Its users are more complex (复杂的): an American mother who takes her children to visit their Mexican father every weekend, and a nine-year-old boy who wants to “have a memory of us together” before his father goes back to California. They pause what they’re doing, sit for a photo, and leave with a printed copy. Behind the camera is Alexia Webster, a South African photographer who sets up street studios around the world. At Studio Transfroriterizo, her project in Tijuana, Mexico, passing characters offer a look at life on the world’s busiest land border: Every day nearly 100,000 people legally crass from Tijuana to San Diego, California, at the San Ysidro border.
More than a decade, ago, Webster was photographing for the United Nations in a refugee (难民) camp in Kenya when a man told her he’d watched photographers visit for 15 years but didn’t have a single picture of himself or his family. Many of Webster’s subjects had escaped from war, leaving personal archives (档案) behind. One photo could help them rebuild. In 2011, with people to pose for a free session. She printed their pictures on the spot. “Primarily it’s for them, for their kids, their grandkids, their lovers, their friends,” she says. “It’s a record of who they are.” Webster has since put up studios in other places, from the streets of Mumbai, India to a refugee camp in South Sudan.

28、 Yawning(哈欠)sends out certain messages---either “Oh, this movie is boring” or I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is so overheated?
A new study, led by a research team of Princeton University, has indicated(表明)that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily.com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people , 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched, which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain.
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawn. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies(频率) change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
【1】The purpose of the experiment is ________.
A.to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally.
B.to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally
C.to find the frequency of people’s yawning
D.to show the real reason why people yawn
【2】According to the text, people yawn more often________.
A.when the air temperature is lower outside the body
B.when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter
C.when the air temperature is higher than the body
D.when the air temperature is equal to the body.
【3】What could be the best title for the text?
A.Yawning is a Sign of Brain Disease B.Yawning Carries Some Information
C.Yawning Benefits Your Body D.Yawning Cools Your Brain
29、I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o'clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later "Amazing!" a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
【1】When did they see the first light of the sunrise?
A.Nearly 6 o'clock.
B.Nearly 5 o'clock.
C.About 4 o'clock.
D.About 3 o'clock.
【2】What's the meaning of the underlined word "chilly" in paragraph two?
A.Terrible.
B.Interesting.
C.Total.
D.Cold.
【3】What's the author's attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?
A.Afraid all the time.
B.Excited all the time.
C.Firstly excited then impatient.
D.Firstly excited then afraid.
【4】What does the author want to tell us by this passage?
A.His friends and he took a trip to Hawaii.
B.He enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in his life.
C.Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
D.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.

But that was a month ago. Since then, Jessie’s bright dreams had grown very ________.

“Maybe I’ll go have some noodles,” she thought. “That always seems to help when I’m feeling ________.” There was a fairly good Asian noodle shop down the street. Before long, Jessie was slurping a nice hot bowl of beef noodles.
While she was eating, a tall woman with blond hair entered the shop. The woman sat down at the next table and ________ a bowl of noodle soup. She looked sad and tired, and Jessie felt pity for her.
Jessie wanted to say something, to reach out to this woman somehow. But what should she say? Finally, she said simply, “The noodles are good here, aren't they?”
The woman smiled and said, “They sure are.”
Thus began a one-hour ________. Jessie learned that the woman had recently lost both her husband and her job and was feeling depressed. But she told Jessie that just having someone to talk to really helped. That was precisely(恰好地) the way Jessie felt about her own situation.
