Anger Is a Gift
“Mom, where are you? I’ve been waiting for 10 minutes.” I shouted into the phone.
“Honey, sorry. I left the office a bit late and the 16 caused really bad traffic, but I…”
I hung up. Conversations like this happen every week. Being a teen is 17 enough, and my parents often make me feel less important than their work.
In second grade, I broke my arm on the slide. When the school nurse called my mom, she was too 18 to answer. When the phone call 19 my father, he sighed (叹息) and said, “I’m in the middle of research.” I sat in the nurse’s office for hours, before my parents finally 20 to take me to hospital.
I wished my parents could keep me company. To make my parents take me seriously, I 21 . I tried to establish my own authority by 22 their schedule. My mom did everything possible to solve the problem, but nothing 23 until she met that adviser.
One day after I shut my door in her face, my mom didn’t complain or cry. 24 , she knocked and said, “I have something to tell you.” I opened the door. “Today I met a really good adviser. He said that every time your daughter is angry, she is just saying: I 25 you.”
It dawned on me that my anger was merely a mask for me to 26 my loneliness and disappointment. But facing one’s 27 need is the first step towards being happier. This concept not only helped things between my parents and me but also enabled me to handle conflicts and emotions. I started to pay attention to other people’s 28 . When an angry customer approached me at my volunteering job, he was saying, “I need more service.” When a homeless person shouted to me in a parking lot, he was simply saying, “I need food and help.”
I am now able to see 29 the fog of anger and see the real face and heart of the person.
Five minutes after I hung up on her, my mom’s car finally appeared through the fog. She rolled down her window and said, “Let’s go to a hotpot place, shall we?” I 30 , “OK, but promise me you won’t be late again.”

For Deaf People, Face Masks with Windows Mean More Than Smiles
For the last few months, Michael Conley has felt very alone. Conley is a deaf man, and he reads lips to understand what people are saying to him. However, people have been wearing masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19, a new virus that spreads from person to person when infected people breathe out virus particles (颗粒).
People who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate in many different ways. Some might learn to read lips. Many people also use American Sign Language (ASL). It is a way to communicate using gestures and signs for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.
For both reading lips and ASL, being able to see someone’s face and facial expressions is critically important. Particularly for ASL, facial expressions play a role in grammar and wording.
Helping Lip Readers See Mouths Move
Conley told his co-worker, Chris LaZich, about his situation. LaZich asked her friend, Helton, for help. Ingrid Helton is a costume designer with the San Diego Opera. She makes masks with plastic windows for hearing people to wear, making it possible for lip readers to see mouths move.
For a long time, lip readers have struggled to understand hospital workers who wear masks. The problem has only gotten worse during COVID-19. Many interpreters for the deaf have not been able to enter hospitals because they could catch the virus.
More Challenges For Deaf People
Now, more people are wearing masks outside of hospitals, too. This creates even more challenges for deaf people.
When people began wearing masks, Conley felt cut off from the world. Since he could not read lips, he did not know when people were speaking to him or what they were saying.
Conley was nervous to go to the pharmacy or the grocery store. Once, he felt so nervous to enter his favorite restaurant that he waited outside for 45 minutes. He did not know what he would do if a masked worker asked him questions about his order. Luckily, the employee recognized him and pulled down her mask to talk to Conley. Conley was grateful for her action.
Not everyone knows Conley, though, and would not know he is deaf. He carries pieces of paper with him so he can ask people to write what they are saying. This way, other people don’t have to remove their mask. However, it also means touching the same paper. Touching common surfaces can spread germs. Spreading germs risks contracting COVID- 19. Because of that, Conley was refused service many times.
“It makes you lose your confidence,” said Conley, who has been deaf his entire life. However, Helton’s windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZich’s lips.
34. Where can you probably read the passage?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a diary.
C. In a guidebook. D. In a medical report.
35. How did Conley feel when people began to wear masks?
A. He felt the situation couldn’t be changed.
B. He felt it difficult to recognize people.
C. He felt cut off from the world.
D. He felt lonely and angry.
36. What is the special value of windowed masks for deaf people?
A. To help them meet other deaf people.
B. To keep them safe from COVID-19.
C. To comfort them emotionally.
D. To satisfy their social needs.
37. Which of the following could be the best ending of the passage?
A. Soon she started her company called Happy Laugh Masks.
B. The windowed masks helped slow the spread of the virus.
C. Through her mask’s window, LaZich smiled at him.
D. Helton said store owners liked the masks as well.

