When I first met George,I was in my early 30s.My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework.At 65，George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years.For both of us,we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
    George was an energetic man who lived life to the full.He loved his family,his friends,and was loyal and outspoken.As the only male in a painting class full of women,George quite enjoyed it.He ruled the roost（栖息处）and we were his hens.He loved his singular（单一的）role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
    He took to painting with passion and devotion.He carefully housed his expensive painting tools in a box—a red metal tool box—built to bear hard knocks.Not fancy,but smooth and shiny and very red.
    In 2004，I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. "He's very confused and may not recognize you," Penny,his daughter,warned.But as I bent over,George opened his eyes. "Betty!" he said,and with surprising strength,held my hand. "I've always been hoping to leave my box to you.I'm afraid I can't paint anymore,and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it," he said.With tears in my eyes,I accepted the gift on the proviso（附带条件）he could take it back at any time.He never did.He died two days later.
   Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box.The box is still in good shape,very red.The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
    But that's all right because to my mind some things,like friendship,are beyond price.

   C. He wanted to make new friends there.

Tech giants Apple and Google are teaming up to create a system that would let smart phone users know when they've come into contact with someone who has COVID-19.
     The technology would rely on the Bluetooth signals that smart phones can both send out and receive. If a person tests positive（阳性）for COVID-19，they could inform public health authorities through an app.Those public health apps would then alert anyone whose smart phones had come near the infected person's phone in the prior 14 days.The technology could be used on both Google Android phones and Apple iPhones.
   The companies insist that they will preserve smart phone users' privacy and their technology will be used only by public health authorities to trace the spread of COVID-19. Smart phone users can choose to use it.The software will not collect data on users' physical locations or their personally identifiable information.People who test positive would remain unknown to the public,both to the people who came in contact with them and to Apple and Google. "Privacy is of greatest importance in this effort," the companies said in a joint statement.
     The American Civil Liberties Union has warned that using cellphone data to handle the pandemic carries risks of "destruction of privacy".In a statement on Friday,ACLU cyber security counsel Jennifer Granick said,"The system also can't work well if people don't trust it".She said that the joint Apple and Google project "appears to reduce the worst privacy risks, but there is still room for improvement." She added that the contact tracing app should be used only for public health purposes and only for the duration of this pandemic.
     Public health officials say the contact tracing -finding people who have been in contact with an infected person will be a key step in lifting shelter in-place restrictions.
     It would allow people who are known to have been exposed to the virus to isolate themselves,while letting others recover normal activities.

28. What is the main purpose of the passage？ ______

A. To advertise for public health. 

B. To introduce a contact tracing system.

C. To warn the public of risks of COVID-19. 

D. To raise people's awareness of privacy protection.

29. What do the companies promise to do in particular？ ______ 

A. Warn people who test positive.

B. Protect infected people's private information.

C. Work with public health authorities.

D. Collect data on users physical locations.

30. Which of the following is TRUE according to Jennifer Granick？ ______

A. Public health issues are traced accurately .     

B. Only people's trust influences the system..    

C. The worst privacy risks has been reduced.    

D. Jennifer thinks the system should be better.

31. The system is mainly designed to ______ .

A. ensure infected people's recovery
B. guarantee people's normal activities

C. help prevent the spread of COVID-19
D. encourage all the people to isolate themselves

D

Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
     Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
     Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
     When a person enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water.Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel abandoned by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may praise and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by refusing to accept its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.

32. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?

33.  We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.

34. According to the passage,the barrier people often meet with in a new country are the following EXCEPT _____..

35. The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
