26、 At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when she’d nag(不断地唠叨) me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.
One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother, I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.

27、 The term "dark tourism" is far newer than the practice, which long existed before Pompeii became a dark attraction. Dr. Philip Stone, perhaps the world’s leading expert on dark tourism, considers the Roman Colosseum as one of the first dark tourist sites, where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport. Later, until the late 18th century, the appeal was crueler still in central London, where people paid money to watch mass hangings. Pies would be sold at the site, which was where Marble Arch（大理石拱门）stands today.
It was only in 1996 that "dark tourism"entered the scholarly vocabulary when two professors in Glasgow applied it while looking at sites related to the murder of John F. Kennedy. Those who study dark tourism give plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon（现象）, including raised awareness of it as a recognizable thing. Access to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel. It is hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memoir and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year without its nearness to Krakow’s international airport. Peter Hohenhaus, a widely travelled dark tourist based in Vienna, also points to the sharp rise in off-the-beaten-track tourism, beyond the territory of popular guidebooks. "A lot of people don't want mainstream（主流） tourism and that often means visiting places that have a more recent history than, say, a Roman ruin." he says. You go to Sarajevo and most people remember the war being in the news, so it feels closer to one’s own biography(传记).’
Hohenhaus is also a fan of "beauty in decay(腐朽)," the current cultural movement in which urban ruins have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts. The combination with death is clear. "I have always been drawn to ruined thing," the 54-year-old says. But while, like any tourism, dark tourism at its best is educational, the example of Grenfell Tower( a London tower block, destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 71 deaths) suggests the unease felt at some sites. "I remember the Lonely Planet Bluelist book had a chapter about dark tourism a while ago and one of the rules was ‘don't go back to early."Hohenhaus says." I will be interested to see Grenfell Tower up close. I can see the attraction. But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie merrily."

28、 With attractiveness in its structure and in its presence, the Eiffel Tower has become a symbol of France and Gustave Eiffel's architectural (建筑的) wonder. Do you know how tall the Eiffel Tower is? Standing at 1, 063 feet tall, this is the second tallest monument in France after the Millau Viaduct, a road bridge over the river Tarn. The tower was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance arch for the World Fair. About 18,038 pieces of iron were put together with millions of rivets (铆钉). Gustave Eiffel was helped by several design engineers. Ironically, at first, the tower was considered unpleasant by a lot of artists. Several members from the arts community said it only ruined the empty skyline of the Paris city. French novelist Guy de Maupassant expressed his dislike for the tower by eating lunch everyday at the tower's restaurant-his explanation was that it was the only place in Paris where one could not see the structure!
The tower, weighing 10,000 tons, includes several non-metallic (非金属的) parts as well. The metallic parts used in the structure weigh 7, 300 tons, which, if melted, will fill up a 125-meter square with a depth of 6 cm. At the time when the tower was built, the great structure amazed lots of engineers and common people. The Eiffel Tower needs 50-60 tons of paint every seven years to keep the rust(铁锈) away.
Being one of the most visited sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower still remains an architectural wonder! To sum up its beauty, here's a quote by Gustave Eiffel, “I ought to be jealous (嫉妒的) of the tower. She is more famous than I am!”
【1】Which of the following about the Eiffel Tower is TRUE?
A.It runs across the river Tarn. B.It's the tallest monument in France.
C.Gustave Eiffel was its leading designer. D.It has become a less popular landmark.
【2】What does the underlined word “Ironically” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Impolitely. B.Excitingly.
C.Surprisingly. D.Carefully.
【3】How much paint was probably used from1996 to 2016 on the tower?
A.About 7,300 tons. B.About 170 tons.
C.About 10,000 tons. D.About 55 tons.
【4】What is the purpose of the second paragraph?
A.To show how grand the Eiffel Tower is.
B.To show what the Eiffel Tower was used for.
C.To show what was used to build the Eiffel Tower.
D.To show how difficult it is to clean the Eiffel Tower.
29、Time Travel
If you could travel in time,where would you go?Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period?Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine,which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time.It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name,as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.The term"time machine",coined by Wells,is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible?Some scientists say yes,in theory.They propose using cracks in time and space called"wormholes",which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past,there is something called the"grandfather paradox".It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason,and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born,how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future?In H.G.Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角）。
If that's what's in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.

【3】Einstein's and Hawking's theories______.
A．have similarities because both are based on experiments
B．suggest the possibility of time travel

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
