Over the past decade, however, digital payment has taken off—tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has become normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition (转型)．Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transactions per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payment rose from 4% of all payment in 2012 to 34% in 2017.Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But what's equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and telecoms companies (in emerging ones ) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, and tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees.In the main, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. When payment dematerialize, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.Yet behind these benefits, there are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failures and cyber attacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people's shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data.1．What are some rich countries trying to do?A．Dematerialize money.B．Get rid of the side effects of cash.C．Make the economy more efficient by protecting endangered species.D．Promote payment without paper money or coins.2．Why are several countries mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．To show the differences between developed and developing countries.B．To show that cash is still king across the world.C．To show digital payment is becoming a trend that cannot be stopped.D．To show China is developing faster than those developed countries in digital payment.3．Why is cash disappearing largely?A．Younger consumers are short of money to live their digital lives.B．Suppliers are trying to reduce costs and obtain money and data.C．The infrastructure is developing at high speed in developed markets.D．Financial firms want to abandon old-fashioned customers.4．What's the author's attitude toward digital payment?A．Favorable. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Indifferent.BMy family graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave!I realized this after completing my first-year internship (实习期). I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big company from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if I could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready.There was just one problem: I wasn't invited to the StubHub's party. But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed.Although the legal department didn't have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great company in San Francisco, I'm incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas.By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.5．What happened to the author in Dallas in 2011?A．She was accepted as a legal intern. B．She played in the Super Bowl.C．She escaped from San Francisco. D．She met up with her family.6．Why was the author able to go to San Francisco?A．She introduced herself to the president of StubHub.B．She watched the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas.C．She dropped out of the University of Texas.D．A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow.7．Which is the biggest lesson that the author learned from the experience?A．You must choose a career that you like.B．Jumping out of your comfort zone is rewarding.C．Accepting who you are makes you realize your strengths.D．You should listen to your family to learn about your potential.8．Which of the following words can best describe the author?A．Patient and modest. B．Supportive and energetic.C．Intelligent and humorous. D．Determined and positive.黄金考点练习13单句改错＋阅读理解Ⅰ.单句改错(代词)1．答案与解析：第一个me→myself bury oneself in sth.“使自己专心于……”，为固定短语。

During a recent class, Dutton used apples to brilliantly explain the effects of bullying.Rosie Dutton started out by showing the class two perfect-looking apples. But unknown to the students, she had dropped one of the apples repeatedly on the floor. She picked up the dropped apple and began insulting(侮辱;损害) it.“I started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was ugly and it was a horrible color," Dutton wrote."I told them that because l didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either.”They passed that apple around in a circle and the kids joined in on the insults. Then, Dutton took a completely different approach with the other apple.“We then passed another apple around and started to say kind words to it,”the 31-year-old wrote.She eventually cut both of them open to reveal that the apple that had been insulted was bruised (青肿的) inside. The apple that received praise wasn't.“When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling,” Dutton wrote in her post. “If we hadn't cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”“Unlike an apple, we have the ability to stop this from happening. We can teach childrenthat it's not OK to say unkind things to each other,” the 31-year-old explained in her post. She later added, “More and more hurt and damage happens inside if nobody does anything to stop the bullying. Let's create a generation of kind, caring children.”1.What didn't the students know in advance?A.She had dropped one apple repeatedly on the floor.B.She had dropped two apples repeatedly on the floor.C.The two apples were perfect-looking in appearance.D.She had picked the two apples from the same tree.2.How did Rosie Dutton teach students bad effects of bullying?A.By reading famous sayings.B.By listing the numbers.C.By making comparisons.D.By quoting some examples.3.At the end of the passage, Rosie Dutton calls on students to be ________.A.braveB.considerateC.activeD.honest4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.One woman found an incredible way to teach a history lesson.B.People have the ability to stop bullying from happening again.C.A teacher encourages students to put what they learned to use.D.A teacher uses a bruised apple to show bad effects of bullying.Ⅲ.七选五专题The power of humor and laughter is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine.①_________.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and keep a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. ②_________. In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4﹣6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30more times in a group of people. ③_________. However, it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.④_________. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor are they willing to socialize outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self﹣entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not progress much better due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field(制造业) with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world. ⑤_________.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.A. Laughter creates a friendly atmosphere in relationships between people.B. Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.C. Humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually worn away.D. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑)from jokes you get on the Internet.E. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, prevent aging and promote a long life.F. From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them.G. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.Ⅳ.语法填空The dictionary seems pretty simple. Words ①_____(list) in order, and you simply turn to the right page and find the word you're looking for. But ②_____ (actual), there's something you might not know about the dictionary.We think of dictionaries as large heavy ③_____ (book) that include everything. But there were not any simple, common words in early English dictionaries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, thanks ④_____, the Renaissance's(文艺复兴的) influence, English doubled its vocabulary by ⑤_____ (borrow) words from other languages. Throughout the 17th century, many English men published lists of hard words and people turned to the dictionary ⑥_____ (learn) these words.Although Noah Webster wasn't ⑦_____ first American to produce a dictionary, his name wasclosely connected with the American dictionary. To fully research words, Webster learned 26 languages to write his dictionary, ⑧_____ is called The American Dictionary of the English Language. ⑨_____ (publish) in 1828, it had over 70,000 words.

