When I look into a mirror, I’m often shocked by the hatred expression staring back at me. I’m not necessarily angry, sad, or even displeased. I’m just absorbed. I’m so anxious that I don’t realize what my face is doing. Apparently when ignored, my facial muscles changed to the same angry looks I saw on my own mother’s face as a child.
I used to think she was always mad at me. Once when I asked her what I’d done, she replied, “Nothing. I’m not upset with you; I’m focused on a million other things. Just ignore my face.”
It'’ impossible as no one can ignore your face. The face is the window into the mind: we read others’ expressions to recognize what they’re feeling.
Our emotion can be influential, especially a mom’s, which is why we must let positive energy be what we reflect, as today’s key poetry reminds us: “Let the light of your face shine on us.”
We will make parenting mistakes, as there’s no getting around that. It’s part of the human package. But if we take every possible opportunity to communicate unconditional love to our kids—and use words—they’ll be better able to embrace the society. There’s comfort in knowing we don’t have to be perfect parents to raise children, isn’t there We are all used to working with fault.
I choose to be a beautiful mom, even if my kids and I are the only ones looking. Smiles make me beautiful. Smiling promotes trust, reflects positivity and helps us all relax. It connects people and makes me friendlier. Besides, it’s guaranteed to lift my own mood every time.
Maybe I should tell my face the good news more often, make a serious effort to be more aware of my unconscious face, and show my expressions others as an instrument of praise.

C. Embrace the Society in Life D. Explore the Magic of Body Language

Blue sharks use large, spinning ocean currents, known as eddies(漩涡), to fast—track their way down to feed in the ocean twilight zone—a layer of the ocean between 200 and 1000 meters deep—containing a large number of fishes according to new research by the Applied Physics Lab.
Researchers tagged(给……加上标签) more than a dozen blue sharks off the US. Northeast Coast and monitored them for nine months. The tags relayed data back to the researchers via satellite, showing that the sharks had spent a good part of their days diving down to the ocean twilight zone through the eddies in the ocean. There, they’d spend an hour or so hunting for food like small fish before returning to the surface to warm up before diving again.
Dives were less frequent at night, when many twilight zone animals make their daily migration from the ocean’s mid—water to feed at the surface. Camrin Braun, lead author of the study, said that an evening trip possibly isn’t worth the effort for hungry blue sharks since the zone isn’t particularly well filled with fish after dark.
Braun said the behavior of the blue sharks was generally similar to that of the white sharks the team tracked in a previous study last year. However, the two species had different preferences when it came to water temperature. White sharks, which are warm-blooded animals, used a combination of warm and cold—water eddies to reach the twilight zone, while blue sharks relied only on warm water eddies. because they belong to a cold-blooded species.
Blue sharks are considered a “near threatened” species due to heavy fishing pressure on populations across the globe. “This research helps fill important knowledge gaps about where they go and why, which can inform decision making to help protect them,” said biologist Simon Thorrold. “It is significant to do further research on the blue sharks.”
28. What can we know about the ocean twilight zone
A. It’s a place with spinning ocean currents. B. It provides blue sharks with small fishes.
C. It’s part of a surface layer of the ocean. D. It lies off the U.S. Northeast Coast.
29. Why do blue sharks less frequently dive to the zone at night
A. The tags are attached to them. B. They can’t warm up on the surface.
C. They need to avoid white sharks there. D. Small fishes are not enough for them to have.
30. What can we infer from the passage
A. Blue sharks and white sharks feed in different depths of the ocean.
B. Blue sharks and white sharks reach the zone with the same eddies.
C. Blue sharks can not regulate their body temperature to stay warm.
D. Blue sharks suffered from much less overfishing than white sharks.
31. What was Simon Thorrol’s attitude to the research of Camrin Braun’s team
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful. C. Opposite. D. Indifferent.
D
Many cars in advertisements, exhibits and at car sales in the United States are red, blue or green —but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver or gray.
Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the car colors Americans choose do not show dirt as much as the colors of other cars. He says that means the owners wash their cars less, saving money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often, if at all.
Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says when white cars are sold by their owners, they often sell for higher amounts than cars of other colors. And he notes that white cars “absorb less energy" than cars of other colors. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas.
Dan Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.
Axalta says about 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. In South America, 10 percent of new cars sold are red.
Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.
Green has become less popular. Dan Benton notes that in the mid 1990s, “green was the most popular color in North America. Today, green is hard to find."
Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car - technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime.
32. According to Jackson, Americans favor cars of black mostly because they.
A. stand washing B. don't look dirty
C. are environmentally friendly D. aren't in need of cleaning often
33. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. White cars. B. Black cars. C. Car sellers. D. Car makers.
34. Who thinks that white seems to add the inside space of a car
A. Dan Benton. B. Jane Harrington. C. Australians. D. Chinese.
35. What could be the most suitable title for the text
A. Cares Are Different in Style B. Colors Increase a Car's Popularity
C. What Are the Colors of Choice for Cars D. What Type of Car Sells Well in the Market
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
“I’m sorry” are two very important words playing a big part in daily life. You might apologize while pushing your way through a crowd or using the last of the printer paper at work. It's easy to say “I’m sorry”, but true apologies are a different story. You may have trouble finding the right way to send meaningful apologies. Or you may wonder how to properly demand an apology if the other person is at fault 36 .
Apologize sincerely. 37 . It can even repair your reputation that you can be trusted. But your relationship will remain tense if your apology seems casual. So you have to be truly willing to apologize.
Apply specific principles. A meaningful apology comes down to the three R's -- regret, responsibility and remedy (补救办法). Firstly, communicate your regret. Show the other person you have recognized your error and can sense his or her pain. Then take complete responsibility. Don't make excuses or blame the victim. 38 . Offer to make up for the harm you caused or promise you wouldn't repeat it again.
Don’t expect immediate forgiveness. Most people hope for immediate forgiveness while apologizing, but that may mean you don't respect the others’ emotions and all you care about is yourself. So give them some time to come out of the pain after your apology. 39 .
40 . If you're the offended one, describe what's changed in the relationship and your true feeling. For example, you could say,“Although there's a disagreement between you and me, I want us to be friends again. But I've been hurt, and I’d like an apology. I need you to acknowledge what you've done.”
A. Ask for an apology if necessary.
B. Don’t claim an apology if you’re offended.
C. However, they would refuse to apologize to you.
D. A genuine apology can help repair your relationship.
E. With the following tips, you'll find these are not hard.
F. Lastly, show that you're working to improve the situation.
G. After all, they were hurt and it would take them a while to recover.

Dear Mike，
I’m more than delighted to receive your letter in which you told me that you were invited to participate in the Chinese Poetry Competition to be held next month. I’m writing to express my sincere congratulations to you.
I’d like to give you some advice, which I hope will be of great benefit to you. As far as I know, it is a good idea for you to recite ancient Chinese poetry as many as possible. More importantly, you should try to master the meaning of each poem. What’s more, it is necessary to learn more about the background of each poet. I firmly believe that only if you make full preparations in advance are you likely to get through the next round of the competition.
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need further help. Wish you a satisfactory result.
