A
＂I
want
a
phone!"
said
Myrna.
＂I'm
sure
you
do,"
said
her
dad.
＂No,
Dad.
You
don't
understand.
I
really,
really,
really
want
a
phone."
＂And
I
really,
really,
really
want
a
boat.
It's
not
going
to
happen."
Myrna
and
her
dad
were
stuck
in
traffic.
To
her,
it
seemed
like
they
were
always
stuck
in
traffic.
When
he
took
her
to
school
in
the
morning-traffic.
When
he
picked
her
up
in
the
afternoon-traffic.
Go
to
the
bank,
the
grocery,
a
birthday
party,
and
what
felt
like
ten
hours
of
traffic
was
what
they
got.
She
was
bored,
because
traffic
was
boring.
And
when
she
was
bored,
she
wanted
things.
Right
now,she
wanted
a
phone.
She
wasn't
sure
if
her
dad
understood
that.
She
would
have
to
tell
him
again.
＂I
WANT
A
PHONE."
＂NO."
＂What
if
I
got
stuck
in
a
cave?"
＂What?"
asked
her
dad,
trying
not
to
laugh.
＂What
if
I
had
a
little
cat
and
the
cat
ran
away,
and
I
had
to
run
after
it.
What
if
the
cat
ran
into
a
cave,and
I
ran
after
the
kitten,
and
in
the
cave
there
was
a
bear,
and
the
bear
trapped
me,and-"
＂And
then
you
were
stuck
in
the
cave."
Myrna
nodded
the
way
she
did
when
she
won
an
argument,
but
her
dad
wasn't
through
fighting.
＂Is
this
a
mother
bear?
I
hear
they
are
the
fiercest."
＂Yes.
It's
a
mother
bear,
and
she's
very
upset,
and
she's
going
to
eat
me
unless
I
have
a
phone
to
call
for
help."
＂If
it's
a
mother
bear,
then
you
can
use
her
phone.
Everyone
knows
that
mums
always
carry
phones."
Dad
was
laughing
as
he
said
this.
Myrna
didn't
think
it
was
very
funny.
She
slammed
her
hand
down
on
the
door
of
the
car
as
hard
as
she
could,
which
wasn't
very
hard.
Now
she
was
angry.
＂If
I
had
a
phone,
I
could
play
games
on
it!"
＂If
I
had
a
boat,
I
could
eat
steaks
on
it.
That
doesn't
mean
I'm
getting
one."
＂No,but
I
mean..."
Myrna
spluttered(结巴）。When
she
was
very
angry,she
spluttered.
It
was
embarrassing.
"If
I
could
play
games,
I
wouldn't
be
so
bored
when
we
were
in
traffic.
I
wouldn't
bother'
you!"
＂I
don't
mind
being
bothered.
I
like
talking
to
you."
＂Then
I
won't
say
anything
at
all!"
Dad
smiled
quietly
to
himself.
"I'm
going
to
call
Mum
to
let
her
know
we'll
be
late."
He
reached
into
his
pocket.
"Oh!
My
battery's
dead."
＂You
know...
if
I
had
a
phone,
I
could
call
Mum,"
said
Myrna.
＂Nice
try."
Myrna
smiled.
She
wasn't
getting
a
phone,but
she
knew
she
was
right,
and
that
was
almost
as
good.

As
an
adult,
you
have
to
do
things
like
waking
up
before
noon,
going
to
the
grocery
store
on
your
own,
and
trying
to
keep
a
steady
job.
And
some
jobs
will
require
you
to
speak
before
more
than
two
people.
Don't
worry.
We've
done
the
research
to
make
you
a
better
public
speaker.
Now
all
you
have
to
do
is
to
follow
the
rules
we
have
collected.
Confidence
Believe
in
yourself
if
you
want
to
be
a
better
public
speaker.
Many
speakers
are
no
prepared
and
lose
confidence
because
of
that.
But
others
lack
confidence
because
they
are
afraid
of
being
judged
and
they
become
nervous
and
sweat
a
lot
just
like
when
they
were
in
high
school
speech
class.
Yes,that's
the
mature(成熟的，成年人的）world
we
live
in.
Build
your
confidence
by
using
all
your
tools
and
realizing
that
you
are
the
centre
of
public
speaking.
Know
what's
up
You
have
to
know
your
topic
inside
and
out.
Nothing
kills
your
speech
like
"um"
and
"uh"
appearing
in
every
sentence.
You
are
possibly
picked
to
make
this
speech
because
you
know
something
about
the
topic,so
that's
half
success.Now
get
in
there
and
learn
everything
about
the
topic
.
Practice
Researching
and
knowing
your
topic
is
one
thing,but
actually
expressing
that
information
is
a
wholly
different
thing.When
the
lights
go
down
and
the
spotlight(聚光灯）
is
on
you,
no
matter
how
much
you
know
your
topic,
expressing
the
information
suddenly
seems
frightening.
It
is
necessary
to
practice
your
speech
before
standing
on
stage.
You
should
do
the
rehearsal(排练）
again
and
again
in
front
of
the
mirror.
So
when
you
stand
on
stage,
it
will
be
like
riding
a
bike
unless
you
don't
know
how
to
ride
a
bike.
Dress
properly
Of
course,
you
will
want
to
dress
properly
for
the
speech-which
could
be
a
suit(套装）。Regardless
of
the
dressing,
you
will
want
to
make
sure
it
is
also
comfortable
for
you.
If
the
suit
is
too
tight,stiff,
or
whatever,
it
will
take
your
attention
away
from
the
speech.
Be
Robin
Williams
You
may
not
be
naturally
funny.
In
fact,
you
can
learn
to
be
funny
from
other
people
who
happen
to
be
funny.
While
we
are
not
suggesting
you
become
Robin
Williams,we
suggest
you
arm
yourself
with
a
joke
or
two
to
make
sure
that
your
speech
is
not
so
boring.
Or
at
least
google
some
funny
words
or
stories
you
can
use
in
your
speech.
24.

