    Many of us eat purely to satisfy our appetite for delicious food. But due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many Chinese people are changing their eating habits.

Due to busy work schedules, ordering simple and quick meals online used to be commonplace (寻常的) for many young people in China. Zhang Xiaoyan, a 30-year-old from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was one of them. She typically ate in the office and seldom cooked at home on weekdays. Even on weekends, she would prefer takeout food. But amid the NCP outbreak, being trapped at home for an extended (延长的) period has changed her eating habit. Now, she rolls up her sleeves and cooks for herself. “Cooking by myself sometimes is quite time-demanding, but it helps me have a healthy diet,” Zhang told China Daily.

Instead of eating at fast food chains or restaurants, cooking at home has become a nationwide trend. Some even regard sharing food videos on their WeChat Moments at meal times as “a special way to say hello to each other when face-to-face dinner is not possible,” noted China Daily.

Apart from cooking at home, many also eat separately and adopt (采用) the habit of using serving chopsticks and spoons, or gongkuai and gongshao in Chinese.

Influenced by collectivism (集体主义), communal eating habits have been a part of Chinese culture for centuries. For Chinese people, eating one’s own dish would be considered rude during a social gathering. They typically share several dishes laid out in the center of a table and sometimes share utensils (餐具) in the meals to show their respect and closeness.

Though it seems polite, it’s indeed risky. According to World Health Organization, foodborne (食物传播的) diseases are quite common, and saliva (唾液) is one of the most common ways for them to spread. So many cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have already launched initiatives (倡议) for people to order separate meals.

“Healthy eating habits and maintaining good order have become real issues for us. It’s related to people’s health and safety, and it’s also a personal responsibility during the pandemic (大流行),” noted Guangming Daily. These are habits formed amid the pandemic, but as long as they are good for our health, perhaps we should keep them from now on.

1.How has Zhang Xiaoyan’s eating habit changed?

A.She eats simple and quick meals more often. B.She cooks meals by herself at home.

C.She now orders more takeout food. D.She often copies the meals her friends post on WeChat.

2.What do Paragraphs 5-7 mainly talk about?

A.How to change communal eating habits.

B.Why changing communal eating habits helps.

C.The relationship between culture and eating habits.

D.The role collectivism plays in Chinese eating habits.

3.What does Guangming Daily’s quote tell us?

A.Eating habits have a lot to do with our health.

B.Safety always comes first in every situation.

C.People are warned that foodborne diseases are on the rise.

D.It’s difficult for Chinese people to break bad eating habit

    Pilates, yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy. There is, however, a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive, but has all the benefits-walking.

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains, “What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet.”

A recent report details the health benefits of walking. The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week, recommended by the UK’s chief medical officer, could save 37,000 lives each year. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running. They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%, while running reduced it by 4.5%. And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily, according to research by Oregon State University. The study by days could help you sleep easily. The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body. So, go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

1.The underlined word “humble” in the first paragraph probably means ___________.

A.simple B.relaxing

C.popular D.active

2.What does Jolynn Jaekel think of walking?

A.It is loved by people of all ages.

B.Walking contributes to curing heart disease.

C.Walking 150 minutes per week can save lives.

D.Walking is better than running in some cases.

4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?

A.Comment. B.Lifestyle.

C.Education. D.Media.

    Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.

Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.

1.What does the smile usually mean in America?

A.Love. B.Politeness.

C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.

2.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A.show friendliness to strangers

B.be used to hide true feelings

C.be used in the wrong places

D.show personal habits

3.What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people?

A.Learn about their relations with others.

B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C.Find out about their past experience.

D.Figure out what they will do next.

4.What would be the best title for the test?

A.Cultural Differences

B.Smiles and Relationship

C.Facial Expressiveness

D.Habits and Emotions

    People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. 1. As a result, Manalo, a professor of educational psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but in reality, we do.”

Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. 2. Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.

Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 3. Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done. 4.

5. Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.

A.However, all were stopped before finishing.

B.The saying shows the importance of success.

C.Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.

D.One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.

E.Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.

F.They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.

G.Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.

    Why do people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work?

Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.

People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor to an external factor. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.

Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them-to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.

Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, result in concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity.”

1.People volunteer mainly out of ________.

A.school requirements B.social expectations

C.financial rewards D.internal needs

2.What does the author want to tell us in the third paragraph?

A.People who participate in volunteer programs in schools are sensitive.

B.External factors are more important than internal factors in volunteer work.

