose from a wide variety of soups. For two years, 104 weeks, soup became more than 90 percent of my diet.
I will admit that you kept my teeth in order for a few months. However, recently I think you’re snoozing (打盹) on the job. After brushing my teeth and slipping you on, I see that you don’t even fit correctly over my teeth anymore. During some nights, you don’t even stay on the whole time. I wake up some days and feel nothing in my mouth. Then I have to take more time to thoroughly search my bed to see where you’ve hidden yourself. Do you realize how frustrated I am
Don’t even get me started on how you affect my language. If I were to say this sentence “Can you pass me the bottle of water ” it would come out sounding like “Ken you peth me-the ball of wudu ” Now I don’t even attempt saying words like “rewind” “reconnect” “replay” or anything else that starts with “re”. In general, you steal my ability to talk efficiently. The ridicule I get from my friends is almost unbearable.
You had better shape up or I’ll have to replace you with something better.
Hana
21. What is Hana’s purpose in writing the letter
A. To express her dissatisfaction. B. To seek help from her dentist.
C. To describe her interesting experiences. D. To explain the process of straightening her teeth.
22. What makes Hana annoyed at night
A. Her retainers hurt her. B. Her retainers affect her diet.
C. She has to brush her retainers. D. She has to look for her retainers.
23. Why do Hana’s friends laugh at her
A. Because of her ugly face. B. Because of her poor English.
C. Because of her limited understanding. D. Because of her incorrect pronunciation.
B
Elena Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never minding that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway-and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto, wound up injuring herself.
The efforts of Professor Carol Leone from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) are changing all that: twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to introduce smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi, 21, tried one of the smaller keyboards, “I remember being really excited, because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes,” she said.
For decades, few questioned the size of the traditional piano. For those with small hand spans (掌距), it’s difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms. Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of musicians, she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.
The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists. Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.
Though such resistance is fading, there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing. Leone said, “This is art, not sport. It’s about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that.”
24. Why did Elena Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concerto so well
A. Her fingers got injured. B. It was time-consuming.
C. Her hand spans were small. D. The traditional piano was out of tune.
25. What is paragraph 4 intended to do
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Add some background information.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Provide some advice for pianists.
26. What is the Viennese professor’s attitude towards smaller keyboards
A. Disapproving. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Yi’s Road to a Brilliant Artist B. Hard-working SMU Professor
C. Traditional Piano: A Competitive Thing D. The Story Behind Smaller Keyboard Pianos.
C
Kayabuki no Sato, a small village in Kyoto famous for its traditional thatched (茅草的) roof houses, features a hidden sprinkler (洒水器) system that turns the whole place into a water fountain.
Known as Miyama’s Thatched Village, Kayabuki no Sato has a higher percentage of thatched roof farmhouses than any other place in Japan. This makes it very popular with tourists, who love walking among the over 40 traditional thatched roof houses and even spending the night in one of them, but it is also easy for the houses to catch fire. Local officials realized this in the year 2000, when a fire burned down the archive (档案) centre, so apart from asking people to be alert at all time, they decided to install a special sprinkler system to cover the whole village. They test it twice a year, usually in May and December, and people from all over Japan and beyond come to see the powerful sprinklers in action.
You might think that dozens of automated sprinklers dotting a traditional Japanese village would be an eyesore, and you would be right. That is why local authorities decided to maintain the picturesque look of Kayabuki no Sato by hiding the 62 metal sprinklers in small wooden houses similar to the authentic ones. When the system is activated, the roofs of these houses open up like tiny transformers, clearing the way for sprinklers inside to shoot jets of water high into the sky.
The testing of the sprinkler system is such an impressive event that it has become known as the Kayabuki no Sato water hose festival. Strong jets of water are shot into the air by all 62 strategically-placed sprinklers, at the same time, to cover all the thatched roof houses. And if that isn’t an impressive enough sight, on sunny days, the sprinklers also create rainbows over the village.
So if you’re ever in Kyoto during the months of May and December and want to see something truly unique, head over to Kayabuki no Sato, in the Miyama rural area, for the water hose festival. You won’t regret it!
