Suddenly my attention was caught by a little girl.She was sitting all alone on a bench(长椅),as all the busy travelers rushed around her. She didn’t move.Most travelers were in such a big hurry that they didn’t notice her at all.I was one of the travelers but I couldn’t leave this little girl alone,who was no older than my own daughter.I didn’t see her parents anywhere.So I walked up to the girl.“Hello,”I said.“Are you all right?”The little girl didn’t even look up at me.I gently sat down next to her and touched her shoulder.The moment she lifted her head,I noticed that she was crying.I felt terrible!I held out my hand.The girl seemed afraid,but she took my hand and let me lead her to the bus station information desk with not clear words.I explained the situation to the security guard(保安).He then made an announcement(通知)over the speakers.“Attention,please!A young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk.If you are looking for your daughter,please come immediately!”A couple of minutes later,a woman came toward the desk.As soon as she saw the little girl,she shouted and ran up to her.She held her in her arms tightly,saying“I am here,Andrea. Everything is okay.I love you,honey.”Then she turned to me.“Thank you so much,sir,”she said.“We got separated in the crowd earlier.My daughter is deaf,so I didn’t make an announcement over the speakers for her.I was looking for her everywhere.I was so worried!”I understood why the little girl did not look at me until I touched her shoulder.I was happy that I offered a hand.It must have been very scary for little Andrea and her mother!I am a father.I know how important it’s to love and help all children.24.How did the man feel when he saw the little girl crying?A.Tired.B.Bored.C.Angry.D.Terrible.25.After talking with Andrea’s mother,the writer knew the reason why________.A.the security guard didn’t help him find the girlB.most travelers didn’t notice the little girl at allC.the mother didn’t wait for her daughter and leftD.the little girl didn’t look at him until he touched her26.What does the story tell us?A.The importance of giving care.B.The effects of separation.C.The meaning of a mother’s love.D.The ways of independence.While many people see chores as necessary pains,there are science-based reasons to change your thoughts about chores.It turns out that doing chores is not always in the ways that you might think.As researchers state here in a study,doing tasks which don’t need a lot of effort allows the mind to float around where it will.Your mind gets a break and allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.In fact,effortless tasks create more great ideas than difficult tasks or just resting.So,doing chores can lead to creative problem-solving.Chores are exercise snacks for health.The phrase“exercise snacks”refers to small,even tiny,pieces of physical activity,such as standing for a few minutes after sitting for a while, taking a two-minute walk,or doing a chore like sweeping up the kitchen.Researchers have studied the effects of exercise snacks ranging(范围)from30seconds,like walking up a flight of stairs,to10minutes,like washing dishes.Some of the health effects include improved memory,reduced risk of some serious diseases,and longer life.Chores are related to our mental(心理的)pleting chores increases your sense of self-efficacy,known as a person’s belief that they have the ability and skills to reach their goals.Self-efficacy,which was first developed by Professor Albert Bandura in the1970s, has been shown to increase confidence,low self-efficacy is connected with worries,sadness and hopelessness,while higher self-efficacy is connected with life satisfaction, self-confidence,social connection and growth mindset(思维).Doing chores can reduce stress.A small study from Florida State University explored whether the chore of dish washing could reduce ing a group of51students,they discovered that dishwashers who were asked to be mindful when washing dishes focusing on the smell of the soap,the warmth of the water,and the feel of the dishes—reported a decreaseD.To show us some possibilities created by improving resilience.五、阅读回答问题阅读表达In the1994film Forrest Gump,there’s a famous saying,“Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.”The surprise is part of the fun.Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside some common package,which cannot be seen from the outside.You don’t know what will be inside exactly,although the toys mostly come from pop culture,ranging a blind box from movies to cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in2014. According to a2019Tmall report,the mini-series of Labubu blind box was named Champion of Unit Sales with55,000sold in just9seconds during the Singles Day shopping event.Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged18to35.According to The Paper,blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances.The cute cartoon figurines(公仔,手办)come in small sizes,making them suitable to be presented on shelves.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations,the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people.It’s the most important reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,”said Miss Cao,24, who lives and works in Shenyang.Speaking to Sina News,she said,“Until you open all the boxes,you cannot know what it is inside.”However,someone gives a different voice.“With blind boxes,I never know exactly what I’ll get.I would feel disappointed if I didn’t get what I was hoping for or got the same one I already have,which was also a waste of money,”said Matthew,18,who studies in a senior high school.Love it or hate it,opening a blind box is a little surprise for our daily lives.When people六、电子邮件38.假定你是李华,你的英国笔友Chris正在安排他的暑假生活。

In 2010, his son, Saad, was born with a heart disease. Every time Mr. Khalid visited him in the hospital after his day shift(轮班), he would bring much 13 to drink during nights to take care of his son. He even gave some to the doctors and nurses there, who called him "coffee man".Last April, Saad died at 18 months old. Although Mr. Khalid was so sad, he had to 14 to work. After his son's death, he got into the habit of buying some sweets for his passengers, which nearly cost him $300 every month.From his experience in the hospital with his son, Mr. Khalid learned that giving to others could at least 15 his feeling of loss, if not heal it."I'd like to buy something for people; I feel 16 ," Mr. Khalid said. "When you give something from your hand, someone gives a smile to you in return.”Since then, he has become famous on the Internet. His kind behavior 17 a lot of customers, with more pickups from fans who send their positions to him on Twitter or Facebook.But he doesn't expect the 13,000 other yellow taxis to do the same. The $300 a month Mr. Khalid spends on candy would 18 help many people to support their families for a time. Actually, it is not a small sum."If you think about it, you will 19 why he does it, after all, you don't get that sort of kindness very often." said Juan Miranda, who drives Mr. Khalid's taxi during the nights."Everybody is sometimes unhappy and stressed. Living in New York City is not very easy, so when passengers see all the candies, chocolates, they will cheer up in a short time," Mr. Khalid explained.

Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family."I wish you a happy New Year." said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head."You are not from this country?" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if(好像)to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife.They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time."When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up."I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then." He went on, "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.""My dear boy," said his father, "Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-Year gift.""I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year."24.What did Edward expect to do with the money he got from his father?A.Help the poor family. B.Buy something to eat.C.Buy some pretty books. D.Learn another language.25.Why did the poor man shake his head when Edward spoke to him?A.He wouldn't accept the money. B.He couldn't understand the boy.C.He was too cold to say anything. D.He didn't like the boy's language. 26.According to the passage, we can know that Edward _______.A.got a prize for his kind heart B.had to buy his books next yearC.got more money from his father D.bought the books at the bookstoreParents of very young children know this:You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence(证据)of candy written on his or her face. However, the kid often gives a denial, "I didn't do it!"Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral(道德)development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.Early in 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong,such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing(承认错误)it. In each case, they asked the children, "How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?"The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four-to-five-year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely to think the child would feel better confessing the wrongdoing and that the parent would have positive(积极的)feelings towards a confessor.Smith says, "Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action." He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential(潜在的)mistakes carry greater risks, and part ofbeing a parent is reducing risk for our children.27.What does the expression "gives a denial," in Paragraph 1 mean?A.refuses to tell the truth B.decides to blame the parent C.prepares to accept the truth D.begins to shout at the parent 28.What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?A.Kids of all ages are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.B.Younger children would feel better confessing the wrongdoing.C.Older kids thought parents would be angry with their confessions.D.Older kids are more likely to confess to an act than younger children.29.What can we learn from the passage?A.It's easy for kids to confess their mistakes.B.Parents should at once punish the kids who lied.C.It takes time for children to learn to tell the truth.D.Parents should never get angry after kids' confessions.30.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why children like telling lies when they are young.B.How children feel when they confess their mistakes.C.Why parents must punish their children's wrong actions.D.How parents should treat their children when they make mistakes.I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the subject, let's take a look at three kinds of "waits".The very typical form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most boring of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池)as an example. There is completely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full. During these waits, the brain flies away from the body and has your head in the clouds unti l the water runs out of the sink and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires the waiter to do in a controlled way and follow the directions. Properly preparing noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very clear. "Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, cook it slowly forthree minutes, stop heating, let stand five minutes." I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the directions strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful kind of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This kind of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary(自愿的). Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one's life into a waiting game requires trust and hope, and is strictly for the optimists(乐观主义者)among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous(荒谬的)as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn't come to pass on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a lot of our time waiting. The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, be confident and patient. Good things come to those who wait, better things come to those who wait longer. You're probably just as busy as the next guy.31.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A.The Watched-Pot Wait connects body and brain. B.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions. D.The Forced Wait makes people active. 32.The writer probably agrees that _________.A.The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't give people faith and hope.B.Everyone really follows the directions during the Forced Wait.C.The Lucky-Break Wait doesn't always bring the expected result.D.The waiter doesn't need to do anything during the Watched-Pot Wait.33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To question about people's behaviors of waiting.B.To show why people are impatient while waiting.C.To help people know their feelings while waiting.D.To advise us not to lose heart while we're waiting.阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
