28、 It’s been a long, wet winter. As thousands of people died from coronavirus disease, improving our immune system has rarely felt more urgent.
“When you come into contact with a virus you’ve never met before,” says Sheena Cruickshank, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, “you’ve got various barriers such as skin, microbiome and so on to try to stop it getting into your body.” If a virus breaks these defenses, it has to deal with our white blood cells, or immune cells.
“However, our immune systems may have blind spots, where our immune response might won’t recognize certain bugs,” says Cruickshank, “Personally, my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds.” But a healthy lifestyle will secure solid defenses.
Cruickshank recommends “eating a more varied diet with lots of high-fiber foods”. Being vegetarian isn’t a necessity for microbiome health, but the more plant foods you consume, the better.
To be immunologically fit, you need to be physically fit. “White blood cells can be quite inactive,” Says Prof Arne Akbar, the president of the British Society for Immunology, “Exercise mobilizes them by increasing your blood flow, so they can do their security jobs.” Apart from this, exercise can reduce stress, which is next on our list of immune-improving priorities. Stress hormones(激素) can weaken immune function. If you have had it, the virus never completely goes away. “During periods of stress,” says Akbar, “it can reactivate and then we get sick.”
Exercising and eating well will have the likely knock-on effect of helping you sleep better, which is a bonus because a tired body is more sensitive to bugs. “If you’ve got a regular sleep pattern, you have natural body rhythms and everything’s fine. If they go out of order, then you’ve got problems.” says Akbar.
【1】According to paragraph 2, when the barriers fail in preventing a virus entering your body, _________ will come up next.
A.skin B.blood
C.microbiomes D.immune cells
【2】Why does the author mention by “my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds”?
A.To emphasize that our immune system is not always reliable.
B.To tell us that Cruickshank doesn’t lead a healthy life.
C.To stress that a healthy lifestyle helps improving immune system.
D.To indicate that catching a cold is not a terrible thing.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Microbiomes B.White blood cells
C.People doing exercise D.Stress hormones
【4】This text mainly introduces _________ ways of improving our immune system.
A.2 B.3
C.4 D.5
【5】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How to boost your immune system to avoid coronavirus?
B.Why does coronavirus have a bad effect on our health?
C.Coronavirus: Improving our immune system
D.Immune system: the best way to deal with coronavirus
29、 This happened several years ago when I was still quite new in the city. I was doing my grocery shopping one day, and when I wanted to pay for my things, it turned out that I didn't have enough funds on my bank account for the things I’d chosen. It seemed something had been paid from my account that I had forgotten about.
I was so embarrassed and ashamed. There was a queue forming behind me. I became very flustered(慌乱的)and very close to tears. I tried to quickly pick some things out that weren’t so urgent for me to buy. The cashier(收银员), a patient, elderly man, saw how upset I was and gently said, “Please, don't worry about picking out groceries to leave behind and you can pay me back for the difference another day.” I immediately refused since I didn't know him, but he insisted he would pay for the difference because he also had daughters and sometimes life could be hard. I thanked him greatly while I packed my things. I asked him what his name was so I could bring the money another day. He said, “Just ask for Baba(Father)and everyone calls me that here.”
I came back a few days later with the money, a thank-you card, and some homemade cookies. I asked a young salesman if he'd seen the old man and he immediately told me, “Oh! That must be Baba!” It was clear that he was very familiar with him. I explained what had happened and he nodded. "Yes, that is something he would do. He is a bit of an extra father to all of us working here, too. He isn't working today but I will make sure he gets this."
Thank you, Baba, for looking out for me that day, and for taking good care of your coworkers, too! I think it is people like Baba that make the world beautiful.

【2】What did the author try to do to solve her problem?
A.To make herself calm down.
B.To give up some high-priced things.
C.To remove some items less necessary.
D.To take out all the goods she had chosen.
【3】Which of the following probably can best describe the old cashier?
A.Shy and honest. B.Talented and friendly.
C.Generous and hardworking. D.Kind and warm-hearted.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Every job is meaningful. B.We need people like “Baba".
C.Giving is a kind of happiness. D.An embarrassing shopping experience.
30、For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between ________ countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I ________ and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. ________, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for ________ it.

Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the ________ is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the ________ of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered a(n) ________—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command ________. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they ________ more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

Good to hear from you again. And good timing. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who’s ________ one of those rough periods at work. I wish I had better advice.
You asked, “How do you define success?” What a ________ question!
In 2005, I made only $22,500 a year in Rocky Mount. Another two sportswriters, Travis and Jeff, in their mid-20s too, had come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount.

We all left there within a year, as ________. Travis eventually ________ a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,00 Twitter ________.
Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. “I didn’t ________ it then, but honestly, when I ________, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”
What is success? Buddy, I don’t know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curve ball. Now it’s running a tenth of a mile ________ than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers ________ me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice ________, so is it a failure? I don’t know.
College students ask me for ________ every now and then Maybe that’s success. But last night an editor at a publication I’ve been dying to write for ________ with the murderous words “This just isn’t the right ________ for us”.
Maybe it’s beyond work. In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while ________ to his wheelchair. To another person, ________ success might be a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet. You get the ________.

As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.
I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.
For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.
They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.
At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.
The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

41、”阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为120左右。
My fiance(未婚夫)and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our funds were limited,and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent recommended a house in particular..Although her description sounded wonderful,the price was beyond our range,so we declined.But she kept urging us to have a look at least.
We finally did and it was love at first sight:It was Our Home,small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners,a nice elderly couple,we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home.As perfect as it was,the price remained too high for us.But every day,we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.
Days later,we made a(n)offer-far below the asking price.Surprisingly,they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could afford,but far less than the original asking price.
The next day,we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.Even so,we decided to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars 'less than' the other buyer's bid.We knew it,but we had to try.Nobody knew if we could get it.
Paragraph 1:We went to the owners' home after we made our final offer.The other buyer came to visit the owners too.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:The owner looked at us and said,"I want to sell my house to you!"