Garbage cans are not magical openings. Garbage does not disappear when you throw it in a can. Yet, the average American throws away about 1,600 pounds of waste each year. If there are no magical garbage fairies, where does it all go? There are four methods of managing waste: recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Let’s take a quick look at each.
Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves. Still, most people agree that recycling is better for the planet than landfilling.
Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is squeezed (挤压) together before it is thrown into the hole. In this way more garbage can fit in each landfill. Large liners are placed in the bottom of landfills so that poisonous garbage liquid doesn’t get into the ground water. Sadly, these liners don’t always work. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that garbage smells horrible. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for landfills.
Because of all the negative attention that landfilling has received, interest in composting has grown. Composting is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose. The product of this decomposition is compost. Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil richer and better for growing crops.
One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas (沼气), and burn the fuel. The second is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.
Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can, what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your hands. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with it. The choice is yours.
38. Why does the author mention magical garbage fairies in the first paragraph?
A. To creatively support his argument with evidence.
B. To point out that garbage doesn’t disappear by itself.
C. To make the language more attractive to please readers.
D. To draw attention to different kinds of garbage thrown away.
39. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Some think recycling is a waste of time.
B. Incineration may destroy recyclable resources.
C. Finding new locations is the focus of landfilling.
D. The purpose of a compost pile is to make soil rich.
40. According to the passage, landfilling __________.
A. involves burying garbage in a hole
B. reduces the horrible smells
C. squeezes garbage together
D. protects ground water
41. Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?
A. Magic: Bringing Back What Was Once Lost
B. Deal with the garbage: Which is Best for You?
C. Methods of Waste Management: Advantages and Disadvantages
D. Do Your Part: How to Save the Earth by Recycling and Composting
D
Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don’t wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn’t leave you filled with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling.
Then what is awe? Psychologists Dacher Keltner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person’s self or experience. And it usually helps expand the person’s understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political leader whose power seems limitless.
In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it? How does it work? What seems awesome, and why? For the first time, they’re starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us.
When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like when we’re feeling it? Emotions come with facial expressions.
Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes. They also opened their mouths and dropped their jaws.
Another question was the purpose of the emotion. “We developed emotions to help us deal with and survive certain dangers,” explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner’s lab, “When people are scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough.” In the same way, awe should have some sort of reason for existing.
So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study also shows that awe promotes generosity. It improves people’s moral decision making. A paper still under review indicates that awe can make people more modest, too.
“We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think,” says one of the researchers, Rudd, “We meet something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation, and as a result we open up to connecting to other people. But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it’s going to be hard to experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you’re going to be more likely to run into something that’s awe-inspiring.”
42. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe?
A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant.
B. Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar.
C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day.
D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting.
43. What does the underlined part “they were on track” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. They came across unexpected data.
B. They were anxious about the result.
C. They changed their research methods.
D. They were right about what they had thought.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear.
B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it.
C. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it.
D. We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive.
45. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To move readers with touching stories about awe.
B. To explain what awe is and what it brings to people.
C. To show awe functions differently from other emotions.
D. To persuade readers to experience awe as much as possible.

I was only one year older than my sister Jeanne, but by the time we were old enough to drive, we had parted ways. When I was 19, I moved away from our Wisconsin home to Virginia. My father had a horse farm there and that’s when I began to work as a veterinary assistant, helping him around the farm. Jeanne got married at 18, moved to Chicago and became–well, I didn’t know what.
Fast-forward about five years. I was 24 and went to New York City with my fiancé to see the sights. We saw Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty and Chinatown. I had never seen so many taxicabs in one spot in all my life. It was overwhelming. I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone in the quiet little town of Driver, Virginia.
During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very busy street. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something my fiancé said, and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. “Jeanne?” And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, facing each other and smiling. I couldn’t believe it.
I later asked how she’d known it was me–she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is all that unusual, but I guess to a family member it’s infectious. It hits your heart and resonates in your mind.
I asked her what she was doing in New York, and she said she had come for an opera show and was there for only a week. Both our visits were trips planned just a week earlier.
Since that time, my sister and I have never lost touch. We both moved back to Wisconsin. We talk daily. Many years have passed, and we are now in our 50s. But our meeting by chance wasn’t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson, a reminder to stay connected with loved ones.

