26、Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized. In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
【1】What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A.Her camera stopped working.
B.A woman blocked her view.
C.Someone asked her to leave.
D.A friend approached from behind.
【2】In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?
A.The rich color of the landscape.
B.The perfect positioning of the camera.
C.The woman’s existence in the photo.
D.The soft sunlight that summer day.
【3】The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon ________.
A.a particular life experience
B.the pleasure of traveling
C.the art of photography
D.a lost friendship
27、A photo of a Kentucky coal miner with his family at a college basketball game is going viral (疯狂传播). The photo shows Michael McGuire and his son sitting in the stands at the University of Kentucky Wildcats game on Saturday. McGuire is still wearing his work uniform and his face and arms are covered in black coal dust, which makes him different from others.
Kentucky’s head coach John Calipari put the picture online and expressed admiration for McGuire’s hard work and love for his son.
“My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home, ” Calipari wrote. “From what I’ve been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son and watch our team. I don’t know who this is, but I have tickets for him and his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!”
McGuire had not yet been identified at that point, but Kentucky fans quickly found him and connected the coach with the family.
MeGuire’s wife, Mollie, replied on social media with a photo she had taken at the game. She wrote: “My amazing husband started his day at 4:45 am that morning and worked all day and then drove straight to the arena to meet us and enjoy the game with our son! We are truly blessed with such an amazing man! We love our coal miner. ”
McGuire told local station WKYT that he didn’t want to miss his son Easton’s first basketball experience. He said Easton had a good time.
Coach Calipari said he hopes McGuire will be a lesson for his players. “I talked to my guys about it. It’s just a great lesson, and I showed them the picture yesterday of Michael and his son. I talked about hard, tiring work that’s honorable work, adding that he made time for his son, even when he knew he couldn’t shower. It didn’t matter what he looked like. He just wanted to be with his son,” Calipari said.

28、Coca-Cola is probably the most famous brand in the world. Although the company is trying to present itself as a health-conscious company, you can’t really say that drinking cola is healthy for you. 【1】 And we tell ourselves that it’s all okay as long as we don’t overdo it. However, Coca-Cola has other functions besides drinking.
Cola removes the tarnish(暗锈) from old pennies. Got some old rusty pennies? Not to worry! 【2】 When you get them out, you’ll have shiny pennies that will look as if they were coined a couple of days ago. If you couldn’t clean those pennies with industrial acids, just buy a can of cola and let it do its magic!
You can remove gum from your hair with cola. If you’ve got gum stuck in your hair and don’t know a better way to get it out, don’t worry, you won’t have to cut it. Just pour some cola into a bowl and dip the part of your hair with gum on it inside. 【3】
【4】You probably know about this one. You can make an exploding fountain by putting a mint inside a two-liter bottle. Then move away from the bottle and get ready for a Coca-Cola explosion. 【5】 Don’t eat a mint and drink cola at the same time, because a similar thing could happen to your stomach.
A.You can make an exploding fountain.
B.This is a fun thing to do, but it is also a warning.
C.Still, we all drink cola, some more and some less.
D.Coca-Cola is also very cheap and safe for people to drink.
