In the U.S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition--if that’s what you want to call it--dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚)trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So, next time you travel overseas, don't feel offended(被冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.25. Who has written the text?A. A European B. An American C. A Canadian D. An Asian.26. Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature?A. Because they have no fridges. B Because they have warm taps.C. Because they are accustomed to it. D Because they can't afford ice.27. What can we infer about Europeans?A. They have ice boxes later than Americans.B. They don't know where to get ice blocks.C. Wealthy people like to have ice in their drinks.D. Wealthy people always follow what Americans do.28. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’ t.B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.D How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.CMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF〞 which stands for “stopping finding faults〞. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things〞 in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.〞One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant〞 person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changes!29. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.30. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.31. The underlined word “arrogant〞 probably means “______〞.A. self-important B. admirable C. troublesome D. cold-blooded32. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.DWelcome to Inspire 21Our aim is to provide “Inspiring words for the 21st century〞.

As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 36Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent〔驱蚊剂〕that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.37 .In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.Always protect your feet.It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor. 38 You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.Be sure to eat safe fruits.39 They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler〔削皮器〕so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go. 40 .A. Don't trust the local waterB. Any fruit served fresh may be pollutedC. Look out for any water not served in a bottleD. The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the tableE. You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruitsF. They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your tripG. Parasites〔寄生虫〕can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body

