Like many other families we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes. After getting off the train, we were walking up to the entrance when Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.“What’s that?” she asked. Linda and I looked at each other, worried about the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we’d discussed how we would explain such topics as life, death, and love. But homelessness? It came so suddenly that we just gave as simple an explanation as we could and continued on to the parade.The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches. “Can we bring some sandwiches for those people?” she inquired, Again, Kerry caught us o ff guard. “Why?” was my first reaction. But we knew immediately whom she meant. How could we refuse? Why would we refuse? This was a golden opportunity to honor Kerry’s sense of charity. Six-year-old Kerry was teaching us an important lesson. That night we prepared and packed two-dozen sandwiches into our now overstuffed backpack.Scanning the shadows after reaching Manhattan again, Kerry spotted a homeless man sitting in the same spot as last year. We stopped and took out the first of the little feasts from the pack. Without a word of instruction, we handed it to Kerry. She walked over to the man slowly, handing the sandwich to him. Neither spoke a word. Then we were off to the parade, stopping along the way to distribute the rest of the sandwiches, except one for each of us.Somehow, no giant Thanksgiving sit-down feast ever tasted as good as those sandwiches. Over the next decade we did the same things again and again. After all, there’s nothing like sharing a turkey sandwich with new friends.4. Why did the author and his wife feel worried when asked about homelessness?A．They were not prepared. B．They paid little attention.C．They were socially disadvantaged. D．They were inconsiderate.5. How did the author feel when more sandwiches were asked the next year?A．Relieved. B．Excited. C．Annoyed. D．Astonished.6. What can best describe Kerry according to the text?A．Kind and brave. B．Caring and generous.C．Ambitious and confident. D．Faithful and creative.7. What does the author mainly want to tell us about Thanksgiving?A．It’s a word of action.B．It’s an old tradition.C．It’s a good time of reunion.D．It’s a surprising feast.We, modern humans, spend 90% of our time inside, traveling between homes and offices, schools and apartments, restaurants and gyms. I’ve been hearing this statistic so much that I started to wonder if it was an urban legend. It’s not! The best reference for the statistic appears to be The National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS).The survey was funded by the U.S. Environm ental Protection Agency (EPA). “EPA’s main purpose for collecting the NHAPS data was to provide diary records that could be used as inputs for computer-based human exposure models,” says the study. In other words, in order to understand how humans might be impacted by pollutants in our various indoor and outdoor environments, scientists needed to know how much time we spend in different locations.The survey was conducted by the University of Maryland’s Survey Research Center. The survey used telephone interviews to collect 24-hour retrospective (回顾的) diaries from each respondent (调查对象). Between 340 and 1, 713 respondents were interviewed in each of the ten EPA regions across the 48 neighboring states. Respondents were generally representative of the whole nation for gender, age, race, and educational attainment.Americans spend 87% of their time indoors and an additional 6% in an enclosed vehicle. These proportions (比例) are also fairly constant across various regions of the United States and Canada. The finding that emerges is that we are basically an indoor species. In a modern society, total time outdoors is the most negligible part of the day, often so small that it barely shows up in the total.Is the study accurate? Probably not. It may not take into account some populations that spend a high proportion of time outside. As the study states, “Those who were away from a home for extended periods were not included in the survey. These individuals may be more likely than those who were at home to spend lar ge quantities of time outdoors.” Also, the survey methodology also doesn’t account well for bits of time spent taking out the trash, walking to the car, or taking a smoke break outside.8. What can we learn about modern humans according to NHAPS?A．They’re an indoor species. B．They’re an urban legend.C．They enjoy a leisurely life. D．They like living in modern cities.9. What helps researchers know pollutants’ influences on humans well?A．Humans’ different living habits.B．Humans’ way of keeping a diary.C．Humans’ time spent in various locations.D．