Every corner is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity of a soldier, and a slight limp (跛行). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on the table where I could see it. Embroidered (刺绣) on the cap were the words: “Iwo Jima Survivor”．As they were waiting for lunch, the others were talking happily, and this gentleman was staring out of the window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and impressive view of the waterfall.I watched him, and imagined how many horrors he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roar of the waterfall. Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.I walked over to him and said, “Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just wanted to say thank you for serving.”He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, “You're welcome, and thank you, too.”I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.1．What can we know about the place where the author enjoyed lunch?A．It was only open to people of the upper class.B．It was once visited by many famous people.C．It was attractive because of its beautiful surroundings.D．It was modeled on scenes from American history.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．The author at first thought the gentleman was famous.B．The gentleman stood out because of his uniform.C．The gentleman's family didn't like to talk with him.D．The gentleman wasn't expecting the author to thank him.3．What encouraged the author to talk to the soldier?A．The soldier's disability.

B．Satisfied.C．Sympathetic. D．Doubtful.Broller coaster. I'm 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I'm in good condition. I'm a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issues.I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you around quite fast. I didn't choose to go on that. I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn't ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.I wasn't nervous—I don't get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn't fall out. The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and the experience couldn't be better. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.People were saying I'd got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one I got a year earlier.My record-breaking way really began a couple of years ago, with the Ice Bucket Challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.I'm not sure if anyone admires all the fun I'm having. They just say I'm daft and that's about it.

That might mean a little more space, which would be good. However, it also would make the passengers pay more.Average air temperatures around the world are rising because people are polluting the air with an increasing number of greenhouse gases, which, such as carbon dioxide, are a byproduct (副产品) of burning fuels. Those warmer temperatures can influence an airplane's ability to fly because air molecules (分子) spread out more as the air warms. This produces less lift under a plane's wings, so a plane must be lighter to take off in hot weather than on cooler days.It can even prove too dangerous for some planes to attempt a take-off. A record of June heat wave in the American Southwest, for instance, caused flight cancellations in Phoenix, Ariz. One airline's planes were cleared to operate only up to 47.8 degree Celsius. On June 20, Phoenix reached 48.3 ℃！Radley Horton is a climate scientist at Columbia University. Two years ago, he and his graduate student Ethan David Coffel studied the impact of warming at four U．S. airports and found that warming of track could triple(使成三倍) the number of days when planes face weight restrictions. Later, they explored the impact of rising temperatures on live types of commercial planes flying out of 19 of the world's busiest airports. In the coming decades, as many as one to three out of every 10 flights that take off during the hottest time of day could face weight. That would be equal to taking a dozen people off the plane, the researchers calculated.1．How would global warming affect air travel according to the first paragraph?A．It'll add to the danger of flying. B．It'll increase passengers' travel cost.C．It'll make flying much more comfortable. D．It'll encourage more people to travel by plane.2．What is the second paragraph actually intended to explain?A．How global warming is happening. B．What decides a plane's ability to fly.C．Why global warming affects flying. D．Where greenhouse gases are created.3．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Reasons for flight cancellation. B．The findings of a weight-related research.C．The tendency of temperature change. D．Effects of hot air on financial growth.4．What should be the best title for the text?A．Air Travel Isn't Recommended during Hot WeatherB．Rising Temperatures May Reduce the Number of FlightsC．Weight Restrictions Are More Common in More AirportsD．Hotter Air May Lead to Planes Carrying Fewer PassengersB2020·南昌二模议论文304词★★★☆☆statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender_stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It's great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do？” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It's a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it's as important as reading and writing. I've realized that at university I'd achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don't want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I'm exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I'm hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.5．What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Personal learning style. B．Sex characteristic.C．Conventional sex concept. D．Profession difference.6．According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A．Increasing job possibility. B．Winning popularity.C．Improving language competence. D．Enriching imagination.7．How did the author feel for her major choice?A．Satisfied. B．Active.C．Discouraged. D．Regretful.8．What may be the best title for the text?A．Art or Science, Either is OK B．Good Subjects, Good FutureC．Girls, Choose More Wisely D．Catch Chances, Change the World黄金考点练习33短文改错＋阅读理解Ⅰ.短文改错答案：Thank you for your letter, what①whichreally made me happy.

