On a recent weekday morning she was busy greeting guests, helping volunteers, preparing pots of fresh coffee, and answering endless questions. Butter? We have tons. Cups? I’ll grab some for you.“Without this place there would be no me. These people are angels,” says Linda Bell, a regular guest at Haley House’s free morning breakfast.That feeling is created by Haley House, a program that for five decades has approached social issues facing Boston’s South End community through its soup kitchen, cheap housing, urban gardens, and education programs. The organization welcomes homeless people or those living in low-income housing as a valuable part of the larger community. “It’s really important to know people as people,” says Ms. Federici, who also works for the organization while serving in the kitchen.Instead of relying on volunteers or drive-by helpers to work in its soup kitchen, Haley House seeks out people of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in staying there for two years to help solve the social problems in South End. In exchange, they receive room and board, running its kitchen and caring for its guests.The biggest offering that Haley House has to Boston is, it’s an example of how all these pieces are linked —food, training, jobs, housing. “We couldn’t solve that whole problem of housing homeless people. We couldn’t g ive jobs to everybody. But what we did was we created models,” says Ms. McKenna, who is now retired from Haley House.“There is that strong connection to the community that Haley House workers are able to develop over their time here,” says Sean Ahern, who delivers food to Haley House. “They are really passionate about food, but more importantly, about people.”14．Which of the following best describes Libby Federici?A．Warm-hearted. B．Sharp-minded. C．Generous. D．Intelligent. 15．What is Haley House intended for?A．Popularizing local soup culture. B．Educating South End neighbors. C．Helping build a better community. D．Stressing the importance of people. 16．What do we know about Haley House workers?A．They are talented cooks. B．They do the job for free.C．They live in Haley House. D．They come from Boston.17．What is the best title for the text?A．From Haley to Boston: A Popular ModelB．Haley House: A Developing OrganizationC．Libby Federici: A Worker at Haley HouseD．From Soup to Jobs: The Haley House StoryExams make us anxious. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. It therefore seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do worse than those who do not.What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research recently published by Maria Theobald, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall which causes the problem. It is the pressure of review.Dr. Theobald worked with 309 students who were preparing for their final state exam, the most important that they take. During the 100 days before that, the students used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock exam (模拟考) 40 days before the real thing. To know their levels of anxiety, they were asked every day including the days of the mock and the real exam to give themselves 1-5 points to questions like “How much do I feel tense and nervous?”Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student showed in the mock and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing, no matter how anxious they were on the day. What actually affected students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater astudent’s anxiety on the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to review during the exam itself.To reduce the anxiety, Dr. Theobald proposes a two-fold strategy for students. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can decrease the importance of the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation.18．What causes bad exam results according to the research?A．The noisy clock. B．The stressful review.C．The silent classroom. D．The annoying neighbor.19．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Research process. B．Research findings.C．Research background. D．Research significance.20．On which day(s) does anxiety affect exam performance the most?A．The day of the real exam. B．The day of the mock.C．The days before the real exam. D．The days before the mock.21．What does Dr. Theobald advise us to do to overcome exam anxiety?A．Prepare a lot for exams. B．Build up self-confidence.C．Attach significance to tests. D．Remind ourselves of the time.Humans and elephants don’t always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage farmers’ crops and natural habitats of other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, it may be killed. So, people are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from these places.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang bee hives (蜂巢) around their farms, elephants would no longer visit. “The problem is how you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect.” said Mark Wright, a pr ofessor at the University of Hawaii.The idea came up to look at honeybee pheromones (信息素), chemicals that the bees use to repel something that’s attacking the hive. Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use honeybee pheromones to affect elephant behaviors.They tested out a mixture of chemicals similar to honeybees’ alarm signals. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks with the chemicals andnormal so cks around an elephant watering hole, and observed the animals’ behavior.“Elephants are really curious creatures. They’ll walk along and see something like a sock hanging in a tree, and they’ll observe it. If it’s not with the pheromones, they’ll pick it up, throw it around, and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of those with the pheromones, they would quickly show signs of unease or uncertainty, and they’d back off from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them.”The study is in Current Biology. Next up, the researchers plan to perfect the chemicals to get an even stronger avoidance response from elephants. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they should not be going — and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.22．What is known about elephants in Africa and Asia?A．They get on well with humans. B．They must be in great danger. C．They attack farmers on purpose. D．They might threaten other species. 23．What does the un derlined word “repel” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Search for. B．Slow down. C．Drive away. D．Look into. 24．How did Wright’s team conduct the research?A．By testing predictions. B．By making comparisons.C．By analyzing causes and effects. D．By recording historical development. 25．What is the main idea of the text?A．Honeybee pheromones are put into use.B．Elephants live in harmony with humans.C．Honeybee alarm signals protect elephants.D．Elephants’ curiosity is out of expectations.三、七选五“The Friendship Files” is my series of interviews about friendships. When this project began, I wrote, “People are at their most generous, their funniest, and their most fascinating when talking with and about their friends.” The interviews only strengthen ed that belief.____26____Build-up____27____ Sometimes that increases slowly, as it did for two neighbors who have livedacross the hall for 20 years.

A．The simplest and most obvious one is time spent together.B．These unexpected relationships need our special attention.C．We need to be brave to build friendship in places we never expect it.D．Besides keeping groups close, they can give its members a shared culture.E．It takes energy and thought, and you could feel stressed mentally and physically.
