21、The Wake-up Call
“What’s that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.
“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.
“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”
“What’s a wake-up call？” She frowned (皱眉). I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.
“Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.
“Probably someone older,” I said, “and could use some money.”
Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.
“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.
“Wait!” she shrieked.
“I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”
I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”
Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I Googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a check.”
Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymond’s call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how he’d wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.
Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush and hustle of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.
【1】The author laughed at the mail because ________.
A. it was printed roughly
B. the drawing in it was poor
C. the wake-up call cost too much
D. the service it offered was outdated
【2】What did the author want to do with the flyer at first?
A. Throw it away.
B. Let Genie read it.
C. Find out who sent it.
D. Keep it away from Genie.
【3】What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?
A. Her own childhood experience.
B. The less fortunate wake-up man.
C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.
D. The information she found on Google.
【4】What might “other things” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Bravery and curiosity.
B. Confidence and patience.
C. Honesty and humor.
D. Generosity and kindness.
22、 Though China has increasingly adopted Western influences, the traditional family structure is still highly valued and holds a vital position, in Chinese culture. Both traditional and modern Chinese families have similar values and morals to one another.【1】.
In the traditional Chinese family, the man is very important. 【2】. At the same time, he is given all the decision-making power when it comes to his wife, family and other family members. He is also responsible for taking care of and paying for his children. In modern families, the family members consult elders about important decisions, but the father no longer has the final say with regard to his adult children's lives.
Traditional mothers usually stay at home to take care of the home , the children , and the rest of the family. 【3】 .However, they still rely on their husbands or fathers for financial support at some point in their lives.
In many Asian cultures , the elders of the family are respected for their wisdom; In both traditional and modern families, elders are taken care of and looked up to by the rest of the family. 【4】 . Even in the modern households, many grandparents live with their children.
【5】 . But the family structure and the importance of family values remain a focus. Families are still honored and respected, whether you live in traditional, rural environment, or the modern, urban city.
A．He gains his independence from his family

23、Songbirds and coffee farms in Central America. Ladybugs and soybean fields in the Midwest. These are well-known, win-win stories of how conserving natural habitat can benefit farmers.
But an international team of scientists found that natural habitat surrounding farm fields is not always an effective pest-control tool for farmers worldwide. Their analysis, led by researchers at UC Davis, appears in the latest edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Among the dozens of scientists who contributed their field research databases to the analysis are two UC Santa Cruz professors of environmental studies: Stacy Philpott and Deborah Letourneau.
“【1】 When you have more natural habitat around farm fields you get more enemies of the crop pests, and these enemies will control the pests and provide a benefit to growers,” said lead author Daniel Karp, an assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology.
【2】 Together, they compiled the largest pest-control dataset of its kind, including132 studies from more than 6,700 sites in 31 countries worldwide — from California farmlands to tropical cacao plantations and European wheat fields.
Surprisingly, the results were highly variable across the globe. While many of the studies showed surrounding natural habitat does indeed help farmers control pests, just as many showed negative effects on crop yields. 【3】
“This paper isn’t telling farmers to clear habitat by any means,” Karp said. “There may be a lot of other benefits from natural habitat, such as pollination or carbon sequestration. But we need to be forthright about knowing when habitat conservation will be advantageous in terms of pests and when other means of pest control are needed.”
【4】 Karp and his team of 153 co-authors have made it publicly available, opening the door for further scientific insights.
“This shows the power of collaboration in scientific research,” noted Philpott. “Many of us were surprised by the findings. Now, we will be able to continue the investigation, learn more, and hopefully be able to predict when surrounding habitat helps control pests and when it doesn’t.”
A．To test that assumption, Karp organized an international team of ecologists, economists and practitioners.
B．The strength of the findings is rooted in part in the size of the pest-control database.
C．Ecologists consider maintaining noncrop habitat to be a win–win for farmers and for conservation.
D．The analysis indicates that there are no one-size-fits-all recommendations for growers about natural habitat and pests.
E．A widespread assumption existed among ecologists.
F．We hope to move toward more sustainable land and pest management.
24、Criticism hurts even when it’s constructive.【1】 Do you pretend you didn’t hear or do you argue back to defend yourself? In fact, there are actually other ways of handling criticism! The next time someone gives you feedback, try doing the following things instead.
Don’t react immediately.
Getting angry can happen really fast. Sometimes all it takes is a misplaced word or the wrong one. While it’s normal to feel this way, try to cool off and stay calm.【2】After all, you don’t want to say something you’ll end up regretting later!
Assess the criticism.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to take a quick step back and assess the criticism: who said it and why? 【3】Or are they just trying to be mean? Taking a step back allows you to determine if perhaps the criticism has some real value, you hadn’t seen before or if it’s better to just brush off the comment.
Don’t take it personally.
Remember that sometimes people do things not to attack you personally, but to vent anger or frustration. So calm down and be as understanding as you can.【4】Meanwhile, let the other person know that their criticism was uncalled for.
【5】
If the criticism does actually have some truth to it, then the best thing to do is figure out how you can use it to improve. Get straight to the point and ask the person which part of your work they’d improve and how. That way you not only show you are interested in doing things better, but you are also involving the person who criticized you.
A．So how do you react?
B．Use it to your advantage.
C．Polish your work carefully.
D．How about negative feedback catching us by surprise?
E．Give yourself some time to process what you’ve heard before reacting.
F．Are they trying to help you, but did not communicate their point of view nicely?
G．Choosing to take the right path is doing yourself a favor and not getting angry.
25、 Yesterday, my kids and I were in the costume store, getting ready for Halloween, and they saw a Donald Trump mask. “Is he a good guy or a bad guy?” they asked.

26、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。
Years ago, I became the secretary of Jack, a strict and bad-tempered man.
One day, Jack threw the papers on my desk-his eyebrows knit into a straight line as he glared at me. “What’s wrong?” I asked. He jabbed (戳) a finger at the proposal. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, turning on his heels and leaving me in great anger. How dare he treat me like that, I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar, something I thought I was paid to do.
It’s not that I hadn’t been warned. Other women who had worked my job before me called Jack names I couldn’t repeat. One coworker took me aside the first day. “He’s personally responsible for two different secretaries leaving the firm,” she whispered.
As the weeks went by, I grew to look down upon Jack. His actions made me question much that I believed in, such as turning the other cheek and loving your enemies.
One day another of his rude behaviors left me in tears. I stormed into his office, prepared to lose my job if needed, but not before I let the man know how I felt. I opened the door and Jack glanced up. “What?” he asked abruptly.
Suddenly I knew what I had to do. After all, he deserved it. I sat across from him and said calmly, “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong, and I can’t allow it to continue.”
Jack smiled nervously and leaned back in his chair. I closed my eyes briefly. God help me, I prayed. “I want to make you a promise. Whatever you do, I will be a friend,” I said. “I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness. You deserve that. Everybody does.” I slipped out of the chair and closed the door behind me.
Jack avoided me the rest of the week.
