Section 2　 “How Closely Connected Are We？” [课时检测]　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm. As I walk toward the kitchen, I'm greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that blends (融合) Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother's recipe. Since my grandmother's passing, I've become more aware of my mother's aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone's preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it's her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了厨艺精湛的母亲奔波异地为家人做饭的故事，让人感受到炙热的母爱。 1．What do we know about the author's mother from the text?

So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back, how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want. Psychological research repeatedly shows that people generally make up their minds on whether to help you or not based on whether they like you or not. It is human nature. What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want. Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone. These are called first impressions or “moments of truth”． Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very unwilling to change their opinions. You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance. Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse (排练) how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction. This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to deal with them if the other party (另一方) raise them unexpectedly. It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning. The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it. Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not mean that candidates can succeed in making a good first impression. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给别人留下良好的第一印象的重要性以及应该注意的事项。 5．What would people do when they like you according to paragraph 2? A．They would pay much attention to your good qualifications. B．They would prefer to ignore your weaknesses. C．They would change their opinions frequently. D．They would be willing to offer chances. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best.”可知，当人们喜欢你时，他们更可能会给你提供机会。 6．Which of the following tips might help in an interview according to the author? A．Know as much as possible about the situation. B．Ask the interviewers for homework to do. C．Show your friendliness and confidence. D．Do something unexpected to impress interviewers. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，作者认为，尽可能多地了解情况可能有助于面试。 7．What will probably be talked about in the next part of the text? A．Questions that might be asked by the interviewers. B．How to win over people who don't like you at first. C．Some practical advice to help make a good first impression. D．Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，好的资历和优秀的工作表现不一定给人留下良好的第一印象，那么接下来最有可能讲述一些实用的建议来帮助建立良好的第一印象。 8．What is the text mainly about? A．Persuading people to like you. B．Making a good first impression. C．People making the key difference. D．Useful tips for a job interview. 解析：选B　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了给别人留下良好的第一印象的重要性以及应该注意的事项。故B项能概括文章大意。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to Keep a Long-Distance Friendship Perhaps a friend you've known for years has moved away, or you've made a new friend from another part of the world.Don't let distance stop you from staying close.Here are some tips on how to stay in touch.
