21、 Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In times of extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn't find shelter for the night.
Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30,2018, 34-year-old Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.
“It was - 20℃, and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne. Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.
For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the streets at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn't step up to help, no one likely would.
However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do,many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn't want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.
Payne's selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention. “I am a regular person, ” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side. ”

22、The goings-on in the consulting room have become more transparent(透明的)recently. Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We can be of value if our first port of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words.
The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation. Not that it is mysterious, but it isn't concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theories, but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.
Words can give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. That’s why it’s called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a therapist. I might feel hopeless, I might feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to find solutions.
The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affect them. As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship.
Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform or modify our ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapist's toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking, yes. It also means the therapist is listening, thinking and feeling.
【1】In which way is the thinking and talking the writer does different from ordinary conversation?
A.It may not be understood by patients.
B.It is full of terms used by most therapists.
C.It is a good reflection of traditional talking.
D.It involves thinking about how people speak.
【2】The word" obscure"(paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.
A.cancel
B.clarify
C.confirm
D.conceal
【3】Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?
A.Patients' influence has been neglected by therapists for too long a time.
B.Therapists need to think from their own perspectives as well as patients'.
C.It is no easy job for therapists to realize how uncomfortable their patients are.
D.Therapists had better push away those negative emotions acquired from patients.
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Awareness of feelings
B.It’s good to talk—and listen
C.Theories that help therapists
D.What is the point of being a therapist
23、Plenty of films are somewhat incomprehensible, but a movie is in a language that only about 20 people in the world can speak fluently.
A feature film titled SGaneaay K’uuna, translated as Edge of the Knife, is in the Haida language, the ancestral tongue of the Haida people of British Columbia, Canada It is unrelated to any other language, and actors had to leam it to understand their lines.
The film is playing an important role in preserving the language, its director Gwai Edenshaw said. “I know that, if our language is this far gone, statistically it’s supposed to be over. But that’s not something that we’re willing to accept.”
The Haida are an indigenous(土著的)community whose traditional territory is Haida Gwaii Edenshaw said most of the fluent Haida speakers were in his Haida Gwaii homeland. The community generally lives off the sea and makes dugout canoes and houses from local red cedars. Their numbers were ravaged by smallpox and other diseases in the 19h century. A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.
The few Haida speakers are extremely concerned about the language’s future and were very enthusiastic about the film. More than 70 local people worked on the production, with Haida speakers taking incidental roles, weavers creating the costumes and other craftspeople making props.
The film, set on Haida Gwali in the 19th century, is based on an old Haida myth about a man who survives an accident at sea, only to become so weakened that he is taken over by supernatural beings.
It is part of a wider push to preserve the Haida language, including a new dictionary and recordings of local voices.
Mark Turin, associate professor at the University of British Columbia, said that Haida is among languages that have been ”pushed almost to the edge“ and that, while numerous indigenous communities worldwide are trying to revive(复活)their language, the Haida people have taken an unusual approach. ”This film has done something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before, using a feature movie as a process of language revitalization. It’s a hugely creative and powerful commitment for the community to have made,“ he said.
【1】What do we know about the Haida language?
A.It is forever gone.
B.It is easy to learn.
C.It is well preserved.
D.It is highly endangered.
【2】What does the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Greatly reduced.
B.Slightly increased.
C.Stabilized.
D.Determined.
【3】What do we know about SGaateay K’uuna?
A.It is based on a true story.
B.Locals contribute to its production.
C.Most Haida speakers lack interest in it.
D.It helps promote the Haida publications.
【4】What does Mark Turin think of using a film to revive a language?
A.It is innovative.
B.It is outdated.
C.It is unacceptable.
D.It is debatable.
24、The Wake-up Call
“What’s that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.
“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.
“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”
“What’s a wake-up call?” She frowned (皱眉). I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.
“Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.
“Probably someone older,” I said, “and could use some money.”
Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.
“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.
“Wait!” she shrieked.
“I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”
I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’d announce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”
Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I Googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a check.”
Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymond’s call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how he’d wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.
Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush and hustle of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.
【1】The author laughed at the mail because ________.
A. it was printed roughly
B. the drawing in it was poor
C. the wake-up call cost too much
D. the service it offered was outdated
【2】What did the author want to do with the flyer at first?
A. Throw it away.
B. Let Genie read it.
C. Find out who sent it.
D. Keep it away from Genie.
【3】What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?
A. Her own childhood experience.
B. The less fortunate wake-up man.
C. Genie’s curiosity about the service.
D. The information she found on Google.
【4】What might “other things” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Bravery and curiosity.
B. Confidence and patience.
C. Honesty and humor.
D. Generosity and kindness.