28. What do we know about Kayabuki no Sato from the passage
A. It is famous for its water fountain.
B. Its archive center was once destroyed by floods.
C. Visitors go there mainly to see its sprinkler system.
D. It has the highest percentage of thatched roof farmhouses in Japan.
29. What does the underlined word “eyesore” in the third paragraph refer to
A. An unpleasant sight. B. A creative idea.
C. An attractive spot. D. A dangerous situation.
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. The sprinklers are tested once every year.
B. The sprinkler system was installed to create rainbows.
C. The sprinklers are kept in small wooden houses resembling real ones.
D. The roofs of the farmhouses open when the sprinkler system is started.
31. What is the last paragraph but one mainly about
A. How the sprinkler system works.
B. What the Kayabuki no Sato water hose festival is like.
C. The origin of the Kayabuki no Sato water hose festival.
D. The influence of the Kayabuki no Sato water hose festival.
D
Long-winded speech could be an early sign of Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) disease, according to research that suggests slight changes in speech style occur years before the more serious mental decline takes hold.
Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, Janet Cohen Sherman, clinical director of the Psychology Assessment Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, listed new findings that revealed distinctive language problems in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCD) (认知障碍). “Many of the studies so far have looked at changes in memory, but we also know changes occur in language,” she said. Sherman cites studies of the vocabulary in Iris Murdoch’s later works, which showed signs of Alzheimer’s years before her diagnosis. Another study, based on White House press conference transcripts, found striking changes in Ronald Reagan’s speech over the course of his presidency, while George HW Bush, who was a similar age when president, showed no such decline. “Ronald Reagan started to have a decline in the number of unique words with repetitions of statements over time,” said Sherman. “He started using more fillers, more empty phrases, like ‘thing’, or ‘something’, or things like ‘basically’ or ‘actually’ or ‘well’.”
Sherman and her colleagues had initially set out to test the “regression hypothesis (退化假设)”, the idea that language is lost in a reverse direction to how it was acquired during childhood, with long and difficult vocabulary being the first thing to go. The hypothesis turned out to be wrong, but the team did find that Alzheimer’s is accompanied by characteristic language problems. In a study, the scientists compared the language abilities of 22 healthy young individuals, 24 healthy older individuals and 22 people with MCI.
When given an exercise in which they had to join up three words, for instance “pen” “ink” and “paper”, the healthy volunteers typically joined the three in a simple sentence, while the MCI group gave more complex accounts of going to the shop and buying a pen. “The sentences they produced were much longer, they had a hard time staying on point and I guess you could say they were much more roundabout in getting their point across,” said Sherman. “It was a very significant difference.”
The prospect of an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s has had knockbacks (打击) the past year as drugs have each been shown to make no difference to the rate of cognitive decline in trials. Between 2002 and 2012, 99.6% of drugs studies aimed at preventing, curing or improving Alzheimer’s symptoms were discontinued.
Some believe that these failures may be, in part, because by the time Alzheimer’s is diagnosed, the disease has already caused irreparable damage to the brain, making it too late for treatment to help. “So we are trying to push the detection period back to the very slight, early changes in Alzheimer’s disease,” said Sherman.
32. What did Janet Cohen Sherman and her team find in their research
A. Mild cognitive impairment is caused by failing language abilities in most cases.
B. Memory decline is a major sign of Alzheimer’s and should be paid attention to.
C. People with Alzheimer’s may show a change in speech style at an early stage.
D. People can avoid MCI by making long-winded speech short and meaningful.
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ronald Reagan
A. He made more powerful speeches than George HW Bush.
B. He relied on empty phrases to avoid any potential conflict.
C. He used more inaccurate words in speech over time when president.
D. He had a decline in the number of repetitions of statements in his later life.
34. What can be concluded from the MCI group’s performance in the word-joining exercise
A. They had difficulty in making clear their meaning briefly.
B. They failed to tell the difference between different accounts.
C. They would like to ask their audience to guess what they meant.
D. They tended to think a lot before coming up with a suitable sentence.
35. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Most previous drugs are no longer on the market because of their side effects.
B. The findings of Sherman’s research may lead to effective treatment of Alzheimer’s.
C. The “regression hypothesis” proved to be partially true, especially with MCI people.
D. Mental decline doesn’t always happen before people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Jones fell in love with flying after going out in his uncle’s small airplane. He adored it so much that he’d planned to become a pilot when he grew up. But his hopes were dashed when he was diagnosed with epilepsy (癫痫) at age 12. 36
Years later, after skydiving with an instructor in Europe, he went crazy about the sport. Free-falling through the sky was exciting, almost like flying. He was hooked on it. 37 But Jones hadn’t had a seizure (发作) in more than six years, so his doctor gave him a letter stating that he was fit to sign up for lessons.
