21、My friend James did some first-aid training at work last week, and he asked if I’d ever done the same. “Yes,” I said, ... “and no.” Because, yes, I’ve attended several CPR (心肺复苏) sessions over the years. 【1】 In fact, despite being shown all the key information at various points in my career, I don’t think I can remember any of it now.
What’s the problem? Every time I’ve had this type of training it’s been a perfectly good opportunity to learn. 【2】 you can do now—to make sure any training doesn’t go to waste.
Write questions as you learn. 【3】 This can trick your memory into thinking that it doesn’t have to work, because the information is all stored in your notebook. Instead, write yourself questions for the future.
【4】 Wait a day, then see how much you still know. If it’s hard to remember, but just about possible with effort, then that’s perfect. You need that little bit of struggle to start imprinting information onto your brain.
Keep coming back. Put a note in your diary to test yourself in a week, then ten days after that, then a month on... leaving longer gap s between checks. 【5】
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself onto yet another CPR course. But this time I’m determined to do it right. Remember that it’s the next day when the real training begins.
A.Challenge your recall later.
B.Test yourself once you start.
C.Don’t waste time making notes.
D.But no, I don’t exactly feel “trained” to save lives.
E.It provides a shortcut to instant and permanent knowledge.
F.And I’ve always come away with a wealth of information.
G.Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.
22、If you follow luxury resorts (度假地) or travel influencers on Instagram, odds are good that you’ve seen at least one “floating breakfast”.
In case you’re not familiar with them, here’s what to know: they’re your typical hotel room service breakfast-think toast, fruit, coffee and the like — served in a pool instead of in bed. Usually, they’re placed on large plates or colorful baskets, then accessorized (配饰) with bright tropical flowers to make them even more photogenic.
These breakfasts are particularly popular in Asia and the Pacific, especially at warm-weather private flat resorts in places like Thailand, Fiji and the Maldives.
Nearly everyone agrees that the trend began in Bali, although no specific resort seems to get the credit for coming up with the idea first.
While these breakfasts have become more common on resort menus over the last five years, the coronavirus pandemic has made them more popular than ever as hotel guests are avoiding buffets and public dining rooms.
“Across the course of the past year, in-suite dining has become extremely popular, especially for those seeking comfort in the safety and their room,” Jann Hess, general manager at Amanjiwo in Bali. “The floating breakfast is a popular choice.”
After all, the floating breakfast needs a pool to float in — and a private pool is a much better choice than a shared pool where a splashing (飞溅的) kid might make the whole thing topple over.
Though the gorgeous colors and dramatic plating of floating breakfasts make them perfect for social media, asking people to stand in the pool before they’ve fully woken up or had caffeine seems like a potential recipe for disaster.
James Booth, a Sydney-based reporter, tells that, for him, the special meal worked better in concept. Though Booth had pre-scheduled a specific time for the breakfast to arrive, he ended up oversleeping about 20 minutes, meaning he’d missed the optimal window for consuming it.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.What “floating breakfast” is like.
B.Why “floating breakfast” is popular.
C.What you should know in luxury resorts.
D.How we can enjoy “floating breakfast”.
【2】Why does the coronavirus pandemic make “floating breakfast” more popular?
A.It provides a more healthy diet.
B.People avoid meeting in groups.
C.It saves a lot of money to eat out.
D.People wants to try the new trend.
【3】What does the underlined word “optimal” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Small.
B.Broad.
C.Open.
D.Most ideal.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A.How floating breakfast develops
B.Two sides of floating breakfast
C.Floating breakfast, a popular trend
D.Reasons why floating breakfast comes up
23、 I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own—and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.
As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.
Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist”.
An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks.
But I had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.
And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer__________.
A.was deeply moved by the botanist’s talk
B.was amazed by what he was hearing
C.was not in a comfortable situation
D.behaved politely and properly
【2】Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?
A.Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.
B.Listening carefully to what another guest says.
C.Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.
D.Giving attention to all those in attendance.
【3】The underlined expression “rapt attention” in Paragraph 4 is closest in the meaning to__________.
A.full understanding B.strong interest
C.great uncertainty D.little curiosity
【4】According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?
A.Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.
B.Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.
C.Promising a future meeting for more communication.
D.Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.
24、
At age 12, Keegan Sobilo of New Baltimore carefully tucks his legs and arms into a fire suit, pulls on a helmet and climbs into a race car that exceeds 80 mph. He has been doing this since age 8.
“ At first, I was scared to death. I was like, 'Let's do bowling or swimming. ' It's still very scary.But he knows what he's doing. Your heart goes out on that track every time he goes out there," said his mother Hillary Sobilo.
"The sixth-grader always wears pajamas to the track every night and takes them off when he puts his race clothes on. He's been doing that for the last four years. That's his trademark,” said Tim Phillips, his crew chief. The first time he wore his train pajamas to the track, Keegan went from last place to ninth place. He decided they brought luck. Since then, he has won a series of championships.
Passion for cars runs in the family. Keegan's father is a design mechanic at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. He knows what it means to have seats and roll cages built to fit his son's body."What I see in Keegan is passion, like how I feel about car restoration. But for him, everything has to align itself. I tell my son you have to be the perfect package. Winning races every weekend is not the only key. More importantly, you have to have the right name, you have to look the correct way, speak the correct way, and act the correct way. Then the rest of it is really luck, like the stock market. If you don't put yourself out there,you'll never hit it big."
While Keegan's classmates play basketball and volleyball,Keegan is at the Birch Run track-practicing, qualifying and racing until 10 p.m. or 2 a.m. While many children spend time playing video games, Keegan runs race simulation training with his joystick after school.
"The kid is cool.It was like having a grandson. We showed respect to each other. And he takes it very seriously," said competitor Mike Todd, 69 , of Galesburg, Michigan." He's an older soul in a young man's body. I'd like to see him make it big. He's got the willpower."
