be wonderful',”Greene said.

It didn't take long for the animals to enjoy the fruits of their owners and the workers' labor.
Greene posted an adorable video on TikTok of some of the animals digging into the donations.
In the video, Greene explained that watermelon is a wonderful source of hydration for the animals in the Louisiana summer heat.It's also packed with lots of vitamins and nutrients to

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has tuned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes,combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper,Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they report each day's events. In other words,there is a traditional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnection between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns"of the newsroom seem foreign to many readers.In recent survey,questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area.Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans,journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses,and trade stocks, and they're less likely to go to church,do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite(精英),so their work tends to reflect the traditional values of this elite.The alarming distrust of the news media isn't rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry,particularly a declining one.Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums(讨论会)and a credibility project devoted to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class prejudices that so many former buyers are complaining about.If it did,it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values,education, and class.
28.The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be
A. very informative B. rather shallow
C. quite trustworthy D. somewhat conflicting
29.In which of the following sentences the meaning of"foreign"is similar to that in Para.4
A. The scientist spoke with a kind of foreign accent
B. He typically has a good command of foreign affairs
C. It is known that dishonesty is foreign to his nature
D. Her body rejected the foreign organ after the operation
30.What should the newspaper industry do if it wants to satisfy the readers
A. It should look for reporters with comprehensive outlook and values.
B. It should hire journalists from upscale neighborhoods.
C. It should sponsor symposiums and credibility project.
D. It should use a ready-made narrative structure.
31.What is the main idea of the passage
A. American newspaper industry is declining gradually nowadays.
B. So many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers.
C. Some prejudice exists in matters of race and gender in American programs.
D. Something is hidden behind Americans' disappointment about newspapers.
D
When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action, Case in point you decide to buy a T shit made from 100% organic cotton, because everyone knows that organic is better for Earth.And in some ways it is;in conventional cotton-farming,pesticides strip the soil of life. But that green label doesn't tell the whole story--like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gallons(10,000L)of water to grow enough fiber for one T-shit. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed using harsh industrial chemicals, which can pollute local groundwater.If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green Would you still buy it
It's a question that most of us are ill equipped to answer, even as the debate over what is and isn't green becomes all-important in a hot and crowded world. That's because as the global economy has grown, our ability to make complex products with complex supply chains has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We evolved to respond to threats that were clear and present. That's why, when we eat spoiled food, we get disgusted and when we see a bright light, we shut our eyes.But nothing in evolution has prepared us to understand the accumulative impact that amounts of industrial chemicals may have on our children's health or the slow-moving, long-term danger of climate change.Scanning the supermarket aisles, we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose and probably couldn't make sense of the information even if we had it.
But what if we could seamlessly calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That's what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book,Ecological Intelligence.Using a young science called industrial ecology businesses and green activists alike are beginning to compile the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivering that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically— understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices."We can know the causes of what we're doing, and we can know the impact of what we're doing"says Goleman,who wrote the 1995 best seller Emotional Intelligence.“It’s
going to have a radical impact on the way we do business."
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy,It's also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for millenniums, villagers have survived harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them.The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice.Neither do we.“We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,”says Goleman.“Not anymore.”
32. Why did the author use the example of buying T-shirt in Para.1
A. To illustrate a green way of life.
B. To provide one example of not green life.
C. To explain it is not so easy to go green.
D. To advise buying an organic cotton T-shirt.
33. Which of the following is an Ecological intelligence behaviour according to the passage
A. Buying items that are labeled to be green when we need them.
B. Carefully conserving every resource available to us if possible.
C. Being aware of the environmental and biological impact of some decisions.
D. Accepting that we live in an infinitely connected world with infinite resources.
34.Which of the following is one answer to the question underlined in Para.2
A. The complex supply chains are beyond our total comprehension.
B. Sometimes we tend to respond only to threats that are clear and present,
C. The information we have helps us to understand the full impact of what we choose.
D. The accumulative impact from many industrial chemicals hasn't been understood yet.
35.What is the purpose of the passage
A. To educate us to reduce our carbon footprint,
B. To persuade us to buy eco-friendly products.
C. To inform us of a new idea of Ecological intelligence.
D. To warn us of the damaging effect on the environment.

