21、Sandi Patty has been a name synonymous (同义的) with Gospel music because of her singing ability since she released her first album in 1979.
Patty’s newest book. The Voice, takes a deep dive into parts of her life she’s kept private for years. Surprisingly, The Voice is not primarily concerned with Patty’s singing voice. Patty was always a talented singer. However, she struggled to find her inner voice and speak up for herself. “I was a shy kid. Words were hard for me,” Patty said.
One of the reasons why Patty found it so difficult to use her voice was a traumatic childhood experience. At age six, she was abused by a friend, an experience she opened up for the first time in the book.
She is sharing the story of her experience now, hoping it will help other people feel less alone. “Feeling alone keeps everybody silent about the tough times in our lives, so we think we’re the only ones,” Patty said. She wrote in The Voice that she felt like it was her job to make everyone feel better.
Friendships were essential for helping Patty find the courage to speak up. They reminded her that she didn’t need to make others feel better because the people she loved didn’t doubt she cared for them.
Friends and family were crucial for helping Patty confront another struggle she faced—shame. She felt unpleasant for insecurities about her weight and her divorce. “I’ve heard it explain that guilt tells us we have done something wrong and shame says we are wrong,” Patty said.
“I want people to know that their stories and their voices matter,” Patty said. “We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn’t need to define us.”
【1】What does Patty’s newest book focus on?
A．Her singing ability.
B．Her dream of success.
C．Her advice on singing well.
D．Her private experiences.
【2】What does the underlined word “traumatic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Bitter.
B．Relaxing.
C．Valuable.
D．Practical.
【3】How did Patty’s friends influence her?
A．They helped her get rid of loneliness.
B．They witnessed her success.
C．They inspired her to act bravely.
D．They helped her find out problems.
【4】What do Patty’s words in the last paragraph intend to show?
A．The need to be independent.
B．The importance of relieving our pain.
C．The necessity of accepting our life.
D．The meaning of learning about ourselves.
22、Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens or staying in prams, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The new guidelines on physical activity, sedentary (久坐的) behaviour and sleep for children under 5 years of age were developed by a WHO panel of experts. They assessed the effects of inadequate (不足的) sleep on young children, and time spent sitting watching screens or restrained (被限制) in chairs and prams. They also reviewed evidence around the benefits of increased activity levels.
Failure to meet current physical activity recommendations is responsible for more than 5 million deaths globally each year across all age groups. Currently, over 23% of adults and 80% of adolescents are not sufficiently physically active. If healthy physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep habits are established early in life, this helps shape habits through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
“What we really need to do is bring back play for children,” says Dr Juana Willumsen, who focuses on childhood obesity and physical activity. “This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while protecting sleep.”
The pattern of overall 24-hour activity is key: replacing sedentary screen time with more active play, while making sure young children get enough good-quality sleep. Quality time spent in interactive non-screen-based activities with a caregiver, such as reading, storytelling, singing and puzzles, is very important for child development.
The important interactions between physical activity, sedentary hehaviour and adequate sleep time, and their impact on physical and mental health and well-being, were fully recognized, which called for clear guidance on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in young children.
Applying the recommendations in these guidelines during the first five years of life will contribute to children’s motor and cognitive development and lifelong health.
【1】What’s the purpose of the WHO issuing new guidelines?
A．To help parents take better care of children.
B．To make sure children grow up healthy.
C．To reduce children’s time spent on TV.
D．To keep children physically active.
【2】What does Dr Juana Willumsen intend to tell us?
A．Children need more time to play and sleep.
B．Sitting too much leads to children’s poor health.
C．It is important for children to have healthy food.
D．Parents should play with their children more often.
【3】Which activity may be beneficial to children’s development according to the text?
A．Reading on their own.
B．Watching educational TV programs.
C．Searching for puzzles online.
D．Joining the singing club.
