A
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone
happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick
the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives
and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed
Over 6o years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children
甚
who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected.
he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this
by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbours, he gave those
people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other
Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called "Sweetest
2
Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and
children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an
occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to
other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family
relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it
meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day
offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.

将
A. Visiting sick people of the hospital
B. Visiting children who have lost their parents.

As the days get shorter and the chilly weather rolls in, we all want to curl up in a
blanket and hibernate until spring rolls around. But making time to get outside in the sun.
even when it's cold out, could have bigger mental benefits than you might realize
While the link between sunshine and mental health is nothing new, new research from
Brigham Young University (BYU) has shown that the association may be even stronger
than previously realized. It finds that sunlight exposure is by far the greatest weather
related factor determining mental health outcomes. In other words: more sunshine, more
happiness.
For the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from BYU teamed up to
compare daily environmental data from the university's Physics and Astronomy Weather
Station with emotional health data archived by day for 16,452 adult therapy patients who
were being treated at the BYU Counseling and Psychological Services Center.
Exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal affective disorder. Research has
shown that the brain produces more of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin on sunny
days than it does on darker davs. What's more,lack of sunlight is linked with lower vitamin
D levels, which in turn has been related with depression and low energy.
If you're getting enough sun, your emotions should remain relatively stable.
the
researchers found. But as the amount of sunlight in the day is reduced, levels of emotional
pain can soar. Other weather variables including temperature, pollution and rain were not
found to have an impact on mental health.
“We were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in
the study were not significantly related with clients' scores on the emotional pain measure
once we had accounted for suntime,"Dr. Mark Beeeher, a professor of psychology at the
university and the study's lead author, said. "People tend to associate rainy days, pollution
and other meteorological phenomena with sadness or depression, but we did not find that.'
4. What does the author suggest we do in Paragraph 1?
A. Realize the benefits of sunshine.
B. Avoid hibernating in springtime
C. Curl up in a blanket in cold weather. D. Enjoy sunshine even in cold weather
5. The underlined word soar in Paragraph 5 most probably means"
”.
C. drop slightly
A. rise sharply
B. vary unstably
D. change greatly
6. What does the passage say about the research done by BYU?
A. It is done on normal adults of various ages.
B. It is carried out by Dr. Mark Beecher alone
8-2
C. It concludes that sunshine means happiness.
D. It finds that temperature affects mental health.
7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Lower vitamin D levels are helpful in keeping us energetic.
B. The research findings are inconsistent with the popular belief
C. The more sunshine we get, the less excited we are likely to feel.
D. The link between sunshine and mental health was unknown before
C
We are the products of evolution,and not just evolution that occurred billions of years
ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因),they are finding examples of human
evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to
living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have
gained a mutation(突变)that helps them digest milk as adults
On Thursday in an article published in Cell,a team of researchers reported a new kind
of adaptation- not to air or to food,but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in
Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known.
number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have
traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they've also built houses on stilts(支柱)
in coastal waters. "They are simply a stranger to the land,"said Rodney C. Jubilado,a
University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.
They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish."We were so amazed that
they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,"Dr. Jubilado said."I could
see them actually walking under the sea."
In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of
Copenhagen,heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to
the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “It seemed like
the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,"said Dr. llardo. She also
said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
8. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1
A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers
B. New knowledge of human evolution.
C. Recent findings of human origin.
D. Significance of food selection.
9. Where do the Bajau build their houses?
A. In valleys.
C. On the beach.
B. Near rivers.
D. Off the coast.
8-3
10. Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?
A. They could walk on stilts all day.
B. They had a superb way of fishing.
C. They could stay long underwater.
D. They lived on both land and water
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bodies Remodeled for a Life at Sea B. Highlanders'Survival Skills
C. Basic Methods of Genetic Research
D. The World's Best Divers
D
There's nothing like a good night's sleep-but what does that really mean? It turns
out that the answer depends not only on your age, but also on your lifestyle. Some people
are productive and happy with fewer hours of sleep, while others need more. Still, experts
can determine guidelines that work for most people. The National Sleep Foundation
researched the topic and gave new recommendations. The foundation acknowledges that
sleep needs will vary-lifestyle and stress should be taken into consideration-but their
recommendations offer a general guideline. For example, teenagers need 8-1o hours
sleep every day.
To create the recommendations, some sleep and medical experts reviewed 312 articles
from journals published during the last decade. This is the first time that a professional
organization has developed age-specific recommended sleep duration based on a systematic
review of the world scientific literature.
A lack of sleep can be linked to weight gain, because that causes an increase in
appetite, according to the foundation. It can also have serious consequences on the brain.
People who do not get enough sleep are at increased risk of depression, and can endanger
others. Those who become sleepy while driving, for example, risk both their lives and the
lives of those around them.
Researchers also have found in the past that too much sleep can have negative effects.
Low socio-economic status (收入水平低)and depression reportedly are significantly
associated with longer sleep. However, experts nowadays find that research
on
oversleeping is still unconvincing and needs more attention. Currently, there is no strong
evidence that sleeping too much has health consequences. There is, however, laboratory
evidence that short sleep duration of four to five hours has negative consequences. We need
similar laboratory studies to determine whether long sleep duration results in physiological
changes that could lead to disease before we make any recommendations against sleep
extension.
12. What can be learned about sleeping time?
A. The time you need for sleep is related to your state of mind.
B. Experts' guidelines for sleeping time apply to all the people.
8-4
C. The less you sleep, the more productive you are.
D. The more you sleep, the more energetic you are.
13. How did the National Sleep Foundation do the research?
A. By interviewing different people.
B. By reading lots of articles.
C. By consulting other experts.
D. By doing systematic experiments.
14. What will people without enough sleep probably do according to the research?
A. Lose some weight.
B. Eat more food.
C. Dream during their sleep.
D. Drive faster than usual.
15. What can be learned from Paragraph 4?
A. Too much sleep may result in social changes
B. Researchers now agree with those in the past.
C. More research on oversleeping is needed.
D. Research on oversleeping is quite convincing