Luwak Coffee Indonesia
Luwak coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world,because it has extraordinary value and its availability is very rare.Indonesian Luwak coffee, or civet(麝香猫) coffee,sells well and is very popular with coffee lovers because it is considered to have a smooth and friendly taste in the stomach
Not everyone can appreciate this drink. Many are disgusted with the basic ingredients that come from animal feces (粪便). 36. Even so,the Indonesian Luwak coffee industry seems uninterrupted and still sells well at high prices.
There are three main factors that make Indonesian Luwak coffee more expensive than coffee in general. These three factors are a long production process, the amount of harvest that is not as large as ordinary coffee beans,and the taste of coffee that is not thick.
37. They find seeds that are still complete in the feces of a cat-like animal, so they process seeds from the dirt, bake, then make a drink. The enjoyment of this drink is heard by the Dutch government.38.
The process begins when coffee plants enter the harvest period.Fruit that is ready for harvest will begin to turn reddish.Luwak has the habit and ability to choose the best quality coffee fruit, so this animal will eat fruit with good seeds. 39. The dirt or feces from the civets will later be collected to be cleaned.
After cleaning, the next process is roasting. The roasting process is only up to the medium roast level. The reason is to maintain a unique sense of character.The roasted seeds are then packaged in whole beans or powder for sale.40.
A.The fruit eaten will be digested by this animal, but strangely the digestion of this animal cannot destroy the layer of coffee.
B.Others, however, show great passion for this drink.
C.Initially, this drink was discovered by local people who are curious about the taste of coffee.
D.Then they collect and sell Indonesian civet coffee at very high prices.
E.Some breeding areas even open a civet coffee cafe so that visitors can enjoy the most expensive coffee immediately after baking.
F.So they encourage those manufacturers to further tap the potential of the civet coffee.
G.Because of this, this drink also gets bad nicknames in various countries.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I felt so nervous. It was the day of my interview. I woke up early just to make sure I would have time to get prepared. It felt like a normal Monday, but for me, this day was very important. There was a lot of pressure.
After showering, I put on the outfit I had carefully chosen and laid out the night before. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. “You can do this,” I encouraged myself. I ate breakfast and fed my cat. I made my way to the bus stop and waited patiently. Aside from the rapid tapping of my right foot, no one could tell that I was so nervous.
When I arrived at my stop, I walked to the office. The building was so tall and I felt small in its shadow. But I also felt hopeful. This will be a great opportunity, I thought. And what is there to lose Looking down at my watch, I noticed that I was early. This allowed plenty of time to review my resume (简历) and further prepare myself for the interview.
The doors of the building were impressive, all steel and glass and very modern.
When I walked in, someone showed me the waiting area and offered me a cup of coffee. After a few moments, a man in a nice suit told me to join him. As we walked toward the elevators, I began to feel anxious. The palms of my hands began to sweat. It seemed like an hour had passed before I heard the “ding” of the elevators opening.
We got into the elevator, full of men and women dressed to the nines.
“It’s quite a large office,” the man said to me. I chuckled nervously. I could feel myself getting warmer. I couldn’t wait to hear that comforting “ding” that signaled an escape.
As the elevator climbed, I again nervously checked my watch. Just as I looked down, it happened.
Paragraph 1:
The elevator came to a stop between floors.