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A．The World Health Organization has issued new guidelines
B．To grow up healthy children need to sit less and play more
C．Some good habits that will lead to children’s lifelong health
D．5 million die globally each year because of unhealthy lifestyle
23、To: David Rodgers
From: Mavis Chen
Subject: getting back our old subscribers
Since the marketing meeting yesterday, it occurred to me that we might be ignoring one potentially important source of subscribers. We have focused so intently on how to expand the appeal of our product to groups that have never used it before that I’m afraid we may have overlooked the obvious； we may have forgotten that there is a whole group of interested people who have used it and stopped for one reason or another.
This target group has particularly good potential because it consists of readers who have demonstrated interest in the subject matter we present. Their interest is not something we have to work to stimulate. I suggest that making a maximum effort to win these readers back will be more effective on a percentage basis than pursuing some of the other groups we’ve identified.
Since these readers quit using our product once, they were most likely dissatisfied with some aspect of our presentation or our pricing. Our new product will be vastly improved over the old version and is priced more competitively. We need to do everything possible to get those points across, perhaps by sending them a free issue and by asking for their opinions on how we might improve it even further. This could be in the form of a very short survey, either included with the free issue or accessible online.
If you think this idea has merit and might be willing to authorize it, let’s discuss it further when you’ve got a few spare minutes. I have a rough draft of the survey questions I could show you.
【1】What kind of product is the writer referring to in the memo?
A.A web-based information service. B.A magazine.
C.A consulting service. D.Computer software.
【2】Why is the writer confident that they can win back their old customers?
A.Their product has no competition.
B.Their product has changed dramatically.
C.They have reduced the price of their product
D.The need for their product has increased.
【3】What does the writer want to do?
A.Start her plan immediately. B.Wait for input from the survey.
C.Get Mr. Rodgers’ approval. D.Present her idea in the next meeting.
24、 FLEA MARKETS (跳蚤市场)
For the best selection of flea market product, get there as soon as it opens on the first day of the market. If it’s open Saturday and Sunday all year round, go early on Saturday morning. For seasonal or annual flea markets, go early in the season, preferably the first weekend. You’ll have first pick of the goods the vendors (小贩) gathered during the year.
For the biggest discounts, it’s just the opposite. Shop mid to late afternoon during the final day, or days, of the flea market. The vendors are tired and ready to get home –and they might just cut you some fantastic deals if you ask. You may have to haggle a bit, but you’ll probably go home with some bargains, especially if you’re buying large, heavy pieces the tired sellers don’t want to pack and load.
YARD SALES
Yard sale shopping is a lot like flea market shopping. You’ll find the best selections when the sale first starts. Go early on the first day of the sale. If the sale starts at 7 am, be there a few minutes before – but not so early that you’re labeled an early bird. Don’t wait until Saturday to visit a yard sale that starts on Friday.
Like flea market vendors, yard sale sellers aren’t as willing to haggle early in the morning, but the prices are usually pretty low to start. Don’t wait until the afternoon bargain hours to shop at yard sales.
THRIFT STORES (旧货店)
For the best thrift store selections, ask the employees when the new product arrives. It could be a certain day of the week or a certain time each day. Find out, and then plan your visits for those days and times.
Thrift store prices are usually low, so you might want to snatch things up as soon as you find them. If the prices seem unusually high, ask about their sale structure. Thrift stores don’t always state their sales clearly and sometimes the sales are confusing. Find out when they discount the items that interest you. That’s when you’ll find the best deals.
【1】As for the biggest discounts in the Flea Markets, you’d better______.
A.get there about 6:50 am on Friday
B.go early on Saturday morning
C.ask the host when the new product arrives
D.buy items late afternoon during the last day
【2】The best Thrift Store selections should be taken_______.
A.after the sale starts B.as soon as you find them
C.when new items arrive D.before the afternoon bargain begins
【3】The text is most probably intended for ______.
A.antique collectors B.economical shoppers
C.product vendors D.wealthy people