The
number
of
American
young
students
using
vaping(电子烟）fell
sharply
this
year,
according
to
a
2020
survey.
The
2020
survey
was
carried
out
by
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention(CDC)
and
the
U.S.
Food
and
Drug
Administration(FDA).
About
20,000
American
students
took
part
in
the
survey
from
mid-January
to
mid-March.
They
were
asked
about
the
use
of
any
vaping
or
tobacco
products
during
the
past
month.
Under
20
%
of
high
school
students
said
they
were
recent
users
of
e-cigarettes
and
other
vaping
products.
Just
5
%
of
middle
school
students
said
they
had
recently
used
them.
That
marked
a
big
decrease
from
a
similar
survey
in
2019.
The
earlier
survey
found
nearly
28%
of
high
school
students
and
11%
of
middle
school
students
had
recently
vaped.
Health
experts
believe
that
the
drop
comes
after
last
year's
sudden
increase
in
vaping-related
illnesses
and
death.
An
investigation
showed
that
last
year,
more
than
2,600
cases
of
lung
injuries,
including
60
deaths,
were
connected
with
vaping.
Most
of
those
who
got
sick
said
they
had
vaped
mixtures
containing
THC.
Earlier
this
year,the
FDA
banned
some
flavors(味道）
from
vaping
devices
mainly
used
by
teens.
And
the
federal
law
now
bans(禁止）
sales
of
all
tobacco
products
and
e-cigarettes
to
anyone
under
the
age
of
21.
Matt
Myers
of
the
Campaign
for
Tobacco-Free
Kids
said
the
survey
showed
a
"meaningful
drop'”
in
teen
vaping.
But
he
felt
disappointed
that
the
Trump
government
didn't
follow
through
a
promise
to
ban
all
flavored
e-cigarettes."As
long
as
any
flavored
e-cigarettes
are
left
on
the
market,
kids
will
get
their
hands
on
them
and
we
will
not
solve
the
crisis,"Myers
said.
28.
Which
of
the
following
statement
is
true?
A.Vaping
rates
among
young
students
in
the
U.S
went
up
last
year.
B.
The
vaping
increase
was
not
linked
to
popular
e-cigarettes.
C.Most
patients
surveyed
blamed
their
disease
on
mixtures
containing
THC.
D.
The
Trump
government
said
no
to
all
flavored
e-cigarettes.
29.

is
mainly
talked
about
in
paragraph
4?
A.
what

the
drop
in
vaping
among
teens
B.what
effects

has
on
teens

teens

To
this
day,
I
remember
my
mum's
letters.
It
all
started
in
December,
1941.
Every
night
she
wrote
to
my
brother
Johnny,who
had
joined
the
army
that
summer.
We
had
not
heard
from
him
since
the
Japanese
attacked
Pearl
Harbor.
I
didn't
understand
why
my
mum
kept
writing
to
Johnny
when
he
never
wrote
back.
＂Wait
and
see--we'll
get
a
letter
from
him
one
day,”
she
claimed.
Mum
said
that
there
was
a
direct
link
from
the
brain
to
the
written
word
that
was
just
as
strong
as
the
light
God
has
given
us.
She
trusted
that
this
light
would
find
Johnny.
I
don't
know
if
she
said
that
to
calm
herself,
dad
or
all
of
us
down.
But
I
do
know
that
it
helped
us
stick
together,
and
one
day
a
letter
really
did
arrive.
Johnny
was
alive
on
an
island
in
the
Pacific.
I
had
always
been
amused
by
the
fact
that
mum
signed
her
letters,Cecilia
Capuzzi,
and
I
made
fun
of
her
about
that.
“Why
don't
you
just
write
“Mom'?”I
said.
Around
next
spring
mum
had
got
two
more
sons
to
write
to.
Every
evening
she
wrote
three
letters
which
she
gave
me
and
dad
afterwards
so
we
could
add
our
greetings.
By
and
by,
the
rumor
about
mum's
letters
spread.
One
day,
a
small
woman
knocked
at
our
door.
Her
voice
trembled
as
she
asked:
"Is
it
true
you
write
letters?”
＂I
write
to
my
sons."
“And
you
can
read
too?”
whispered
the
woman.
“Sure.”
The
woman
opened
her
bag
and
pulled
out
a
pile
of
airmail
letters.
Read...please
read
them
aloud
to
me.
The
letters
were
from
the
woman's
son,
a
soldier
in
Europe.
Mum
had
no
difficulty
reading
the
letters
one
by
one
and
translated
them
from
English
to
Italian.
The
woman's
eyes
welled
up
with
tears.
“＂Now
I
have
to
write
to
him,"she
said.But
how
was
she
going
to
do
it?
＂Make
some
coffee,Octavia,"mum
yelled
to
me.She
seated
the
woman
and
started
to
write.
When
she
had
finished,
she
read
the
letter
aloud
to
the
woman.
＂How
did
you
know
that
was
exactly
what
I
wanted
to
say?”
＂I
often
say
and
look
at
my
boys'
letters,
just
like
you,
without
a
clue
about
what
to
write.”
A
few
days
later,
more
and
more
people
in
our
town
asked
mum
to
write
letters
for
them.
Sometimes
she
would
write
letters
all
day
long.
Even
after
the
war,
many
people
turned
to
mum.
On
one
occasion,
mum
admitted
that
she
had
always
had
a
secret
dream
of
writing
a
novel.
“Why
didn't
you?”
I
asked.
“All
people
in
this
world
are
here
with
one
particular
purpose,”
she
said.
“Obviously,
mine
is
to
write
letters.A
letter
unites
people
like
nothing
else.
It
can
make
them
cry
and
laugh.”
Today,all
mum's
letters
are
lost.
But
those
who
got
them
still
talk
about
her
and
cherish
the
memory
of
her
letters
in
their
hearts.

