B Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Chien-Shiung Wu was not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human's view of the universe. Wu's father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women's virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Chien-Shiung Wu's life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu's pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”， “queen of nuclear research” and “the first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn't start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. 24．What influenced Chien-Shiung Wu when she was young? A．Her life in America. B．Her love for physics. C．Her family background. D．Marie Curie's achievements. 25．What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A．Awards are usually gained through great efforts.　 B．Chien-Shiung Wu was “a pioneer” in many ways. C．No scientists were better than Chien-Shiung Wu.　 D．We cannot stress the importance of physics enough. 26．Which of the following can best describe Chien-Shiung Wu? A．Caring and responsible. B．Courageous and creative. C．Stubborn and sensitive. D．Cautious and hard-working. 27．What is the passage mainly about? A．An influential woman nuclear physicist. B．An important contribution to physics. C．The influence of modern education. D．Nuclear researches in scientific world. C Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation (适度) also gets results on the job. In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language.Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn't pay to be a perfectionist. How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter，while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer，” says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort. Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work，” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.” 28．What does Ellen Langer's study show? A．It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B．Translation makes people knowledgeable. C．Simpler jobs require greater caution. D．Moderate effort produces the best result. 29．What does the underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Someone who is good at handling pressure. B．Someone who works hard to become successful. C．Someone who has a natural talent for his job. D．Someone who gets on well with his co-workers.　 30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B．Experience unrelated to your job is useless. C．A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. D．Focusing on what you do raises productivity. 31．What does the passage seem to advocate? A．Middle-of-the-road work habits. B．Balance between work and family. C．Long-standing cultural traditions. D．Harmony in the work environment. D Learning a new language is like you're going through the jungle with a knife and creating a path. When you learn two languages at once, you're cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths, which requires twice the discipline (自律), time and motivation. But it is possible. A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Multilingualism found that Chinese students learning English and Russian at the same time achieved similar mastery in English compared to a control group that just studied English. This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts. A 2017 study suggested that bilinguals (双语者) can learn new languages faster than single-language learners. The biggest challenge of learning two languages at the same time is finding enough time and opportunities to study them. But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it, you'll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you're planning to adopt. Becoming professor-level fluent in Polish is going to take a really long time, but if you want to be able to have conversations while you're traveling, that won't take as much time. To help you distribute (分配) your time and energy more effectively, and get a better idea of what your study plan will look like, it's important to understand how difficult a particular language is for a native English speaker. While it can take up to 2，200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin, if you grew up speaking English, it'll be easier for you to pick up Czech and German, for example. The easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include Spanish French and Portuguese, which require between 600 and 750 hours of class to achieve professional mastery. If it feels too discouraging to go full speed ahead on both languages right away, it might be easier to understand basic grammar and vocabulary for one language before adding another one to the mix. 32．Why can bilingual learners do as well as single-language learners? A．Bilingual learners are cleverer. B．Bilingual learners work harder. C．Bilingual learners are more interested in languages. D．Bilingual learners have a better learning environment. 33．What determines the time it takes to learn foreign languages? A．The occasions of using the languages. B．The steps to learn the languages. C．The professors teaching the languages. D．The purpose of learning the languages. 34．Which language is the hardest for native English speakers according to the passage? A．French. B．German. C．Mandarin. D．Portuguese. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．Learning Two Languages at Once B．Ways of Learning a New Language C．Language Talent of Chinese Students D．Difficulty in Learning Language 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Matilda Browne (1869-1947) was a successful artist in the early 20th century.

She won numerous awards and exhibited in many important shows. However, very few people know about her today. This is a more common story for female artists than one might think.

I've always loved kids and arts, but I was 50 of business. Nevertheless, because of the marathon, I had a model for how to 51 it—step by step. So, again: I read books, talked to friends and found 52 . Through it all, I became a successful entrepreneur. I keep my Marathon medal above my desk not to 53 my achievements but to remind myself every big goal can always be 54 into individual steps. When you combine enough steps, you will 55 to the finishing line. 41．A．storyteller　　　 　　 B．bystander C．benchwarmer D．cheerleader 42．A．process B．progress C．platform D．position 43．A．drawn B．claimed C．adopted D．employed 44．A．stage B．strategy C．standard D．status 45．A．attention B．balance C．energy D．breath 46．A．walker B．runner C．player D．jumper 47．A．due B．last C．big D．large 48．A．Likely B．Entirely C．Necessarily D．Absolutely 49．A．distinguish B．establish C．engage D．explore 50．A．ignorant B．aware C．short D．capable 51．A．improve B．promote C．arrange D．approach 52．A．colleagues B．coaches C．competitors D．cooperators 53．A．show off B．take off C．call off D．put off 54．A．boiled down B．come down C．broken down D．torn down 55．A．get it B．take it C．name it D．make it 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Chong Yang Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the café without looking back. Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.” Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But their parents had told him, “You don't need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can't! What if the owner comes to look for it？” After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary's hand and led her out of the café quickly. Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this? He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest？” Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl's phone number. Why don't we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone，” she was trying to talk some sense into him. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time.______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Mary was very happy to hear that.______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null Unit 2【单元测试卷】 (满分：150分　时间：120分钟) 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分 7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where does the conversation most probably take place?

