In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer．Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded Wang for arriving late．Wang was sad and frustrated．As a husband and father of three children, who shouldered the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently．On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings．
Since then, Wang has been writing poems inspired by his daily life, including a poem New Temple, which occurred to him after he delivered food to construction workers repairing an old temple, and Forgive, based on his observation of a young couple fighting．
Wang's poems, simple yet real, are seen as a tool to process his emotions, especially the personal experiences he has during his work．His heart is healed by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends．In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online．It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times．The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems, under the same title．So far, Wang has written about 4，000 poems．In April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022．
“Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life．Whether it's coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life's struggles, poetry makes me confident and happy，” says Wang．

A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business．But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people．However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step．They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans(小货车) and lorries, and even horse trucks．
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs．These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only ￡5，000－￡10，000．With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years．In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk．
The first entrepreneurs (创业者) to do this have been in the food business．The mobile food vendor(小贩) trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe．The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels．
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items．There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices．Mobile retail(零售) is not without problems, however．Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with．These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages．In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million．
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business．Others are satisfied to stay mobile．As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times．
8．What's the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A．High profit．
B．Strong interest．
C．Low investment．
D．Convenient transport．
9．How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2
A．By quoting a famous saying．
B．By giving an example．
C．By providing an explanation．
D．By making a comparison．
10．Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run mobile business
A．The vehicle care．
B．The business permit．
C．The terrible storm．
D．The insufficient supply．
11．What's the author's attitude towards the future of mobile business
A．Negative．　　　 B．Positive．
C．Unconcerned． D．Neutral．
D
Family vlogging—the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family, usually on video sharing website—has become big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children．The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make．At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money．However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention
For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy．Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others．They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed．Comments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors can also affect the parents' reactions towards their children．
Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children's lives．As the children reach adolescence, there is a greater need for personal space．At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends．Teenhood is a time of significant changes in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public．
Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives．There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to．Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake．
12．How does vlogging about children's lives influence the family
A．Children will get used to public attention．
B．Children may suffer from too much pressure．
C．Parents may show no concern for their children．
D．Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public．
13．How does the writer mainly develop his argument
A．By providing examples．
B．By listing numbers．
C．By making comparisons．
D．By analysing causes．
14．What's the writer's purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce a new big business．
B．To show how vlogging influences people's lives．
C．To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers．
D．To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children's lives．
15．What's the writer's attitude to vlogging about children's lives
A．Negative． B．Positive．
C．Neutral． D．Uninterested．

Advertisements are designed to persuade us, but which techniques are effective in talking us into buying things
16 Normalisation can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal．This is like product placement—where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films．Beth, an assistant professor of marketing and advertising, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious． 17 It seems that a subtle (不易察觉的) approach can be more persuasive．
Appealing to our emotions is another strategy advertisers use． 18 Jannet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool, we need to believe: when fears are raised, people tend to take action to make a difference, like buying something．But when fears are exaggerated or we feel helpless, we are likely to switch off．
Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support． 19 The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products．These studies say that seeing a more human side of people can lead us to believe them． 20
So, it seems that the best technique advertisers can use to persuade people is to fully understand the people they are selling to．
A．Some of them use fear to persuade us．
B．One way is simply to describe something as normal．
C．Superstars are gradually losing their commercial value．
D．We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something．
E．However, a researcher in marketing points out this may not be the best strategy．
F．A common technique to make an emotional impact is to create a memorable slogan．
G．And endorsements (代言) from characters who admit their mistakes can be more believable．

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。
Cold December wind passed right through my worn coat．I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn't much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop．Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway．That's why we were on our way to town to pay the bill in person．
I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up．The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside．
After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich's department store．There was Santa in a big wooden chair．“You two go talk to him，” she said．“Just don't expect to get all you ask for．” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby．
Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted．Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil．“Is your mother with you two？” he asked．I pointed to the bench．“That's our mama over there．She's waiting for us to finish．” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee．“Could you ask her to come and talk to me？” he said．
Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes．Santa took a couple of more notes．Then Mama brought us home．We didn't dare ask about their private conversation．On Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had．There were no toys from Santa under the tree．No presents at all, really．But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again．I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door．Daddy opened it to a man I'd never seen before．He was holding a big box．“This is for you and your family，” he said． “Merry Christmas！” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in．Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up．Inside was an envelope and a lot of food! Daddy read the letter from the envelope，“May you be happy！”
Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and Mama unpacked the food from the box． The first thing was a big can of pork and beans．Buddy Earl's eyes went wide．“An angel came to our door today，” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of sugar crisp．With gratitude, we had a happy Christmas．Not long after the festival, Daddy was called back to work．My sister recovered from her illness．I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm．