江苏省镇江市2020-2021学年高一上期中九校联考英语试卷
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Feeling
a
bit
bored
with
your
job
and
fancy
a
change?
Why
not
try
one
of
these
jobs
out?
They're
probably
not
to
everyone's
taste,but
believe
it
or
not,
these
are
actually
real
jobs
done
by
real
people.
Here
are
the
top
5
weirdest
jobs
in
the
world:
1.Professional
sleeper:
A
hotel
in
Finland
hired
a
member
of
staff
as
a
'professional
sleeper'
to
test
the
comfort
of
their
beds.
The
individual
sleeps
in
a
different
one
of
the
hotel
beds
each
night
and
writes
a
review
about
her
satisfaction
with
each
one.
2.
Drying
paint
watcher:
No,
this
isn't
a
joke.
Someone
actually
earns
a
living
watching
paint
dry.
A
man
in
the
UK
currently
has
the
job
and
he
spends
his
days
painting
sheets
of
cardboard
to
test
how
long
new
paint
mixes
take
to
dry
and
watching
for
changes
in
color
and
texture.
3.Train
Pusher:
If
you
think
the
London
Underground
is
bad,
you
should
see
the
trains
in
Japan.
'Oshiyas'
are
hired
to
help
cram
as
many
people
onto
a
train
as
possible
by
pushing
them
from
the
outside
until
the
doors
will
close.
4.
Snake
Milker:
Not
for
the
light-hearted.
The
job
of
a
snake
milker
is
to
collect
the
venom
of
poisonous
snakes
in
jars
for
use
in
anti-venoms
and
other
medication.
Thank
god
someone's
brave
enough!
5.Scuba
Diving
Pizza
Delivery
Man:
If
the
fact
that
there's
an
underwater
hotel
in
Florida
isn't
bizarre
enough,
to
add
on
to
that,
they
have
a
scuba
diving
pizza
delivery
man
who
supplies
them
with
pizza
by
carrying
them
through
the
sea
in
a

case.

as
a
'professional
sleeper'
to
test
the
quality
of
their
beds.
B.A
drying
paint
watcher
spends
his
days
painting
sheets
of
cardboard
and
watching
for
changes
in
color
just
out
of
boredom.
C.It's
bizarre
that
an
underwater
hotel
in
Florida
has
a
man
deliver
pizza
by
carrying
them
through
the
sea
in
a
watertight
case.
D.These
weirdest
jobs
are
actually
unreal
jobs

films.
B
The
only
proved
lock
of
Jane
Austen'
s
hair
was
sold
at
Sotheby's
in
1948.
Attendees
at
the
next
Annual
Meeting
of
the
newly
formed
Jane
Austen
Society
were
expressing
great
sadness
to
the
loss
of
this
relic
to
an
American
when
Alberta
H.
Burke
rose
to
her
feet."I
am
the
American
who
bought
Jane'
s
hair,
and
if
the
Society
would
like
to
have
it,I
shall
be
glad
to
make
a
contribution
of
it.'"
The
Society
agreed,and
the
hair
is
now
in
the
Jane
Austen
House
at
Chawton.But
Mrs
Burke'
s
collection
of
Austen'
s
letters
and
manuscripts(手稿）was
donated
to
the
Pierpont
Morgan
Library
in
New
York,
combined
with
other
letters
purchased
for
the
library.
Having
kept
the
hair
and
lost
the
handwriting,English
Janeites
may
cast
envious
glances
towards
New
York,
where
an
exhibition
of
letters
and
manuscripts,
together
with
first
and
early
illustrated
editions
of
Austen'
s
novels
and
other
related
material,currently
occupies
part
of
the
Morgan.
A
good
modern
edition
of
Austen'
s
letters
was
published
by
R.
W.
Chapman
in
1932
and
updated
in
1952;
in
1995,Deirdre
Le
Faye
re-edited
the
collection
for
Oxford
University
Press.
It
represents
a
small
fraction
of
Austen'
s
output,
estimated
to
have
been
around
3,000
letters,mostly
written
to
her
sister
Cassandra.
As
Virginia
Woolf
imagines
their
loss,"when
Miss
Cassandra
Austen
grew
old,
and
the
growth
of
her
sister's
fame
made
her
suspect
that
a
time
might
come
when
strangers
would
try
to
find
out
and
scholars
make
guesses
about,
she
burnt,at
great
cost
to
herself,
every
letter
that
could
satisfy
their
curiosity,
and
spared
only
what
she
judged
to
be
too
unimportant
to
be
of
interest”。
Even
those
that
escaped
have
had
lines
removed
by
cutting.
Nevertheless,
much
of
interest
remains.
Visitors
may
not
read
all
seventeen
letters
on
display.
But
those
with
the
eyes
to
focus
will
be
able
to
find
evidence
of
Austen'
s
sharp
tongue,as
when
a
neighbour'
s
wife
is
discovered
to
be
"everything
that
the
Neighbourhood
could
wish
her,silly
and
cross".We
can
see
her
sense
of
the
ridiculous,
her
talent
for
skillful
characterization
and
a
writer's
high
spirits
that
rarely
desert
her
for
long.
24.Where
can
people
see
the
only
proved
lock
of
Jane
Austen'
s
hair
housed?
A.Sotheby
B.Alberta
H.Burke'
s
house
C.the
Jane
Austen
House
at
Chawton
D.the
Pierpont
Morgan
Library
25.Why
may
English
Janeites
cast
envious
glances
towards
New
York?
A.
Because
a
small
fraction
of
Austen'
s
output,
estimated
to
have
been
around
3,000
letters,
currently
occupies
part
of
the
Morgan.
B.Because
though
her
hair
was
kept
in
Britain,
many
other
things
left
by
Austen
were
in
New
York
C.Because
a
good
modern
edition
of
Austen'
s
letters
was
published
in
New
York.
D.Because
Deirdre
Le
Faye
re-edited
Austen'
s
collection
for
the
Pierpont
Morgan
Library
in
New
York.
26.Which
of
the
following
does
the
underlined
word
"relic”
in
Paragraph
1
refer
to?
A.lock
B.hair
C.letter
D.
manuscript
27.We
can
infer
from
the
passage
that
A.
Miss
Cassandra
Austen
made
an
attempt
to
maintain
a
good
name
for
Austen.
B.
Austen'
s
work
brought
her
sister
much
personal
fame
and
many
positive
reviews..
C.
A
Janeite
fan
culture
came
into
being
during
Austen'
s
lifetime.
D.Austen
's
sister
burned
every
letter
and
achieved
her
purpose.
C
Simply
put,
cloud
computing
is
the
delivery
of
computing
services
over
the
Internet
(“the
cloud”＇）
to
offer
faster
innovation,
flexible
materials,
and
economies
of
scale.
You
typically
pay
only
for
cloud
services
you
use,
helping
lower
your
operating
costs,run
your
infrastructure
more
efficiently
and
scale(改变大小）as
your
business
needs
change.
Cloud
computing
is
a
big
shift
from
the
traditional
way
businesses
think
about
IT
resources.
Here
are
some
common
reasons
organizations
are
turning
to
cloud
computing
services:
Cloud
computing
eliminates
the
costs
of
buying
hardware
and
software
and
setting
up
and
running
on-site
data
centers.
Most
cloud
computing
services
are
provided
self
service
and
on
demand,
so
even
vast
amounts
of
computing
resources
can
be
provided
in
minutes,
typically
with
just
a
few
mouse
clicks,giving
businesses
a
lot
of
flexibility
and
taking
the
pressure
off
capacity
planning
Cloud
computing
removes
the
need
for
many
of
these
tasks
like
hardware
setup,
software
patching,
and
other
time-consuming
IT
management
chores,so
IT
teams
can
spend
time
on
achieving
more
important
business
goals.
The
biggest
cloud
computing
services
run
on
a
worldwide
network
of
secure
datacenters,
which
are
regularly
upgraded
to
the
latest
generation
of
fast
and
efficient
computing
hardware.
Cloud
computing
makes
data
backup,
disaster
recovery
and
business
continuity
easier
and
less
expensive.
Many
cloud
providers
offer
a
broad
set
of
policies,technologies
and
controls
that
strengthen
your
security
posture
overall,
helping
protect
your
data,
apps
and
infrastructure
from
potential
threats.
28.