"I have no special talent.I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success.When Newton discovered gravity，and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb，their curiosity was greatly satisfied.If they hadn't been curious，what a loss for humans! There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity （求知欲）contributes to school performance more than intelligence.Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long - term level of learning and memory，and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity. It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged.Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity，most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food，our brain looks for knowledge.People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward. An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure-related chemical when it has been given new information ，making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity.Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.However，how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery. Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity，including scientific curiosity，more research should be carried on in this field.It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity.And remember even though the idiom says "Curiosity kills the cat"，it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.（1）What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us？ ____ A.The importance of being curious.B.The advice from successful people.C.The reason why humans keep curious.D.The relationship between curiosity and efforts.（2）What can we learn about intellectual curiosity from Paragraph 2？ ____ A.It often requires long-term training.B.It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.C.Students with it learn better than those smart ones.D.Students born smart often have stronger intellectual curiosity.（3）Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity？ ____ A.Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.B.It is natural and common among humans and animals.C.It is often related to some adventurous activities.D.Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.（4）What does the author mean in the last paragraph？ ____ A.Curiosity takes many different forms.B.People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.C.uriosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.D.People should do more research on curiosity with some curiosity.（5）Which of the following is TRUE about the passage？ ____ A.It's safe to say that curiosity itself won't help uncover curiosity.B.People shouldn't have any curiosity.C.Intellectual curiosity contributes to school performance less than intelligence.D.Increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.
WARBy Luigi PirandelloThe passengers who had left Rome, Italy by the night express had had to stop until dawn at the small station of Fabriano in order to continue their journey by the small old-fashioned "local" joining the main line with Sulmona.At dawn, in a hot and smoky second-class carriage(车厢)in which five people had already spent the night, a tall and heavy woman in deep mourning, was came in—almost like a shapeless bundle, Behind her—puffing and moaning, followed her husband—a tiny man, thin and weakly, his face death-white, his eyes small and bright and looking shy and uneasy.Having at last taken a seat he politely thanked the passengers who had helped his wife and who had made room for her, then he turned round to the woman trying to pull down the collar of her coat and politely asked:"Are you all right, dear? "The wife, instead of answering, pulled up her collar again to her eyes, so as to hide her face."Nasty world, " muttered the husband with a sad smile.And he felt it his duty to explain to his traveling companions that the poor woman was to be pitied because the war was taking away from her only son, a boy of twenty to whom both had devoted their entire life, even breaking up their home at Sulmona to follow him to Rome where he had to go as a student, then allowing him to volunteer for war with an assurance, however, that at least for six months he would not be sent to the front and now, all of a sudden, receiving a wire saying that he was due to leave in three days' time and asking them to go and see him off.The woman under the big coat was twisting and turning, at times growling like a wild animal, feeling certain that all those explanations would not have aroused even a shadow of sympathy from those people who—most likely—were in the same plight as herself. One of them, who had been listening with particular attention, said:"You should thank God that your son is only leaving now for the front, Mine has been sent there the first day of the war. He has already come back twice wounded and been sent back again to the front.""What about me? I have two sons and three nephews at the front, " said another passenger."Maybe, but in our case, it is our only son, " ventured the husband."What difference can it make? You may spoil your only son with much attention, but you cannot love him more than you would all your other children if you had any. Paternal love is not like bread that can be broken into pieces and split amongst the children in equal shares. A father gives all his love to each one of his children without discrimination(歧视), whether it be one or ten, and if l am suffering now for my two sons, I am not suffering half for each of them but double…""True … true …" sighed the embarrassed husband, "but suppose (of course we all hope it will never be your case)a father has two sons at the front and he loses one of them, there is still one left to comfort him … while …""Yes, " answered the other, getting cross, "a son left to comfort him but also a son left for whom he must survive, while in the case of the father of an only son if the son dies the father can die too and put an end to his distress. Which of the two positions is the worse? Don't you see how my case would be worse than yours? ""Nonsense, " interrupted another traveler, a fat red-faced man with bloodshot eyes of the palest gray.He was panting From his bulging(鼓起的)eyes seemed to burst inner violence of an uncontrolled energy which his weakened body could hardly contain."Nonsense, " he repeated, trying to cover his mouth with his hand so as to hide the two missing front teeth. "Nonsense. Do we give life to our children for our own benefit? "The other travelers stared at him in sorrow. The one who had had his son at the front since the first day of the war sighed: "You are right. Our children do not belong to us, they belong to the Country …""Bosh, " replied angrily to the fat traveler. "Do we think of the Country when we give life to our children? Our sons are born because they must be born and when they come to life they take our own life with them. This is the truth. We belong to them but they never belong to us. And when they reach twenty they are exactly what we were at their age. We too had a father and mother, but there were so many other things as well … girls, cigarettes, illusions, new ties …and the Country, of course, whose call we would have answered—when we were twenty—even if father and mother had said no. Now, at our age, the love of our Country is still great, of course, but stronger than it is the love for our children. Is there any one of us here who wouldn't gladly take his son's place at the front if he could? "There was a silence all around, everybody nodding as to approve."Why then, " continued the fat man, "shouldn't we consider the feelings of our children when they are twenty? Isn't it natural that at their age they should consider the love for their Country (I am speaking of decent boys, of course)even greater than the love for us? Isn't it natural that it should be so, as after all, they must look upon us as upon old boys who cannot move any more and must stay at home? If Country exists, if Country is a natural necessity like bread, of which each of us must eat in order not to die of hunger, somebody must go to defend it. And our sons go, when they are twenty, and they don't want tears, because if they die, they die inflamed and happy(I am speaking, of course, of good boys). Now, if one dies young and happy, without having the ugly sides of life, the boredom of it, the pettiness, the bitterness of disillusion(幻灭)… what more can we ask for him? Everyone should stop crying: everyone should laugh, as I do … or at least thank God—as I do—because my son, before dying, sent me a message saying that he was dying satisfied at having ended his life in the best way he could have wished. That is why, as you see, I do not even wear mourning …"He shook his light fawn coat as to show it; his livid lip over his missing teeth was trembling, his eyes were watery and motionless, and soon after, he ended with a shrill laugh which might well have been a sob."Quite so … quite so …" agreed the others.The woman who, bundled in a corner under her coat, had been sitting and listening had—for the last three months—tried to find in the words of her husband and her friends something to console her in her deep sorrow, something that might show her how a mother should resign herself to send her son not even to death but to a probable danger of life. Yet not a word had she found amongst the many which had been said … and her grief had been greater in seeing that nobody—as she thought—could share her feelings.But now the words of the traveler amazed and almost stunned her. She suddenly realized that it wasn't the others who were wrong and could not understand her but herself who could not rise up to the same height of those fathers and mothers willing to resign themselves, without crying, not only to the departure of their sons but even to their death.She lifted her head; she bent over from her corner trying to listen with great attention to the details which the fat man was giving to his companions about the way his son had fallen as a hero, for his King and his Country, happy and without regrets. It seemed to her that she had stumbled into a world she had never dreamt of, a world so far unknown to her and she was so pleased to hear everyone joining in congratulating that brave father who could so stoically speak of his child's death.Then suddenly, just as if she had heard nothing of what had been said and almost as if waking up from a dream, she turned to the old man, asking him:"Then … is your son really dead? "Everybody stared at her. The old man, too, turned to look at her fixing his great, bulging, horribly watery light gray eyes, deep in her face, For some little time he tried to answer, but words failed him. He looked and looked at her, almost as if only then—at that silly, incongruous(不协调的)question—he had suddenly realized at last that his son was really dead … gone forever … forever. His face contracted, became horribly distorted, then he snatched in haste a handkerchief from his pocket and, to the amazement of everyone, broke into heart-breaking, uncontrollable sobs.(1)How did the woman feel about their son leaving home? (2)What is the "fat red-faced man" like? Support your idea with evidence.(3)If you were in the carriage with these parents, who would you choose to comfort? How would you do it? (4)What can you learn from this story? Support your idea with evidence.

