(B) After a whole day’s work in my office, I walked home. On the busy street, I saw a young man selling some small toys around the corner. Usually, I would hurry past such sellers and never buy anything. But when I noticed he was blind, I decided to stand there for some time. I wanted to see how he sold his toys. Soon, a little girl came with her mother and wanted a toy. The toy was 18 yuan. The mother took out a 20-yuan note (钞票). She told the young man how much she was giving him and wanted the change back. I was wondering what he was going to do next. He told the mother to put the money in his bag and get the change herself. Then she did so. What the young man did shocked me. He chose to trust (信任) people even if he couldn’t see. I was so touched that I made a decision to buy a toy although I didn’t need it at all. He said it cost 18 yuan and I told him that I had only one 20-yuan note. Again he told me to do the same thing as the mother. I put my 20 yuan in his bag, but I didn’t take any change. As I walked down the street, I saw a little boy with his father and I gave him the toy I bought. I was happy to see the smile on his face. The young man was a good example to us all. On my way home, I kept thinking the world would be a better place if we all could learn to trust other people more, just like the young blind street seller. 根据材料内容，选择最佳答案。 26．What did the writer do when he saw the young man?

C．She got her change herself from the bag. D．Her daughter helped her get the change from the seller. 28．Why didn’t the writer take any change? A．Because he was too rich. B．Because he wanted to help the young man. C．Because he liked the toy he bought very much. D．Because he didn’t know how to get the change. 29．What’s the correct order according to the text? a.

A．A Moving Story B．A Kind Blind Seller C．Getting Change By Oneself D．Choosing To Trust People (C) Sleep is a physical and mental（精神的）need. We all need to sleep, though the sleep hours are different from person to person. Doctors do not know why we need sleep, but they all agree that sleep is very important to us. Without enough sleep, the body may be weak. One-third of adults have sleeplessness. There are over 80 kinds of sleep-related disorders（失调）. However, other adults are lucky and have no sleeping problems. They sleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows. Do you sleep well? If you have sleeplessness, here are a few suggestions. 1. Make a timetable, and stick to it. We need to sleep at regular times. If your bedtime and wake-up time change from day to day or on weekends, your sleep rhythms（节奏）aren’t predicted and the body doesn’t know how to act. So it’s important to have a regular wake-up time, even on weekends, vacations or after a night of poor sleep. 2. Don’t lie in bed awake. “The best sleep tip you can give somebody is to get up—don’t lie in bed awake,” sleep expert Grandner said. “Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up and reset（重新调整）. Maybe you just need five minutes to get sleepy, or maybe an hour, but don’t spend that time awake in bed.” 3. Change your thinking about sleep. “Many people regard sleeping as the final thing they have to do for daily activities. They would like to work or watch TV very late rather than sleep on time. That thinking needs to be changed.” Grandner said. “Don’t see your sleep as the time you have left in your day,” he advised. “See your sleep as the time you need in order to prepare yourself for an energetic（精力充沛的）tomorrow.” “It may sound like a small change in thinking, but it’s an important one.” Grandner added. 31．What may happen to the body without enough sleep? A．The body may be weak. B．The body may be heavy. C．The body may be awake. D．The body may be strong. 32．The first suggestion in the passage tells us _________. A．it’s not necessary to sleep regularly B．it’s not necessary to wake up regularly C．we should always sleep and wake up regularly D．we should sleep and wake up regularly on weekdays 33．If you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes at night, the best sleep tip is _________. A．closing your eyes and lying on the bed B．getting up and resetting C．drinking some hot tea D．using a smart phone and turning off the light 34．Which suggestion is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．Make a timetable, and stick to it. B．Don’t lie in bed awake. C．Listen to bedtime stories. D．Change your thinking about sleep. 35．The best title of the passage may be _________. A．Sleep Hours Are Different from Person to Person B．Sleep-related Disorders C．One-third of Adults Have Sleeplessness D．The Importance of Enough Sleep and Suggestions (D) 阅读下面短文，把A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 The world has been troubled by COVID-19 for over a year.
