When it comes to delicious food, nothing beats our grandma’ s cooking! Well, maybe except more grandmas’ cooking in the same kitchen. It is what goes on at Enoteca Maria, an Italian restaurant in New York City. The restaurant hires（雇佣） grandmas from all over the world, instead of actual cooks.

Over time, Jody decided to invite grandmas worldwide. Today, the restaurant has grandmas from around 30 countries, like Brazil, China and Japan. They take turns to work in the kitchen.
The restaurant is only open three days a week: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its website lists the menu for each of these days. Half of the menu is fixed and it’s all Italian dishes. The other half changes daily and it includes dishes from around the world.
Each night, one of the grandmas designs （设计）a fresh menu. It usually includes traditional dishes from her home country and the food she loves best. How do people like the food Well, the restaurant is full of people on most nights. As the grandmas happily work in the kitchen, business is running at full speed at this restaurant!

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight （视力） And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent（永久的） night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
（Adapted from “Three Days to See” by Helen Keller）

① Elton John once sang: “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” But in Canada, there aren’t many words that are more easily or commonly spoken like sorry. Or, that’s the way it seems, say visitors to the country. And it’s something that Canadians admit themselves.
②Canadians apologize for coming to work early, for driving past a car on a street, for feeding you more than they should and sometimes to even themselves! Then why do Canadians apologize so much, even when they don’t need to
③It’s part of Canadian culture, say some people. That doesn’t mean other cultures are less polite. But saying sorry does at least show you’re trying to be nice - and many people think Canada is a polite country, so its citizens may be trying to protect that idea.
④ For many Canadians, apologizing has become something they do without thinking. Even if someone walks into a Canadian in the street and the Canadian isn’t at fault, the Canadian is likely to say sorry. It could be a way to avoid conflict （冲突）-it’s often easier to say sorry than to shout at someone and have a fight.
⑤ But when Canadians say sorry, that doesn’t always mean they’re really sorry. Sometimes it means they realize that something bad has happened, but not saying they think it’s their fault.
⑥ That idea is even in Canadian law. For example, the Apology Act in the province of Ontario says that making an apology does not mean you’re admitting you’ re at fault.
⑦So how do Canadians apologize and mean it A study found that only 62% of Canadians actually think “I am sorry” is a good apology. Instead, 80% think “I sincerely apologize” is the best thing to say.
33．Why is Elton John’s song mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To show the singer was wrong.
C．To make the readers think deeply.
34．Which paragraphs tell the deep reasons behind the Canadian Sorry
A．①② B．②③ C．③④
35．What does the Apology Act in Ontario say about making an apology
A．It doesn’t mean you admit you’re wrong.
B．It should be accepted by law.
C．It can be used to avoid risk.
36．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage
A．Travel. B．Culture. C．History.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Everyone likes a good laugh from time to time, and science supports that feeling. In fact, we start to laugh even before we start to speak.
To understand why we laugh, let’s go back to our very beginnings. Think back to a time when the main meal was a four-legged animal running away from us, and we had to hunt it down to fill our stomachs. At the same time, there were also animals running towards us, hunting us down to feed themselves. 37 . So it makes sense that when the danger finally passed, early humans shared a laugh with one another as if to tell the group everything was OK and that there was no need to be anxious or threatened by what was happening around them.
38 . “Laughter can make it easier for couples to communicate and strong their relationships,” one researcher said. In addition, laughter is 30 times more prone to happen together with others than when one is alone. It’s contagious（有感染力的）. 39 .
Laughter is like a pill in your medicine box to help you feel better. And it’s free. 40 . If you want to use the healing power of laughter, a funny movie might help— but it’s really the connections laughter builds with other people that count.
A．At such dangerous times, early humans were under great stress B．Laughter is the glue that keeps people together C．People relax themselves through laughing D．So don’t think it is silly or useless E．You’re much more likely to laugh if you hear someone else laughing

Every day, she spends about five minutes practicing on language-learning app Duolingo, which has lasted for over 300 days. With her teacher from Shanghai on screen, she reads books and practices 46 . “I think Chinese will be really 47 . My grandma and other family members speak it, so I hope to talk with them in Chinese,” she says.
Ken, a Japanese man, uses Duolingo to improve his Chinese twice a week. He hopes that when he visits his wife’ s hometown of Chongqing next time, he’ll 48 communicate with her families in Chinese.

I once faced a big problem with my English pronunciation. I found it difficult to speak clearly and confidently. To solve this, I started practicing every day. I listened to English songs, watched English movies, and imitated the pronunciation of native speakers. Additionally, I joined an English club at school where I could practice speaking with my classmates. Over time, my pronunciation improved significantly, and I became more confident in speaking English. This experience taught me the importance of persistence and practice.
