(2023广东广州华南师大高二上学期月考)
Despite the deeply rooted impression that hotels are humorless,colorless spaces,there are already many design-forward accommodation options around the world.It’s easy to see the appeal of spending your vacation in a pretty, Instagram-worthy spot that truly fits into a destination instead of feeling like it could have appeared anywhere.
But when it comes to choosing between a pre-dawn wakeup at a fashionable neighborhood design hotel in order to get to the airport in time for my flight or just crashing at an airport chain hotel and being able to squeeze in another hour of rest,I always go for Option B.

That is even truer now that I’m attempting to travel during the pandemic.I still want convenience,but my number-one concern is cleanliness.Lots of hotels have adopted measures of disinfection amid the pandemic,but many of them take place outside of a guest’s watchful eye.Admittedly,white walls are cheap,easy,and lack personality and creativity.But these days,they are a place I can easily look for dirty spots without needing a blue light camera.

And while huge sculptures and electric pieces of Pop Art are fun to stare at in museums,they’re too much sensory overload when I’m just trying to feel at ease.Ultimately my sense of peace in a chain hotel room isn’t just about paint colors or art choices,but its uniformity.There’s always a fresh towel to pull off the rack(架子),a pad of paper and a pen on the desk,and a hot shower. When travel makes us stressed out in a city where we may not speak the local language,staying at a chain hotel means that at least something is familiar.
Not everything needs to be dramatic every day.Compared to my usual life in a tiny apartment on a loud,busy street,the quiet cool feeling of placelessness is paradise.

Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.In a bowl of salad,all the ingredients are mixed together. 1 Together,however,the ingredients make up a unity.All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product.They may be covered with the same dressing(调料),but the green vegetables,tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.
Ⅰ

Ⅴ
From this point of view,America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together,yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies,but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2 Each ethnic group has its own special customs,language,food and traditions to protect and defend.This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity;that is,American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ

Ⅴ
3 Here,society is like one large pot of soup.All cultural aspects are mixed together,sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality.The longer the soup is cooked,the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve.In this sense,America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation.There are dozens of shared symbols. 4 In such a culture,symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot,America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5

A.Both are correct depending on one’s point of view.
B.They never lose their shapes,colours or tastes.
C.This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D.In other words,America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E.Thus,one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”.
F.They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G.The other theory,which is also used to describe American society,is the melting pot.

Don’t waste food
My dear friends,
Recently,I have noticed a horrible thing that astonished me.A number of classmates don’t cherish the food.They buy much food and only eat a little.Then,they throw the rest into the dustbins.
What a shame!After all,every bite of the food you throw away contains the hard labor of the producers,including the farmers and the workers. Additionally,many people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat.If you can save the food,they will have more chances to have something to eat.
From where I stand,I do wish all of us can cherish food and never waste food.This is our duty.

Finding a Friend
Two years ago,a dog ran into my yard.When he started to wag his tail and bark,I thought he was nice.But when my hand got close to his forehead,he lashed out and bit me.The next day when I woke up I was lying in the hospital bed with stitches on my right arm from my wrist to my elbow.Even though the dog had to go to the pound,the fear and the scares he gave never left.

You can imagine with my fear of something like this I was an easy target for bullies.I didn’t want to become friends with anyone at my school.
I knew the day would come when the teasing would become too much and I wouldn’t be able to take it any longer.On a Friday it happened and I ended up running to my house instead of taking the bus home.I went straight into the woods.I listened to the hush of the trees and admired the beauty of the falling leaves,letting all the frustration go.

Suddenly I heard whimpering (呜咽).I saw the last thing I wanted to see,a dog.From instinct I stood up,legs tense,but the dog didn’t move.Even with my fear of dogs,a part of me wanted to go and comfort the wounded dog. Eventually my heart overpowered my conscience.Carefully I reached out my right hand.My scar started to tingle,remembering the last time I was this close to a dog.Then,before I was ready the dog stretched out his neck,pushing his head into my hand.At that point I knew we needed each other.

Undoubtedly,that was a picture of the dog sitting right beside me. My heart shattered into a million pieces.The dog who had rescued me from drowning in sadness belonged to someone else.That evening I sat in bed, staring at the sign that I had torn down in anger.Just then it occurred to me that Annie was probably feeling just as miserable as I had before I found “Copper”. At that moment I knew I had to return my friend to his rightful owner.

For many of us,the pandemic(流行病) revealed who our closest friends are.For children,the situation was even more dramatic.Many missed their social circle—especially their best friends.
These friends aren’t just people we enjoy hanging out with;they are the ones we trust completely.As children,we tend to treat them as members of our extended family,to the point where their homes may feel as familiar as our own.As adults,we know we can call them at a moment’s notice to share the highs and lows of our daily lives.

Children often have a pragmatic(务实的) view of friendship,forming close bonds with peers in the playground or classroom,says Eileen Kennedy-Moore.“It is a‘love the one you’re with’ approach.” Psychologists say best friendships can help children prepare for close relationships,including romantic ones,as they grow up.“Best friendship is really like falling in love,” says Kennedy-Moore.“Close friendships in childhood help kids practice the skills they need in close relationships throughout their lives.They learn about other people,and about themselves,to deal with feelings like loneliness,jealousy and frustration.”

If children don’t talk about friends at home,it doesn’t mean they don’t have any,she says,adding that this may be because they prefer a quieter style of interacting with others.Parents can support their children in forming friendships by organizing fun meet-ups outside of school.“Kids usually make friends by doing fun things together,so you may want to think about your children’s interests and seek out activities that fit their personality and could be done with other children,” says Kennedy-Moore.
Whether it’s a playground friend or a close cousin,having a friend and ally in life can clearly make a huge difference.For some,that bond starts in childhood.For others,it may take more time.But it’s worth insisting on—because it’s never too late to find a best friend.
