As we played,I noticed a small group of boys 43 on a smaller, skinner, and possibly younger boy. They were calling him names and 44 pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face. When I saw that, I grabbed my 45 by the hand and walker over to the 46 .I stepped 47 them and the younger boy, and asked them 48 what this boy had done to deserve 49 they are doing to him. They all 50 silently for a moment, and then the most amazing thing 51 : One of the boys who hadn’t said anything since I 52 stepped around me and helped the small boy off the 53 and then apologized. He offered to let him play with them, 54 the boy quietly said “thank you” and refused, then left there.As I looked around, I 55 that there were dozens of other people at the park—some of them were 56 with children of their own—but no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt 57 that the one of the boys was brave enough to stand up against his friends to help someone 58 , but I felt sad that no one else had even taken a second 59 .

As a child I loved him；as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, w e went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon，did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father，who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted wit h my_new_friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.61. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.62. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel________.A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe63. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkative.C. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hardworking.64. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to________.A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerB.IN the UK, we like a good bargain . People rush to the sales in January, when stores cut their prices to get rid of all their winter stock (库存). But surprisingly, the British hate haggling.In markets you might see the odd (零星的) British person battling with a stall（摊位） owner to bring down the price of a pair of trousers or some furniture. Generally, though, people from the UK are too reserved to haggle. If we think the price of something we want is too high, we’ll simply move on and try somewhere else.The act of bargaining with someone is very theatrical, in my opinion. It’s a test to see who can stand their ground for the longest. But it’s not in British people’s nature to “perform” in public, especially around strangers.However, in the US, people are generally more willing to haggle. And if you wander into a market, you’re likely to hear a number of phrases that Americans reserve for such occasions.First, “you drive a hard bargain” is commonly said by the customer toindicate they think the stall holder is working very hard, probably a little too hard, to get the price he or she wants.Or you might hear the buyer telling a stall ho lder that “the kid’s gotta have braces”, which means they don’t have enough spare money lying around to afford the price being offered.If the customer is really shocked at the price suggested by the seller, he or she also might say “you’re killing me” t o indicate that they think the price is far too high.In Britain, it’s difficult to imagine anyone saying anything along these lines. If I were forced to bargain, I’d probably say, very simply: “I’m going to make you an offer.” If that offer were refused, I think I’d just walk away.65.The word “haggle” is closest in meaning to___________.A．argue B. bargain C. persuade D. talk66. In the writer’s opinion, the British don’t do bargain because__________A. they don’t feel comfortable being too dramatic with strangers.B. bargaining is not allowed in their culture.C. the prices are fixed and can’t be brought down.D. they are afraid that they may lose face in public places.67. After an American say to the stall owner “You’re killing me!”, he will very likely_______A. tell the stall owner that he is shocked.B. just walk away and try somewhere else.C. ask the stall owner to lower the price.D. complain about the high prices.68. According to the passage, if the British want to buy stuff at cheaper prices,A. they will wait for the sales in January.B. they will go to the markets where they can bargain.C. they will shop online.D. they will buy second-hand stuff.C.For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size.I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take away old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fancy what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our bodies? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our bodies, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our bodies and make friends with and love ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.69.The passage tries to highlight the importance of .A. body sizeB. attitudes toward lifeC. culture differenceD. different beauty standards70.What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?A. All the problems.B. All the properties.C. The whole world.D. The absolute truth.71.What can be inferred about the author?A. The author is a Samoan.B. The author succeeded in losing weight.C. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.72.According to the author, what is the common view of those who havelost some weight first and gained it back later?A. The feel angry about the regained weight.B. They are indifferent to the regained weight.C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.DSneakers go back a long way. In the late 18th century, people wore rubber-soled（橡皮底的）shoes called plimsolls, but they were pretty crude —there was no right foot or left foot. Around 1892, the US rubber sneakers with canvas tops, called Kids, appeared. By 1917, these sneakers began to be mass produced. They got the nickname sneakers because they were so quiet — a person wearing them could sneak up on someone.That same year, Marquis Converse produced the first shoes made just for basketball, called Converse All-Stars. In 1923, an Indiana hoops star named Chuck Taylor endorsed the shoes, and they became known as Chuck Taylor All-Stars. These are the best-selling basketball shoes of all time.Sneakers went international in 1924. That’s when a German man named Adi Dassler created a sneaker that he named after himself — Adidas. This brand became the most popular athletic shoes in the world. Track star Jesse Owens wore Adidas when he won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics. Adi’s brother Rudi started up another famous sports shoe company — Puma.During the first half of the 20th century, sports shoes were worn mostly to play sports. But in the 1950s, kids began wearing them as fashion statements. Even more teens followed the fad after seeing James Dean in sneakers in the popular movie “Rebel Without Cause”Sales of sneakers really took off in 1984, when Michael Jordan signed a contract to wear a Nike shoe called Air Jordans —the most famous sneaker ever made. Even after Jordan retired from the NBA, his shoes continued to be the best seller. As companies like Nike, Reebok and Adidas competed against each other, they changed the way sneakers began to be produced for every sport, including walking, skateboarding and cross training.New sneaker technologies increase performance. Nike’s Air Force used little pockets of gas to create better cushioning, while Reebok introduced The Pump — air is pumped into shoes to make them fit more comfortably. Of course, innovations（创新）like these come with a price — Athletic shoes often cost more than $100 a pair.73. Why did sneakers get the nickname?A. Because they were very quiet so everyone wanted to wear them.B. Because they were so quiet that a person wearing them could catch upwith somebody quickly.C. Because they were quiet, a person wearing them could sneak upon somebody without being noticed.D. Because they were quiet, athletes wearing them could win more gold medals.74. According to the history of sneakers, in what time order did these brands appear?a. Nike.b. Plimsolls.c. Converse All-Stars.d. Puma.e. Adidas.f. Kids.A. b-f-c-e-d-aB. b-c-e-f-d-aC. b-f-c-a-e-dD. b-c-f-d-e-a75. According to the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _______.A. a Nike shoe called Air Jordans is the most famous sneaker nowB. though sneakers cost a lot, more and more people will wear themC. sneakers are comfortable to wearD. innovations cause the price of sneakers to fall76. The best title for the passage is “_________”.A. Sneakers are popular with teensB. Sneakers are popular with famous athletesC. What are sneakersD. Sneakers’ yesterday and todayEWHERE in the world do people feel most satisfied with their lives? The 2020 World Happiness Report, released by Columbia University’s Earth Institute on Sept 9, reveals that people in Scandinavia (斯堪的纳维亚地区) are quite happy.Sponsored by the United Nations, the two-year long survey of 156 countriesand regions found that Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden are the world’s happiest countries. The Chinese mainland ranks 93rd. According to the report, people in Northern Europe are healthier, wealthier and more free than people elsewhere. They are more generous to each other and always have someone to count on in times of trouble. In addition, their countries are less affected by corruption (腐败).“If you had to be reborn anywhere in the world as a person with average talents and income, you would want to be a Viking,” commented The Economist. So why did the Northern European countries come out looking so good? Thomas Winther, director of The Scandinavia Show, a UK show dedicated to displaying the best of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, gives a hint. “We have a reputation for being chilled out (十分放松的) and a bit boring –but boring has become fashionable ,” he told The Telegraph.Even if you have never been to any Scandinavian countries, it is not hard to notice Scandinavians’ simple lifestyle. From cars to mobile phones, from glasses to furniture, from clothes to buildings, the designs are based on simplicity , reflecting the way of life in this part of the world.But excellent design alone isn’t what’s bringing Scandinavians so much satisfaction. In fact, living close to nature is Scandinavians’ secret to happiness.People there love to live in harmony (和谐) with Mother Earth. Their eco-friendly lifestyle offers opportunities for families to escape from their daily work and spend quality time together.Nordic food is very much about freshness and purity (纯净). “There is not a big fast-food culture and no ready meals. We also tend to sit down with our families to eat our meals. There is no more important place thanthe dinner table,” Trina Hahnemann, a Danish chef and author of The Scandinavian Cookbook, told The Independent.Another important part of the Nordic mentality is modesty , said Lars Tragardh, a historian born in Sweden, in an interview with the BBC. It has more to do with values of equality. It is about choosing not to show off or be self-centered, according to Lars.“You shouldn’t believe you are more than you are. This attitude, in a way, we have in our social DNA,” Robert Mellberg, a tech entrepreneur (企业家), told the BBC.77.Which of the following countries may be the best place for most peopleto be reborn into?A.