第一节
Dear Wang Lin,
Thank you for your letter The final exam is really around the comer now. As time becomes limited and school work begins to pile up, many students start to feel much stressed —some find themselves very unenergetic and not able to concentrate; some even fall asleep in class. What should we do to avoid this
First of all, physical exercise is the best way to reduce stress and help people relax. Therefore it is highly advisable that we have some physical exercise after some hours of mental exercise. Second, having a proper study plan is of great importance too, since it can remind us what to do and is helpful for us to do our work more efficiently. Last but not least, we should pay special attention to our diet as well.
Anyway, a balanced and nutritious diet can keep a busy mind smart and energetic. Only if we can do these three things mentioned above will we make our time of study and preparation work enjoyable, efficient and fruitful.
Yours sincerely,
LiHua

The elevator came to a stop between floors. Not knowing what was wrong, everyone in it got nervous quickly. Someone pressed the emergency button, and we were told that it would take the rescue team at least an hour to complete the repair work, which meant we had to be trapped in this narrow and hot space, waiting. Hearing this, people were anxious, and I couldn’t help worrying about the interview. With the clock ticking, I fell into desperation.
I thought that this must be the worst interview ever. I was so frustrated that my well-prepared resume wouldn’t work. Just when I gave up hope, the beautiful “ding” sound set me free from those messy thoughts. A receptionist in a suit stopped me after I had stepped out of the elevator and informed me of another interview opportunity because of the incident. At that moment, I could hardly describe my excitement. Life is just like a box of chocolates, and we never know what we will get. So don’t quit hoping even in the face of difficulty.

When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action, Case in point you decide to buy a T shit made from 100% organic cotton, because everyone knows that organic is better for Earth.And in some ways it is;in conventional cotton-farming,pesticides strip the soil of life. But that green label doesn't tell the whole story--like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gallons(10,000L)of water to grow enough fiber for one T-shit. Or the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed using harsh industrial chemicals, which can pollute local groundwater.If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green Would you still buy it
It's a question that most of us are ill equipped to answer, even as the debate over what is and isn't green becomes all-important in a hot and crowded world. That's because as the global economy has grown, our ability to make complex products with complex supply chains has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences—for ourselves and the planet. We evolved to respond to threats that were clear and present. That's why, when we eat spoiled food, we get disgusted and when we see a bright light, we shut our eyes.But nothing in evolution has prepared us to understand the accumulative impact that amounts of industrial chemicals may have on our children's health or the slow-moving, long-term danger of climate change.Scanning the supermarket aisles, we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose and probably couldn't make sense of the information even if we had it.
But what if we could seamlessly calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That's what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book,Ecological Intelligence.Using a young science called industrial ecology businesses and green activists alike are beginning to compile the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivering that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically— understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices."We can know the causes of what we're doing, and we can know the impact of what we're doing"says Goleman,who wrote the 1995 best seller Emotional Intelligence.“It’s
going to have a radical impact on the way we do business."
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy,It's also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for millenniums, villagers have survived harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them.The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice.Neither do we.“We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,”says Goleman.“Not anymore.”
32. Why did the author use the example of buying T-shirt in Para.1
A. To illustrate a green way of life.
B. To provide one example of not green life.
C. To explain it is not so easy to go green.
D. To advise buying an organic cotton T-shirt.

A. Buying items that are labeled to be green when we need them.
B. Carefully conserving every resource available to us if possible.
C. Being aware of the environmental and biological impact of some decisions.
D. Accepting that we live in an infinitely connected world with infinite resources.
34.Which of the following is one answer to the question underlined in Para.2
A. The complex supply chains are beyond our total comprehension.
B. Sometimes we tend to respond only to threats that are clear and present,
C. The information we have helps us to understand the full impact of what we choose.
D. The accumulative impact from many industrial chemicals hasn't been understood yet.