article
about
cloud
computing?
A.
It
works
in
the
traditional
way
businesses
think
about
it.
B.
It
can
bring
about
flexibility
via
its
convenience
and
speed.
C.
It
requires
a
lot
of
hardware
setup,software

Misfortune
sneaked
into
my
family
when
I
was
thirteen.
First,
my
mother
fell
ill
and
was
hospitalized;
then
my
father,
in
poor
health
himself,
was
filled
with
anxiety
and
worry.
Both
had
to
stay
in
the
hospital,
leaving
my
younger
sister
and
me
alone
at
home.
As
the
sun
set
in
the
west,
fear
rose
in
my
heart.In
the
dim
of
night,the
hills
beyond
the
village
loomed
in
a
ghostly
shape
on
the
windows
of
our
spacious
room;
the
frightening
howls
of
wolves
often
scared
us
out
of
our
sleep.
Our
cries
for
help
were
unlikely
to
reach
the
villagers,
for
our
home
was
located
in
the
school
some
distance
away
from
the
village.
Suddenly
I
thought
of
the
whistle
my
mother
used
for
PE
classes.
I
took
out
the
whistle
and,
drawing
a
deep
breath,I
blew
it
as
loudly
as
possible.
Before
long,a
bustle
of
footsteps
and
voices
came
nearer
and
nearer,and
flashlight
beams
crisscrossed
outside
our
windows.
Hearing
my
name
called,I
went
to
open
the
door,
and
there
in
front
of
me
stood
a
group
of
familiar
villagers,
each
with
a
hoe
on
the
shoulder.
The
very
sight
of
their
kind
faces
and
deeply
concerned
eyes
drove
the
fear
away
from
my
heart.
“Now
go
to
sleep,
kid.
We
are
staying
out
here
tonight!”
said
one
old
man.
Resting
their
hoes
against
the
wall,
they
sat
or
squatted
nearby,smoking
Chinese
pipes
or
chatting
in
loud
voices....Gradually,I
fell
asleep.
They
didn't
leave
until
daybreak;
and
at
dusk
they
came
again,
banging
their
hoes
on
the
flagstones
as
if
to
tell
me:
Don't
be
afraid,
kid,we
are
here
with
you.
No
one
dares
to
hurt
you!
Afterwards,
the
bustle
of
footsteps
and
the
clatter
of
hoes
could
be
heard
every
night
around
our
home
as
if
on
schedule.
I
know
what
they
actually
meant
by
making
the
"noises"
was
to
remove
fear
from
my
mind
and
reassure
me:
they
were
right
outside
our
windows!
Ever
since
then,I
have
been
convinced
that
sound
has
"temperature"
and
that
it
can
warm
the
hearts
of
lonely,
fear-stricken
people.
32.Which
of
the
following
is
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.
The
"noises”made
by
villagers
outside
the
author's
windows
accompanied
the
writer
and
his
sister
to
sleep.
B.The
author's
home
was
far
away
from
the
village,
and
that's
why
he
didn't
dare
to
seek
help
from
villagers.
C.At
the
sight
of
villagers'
faces,the
author
still
felt
fearful
from
the
bottom
of
his
heart.
D.
The
author
was
left
alone
at
home
because
both
his
parents
fell
ill
and
were
in
hospital.
33.What's
the
probable
meaning

"loomed"
in
Paragraph
2?

