26、 Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of the American tradition! You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch (沙发) watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive (上瘾的). One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes.
In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead! Everyone is sitting still (静止的) with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Well, because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now you know what couch-potato means.

27、Fatty food may feel like a friend during these troubled times, but new research suggests that eating just one meal high in saturated fat(饱和脂肪) can affect our ability to concentrate (集中注意力).
The study compared how 51 women performed on a test of their attention after they ate either a meal high in saturated fat or the same meal made with sunflower oil, which is high in unsaturated fat. Their performance on the test was worse after eating the high-saturated-fat meal.
The loss of focus after a single meal was eye-opening for the researchers. “Most previous work looking at the causative effect of the diet has looked over a period of time. And this was just one meal-it’s pretty remarkable that we saw a difference, said Annelise Madison, lead author of the study.
Women in the study completed a baseline assessment (评估) of their attention during a morning visit to the lab. The tool, called a continuous performance test, is a measure of continued attention,concentration and reaction time based on 10 minutes of computer-based activities. Five hours later after the high-fat meal, the women took the continuous performance test again. Between one and four weeks later, they repeated these steps. After eating the meal high in saturated fat, all of the participating women were 1l percent less able to detect target stimuli (刺激物).
Though the study didn’t determine what was going on in the brain, Madison said previous research has suggested food high in saturated fat can drive up inflammation(英症) throughout the body, and possibly the brain. Fatty acids can also cross the blood-brain barrier.
“What we know is that when people are more anxious, they will find high-saturated-fat food more attractive than vegetables, she said. ”We know from other research that depression and anxiety(焦虑) can influence concentration and attention as well. When we add that on top of the high-fat meal, we could expect the real-world effects to be even larger.”
【1】What does the new study focus on?
A．The health value of sunflower oil
B．The methods of making meals tastier.
C．The effect of fatty food on our attention.
D．The differences between saturated fat and unsaturated fat.
【2】What can we know about the women in the study?
A．They are fond of high-fat food.
B．They are good at operating computers.
C．They were asked to come to the lab after lunch.
D．They were tested on attention twice on the first day.
【3】What does the underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Other research.
B．Depression and anxiety.
C．The real-world situation
D．The inflammation in the brain.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Fatty food should be completely forbidden
B．Mental state usually affects our choice of food
C．Our ability to think can improve after big meals
D．A single high-saturated-fat meal makes us less focused
28、David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He had Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was “living in fear for a number of years” until he discovered his passion (热情) for running. He attended the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash, taking home the gold.
Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.
He pursued (追求) running at the Missouri School for the Blind. Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 2 winners of an essay (散文) contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome difficulty.
It’s important to be in sync with (与……一致) your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown, because he’s fast. A 10- or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking. Steward says, except for the occasional cues (暗示).
It’s also an honor, Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward, who could run alone but choose not to. He calls it “a great honor”.
【1】What made David Brown decide to compete?
A．Playing basketball.
B．Winning an Olympic medal.
C．Attending the 2008 Olympics.
D．Attending the Missouri School.
【2】What led to David Brown’s decision to run?
A．His personal interest.
B．His physical condition.
C．His family’s suggestion.
D．His success in playing basketball.
【3】What do we know about David Brown’s essay?
A．It was encouraging.
B．It was about how to prevent diseases.
C．It was about skills of writing essays.
D．It was the best of all.
【4】Which can best describe David Brown’s story?
A．Helping others benefits yourself as well.
B．Love me, love my dog.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
29、When was the last time you did something that gave you a genuine sense of achievement?
For me it was last week, when I hung a picture on the wall. I know, it sounds a little crazy. But it was an easy project that I’d put off for too long.
As accomplishments go, this wasn’t up there with achieving world peace, curing the incurable or running a marathon. Yet that feeling of genuine accomplishment is something that I fear we’re beginning to lose today. Now more than ever, we live in a world of instant gratitude, aided by ever-present digital devices that only feed the desire. News headlines, sports scores and the latest gossip are all a finger-swipe away on our smartphones. In this digital parallel universe, our sense of achievement has become defined by the number of positive reactions we get from posting a cool picture or making a brief comment.
Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with digital devices, apps or social media; I use them every day. Together they’ve helped us connect with others, solve problems and get things done in ways almost no one could have ever imagined. But the problem is: they aren’t very personally fulfilling.
So how do we arrive at that genuine sense of achievement, whether it’s at work or our personal life? Daniel Pink, a noted author on work, management and behavioral science, has an interesting theory. When it comes to anything but the most basic tasks, we aren’t very motivated by the “traditional” motivators of fear, money or rewards. Instead, the factors include autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy represents our desire to be self-directed –to do what we want to do, when and how we want to do it; mastery refers to an essential urge to better our skills and derive satisfaction from doing so; and purpose is our desire to do something that is important and has true meaning, either to ourselves or to others.
By tapping into these internal motivators, even unconsciously, we can accomplish great things, like exploring new hobbies or dreams; becoming passionate about our work; and deriving satisfaction from what we do and wanting to do more.
We don’t need to achieve world peace or run a marathon to feel a sense of personal achievement. Anything will do—even hanging a few pictures on the wall. But it needs to start by putting our devices aside, at least for a little while.
【1】According to the passage, the reason why we are beginning to lose the sense of accomplishment is that _________.
A．it’s easy for the masses to make a quick and positive comment
B．most people fear they can hardly make any accomplishment
C．people tend to express their instant and artificial gratitude through the Internet
D．the digital age has influenced our definition of the sense of achievement
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The author is used to putting off a project for too long.
B．Though not personally satisfactory, digital devices are somewhat helpful.
C．The author objected to addressing issues with digital devices, apps or social media.
D．Achieving world peace or curing the incurable goes beyond what we call achievement.
【3】The “internal motivators” in paragraph 6 refer to _________.
A．fear, money and rewards
B．hobbies, dreams and passion
C．autonomy, mastery and purpose
D．work, management and behavioral science
【4】What’s the author’s opinion on the sense of personal achievement?
A．With digital devices, it is easy to obtain the sense of personal achievement
B．Without social media, it is impossible to obtain the sense of personal achievement.
C．With Internet, personal achievement can only be obtained through great success.
D．Without digital devices, the sense of personal achievement can be obtained in daily tasks.

Monica grew up under the care of her grandparents. She missed them very much after their passing. In summer vacation, Monica joined a caregiving organization because she didn’t want to feel lonely and she loved taking care of older people.
One day Monica was asked to look after an old man called Charles for a month. Old Charlies had Alzheimer’s disease（老年痴呆症）and some involuntary muscle reflex（不自主肌肉反射）. When Monica arrived at her destination, she smiled and told old Charlies that she would be taking care of all the household chores（杂务）. Old Charles was delighted and invited her to tour the house.
In the man’s room, several old photographs hung on the bedroom walls. As she studied each one, she accidently saw a picture in which a young Charles was playing the piano in a large concert hall. “Was he a musician or something?” Monica hurried downstairs to find out more. But to her amazement, Charles couldn’t recognize her.
Realizing he was in a serious condition of Alzheimer’s, Monica turned to her friend Janice for help, who suggested experimenting with muscle memory on him.
The next day, Janice carried a piano to Charles’s room secretly. When Monica cleaned the living room, Charles went upstairs. He had no idea about the piano in his room.
