Dr. Petrels gives his patients good medical advice. But he doesn’t just tell his patients what to do. He also sings to them on television! Dr. Petrels has his own TV show. The show is in Italian, English and French. The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice. He explains a medical problem or disease in simple language. After that, he sings another song.
Dr. Petrels produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform(表演) in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Petrels says, “I always loved to sing.

Some people tell Dr. Petrels he can help people more as a doctor. But Dr. Petrels says he helps people when he sings, too. “I like to make people smile.

27、Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year【1】But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.
【2】Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead.【3】It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.
If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive(such as when protecting young bears)or predatory(捕食性的)(such as when hunting).【4】Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat.
Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.【5】. You can also use pepper spray(喷雾)during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay.
A.It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears.
B.Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.
C.Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.
D.That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.
E.Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.
F.You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild.
G.There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.
28、By now, nearly everyone knows we can be addicted to our digital devices. The average smartphone user rarely goes two hours without using her device, unlocks her device 50 or more times a day, and swipes or taps on it as many as 2,617 times in the process. The youth are particularly affected: A 2018 Pew Research Center report found that 44 percent of teens said they often check their devices for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up, 54 percent said they spend too much time on their mobile phone, and 42 percent feel anxiety when they do not have it.
A device addiction is quite harmful. It is associated with depression and anxiety. According to the technology research firm Compare Camp, 26 percent of car accidents in the U.S. today are due to the use of smartphones while driving. These problems are obvious to almost everyone; the solutions, less so. Some experts suggest taxation to help limit digital overuse, similar to the way the government discourages tobacco use. Others say the only way to beat an addiction is to quit cold turkey and go device-free.
But in a world of electronic payments, digital documents, and remote work, a truly smartphone-free lifestyle is getting less and less practical. A better—and, for many of us, more reasonable—approach is to manage addictive behavior by moderating device use. This isn’t just a matter of setting screen-time limits you can easily break; rather, you can start to develop specific habits to replace the unhealthy ones that keep sending you back to your phone.
The digital-technology scholar Cal Newport recommends the “phone foyer” method, wherein he leaves his phone by the front door when he walks into his house, and doesn’t put it in his pocket until he leaves again. If he needs to look at it, he does so only in the foyer. Just as the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught in his Discourses, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
【1】How does the writer explain phone addiction in paragraph 1?
A.By giving reasons.
B.By listing numbers.
C.By raising questions.
D.By making comparisons.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “quit cold turkey” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Charging a tax.
B.Stop eating turkeys.
C.Stop using smartphones.
D.Discouraging smoking.
【3】Why does the author quote Epictetus in the last paragraph?
A.To show respect to Epictetus.
B.To prove the “phone foyer” method.
C.To advise people to be a master.
D.To inspire people to get rid of phone addiciton.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.How to Break a Phone Addiction
B.Effect of Phone Addiction on Teens
C.Phone Addiction Ruins Our Freedom
D.Device Addiction Contributes to Depression
29、 A topic sentence is also known as a focus sentence. It’s a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph. 【1】 But in academic essays, a topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph.
A topic sentence serves as the opening statement of a paragraph. 【2】 It allows the reader to quickly understand what the body will cover in detail. Using a topic sentence also helps writers. In essay writing, one strategy is to first out each paragraph’s topic sentence. This allows writers to start writing with an existing plan.
Besides, topic sentences can also serve as a means of transition(过渡)to a new statement. They create good transition between paragraphs. They help to turn the attention of the readers to a new idea without creating gaps between them. 【3】
Specificity is a feature(特征)of a good topic sentence. An opening line that is too broad may make the reader feel confused about which specific points are being discussed. 【4】 “Unwanted pets end up at the shelter for many reasons, but there are few solutions.” This topic sentence might be considered too broad. It’s unclear whether the paragraph will discuss the reasons or the solutions.
【5】 paragraphs that list steps or actions, such as in cookbooks, often do not need a topic sentence. In creative writing, many authors avoid this form of writing altogether, considering it too formal. But topic sentences are often required in essays, term papers, etc.
A.Let’s look at an example.
B.But the transition is important.
C.Not all paragraphs use or require topic sentences.
D.Topic sentences also appear in the middle of a paragraph.
E.In other words, topic sentences let the writing flow smoothly.
F.Placing the main point in the first sentence can benefit readers.
G.It’s true that a topic sentence may appear anywhere in a paragraph.
