26、   Every year, billions of bars of partially used hotel soap are thrown away around the world. Those bars of soap finally end up in landfills, when they could be saving lives.

Worldwide, approximately 1.8 million people in underserved communities—including 1 in 4 children—die annually because of lack of access to soap and clean water. These heartbreaking statistics are what drove Hilton to launch a first-of-its-kind soap-recycling program.

The soap-recycling process starts with discarded soap that is collected from hotels and donated to a soap recycling center where it’s made into new bars and then donated to communities around the world. Not only are these new soap bars eco-friendly, but they also help prevent diseases and reduce death rates. Just one bar of recycled soap provides an estimated 180 handwashes.

Today, to mark Global Handwashing Day (October 15), Hilton is further expanding our life-saving program: Soap recycling will now be a brand standard in selected regions, with the program extending to include over 5,300 properties in more than 70 countries and territories.

Hilton’s role as a leader in soap recycling started back in 2009. Hampton Inn by Hilton in Orlando International Airport became the first hotel to donate discarded soap to Clean the World, which has since become the company’s largest soap-recycling partner. More of our hotels caught wind of the program’s success and began to recycle soap themselves.

As our founder, Conrad Hilton, once said: “To achieve big things, you must first dream big.” At Hilton, we are leading by example and making our dream of a cleaner world, a “greener” hotel industry and a more sustainable future a reality.

【1】What was the purpose of Hilton to start recycling soap?

A．To meet the need of the hotels.

B．To clean the polluted water.

C．To reduce the waste of resources.

D．To add financial benefits.

【2】What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Thrown-away.

B．Cleaned.

C．Gathered.

D．Discovered.

【3】Why did other hotels begin to follow suit?

A．They wanted to be the leader of hotel industry.

B．They were motivated by Hilton’s success.

C．They wanted to learn from Conrad Hilton.

D．They were determined to clean the world.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Recycling Soap—a Way to Save the Earth

B．Hilton—a Leader of Recycling Soap

C．Hilton—the Example of Hotel Industry

D．Recycling Soap—a Trend in Hotel Industry

28、Why teach kids to forgive?

It’s been more than four decades, but I still can’t forgive what they did to me that summer afternoon. I was 14, walking in the mall with my two “friends”, Roger and Carson. I had introduced them to each other the week before and now they were chatting back-and-forth, leaving me out.

Forty-two years later, Carson died of injuries caused by a motorcycle crash, the bad blood between us unresolved. Roger? I have 4,922 Facebook friends, but he’s not one of them. I delete his every request.

Revenge isn’t so sweet

Revenge (报复) is a powerful emotion; the desire to hurt those who wrong us is a universal quality of human nature. However, research associates not-forgiving with depression, anxiety, and hostility. Multiple studies find a higher rate of heart problems in adults who won’t forgive. On the contrary, children and adults who are able to let go of angry feelings experience greater psychological well-being.

No hard feelings

Despite the evidence that forgiving is good for you, forgiveness has an image problem, originating from a misunderstanding of what forgiveness is and isn’t.

Forgiveness is often thought to be a weak response that minimizes or excuses wrongdoing. These are all misunderstandings, says Loren Toussaint, professor of psychology at Luther College. Forgiveness doesn’t require that the other person apologize. And it doesn’t have to result in reconciliation (和解). Forgiveness simply means you’re letting go of feelings of resentment and revenge. You’re refocusing your thoughts on positive emotions; perhaps even feelings of understanding, empathy, and compassion toward the person who hurt you.

Why it works

When kids are wronged and don’t forgive, they continue to release stress chemicals into their brains, which activate survival emotions such as fear and anger and results in an inhibition (抑制) of the brain’s problem-solving ability, creativity and reasoning.

What happens in the brain when a person forgives is a very different picture. A University of Pisa study found that participants who thought about forgiveness exhibited activation in five brain regions, indicating an increase in positive emotions, understanding of the mental states of others, perception, and control of emotions. “Research supports the connection between forgiveness and improved academic functions,” Toussaint says. “The negative emotions of unforgiveness can be powerful factors that affect children’s attention and focus in the classroom and in their individual studies.”

Okay. I will finally let go of my 50 years of resentment. And I’m moving on. Roger… I accept your FB request… Hi.

【1】Why does the writer tell his own story?

A．To share his personal experience of forgiveness.

B．To introduce the topic of teaching forgiveness.

D．To express his hatred toward two friends.

【2】Which of the following statements would Loren Toussaint agree with?

A．Forgiving should be based on sincere apology.

B．Forgiveness will result in refreshed friendship.

C．Forgiving people means you are weaker than others.

D．Forgiveness means becoming free from negative emotions.

【3】Why should kids be taught to forgive?

A．Forgiveness improves academic performance.

B．Forgiveness helps cure psychological diseases.

C．Forgiveness heals hurts and is good for the forgiver.

D．Forgiveness makes the forgiver an intelligent person.

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to________.

A．inform and explain

B．argue and discuss

C．examine and assess

D．compare and evaluate

29、   Rolling hills and endless green farmlands — those images are easy to appear when thinking of the country lifestyle. When lockdowns lasted so long across the world during the pandemic, social media seemed to be full of pictures of cottages and village life — people getting away from it all. So, why is living in the countryside becoming a modern fantasy? 【1】

It makes sense that some people would want to give up the crowded and noisy city streets for the peaceful country life — especially during an event like a pandemic. 【2】 But it's not just about having a greener place to look at out your window.

【3】 Villages don't normally adapt to the stop-go traffic we see in city centres. There's less air pollution in the countryside, which increases the chances of developing respiratory conditions or heart disease. 【4】 That is to say, you can get more exercise. All above can also lead to less stress and an increased life expectancy.

However, there are some things that need to be considered. 【5】 And as people get older, life far from doctors or public transport could become a bit of a challenge. So, if you're considering a change of pace and moving to a peaceful village, there is a range of pros and cons to consider before taking actions.

A．Many young are moving to the city to make a fortune.

B．Why do people prefer the city life to the country life?

C．Are there benefits to considering a slower pace of life?

D．There is more evidence that relates to the benefits of rural living.

E．You also get more opportunities to take long walks and see the sights.

F．Living far from the city means some people may feel separated or even lonely.

G．The lockdowns have given people time to think about what they want from life.