Fermat's
Last
Theorem
Simon
Singh
In
1963a
schoolboy
called
Andrew
Wiles
reading
in
his
school
library
came
across
the
world's
greatest
mathematical
problem:Fermat's
Last
Theorem(定理）。First
put
forward
by
the
French
mathematician
Pierre
de
Fermat
in
the
seventeenth
century,
the
theorem
had
baffled
and
beaten
the
finest
mathematical
minds,
including
a
French
woman
scientist
who
made
a
major
advance
in
order
to
be
able
to
study
at
the
Ecole
Polytechnique.
Through
unbelievable
determination
Andrew
Wiles
finally
worked
out
the
problem
in
1995.
An
unusual
story
of
human
effort
over
three
centuries,Fermat's
Last
Theorem
will
delight

Not

people
can
say
that
they

totally
different
environments,
and
technically
neither
can
I.
I
have
lived
in
the
same
house
in
the
same
Connecticut
town
my
whole
life,
but
a
lot
of
my
childhood
and
teenage
years
have
been
spent
visiting
my
family
in
New
York
City.
Wethersfield
is
a
typical
New
England
town,a
small
close
community(社区）where
almost
everyone
knows
your
name.
My
friends
all
go
to
the
same
high
school
and
my
parents
are
friendly
with
my
friends'
parents.
Most
of
my
friends
don't
realize
what
life
is
like
outside
this
little
town.
Maybe
every
so
often
a
few
take
a
day
trip
to
Manhattan
or
Boston,
but
none
really
knows
what
it's
like
to
live
in
an
urban
environment.
My
parents
are
both
from
New
York
City
and
since
they
have
siblings
and
friends
who
still
live
there,we
visit
a
lot.
From
an
early
age
I
have
been
exposed
to
urban
life.
Jeff,
one
of
my
cousins,lives
with
his
mother
in
a
one-bedroom
apartment
in
Brooklyn.
He
has
never
had
his
own
room
and
has
always
been
very
much
on
his
own.
I
don't
think
any
of
my
friends
could
understand
how
someone
could
live
like
that.
When
I
go
to
the
city,
I
see
things
I
would
never
see
in
my
hometown.
I
see
poverty
and
people
struggling
to
make
a
living.
I
observe
a
whole
different
pace;
there,
you're
just
one
guy
living
with
millions
of
others
who
will
never
know
your
name.
I
feel
blessed
to
have
experienced
the
lifestyles
of
two
completely
different
places.
I
am
grateful
for
the
opportunities
I
have
had.I
feel
that
living
in
Wethersfield
has
given
me
a
solid
base
in
forming
my
character
and
the
ability
to
deal
in
a
close-knit
society.
On
the
other
hand,
my
time
spent
in
New
York
has
exposed
me
to
diverse
cultural
experiences.I
feel
that
I
would
be
comfortable
in
any
environment
and
could
make
the
best
of
any
situation.

as
social
beings,
they
have
little
instinct(本能）to
help
one
another.
Chimps
in
the
wild
seek
food
for
themselves.
Even
chimp
mothers
regularly
decline
to
share
food
with
their
children.
who
are
able
from
a
young
age
to
gather
their
own
food.
In
the
laboratory,chimps
don't
naturally
share
food
either.
If
a
chimp
is
put
in
a
cage
where
he
can
pull
in
one
plate
of
food
for
himself
or,with
no
great
effort,
a
plate
that
also
provides
food
for
a
neighbor
to
the
next
cage,
he
will
pull
at
random
-
-
-
he
just
doesn't
care
whether
his
neighbor
gets
fed
or
not.
Chimps
are
truly
selfish.
Human
children,on
the
other
hand
are
extremely
cooperative.
From
the
earliest
ages,
they
decide
to
help
others,
to
share
information
and
to
participate
in
achieving
common
goals.
The
psychologist
Michael
Tomasello
has
studied
this
cooperativeness
in
a
series
of
experiments
with
very
young
children.
He
finds
that
if
babies
aged
18months
see
an
unrelated
adult
with
hands
full
trying
to
open
a
door,almost
all
will
immediately
try
to
help.
There
are
several
reasons
to
believe
that
the
urges
to
help,
inform
and
share
are
not
taught.
but
naturally
possessed
in
young
children.
One
is
that
these
instincts
appear
at
a
very
young
age
before
most
parents
have
started
to
train
children
to
behave
socially.
Another
is
that
the
helping
behaviors
are
not
improved
if
the
children
are
rewarded.
A
third
reason
is
that
social
intelligence
develops
in
children
before
their
general
cognitive(认知的）skills,at
least
when
compared
with
chimps.In
tests
conducted
by
Tomtasell,the
children
did
no
better
than
the
chimps
on
the
physical
world
tests,
but
were
considerably
better
at
understanding
the
social
world
The
core
of
what
children's
minds
have
and
chimps'
don't
is
what
Tomasello
calls
shared
intentionality.Part
of
this
ability
is
that
they
can
infer
what
others
know
or
are
thinking.
But
beyond
that,even
very
young
children
want
to
be
part
of
a
shared
purpose.
They
actively
seek
to
be
part
of
a"we",
a
group
that
intends
to
work
toward
a
shared
goal.
28.What
can
we
learn
from
the
experiment
with
chimps
?
A.
Chimps
seldom
care
about
others'
interests.
B.
Chimps
tend
to
provide
food
for
their
children.
C.
Chimps
like
to
take
in
their
neighbors
'food.
D.
Chimps
naturally
share
food
with
each
other.
29.Michael
Tomasello's
tests
on
young
children
indicate
that
they_
A.
have
the
instinct
to
help
others
B.
know
how
to
offer
help
to
adults
C.
know