38 Other staffers agreed. So today, at last, he’s about to step out of an airplane by himself. All told, the jump should take about two minutes, from leaving the shelter of the airplane to landing on the ground some 12,000 feet, or two miles, below. This is how it goes:
As Jones prepares to jump, he missteps and nearly slips out of the airplane. That’s a bit messy, thinks instructor McFarlane, though this kind of mistake is not unusual for first timers. 39 He shouts to McFarlane, “Up! Down! Hard arch!” which means “Ready, set, go!” and jumps out of the airplane.
Jumping just seconds behind Jones, McFarlane reaches him and is relieved to see that he has recovered from his clumsy exit and is free-falling in the perfect “box man” position: belly to the ground, his body arches upward with arms and legs spread for stability and control. 40 He flashes a thumbs-up.
A. So far, so good, thinks McFarlane.
B. “A star pupil,” one of the instructors called Jones.
C. As a rule, epileptics aren’t allowed to skydive alone.
D. Jones continues to fall, spinning helplessly on his back.
E. Still, McFarlane decides to dive again to try to reach Jones.
F. Jones immediately catches his balance and arches his back into the jump position.
G. Doctors told him that his condition would prevent him from ever obtaining a pilot’s license.

Yes, but I am also half-Vietnamese. Without the 52 , I am strongly aware that I am only half-never any more. Lately, I’ve been asking my mother to translate phrases into Vietnamese so I can 53 them.
Back in her kitchen, our first batch (炉) of spring rolls is 54 . “Count them,” my mother commands, “so I know how many more to make.” I shake my head and ask, “Can you do it in Vietnamese ” She smiles and 55 , “Mt, hai, ba, bón ...” With that, we are back where we began.

Lonely and single middle-aged men are at an increased risk of developing cancer than those in a relationship with people around them, according to a new study.
A team from the University of Eastern Finland worked with 2,570 middle-aged men, monitoring their 56 (healthy) and mortality (死亡率) from 57 1980s to the present day. Over the course of the study 25% of participants had developed cancer, with 11% of the Finnish men involved 58 (die) from the condition.
There was a ‘clear link’ between loneliness and an increased risk of cancer, the team explained, with being lonely increasing the risk of cancer 59 about ten percent. 60 (global), cancer is the second leading cause of death. Loneliness has been suggested as a risk factor for cancer mortality. However, connections between loneliness, social isolation and cancer 61 (understand) poorly.
Recent 62 (study) have suggested that loneliness could be as significant a health risk as smoking or being overweight, according to the researchers. Their findings support the idea 63 attention should be paid to this issue. In addition, cancer mortality was much 643 (high) in cancer patients who were unmarried, widowed or divorced.
Awareness of the health effects of loneliness is constantly increasing. Therefore, it is important to examine, in more detail, the mechanisms (机制) by 65 loneliness causes harmful health effects.

Karie checked the words on her spelling test again. If she got full marks today, she’d win her class’ First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-O-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! Should spelled honestly, not honesty. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet flipped (空翻) into the air. “Congratulations! Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down.
