26、】阅读理解。
My life began similarly to most children but I grew up without knowing what a father or mother was. No one was there to teach me how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I got into some bad habits and spent seven years as a boy on the street.
When I was 20, I was taken in a rehab clinic (康复诊所). Inside I met Bill, my counselor (辅导员). He taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving.
It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill invited me to go out for a walk to relax(放松) me. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I had no money when I got paid, and I offered to pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious, but loving way and said he was doing this because he wanted to. Then he said, "One day when you'll be around someone who will need a coffee, you'll be able to buy it for them. That's how you can pay me back."
I'm a primary school teacher now. My job is simple and I can buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to offer help to others.

27、It is said that honesty is the best policy. But we’re constantly disturbed by lies. Why is it important for us to avoid lying in turn? 【1】
Being honest is easier than lying. Have you ever told a lie and then forgotten the details about it? Sure, you may have been able to be safe for the time being, but lies have to be maintained with even larger lies. 【2】
You will be found out if you lie. 【3】 Your kids’ hamster dies and you say that it has run away. Ten years later they accidentally dig it up in the backyard and they’ll realize that you have lied. Trust in the fact that the truth always finds a way to rise to the surface.
The worst truth is better than the best lie. Sometimes a lie can cause much more worries, like telling kids that their grandmother “went to sleep” instead of letting them know that she had died. If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.
【4】 If someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again. Even if you spend the rest of your life sticking with honesty, the person you’ve lied to won’t ever have true faith in you again. There’s no such thing as a good lie. 【5】
A．Here are some reasons why reality may be cruel.
B．If you stick with the truth, you’ll always respond the same way.
C．The lie that you tell will unavoidably come back around to bite you.
D．You’ll have a hard time keeping track of it.
E．Once trust is broken, it can never be fully regained.
F．However perfect your lie is, someone will find out about it eventually.
G．Let’s take a look at a few reasons why being honest is preferable to lying.
28、 The chicken or the egg—which came first? It's probably one of the most commonly cited paradoxes — a chicken hatches from an egg, so the egg came first, right? But then what laid the egg? The two ideas seem contradictory, and that's exactly what a paradox is — a problem that seemingly has no definitive solution and can 't be logically solved.
And paradoxes don't just exist in philosophical debates but also in our daily lives. How can work be flexible but maintain structure? How can we switch off if we're working from home? Two contrasting ideas could cause people stress, but what if we accept the contradiction and change the way we look at it? This is what some experts call the 'paradox mindset'.
A paradox consists of two realities that exist at the same time—even though that seems impossible. If you embrace just one of those realities and ignore the other, it can cause problems. For example, embracing change may lead to burn—out, while embracing stability may lead to boredom. Some experts have found the acceptance of both realities and a willingness to embrace them can improve both creativity and productivity by allowing you to navigate a path through the contradictions.
A 1996 study of geniuses by Albert Rothenberg found that those thinkers spent time considering opposites and antitheses. Consider Einstein. The theory of relativity was born out of the paradox that something could be moving and stationary at the same time depending on perspective.
So, having a 'paradox mindset' and accepting the bigger picture may help you to better understand problems. It could also make you happier knowing that contradictions exist. As a result, it may lead you to improving your productivity and creativity. If it worked for Einstein, maybe it could be good for you too!
【1】The chicken— egg example in paragraph one is used to ________.
A．introduce the topic
B．draw a conclusion
C．make a comparison
D．explain a complicated theory
【2】 ________is not a paradox, according to the article.
A．The theory of relativity
B．To work at home and not answer phone calls from your boss
C．To lead a stable and boring life
D．To change constantly without feeling exhausted
【3】A 'paradox mindset 'means ________.
A．learning to appreciate contradictions
B．avoiding contrast ideas
C．having it all
D．coming to a dead end
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．You will feel much better if you embrace contradictions.
B．'Paradox mindset' only applies to geniuses
C．People will become less productive if they accept the bigger picture
D．Contradictions will make it more difficult for people to understand problems.
29、Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as nonorganic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and nonorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的)? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and nonorganic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
【1】What is probably the major concern(关注) of organic food consumers?
A．Price.
B．Safety.
C．Freshness.
D．Variety.
【2】What is the doctors’ suggestion?
A．Grow your own food.
B．Reduce the use of pesticides.
C．Make sure the food is clean.
D．Buy large companies’ products.
【3】Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?
A．It tastes better.
B．It is easier to grow.
C．It contains more fat.
D．It is more nutritious.

A．A health magazine.
B．A medical report.
C．A chemistry paper.
D．A menu of a restaurant.
