adults wouldn't have done.He looked at his yoghurt
and handed it to the man outside the window.Even if it
was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt,it was

more than he wanted it.He showed me that I am doing

ic forms排除C项;根据第二段中的the islander's
community,along with 43 published poets from
around the country,local high school students,and the
参考
general public可知这不是全球性的节日,故排除D
项。根据第一段中the fourth annual People's Poetry
Festival中的“annual'”(每年一度的)可知,人民诗歌节
每年举行一次。故正确答案应为B项。]
5.A[词义猜测题。根据第三段第三句The“Home
brewed”panel was made up of all local poets.可知

Dear Tom,
I am sorry to hear you feel lonely in your new
school.As a new student,it is natural for you to find it
difficult to get along well with the other students in class
and don't know how to adapt to the new environment in
the beginning.
Here are some suggestions that I hope can help
you.First,don't worry.Although you are not familiar
with the other students there,time and patience will
make you feel at home.Second,perhaps you are just not
used to the lifestyle there,so you should try to adapt to
the new environment.Third,go out and get actively in-
volved in some after-school activities,where you can
find some students who share your interests.I believe
you will make friends soon.Last,communicate with
your classmates actively,and let them know more
about you.
Wish to hear your good news soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
He was determined to protect the flowers.So he
built a high wall around them.Not feeling satisfied,he
even set up rules as to who could enter the garden,how
they must enter,and what they must follow while they
were there.As a result,children were forbidden to en-
ter and appreciate the flowers as before.For his part,
he continued to see to it that his treasure received
enough sunlight and water so that the flowers could con-
tinue to perform their wonderful magic.
Paragraph 2:
However,the flowers seemed to fade day by day,
so the man went everywhere for help.He visited every
expert,only to find his efforts in vain.He felt on pins
and needles,seeing his beloved flowers dying.One eve-
ning,he was wandering in the street aimlessly when he
suddenly noticed the flower woman on the same spot
where he had met her,giving away her amazing flow-
ers.It finally dawned on him that the flowers are gifts
not possessions and that only by sharing can the magic
remain and last.英

People all have something to say.Some ex-
press their passion(强烈的感情)through
clothes,art,or community involvement.Others
express themselves with poetry,which has di-
verse poetic forms to express unique thoughts,
experiences,and imagination at the fourth annual
People's Poetry Festival held Feb.28 through
March 2.
"The People's Poetry Festival keeps getting
bigger and bigger-it's an event we're really
proud of,"said Dr.Mark Hartlaub,College of
Liberal Arts Dean at Texas.The festival covered
a wide variety of topics including nature,humor,
women and history.From the panels to the open
microphone night,the islander's community,
along with 43 published poets from around the
country,local high school students,and the gen-
eral public came together to share their love of
poetry.
·6
The panels were full of passionate readings
and lively discussion.For the first time ever,
musical poetry was performed at the event.The
“Homebrewed”panel was made up of all local
poets.The“From Page to the Stage'”panel fo
cused on slaming(猛烈抨击)poetry,and the
“Humor'”panel was greeted with levels of laugh
ter from the crowd.All the panels were live
streamed on the People's Poetry Facebook page.
"The poetry and poets were all my students wan-
ted to talk about in class this week,"said Dr.
Chuck Etheridge,professor of English who at-
tended many of the panel readings.
Celebrating exceptional writers is another
part of the People's Poetry Festival.On the
opening night,the People's Poetry Festival com-
mittee named Madeline Ricondo of Tuloso-Mid-
way as the winner of the Robb Jackson Writing
Award for high school students.This award hon-
ors the late Dr.Robb Jackson,Texas A&.M
University System Regents Professor and profes-
sor of English at A&.M-Corpus Christi,whose
poetry shared his life experiences and observation
of Corpus Christi.Ricondo received a $100 gift
card,plus,three poetry books with local ties in-
cluding a copy of Jackson's“Open Heart”.The
People's Poetry Festival committee also recog-
nized Juan Manuel Perez,award-winning poet
and local history teacher,as the 2019-2021 Poet