Jane
Austen
began
her
second
novel,
Pride
and
prejudice,
before
she
was
twenty-one.
It
was
originally
titled
First
Impression
because
the
appearances
of
the
characters
created
the
plot
of
the
novel.
However,
because
the
novel
is
also
concerned
with
effects
of
the
characters'
first
impressions,which
is
their
prejudice.
Austen
found
the
title
Pride
and
Prejudice
more
suitable.
The
tone
of
the
novel
is
light,and
satirical(讽刺）。Scenes
such
as
Mr.Collin's
proposal(求婚）to
Elizabeth,and
Lady
Catherine's
visits
to
Lizzy
at
Long
bourn,
provide
humorous
relief
to
the
readers
while
at
the
same
tie
showing
certain
traits(个性）of
the
characters.
For
example,
Lydia'
s
lack
of
common
sense
and
responsibility
is
showed
when
she
takes
pride
in
being
the
First
Bennet
girl
to
be
married.
Elizabeth
Bennet's
ability
to
laugh
off
er
bad
luck
and
to
continue
to
e
cheerful
also
contributes
to
the
tone
of
the
novel.
As
a
result,the
mood
of
the
novel
lacks
dramatic
emotions.
The
atmosphere
is
cold;
there
are
little
description
of
the
setting.
The
man
actions
of
the
novel
are
the
interactions
between
opinions,
ideas,and
attitudes,which
advances
the
plot
of
the
novel.
The
emotions
in
the
novel
are
to
be
considered
beneath
the
surface
of
the
story
and
not
to
be
expressed
to
the
readers
directly.
＂It
is
a
truth
universally
believed,
that
a
single
man
in
possession
of
a
good
fortune,must
be
in
want
of
a
wife."In
this
statement,
Austin
has
cleverly
done
three
things:
she
has
declared
that
the
main
subject
of
the
novel
will
be
marriage,
she
has
recognized
the
humorous
tone
of
the
novel
by
taking
a
simple
subject
to
speak
intelligently
of,
and
she
has
prepared
the
reader
for
chase
in
the
novel
of
either
a
husband
in
search
of
a
wife,or
a
woman
in
pursuit
of
a
husband.

cooperative.
From
the
earliest

Dear
John,
You
must
accept
my
apologies,John,for
not
having
written
sooner
but
we
were
just
so
busy
over
the
Christmas
and
New
Year
season.
Firstly,I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
kids'
Christmas
presents.
They
were
thrilled
with
them
and
could
hardly
wait
to
open
them.
Secondly,thank
you
ever
so
much
for
the
beautiful
calendar.
The
scenes
are
very
beautiful
and
we
cannot
get
over
the
peaky
mountains.
We
now
have
a
new
addition
to
our
family.
Our
new
daughter
arrived
nine
days
early
on
2nd
February.
We
have
decided
to
call
her
Nicole
Alison
and
all
is
well.
I'm
having
a
lovely
rest
here
in
the
Forbes
hospital,but
I'm
to
go
home
in
a
couple
of
days.
Stephen
was
disappointed
he
didn't
get
a
brother,but
he
doesn't
seem
to
mind
now.
Monica
of
course
just
adores
the
baby
and
I
feel
she'll
be
trying
to
mother
her
all
the
time.
Tom
and
Mary
were
thrilled.
I
guess
there
will
be
great
excitement
when
we
go
home.
Well,John,I
must
finish
now.
You
will
now
have
an
excuse
to
come
and
see
us
again
and
meet
the
new
member
of
the
family.
You
should
know
by
now
that
you
are
welcome
any
time
because
we
enjoy
having
you.
All
the
very
best
and
thank
you
again
for
your
lovely
gifts.
With
best
wishes
Ted
&
Julia

She

because

B
It
had
been
a
year
since
Susan,thirty-four,became
blind.
As
a
result
of
medical
accident,she
was
sightless.
All
she
had
to
depend
on
was
her
husband
Mark.
Mark
was
an
air-force
officer
and
he
loved
Susan
with
all
his
heart.
When
she
first
lost
sight,
he
decided
to
use
every
method
to
help
his
wife.
Finally,Susan
felt
ready
to
return
to
her
job,but
now
would
she
get
there?
She
used
to
take
the
bus,but
she
was
now
too
frightened
to
go
to
work
by
herself.
Mark
suggested
riding
the
bus
with
Susan
each
morning
and
evening.
For
two
weeks,Mark,in
military
uniform(军装），rode
the
bus
with
Susan
to
and
from
work
each
day.
He
taught
her
to
rely
on
her
other
senses,especially
her
hearing.He
helped
her
make
friends
with
the
bus
drivers
who
could
watch
out
for
her
and
save
her
a
seat.
Each
morning
they
made
the
journey
together,
and
Mark
would
take
a
taxi
back
to
his
office,
although
that
meant
he
had
to
travel
through
the
city.
Mark
knew
it
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
Susan
would
be
able
to
ride
the
bus
on
her
own.
He
believed
in
her.
Finally,Susan
decided
that
she
was
ready
to
start
the
trip
on
her
own.
Monday
morning
arrived.
She
said
goodbye
and,
for
the
first
time,
they
went
their
separate
ways.
Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,
Thursday···Each
day
on
her
own
went
perfectly.
On
Friday
morning,Susan
took
the
bus
to
work
as
usual.
As
she
was
getting
off
the
bus,the
driver
said,"Miss,I
sure
envy
you."Susan
asked
the
driver
why.“
You
know,every
morning
for
the
past
week,a
fine-looking
gentleman
in
a
military
uniform
has
been
standing
across
the
corner
watching
you
when
you
get
off
the
bus.
He
makes
sure
you
cross
the
street
safely
and
he
watches
you
until
you
enter
your
office
building.
Then
he
blows
you
a
kiss,
gives
you
a
salute
and
walks
away.
You
are
one
lucky
lady,"the
bus
driver
said.
______She
was
so
lucky,for
he
had
given
her
a
gift
more
powerful
than
sight,
the
gift
of
love
that
can
bring
light
where
there
is
darkness.
25.Which
of
the
following
sentences
can
be
put
in
the
blank
of
the
last
paragraph?
A.Susan
was
angry
because
Mark
kept
the
secret
from
her.
B.Susan
was
disappointed
to
find
she
was
unable
to
succeed.
C.Tears
of
happiness
poured
down
Susan's
cheeks.
D.The
driver's
words
made
Susan
deeply
sad.
26:Why
did
Mark
stand
across
the
street
and
watch
Susan?
A.Because
he
loved
Susan
very
much
and
watched
out
for
her
safety.
B.Because
Susan
was
not
sure
of
herself
and
asked
for
his
help.
C.Because
he
wanted
to
show
others
that
he
was
a
good
husband.

