Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just don't talk about it.
These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners". It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead, the idea is to just on the food
"Silent dinner parties are fast growing, " said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia and the United States. "The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it. "
According to a 2013 nationwide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer (顾客) complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.
Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis (瑜伽信徒) have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple (寺庙) in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.
"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour, " said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.
"It's funny; when I first opened EAT, I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions (反映) to that," said Colon. "Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed. "
Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. "At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh."
24. The first paragraph is written to be a(n)_______.
A. Conclusion
B. Introduction
C. Argument
D. warning
25. At silent dinner parties, people should not________.
A. leave before they finish eating
C. use a mobile phone or listen to music
B. just pay attention to the food
D. take electronic devices to the party
26. What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?
A. Silent meals help people live longer.
C. More and more people like eating in silence.
B. Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners.
D. The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago.
27. In Jordan Colon's opinion, silent dinners
A. make people comfortable and relaxed
C. can help him to attract more customers
B. are hard to be accepted by most people
D. provide a chance to get to know others
C
When my oldest son was in high school, he planned to attend a concert with his young friends. To my surprise, Aron invited me to go along. I quickly accepted. However, by the time the date of the concert arrived, my youngest son had been ill, and I was worried about him. My husband encouraged me to attend the concert, promising he would look after our youngest son. Finally, it hit me. Aron was 16 years old. How many years would I have to do something fun with him before he went to college? And how many youths invite their mothers to attend a concert with them that was clearly for teens? The decision was made. I'd not miss this chance.
At the concert, I sat with Aron in the third row, stuffing (填满) cotton in my ears to block out the loud music of the first performer. I stood when the kids stood, clapped (鼓掌) when they clapped, and never let anyone know how nervous I was to feel the floor shaking under my feet. Aron and his friends were amazed at my enthusiasm(热情).
When we left the concert, my ears were ringing, but it quickly passed. So did my son's teenage years. Soon he was in college and away from home. I missed him more than I could say. On days when I was especially lonely for his happy smile, I would think back to the concert we attended and thank myself again that I didn't miss a chance to spend time with my son.

I've spent much of my life dealing with written and spoken words. Now I'm a technologist making use of natural language processing for human good. Given that I work in artificial intelligence(Al), I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are ruining the way we communicate.
Al voices are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent(口音)you set your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. It's difficult to normalize language to be inoffensive because sometimes we do make people feel uncomfortable or even make them annoyed. Yet this is exactly what we're asking artificial intelligence to do for us on a billion-person scale. Once these rules are carried out by machines, they're unavoidable and create much bigger issues.
We notice that there is an active desire to only include standardized language in Al-powered tools in an attempt to avoid including potentially hateful or offensive language. And these Al-powered tools are exactly what we use to complete our thoughts almost at any given time. They are everywhere-in our emails, word processors, and web pages. The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. But what's the cost? We're trading uniqueness and accuracy for convenience. We're also handing the power of acceptable speech to machines not people.
In the real world, people don't communicate like a Wikipedia(维基百科) article. We use tone(语气), humor and facial expressions. We can tell where people were born based on their accents and wording. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is constantly changing. So we should demand Al systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. We should demand to know how Al is developed and the data used to build it. Because we all deserve this.
32. What does the underlined word "inoffensive" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hateful
B. Valuable
C. Harmless
D. Beneficial
33. How can we promote Al voice?
A. Al voice should be legalized.
B. Al voice should be modernized
C. Al voice should be standardized.
D. Al voice should be personalized.
34. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Al systems should be improved.
B. Al systems deserve more support.
C. Al systems are becoming more human like.
D. Al systems are destroying our communication.
35. What's the author's tone in the passage?
A. Praising.
B. Concerned.
C. Humorous.
D. Matter-of-fact.

Tips on Building Self Confidence
What can you do to create more confidence? The point is that you can learn how to gain more confidence by knowing what specifically to work on.
1. Practice.
Let's say, if you have never danced on the dance floor, most likely, your first time was a bit scary. However, after you went a few dozen times, it wasn't as scary. 36
The more you do something, the more confident you will be at it.
1. 37
Practice can be great, but many times, you will be in a situation where you have to be confident on the spot. In this case, you need to act like you have lots of confidence. 38 Remember that when you force your body to move confidently, you will finally start to feel more confidently.
3. Look good.
Many times, lack of self-confidence can come from worrying about how you look to other people. 39
This can mean different things to different people. The point is to remove the worry of your appearance by doing whatever it is you need to do to make you feel good about yourself.
4. Change your focus.
40 Try focusing on other people and how you can contribute to them. When you take the focus away from yourself and put it onto others, it will help your fear go away because you won't be thinking about it.
A. Take it seriously.
B. Pretend it until you make it.
C. This can come through practice.
D. This is just an example but you get the point.
E. You can solve this by making sure you look your best.

I found that Minnie had been unhappy ever since her family moved away from Hartford, but I was never quite sure how to approach her about it.
From the time she was a child. she was abnormally quiet; she would rarely speak unless she was spoken to,
and even then her response would be very little. Despite her soft-spoken nature. she showed a great interest in art-particularly painting. Whatever she lacked in words, she made up with the paintbrush, and so it was through her paintings that I first noticed something was wrong. When she painted an animal, it would be the pigeons(鸽子)flying in Hanford Park; or, when she painted a person, it would be the partner she played badminton with at the Hartford playground. Whether intentionally or not, he sowed in her paintings what she hesitated to put into words.
Being her elder cousin. I was eager to make her move to the big city as smooth as possible. Hartford was a small country town.so Minnie had grown up alongside familiar faces who were used to her timidity(羞怯). But in the city everyone was a stranger, which made it a challenge for her to communicate with others.
This problem was more obvious with her changing schools. What's more, she was under some pressure to improve her grades. Although she was a good student, her mother was very demanding of her. She always wanted Minnie to seize all the opportunities to be the best, but it was really difficult for Minnie.
On Fridays when my high school finishes early, I usually head over to the middle school to walk Minnie home. It being such a Friday, I approached the school gate expecting to find her waiting for me as usual, but she wasn't there.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The guard said he had seen Minnie leave alone already.
