26、 These days,American children usually can receive about$800 each year in tips,according to the American Institute of Public Accountants. Most of American parents tie the tips to the completion of certain daily work.
“Kids are tipped for two main purposes,”says Steven Mintz,a historian at the University of Texas at Austin.“First,to give them a sense of independence—to buy candies,cheap toys,and other inexpensive products for themselves—and second,to teach them the value of money.”
However,many experts expressed concern that tying payments too closely to daily work can send kids wrong messages about family and personal responsibility. Suniya Luthar,a psychologist at Arizona State University,is doubtful of the idea of paying kids on a per-work basis.“Should we pay a child when he picks up his clothes off the floor?”she asks.
Luthar is not opposed to(反对) giving tips, but she thinks it’s important to let children know that certain work has to be done not because it’ll lead to payment,but because it’s part of what you have to do for yourself or as a family member. “In a family, no one’s going to pay you to put your clothes away or tidy up the house,” Luthar says.
Other researchers disagree.Heather Beth Johnson,a sociologist at Lehigh University,says,“When we pay kids to do things that humans have always had to do,”she says,“it sends them a message that they have to work for returns.”
Johnson adds that upper-middle-class families are usually ready to pay children for things like doing well in school or taking care of the younger children.She says that this sort of tips can make kids happier to carry out more basic responsibilities.“This isn’t happening in poor families,”she adds.
【1】Suniya Luthar would probably agree to tip the children______.
A.when they pick up their clothes off the floor. B.every time they take care of their brothers
C.once they have made big progress in school. D.each time they help clean up the house
【2】What does Heather Beth Johnson mean?
A.Rich children will be more successful.
B.Rich parents are too generous with tips.
C.Poor parents should not be misled by rich parents.
D.Poor kids are less inspired to take on responsibilities.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A.Ways to tip the children. B.Views on tipping children.
C.The main purposes of tips. D.The value of tipping.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.An education report. B.A government guideline.
C.A history book. D.An official survey.
27、 A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications(资历), he said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him.
A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm. They quickly began to check things to see if all was safe from damage. They found that the doors of the farmhouse had been safely fastened, and a lot of wood had been set next to the fireplace.
The young man slept soundly.
The farmer and his wife then looked at their property (财产) carefully. They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage room, safe from the bad weather. The tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well.
The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man’s words, “ I can sleep when the wind blows.”
The farmhand did his work loyally. When the sky was clear, he had prepared for the storm in case it broke. So when the wind blew, there was no need for him to be afraid. He could sleep in peace.

28、The Stories Behind 3 of the Photos from Our Pictures of the Year
Each year, National Geographic will publish a special issue to showcase some of the impressive images taken around the globe to celebrate the high-quality photography. This year, 49 were selected as the best photos of the year out of millions of images, and the photo editors give a glimpse behind the scenes of 3 images included in 2022 Pictures of the Year annual special issue.
Qaanaaq, Greenland//Kiliii Yüyan
Photographer Kiliii Yuyan is no stranger to documenting the daily lives of native peoples and the issues they face around the world. He commits himself to capturing surprising and unique images for each story while his colleague Mallory has quit in their tracks. In his story, two cousins push strollers (婴儿车) across a snowy plain in Greenland on their way to annual dogsled races. The story itself challenges readers to think about how to treat their ecosystem without destroying it and gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.
Canary Islands, Spain//Carsten Peter
It’s hard to capture the speed, texture, and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcanic eruption, but that’s what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image. He documented the 85-day eruption for National Geographic, then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientific fieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.
Minneriya. Sri Lanka//Brent Stirton
Photographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals’ lives, which she hopes will increase awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.
The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wild animals for the frame but also because it was a challenging time to work in Sri Lanka. The government was collapsing in economic decline. “I think there’s an opportunity to show people a side of animals they may have not seen before,” she says.

29、 If you also have a friend like Francia Raisa, you are really lucky. On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram(照片墙,一款社交软件) to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant(肾脏移植) from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.
People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses(医学诊断) seriously, like she did before.
Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic (西班牙裔)women, according to the Lupus Foundation.
Raisa is Latin(拉丁人), and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same race, people who share a similar racial background sometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing.
【1】What can we learn about Francia Raisa?
A. She is selfless. B. She is lucky.
C. She is optimistic. D. She is encouraging.
【2】What is lupus like at its early stage?
A. It is deadly. B. It reminds you of a kidney disease.
C. Its symptoms are psychological. D. It is hard to recognize.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. People with lupus. B. Colored women lupus patients.
C. Lupus patients with kidney disease. D. Women between the ages of 15 to 44.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Raisa and Gomez are from the same race.
B. It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.
C. Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.
D. The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better.
30、Probably the biggest problem that Christmas brings to a girl is what to give her ________. Mothers always need ________, but there seems to be so few ________ for dads. After considering the situation, Robyn bought a ________ for her father,
ArthurStevens. Itwasn’t anything ________—just an ordinary, three-cell model. “It is ________ and he spends a lot of time on the water.”
Neither Robyn nor Arthur knew how much he could come to ________ his gift.
At midnight, January 16, the Coast Guard Station received an ________ call from the tugboat (拖船) Harkness ________ which were Arthur and his two friends. A rescue team set out immediately, but ________ of them was sure exactly where the sinking tugboat was and all they could do was to ________ ahead into darkness to where they thought the tugboat might be. The ________ that the boat might have turned over made them ________. Just then, they saw a strange light pointing straight up.
They found something that ________ them all: there, half-dead in the cold ________, were three “icy” men with arms ________ hooked together—their clothes ________ to a bucket that had dropped from the Harkness as she went down.
Arthur Stevens, the thinnest of the three men and the ________ to death, had long since lost his ability to ________ anything. Fortunately, the freezing cold had brought the men a lucky ________: frozen to the back of Arthur’s glove was a small, simple, three-cell, waterproof flashlight. And the beam of that flashlight was pointing straight up to the sky—guidance for those who’d had enough faith and courage to follow it.

31、课文内容填空
Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
