We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, 16 when we go out to have dinner. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our 17 and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see 18 we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound 19 to you Do you do that often If not, how do you feel when 20 do that when having dinner with you
A recent study suggests that 21 we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some 22 did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, 23 delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you
Besides the scientific result, there are also some other 24 influence of taking photos of food before meals. After 25 the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos I hope a lot of people like 26 !” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are 27 real people.
So, next time you 28 with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food Let the food be delicious as it is, and 29 your life with people around you.
Trust me, it will be a 30 time.

One of my earliest memories is playing “shops” with my granddad when I was 5 years old. After 211 school, I worked in a fruit shop, but I had no 212 to run my own shop back then.
Several years later, I got married. My husband Eric and I heard about a shop for sale in the nearby village. We had a look and decided to have a shop of our own. That was January 1973. Shop-keeping was 213 to us, so we often didn’t know what the 214 were asking for. But we soon learned.
You can tell how 215 it’s going to be by the weather. On wet days, there are very few people around, and when it’s snowy people want bread and milk, as they’re worried about being snowed in. When it’s 216 , everyone buys cold drinks and ice cream.
More people shop online nowadays, but they still come here for things 217 from their online order. I’ve kept up with technology and have a card reader, but the shop itself hasn’t changed much. Now, as I’m getting older, it’s open 218 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Eric passed away 16 years ago, but I 219 considered closing the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 220 they want. There are customers who come in two or three times a day. Customers often tell me their 221 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the 50th birthday of the shop on January 13 this year. I wanted to do something 222 , so I held a party and had drinks and snacks with my customers. I also 223 a book about my memories in the shop. It’s 224 Just Ask Jenny.
This shop has been my life. I never 225 I’d still be here after 50 years, but I love it and the people. That’s what keeps me going.

“Look, it’s Baldy (秃头) !” A boy shouted to me on the playground. Although I was often insulted (侮辱) because of the scars (伤疤) on my head, it was 256 to hear.
When I was just 20 months old, I had an accident (事故) — a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. My parents sent me to hospital at once and I had to stay there for weeks while the doctors tried their best to save my 257 . “It is very lucky for your daughter to be alive,” they told my mum and dad. “But she’ll be left with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t 258 there.”
As a child, I 259 my scars very much, so I always wore a hat to cover them up when I left home. If I didn’t, people would call me terrible names like Baldy. One day, I took part in a children’s burns (烫伤) camp. There I made a friend, a 14-year-old girl, Mary. Her burns were a lot more serious than 260 . But she was so strong that she 261 showed any sadness. “You shouldn’t listen to what people talk about what you look like because we’re not 262 from anyone else.” She told me sincerely (真诚地) . “You don’t need to wear a hat because you look great too without it.” So later, at my 13th birthday party, I took off my 263 and showed off my scars.

forever, and the 266 we traveled, the worse it seemed to get.
Finally we 267 a truck stop. So we pulled in and I got out of the car for 268 .
“Does anybody here know how to find Merridale Road ” I asked.
A very tired waitress looked up and said, “Lady, I haven’t got a clue.”
Since she was not 269 , I looked around at the customers. There, sitting nearby, were four of the toughest men I had ever seen in my life. Chains, Black leather. Skulls and crossbones (骷髅).
I immediately thought of my 270 in the car and what these characters might do to us.
“We know 271 you’re going,” one of them said cheerfully. “Not only that, but we’ll take you there.”
272 I could say no, they got up, paid their bill, and were outside on their motorcycles, gesturing (打手势) , “ 273 us!”
We started to follow them down the dark and quiet country roads.
After a few minutes, my son decided it was all 274 for us. “They’re taking us to a 275 place, and that will be the end,” he said uneasily. “I’m never going to see my school or my friends again. How can you do this to me ”
I 276 to my husband, “I don’t want to scare Jack, but he’s right. I am a bit 277 . It’s dark. The road is getting very lonely. And these people are tough. Maybe I did the 278 thing.”
“No kidding,” he replied. “We’re just going to have to trust that it’s going to be all right.”
About an hour later, after winding through endless back roads deep in the woods, they 279 to us to go left.
We looked up, and there was the sign for Merridale Road. They had put us on the right road after all. And then they waved good-bye and disappeared from view.

（2024·湖北武汉·一模）Five years ago, I was a trail ride leader (越野领队) at a holiday farm in Victoria. My favorite horse was a warmblood called Holly. Aged seven, she was sweet-natured and well-trained; the only 281 with Holly was her lively imagination. I was often surprised by Holly’s reaction to be 282 by rabbits, the wind or even shadows (影子)—sometimes her own shadow!
One day, as we headed back from a ride on the beach, Holly and I were 283 the way over the hilly area. When we were following a trail through the trees, Holly suddenly 284 down and began to move her ears quickly. With care, she started to sniff (嗅) around and gave all the signals that she believed the “horse-eating monsters” were 285 . This made me a little worried.
At the bottom of the hill as we rounded a corner, Holly stopped and stood 286 . I followed her stare to the path (小路) ahead. There, sunning itself in the middle, was a brown snake! This time it was my 287 to get scared—I was on a 288 horse, leading a group of eight inexperienced pre-teen riders!
Unexpectedly, Holly just 289 herself firmly (稳稳地), ears forward. With the snake in her 290 , she looked so calm!
I’ve heard that horses have a better sense of 291 than dogs, but I hadn’t seen it shown before that moment. 292 , while we waited in reality for just a second or two—but for what felt like a century—the snake awoke and glided off into the bush (灌木丛). Holly then 293 , guiding the horses with more care.
It was at that moment that I realized this: Holly had been so watchful just because she was 294 for the safety of us all. Following in the serious footsteps of the lead horse, not one of the other horses showed any fear, not a single horse went wrong and 295 of us got hurt.

When the exam paper was 314 to me, I was surprised and sad. There was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I failed. But how come 315 , on the test paper, I had written down what Mr. Jackson said in class.
Then I realized that no one 316 the exam at all. What had happened
“Very simple,” Mr. Jackson explained. “I had 317 all that story about the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information in your notes was not correct. Do you expect to get 318 marks for incorrect answers ”

Helping Others is Helping Yourself
Have you ever had anything unforgettable between you and your neighbors Do you usually get along well 356 your neighbors When I was young, I heard our neighbor, a retired（退休的）doctor 357 lost his wife. He had a 358 illness which many doctors didn’t meet. He was 359 for a long time and didn’t feel hopeful. He had the finest garden full of different kinds of flowers.

I sang and danced, and he would clap 368 hands and say “Great!” For me, it was a perfect stage. Looking back, he might think that this torture（折磨）was nearly ending.
I thought I could help him smile, but he 369 encouraged me a lot. I learned 370 to deal with difficulties and became happy again by helping him. In a word, helping others is helping yourself.