But I am constantly hearing this annoying sound.② (Text 3) M：How are you getting to the airport？③ W：Well, I haven't really got any choice—I have to take the bus.③ My car is at the garage getting repaired and taking a taxi is just too expensive. (Text 4) W：Have you decided what you will do this afternoon? M：Yeah, I will meet Paul at two and we will play football if the weather is good.④ W：Well, it's clear and blue at the moment, so I don't think it will rain.

M：Yes, but I can't change it now.⑤ (Text 6) W：Are you a football fan, Gomez? M：Yes. I go to the stadium whenever there's a good game. And if I can't get a ticket, I will watch the game on TV.⑥ That way they're less exciting, though. W：Is the ticket expensive? M：It depends. It usually costs about 20－50 dollars. Last time I paid $25 .⑦ W：That's not very expensive. Maybe we can go together sometime. M：Great! It'll be more fun to watch the game with a friend. (Text 7) M：It'll be Saturday tomorrow. What are you going to do? W：Nicholas and I are going to have a picnic on the hill.⑧ Would you like to go there with us? M：I'm sorry, but I'm going to help my uncle do the farming on his farm.⑨ There is always too much work. W：But you can't do it all. I have never heard you mentioned farm work before. M：Perhaps it's easy to learn to do the work. And my uncle can teach me, too. Besides, I enjoy working on the farm.⑩ The air is fresh, and the flowers are sweet there. Everything is beautiful. W：It sounds wonderful. I hope to have a chance to do that. How will you go there? M：By bus. It will take me only an hour to get to the farm. I used to go there by bike with my father. But I will go there by bus by myself tomorrow. W：Take care while you're on the farm, or you'll hurt yourself. M：Thanks. I'll be careful. (Text 8) W：Hello, could I speak to Michael, please? This is Sarah here. M：This is Michael speaking. W：Ah, Michael, are you attending the conference tomorrow morning at the Shelton Hotel? M：Yes, are you? W：Yeah, but when I arrived home 5 minutes ago，⑫ I found that my car wouldn't start. And John is in Brighton on business.⑭ M：Do you know what's wrong with the car? W：I'm not exactly sure. I think there's a problem with the engine. Er, I wonder if you could give me a ride to the hotel tomorrow morning.⑪ M：Sure, when shall I be at your place? W：Well, what about 8 o'clock? From my place to Shelton we have to drive through the quarters, so we'd better leave early to avoid the traffic. M：OK, no problem. It takes 20 minutes to reach your place, so I'll set off at 7：40 .⑬ By the way, do you also need me to drive you home tomorrow afternoon? W：No. John would be back then and he'll get me home.⑭ Thank you, Michael. M：That's OK. See you tomorrow. (Text 9) W：Dan, what are you going to do when you graduate from this college？⑮ M：Perhaps I'll find a job as an instructor in a gym. You know, I have a part-time job in a local gym, training people to work out. I kind of like it. Now what about you? W：Well, I'm thinking of going on with my studies. My dream is to become a teacher, and I need a related degree for it.⑯ M：Then which university would you like to go to? W：I haven't made up my mind yet. M：Do you have any idea what you are going to teach? W：I can't tell for sure now. Perhaps art or singing and dancing. You know, I always like being with young students. That way, I'll always feel young myself. M：That sounds quite similar to what I'd like to do. If being with young people makes you feel young, then helping people build up their physical strength will keep me strong and healthy.⑰ W：Yes, I agree with you. Hope our dreams will come true. (Text 10) If you are planning to organize a summer camp for children, you need to have a good plan of action. Now I'd like to help you make the camp more fun. First, you ought to have a camp theme.

Wu's father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women's virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Chien-Shiung Wu's life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu's pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”， “queen of nuclear research” and “the first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn't start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了20世纪最有影响力的核物理学家之一——吴健雄的生平事迹。 24．What influenced Chien-Shiung Wu when she was young? A．Her life in America.

