I was selfish as a teenager．I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs．I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college．I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination．This didn't change even when I went to college either．I studied hard but only to make my own life better． Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness．
I married after graduation and decided to start a family．Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul．Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way．l found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people．In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me．
Still,I didn't give up on happiness．I knew that there must be a way to find it．I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires．The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born．I got a bottle and held him in my arms．As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes．I smiled and talked to him．Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love．I felt such peace and joy．At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness．
Carolyn Arends wrote："The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets．The more love you get, the more love you have to give．It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring.Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always．

On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend．Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave．When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested．It was not until later that day that they were let go．
The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral．People across the US were outraged．Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today．This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature．
Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race．Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences．
Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society．There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago．Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities．
Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day．However, critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change．
To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause．It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures．
28．What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Very angry． B．Quite curious． C．Very delighted． D．Quite puzzled．
29．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The nature of implicit bias． B．The examples of implicit bias．
C．The basic concepts of implicit bias． D．The negative effects of implicit bias．
30．What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?
A．It will be a shame for Starbucks B．lt will be a meaningless practice．
C．It will raise the police's reputation． D．lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias．
31．What might many experts agree with?
A．Starbucks should be closed．
B．Implicit bias should be ignored．
C．Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias．
D．Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen．
D
At the Fairmont San Francisco in California, the wealthy visitors arriving through the front door aren't the only guests staying at the five-star hotel．On the hotel's rooftop, the buzz(嗡嗡声)of bees can be heard．Bees have become more common guests at hotels, especially in San Francisco．Ten hotels have hives(蜂房)on rooftops．Urban beekeeping allows hotels to market sustainability(可持续性), harvest honey and raise awareness for the particular challenges bees face．
“When companies have honeybees, it helps in a few different ways．．．by bringing awareness to the fact that our noisy friends need flowers that are clean and free of pesticides(杀虫剂)in order to feed, and that our bees need habitats," says Becky Masterman of the University of Minnesota Bee Squad．
The U．S．agricultural industry has come to rely on commercial bees for much of its pollination(授粉)needs．At pollination time, commercial beekeepers provide truckloads of bees．European honeybees and Apis mellifera are brought in．They are not native to North America．Continuing losses of these commercial hives could eventually be felt at the grocery store．The costs of fruits and vegetables that the bees pollinate could potentially go up over time because the pollination costs are higher．
For the hotels, the bees offer more than honey．More guests are looking for places to stay that help the environment, says Melissa Farrar．She is the director of marketing communications for the Fairmont．The Fairmont offers tours of hive spaces to interested guests．Some guests go on to start their own hives．The Fairmont has also hosted school groups from preschoolers to high school photography classes．"Maybe we can help people appreciate that nature's important, and that we take care of the environment．And if you want to eat fruits and veggies, you need bees in the background," says Ms．Farrar．
32．What is the text mainly about?
A．Wildlife research in San Francisco．
B．Environmentally aware tourism in America．
C．The introduction of beekeeping to hotels．
D．The conflict between commercial bees and native bees．
33．What is a result of using commercial bees for pollination?
A．More profits for greengrocers．
B．More expensive fruits and vegetables．
C．A decrease in the number of native bees．
D．An increase in greengrocery diversity in stores．
34．Why would more guests choose to stay at hotels with hives?
A．They regard it as a trendy thing to do．
B．They'd like to try the freshest honey．
C．They consider it an eco-friendly idea．
D．They come to learn to start their own hives．
35．What is Ms．Farrar’s attitude to urban beekeeping?
A．Doubtful B．Supportive C．Disapproving D．Uncaring
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The goal of homework is to help students remember and understand what they learned in school that day. It can also help teach them independence and time-management and planning skills, which are keys to success in the real world. 36 Here are some successful habits of how to do a good job of homework.
Set the stage.
Your children need a quiet spot to do their homework.This should be the same place every day, whether it is at the kitchen table or at their desk in their room. 37 You can take the time to work on a quiet task of your own, whether it's paying bills, reading the newspaper, or planning the next day.
Time it right.
Homework for young children should be done when your children get home from school, because the information is still fresh in their minds and they have enough energy. Have your kids eat some snacks and talk about their day with you. Then have them start their homework. 38
It's not your homework: it's theirs.
You need to be involved in homework to see what your children are learning and how well they know what they need to know. 39 But guide them if they are struggling. You want them to get the feeling of pride and accomplishment on their own.
40
Let your children know how grown up it is for them to have homework and how proud you are of them. Try to instill (灌输）into them that it is “fun” to be able to do the assigned tasks. Let them show you their work, praise them for finishing their homework, and always do it with a smile.
A. Be hopeful and confident.
B. Get excited and be positive.
C. Be nearby while they do their homework.
D. Be sure not to do the homework for your children.
E. That means the television is shut off, even for you.
F. A small amount of homework also has a great influence on students.
G. Arrange other activities for later in the day so kids can get their homework done first.
