26、Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to “be kind to one another” and “treat others the way you want to be treated.”
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素) Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits? Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, “Let me know how I can help you; I’m always available to help. ”Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say “no”. Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.
【1】What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness?
A．It does good to our mind.
B．It reduces hormone levels.
C．It adds years to people’s life.
D．It leads to the success of civilizations.
【2】What might the new person feel one year later?
A．Grateful.
B．Bored.
C．Disappointed.
D．Energetic.
【3】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．When you’re too full to eat anything.
B．When your kind acts get appreciated.
C．When you should ask others a favor.
D．When you’re physically and mentally tired.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Your kindness counts for your well-being!
B．Are we tiring ourselves with kindness?
C．Why are random acts of kindness important?
D．Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!
27、 Look out of the window of your workplace. Is the view pleasing? Can you see trees and grassy areas, or rubbish bins? Do you enjoy leaving the building at lunchtime or would you rather stay in your office?
Indoor work environments (in particular factors like light, noise and temperature) have an effect on working quality. Attractive offices, with common areas and relaxing activities, will appeal to businesses and workers. If a positive office indoor environment helps, it makes sense that a nice outdoor one should do the job, too.
Those who work in a big city are complaining about crowded conditions, surrounded by busy roads. But there are exceptions. Chiswick Park in west London is the kind of area that local people like to frequent on their days off. It has its own waterfall and lake, where ducks have settled, and there are tree-shaded lawns where one can picnic on sunny summer days. The actively minded can head for a special area to play basketball or football. The autumn brings firework shows and when the weather is good, the site holds food fairs, concerts or other events.
During the week, however, 9,000 people flood into the park’s 12 office buildings. They are home to 73 businesses, including big companies like Paramount and Sony.
Anyone who has visited the main office of a tech company will be surprised to find comfortable chairs, pool tables and even guitars or bikes for hire, like those in a big hotel. The worry about such services is that they aim to keep employees in the office for as long as possible. If you can eat, go to the gym and even get your dry cleaning done at work, why go home?
The danger, as with many aspects of the future economy, is of another class divide. In addition to fat pay checks, well-decorated offices with top-class services located in attractive parks for the fortunate few who program for big tech groups or run large companies; dissatisfying jobs in “satisfying centers” and busy roads outside for the rest. On the bright side, office workers in the latter will at least still have a reason to head home.

28、 Nowadays,human-polar bear conflict is on the rise. 【1】 Last year,there were 21 conflicts in the village of Ittoqqortoormiit,Greenland,alone. 【2】,as the changing climate reduces polar bears’ sea-ice habitat(栖息地)，and as humans take advantage of that ice loss in pursuit of economic opportunity.
Governments and industry leaders in Arctic countries must take responsibility and support ways for their citizens and employees to live and work safely together with potentially dangerous animals like polar bears,whose population will decrease by more than 30%by 2050 due to sea-ice habitat loss.

【4】; it’s also important to keep wildlife safe.There’s more to be done on national level.The five states with polar bear populations should keep their promise to work together on a 10-year plan to manage all aspects of polar-bear protection.
【5】By actively supporting the shift to a low-carbon economy,and by reducing our own greenhouse gas missions,we common people are each helping protect the sea-ice habitat that polar bears and other marine mammals all depend on.
A.This will further increase
B.Ordinary people also have a role to play
C.But it’s not just about protecting human life
D.For example,polar bear patrols(巡逻队)have been set up in Greenland
E.Polar bears use the sea ice as a platform to hunt for seals,their main source of food
F.For example,9 human-polar bear conflicts were reported in all of Greenland in 2007

29、 Adopting (领养) a new pet should be an exciting and rewarding experience. But just as all families are different, so are all pets. Learn what to consider before you find your new furry family member.
All pets require their owner’s time, so Theisen, an expert in pet care, says how much time you can give to the pet is the top thing to consider. “If you adopt a 4-year-old cat, she’s not going to need the same amount of care as a 9-week-old dog”. says Theisen.
Like dating and finding the perfect partner, you want a pet that shares your interests and activity levels, particularly if you’re looking for dogs. “Consider activity levels in the family,” says Theisen. “If you’re a couch potato, or in other words, a homebody, look for a pet that matches that activity level.”
Some dogs, like Dalmatians and Terriers, can be loud and noisy and demand a more active lifestyle and room to be outside; they might not fit as well in close living situations as more sedentary pets. The Humane Society of the United States encourages potential owners to research books and websites and talk to other pet owners when considering adopting a new pet.
Theisen says that potential owners should go beyond the first impression of loveliness and watch how the animals interact with them. “There are dogs that will jump to the gate to meet you,” says Theisen. “And there are dogs that sit there with their sad doggy eyes — you know they’re not going to be high-energy dogs”.
Some exotic pets, like tortoises and parrots, are likely to live longer than dogs and cats — and even their human owners. They can also grow to be much larger than they were when they first came to live with their owners. Owners should make sure that their living situations should be continually updated and also prepare for the animal’s future.
【1】What will people have to consider first of all when they plan to adopt a pet?
A. The amount of time they can give to the pet.
B. The money that the pet will cost them.
C. Whether the pet is lovely or not.
D. Whether the pet is active or not.
【2】The underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A. weak. B. noisy.
C. loud. D. inactive.
【3】Being a couch potato and not fond of exotic pets, which should Julia choose?
A. Dalmatians. B. Terriers.
C. Parrots. D. Bulldogs.
【4】Where is the passage most probably coming from?
A. A guidebook. B. A fashion magazine.
C. A Life magazine. D. An entertainment newspaper.
