They hoped to start showing a profit marked in black ink on the day after Thanksgiving Day.

27、Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about,” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope”. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets”,“Love and Care”,and “Peace Walk”.
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history.” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

29、Children begin influencing us even before they are born: We plan for their arrival and adjust our lives to welcome them. As babies, they direct our sleep and, as a side effect, our moods. We know that parents of crying babies are more stressed, sleep less and may even think they are parenting badly. In a vicious cycle, stress and lack of sleep can then lead to an increased risk of parental anxiety.
But there’s more. Many studies show that a child’s innate (天生的)personality shapes how we parent them. It means how we parent depends on our children’s character. One child may be naturally outgoing and therefore enjoy a constant stream of playmates. Another might like play by himself, meaning we are quieter around them. One child might love surprises, while another may find them stressful and prefer order and routine.
As children get older, their influence on us becomes more obvious. In one 2016 study, psychologist Leon Kuczynski and colleagues asked parents from 30 families to talk about any recent events where their children had some influence in their lives. He found a wide range of responses from comments on a parent’s appearance, their politeness, their health and driving abilities. They even changed their recycling habits. One parent of a 10-year-old says: “Maybe we didn’t believe in being environmentally friendly before he drew our attention to it.”
The study, explains Kuczynski, shows that while our actions affect the child, the child’s actions affect you. By being in a close relationship, you’re likely to accept this child’s influence”. It happens for good reason too—parents wanting to maintain a close relationship with their children, to improve closeness and respect. Finally, parents and children are learning from each other. Accepting this and responding to their needs make life easier.
【1】What does the underlined word “vicious” in the first paragraph?
A.Calm.
B.Demanding.
C.Successful.
D.Awful.
【2】What do we learn about parenting according to many studies?
A.Parents should stay quiet around their children.

【3】Parents are willingly influenced by their children because they want to ________.
A.maintain good relationships with their children
B.show their deep affection towards their children
C.be treated with respect by their naughty children
D.establish authority in relationship with their children
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

32、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。
“Little boy, will you help an old man up the hill with his load?” These words were spoken by an old gray-headed man, who was drawing a hand-cart with a bag of corn in it.
“I can’t. I am in a hurry,” said Hanson, the boy addressed, who was hurrying to get to the schoolyard, so that he might play with the boys before school began.
The old man sat down on a stone at the foot of the hill, to rest himself and gather strength for the ascent (上坡). He stared after Hanson, and sighed as he thought of the days of his youth, now far back in the past. A tear was beginning to gather in his eye, when another little boy, John Wilson, came up to him and said, “Shall I help you up the hill with your load?”
The old man brushed his eyes with the sleeve of his coat, and replied, “I shall be very glad to have your help.” He then stood up, took the handle of his cart, and pulled with all his strength, while John pushed behind.
When they reached the top of the hill, John discovered a hole in the bag on the under side, from which the corn was dropping out. Putting forth all his strength, he turned the bag, so that there might be no further loss of corn.
“Thank you very much,” said the old man, as John set out upon a run for his school-house; “and may God reward you.” But John was out of hearing before the last words were spoken.
When John reached the school-house, he was about ten minutes late, for which he received a mark (违纪记录). This was a very unusual thing for him, as he was remarkable for never being late. If he had told the headmaster what had delayed him, he would have been excused; but he thought it would look a little like boasting to do so. So he took the mark without saying a word.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When the school was over, Hanson approached John.