多余选项。
Many employers ask potential employees to provide references, both personal and
professional, before hiring. 16 If asked to write a job reference for a friend, you should
aim to give a clear, honest insight into the character of the person you're writing a
reference for.
Begin your letter of reference by briefly introducing yourself and your
familiarity to
your friend. 17 And remember to state that you're writing a letter of reference on behalf
of your friend.
Use brief sentences to describe the quality and character of your friend. A couple of
well-chosen adjectives will do. Too many adjectives will make your letter sound not
natural. Be honest and say something nice about your friend in your letter of
reference. 18
Give details about any work experience you've had with your friend. If you can add
anything about his or her commitment to finishing a job, be sure to include it. 19 Aim
to keep your letter on around one page and no more than one and a half pages.
20 Tell the potential employer why your friend would be a valuable asset (有价值
的人) to the company. Include your contact information and state that you are available for
further questions if need be.
A. Offer some evidence that you admire your friend.
B. Be sure to cover both the strengths and weaknesses of your friend
C. Employers use these references to know about a potential employee.
8-5
D. But don't sound as if you're trying too hard to make your friend look perfect.
E. If you have concrete examples, give them without going into too much detail.
F. Make it clear how long you have known the person you're writing the reference for.
G. Conclude your letter by stating that you recommend your friend for the job and why.

Desiree, a 4-year-old girl, was sobbing quietly over her father, Ken, who had died
nine months earlier. She was hugging a photograph of her father with her fingers running
around his face."Daddy," she said softly.“Why won't you come back?"
8-7
Instead of gradually adjusting to her father's death, Desiree refused to accept it.
“Daddy will be home soon,"she'd tell her mother."He's at work."When she played with
her toy telephone, she pretended she was chatting with her father."I miss you, Daddy,"
she'd say."When will you come back?" Desiree's situation made her mother worried.
Davs later, it was Ken's birthday, "How will I send him a card?"Desiree asked her
mother.“How about if we tie a letter to a balloon,”her mother said, "and send it up tc
sky?" Desiree's eyes immediately lit up
Her mother took her to a store and Desiree picked out a balloon with HAPPY
BIRTHDAY above a drawing of The Little Mermaid(美人鱼). Desiree and her father had
often watched it. The child's eyes shone as they were on the way to Ken's grave. Then
Desiree dictated a letter to her dad. "Tell him,'Happy birthday, I love you and miss
you,'"she rattled off(脱口而出)."'I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday
inJanuary.'"
Her mother wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper, which was
then wrapped in plastic and tied to the end of the string on the balloon. Finally, Desiree
released the balloon. For almost an hour, they watched the shining spot of silver grow
smaller and smaller till disappear,“Now Dad's going to write back to me,”Desiree declared
confidently.
Every day since they'd released the balloon, Desiree had asked her mother,"Do you
think Daddy has my balloon yet?" Several weeks passed, and she stopped asking