Humans’ attitude towards theresearchers.10. What does the underlined word “negligible” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Fixed. B．Noticeable. C．Rewarding. D．Insignificant. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．A suggestion for further studies. B．A possible reason for the finding.C．An explanation of the research method. D．A major limitation of the study.Fallen leaves are everywhere as winter comes. Traditionally, people sweep up the fallen leaves, put them in bags and send them to landfills. But there is a growing movement to leave leaves on the ground. They’ll naturally break down over the winter into rich organic matter. The matter also shelters some insects.But some leaves prevent the growth of other plants. Black walnut (黑胡桃), for example, contains a poison in its leaves that kills many plants, including apples, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. Besides, whole leaves should not be permitted to remain on walkways, where they could make the path dangerously slippery. They should also not be left on grass lawns, where they are likely to cause disease. In areas that experience snow cover, water would become trapped between grass and leaves. In areas without snow, whole leaves that cover grasses block water and sunlight from reaching the soil below.Many people choose to break up the leaves using a machine and let the pieces fall between pieces of grass. Then the pieces break down further in the soil. However, this treatment can kill insects and their eggs.Another method is to take the leaves off the lawn and spread them lightly to cover garden beds. The leaves mostly break down by spring and almost entirely by summer. But if not, they should be removed before spring growth begins.Leaves also can be used to make leaf mold (腐叶土), a type of fertilizer made entirely from leaves. Just put the leaves in a corner, add nitrogen fertilizer (氮肥), and then water them to keep them wet inside. It may take a year or two, but the leaves will break down into a nutritious soil.Fallen leaves build rich soil, protect plant roots and shelter wildlife, in your garden, and elsewhere. Done correctly, leaving the leaves is one of the best ways to turn yard waste into free fertilizer, which is good for plants, the environment, and saving money. Why waste that important resource?12. What do people usually do with the fallen leaves?A．Leave them where they are. B．Gather them to be handled.C．Use them as insects’ shelters.D．Spread them to cover the garden.13. Why are Black walnut leaves mentioned?A．To analyse their unique features. B．To compare their main differences.C．To change people’s opinions on leaves.D．To show the potential dangers of someleaves.14. Why should people water when making leaf mold?A．To make nitrogen fertilizer. B．To keep leaves from drying out.C．To keep leaves in original shape. D．To lock the nutritious matter.15. What is the most suitable title for the text?A．How Can Fallen Leaves Be Turned into Art? B．Do Leaves Fall to the Ground Around the Roots?C．Should You “Leave the Leaves” on the Ground? D．Will What Comes from Leaves Return to the Soil?The UK typically produces an additional 30% of rubbish throughout the festive period compared to the rest of the year, as Britons collectively send over 100 million bags of rubbish to landfills every Christmas. 16 .Remember that less is more. Research from Business Waste found that UK citizens spend £700 million on unwanted gifts every year. In addition, of all the purchases made for Christmas, only 1% will remain in use six months down the line. 17 . Furthermore, try to choose products with minimal packaging and recycled materials wherever possible. Simple switches can make a big difference!18 . If you’re searching for a gift that does as good a s it looks, step inside the Ocean Bottle Christmas Gift Shop. There’s something for everyone, including the planet. When you buy an Ocean Bottle, you fund the collection of one thousand ocean-bound plastic bottles before they enter the ocean. Besides, 67% of these award-winning bottles are recycled. 19 . So, you can rest assured that they won’t end up in the landfill before next Christmas!You need to know the materials. 20 , it can be easy to forget about other things like wrapping paper or our clothing. For example, some cards and wrapping paper are finished with materials that can’t be recycled. So, from Christmas cards to your Christmas sweater, take the time to look at materials and understand if and how you can deal with them in the most planet-friendly way. Reusing old wrapping paper or purchasing recyclable paper is highly recommended.I had to leave school at a young age because of my poor family. I decided to go back to college to______ my dream at 42. Could I balance the ______ as a student, mom and wife? I managed to______ enough money for my first semester though our budget was ______.
