When his elder sister gave birth to a baby girl., this young uncle took the occasion very seriously. Eighteen -year-old Grant Kessler of Ohio had a viral (广为传播的) moment after he put on a suit, tie and pocket square to prepare for his niece’s arrival.
Grant’s 16-year-old sister Iris tweeted a photo of him in the waiting room on Tuesday.

Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries so hat its recycling plants(工厂)can function smoothly. Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场)last year or any year since 2011.
We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under The Landfill Tax of 1996.
Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.
“In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems. We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association.
Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the freezing Swedish winter. “That’s a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants. In the southern part of Europe they don’t use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney. Here we use it as a substitute for fossil fuel,’’ Ms Gripwall says.
28. Why has Sweden been importing rubbish from abroad in the past few years?
A. To try out its recycling system. B. To keep its recycling plants running.
C. To stop rubbish ending up iri landfills. D. To make greater profits from rubbish.
29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sources” in Paragraph 3?
A. Consumes. B. Saves. C. Obtains. D. Improves.
30. How does Sweden handle the heating from the waste plants?
A. By making use of it to heat homes. B. By exchanging it for fossil fuel.
C. By selling it to other countries. D. By sending it out from the chimney.
31. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. People in Sweden will be fined if they don’t have their waste recycled.
B. Swedish rarely get close to nature to avoid harming it.
C. Waste is imported and burnt mainly by the government in Sweden.
D. Swedish have a strong environmental awareness.
D
Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too.
According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the researcher found that a high-price tag(标签)will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It’s concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,’’ Rebecca Reczek,researcher of the study, said.
According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief,also known as a lay(非专业的) theory, that eating healthy food means spending more money.
In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated it as pricier(更昂贵的) than those who thought it was unhealthy. In another experiment, participants were given a health food bar labeled(用标签标明)as “the healthiest protein bar on the planet”. Some participants were told the bar cost just $0.99, while others were told the bar was $ 4.
And here’s what happened: The people who were given the “cheaper” bar needed to read more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy.
The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against Reczek. “We don’t have to be misled,” she said. “We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition(直觉).”
32. Which of the following statements reflects the author’s opinion?
A. The cheaper food is, the less people will eat.
B. People’s health awareness needs improving.
C. The price of food can’t reflect its health degree.
D. It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs.
33. Why did Reczek carry out the study?
A. To prove her belief. B. To test a lay theory.
C. To promote healthy eating. D. To examine people’s idea of health.
34. What does Reczek suggest we do?
A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe our intuition.
C. Shop smartly. D. Ignore the price tag.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. People falsely believe pricier food is healthier
B. Don’t be misled by price tags any more
C. What influences our choices when we buy food?
D. How to eat cheaply and healthily?

It’s never too late to build new friendships or reconnect with old friends. Spending time making friends and strengthening your friendships can pay off. Developing and keeping healthy friendships involves give-and-take. 36 And other times you’re on the receiving end. Letting friends know you care about them and appreciate them can help strengthen your bond. It’s as important for you to be a good friend as it is to surround yourself with good friends. Here are some good ways to help nurture (滋养)your friendships: .
● 37 This most-basic behavior, emphasized during childhood, remains the key to successful, adult relationships. Think of friendship as an emotional bank account. Every act of kindness and every expression of gratitude(感激)arc deposits into this account, while criticism and negativity draw down the account.
● Open up. Build closeness with your friends by opening up about yourself. 38 It shows that your friend holds a special place in your life, and it deepens your connection.
● Show that you can be trusted. Being responsible, reliable and dependable is key to forming strong friendships. 39 Follow through on commitments you’ve made to your friends. When your friends share secret information, keep it private.
● Make yourself available. Building a close friendship takes time together. Make an effort to see new friends regularly, and to communicate with them in between meetups. You may feel awkward the first few times you talk on the phone or get together. 40
A. Sometimes you’re the one giving support.
B. Remember your appointments and arrive on time.
C. Be kind.
D. Remind yourself that your feelings will pass.
E. Be willing to share personal experiences and concerns.
F. However, this feeling is likely to pass as you get more comfortable with each other.
