The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 139 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 30.The WytheA boutique hotel in Brooklyn.

He quit his job at a computer company and devoted his full attention to helping his son. In 2012, Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism improve their articulation (发音) and physical growth, so he spent months teaching his son to swim.“The efforts made no difference in the first three months,” he recalls. To his surprise, after another three months, he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water, which significantly boosted his confidence. “I used to plan all his exercises for him, but now it is all up to him,” says the father.“He decides how many exercises he wants to do, and we respect his choices.” In spite of all the hardships in life, Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer, thanks to constant training and the support of his parents. Last year, he won five medals, including a gold, at the 11th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the eighth National Special Olympic Games. In 2010, an autism-themed film, titled Ocean Heaven, hit the big screen in China. It describes how a dying father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him. “My wife and I watched the film in the theater,” he says. “We wept uncontrollably because we could resonate with the film’s characters.”Since then, as well as swimming, helping his son learn basic life skills is also an important aim for the father. Thanks to his efforts, Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market in their neighborhood. He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants, such as arranging shelves and cleaning dining tables. “He is part of the community, and I hope he will live a normal life in the future.

But Milan now wants to change it.The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030- a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a small island of greenery in the heart of Milan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees,” Boeri said.Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show that Milan experiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to the Alps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.The Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. The Vertical Forest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees hasa very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.28．What change does Milan plan to makeA．Planting more trees. B．Creating a new fashion style. C．Pulling down more gray stone buildings. D．Doing more surveys to study global warming.29．What's Boeri's opinion on the city's planA．It costs a lot. B．It is unpractical.C．It fails to attract people's attention. D．It is helpful to fight against climate change.30．What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned.31．What does the last paragraph focus onA．Specifics of the city's plan. B．Challenges faced by the city. C．The aim of the Vertical Forest project. D．The positive effect of the Vertical Forest project.DHave you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darkerMost people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics.The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow.What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around orthe passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”32．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1A．To offer a general background of the topic. B．To make an overall outline for the passage.C．To introduce the topic of the passage. D．To clarify the definition of the topic.33．In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state" A．Adopting a dog. B．Watching TV.C．Playing the chess. D．Arguing with others.34．What can we infer from the third paragraphA．The state of flow is little conditional. B．Genius at normal schools often gets bored.C．Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D．Skills play the most important part in flow.35．Why does the writer quote the philosopher's wordsA．To show the drawbacks of the flow. B．To stress the value of self-awareness.C．To underline the absence of emotions. D．To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow.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。