C.Being required to be volunteers may make people reluctant to do volunteer work.

D.Volunteer programs in school can encourage people to do more volunteer work in future.

3.What can we learn from the Florida study?

A.Follow-up studies should last-for one year.

B.Volunteers should get mentally prepared.

C.Strategy training is a must in research.

D.Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.

4.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?

A.Individual differences in role identity.

B.Practical advice from researchers.

C.Role identity as a volunteer.

D.Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.

    One after another, telecommunications giants (通信巨头) have announced their latest fifth generation (5G) products. They have also claimed that 5G technology would be used on a massive scale by 2020. Yet, when reporting about 5G, many domestic media outlets have described it as a “much faster” technology than 4G without mentioning any of its other advantages. As a result, the common public view about 5G is that they could “download a high-density movie within one second”. Beyond that, most people know nothing about 5G.

Actually, 5G technology has many more advantages than 4G apart from speed. According to the criteria of 3GPP, an international standardization organization, 5G technology can be used for at least three purposes—for connecting everything, reliability of connections, and eliminating delays.

“Connecting everything” is an appropriate slogan for 5G technology, without which the Internet of things would be impossible. 5G would enable one server to connect to multiple terminals (终端) and thus establish high-speed coordination among them, and help the chips inside the terminals to timely react to meet people’s needs. Take for example, autonomous vehicles, which are mature technology products. Self-driving cars combine a variety of sensors, such as radar, computer vision, and GPS to identify navigation paths and obstacles. 5G technology will link all the elements of a transportation system, such as traffic lights, cameras and, of course, cars to establish perfect coordination so they can avoid obstacles and move on navigation paths, which will help strengthen self-driving technology.

Reliability of connections is another essential characteristic of 5G technology, whose use can be extended to other fields where high safety standards are required. For instance, in certain surgeries, surgeons insert nano-robots inside a patient’s body and have to maintain constant control over the robots to ensure they perform their functions and do not cause any harm to the patient. This is an technology can be of great help, as it can establish reliable and continuous connections between the monitor and the nano-robots.

1.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follow?

A.Eliminating delays. B.5G network capacity.

C.Disadvantages of 5G. D.Building 5G base stations.

2.Which can also serve as an example of “connecting everything”?

A.Improvement of smart phone signals.

B.Decrease in telecommunication cost.

C.High speed in-playing computer games.

D.Online tests for all members at the same time.

3.Why can 5G be used in fields with high safety standards?

A.It can attract most eyeball on a massive scale.

B.It can provide dependable and constant service.

C.It offers massive machine type of communication.

D.It employs 4G base stations and occupy less space.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.5G Technology: More Than about High Speed

B.5G Technology Will Shape the Future of Connectivity

C.Telecom Giants Work Together to Better 5G Technology

D.Advantages and Disadvantages of 5G Technology and Products

    On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn son wasn’t going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

“I saw him gasp (喘气), but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate said. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”

Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to treasure her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.

“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”

Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to- skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.

"We were trying to attract him to stay.” Kate said. “We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”

Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger. The couple’s lost boy had made it.

1.What do we know about the newborn boy mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.He weighed only two pounds.

B.He almost died.

C.He was two minutes older than his twin sister.

D.He had no heartbeat. ‘

2.Why did the parents make the skin-to-skin contact with the boy?

Dear Ms Smith,

I’m writing to ask whether you could do me favor. I’ve just finished an essay naming “Differences between traditional Chinese and Western festivals”, so I’m not sure whether it is well written. To be honestly, I’m not that familiar with some traditional Western festivals. That’s because I’m turning to you for help. I’d appreciate it if you could spare some time to look into my essay for possible mistakes and polish them. Also, I’m looking forward to your valuable advices. My essay has been sending to you along with this email. I hope it won’t cause you too much more trouble.

Thank you in advance.

Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.

Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.

All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.

American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.

The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.

1.The students may be unhappy because _____.

A.they have to exchange desks with each other

B.the officials show no sympathy to them at all

C.there are no seats for them to sit in class

D.they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats

2.Older students may not like stand-up desks because _____.

A.they are cleverer than younger students

B.they are easily tired of standing long

C.they have formed the habit of sitting

D.they do badly in class while standing

3.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?

A.The standing desks can’t be used at all.

B.It is good for students to use stand-up desks.

C.More tests should be done in other schools.

D.The students are different in personality.

4.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?

A.Because the educators can draw the students’ attention.

B.Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.

C.Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.

D.Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.
