26、 My poor mother would be the first to tell you that having a food scientist for a daughter was not always easy.
One weekend visit home,I stood in her kitchen and surveyed her food preparation techniques.
“You know,”I said,“there’s no nutrition left when you overcook the vegetables like that.”
She smiled at me patiently and said,“Oh my!It’s a miracle(奇迹)that after all these years,my kid even survived at all!”
Survive we did.Mom’s meals were simple but well-balanced.My sisters and I grew up with a variety of food on our family table.When it came to vegetables,we ate almost everything—from green chilies to turnip greens.
On school mornings,Mom switched on our bedroom light to silently tell us it was time to get up.Then she’d rush to the kitchen to make a nourishing(有营养的)breakfast we’d eat before heading out the door.
In the summer,Mom always had fresh tomatoes and plenty of zucchini in her garden and on the dinner table.And I learned to love green beans from visits to our cousins.My aunt would sit me on the back porch(门廊)and have me take the ends off fresh beans.Years later I would learn that kids are more likely to accept foods when they are involved with them in some way.
One thing surprised me at the time but became very clear after I had a child myself.My mother LOVED it when I took the initiative(主动)to prepare a meal.She went back to work when I was in high school,so I was often the first one home.One day,after I’d finished homework and taken care of the dogs and horses,I decided to try a recipe from one of Mom’s cookbooks.
It wasn’t a perfect meal.But when she got home and saw the table set and dinner ready,she was so happy.That was an enjoyable moment for me.
Now I understand that food is only one way we receive nutrition.We also need soul food,and my mom did a good job with that.She taught me humility(谦逊),thankfulness and unconditional love.
I hope I could cook a meal for her this year.I’d even try not to overcook the vegetables.

27、Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
【1】What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage?
A．Give enough likes.
B．Post to promote sales.
C．Recommend some comments.
D．Design advertisements.
【2】What makes consumer rights groups feel worried?
A．Sponsored ads content.
B．Ads with caption on posts.
C．The unclear motivations of the posts.
D．The increasingly growing number of audiences.
【3】How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer?
A．Annoyed.
B．Delighted.
C．Ambitious.
D．Depressed.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title?
A．Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B．To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C．We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D．Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
28、 In the 1940s, Lena Horne was the first AfricanAmerican in Hollywood to sign a longterm contract with a major movie studio. Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant. During this period, AfricanAmerican actors were mostly limited to playing servants or African natives.
But this refusal also limited her movie career. Horne was generally only offered the role of a nightclub singer. Her characters did not communicate with white characters in these movies. This way, her part could be cut from the version of the movie that played in Southern States.
Lena Horne later wrote that the movie producers did not make her into a servant, but they did not make her into anything else, either. Lena Horne once said that World War Two helped make her a star. She was popular with both black and white servicemen. She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops. During one event, she noted that German prisoners of war were permitted to sit closer to the stage than black soldiers. These experiences led to Lena Horne's work in the Civil Rights Movement.
She protested (抗议) racial separation at the hotels where she performed. She took action so that she and her musicians would be permitted to stay in those hotels. Black musicians at the time generally stayed in black neighborhoods. Lena Horne also sang at civil rights gatherings. She took part in the March on Washington protest in 1963. It was during this event that Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech.
Lena Horne performed in a strong and expressive way. One expert said she was not warm and amiable like white female singers at the time. Instead, she was a fierce black woman.
【1】Lena Horne refused to play the role of a servant probably because it________.
A.meant she was treated unfairly
B.wouldn't make her famous
C.would make her homesick
D.wouldn't help her make money
【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells about Lena Horne's ________.
A.effort she put into music
B.hope for a bright future
C.effort against racial separation
D.relationship with Martin Luther King
【3】What does the underlined word “amiable” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Brave. B.Boring.
C.Ugly. D.Friendly.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays, most citizens especially those who live in the metropolis(大都市), have to face the traffic jam everyday, which has become one of the major problems in the city.
There are many reasons for traffic jams. At first, because of the fact that the vehicles keep giving off harmful gases during traffic jams, the earth is becoming warmer and warmer. In addition, there is no doubt that traffic jams will affect the effectiveness of work because people have to spend much more time on the way to offices than necessary, and their work will be delayed. Apart from this, traffic jams might give rise to more traffic accident, which becomes a great danger to people's life.
Traffic jams are the result of the cars. Why? Personally I think the first reason may be the remoteness(遥远) of people's workplaces. As a result, people have to choose a tool rather than walking to work. Being flexible and relatively convenient, private cars become very attractive choices. What’s more, owning a private car, especially in some developing countries, is a symbol of wealth and high social positions. In some developed countries it is also the symbol of independence and maturity( 成 熟 ). Anyway, owning and driving private cars are regarded by many people as basic human rights.
Undoubtedly, traffic jams must be dealt with properly. In my view, spending more money on public transportation systems may be an effective means. Needless to say, policies which encourage people to put these systems to full use, for example, giving certain subsidies( 补 贴 ), are necessary. In the meantime, measures to restrict(限制) the use of private cars, such as improving the taxes on cars or petrol should be taken.