The whole class burst into applause! Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Everything OK ” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in midair. She just couldn’t believe her own eyes. Honesly YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y
Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” is exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Karie plodded (重步走) down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all That Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing

【语篇导读】本文是应用文,作者以书信的形式对自己的牙齿保持器表达不满。
21.A。推理判断题。根据文章开篇的两句话以及全文的内容可以判断除作者写这封信的目的就是表达对她的牙齿保持器的不满。
22.D。细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“Then I have to take more time to thoroughly search my bed to see where you’ve hidden yourself.”可知她晚上醒来在床上到处寻找保持器。
23.D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句“In general, you steal my ability to talk efficiently. The ridicule I get from my friends is almost unbearable.”以及前面的内容可知作者被朋友嘲笑是因为自己的发音不标准。
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为了给钢琴专业的学生提供公平的竞争环境,一位教授引入了更小的钢琴琴键,文章介绍了不同的人对此的不同看法和态度。
24.C。细节理解题。根据第一段“...never minding that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave.”以及“she tried anyway-and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto, wound up injuring herself.”可知,Yi觉得很难把肖邦协奏曲演奏好是因为她的手跨度小。故选C。
25.B。推理判断题。根据第四段“For those with small hand spans, it’s difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms. Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play.”以及“…she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a degree as a doctor in musical arts.”可知,这一段不是对前面段落的总结,也没有对钢琴家提出建议。从后文看,此段也没有成为后文讨论的话题。第四段的目的是添加一些背景信息。故选B。
26.A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.”可知反正钢琴家已经太多了,暗指如果你弹不了,多得是人能弹。以及最后一段中“Though such resistance is fading, there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing.”可推知,这位维也纳教授不支持小琴键。故选A。
27.D。主旨大意题。根据第二段“The efforts of Professor Carol Leone from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) are changing all that: twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to introduce smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.”(来自南卫理公会大学的Carol Leone教授正努力改变这一切:20年前,这所大学成为美国第一所主要大学,将更小的琴键引入其音乐课程,为李和其他钢琴专业的学生提供了公平的竞争环境)并结合为钢琴专业的学生提供了公平的竞争环境可知,D选项“小琴键钢琴的故事”最符合文章标题。故选D。
【语篇导读】本文是说明文,介绍了位于日本京都的一个茅草屋村庄Kayabuki no Sato(美山町的小乡村),因其传统的茅草屋顶房子而出名,当地政府为了防火,安装了自动喷水灭火系统,除了参观风景如画的传统茅草屋外,另外深受游客欢迎的还有他们的消防演习,即water hose festival,进行放水训练,每次演习都吸引不少人游客来参观。
28.D。细节理解题。由第二段的第一句“Known as Miyama’s Thatched Village, Kayabuki no Sato has a higher percentage of thatched roof farmhouses than any other place in Japan.”可知。
29.A。词义猜测题。由第三段划线词后的那句“That is why local authorities decided to maintain the picturesque look of Kayabuki no Sato by hiding the 62 metal sprinklers in small wooden houses similar to the authentic ones.”解释了为什么要把这些自动化的喷水器隐藏在一些仿真的小木屋里,就是为了不破坏风景如面的茅草屋面貌,所以可以推测出“an eyesore”是与后文的“picturesque look”相悖的含义的词。eyesore意为“丑陋的地方,碍眼的东西”。
30.C。推理判断题。由第三段巾的“That is why local authorities decided to maintain the picturesque look of Kayabuki no Sato by hiding the 62 metal sprinklers in small wooden houses similar to the authentic ones.”可知C项为正确答案。A项答案错在once,应改为twice(由第二段中的“They test it twice a year, usually in May and December”可知);喷水器的安装目的是为了灭火,而非创造彩虹,所以B选项错了;当喷水系统被激活时,是那些仿真的小木屋的屋顶会像变形金刚一样打开,而非茅草屋的屋顶,所以D选项是错的。
31.B。主旨大意题。the last paragraph but one是指倒数第二段。倒数第二段主要是介绍了检测喷水系统已经成为了Kayabuki no Sato的一件盛事,并被定为water hose festival这个节日。此段的主题主要是在介绍water hose festival是什么样子的,而非在其起源和影响上,故C,D选项不对。

33.C。推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Ronald Reagan started to have a decline in the number of unique words with repetitions of statements over time.’ said Sherman. ‘He started using more fillers, more empty phrases, like ’thing’, or ‘something’ or things like ‘basically’ or ‘actually’ or ‘well’.”可知,随着时间的推移,里根在演讲中开始出现独特词汇使用频率下降且伴随着重复的现象。他还开始频繁使用填充词和那些语意空洞的词。故选C。