he
had

to
do
every

after

Eight
Hundred《八佰》directed
by
Guan
Hu
is
attracting
a
lot
of
attention.
The
film
is
based
on
the
battle
of
Shanghai
in
1938
to
defend
the
Sihang
warehouse(仓库）
on
the
Suzhou
River.
The
movie
tells
the
story
of
the
"800
heroes”。
It
is
important
to
praise
heroes,
but
most
people
are
also
full
of
fear
of
war
and
death.
Some
people
will
run
away
from
death,
and
some
people
will
see
the
blood
and
grow
up
in
the
war.
In
this
way,
the
focus
on
small
people
will
be
closer
to
life,
so
that
the
viewers
can
keep
in
close
touch
with
the
film
and
also
feel
more
inspired
and
develop
the
feelings
of
love
for
our
country.
In
the
film,the
main
characters
are
a
group
of
men
who
have
been
taken
to
Sihang
warehouse.
Some
of
them
are
soldiers,some
are
deserters(擅离职守者），
and
some
are
just
farmers
who
have
been
caught
without
any
reason.
One
cannot
become
a
hero
overnight.
Duanwu
and
Xiao
Hubei
are
just
ordinary
people
who
follow
Lao
Hulu
into
the
city.
When
they
see
the
killing
of
Lao
Hulu
by
the
Japanese,
their
personal
journey
begins.
Duanwu
and
Xiao
Hubei
both
grow
up
to
be
heroes
after
experiencing
a
lot
of
life
and
death.
After
seeing
Duanwu's
death,
Xiao
Hubei
chooses
to
stay.
Even
more,
in
the
movement
of
protecting
the
flag,
the
deserter
team
becomes
the
flag
team.
This
scene
attracts
people's
attention.
It
tries
its
best
to
protect
the
flag,showing
people's
love
for
their
country.
The
Eight
Hundred
is
based
on
the
historical
real
event,
which
lets
us
feel
cruelty
of
the
war
once
again
and
that
life
is
powerless
in
the
face
of
the
war.
But
because
of
this,“800
heroes”
shocks
everyone's
heart
and
wakes
up
the
Chinese
people.

How
are
you
feeling
today?
Often
when
we
ask
people
that
question,
they
reply
“not
bad”。
But
what
would
make
us
feel
"perfect"?
Maybe
we
could
live
better
by
being
healthier-but
how?
Of
course
there
are
many
solutions
to
improving
our
mental
health,
but
sometimes
there
are
small
and
simple
methods
of
helping
improve
our
well
-
being.
It'
s
something
the
BBC
TV
programme
Easy
Ways
to
Live
Well
has
been
looking
at.
It
suggested
several
methods.
And
maybe
they
could
help
us
too.
Firstly,
to
stop
putting
on
weight
and
to
cut
the
calories,
the
programme
found
that
smelling
peppermint(薄荷）
helps.
Presenter,
chef
and
writer
Hugh
Feamley-Whittingstall
says
a
scientific
theory
shows
that
a
strong
smell
can
prevent
our
brain
from
thinking
about
the
food.
If
your
addiction
to
your
smart
phone
is
getting
you
down,
it's
suggested
that
turning
your
phone
screen
grey
help
you
reduce
screen
time
because
a
black
and
white
screen
becomes
less
attractive
to
look
at.
With
recent
studies
showing
our
phones
can
increase
our
stress
,
it
seems
like
a
no
-
brainer
to
try
this
“colorless"
idea.
Try
a
swim
in
ice-cold
water?
Well,the
BBC
programme
found
a
daily
swim
in
freezing
water
gets
you
used
to
the
stress
of
doing
it
and
therefore
prepares
you
for
other
life
stresses.
And
another
way
to
＂calm
down"is
to
leave
your
smart
phone
at
home,
walk
in
a
forest,
and
breathe
in
the
fresh
air.
Other
life
-
improving
ideas
include
things
such
as
singing
to
reduce
pain
and
doing
more
exercise
to
get
away
from
our
immovable
lives.
But
whatever
ways
we
choose,
it
seems
that
any
change
to
our
lifestyle
can
help
improve
our
body
and
mind.
32.
What
can
we
lean
from
the
text?
A.
The
simple
methods
suggested
in
the
programme
don't
work.
B.
Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall
is
a
presenter,
a
chef
and
a
writer.
C.
Spending
much
time
on
smart
phones
can
reduce
your
stress.
D.
Staying
immovable
can
be
of
great
use
to
our
body
and
mind.
33.
Why
does
the
author
speak
of
the
BBC
TV
programme?
A.
To
suggest
the
programme
is
better.
B.
To
prove

methods
can
be
helpful.

To
improve
our
mental
health.

