26、It is common for people to complain. Actually, even the kindest and most thoughtful people complain. And complaining isn’t always an annoying thing. 【1】 However, if someone makes complaints frequently, the problems will start. So, these tips will help you quiet complainers.
Change the topic.
Some complainers will be distracted from their negative mood if you change the topic in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the noisy community environment, you can tell her you bought some beautiful flowers yesterday. 【2】
Show your care.
If the complainer keeps complaining to you, and asks something like, “Can you understand me?”, don’ t always say, “I’ve heard and gotten it.” Instead, listen carefully and make some eye contact with the person. Stand in his shoes, and if possible, offer him some advice.
【3】
When someone frequently makes complaints to you, ask nicely what he’s done to improve it. This question may help to abruptly end the complaint and remind the person to do something useful.
Be honest.
【4】 If someone complains to you many times before and you must cut the conversation short, you can simply be honest, saying you need to focus on your own business.
Have a heart-to-heart talk.
Maybe the complainer is very close to you, such as your best friend or your partner, and he stresses you out with loads of negative attitudes. 【5】 This will let the person know your true feelings. Otherwise, if you always hide your true feelings and continue listening to his repeated complaints, finally you may start avoiding the person.
A．Focus on the effect.
B．Encourage the person to take actions.
C．Don’t be afraid of letting him down.
D．Avoid saying the word complaining.
E．Talking about the problem with him frankly is important.
F．Sometimes, making a complaint can at least release our stress.
G．If your colleague is saying ill words of the boss, tell him there will be some new employees next week.
27、 CHINADAILY—In 2011, scientists moved eight Rothschild's giraffes to Longicharo Island. They hoped it would save the endangered animals from hunters and allow their numbers to increase. However, the large amount of rain in August 2020 caused the lake water level to rise, cutting the area off from the mainland and reducing the once 100-acre habitat to about 8 acres, which made it necessary to relocate（转移）the animals to a safer habitat.
In December 2020, the rescuers teamed up with UK -based non-profit organization Save Giraffes Now to construct a barge（驳船）, which is designed and built specifically to carry tall, heavy giraffes. It floats atop a series of empty drums with its sides made higher to keep the animals from jumping out as the barge was gently pulled by boats.
Their first giraffe to be saved was Asiwa, who was trapped alone with no food sources. However, making the gentle giant get on the barge was not easy. The giraffes don't know that you're trying to help them," O'Connor, president of Save Giraffes Now, says. "They think you'll hurt them. So they're really trying to work against you, which makes it even harder."
After several attempts to lead Asiwa on board the barge with treats failed, the scientists had no choice but to sedate（注射镇定剂）her. While it's often used to transport large animals, it is not the preferred method for giraffes since the change in blood pressure could damage their brains.
To prevent any accidents, the rescuers gave the giraffe a light sedative and then quickly guided her onto the barge. To ensure Asiwa would not frighten, they covered her head with a hood and put socks in her ears to block out sound. "The wonderful part was watching her gently walk off the boat once the hood was removed as if nothing had happened," said photographer Ami Vitale.
Weather permitting, the rescuers hope to relocate the island's remaining seven giraffes by March 2021 to the 44, 000-acre Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy. Once we rescue them, that's not the end of it," O'Connor says. "That's actually just the beginning of trying to repopulate the entire Western Rift Valley with this type of giraffe, where they became locally extinct 70 years ago."
【1】What might directly cause the relocating of the giraffes?
A．A heavy rain.
B．The killing from hunters.
C．A smaller habitat.
D．The construction of a barge.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．A sedative would frighten giraffes.
B．It took efforts to relocate Asiwa.
C．Asiwa readily followed the rescuers' orders.
D．The rescuers managed to save all the giraffes.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．Rothschild's giraffes lost their habitat.
B．Why it was difficult to transport the giraffes.
C．Rescuers moved Rothschild's giraffes to safety.
D．How the rescuers got the giraffe onto the barge.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A news story.
B．A research report.
C．A biology book.
D．A pet magazine.
28、Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
【1】 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself.【2】 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who has hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.【3】 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who has upset you.
Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who has caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
【4】 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself.【5】 But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you don’t do it.
A．How should you start to forgive?
B．Why should you forgive?
C．Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
D．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
E．For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F．If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
G．To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique.
29、
Phil White has just returned from an 18,000mile, aroundtheworld bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White’s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest on the weekends. But do you know that holidays, much like relationships, can be “made, 【1】 and broken” through conversations? Deborag Tannen, a Georgetown University linguistics（语言学）professor, believes so. She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond. Let’s take a look.
A round dining table is best for 【2】 a lively conversation because everyone faces one another.
Avoid 【3】 grandparents at the ends of a rectangular table, even though it is the traditional place of honor. Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be 【4】 to hear or keep up with a conversation.
Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk. Men might look around at other things. “Guys may be more relaxed keeping staring on the TV,” says Tannen. “They’ll still be 【5】, though.”
Be 【6】 that people have different ways of talking. Each person has a different sense of tone, rhythm, timing and how long of a pause is normal in a conversation. Pay attention to people who seem left out. If you feel you are doing all the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in. If you feel you aren’t getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or 【7】.
Some families find that gatherings go more 【8】 if they participate in an outdoor activity. Going to a park for a walk may be more 【9】 than sitting around chatting.