Luwak Coffee Indonesia
Luwak coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world,because it has extraordinary value and its availability is very rare.Indonesian Luwak coffee, or civet(麝香猫) coffee,sells well and is very popular with coffee lovers because it is considered to have a smooth and friendly taste in the stomach
Not everyone can appreciate this drink. Many are disgusted with the basic ingredients that come from animal feces (粪便). 36. Even so,the Indonesian Luwak coffee industry seems uninterrupted and still sells well at high prices.
There are three main factors that make Indonesian Luwak coffee more expensive than coffee in general. These three factors are a long production process, the amount of harvest that is not as large as ordinary coffee beans,and the taste of coffee that is not thick.
37. They find seeds that are still complete in the feces of a cat-like animal, so they process seeds from the dirt, bake, then make a drink. The enjoyment of this drink is heard by the Dutch government.38.
The process begins when coffee plants enter the harvest period.Fruit that is ready for harvest will begin to turn reddish.Luwak has the habit and ability to choose the best quality coffee fruit, so this animal will eat fruit with good seeds. 39. The dirt or feces from the civets will later be collected to be cleaned.
After cleaning, the next process is roasting. The roasting process is only up to the medium roast level. The reason is to maintain a unique sense of character.The roasted seeds are then packaged in whole beans or powder for sale.40.
A.The fruit eaten will be digested by this animal, but strangely the digestion of this animal cannot destroy the layer of coffee.
B.Others, however, show great passion for this drink.
C.Initially, this drink was discovered by local people who are curious about the taste of coffee.
D.Then they collect and sell Indonesian civet coffee at very high prices.
E.Some breeding areas even open a civet coffee cafe so that visitors can enjoy the most expensive coffee immediately after baking.
F.So they encourage those manufacturers to further tap the potential of the civet coffee.
G.Because of this, this drink also gets bad nicknames in various countries.

I felt so nervous. It was the day of my interview. I woke up early just to make sure I would have time to get prepared. It felt like a normal Monday, but for me, this day was very important. There was a lot of pressure.
After showering, I put on the outfit I had carefully chosen and laid out the night before. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. “You can do this,” I encouraged myself. I ate breakfast and fed my cat. I made my way to the bus stop and waited patiently. Aside from the rapid tapping of my right foot, no one could tell that I was so nervous.
When I arrived at my stop, I walked to the office. The building was so tall and I felt small in its shadow. But I also felt hopeful. This will be a great opportunity, I thought. And what is there to lose Looking down at my watch, I noticed that I was early. This allowed plenty of time to review my resume (简历) and further prepare myself for the interview.
The doors of the building were impressive, all steel and glass and very modern.
When I walked in, someone showed me the waiting area and offered me a cup of coffee. After a few moments, a man in a nice suit told me to join him. As we walked toward the elevators, I began to feel anxious. The palms of my hands began to sweat. It seemed like an hour had passed before I heard the “ding” of the elevators opening.
We got into the elevator, full of men and women dressed to the nines.
“It’s quite a large office,” the man said to me. I chuckled nervously. I could feel myself getting warmer. I couldn’t wait to hear that comforting “ding” that signaled an escape.
As the elevator climbed, I again nervously checked my watch. Just as I looked down, it happened.
Paragraph 1:
The elevator came to a stop between floors.

第一节
Dear Wang Lin,
Thank you for your letter The final exam is really around the comer now. As time becomes limited and school work begins to pile up, many students start to feel much stressed —some find themselves very unenergetic and not able to concentrate; some even fall asleep in class. What should we do to avoid this
First of all, physical exercise is the best way to reduce stress and help people relax. Therefore it is highly advisable that we have some physical exercise after some hours of mental exercise. Second, having a proper study plan is of great importance too, since it can remind us what to do and is helpful for us to do our work more efficiently. Last but not least, we should pay special attention to our diet as well.
Anyway, a balanced and nutritious diet can keep a busy mind smart and energetic. Only if we can do these three things mentioned above will we make our time of study and preparation work enjoyable, efficient and fruitful.
Yours sincerely,
LiHua
第二节
The elevator came to a stop between floors. Not knowing what was wrong, everyone in it got nervous quickly. Someone pressed the emergency button, and we were told that it would take the rescue team at least an hour to complete the repair work, which meant we had to be trapped in this narrow and hot space, waiting. Hearing this, people were anxious, and I couldn’t help worrying about the interview. With the clock ticking, I fell into desperation.
I thought that this must be the worst interview ever. I was so frustrated that my well-prepared resume wouldn’t work. Just when I gave up hope, the beautiful “ding” sound set me free from those messy thoughts. A receptionist in a suit stopped me after I had stepped out of the elevator and informed me of another interview opportunity because of the incident. At that moment, I could hardly describe my excitement. Life is just like a box of chocolates, and we never know what we will get. So don’t quit hoping even in the face of difficulty.
