21、How to Avoid the Worst Cold-Weather Packing Mistakes
Yes, you can definitely blame winter clothes for your overstuffed(塞得过满的)suitcase. After all, warm clothing takes up a lot more room than summer T-shirts and shorts. To make matters worse, you’ve got to pack for overheated restaurants and freezing outdoor conditions. 【1】 . Here are some winter-packing mistakes we learned the hard way, and tips you need.
【2】
Your shoes face a big challenge in the winter. They need to be: insulated, waterproof, and warm; provide great traction in case of ice; be able to withstand salt; and be comfortable to walk in. So, your sneakers aren't going to cut it. Just remember to wear your heavier snow boots on the plane; otherwise, they'll take up half your suitcase space.
Packing the wrong materials
【3】, It absorbs moisture and sweat, which will make you cold and keep you freezing. You can replace cotton with wool, as wool is naturally odor-resistant and breathable.
Leaving behind sunglasses
Since you're not headed to the beach, you might forget to pack your sunglasses. The sun can shine brightly on freezing days too tough, so be able to pack yours. 【4】.
Not bringing medicine
Cold and flu cases rise during the winter, and while you definitely don't plan on getting sick while traveling, you should be prepared in case it does happen. Make sure you've packed medication for upset stomach, fever relief, body aches, and congestion, 【5】. Just get travel-sized versions of you go-to drugs.
A. But we're here to help
B. Choosing the right shoes
C. Wearing the wrong shoes
D. Cotton is a terrible choice for the winter
E. Better be a pair which is easy to pack and hard to break
F. You don't have to travel with the whole medicine chest though
G. Also throw some sunscreen in there as you can get sunburned in winter
22、 I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently—one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is the looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So you reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists—everyone—is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
【1】What does the writer think of the reporter?
A.Optimistic. B.Imaginative. C.Ambitious. D.Proud.
【2】What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A.Finding the news value of his stories. B.Giving him financial support.
C.Helping him to find issues. D.Improving his good ideas.
【3】Who probably wrote the article?
A.An editor. B.An artist. C.A reporter. D.A reader.
【4】The article aims to remind editors that they should ________.
A.keep their best reporters at all costs
B.give more freedom to their reporters
C.be aware of their reporters’professional development
D.appreciate their reporters’working styles and attitudes
【5】We can infer that this article is ________.
A.a book review B.a research report C.a letter D.a piece of news
23、I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽)or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization." "More than anything else in my life, "the professor told the reporter with finality," these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信)of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
【1】On heating the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought .
A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
【2】The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means .
A. firmly B. clearly
C. proudly D. pleasantly
【3】The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to .
A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word
【4】The writer provides two book lists to .
A. show how he developed his point of view
B. tell his reading experience at high school
C. introduce the two persons' reading methods
D. explain that he read many books at high school
24、 Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate(犹豫). He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend shouted after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform(站台) so that bystanders could hold her by the legs and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness(知觉), felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown - just as he had been seconds after the rescue(营救), which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,” she explained.
【1】What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A．She had run a long way.
B．She felt hot in the subway.
C．She had done a 1ot of work.
D．She had donated blood the night before.
【2】Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A．Because they would miss their train.
B．Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
【3】How did Frank save Lisa?
A．By lifting her to the platform.
B．By helping her rise to her feet.
C．By pulling her along the ground.
D．By dragging her away from the edge.
【4】When did Lisa become conscious again?
A．When the train was leaving.
B．After she was back on the platform.
C．After the police and fire officials came.
D．When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
【5】The passage is intended to _____________
A．warn us of the danger in the subway
B．show us how to save people in the subway
C．tell us about a subway rescue
D．report a traffic accident
