Cheap Travel Destinations for Winter Trips

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present.
The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.
At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. Later James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

Alison Malmon was trapping up (完成) the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness.
Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to empower (使能够) students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today's young people face.
“What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”
And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today’s society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially prescribed(社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.
Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today's young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isn’t the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people can't avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms(准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.
For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties" onto their kids through “excessive(过多的) involvement in their child’s routines, activities or emotions”
Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they’re concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generation's social justice issue,” she said. “It's our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it's not their fault.”
28. What is the article mainly about?
A. The effects of the culture of perfectionism.
B. Research into the trend of perfectionism.
C.A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.
D. Various pressures that today's young people are facing.
29. What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?
A. Her brother’s mental illness.
B. Her project during the freshman year.
C. The pressure she had experienced.
D. Her strong interest in mental health.
30. What may be pushing today’s young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article?
a. The impact of social media.
b. parents' high expectations of their children.
c. The decreasing number of college students.
d. The fierce competition in society.
e. Their desire to draw their parents’ attention.
A .a, b, c B. a, d, e C. a, b, d D. b, c, e
31. What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?
A. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.
B. Lowering their expectations of themselves.
C. Reducing parents involvement in their children’s life.
D. Making them aware of what true social justice is.
D
In the Pacific Northwest, there is a kind of owl (猫头鹰) that serves as a unique piece to the Northwest habitat—the northern spotted owl.
Northern spotted owls are known to be curious. When seeing you, these owls will come down close and check you out.
The northern spotted owl has been a savior(救世主)of old-growth forests. Old-growth forests are forests that have been around for a long time without significant disturbances. One way the spotted owl has become a protector of old-growth forests is simply by being there. The northern spotted owl has become endangered, and so to protect them from dying out, the government has to protect their habitat. So now any destruction of old-growth forests is illegal. Another way the owls help their habitat is by eating small animals. This helps create a balance in the forest.
So, if the northern spotted owl is in a habitat that is protected by laws, why are they still endangered?
Unfortunately, a cousin of the northern spotted owl has moved into its neighborhood. The bigger, more aggressive(好斗的,侵略性的)“barred owl” has grown in population and due to loss of the forests they lived in on the East Coast of the United States, they have begun to move to the west coast.
These owls are taking the food source and pushing northern spotted owls out of their own home. Although the barred owl is able to live in different habitats, the northern spotted owl can only live in old-growth forests.
Many government officials have been at a loss to find an answer to the difficult question, “What do we do with the non-native barred owls?” Some methods include shooting them. It is a difficult problem to deal with. Can you think of any possible solutions?
32. What do we know about the northern spotted owl?
A. It is particular about its food.
B. It has difficulty adapting to a new habitat.
C. It seems dangerous and aggressive.
D. It is a common bird in the USA.
33. Old-growth forests seem to _______.
A. become less safe for the owls B. benefit from northern spotted owls
C. be in danger of dying out D. regrow at a fast speed
34. Northern spotted owls are in danger mainly because of _______.
A. illegal hunting B. the destruction of the forests
C. another kind of owl D. environmental pollution
35. The methods being used to help northern spotted owls are _______.
A. creative B. far-sighted C. unbearable D. ineffective

Jennifer got off the bus from the university and began walking towards the flat she shared with two other students. __36__ She picked up a wire basket and walked towards the back of the shop, where the rice was kept.

When she got to the still, the two boys were in front of her. She watched them pay for the few things they had in the basket. They had both buttoned their coats and fastened them with their belts. __40__ He even smiled at them as they were about to leave. Jennifer opened her mouth to say something.

Dear Abby,
How are you? I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. Three hundreds and twenty students took the exam for it, but only a few were chosen and I was one of them. Therefore, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against my going there. They say it is too far that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid that I will feel alone and will not be used to the climate here. They can't imagine a young girl like me live alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I'll be able to continue living with them. How could I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文
Nowadays, after-class activities are becoming more and more popular in high schools. In our schools, there are various activities, such as arts and sports. We enjoy them very much. Playing basketball and reading stories are my favorite which does me a lot of good. Besides building my body and enriching my knowledge, they also free me from heavy work of study.
Here I have some suggestions. To students, you’d better choose activities which interest you and others; to schools, they should organize more activities for students and leave students more time for activities by giving them less homework.
Dear friends, please actively take part in after-class activities, which will not only make your school life more colorful but also improve your study.