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练13倒数第八周星期三AShort and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis Cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就).Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You are completely crazy,’” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pol e, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.1. The turning point in Saunders’life came when _____A. he started to play ball gamesB. he got a mountain bikeat age 15C. he ran his first marathon at ag e 18D. he started to receiveRidgway’s training2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A. dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasyB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic3. What do we know about Saunders?A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.4. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.A. ExcitedB. ConvincedC. DelightedD.Fascinated5. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.A. was accompanied by his old playmatesB. set a record in the NorthPole expeditionC. was supported by other Arctic explorersD. made him well-knownin the 1960sBThe “Bystander Apathy （漠不关心）Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:(1) women are helped more than men;(2) men help more than women;(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1) “Shifting of responsibility”一the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people’ there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2) “'Fear of making a mistake'’一situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’v e seen on intervention(介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follow. ”Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of theindividual: “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people witha strong moral code or religious ideals.”6. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.C. Religious people are more likely to look on.D. Criminals are more likely to harm women.7. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?A. Sex.B. Nationality.C. Profession.D.Setting.8. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?A. When one is in trouble, people think it’s his own fault.B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.9. The author wrote this article ______.A. to explain why bystanders behave as they doB. to urge people to stand out when in needC. to criticize the selfishness of bystandersD. to analyze the weakness of human natureC10. This passage is mostly about _______.A. what nonverbal communication isB. human conversationC. the life of Edward T. HallD. human behavioraluse of space11. Edward T.

The word dynamics means ______.A. difficultiesB. forces or influences thatcause changeC. largenessD. explosions so large that they ar ebeyond beliefDI tried not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was short, a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症). I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks.I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger, and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物). After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only pro blem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.That's why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Down’s Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months.A ripple of exci tement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, the head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. BelleRinger, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, "OK, Frannie, what was that all about?""We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay.""I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?"Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers about Stevie's surgery, then sighed: "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said. "But I don't know how he and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getting by as it is." Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables.After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand and a funny look on her face."What's up?" I asked."I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting after they left, and I found this was folded and put under a coffee cup."She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed "Something For Stevie".That was three months ago. Today is Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie is supposed to be back to work. His social worker said he had been counting the days until the doctor said he could work. I arranged to have his mother bring him to work, met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back.I led them toward a large corner booth. I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups, and dinner plates, all sitting slightly bent on dozens of folded paper napkins."First thing you have to do, Stevie, is clean up this mess," I said.Stevie looked at me, and then at his mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had "Something for Stevie" printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed on it.I turned to his mother. "There's more than $10,000 in cash and checks on that table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems. "Happy Thanksgiving !"Well, it got really noisy about that time, with everybody hollering and shouting, and there were a few tears, as well. But you know what's funny?While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, was busy clearing all the cupsand dishes from the table.15. Why did the author have doubts about hiring Stevie?A. Stevie was not that reliable.B. Stevie was mentallydisabled.C. Stevie was too short and fat.D. Stevie wasbad-tempered.16. According to the story, which of the following sentences is true?A. Stevie made customers uncomfortable.B. Stevie couldn’t fix his attention on his work.C. Stevie often spilled coffee out of cups.D. Stevie usually cleaned the table too early.17. By saying the underlined sentence in Para. 3, the author meant thatthe money she paid Stevie ________.A. could help Stevie out of the money trouble.B. couldn’t thoroughly solve Stevie’s problem.C. could make a great difference to Stevie’s life.D. couldn’t send Stevie to a group home.18. Why did Frannie sigh after she got word that Stevie would be OK ?A. She was worried that the owner would fire Stevie.B. She was worried about Stevie’s health.C. She was worried about Stevie’s finance problem.D. She was worried that no one would help Stevie.19. Why did the author ask Stevie to clean up the mess on the table after he returned?A. It was Stevie’s duty to clean the table.B. The table was so dirty that it needed cleaning.C. Stevie would find the money that was given to him.D. She wanted to congratulate Stevie on his coming back.20.

I went to this school and I heard lots of children. My new teacher took me to the class where we were taught to write and type in Braille(盲文). I found it quite difficult.“Hi, sweetheart, how is school going?”asked my father.“Daddy, I cant do this. I try and try but I just dont get it. I dont know if I am ever going to learn to read Braille. It/s too difficult,”I cried.Daddy just held me in his arm and said,“Do you remember that we went to the temple which is on the top of a mountain? When we were climbing the mountain, my legs started aching, I sat down and said, I cant see the temple. You cant see it because it is covered with fog. Although you cant see it, I know it is there. I will make sure you will climb up to it.”“That day you showed me that just you cant see something does not mean it is not there.

英语每日一练（三十六）完型填空：When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four summers working in 1 at a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago.2 , I was a maid.I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. My friends had 3 jobs such as making ice cream, selling goods at the mall, or life guarding at the outdoor pool. I had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company: 4 pay, air-conditioned office, the gold standard for summer jobs, as most of us dreamed of. When that 5 , the only option left was to take a train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid.It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. My 6 attitude reflected my disdain（鄙视）for cleaning toilets, 7 bed sheets, dusting, eight hours a day for the comfort of total strangers who 8 left a tip. I thought it was beneathme. My maid work was average 9 the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only time another maid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off.

She’d ended her lecture to me with " 12 some pr ide in your work.”She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, and all the other experienced maids.

How do you expect to get that bowl clean?”Their pride in a job well done was reflected in how they treated 16 . They left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and 17 makeup. They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. And, 18 often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. When you workwith happiness and 19 , a job will be well done.
