26、It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time，and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment．A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again．
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell，arts—and—crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps．The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day．

“One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious．”Michelle said．“Another's here to learn to be more confident.” She explained that most of the classes were planned．However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students．“It’s the things you don’t plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’

28、A recent experiment tested if coffee pulp (果肉) waste could help bring Costa Rica’s rain forests back to life. Researchers from the University of Hawaii tested two areas to see how the coffee pulp would affect deforested (被砍伐的) land, covering one area with about 20 inches of the pulp and leaving the other unchanged. At each site, land had been over developed for years and was given up at last. It was ruled over by harmful grasses. The grass can reach 16 feet tall and prevent native rain forests from easily regrowing.
After two years, the area with the coffee pulp cover showed a big improvement. Eighty percent of the area was covered by young trees, some trees already 15 feet, while just 20 percent in the unchanged area. In the coffee pulp-covered area, trees were also four times taller on average, soil samples were more nutrient-rich, and harmful grasses had been removed.
“It’s an amazing win-win situation,” says Rebecca Cole, a study author and ecologist from the University of Hawaii. “It takes forest hundreds of years to grow back. To have such tall trees in only two years is really amazing.”
Although Cole and Zahawi’s experiment with coffee pulp successfully improved forest growth, there are downsides.
“Coffee pulp is really smelly,” says Cole, who was raised on a coffee farm. “I am fine with the smell because I grew up with it. But a lot of people hate it.” It also attracts a lot of flies and other insects.
“There’s also some concern that it will have negative effects on watersheds areas. There can be some pollution,” says Cole. Coffee pulp contains nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus that can negatively affect rivers and lakes, causing extra algae growth, for example. The pulp may also contain traces of pesticides used during production.
【1】What’s the purpose of the experiment?
A．To add more nutrients to rain forests.
B．To compare the two deforested areas.
C．To test the effect of coffee pulp waste.
D．To plant young trees on deforested land.
【2】How is paragraph 2 developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By giving descriptions.
C．By following time order.
D．By making comparisons.
【3】What does the underlined word “downsides” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Shortcomings.
B．Failures.
C．Conditions.
D．Improvements.
【4】What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Coffee pulp waste is of great use.
B．Rain forests come back to life.
C．Coffee pulp waste pollutes rain forests.
D．Results of a coffee pulp waste test on rain forests.
29、Living life to its fullest
On the night of August 24, 2001, everything changed when my friend's car hit a wall with me inside. I lost most of my right leg, and I was left bleeding with several broken bones. At the hospital, although my body was weak, my mind was still very clear. I just kept telling myself to hold on. A week later, I made a deal with the doctors that once I could roll onto my side, I could leave. Two weeks later, I was allowed to go home.
Although I left the hospital, the fight was far from over. My left knee was badly injured, which resulted in different operations over the next few years.
And soon, more of my right leg had to be removed. This made it harder to wear my false leg, so I donated it to a nurse who couldn't afford one for herself. The joy of being able to provide this gift for someone else was greater than the happiness I felt on any day I was able to wear it myself.
People often tell me they're proud of me for staying strong. But in my mind, staying strong has always been my only choice. So, on the day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to always live life to the fullest. Now, I may not be able to do things the way everybody else does them, but still, I always find a way to do them. I soon settled into everyday life again, until one day I realized I wasn't living my life as fully as I wanted to.
After 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I wanted to help those around me.
In 2014, I even started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine and say, “Wow, she's beautiful, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability.” My dream is simple: to inspire every man, woman, and child into knowing and believing that they are beautiful just the way they are.

A.She was able to offer help to others.
B.She could wear her false leg again.
C.She had lived her life to the fullest.
D.She could do everyday things the same as everybody else.
【3】Why did the author begin modeling in 2014?
A.She wanted to be a famous magazine star.
B.She wanted to encourage others to be confident about themselves.
C.She wanted to challenge herself to be a speaker.
D.She wanted to prove that disabled people could also succeed.
【4】What was the author's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To stress the importance of having a dream.
B.To show how difficult the life is for disabled people.
C.To inspire others by sharing her past experiences.
D.To give advice to disabled people on how to make a living.

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need
I surveyed more than 30.000 people around the world. These people came from different cultures and were working in various industries. I asked them about how they relate to others: Do they prefer giving or taking?I found that many of them were somewhere in the middle. They fell into a third group, who do something called"matching".
If you are a" matcher," you try to keep a balance between giving and taking: "quid pro quo"--I’ll do something for you if you do something for me. That seems like a safe way to live your life. However, is it the most 【1】 approach on a daily basis?
【2】 the worst performers among those I surveyed- -regardless of their 【3】 or nationalities ---were the givers. The engineers who were the least productive did more favors than they received in return. They were always so busy doing other people’s job that they ran out of time and energy to get their own work done. In medical schools, the lowest grades went to students who said they “loved helping others.” In other words, the doctors you ought to trust are those who did the training with no【4】 to help anybody
However, it turns out that there is a【5】 here---thankfully. Although givers are often sacrificing themselves, they make contribution to their organization. There is a lot of evidence to support this. Research has looked at how often people give to their team or organization. The findings tells us that sharing knowledge and mentoring all boost the performance of the organization on every metric that can be 【6】:profits, customers【7】, employee retention(员工存留率) and so on. Even the operating expenses 【8】.
Givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve their teams, it 【9】seems they suffer along the way. Givers deserve more【10】. As to what it takes to build cultures where givers can get to succeed more often, it requires further research.