Anyone who passes regularly through busy
public spaces knows that one victim of our obses-
sion(痴迷)with digital devices such as smart-
phones has been small talk.With our eyes fo-
cused on our smartphones,fewer of us make con-
versation with strangers.But are we missing
something in this loss of relaxing small talk?
A growing body of research suggests that
small talk has surprising benefits.In a study
·6
published in 2014 in the Personality and Social
Psychology Bulletin,researchers found that dai-
ly interactions with casual acquaintances(泛泛之
)can contribute to day-to-day well-being.Par-
ticipants were asked to record their daily interac-
tions with people connected to them by "strong
ties”(family and friends)and“weak ties”(ac
quaintances).On days when participants had
more "weak-tie"interactions than usual,they re-
ported a greater sense of belonging and happi-
ness.
In a study published in the Journal of Ex-
perimental Psychology in 2014,another group of
researchers looked at interactions among stran-
gers.They invited1l8 commuters(通勤者)ata
Chicago-area railway station and gave them three
choices:to start a conversation on the train,to
avoid any conversation and enjoy the loneliness or
to do whatever they normally do on their com-
mute.In surveys completed afterwards,those
who were instructed to make conversation with
strangers reported "notably more positive"com-
muters than those who rode in loneliness.
"Talking with a stranger may not offer the
same benefits as talking with a close friend,but
we underestimate(低估)its importance to us,”
says the study's co-author,Nicholas Epley,a
professor of behavioural science at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business.Dr Epley
traded his own smartphone for an old featureless
phone,which has made him,he says,more open
to "wonderful,short conversation with stran-
gers”.
People overestimate the social risks involved
in small talk,adds Dr Epley,"Most people not
only want to talk to you,but they'll tell you se-
cret things they may not even tell a family mem-
ber.”
8.The first study got the findings from the par-
ticipants by comparing their
A.strong-and weak-tie interactions
B.casual and close acquaintances
C.private and public interactions
D.family members and friends
9.What did the study done on the train find out?
A.People like to ride in loneliness on the train.
B.Few commuters like to chat with strangers.
C.There are three kinds of train commuters.
D.Chats with strangers bring joy to people.
10.Which of the following would Dr Epley prob-
ably agree with?
A.It is nicer to talk with strangers than
friends.
B.Smartphones may kill small talk with
strangers.
C.People fail to realise the importance of
friendship.
D.Most strangers prefer to spend time on
their phones.
11.What does the text mainly discuss?
A.The interactions with strangers.
B.The loss of relaxing small talk.
C.The influence of smartphones.
D.The important role of small talk.

That annoying kid brother or sister who
broke your stuff and got you in trouble all the
time may have actually done you a favour:A new
·6
study suggests that younger siblings(弟弟妹妹)
might be good for your health.
Children who didn't welcome a baby brother
or sister into the family before first grade had al-
most three times the likelihood of obesity (
compared with kids who experienced the birth of
a sibling when they were around 3 to 4 years old,
the study found.
"It is possibly because when there is a youn-
ger sibling in the family,a child might become
more active-for example,running around more
with their younger sibling,"said Julie Lumeng,a
public health researcher at the University of
Michigan.
"Maybe families are more likely to take the
kids to the park when there is a younger sibling,
or maybe the children are less likely to sit,watc-
hing TV,when there is a younger sibling to ask
them to join more active pretend play,she add-
ed.
Mealtimes might also be different with a sec-
ond kid at the table.Parents of only child can of-
ten focus too much on what their kid eats,which
can lead to bad eating habits,some previous re-
search suggests.
"When parents use restrictive or pressure-to-
eat feeding practices,children have an increased
risk of being overweight,"said Jerica Berge,a re-

"When a new child is introduced,parents
may relax their focus on the older child's eating
behaviours,making it possible for the older child
to self-regulate their eating,"said Berge."This
self-regulation may lead to a healthier weight for
the child with a sibling.

followed 697 US children from birth through
age 6.
However,the authors acknowledged that
their study lacked objectively measured birth
weights and information on events such as a di-
vorce,a move or a job loss in the family-all of

Most people have a lot of free time available but
seldom use it gainfully.16 There are many
hobbies from which you can pick and you can
choose one that suits your talents.
Once you have decided to start a hobby,it
will be wise to go through a list of popular hob-
bies and choose one that is close to your heart and
can make you feel confident.Some of the most
popular hobbies that people generally take to are
reading,listening to music,gardening,fishing,
sports,exercise and computer-related activities.

ing it up.

experience.As you progress,you will be living
in a new world and learning new skills.You will
begin to discover your hidden talents that you didn't
know.You will start reading more about your
hobby,meeting other hobbyists with similar in-
terests,exchanging views and building friend cir-
cles both near and far.18 In these games you

lar basis and develop great relationships.

One evening,a workman was exhaustedly
making his way home after work when he
stopped to rest by the side of the road.A woman
came by,pushing a cart full of flowers.The smell
of the blossoms filled the air with sweetness and
it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones
and lift his spirits.He had never experienced such
wonder from the many blooms of his own gar-
den."How much must I pay,or what must I do,
to have some of your wonderful flowers?"he
asked the woman.
“Oh,sir,”she said,“take what you wish for..”
“What return must I make for them?”he
asked again.
“Your gratitude is enough,”she said,“and
it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with
you.”
So the man filled his arms with blossoms and
hurried joyfully home.His wife and his children
were also glad about the remarkable flowers,for
they,too,discovered that the sight of them was a
delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his valuable possessions,
the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of
·6
land behind his house.Sunlight and water kept
them amazingly beautiful-they still performed
their fantastic magic.
Every day,his children took delight in pla-
ying in the yard and always sang and danced
around the flowers.They all liked the lovely gift
their father had received and even invited many of
their friends to share this fantastic magic togeth-
er.When children came to play near the flowers,
the man over and over warned them against care-
lessness and wild play for fear that they walk on
the flowers and damage them.But the flowers re-
mained strong as long as there were enough sun
and water to nourish(滋养)them.Nowhere else
could the man or his wife or his children find such
remarkable relaxation from tiredness,such com-
fort in sadness,such spiritual nourishment as
those remarkable flowers provided.
With the news spreading and more people coming
to appreciate his treasure,the man became even
more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
Paragraph 1:
He was determined to protect the flowers.
Paragraph 2:
However,the flowers seemed to fade day
by day,so the man went everywhere for help.
