When I was about 5 years old, I experienced my very first random act of kindness. I was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, I remember the moment when I took the rose from his hand; I was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “I want to be like him” to myself as I watched him walking away.

From then on, I made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever I can. I was

very determined to make other people smile. That was the only reason why I joined my school’s Red Crescent Society and became a volunteer. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as I did. Whenever I do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. Often I will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.

These people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. However, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that person’s honesty. Perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. In other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. That is why I think random acts of kindness are really important. These selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the recipients but also to the givers. Because of this, I want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whale world. I want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone else’s life.

C. The author said a lot to the boy.

D. It gave the author strength and hope.

25. Why did the author join the school’s Red Crescent Soci ety?

A. To be a volunteer.

B. To live a happy life.

C. To make others smile.

D. To have a good time.

26. Which can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 2?

A. Make me very angry.

B. Bring difficulty to me.

C. Force me to climb the wall.

D. Force me to the dead corner.

A. Rats are always running on the streets.

D. Trust between people is decreasing.

Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time. The role of corporate culture is to improve a company’s mission and strat egies, with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit.Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.

One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and compliance（服从）.

A company does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and while these may be in place, the corporate culture is usually more of an indirect influence.

While many companies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies, its role is harder to define. The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed. The way upper management acts and reacts to various situations defines how lower-level employees will act, and this aspect may be more important than any written policy.

A company’s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a company to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a company’s customer service department can also exhibit p ositive corporate culture to outside individuals. In this case, the culture creates a l ink between the company’s employees and its customers. How customers react may be a direct res ult from the company’s corporate culture.

Product quality can also be influenced by a company’s corporate culture. Companies that focus only on profits may decide to avoid high-quality materials in products, but try to suggest that the products are of higher quality than they really are. This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty with consumers.

28. What do we know about corporate culture from this passage?

A. It is a set of rules and regulations.

B. It is the way the employees act.

C. It is the values and beliefs of a company.

D. It is the long term hope of a company.

29. Which of the following is more efficient in creating corporate culture?

A. Making a set of rules and regulations.

B. Setting an example for the employees.

C. Learning the corporate culture regularly.

D. Encouraging the employees to work harder.

30. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A. The customer is always right.

B. Corporate culture has different functions.

C. Without corporate culture, a company will die.

D. Positive corporate culture can promote sales.

31. Which word can describe the companies mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. Creative.

B. Efficient.

C. Dishonest.

D. Disloyal.

D

Feelings often run high where insects are concerned, with many people even sick when seeing them,

let alone touch or swallow them. And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing global population seeks more sources of food and feed.

Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmental footprints than traditional alternatives, and they can be raised on leftovers. But cultural, social and economic problems remain, reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.

“Inse cts present a nutritional opportunity, but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced by what they are fed,”says Darja Dobermann, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. “In ideal conditions, insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”

“Studi es overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the food or feed systems, but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems without them turning into a more expensive version of poultry（家禽）for food,” says Dobermann.

The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100 countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa, up to 50% of dietary protein has come from insects, with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.

Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate, preferably in predictably large quantities. They are consumed at various life stages, as raw, fried, boiled, roasted or ground food.

32. Which of the following is the advantage of raising insects for food?

A. It will offer people work opportunities.

B. It is environmentally friendly.

C. It will replace traditional food.

D. It will result in less leftovers

33. What can be inferred from Dobermann’s words?

A. Raising insects for food has become popular.

B. Raising insects can’t solve food problems.

C. More should be done to raise insects for food.

D. More money can be made by raising insects.

34. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 stand for?

A. Insects.

B. Regulations.

C. Feed systems.

D. Supply systems.

35. Which is the possible title of this passage?

A. How to Raise Insects

B. Raising Insects for Money

C. Insects Seem No Longer Ugly

D. A New Source of Food

Helpful Swimming Tips for Dogs

Introduce your dog to the water.

Slowly and patiently bring your dog closer to the water, kneel down next to your dog and play in the water with your hands. If your dog observes that you are not afraid of it, it will calm itself. Then slowly bring your dog to the stairs leading into the pool. Add a few fun pool toys or their favorite toys to the pool. 36

Use a life vest.

When your dog is just getting used to the water and learning how to swim, use a life vest. 37 Remember all dogs are not swimmers; some need to be taught. You can purchase a life vest specifically created for dogs at your local pet supply store, online, or wherever dog supplies are sold.

38

Dogs have a habit of tasting things all around them. 39 Pool water is full of chlorine （氯）and other chemicals that keep pool water clean and free of harmful bacteria. Although the water

is safe to swim in, it’s not recommended for drinking. Watch your dog and stop them from drinking the pool water.

Allow your dog to swim.

Once your dog is accustomed to the water, allow it to swim for short 20-second intervals. First, lowly guide it into the pool by holding it gently. Then release your hands just a little bit and its natural instinct will make it start dog paddling. 40 Once your dog gets used to swimming, it will happily swim for longer intervals at a time.
