27、For 38-year-old Justin Herald, the journey to wealth began one Sunday morning at a church in Sydney's northwest, when he was involved in a quarrel with a member of the church choir. "You have an attitude problem," she told him.
The accusation sparked something in him, and he borrowed $50 from his brother to have four T-shirts printed with the slogan: "I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem."
"It was the best $50 I ever spent," laughs Herald. By the end of the morning, he had sold three of the four T-shirts. With the money he made, he had another six printed, then 12, then 24. "That first year the earning were $98,000," he says.
His business, Attitude Inc., is now a multi-million-dollar company with a wide range of products selling in 3,500 stores across Australia. His business was due to not just clever marketing - the public loved the slogan - but also he has to admit that in those days there was very little competition in his sector of the clothing industry, and he was in the right place at the right time.
The media spotlight also helped, with people paying attention to Herald's likeable personality and infections passion for his business: the night of one TV appearance, 187 stores rang to get his products into their stores.
Herald sold the business three years ago, by which time it was turning over $30 million a year, and now spends his time as a motivational speaker. His message: anyone can be financially successful if they set their mind to it. "You have to have a lot of stickability, because not everything is going to work the way you plan it."
Still living in Castle Hill with his wife and two children, Herald believes too many successful people become caught up in the trappings of wealth. "I have lived here since I left school at 16," he says. "In this area, you don't forget where you came from."
【1】Why does Herald think it was the best $50 he ever spent?
A．Because that sum of money covered the cost of four T-shirt
B．Because that sum of money showed his accusation was wrong.
C．Because he received that sum of money when he was in need.
D．Because he gained more than expected from that sum of money.
【2】According to Herald, the success of his business resulted from _________.
A．good timing and cooperation
B．business sense and luck
C．fierce competition and passion
D．family background and motivation
【3】The underlined word "stickability" （paragraph 6） is closest in meaning to _________.
A．competence
B．conscience
C．persistence
D．fortune
【4】The best title for the passage might be _________
A．Attitude Pays Off
B．No Bravery, No Gains
C．Start a Business
D．Never Too Old to Challenge Yourself
28、Summertime, i.e. vacation season, is quickly approaching. And whether your ideal getaway is R&R on the beach, outdoor adventuring, or exploring a new city, it pays to plan.
I’d love to get away. How do I save for a vacation?
You’re not alone. One study says 71% of Americans are planning to take a trip for leisure in 2022. And they’re planning on spending 29% more than they did pre-pandemic in 2019. But you don’t have to go broke (身无分文) to get a break. Before you even start planning your travel, here’s how to make the trip you’ve been waiting for a reality.
● Make a sinking fund. These funds are where you set aside money with an intention to spend it on a big goal.
● Timing is everything. Research the cheapest places to go when the temperature rises, and plan accordingly. You’ll also get more bang for your buck by checking out destinations with a favorable exchange rate. For somewhere further east, your dollars will go far in Thailand or the Philippines.
● Book smart. Renting a home is often a better deal than booking a hotel. Not only will you save on the price tag, but you can cook instead of eating out for every meal.
How do I keep saving while I’m on vacation?
True story: travel doesn’t feel like real life, so it’s easier to splurge (挥霍). And if you’re visiting a popular tourist location, everything costs more. Here’s how to see the sights without losing sight of your budget.
● Set a daily spending limit and track what you buy to avoid overdoing it. Using cash or a prepaid debit card instead of a credit card can also help.
● Food is a money vampire. If you have access to a kitchen where you’re staying, make breakfast, pack lunch, and cook dinner when you can. If not, hit up a supermarket or farmer’s market for an easy, cheap breakfast. And when you do eat out, go for lunch or appetizers, where the menu items tend to be less expensive.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following may help make your dream trip a reality?
A．Preparing enough fast food.
B．Borrowing money from friends.
C．Researching the cheapest places to go.
D．Carrying credit cards from different banks.
【2】To keep saving while on vacation, you’d better ________.
A．go out for meals
B．avoid using cash
C．set a daily spending limit
D．visit popular tourist locations
【3】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To help travellers save money.
B．To report some survey results.
C．To advertise some tourist attractions.
D．To compare different travel plans.
29、 In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northern Virginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other people should consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.
I think of this event as typical of the conflicted relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown wary of the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, I met a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.
In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption (端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.
All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane.
【1】Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?
A.His video caused many arguments.
B.His video was shared without his permission.
C.His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.
D.His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.
【2】Why does the author mention the story of his partner?
A.To prove that social media has some benefits.
B.To advise people to break away from social media.
C.To tell the negative effects social media may produce.
D.To describe people’s conflicted relationships with social media.
【3】What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?
A.To attract more users.
B.To make more profits.
C.To improve network environment.
D.To provide more convenient service.
【4】What does the IndieWeb intend to do?
A.Develop new social-media platforms.
B.Set up principles of the use of social media.
C.Improve the existing social-media platforms.
D.Help social-media companies to make reformation.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成篇完整的短文。
I drove to my home. I was waiting for the traffic light. The light turned green but the car in front of me didn’t move forward. The driver began to turn around as something was blocking his path and sped off. I began to do the same when I realized a man in a wheelchair blocked the way. In fact, I recognized him as one of my follow classmates whom I had seen many times over the past four years, but never spoken to.
But I was in a hurry because I had an important thing to do. I began to drive off. I glanced in my rearview mirror (后视镜) and saw the man struggling to get his chair out of the muddy crossing.
Surely someone else will help him, I thought. But what if everyone else thought that, too? I stopped.
His name was Jordan. His cerebral palsy (脑瘫) affected his speech. I knew if l was going to help him, it meant pushing him to wherever he was going, in the rain, in the mud.
I locked my car and quickly caught up to him. I began to push. It was uphill for what seemed like a mile. Every hundred yards or so, with great effort, Jordan would turn around his head so that he could look up at me in appreciation.
At the end of our long trip to Jordan’s apartment, both of us were in sweat. I couldn’t believe that Jordan had managed to do this alone, every day for four years. I blew up every time I couldn’t find a parking space close enough to my classes! Jordan insisted that I come in and dry off. He said there was someone he wanted me to meet.