In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language.Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn't pay to be a perfectionist. How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter，while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer，” says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort. Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work，” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了许多人认为工作到最大限度是成功的秘诀，但研究发现，适度的工作也会带来成果。 28．What does Ellen Langer's study show? A．It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist. B．Translation makes people knowledgeable. C．Simpler jobs require greater caution. D．Moderate effort produces the best result. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容及第二段中的“In a study led by Ellen Langer...those who practiced extensively or not at all.”可知，第一段提出主题，即适度的工作也会带来成果，接着第二段用埃伦·兰格的研究来证明这一点。由此可推知，埃伦·兰格的研究表明适度的努力会产生最好的结果。 29．What does the underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Someone who is good at handling pressure. B．Someone who works hard to become successful. C．Someone who has a natural talent for his job. D．Someone who gets on well with his co-workers.　 B　解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“while his colleagues...from the corner office”可知，那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事会被认为不努力工作；相反，那些在办公桌前吃午饭的年轻银行家可能被视为一个努力工作以求成功的人。由此可推知，画线词指“努力工作以求成功的人”。 30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．A good thinker is able to inspire other people. B．Experience unrelated to your job is useless. C．A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind. D．Focusing on what you do raises productivity. C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.”可推知，愉快的心情有助于产生创造性思维。 31．What does the passage seem to advocate? A．Middle-of-the-road work habits. B．Balance between work and family. C．Long-standing cultural traditions. D．Harmony in the work environment. A　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“High conscientiousness...where it doesn't pay to be a perfectionist.”可推知，本文提倡适度工作，即中庸的工作习惯。 D Learning a new language is like you're going through the jungle with a knife and creating a path. When you learn two languages at once, you're cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths, which requires twice the discipline (自律), time and motivation. But it is possible. A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Multilingualism found that Chinese students learning English and Russian at the same time achieved similar mastery in English compared to a control group that just studied English. This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts. A 2017 study suggested that bilinguals (双语者) can learn new languages faster than single-language learners. The biggest challenge of learning two languages at the same time is finding enough time and opportunities to study them. But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it, you'll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you're planning to adopt. Becoming professor-level fluent in Polish is going to take a really long time, but if you want to be able to have conversations while you're traveling, that won't take as much time. To help you distribute (分配) your time and energy more effectively, and get a better idea of what your study plan will look like, it's important to understand how difficult a particular language is for a native English speaker. While it can take up to 2，200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin, if you grew up speaking English, it'll be easier for you to pick up Czech and German, for example. The easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include Spanish French and Portuguese, which require between 600 and 750 hours of class to achieve professional mastery. If it feels too discouraging to go full speed ahead on both languages right away, it might be easier to understand basic grammar and vocabulary for one language before adding another one to the mix. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了同时学习两种语言的人不但能够和单一语言学习者一样掌握这门语言，而且可以比单一语言学习者学习得更快。 32．Why can bilingual learners do as well as single-language learners? A．Bilingual learners are cleverer. B．Bilingual learners work harder. C．Bilingual learners are more interested in languages. D．Bilingual learners have a better learning environment. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When you learn two languages at once...requires twice the discipline, time and motivation.”及第二段中的“This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts.”可知，同时学习两种语言的人付出的努力更大。 33．What determines the time it takes to learn foreign languages? A．The occasions of using the languages. B．The steps to learn the languages. C．The professors teaching the languages. D．The purpose of learning the languages. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But to know just how many efforts...you're planning to adopt.”可知，决定学习外语花费多长时间取决于学习语言的目的。 34．Which language is the hardest for native English speakers according to the passage? A．French. B．German. C．Mandarin. D．Portuguese. C　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“While it can take up to 2，200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin...to achieve professional mastery.”可知，对于以英语为母语的人来说，普通话是最难学习的。 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．Learning Two Languages at Once B．Ways of Learning a New Language C．Language Talent of Chinese Students D．Difficulty in Learning Language A　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“When you learn two languages at once”及第二段中的“A 2020 study...than single-language learners.”可知，本文介绍了同时学习两种语言的人比单一语言学习者学习得更快且同样能掌握得很好。因此，A项最适合作文章标题。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Matilda Browne (1869-1947) was a successful artist in the early 20th century.

Therefore, though I'd never run even 5 kilometers before, I entered the lottery (抽签) to run a marathon, a 42 where only a small number of people are randomly selected. Somehow, my name was 43 ． I figured the only way to finish the 42 kilometers was to start by running just one. But even one kilometer proved too hard, so I adjusted the 44 . I ran several minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my 45 . I repeated that for months. Besides, I read books, talked to friends and found coaches. Step by step, I became a 46 ． Then the 47 day came when I showed up at the starting line with other competitors. Did I win? Certainly not!

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the café without looking back. Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.” Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But their parents had told him, “You don't need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can't! What if the owner comes to look for it？” After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary's hand and led her out of the café quickly. Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this? He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest？” Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl's phone number. Why don't we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone，” she was trying to talk some sense into him. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time.______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Mary was very happy to hear that.______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ One possible version： That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. He had difficulty sleeping, uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new cellphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her cellphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.” Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner's house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone? I'm Keith. I have your cellphone. Can you come and get it？” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same café to meet Keith. Handing back the cellphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