One possible version:
Much of the world has enjoyed the prosperity brought by advanced science and technology as well as a healthy economy, but the world is also faced with environmental problems like global warming, pollution, species extinction and overpopulation.
Personally, I think the over-consumption of plastics is the most serious environmental problem in our life. Whether at markets or restaurants, plastic is frequently used in people’s daily life. We take our groceries home from the supermarkets in plastic bags. We put our waste in plastic bags. We drink from plastic cups and bottles. We use plastic to store our leftovers. Yet, a lot of these plastics are never recycled, which harms the environment. Animals and birds that swallow plastic could die as a result, and the plastics that end up in landfills pollute the earth’s soil and water.
Facing such a situation, I believe it’s everyone’s duty to be more environmentally aware and “Go Green”. As for me, I will reduce the use of plastics in my daily life. For example, I won’t use plastic straws. Also, I will ask my family and friends to use cloth shopping bags in the supermarket. I believe that with everyone’s individual effort, these problems can be solved.

M: There is no need to rush. The plane takes off at 4. We won’t miss our flight as long as we arrive at the airport before 3:30.
W: But the check-in deadline is 45 minutes before departure. That is to say, we have to arrive at the airport before 3:15. The traffic is also heavy at this time.
M: Plus, we have a large suitcase to check in. We must hit the road now.

W: The math class today was way beyond me. I really don’t understand it.
M: I saw that you were asleep most of the class. You definitely were not concentrating.
W: That’s not true. I was just resting my head on my arms, trying my best to follow what the teacher was saying.
M: Well, I think you will find it much easier if you manage yourself and pay attention like the rest of us.

M: Did you see my keys, Mom? I can’t find them anywhere.
W: Emm, I don’t know, but I saw a set of keys on the sofa before breakfast.
M: Those are not mine. They are my dad’s.
W: Oh, dear. After breakfast, I noticed your father put a set of keys in his bag. They were on the table. He must have mistaken yours for his.
M: It doesn’t matter. I won’t need the keys if you are at home by five. I am going to play badminton with my friends and then come back around that time.
W: No problem. I will stay at home the whole day.

W: I can’t believe that you quit your job! Your salary was almost twice as high as mine.
M: Money isn’t the most important thing. The job was too stressful.
W: Oh, come on, buddy. I have known you since middle school. I don’t believe that you are the kind of person who is overcome by stress.
M: Yes, you are right. I was able to handle it. I worked for an international company that required me to work late at night. Sometimes, I needed to contact colleagues living in other time zones.
W: Then what exactly caused you to leave your job?
M: I was fed up with repeating the same thing every day. I couldn’t wait to try something new and interesting.

M: What are you doing on your smartphone, Amy?
W: I am practicing English pronunciation with a foreign teacher on an app. It is part of our homework.
M: Oh, that’s so cool. When I was a student in senior high school, I could only listen to a tape and repeat after the speaker to improve my pronunciation.
W: Nowadays, there are many educational apps like this one that can help us with our learning.
M: It seems you really like to learn English with these apps.
W: Yes. I can learn anywhere and anytime with such apps. It is really convenient. But some educational apps are a waste of time, offering nothing but dull and unhelpful learning experiences. So it’s important to choose apps carefully.

Hello, everyone, welcome to our design studio. I often hear people complain about electric cars, calling them white elephants. What a horrible comment for an electric car maker to receive! Our new product, the Model Z, will change the way people think about electric cars.
The first thing we focus on is how safe a vehicle is, which is also the most important factor for every means of transportation. The Model Z is definitely one of the safest SUVs ever. It is equipped with industry-leading body and battery technology to reduce the possibility of injury during an accident.
Will my car run out of power on the road? This fear keeps many customers from choosing electric cars. To calm this fear and offer as much convenience as possible, we have upgraded our charging options. Based on thousands of road tests, the Model Z can travel up to 351 miles on a single charge. And we have also increased the number of our charging stations by 50% worldwide.
At the same time, the Model Z is built to provide the best interior experience ever. It can seat up to seven adults and has an expansive 20-inch touchscreen TV. It also has heated seats with soft touch materials and a system that keeps inside air fresh and clean.
Can’t wait to drive your Model Z? Remember to contact our salesperson or place an order on our website.
