For the first time in over a decade, I felt at my wit’s end in my freelance (自由职业) writing business for so long that I needed to get a part-time job for inspiration.My first day of employment was a few weeks before Thanksgiving on my 37th birthday. At first, I was worried about whether I could still physically do the job. But Olive Garden made it easy to relearn serving. For not long, my arms got stronger, I mastered the pace and got used to the chaos and I made friends with my co-workers.On Valentine’s Day, I was surprised by what I saw. That night, Olive Garden was a madhouse. A fight was about to break out in the kitchen. Instead of three or four tables in my section, I had more like nine. In the mid of all this chaos, I was struck with a deep sense of appreciation for what I was doing. Standing in that packed dining room, with my apron and name tag on, I saw myself in the guests — the big families getting together to celebrate love and the couples who were there on casual dates. It was a place of good memories.After that, I have made a practice of getting inside others’ minds, asking myself what people might be experiencing when they are in a confused or bad state. And I have made it a personal challenge to make them happy. Later, I left when my writing work became stable again, however, the experience provides me with completely fresh perspectives towards life.4．What does the underlined phrase “at my wit’s end” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Dried up.B．Out of mind.C．Out of hope.D．Tired out.5．How did the writer feel about her part time job?A．It’s lucky to get a job to support her writing.B．It’s easy to serve the tables in Olive Garden.C．It’s a chance to bridge the employment gap.D．It’s challenging but she adapted to it quickly.6．What happened on that V alentine’s Day in Olive Garden?A．An awful fight occurred.B．It was crowded with mad people.C．It burst with many guests.D．Some servers left for celebration.7．What change did the experience bring to the writer?A．She became more considerate.B．She was better at making friends.C．She found writing more meaningful.D．She became braver to face challenges.Restart Dogs are currently working with Adult Estates training prisoners to raise and train puppies as assistance dogs. The analysis found the program led to a reduction in reoffending (再犯) rates in prisoners compared to those who had not participated.Based in the UK, Restart Dogs is a vocational education programme that trains adult prisoners to become assistance dog trainers. They raise and train dogs to become assistance dogs, teaching them key skills such as door manners, staying where they are asked, walking to heel on a loose lead, and settling next to their handlers while they work and study. But most importantly, they are learning to have faith in their handlers guiding them through their new adventures and environment.The programme is paid for by the Prisoners Fund, raised by the work that prisoners do in prison. There are a few conditions that prisoners must meet before they can take part in the programme, for example, they must be free of behaviour-related violation (违反) for a specified period before admittance to the programme as well as continued good behaviour throughout the programme.For prisoners, the benefits of training dogs have been well researched and recorded. Working with professionals to train dogs responsibly allows prisoners to improve their social skills, empathy, self-regulation, respect and overall well-being. The analysis reported a 36% difference in reoffending rates in the training group compared to the control group. These outcomes are similar to those found with more traditional programmes such as education, employment and trainingprogrammes.Meanwhile, for people in need of an assistance dog, there can often be a long waiting list due to the length of time it takes to train an assistance dog—it usually takes two to three years. Thanks to the work that Restart Dogs is doing, as well as training the dogs for future success and happiness, prisoners are able to get a second chance in society!8．What are the dogs mainly trained to learn?A．To follow orders.B．To cure the prisoners.C．To trust the trainers.D．To learn to be quiet.9．Which is the requirement for the participants?A．Having free time.B．Being well-behaved.C．Respecting officers.D．Sticking to the end.10．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．The program works better than expected.B．The program contributes to positive outcomes.C．The trainer prisoners tend to be released early.D．The program can replace other traditional ones.11．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Reform was Conducted in PrisonsB．Great Wonders were Created by DogsC．A Program Helped to Reduce CrimesD．Prisoners Training Dogs Got TrainedThe Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy is a highly-praised and prize winning book that highlights the globalization debates and reveals the key factors to make global business happen. Following a T-shirt’s life story from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese factory and back to a U. S. storefront before arriving at the used clothing market in Africa, the book uncovers a wealth of interesting questions about politics, trade, economics, ethics (道德学), and the impact of history on today’s business landscape.Pietra Rivoli’s story began at George Town University in Washington where she worked as a professor of finance and international business. One day, she encountered a student seminarabout globalized economy, where one student illustrated his views by giving the simple and accessible examples of T-shirts. She became inspired so one day she bought an ordinary T-shirt randomly for $5.99, deciding to look into how the process worked, which triggered the whole story. She travelled thousands of miles and across three continents to find out who did make these T-shirts that we all wear without giving a second thought about the journey each T-shirt had to go through to make it to the United States. She reached readers by using this simple, everyday T-shirt as a camera through which to explore all aspects of globalization in a historical context.The story is told in an interesting and efficient way to achieve its purpose of educating on global economy. The language used is simple for anyone interested in reading to understand the complex world of international trade. The book is written professionally from an economist’s point of view. Rivoli uses a neutral tone, which is uncommon among economic writers and policymakers. She says, “I have written this book not to defend a position, but first of all, to tell a story; not to convey morals but to discover them, and simply to see where the story leads”. 12．What is the usual journey does a T-shirt go?A．USA-Africa-USA-China.B．USA-China- USA-Africa.C．China- USA-China-Africa.D．USA-China-Africa-USA．13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The travel of a T-shirt.B．The impact of the book.C．The wisdom of the writer.D．The background of the book.14．What role did the T-shirt play in the book?A．An example to show complex concepts.B．An effective way to inspire the students.C．A main contributor to global cooperation.D．An important way to earn a living globally.15．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To show where a T-shirt goes.B．To praise an insightful professor.C．To introduce a great economy book.D．To explain what global economy is.If your friends are happy, it turns out that you’re more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the likelihood that you’ll pack on pounds. 16The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million individuals worldwide who used an exercise tracking device for five years. They used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network. On average, fine days would encourage people to run more, rainy or cold days less.Since different cities have different weather patterns, this natural experiment allowed them to ask: Did a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? If the weather in New York caused changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it could possibly happen through peer influences of the friends. 17 The behavior of one city’s runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city.18 Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around. 19 “We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Since they are easily influenced by and influence their social network in very strong and dynamic ways, it will change the way a particular intervention succeeds or fails.” Sinan Aral, the leading researcher said.Or, let’s put it this way. Next time, the doctors recommend people to do more exercise.20A．There were a few more findings.B．That was exactly what the researchers saw.C．More difficulties remained to be worked out.D．They will tell the same to their friends and family, too.E．The result provides some practical guidance for professionals.F．Runners in one city would run as much as peers in another city.G．Now researchers have identified another similar quality: exercise.二、完形填空A decade ago, the day before Christmas, my mother announced we were no longercelebrating Christmas. “Boys, go to find a big 21 that we can use as a tree”.
