Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet, peaceful and fairly deserted (空寂无人的).

The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday center. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting close to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching (接近) us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very anxious. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice. I could hear anxiety in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cellphones on us. I never saw Dad as anxious as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm(击败) Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.

We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul. It’s one vacation I will never forget.

26．What was the author’s father’s reaction on the last evening of their vacation?

A．He was somewhat fearful. B．He didn’t know what to do at all.

C．He didn’t take what happened seriously. D．He was quite calm and controlled the situation.

27．What helped them get out of the trouble?

A．Their quick action. B．Timely help from a young man.

Guests arriving at the Aloft Hotel in Manhattan or one in Silicon Valley will soon be able to do something hotels have dreamed about offering for years: walk past the check-in desk and enter their rooms by using a smartphone as a room key. The boutique(精品店) hotel brand from Starwood to Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. plans to offer this feature at two hotels before the end of the quarter.

Starwood officials are hoping this will be one of the biggest technological changes in the industry since free Wi-Fi. “We believe this will become the new standard for how people will want to enter a hotel.” says Frits van Passchen, Starwood’s CEO.

Not everyone is so sure. Past attempts to use technology to streamline the check-in process have had mixed results. Robert Habeeb, president of the First Hospitality Group, says he pulled out check-in desks at two of his Holiday Inn hotels after finding that most guests ignored them. He found that many travelers will talk with a staff member and ensure their room has the right view or location, or to try for an upgrade. Other guests may still want to be greeted when they arrive.

Hotels have never been known for being in the forefront of technology, partly because many hotels are owned and managed by small companies. Many hotel operators, though, have been searching for ways to remove the bottlenecks (瓶颈) at a hotel’s front desk. “Everybody has to check in, but we are all doing it pretty much the same way we were 100 years ago,” says Christopher Nassetta, CEO for Hilton Worldwide holdings Inc. “It’s something we are seriously addressing.”

Yet it is still not clear that virtual(虚拟的) keys will do better than previous attempts to beat traditional check-ins. An effort several years ago to allow guests to enter rooms with the magnetic strip (磁条) on their credit cards never became popular. Guests worried about security and were unwilling to give their kids credit cards instead of room keys.

28．According to the first two paragraphs, which of the following is NOT true?

A．The new room key may become a new standard of choosing a hotel.

B．Hotel officials hope the new room key will be a great change in hotel industry.

C．Aloft of Hotel in Manhattan will allow guests to use a smartphone as a room key.

D．All Starwood Hotels plan to offer the new room key before the end of the quarter.

29．The underlined word “streamline” in Para. 3 is closest in meaning to _____________.

A．unify B．identify C．simplify D．beautify

30．Christopher Nassetta would most likely agree that _____________.

A．it’s a good idea to cancel check-in

B．the way of check-in needs to be changed

C．the management of hotel needs to be improved

D．it depends on the hotel operators to update technology

31．From the text we can see that the writer thinks the future of the new room key is __________.

A．secure B．negative C．bright D．uncertain

D

What you do after studying could play a big part in how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning： wakeful rest and sleep.

When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.

The basic idea is this： by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.

While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—which is called “wakeful rest”.

A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.

If you want to give “wakeful rest" a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!

Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived(剥夺) person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information. ”

The National Sleep Foundation(NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.

Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night's sleep. That's it---a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.

32．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The importance of sleep. B．The good ways to get a rest.

C．The reason for having a rest. D．The types of resting activities.

33．Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying?

A．Reading a newspaper. B．Playing a video game.

C．Sitting there doing nothing. D．Having a nice sleep at night,

34．How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?

A．Less than 7 hours. B．Just 7 hours.

C．No more than 9 hours. D．Around 9 hours.

35．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Low-cost Tips on Working

B．What to Do After Your Study

C．Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?

D．How Long Should We Rest After Learning?

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

On a cold windy day, a poor boy tried to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door. Wandering(漫步) on the street, he was not a successful seller. What’s worse, he found that he only has one dime（一角硬币）left. His empty stomach reminded him constantly(一直) that for days he hadn’t eaten anything. He had no choice but to beg(祈求) for a meal at the next house. Hesitantly(迟疑地) he knocked at the door, thinking about what to say when it opened. However he lost his nerve(惊慌失措) when a lovely young woman opened the door. “What can I do for you?” asked the young woman. The boy paused for a while. “Would you please give me some…. a drink of water?” the boy dared not look directly into her eyes. She looked at the bony(骨瘦嶙峋的) boy and thought he might need something to give him energy, so she brought him a glass of milk. His head rising and small hands taking the cup, he drank it up slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” She replied with a warm smile on her face. “My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” Deeply moved, he said sincerely, “Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the whole human race. As a matter of fact, he was about to give up and quit before that point.

Years later, the young woman became seriously ill. However, the local doctors were unable to give the effective medical treatment. Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city, where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease. Among these famous specialists, Dr . Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation（会诊）. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

Dear Jimmy,

I’m sorry to hear that you are so stressed in your senior high school that your life and study has been affected. It is understandable that you have this kind of feelings. It is common for teenagers to have difficulty adapting to the new environment. Perhaps the following suggestions will be of help.

To begin with, it is wise to keep a balance between study and rest. Good rest advances your study. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you should communicate with your friends and teachers about your problems. I’m sure you will get back your confidence in this way. Most importantly, you will be more organized if you can make a learning schedule.

I sincerely hope my suggestions are beneficial to you.

Best wishes,

Li Hua

Paragraph1

Dressed in his doctor’s gown, he went in to see her. He saw her lie on the bed and recognized her at once. Her lovely face looked pale. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. Luckily, after a long struggle the battle was won. Doctor Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side.

Paragraph2

The bill was sent to her room. Hesitantly she took it. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank you, God!”