My
First
Marathon
A
month
before
my
first
marathon(马拉松），one
of
my
ankles
was
injured
and
this
meant
not
running
for
two
weeks,
leaving
me
only
two
weeks
to
train.
Yet,I
was
determined
to
go
ahead.
I
remember
back
to
my
7th
year
in
school.
In
my
first
P.E.
class,the
teacher
required
us
to
run
laps
and
then
hit
a
softball.
I
didn't
do
either
well.
He
later
informed
me
that
I
was
"not
athletic".
The
idea
that
I
was
"not
athletic"stuck
with
me
for
years.
When
I
started
running
in
my
30s,I
realized
running
was
a
battle
against
myself,
not
about
competition
or
whether
or
not
I
was
athletic.
It
was
all
about
the
battle
against
my
own
body
and
mind.A
test
of
wills!
The
night
before
my
marathon,I
dreamt
that
I
couldn't
even
find
the
finish
line.
I
woke
up
sweating
and
nervous,
but
ready
to
prove
something
to
myself.
Shortly
after
crossing
the
start
line,my
shoe
laces(鞋带）
became
untied.
So
I
stopped
to
readjust.
Not
the
start
I
wanted!
At
mile
3,I
passed
a
sign:"GO
FOR
IT,RUNNERS!"
By
mile
17,I
became
out
of
breath
and
the
once
injured
ankle
hurt
badly.
Despite
the
pain,I
stayed
the
course
walking
a
bit
and
then
running
again.
By
mile
21,I
was
starving!
As
I
approached
mile
23,I
could
see
my
wife
waving
a
sign.
She
is
my
biggest
fan.
She
never
minded
the
alarm
clock
sounding
at
4
a.m.
or
questioned
my
expenses
on
running.
I
was
one
of
the
final
runners
to
finish.
But
I
finished!
And
I
got
a
medal.
In
fact,
I
got
the
same
medal
as
the
one
that
the
guy
who
came
in
first
place
had.
Determined
to
be
myself,
move
forward,
free
of
shame
and
worldly
labels(世俗标签），I
can
now
call
myself
a
"marathon
winner".

marathon,

A.

C
Can
any
travel
be
greener
than
traveling
by
bike?
We
hear
a
lot
about
various
methods
of＂green"
travel,but
we
don't
hear
much
about
traveling
in
a
way
to
nearly
clear
our
carbon
footprint
altogether.
Traveling
by
bicycle
is
one
of
the
few
methods
of
travel
that
allow
a
deep
relationship
with
Mother
Nature.
Bicycles
use
no
fuel,and
are
easy
on
the
ground
we
pass
over,but
the
best
part
of
traveling
by
bicycle
is
the
opportunity
to
get
to
know
the
earth
and
her
people
in
a
much
better
manner
than
any
other
vehicle
can
allow.
My
family
and
I
traveled
southward
from
Alaska.
We
went
over
the
mountain,sailed
through
valleys,and
woke
up
finding
snow
covering
our
tent.
We
rode
through
deserts
and
rain
forests.
Children
climbed
trees
and
tasted
fruits
they
had
never
heard
of.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
get
to
know
people.
There
is
something
about
a
bike
that
draws
people
closer
and
encourages
them
to
show
their
kindness.
It
might
be
something
simple
like
handing
us
a
bag
of
apples
or
tomatoes,
or
it
might
be
as
complex
as
hiding
drinks
along
the
highway,
but
all
added
magic
to
our
lives.
I
can
tell
many
stories
about
the
people
we've
met.
About
the
woman
in
Oregon
who
handed
us
the
keys
to
her
house
and
said,“Go
to
my
house
and
make
yourselves
at
home.
I'll
be
here
in
a
few
hours."
She
didn't
even
know
our
names,
but
showed
her
support
and
encouragement
to
us.
Or
the
man
who
cycled
up
to
where
we
were
eating
cheese
and
cookies
in
a
park
and
invited
us
to
his
home
for
a
warm
dinner
and
a
soft
bed
for
the
night.
One
day
in
Mexico
we
ended
up
in
a
migrant
workers'
camp,
and
our
boys
played
with
some
of
the
poorest
kids
in
the
country.
Another
day,we
were
invited
to
stay
with
a
very
rich
family.
Young
couples
and
old.
Rich
and
poor.
White,black,
and
brown.
All
made
our
travel
experience
wonderful.
I'm
convinced
traveling
by
bike
is
the
best
way
to
see
the
world.
It
allows
us
to
gain
a
much
deeper
respect
for
Mother
Nature
and
local
people
that
we
could
not
gain
in
any
other
manner.

We
may
think
we're
a
culture
that
gets
rid
of
our
worn
technology
at
the
first
sight
of
something
shiny
and
new,but
a
new
study
shows
that
we
keep
using
our
old
devices(装置）well
after
they
go
out
of
style.
That's
bad
news
for
the
environment-and
our
wallets-as
these
outdated
devices
consume
much
more
energy
than
the
newer
ones
that
do
the
same
things.
To
figure
out
how
much
power
these
devices
are
using,
Callie
Babbitt
and
her
colleagues
at
the
Rochester
Institute
of
Technology
in
New
York
tracked
the
environmental
costs
for
each
product
throughout
its
life
-from
when
its
minerals
are
mined
to
when
we
stop
using
the
device.
This
method
provided
a
readout
for
how
home
energy
use
has
evolved
since
the
early
1990s.
Devices
were
grouped
by
generation.
Desktop
computers,basic
mobile
phones,and
box-set
TVs
defined
1992.Digital
cameras
arrived
on
the
scene
in
1997.And
MP3
players,
smart
phones,and
LCD
TVs
entered
homes
in
2002,
before
tablets
and
e-readers
showed
up
in
2007.
As
we
accumulated
more
devices,
however,
we
didn't
throw
out
our
old
ones."The
living-room
television
is
replaced
and
gets
planted
in
the
kids'
room,
and
suddenly
one
day,
you
have
a
TV
in
every
room
of
the
house,"
said
one
researcher.
The
average
number
of
electronic
devices
rose
from
four
per
household
in
1992
to
13
in
2007.
We're
not
just
keeping
these
old
devices-we
continue
to
use
them.According
to
the
analysis
of
Babbitt'
s
team,
old
desktop
monitors
and
box
TVs
with
cathode
ray
tubes
are
the
worst
devices
with
their
energy
consumption
and
contribution
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions(排放）more
than
doubling
during
the
1992
to
2007
window.
So
what's
the
solution?
The
team's
data
only
went
up
to
2007,but
the
researchers
also
explored
what
would
happen
if
consumers
replaced
old
