have our ways of marking time.My life is measured by taking pictures from one story to the next.My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about endangered animals.My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.It's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best,though.It was the story about the loss of wild land,during which my wife Kathy got cancer.That's the one that made time stand still.With anxiety,I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor（肿瘤）.Cruelly,it was Thanksgiving Day.Early examination saves time.But ours was not early.By the time you can feel it yourself,it's often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.Cancer is a thief.It steals time.Our days are already short with worry.Then comes this terrible disease,unfair as storm at harvest time.But cancer also has the power to change us,for good.We learn to simplify it,enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't.Cancer even makes me a better father.My work has made me a stranger to my three kids.But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race.This is a new way of life and a new way of seeing,all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time.We have less of it than we can possibly imagine.And even though it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread,and her prognosis（预断）is good.We try tomake it all count now,enjoying every part of every day.I've picked up my camera again.I watch the sky,searching for beautiful light.When winter storms come,Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes（雪花）on our tongues.After all,this is good.This is what we're living for.24.What is the writer?A.A sponsor.B.A doctor.C.A photographer.D.A director.25.How did the writer feel after knowing Kathy's

a different way of life.CIf you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day,think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year,a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most,with the average female putting on 61b 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 51b 20z.The report into our eating habits found that,on average,we eat at least two snacks a day,with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men,with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research,by The Village Bakery,found biscuits are the most common vice,with 42 percent regularly opening a pack,closely followed by chocolate (38 percent),crisps (32 percent) and cakes (13 percent).And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition,33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon,of The Village Bakery,said:"We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which 'quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general well-being.Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such as biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories,fat and full of sugar,all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain."The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying, compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately,it's as if we are not likely to doanything positive to counteract the sweet treats.28.According to the passage,women usually put weight on first______.A.on the faceB.on the legsC.on the feetD.in the middle29.What's the main reason of eating snacks in the office?A.Colleagues eat them to save money.B.Staff use them to cope with their lunches.C.Colleagues often bring them to office.D.Bosses invite staff to eat them.30.Why do office workers eat a "quick fix" lunch?A.Because it has much of nutrition.B.Because it has little effect on weight gain.C.Because it has little effect on general well-being.D.Because they have a short time to have their lunches.31.It can be inferred that British women are______.A.less likely to lie on snacks than menB.more likely to lie on snacks than menC.more ashamed of eating snacks than menD.less ashamed of eating snacks than menDWhenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there's a natural impulse to catch and own it—which means, in this day and age,that we can't help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, we're likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw.He argued that humans have a born tendency（倾向）to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin's eyes, there's one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting things we see,and it doesn't matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only "artists" would ever do,so Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly（心不在焉地）.When describing what lies before our eyes with our own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.32.What does the underlined word "impulse" mean?A.Interest.B.Urge.C.Habit.D.Reaction.33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.An effective solution to storing something nice.B.Reasons for taking pictures in the first place.C.Problems related with taking photos.D.Methods of storing pictures in phones.34.It can be inferred that John Ruskin______.A.lived at the origin of photographyB.lived at the origin of drawingC.studied the history of photographyD.was an English literature critic35.How did John Ruskin advise us to remember our travel?A.By taking photographs.B.By buying meaningful souvenirs.C.By writing some travel notes.D.By trying drawing what we see.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。