When it comes to traveling, sometimes taking a journey alone can be great. Traveling solo allows for a time of introspection (内省), relaxation and self-discovery, when you can take the time to soak in the finer things the world has to offer. The independence gained by going alone allows for the opportunity to experience your choice destination exactly the way you want. (1) Where to stay So you’ve finally decided to take advantage of some well-earned vacation time and visit Prague, the city of your dreams. Because you’ll be all by yourself, the planning of your trip is automatically different. One of the first questions worth addressing is how you’re going to spend your time in the beautiful Czech Republic capital. Are you going on a shoestring (用钱极少的) budget, or would you rather go all-out and book a room in a fancy hotel Because traveling alone means your money is funding the trip, a wise choice would be to stay in youth hostels. Cast away the misconception that these places are unaccommodating and dirty, and accept the fact that hostels provide safe, clean, comfortable, and most importantly, cheap housing that millions of students and thrifty travelers take advantage of every year. It is relatively easy to book a room at a hostel via the Internet, and plenty of information is available about each one. On the other hand, if you can’t wait to take advantage of room service and a nice bath tub, opt for a hotel. (2) Have a plan Along with securing your accommodations, prepare an itinerary (行程表) for each day before you leave. This plan should include everything from visiting ’all the famous landmarks to some relaxation time, which is essential since you’ll likely be walking for miles in your comfortable shoes(invest in a good pair, it will pay off). As great as organization is, however, you may. at times, not be able to follow your plan to leave room for some spontaneity (自发性) on your trip. Herein lies the beauty of traveling alone: You are your own master, and while preparation is key, there is always room for a change. One of the hardest parts of traveling in general is coming up with a list of what you’ll need to bring with you (or leave behind). Thinking of these all-important items becomes all the more difficult (and necessary) when you have no one else to rely on. (1) Carry a dictionary If you’re heading for a foreign country, don’t leave home without a bilingual (双语的) dictionary. Although a strong grasp of Czech will prove quite difficult, it is still important to learn phrases like "thank you", "hello", "please" and "I don’t know she charged money for her time", in case you’re in a disadvantageous situation. (2) Make copies of documents Make a copy of all essential travel documents such as your passport and health insurance to leave behind with someone you trust, in the event of an emergency. (3) Bring a credit card Along with cash, bring a credit card as an emergency method of payment and make sure to take note of your credit card company’s customer service line in case of loss or theft. That way, you can cancel your card immediately and have a new one delivered to you while on your trip (if possible). (4) Pack pleasure items A book to enjoy on a train ride or on the beach, a journal to record your experiences, and maps to educate yourself on the layout of the land (you can get these from a tourism bureau), can make a world of a difference. With these things in mind and a positive mindset, you are now officially ready to set out on your own. (1) Finally There You’ve taken the big step, said goodbye to family and friends, endured a long plane ride, and are finally in the place you dreamed of visiting.., until now. You might be quite overwhelmed by our new surroundings, but there are ways to control these feelings of over-stimulation. Instead of being an outsider looking in, try to transform yourself into a relaxed traveler who is not deterred by minor setbacks, such as long lines at the train station or delays in visiting hours of certain landmarks. If you planned accordingly, then you can afford to "waste" time at the busy tourist hotspots. Besides, you’re on vacation, and have nowhere to be! Another benefit of traveling alone is the ability to explore museums and engage in other time-consuming activities. There is no pressure to rush through exhibits or cut the visit short; pace yourself and take in the masterpieces, whether you’re an art lover or just an admirer. (2) Getting around Make an effort to walk everywhere--within reason, of course. This will help you get in touch with the area (so to speak) and observe the locals in their element. Using your legs also allows you to find attractively old-fashioned shops and cafes more easily than if you were on some splendid tour bus. Your goal should be to blend in, something a planned (and perhaps overpriced) tour won’t likely offer. Wear loose, light clothing because the more comfortable you feel, the more willing you will be to stay out an extra hour to explore a section you might have overlooked. Remain enthusiastic, relaxed and prepared, and the stories you will have to share upon your return will be priceless. Bring along a camera with lots of films. Leave your itinerary with someone at home, along with the numbers of each place you’re staying at. It’s okay if your plans are not so detailed, but if there is a big change in your plans, you might want to email the new information to your "in case of emergency" person back home. Stay safe and keep an eye out when it comes to money or your belongings; you don’t have a companion to catch the pickpocket creeping up from behind. While "carpe diem (及时行乐)" is important, so is safety. Be carefree, but don’t throw caution to the wind.What is the suggested reaction towards the setbacks on the trip A．Getting over-stimulatedB．Keeping yourself busyC．Feeling annoyedD．Relaxing yourself

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.

Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