34.A。细节理解题。根据第四段“while the MCI group gave more complex accounts of going to the shop and buying a pen. ‘The sentences they produced were much longer, they had a hard time staying on point and I guess you could say they were much more roundabout in getting their point across,’”可知,答案选A。

【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。酷爱飞行的Jones因身体原因不得不放弃他的飞行梦想,但通过努力,最终在跳伞运动中找到了飞行的感觉。
36.G。根据上文巾的“he’d planned to become a pilot when he grew up”和“But his hopes were dashed when he was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 12”可知,Jones想长大后当一名飞行员,但他的希望随着12岁被诊断出癫痫而破灭,因为医生告诉他,他的身体状况根本拿不到飞行员执照。故G项符合语境。
37.C。根据下文中的“But Jones hadn’t had a seizure in more than six years, so his doctor gave him a letter stating that he was fit to sign up for lessons.”可知,癫痫患者通常是不允许独自进行跳伞运动的。注意连词but的转折暗示。
38.B。根据下文中的“Other staffers agreed”和“he’s about to step out of an airplane by himself”可知,B项中的“A star pupil”是解题关键。一名教练称Jones为明星学员,其他人也这么认为,如今Jones要独立从飞机上做跳伞运动了。
39.F。根据上文巾的“he missteps and nearly slips out of the airplane”和下文中的“He shouts to McFarlane… and jumps out of the airplane”可知,Jones准备跳的时候,迈错了步子,以至于差点滑出飞机,但他很快平衡好身体,并做好下跳的姿势,最终跳下飞机。故选F项。
40.A。根据上文McFarlane看到Jones下落的姿势标准,以及下文他给Jones竖大拇指表示赞赏可知,A项“So far, so good, thinks McFarlane”承上启下,符合语境。
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。为了成为地道的美国人,作者来自越南的母亲从不讲越南语。作者觉得这样就失去了与自己祖先的联系,所以要求母亲教自己说越南语。
41.C。由“we’ve been making them together since I was a child”可知,做春卷是我最喜欢的“乐事(treat)”。
42.B。由下文内容可知,母亲用越南语唱歌,“我”一个字都听不懂,故选understand。
43.D。由下段内容可推知,“我”“从未(never)”问过母亲歌词的意思。
44.A。由下文的“she acted like a typical American”可知,母亲“决心(determined)”成为一个地道的美国人,因此她只做地道的美国人做的事。
45.A。只说英语“阻止(preventing)”了“我”得到学习越南语的机会以及与自己的根“有联系(connected)”的机会。
46.C。
47.D。由下文中的“As an adult, I can’t know her well enough”可知,作者小时候并不在意去更好地“了解(know)”母亲,作者知道的“全部(all)”只是母亲照顾自己。
48.A.
49.C。由前句中的“我”不能很好地了解母亲以及本句中的“editing out things that are too difficult to say”可知,“依赖(Relying on)”口音很重的英语,母亲似乎经常概括自己的“想法(thoughts)”,把那些太难表达的东西省去。
50.B。
51.B。由“You’re American!”可知,母亲认为美国人没必要学越南语,故选bother。Why bother?意为“干嘛费这个劲?”
52.C。由上文内容可知,此处指没有那种“语言(language)”,“我”强烈地感到自己不完整。
53.D。由“never any more”(再也不会这样)可知,最近“我”要求母亲把一些短语翻译成越南语以便“我”能“学习(learn)”它们。
54.B。由下文的“Count them”可知,第一炉春卷做好了,故选done。

Later Dad came in with excitement. The smile on his face lit up the whole room. The moment he saw Karie, he asked with joy, “Honey, how is your spelling test ” With those words, he stroked her hair affectionately. So embarrassed was Karie to look into Dad’s eyes that she lowered her head, unable to utter a word. Sensing something unusual, Dad asked gently, “What’s wrong, baby ” Karie couldn’t hide her feelings any longer and burst into tears upon hearing this. Then she told her father what had happened. Instead of criticizing her, Dad comforted her and let her make her own decision. Torn between the honor and the truth, she had a restless night, tossing and turning on bed.
The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual. After pacing up and down restlessly in front of the teacher’s office for a while, she finally gathered courage and plodded in. The teacher was a little surprised to see her. “Hi, Karie you come so early today.” “Ms. McCormack, I don’t deserve the prize because I made an error which you didn’t find,” said Karie with her face flushed red. She then handed the paper and the prize to the teacher. Looking at the paper for a while, the teacher smiled, “You did spell a word wrong, but the present still belongs to you. It’s not for your perfect score but for your honesty.” Hearing that, Karie grinned with relief, a wave of happiness flooding over her.

W: I love it. I really enjoy creating a meal from various ingredients and watching my friends enjoy it. It gives me a real sense of satisfaction. Do you enjoy cooking
M: I don’t like it. It takes up too much time and I really hate having to clean up after the meal. I can’t stand doing the washing up, drying up, and putting all the dishes and forks away.
