My dream job would be to become an astronaut．My passion for space is all unbearable feeling that lies deep inside my heart．The mysteries that have been asked by millions of people have not yet been answered by NASA because of technology．Later on in the future，technology will be advanced and there will be answers to questions．I would like to be that one person to look down at young children and answer all their doubts over space．

Gemma Mandujano，Weslaco High School My dream job is to be a professional photographer．I remember when I was 8 years old，I’d always steal my mothers’camera and take pictures of nature and life in general，and spend hours concocting the perfect moment to take pictures．To be a

photographer，you must have the three P’s：patience，passion，and perfection．I would love to be a celebrated photographer，not for the fame，but for the recognition of capturing people’s most cherished moments to preserve them for a life time．

The noble tree house—all natural materials，solid construction，away from the troubles of the world．In a more dangerous time in human history，their position above the ground would protect the dweller(居民)against environmental difficulties and possible predators(掠夺者)．As modern construction has improved，these woody residences have become less of a practical dwelling and more of a children’s

novelty．But now，these fun shelters are appealing to adults too and many are booking themselves in for a few nights among the treetops．

These tree house hotels can be found From Europe to Australia．Best of all，they come in a variety of interesting designs!From the traditional‘four walls and a roof’habitation，such as at TreeHouse Point，in Washington，North America，to the more artistic Nothofagus Hotel in Chilean Patagonia，whose twelve-sided walls make it look like a beehive．If that doesn’t appeal，how about a tree hut?

The Free Spirit Spheres resort on Vancouver Island in Canada allows guests to stay in one of three yellow spheres(球体)，which hang from trees．The company was founded in 1998 by Tom Chudleigh，who hand built the huts from cedar wood and fiber glass．Not only are they as safe as houses，they’re popular!Mr Chudleigh tells the BBC．

Digs(借宿的地方)which are original seem to be a big draw．In Sweden，at the Treehotel numbers have also risen．“Today we have seven rooms and nearly 5,000 guests，”Kent Lindvall explains．Each of the houses there was designed to make use of the light and surroundings．

And how about an office?Microsoft，hoping to give its employees thinking space，has commissioned(委托)a tree-building structure from Pete Nelson，tree house book author and designer and builder of tree houses．“Studies show people can work better in nature．They are more productive，”says Mr Nelson．

24．What is the text mainly about?

A．The designs of the tree house hotels．

B．The function of the tree houses．

C．The trend for tree houses．

D．The future development of houses．

25．Why have tree houses become fun shelters?

C．There are no places of amusement for children．

D．Their construction have gotten modernized．

26．For what purpose has Microsoft built a tree house structure?

A．To help its employees work efficiently．．

B．To provide its workers with break residences．

C．To offer its workers living convenience．

D．To give people space to make friends．

27．What can we infer from the text?

C．Kent Lindvall have made hand—built tree houses．

D．Tree house hotels in Sweden seem to succeed.

Cafes are everywhere these days，offering as many varieties of coffee as there are ways to have it served．And this leads to a range of prices，from cheap grab —and—go coffee，to the ultra—expensive artisanal coffee(匠人咖啡)．However，an increasing number of Western consumers are happy to pay a little more for their cup in order to ensure that it comes from an ethically(道德地)produced and sustainable source．

At The Attendant，a cafe in east London，staff attempt to make customers aware of the story of the beans that they are drinking and the impact they are having by choosing to drink ethically．For a start，it can make coffee farmers better off，according to figures from the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization(Wipo)．Ryan de Oliveria，The Attendant’s co-founder and chief executive，says the extra income allows farmers and their families to have a better quality of life．It also makes investing or reinvesting in their business possible．Wipo’s figures show smarter processing，branding and marketing make a huge difference to the growers and their communities．Technology now means that the beans can be tracked all the way from the farm to the cup．The research shows that for a pound(454g)of beans going to a supermarket，the export price is$1．45．Most of this goes to the farmer．The price almost doubles when the beans are he aded for large western coffee chains．But farmers exporting their beans to artisanal cafes make over

$5 per pound．That’s because the coffee addicts who frequent these places are happy to pay more．

It seems that it’s a win—win situation for the farmers，cafes and consumers．So much so that more established coffee businesses are jumping on the band wagon by buying up(并购)artisanal rivals who have already accepted this way of doing things．If that’s the case，then the future of coffee production looks a little fairer for a11．28．What does paragraph 1 focus on?

A．The varieties of coffee．

B．The range of coffee prices．

C．The popularity of artisanal coffee．

D．The reason for customers to pay more for coffee．

29．Where can you find the data that best support “growing artisanal coffee is beneficial”?

A．In paragraph 1．B．In paragraph 2．

C．In paragraph 3．D．In paragraph 4．

30．What do the words“jumping on the band wagon”in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Making a large profit．B．Following the general trend．

C．Gaining a good reputation．D．Avoiding the fierce competition．31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To advocate ethical coffee．B．To advertise coffee business．

C．To help customers to save money．D．To introduce the art of processing coffee．

D

“Kids these days，eh?”Three simple words that try to summarize many a misunderstanding across a generational divide．On one side，the older generation —conservative，oppressive and out of fashion．On the other，the younger generation-rebellious，ignorant and disobedient，and lacking in self-contro1．Or at least that’s what popular stereotypes(固定印象)would have us believe．That said，every generation is different in one way or another to the next．But if recent figures are anything to go by，adolescents may actually be improving upon their elders’

behaviour．

British 16-24 year olds are drinking less alcohol and smoking less，according to a recent report from the UK Office for National Statistics．From 2005 to 2017 the number of British adolescents and young adults who had drunk alcohol the week prior to being interviewed declined from 60％to 50％．This is minored by their consumption of cigarettes，which dropped from 28．5％to 19．9％for the same period．One possible reason for this youth’s wisdom could lie in the cultural shift away from these behaviours—something they can thank their ancestors for．Campaigns and adverts on the dangers of smoking and drinking have been going on．For example，the Department of Transport’s Think!campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of drink-driving，or the Department of Health’s Change4Life campaign promoting the benefits of healthy food and exercise．And while，for their predecessors(上一代人)these behaviours may have become deep-rooted，it seems young people are taking these messages to heart．

Another explanation could be based in youth’s natural delinquency．“Young people are rebelling against the older generations’chosen methods of rebellion,”says James Nicholls，Director of Research and Policy Development at Alcohol Research UK．In other words，if the older generation’s method of rebellion from their parents was to drink，smoke and act anti-socially，then their offspring’s is to refrain(克制)．Whether or not this will continue，only time will tell．As these under-25s go through life，they may resist their current trend，and turn to the behaviour of their ancestors．However，they may stick to their guns and continue to be sensible．32．How are younger generations described by popular stereotypes?

A．Ignorant and selfish．B．Conservative and oppressive.

C．Sensible and febellious．D．Rebellious and lacking in self-contro1．33．What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A．Culture has no influence on people．

B．People have been fighting for healthy life．

C．Young people are easy to accept the culture shift．

D．The older generations refuse to change their behaviors．

34．What’s the author’s attitude towards the youth’s rebellion? A．Disapproving．B．Supportive.

C．Uncaring．D．Doubtful．

35．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The generation gap B．The behaviors of ancestors

C．The culture shift D．The more sensible youth of today

Red can also make us appear more attractive to one another，which is why red lipstick is on billions of lips．

Keeping you healthy and calm
