A.It’s official. Denmark—as well as being the world’s best country to live in for women with the second-happiest people and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe—has the most contented babies. Or, at least, the ones who cry the least. According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics, Danish, German and Japanese babies cry the least, while British, Canadian and Italian babies cry the most.“I’m not surprised,” Danish parenting expert and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Jessica Alexander tells me. “The first year of a child’s life is considered so important in Denmark Danish parents are much less stressed because they get good maternity and paternity leave(孕产假). The atmosphere is much calmer and, if mothers are getting more time off, that goes hand in hand with less stress, more contact, more routines and less crying.” She paused before throwing in a final tip: “Oh, and Danish babies sleep outdoors a lot.”In Denmark, a woman is given four weeks pregnancy leave followed by 52 weeks of paid leave that can be shared between parents. And Alexander thinks there is another important reason why Danish babies cry less: breastfeeding. “It’s just the done thing in Denmark,”she says of a country that has the world’s highest breastfeeding rates. “In others countries, there are continual discussions about whether you shouldor shouldn’t breastfeed. In Denmark, breastfeeding has never gone out of style. And everyone does it for a year.”For Iben Ssandahl, Alexander’s co-author, it comes down to the Danish attitude to life in general. “We are honest and pure people,”she tells me. “We are surrounded by social support and are less likely to become angry, sad or annoyed when our babies are crying. And we are good at embracing(拥抱) all kinds of feelings, so we aren’t scared. Instead, we try to connect with the babies when they cry. It’s how babies communicate and it’s about trying to understand it.”21. Which of the following can make a baby cry less?A. An effective healthcare system.B. More company from a parent.C. An energetic busy mother.D. More chances to meet fellow babies.22. It can be learned from the text that ________.A. something in the milk from breastfeeding can keep babies happy.B. Denmark is second to none in protecting its female’s rights.C. Danish parents’ attitudes to a baby’s first year vary considerably.D. Breastfeeding is a common and accepted practice in Denmark.23. When babies cry, Danish parents will probably _________.A. try to figure out what they wantB. put them outdoors for a good sleepC. seek social support for guidanceD. wait a moment for them to calm down.B.I had prided myself on being unattached to any device before I got a smart phone.It's not a very fancy smart phone, but I was lost. It was used during commercial breaks, the line at the bank, the three minutes it takes the popcorn to pop...I broke the most sacred technology rule I had with my kids --- not in the bedroom.I didn't just take my smart phone in the bedroom. I charged it there.Soon, that device was the first thing that I grabbed after waking --- checking the weather, the news, my email, my messages, all before going to the bedroom or letting out the dog.Eventually, it moved from my purse to my pocket. I knew its weight and I knew when it was missing.There is a lot of downtime as a parent. I used to keep a book with me for these times; now I keep the smart phone. I opened apps without conscious thought --- tap, tap, refresh, refresh ....Even looking up when I was watching a game on a sports field became a challenge.Recently, I was waiting for my younger child's soccer game to start, trying to answer e-mails, text my husband, and update a website. The phone lost its signals before my updating the website.I drove home and made a beeline for the laptop. My oldest child sat across from me.I asked the standard Mom-question half-heartedly, half-listening as she responded. She was talking about some music opportunity, something she was excited about. I glanced up from my screen and saw her looking right at me.I started apologizing, but she smiled: "My friends are much better at multitaskingonline." Ouch!The next morning, I did something that was more painful than I'd like to admit.I deleted all the apps. When I finished, my smart phone was just a phone again. Something I could forget in the car, or at the bedroom.Hopefully, I still remember how to live.24. When did the writer find she should break away from the smart phone?A. Not until her opening apps became a challenge.B. Not until her phone lost signals on the sports field.C. Not until she left the smart phone in the car again.D. Not until her daughter reminded her in a humorous way.25. What is the writer's purpose of writing the story?A. To share with readers an exciting experience.B. To encourage herself to make good use of apps.C. To remind people to learn to use devices properly.D. To persuade teenagers to get away from smart phones.26. To support her idea, the author develops the text mainly by ________.A. using idiomsB. making comparisonsC. listing reasonsD. presenting statisticsC.It is made from grapes grown without pesticides(杀虫剂) and chemicals, is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers(酒后头痛). Sales of organic wine are booming in the UK.According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly $6 million, driven by the demand from consumers(消费者) who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food. Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.”said Finn Cottle of Soil Association. As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide(二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for. Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits.The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green” wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates. Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rose recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rose wine at the competition. A spokeswoman for Waitrose said: “Organic wine is a growing trend(趋势) globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year.”27. Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because ___________.A. consumers are now more environmentally awareB. it offers a very different taste from traditional wineC. consumers are tired of hangovers after drinkingD. it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide28. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?A. UK supermarkets welcome organic wine and spirits.B. Online shopping promotes(促进) the sales of organic wine.C.

The writing purpose of the text is to ___________.A. persuade readers to go green while drinkingB. compare organic wine and traditional wineC. share with readers wines without hangoversD. introduce a new consuming trend in the UK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，有两项为多余选项。
