Things weren’t bad；they were good．A hundred yards away was Summit Lake．It was beautiful．We fired up the camp stove and boiled up a cup of coffee．Half an hour later，my 6-year-old daughter and I were in the parking lot of the Lassen Peak Trail，getting ready to hike．We wouldn’t make it all the way—young legs get pretty tired on a steep mountain path—but it didn’t matter．We would see great views spread out below us，the volcanic(火山的)ash that layered on the earth turning the melting snow a mysterious pink as the sun struck it．Later，during the hike，I felt stupid about my morning complaints．Everything had been worthwhile．It gave me great satisfaction to see my daughter so excited about the view from the mountain．Yes，camping is uncomfortable．But there’s also something wonderful about being so close to nature．Just as importantly，there’s someth ing about getting young children out of their increasingly technology-filled comfort zones and forcing them to experience the non-cyber(没有网络的)world around them．It’s a good thing to reconnect every so often with the Great Outdoors．28.

But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.For the past 10 years, people have been sending Frank Warr en postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. “It’s a drawing of a lift. And the secret says, ‘I feel guilty (感到内疚的) when I take lifts for one floor, so I limp (跛行) when I get out.’” Frank said.About ten years ago, Mr. Warren created an art project called PostSecret.

These include after using the toilet , after bathing a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing (PPPHW). The goal, the y say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The or ganizers say all soap is equally useful in removing disease-causing germs (细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands wit h a little water and cover them with soap. Rub (搓) it into all ar eas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under ru nning water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps lo break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a p leasant smell, which increases the chances that people will w ash again.It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and a fter using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. I t could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year.29．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

AHave you ever felt the desire to move and experience another beautiful part of the country?This could be the perfect career change for you.The National Trust in England is looking for someone to work as a ranger on the Fame Islmds,one of Britain's oldest nature reserves located just off the Northumberland coast.For $22.668 a year,the successful applicant will be required to look after the local wildlife,including the 200 seal pups which are born on the islands each year and 37,000 pairs of puffins.The ranger will get the chance to work in some of the nation's most attractive places and spaces -impressive sunrises a one-minute ride and one of England's largest seal colonies on his doorstep.But like every job,it doesn't come without a downside.Apart from avoiding the dive-bombing Arctic terns,there is no running water on the island and there will be severe storms to fight with during the spring.Along with a love of nature and the outdoors,the National Trust is looking for "an excellent team player" who has experience in conservation work.This job isn't the normal 9 to 5,so being good at PowerPoint isn't a must. With 50,000 annual visitors every year, you really need to be able to get on with people and show them how they can participate to help nature.Could you see yourself in this role? Applications for the job close on June 7.Want to apply?

Kiwi can live a long time,between 25 and 50 years.A female carries a huge egg for its body size.The kiwi is about the same size as a chicken but its egg is actually six times as large as a chicken's egg. The reason for this is that the kiwi doesn’t have to fly so there aren't any limits on its weight.The female has to eat three times as much as usual to help the egg develop.Right before the egg is laid she can't eat anything because the egg presses against her stomach,leaving no room for food.All kiwi species are endangered.On average,twenty-seven die each week.Theyhave been affected most by deforestation and invasive mammals.Before humans came to New Zealand,the only mammals on the island were bats and seals.The kiwi never had to worry about predators before,but now since it cannot fly,and lays its eggs on the ground, it is pretty defenseless against invasive mammals such as rats and stoats.Stoats kill a lot of the chicks,while dogs kill a lot of adult birds,usually by accident,because they are quite delicate（易碎的)24.Which is kiwi's unique characteristic?A: They can't fly with no wings.B.They can live more than 50 years,C.They rule the air instead of the ground.D.They seldom or never come out in the daytime,25.Why does a female kiwi carry a huge egg?A.It eats three times as much as usual.B.I focuses too much on developing its egg.C.Body weight will grow without limit for a flightless bird.D.The egg presses against her stomach.26.

Which is a suitable tile for the passage?A.Endangered kiwi species.B.Kiwis-unique birdsC.Get close to the bird world.D.Why can’t kiwis fly?CAlmost all researches in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours.However,some of thembelieve that nightmares do have some real benefits.One 2017 study.for example,found that frequent nightmare sufferers considered themselves as more empathetic(共鸣的）They also showed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks,Some other researches have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious,but rather had a general sensitivity (敏感)to all emotional experiences.Sensitivity is the driving force behind Intense (强烈的) dreams.Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in bad dreams and nightmares,while heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dream.And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares,or promoting (促进) social bonds and empathy(共鸣)after positive dreams.The effects go further still.This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts:people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts.And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative advantage.For example,studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic expression. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity,people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative,positive and vivid as it can be distressing and frighte ning.What’s more,this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep,but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Eve n after people wake up and shake off the nightmare,in other words,a mark of it stays behind,occupying them throughout the day.28.What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?A.They have no advantages at all.B.They make people more empatheticC.They can contribute t o humans’ creativityD.They are a reflection of waking behavior.29.How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theoryaccording to the text?A.Be more fearful to anxious to nightmaresB.Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.C.Avoid excitement as much as possible.D.Promote social bonds and empathy.30.What does the underlined word “pe rception"in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Awareness.B.Content.C.ReliefD.Determination.31 What can be the best title for the text?A.The Solution of Nightmares.B.The Empathy ofNightmaresC.The Benefits of Nightmares.D.The Tendency ofNightmaresDLast month my mother moved into a nursing home.This came after yeas of witnessing the worsening of her cognitive abilities(认知能力)and changes in her personality,all thanks to frontotemporal dementia(FTD)(额颞叶痴呆）My mom is going to lose her ability to speak,have trouble forming complete thoughts and sentences,and eventually forget how to do things she loved.like cooking and reading.But despite all of her inabilities, when I walked in on her having dinner with the rest of the woman that make up the dementia floor of the nursing home,I didn't think she belonged.It wasn't until I spent three days there bonding with those women that I realized what scared me the most--she did fit in.If you were an outsider looking at these women,you'd pity them.You'd think it was cruel that our bodies could turn on us in this way.You’d think it was sad that their families have put the burden of taking care of them on someone else.You'd want to intervene.You'd want to give the lady eating mashed potatoes with her hands a spoon,you'd want to peel the orange for the lady who's eating it like an apple,you'd want to scold the lady who forgets to flush (冲刷）the toilet and wash her hands after using the bathroom.I did all those things to my mother.But when I see her in an environment that lets her be herself. it somehow seems okay.Learn to love them unconditionally.It's easier said than done,but if she loved me after making her annoyed for making me come home by 10 p.m.on Fridays.I can love her even if she forgets my name.32.What frightened the author most?A Her mother suffered from FTD.B.Her mother fit in with the nursing home.C.she lived with those women at the nursing home.D.She had to look after her mother33.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"intervene"?A.Interrupt.B.Amaze.C.Permit.D.Explore.34.What was the final decision of the author?A.She let her mother alone.B.She sent her mother to hospital.C.She let her mother stay at the nursing home.D.
