26、 Social distancing isn’t easy for anyone, but it can be especially tricky when many people live together. 【1】 Find out how to explore this new experience.
Create a schedule. If you want your relationship to survive, you need to have a schedule that allows partners to spend time together. 【2】 Setting an alarm, getting up together, doing chores, keeping the house tidy, having some physical activity and spending time alone are all important.
Plan for alone time. Be open and honest with each other about your emotional needs. 【3】 If you need attention, ask for that, too. While it can be hard to provide, time in the form of a short walk alone or a hot bath in a bathroom is absolutely necessary. Constantly being around anyone, including your partner can be stressful.
Make time for exercise. Fitness is good for your body. It also offers big benefits for your mind and overall well being. There are a lot of emotions and uncertainty right now and just doing some simple movements will get the blood flowing through your body and give you a lot of energy. 【4】
Get outdoors. You need a minimum distance of six feet from others. 【5】 We are experiencing the greatest life indoors further separating ourselves from what our bodies and brains need to survive: nature. Spending time walking outdoors increases focus and energy levels...and more.
A.If you need time alone, voice it.
B.Here’s how to be left alone if you live with your family.
C.That could cause or worsen a sense of disconnection and loneliness.
D.A schedule is vital because it will help people to still feel productive.
E.Even if you’re wildly in love with the people, you need your space and time.
F.Whether you join an online class or go for a jog on your own, you’ll enjoy the benefits.
G.Taking a walk in nature in one of the most ignored yet most powerful things we can do.
27、When you set a foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don’ t talk to me” may run through your mind. I’ ve also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is talk with someone, especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?
Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to actually do in reality.
Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.

29、 The market for ride sharing is starting to look like a pie-eating competition where the prize is more pie.
Lift went public on March 29, and the stock (股票) almost immediately went into a quick drop as money-providers noticed that the company hadn’t made any money yet and didn’t have any clear plans to do so.
On April 11,Umber went public in the stock market too. The company said it commands more than 50 percent of the ride-hailing (叫车服务) market in America and Europe and had an operating loss of S3 billion last year, about three times as much as Lift lost.
Think about that: those two companies lost nearly $4 billion in a single year transporting people.
What's happening in the ride-sharing market is special in a number of ways.
First, it offers what is called “network effects”: The more riders you have, the easier it is to attract and send drivers, and the more drivers you have, the more riders you will attract. Markets that display network effects prefer to benefit a few players, and possibly only one.
Second, ride sharing has low changing costs. It's simple lo get both apps on your phones, and many riders and drivers do just that, which means fierce competition over every single ride.
There are only two ways that the price war can end. Either Umber and Lift come to some son of agreement to slop selling their services below cost, or at least one of the companies may need to die. And so the pie-eating competition may continue forever, until everyone bursts. There may finally be no route to money for these companies, no payoff tor money-providers. The number of major ride-sharing companies may not be two or even one, but none.
【1】What do Umber and Lift have in common?
A.Going public in stock market.
B.Enjoying a financially bright future.
C.Entering for the pie-making competition.
D.Benefiting the money-providers.
【2】What do we know about "network effects"?
A.More network companies will survive.
B.More riders will attract more driven.
C.More players will crowd the market
D.More drivers will give up the use of apps.
【3】What is one way out to end the price war?
A.Arriving at a win-win agreement.
B.Putting more money into the market.
C.Selling services below cost.
D.Having free access to either company.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Riding-hailing market, we’re coining.
B.Umber or Lift, who cares?
C.Locked in a price war only two ways out.
D.The prize for a pie-eating competition.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?
The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.
Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.
From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
