If you're anything like most working Americans,you probably make a beeline for the
coffee machine as soon as you wake up in the morning.In fact,over 85 percent of
Americans consume caffeine(咖啡因)regularly一and coffee is the preferred medium.As
多
for the perfect time for your Joe?There's a"sweet spot"that could maximize your caffeine
kick,and surprisingly enough,it's not the first thing in the morning.
Although having your coffee right away may cause you to think quickly in the
morning,that feeling quickly crashes just a few hours later."Definitely limit coffee when
you first wake up",Laura Cipullo,registered dietitian and author of Women's Health
Body Clock Diet,told CNBC.
To get the most benefit,experts recommend drinking your coffee in the mid-morning or
邻
early afternoon,instead.Getting caffeine about three to four hours after you get out of bed will do
the trick,too.Why?At those times in the day,your body is low on cortisol(皮质醇)一
the
stress hormone that makes you think quickly-and desperately needs a good pick-me-up.
Of course,if you can't function without your morning coffee,then by all means,
continue drinking!Not everyone agrees with the mid-morning theory,anyway.Registered
杯
dietitian-nutritionist Melanie Dellinges believes when you consume caffeine is not in the
least important;it's how much caffeine you consume that matters the most.She
阳
recommends limiting your intake to two to four cups a day.
翻
Regardless of when you decide to drink your coffee,try to avoid drinking coffee after 2
or 3 in the afternoon.Research shows that caffeine can disturb your sleep up to six hours
after you consume it.
21.Which word can best replace the underlined "Joe"in Paragraph 1?

It's easy to think of your grandparents'retirement years as being all about them.After all,
they've likely spent the last several decades devoting their time and energy to others-their bossess,
coworkers,clients,or kids.Now,they think,it's time to finally focus on themselves,and that's
true to some extent.But their post-work life still needs structure and purposes.Without these two
key pillars(支柱),life can get boring and lonely very quickly..
One very good way to fill the blank is to give time and energy to others through
volunteering.Sure,they won't walk away with a paycheck,but the simple act of
volunteering their time to a cause comes with numerous other very important benefits.
For retirees Ross and Carol Chenot,volunteering has made their golden years
incredibly fulfilling.Ross volunteers with GleanSLO,an organization affiliated (
with the local food bank."Because we live in a rich agricultural area,GleanSLO,
volunteers go into the fields or orchards to pick the leftover produce and donate to the food
bank,"Ross explains."Literally tons and tons of food get donated that way."
Carol put together a series of neighborhood "learning sessions"-called Neighborly U-
through which people can learn a new skill or develop a new hobby.The sessions range in
topics,including computers,crafts,cooking,volunteerism,travel,entertainment,and
self-improvement.So far,Carol says she's conducted 75 classes and has had more than 650
people register."It reinforces a value of generosity that we want to pass down,"she says.
24.What does your post-work life need according to Paragraph 1?
A.Yourself and your kids.
B.Structure and purposes.
C.Time and energy.
D.Your boss and coworkers.
25.How do the retired fill their free time?
A.To volunteer.
B.To attend to kids.
C.To have a walk.
D.To work hard.
26.Why does the passage mention Ross and Carol?
A.Because they are both generous.
B.Because their efforts have paid off.
C.Because they have spare time and energy to develop new skills.
D.Because volunteering has made their retirement years satisfying.
27.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.The joy of volunteering in retirement years.
B.Life can get boring and lonely very quickly.
C.Where to spend the golden retirement years.
D.A value of generosity passed down to the next generations.

In the past decade,the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have
guessed.It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the
infamous,overnight.
A key feature of social media,however,is its volatility.Trends come and go,
disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared.So,what were the key social media trends
of2018?
Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent (Douyin,took
the world by storm.The telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple's App
store in April.And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in
June at home,CNBC said.
Why are these short videos-which are rarely longer than a few minutes-so
popular?Jiang Yige,Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management,has a
theory."Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,"he told
CNBC.
These videos-apart from being very convenient-are important to teenagers because they
allow them to express themselves,according to Teen Vogue.
Liza Koshy,a user of the US app Musical.ly who has over 2 million followers,said,
"The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature."
Live streaming (is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as
sunrise.It's a pretty neat idea:You can watch anyone,anywhere,live.However,China
has taken live streaming to a whole new level.In China,more than 100 million viewers
monthly watch a live streaming video.Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to
the popularity of live streams.Among them is viewers'ability to interact with unknown
names.
However,the quick development of social media may be having side effects too.Fake
news is one serious problem it causes.Materials shared on these platforms are often not
checked for accuracy.The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or
another.We use social media all the time;that doesn't mean that we understand the
influence it is having on us.We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its
impact on our minds.
28.The underlined word "volatility"in Paragraph 2 possibly means "being
”
A.changeable
B.steady
C.promising
D.violent
29.According to Liza Koshy,short videos are very popular because
A.they are very convenient
B.they help people kill time
C.they provide a sense of community
D.they allow people to express themselves
31
30.What do we know about social media?
A.The information from social media is totally reliable.
B.When it comes to social media,people only know short videos.
C.People can't communicate with each other without social media.
D.There is still much room for social media to make improvement.
31.What is the author's attitude to the quick development of social media?
A.Objective.
B.Subjective.
C.Favorable.
D.Disapproving.

“While extroverts(性格外向者)often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner
and lively personalities in interviews,their value and reputation at work diminish ()over time,"
says Corinne Bendersky,an associate professor of management.
"Extroverts disappoint us over time when they're part of a team,"Bendersky says.
"On a team you're expected to work hard and contribute a lot.But they're often poor
listeners,and they don't collaborate."
“On the other hand,introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care
what others think of them.They don't want to be seen as not pulling their weight or
contributing 100%,"Bendersky says.
"So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress
managers greatly in job interviews.Bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert
they are considering will be a valuable team player,"Bendersky says.
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins,two writers,agree and say managers
should recognize the strengths of introverted employees,such as their ability to put
themselves in someone else's shoes.
"These team members are often easy-going,which can make them exceptional mentors
to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in
one-on-one situations,"Su says.
"Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,"Wilkins says."Help them see
that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering
the team key insights,making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all."
What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words?Should
managers cut them off?Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is
affecting others.Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.
32.What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?
A.They are good listeners.
B.They are good at cooperating.
C.They often make great contributions.
D.They tend to perform well in interviews.
32
33.Which can best replace the underlined part "pulling their weight"in Paragraph 3?
A.Trusting others.
B.Making good choices.
C.Doing their full share of work.
D.Trying to share their thoughts.
34.What is Su's attitude towards Bendersky's words?
A.Critical.
B.Tolerant.

Mo was waiting outside her classroom,feeling sick.She had two exams and physics
was the first.It was her worst subject.Terry looked back at her from the front line,and
then looked away quickly.Mo thought she was guilty.She didn't have a problem with
physics.She didn't have a problem with anything...Miss Perfect!
"Hi,Mo,"greeted Nima,laughing as she joined the line.Terry was looking at Mo
again..“So what's wrong with her??”asked Nima.“I thought you were friends.”“So did I,”
said Mo,"but she hasn't spoken to me for two weeks.She promised to help me review
physics,but then she ignored all my calls.And when I rang her house,her mum just told
me she was too busy."Then Mr.Reed asked students to go into the exam room.Mo gave
Nima a worried look and followed them.
Mo couldn't answer question number five.She looked up and couldn't believe it!Terry
was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it.Mo was in a
dilemma(进退两难的困境).She thought about telling the teacher,but what would
everyone else think of her?"Stop writing and put your pens down,"said Mr.Reed as he
started to collect the exam papers.Oh no,Mo hadn't answered two of the questions.She
was going to fail again!
Mo wanted to talk to Terry at lunchtime,but she couldn't find her anywhere.The
next exam was history.That was Mo's favorite subject.Mo studied in the classroom,but
she couldn't concentrate.She didn't know what to do with Terry."Terry was getting good
grades by cheating all the time,"thought Mo.Just then,Mr.Reed walked past her table.
“Mr.Reed..”
Mo was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon.She regretted
doing that,but it was too late.And anyway,Terry didn't want to be her friend!Mr.Reed
wanted her to look at him and nod if she saw Terry cheating in the exam.
Paragraph 1:
Mo was working on the last question when she saw Terry holding the phone again.
