25、In 2011, Kylie Dunn, a writer from Australia, decided to shake up her life. Every month for a year, she decided to try two new activities. In February 2012, for example, one of her goals was to eat less meat for 30 days. Later, she wrote a letter to a friend or relative every day for a month. In just 12 months, she changed her life in more than 20 different ways.

Dunn was inspired to try her project after watching a TED Talk by Matt Cutts. To get ideas for activities, she watched hundreds of other TED Talks. Her first activity, in November 2011, was inspired by Jessi Arrington’s talk “Wear Nothing New.” Dunn tried each activity for 30 days, and then wrote about her experiences in a blog called “My Year of TED.”

Finally, when her project was over, Dunn talked about her experiences at a TEDx conference (会议) in Hobart, Australia. Dunn’s talk in January 2014 inspired other people to change their attitudes and their lives. Before her project, Dunn says, she didn’t think she had the courage to change her life. The project showed her she had more power than she thought.

“People who watch TED Talks… end up changing their view of the future,” says Chris Anderson, the head of TED. He says that TED’s goal isn’t to make a single big change. TED’s effect is the millions of stories of small changes. Personal changes like Kylie Dunn’s are happening every day. Together, these changes have the power to change the future in a positive way. As Anderson explains, “Instead of thinking of the future as an unstoppable force… people can play a part in shaping it.”

【1】What was Kylie Dunn’s goal in February 2012?

A. To start a blog.

B. To eat less meat.

C. To make new friends.

D. To wear nothing new.

【2】What did Kylie Dunn’s project show her?

A. She had more power than she thought.

B. She would live better because of TED Talks.

C. She could give good speeches on TED Talks.

D. She could change her life by wearing new clothes.

【3】What is TED’s goal according to Chris Anderson?

A. To make serious speeches.

B. To make a single big change.

C. To make small changes every day.

D. To stop people’s life from changing.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Jessi Arrington’s blog is called “My Year of TED”.

B. Kylie Dunn is a head leader of TED from Australia.

C. Dunn was inspired to try her project by Chris Anderson.

D. Dunn shared her experiences at a TEDx conference in 2014.

28、根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, but disappear soon if situations change. Neither side gets h【1】 by this. They may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no m【2】. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to u【3】, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）sometimes deeply into b【4】 families.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that a【5】 they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be g【6】with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as g【7】 to show our best friends around. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine（事务）. They will be likely to expect us to get ourselves from the a【8】 to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find o【9】 treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to r【10】, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home!
