Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it's not big enough or they don't have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise.“ No matter what color it is, it's a friendship table,” Kristin says.
4. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement
A. To host more parties in her front yard.
B. To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood.
D. To create harmon ous communities worldwide.

Snow crab legs, the centerpiece of any self-respecting seafood, are no longer on the menu. They are the victim of a massive population crash that led Alaska to cancel its Bering Sea snow crab harvest for the first time in recorded history this year. The$132 million-a-year industry saw the state's snow crab population drop 87%, from 8billion in 2018 to 1 billion last year. Officials suggested that climate change might be to blame; Alaska is the fastest-warming state in the U. S. But that's only part of the story, says Wes Jones, an Alaska-based fisheries expert. According too the marine biologists he works with,, the most immediate cause of snow crab death is something even seasoned fishermen didn't see coming: a mass cannibalism(同类相食) frenzy.
Back in 2017, Jones says, local crabbers started reporting a population explosion of juvenile snow crabs. The boom continued into 2019, creating what Jones says was the largest population on record. At the time, the young crabs were too small for a legal harvest- juvenile snow crabs take four to five years to be fully mature. Meanwhile, Bering Sea temperatures , which is usually close to freezing, jumped several degrees from 2017 to 2019 and caused the species to speed up their metabolisms(新陈代谢).“All of a sudden you had this huge number of little crabs coming up, eating themselves out of house and home.” says Jones. “Then the water warmed, which meant they had to eat more.” It was a double whammy , and the results were unenviable for a hungry species that has run out of its usual food source. They basically cannibalized each other.” he says.
Snow crabs are only the latest victims of climate change in the Bering Sea. Ris ng temperatures have often led to unpredictable boom-and-bus t cycles, which have had unanticipated consequences up and down the food chain. A population explosion of sockeye salmon is one likely reason for the recent collapse of Alaska's red king crab harvest, which was also canceled this year. Meanwhile, the warming waters of the Bering Sea have opened the door for Pacific cod, a predator of juvenile crabs.
It will be years before the Alaskan snow crab population recovers to harvest-worthy levels, says Jones. And that's only if temperatures in the Bering Sea stay cool enough for the cold-loving juveniles—and climate change is making everything harder to predict. “When you start seeing things outside of the range of what you’ve seen before,” says Jones, “you don't know how that is gonna affect something until it's happened, like rising water temperatures and cannibalism.”
8. Why did Alaska cancel its Bering Sea snow crabs harvest this year
A. Customers are no longer crazy about snow crab.
B. Snow crabs consume another species as food.

D. Alaska suffers from severe climate change.
9. What does the underlined phrase “double whammy” mean in paragraph 2
A. a shortage of food source and cannibalism.
B. climate change in the Bering Sea illegal sea harvest
C. the advanced metabolism and freezing sea temperature.
D. a population explosion of snow crabs and a rise of the sea temperature.
10. What can we learn from Wes Jones` words in the last paragraph
A. Bering Sea is certain to stay cool enough for the snow crab.
B. Alaskan snow crab population will recover instantly.
C. The current situation is hard to predict until it`s happened
D. It is effortless to research how fast the climate changes
11. What`s the best title of the text
A. Alaskan fishing industry suffers heavy losses.
B. Climate change leads to victims in the Bering Sea.

D. The curious case of the cannibal crabs.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas.
This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
12. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to .
A. a lack of confidence in technology
B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions
D. a waste of limited resources
13. The example in Paragraph 4suggests that donators should .
A. take people's essential needs into account
B. make their programmes affordable to people
C. ensure that individuals gets financial support
D. provide more alternative Internet facilities
14. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Focusing on the role of international communication.
15. What can we learn from the passage
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is vital to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.

It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little uncomfortable, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I overslept and as a result, was a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The roads were already jammed with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well.
My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed an accident.
It all happened in an instant, as most accidents do. A car took a left turning without signaling and a school bus crashed into it heavily. A few cars behind the school bus hit the bus as they could not stop in time and soon it became a pile-up. The car was damaged badly while the school bus also had some damage. And the already crowded road became more jammed with vehicles, which came to a mess. We wanted to help the victims. My sister drove to a stop at the roadside not too far from the accident spot.
The scene that greeted us was terrible. I first rushed to the car. The driver, a lady, lay trapped behind the wheel, unable to move. Three schoolchildren were in the back seat, their faces white with fear. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. They were conscious although too weak and frightened to realize what had happened. We called an ambulance and while waiting, we tried as much as possible to help the victims. As a result of our joint efforts, the driver and the children were moved to safety and taken care of.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Roy,
Glad to hear from you. I'm delighted to inform you of some relevant details about our school's art exhibition of painting and photography.
The two-week art exhibition, which is being held in our gym, displays over 100 paintings and photos of various subjects and styles. The works are close to nature and life, making them extremely attractive. They truly reflect the participants' careful observation and positive attitude. Not only does the exhibition broaden our horizons, but it also helps improve our taste in beauty. I sincerely expect you to come and appreciate the works in person.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
Then I rushed to the school bus filled with children's cries. Inside were the frightened schoolchildren. Many of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies in the crash. The children were crying and screaming for their parents. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. We managed to calm them down. Soon, the doctors in an ambulance came to the scene.
After the ambulance had left, two policemen asked me about the accident. They were taking statements from eyewitnesses. My sister and I gave a full account to the police of what had happened. As a matter of fact, it could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful. Of course I was late for school, but I knew what I should do to avoid that was set off earlier. The accident also taught us an important lesson we should always obey the traffic rules and keep safety in mind.

It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas.
This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.

A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.

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。
It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little uncomfortable, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I overslept and as a result, was a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The roads were already jammed with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well.
My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed an accident.
It all happened in an instant, as most accidents do. A car took a left turning without signaling and a school bus crashed into it heavily. A few cars behind the school bus hit the bus as they could not stop in time and soon it became a pile-up. The car was damaged badly while the school bus also had some damage. And the already crowded road became more jammed with vehicles, which came to a mess. We wanted to help the victims. My sister drove to a stop at the roadside not too far from the accident spot.
The scene that greeted us was terrible. I first rushed to the car. The driver, a lady, lay trapped behind the wheel, unable to move. Three schoolchildren were in the back seat, their faces white with fear. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the head and hands. They were conscious although too weak and frightened to realize what had happened. We called an ambulance and while waiting, we tried as much as possible to help the victims. As a result of our joint efforts, the driver and the children were moved to safety and taken care of.

Then I rushed to the school bus filled with children's cries. Inside were the frightened schoolchildren. Many of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies in the crash. The children were crying and screaming for their parents. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. We managed to calm them down. Soon, the doctors in an ambulance came to the scene.
After the ambulance had left, two policemen asked me about the accident. They were taking statements from eyewitnesses. My sister and I gave a full account to the police of what had happened. As a matter of fact, it could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful. Of course I was late for school, but I knew what I should do to avoid that was set off earlier. The accident also taught us an important lesson we should always obey the traffic rules and keep safety in mind.
