五、阅读理解
There may be a thousand ways to say "Happy Birthday! " but the sweetest of all may very well be a special chocolate message that was recently served up by an amazingly thoughtful restaurant staff.
Creating congratulations in warm liquid cocoa was nothing new at London’s Luciano by Gino D’Acampo restaurant, but for birthday girl Natalie Te Paa, who is totally blind, the best wishes were spelled out in Braille (布莱叶盲文) .
What gave the message an even greater meaning was that there was no advance planning involved. When the restaurant crew learned the dinner Te Paa was sharing with friend Claire Sara was a birthday celebration, they took it upon themselves to find and recreate the Braille translation that summed up their best wishes in well-chilled chocolate.
Te Paa could barely believe her fingertips as she traced over the raised dots. "My mind was blank for a second and then I was like, ‘Is this in Braille ’ "Ta Paa said. "I’ve never had anything happen like that before. It was wild. They just really did go above and beyond. I couldn’t control my tears of joy. "
Dinner companion Sara recorded Te Paa’s delighted reaction to what had become a very different kind of surprise party and posted the cheerful footage to TikTok.
While restaurant manager Giovanni Galluccio maintains the impromptu (即兴的) gesture was simply part of the customer service they try to extend to all their patrons, clocking in with close to 16 million views to date, the Internet judged the extraordinary act of kindness extra special.
As Te Paa said, "The fact that people have responded so much and so well to it just shows how much the world needs kindness right now, how much the world needs a message of hope, needs to see people doing things and going above and beyond for each other. "
This is one message sure to melt in your hearts, not in your hands.
30、How did the restaurant staff give the message a great meaning
A. By providing the cake for Te Paa for free.
B. By giving the chocolate message well decorated.
C. By preparing the cake without any plan in advance.
D. By inviting dinner companion Sara ahead of time.
31、How did Te Paa feel after she touched the chocolate cake
A. She felt happy. B. She felt jealous.
C. She felt shocked. D. She felt motivated.
32、What did Sara do at the party
A. She thought highly of the restaurant manager.
B. She gave Te Paa a big surprise with pose.
C. She posted a video in a silent language.
D. She put part of the party’s process online.
33、Which word can best replace the underlined word "patrons" in Paragraph 6
A. Messages. B. Customers. C. Praises. D. Ideas.
六、七选五
34、Good news: your happiest years are still ahead of you. Science says so! Think you have already reached your top in life We want to share some good news with you:
①______
According to new research, we’re happiest at two points in our lives—not just one. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Political Science asked 23, 000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. ②______And then, after five years’ time, they reported back on how they actually felt.
Their results Anything but bad! ③______One’s satisfaction reaches higher levels during two ends of the study’s age range and moves up and down with middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness tops: ages 23 and 69.
④______In our early 20s, we’re energetic and excited about the changes that come along with young age: new careers, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time—not to mention the money—to book a flight to Hawaii at a moment’s notice.
Of course, that’s all the more reason to find easy ways to be happier without really trying, regardless of your age!⑤______ For example, you can take a walk or spend time with family. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting older: an increase in happiness!
A. You might want to think again.
B. Your happiest years are still ahead.
C. If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense.
D. Experts recommend choosing small yet rewarding tasks.
E. Volunteers predicted how happy they would feel in five years.
F. The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped line over a person’s lifetime.
G. Take things one step further with the 50 tiny changes that will make you a happier person.
