For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff. Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.

I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed. “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied, “I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do –   that  . ”

Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.

With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.

 The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the actof self forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing—both of the house and heart.

(24)What made the author feel bitter?

A.Shecouldn’t understandhermom’ssorrows.

B.Hermomwasstuckinthepainfulmemories.

C.Hermomwasalways leftaloneathome.

D.Hermomwastedmoneyonuselessthings.

(25)The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to _______.

A.gettingridofthestuff  B.buyingthestuff

C.openingthestuff  D.movingthestuff

(26)We can infer from the passage that ______.

A.theauthor never boughthermom anything

B.theauthor’smom hasnomoney topurchasenow

C.theauthor’smom regretsbuyingso manythings

D.theauthor knowshermom’ssufferingonlythisweek

(27)What’s the best title of the passage?

A.Howtodoshoppingwisely  B.Clearancehelpsreorganizethehouse

C.Keepaneyeontheelderly’sbehavior  D.Self-forgiveness makesadifference

C

Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.

The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.

Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.

A cognitive (认知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”

For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.

(28)What is the passage mainly about?

A.People's memory gradually fails as they age.

B.People of different ages should play VR games.

C.Virtual reality changes people's memory.

D.Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.

(29)What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research?

A.satisfied.  B.enthusiastic.  C.cautious.  D.concerned.

(30)According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.

A.the lack of financial support.

B.the limited pool of participants.

C.the unsatisfying test performance.

D.the impractical application in real world.

(31)Where may the passage come from?

A.A novel.  B.A review.  C.A magazine.  D.A guidebook

It was just after 5 pm. I was holding a cup of tea at Sainsbury’s, the second largest chain of supermarkets in the U. K. We were around a dozen customers in the supermarket’s cafe, and most of us were on our own. Despite placing the special sign “Reserved for customers in the mood for a chat” in an obvious position, I got no takers.

Government announcers tell us that Britons of all ages are suffering loneliness. About 200, 000 senior citizens have not spoken to a friend or relative for over a month. Family doctors suspect that some of their patients are making appointments because they are lonely. The receptionists also agree that the front desk is a magnet for the isolated to come and experience a bit of human contact. And the young, even with their busy lives on social media, are also affected. New research from Sainsbury’s Living Well Index reveals that almost two thirds of the people aged between 18 and 24 have admitted to sometimes feeling lonely.

To ease the problem of loneliness, Sainsbury’s has launched “Talking Tables,” which are reserved spaces where people can have a chat. They appear in a variety of formats. A sign-posted table located in cafés in-store is one of them. The concept has been developed in close association with Chatty Café. Alexandra Hoskyn was inspired to start a network of Chatty Cafés in the U. K. in 2017 after finding herself socially isolated as a new mother at home with young children.

“We know from our Living Well Index that community connections are a key driver of helping people live well,” says Judith Batchelar, director of Sainsbury’s brand. “We hope that by bringing people together at our ‘Talking Tables,’ we can develop the potential of our store space to help people be better connected to the communities they live and work in.”

A European friend suggested that all this unsolicited(自发的) friendliness may not seem very British. However, a staff member at the Sainsbury’s sounded more positive: “It’s early days, and you cannot change people’s habits overnight.”

(32)Who might come to “Talking Table”?

A.Only the lonely old people.

B.People having communication problems.

C.Teenagers active in social media.

D.Anyone eager to chat.

(33)What can we infer from the text?

A.“Talking Table” is a pioneer in the UK.

B.“Talking Table” was inspired by some new mothers.

C.Friendliness can change British habits directly.

D.“Talking Table” can produce a sense of belonging.

(34)What is the important element for people’s well-being according to Judith Batchelar?

A.Personal ambition.  B.Physical and mental health.

C.Communication in the community.  D.Relations with family.

(35)What is the passage mainly about?

A.The largest supermarket chain in the UK Sainsbury’s.

B.The supermarket’s cafes helping ease loneliness.

C.The latest study on loneliness of senior citizens.

D.The approaches to getting rid of loneliness.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.

You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. ___36___

It turns out, it’s just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.

Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. ___37___Any small interruption-a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.

If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:____38____So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.

Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ___39___This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.

____40____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.

选项A.Why does this always seem to happen to you?

B.So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines?

C.Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.

D.The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.

E.How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?

F.With three registersthis method is much faster than the traditional approach.

G.But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.
