·No two visit are likely to be the same. Different times and seasons bring different bids and behavior.

·No matter how cute those little bids are, you should not feed them with your bread. It’s unhealthy for the bird and the surrounding ecosystem.

January is the month recognized as the time to diet. This year a health expert told me to get serious. I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place. Every meal? She was serious. “We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.”

However, it wasn’t my mistake. When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute. He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some.

He wasn’t always this way. When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight. But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”. His appearance no longer mattered.

He ate everything he could get. Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach. We placed schoolbags high up on the wall. Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.

It’s time for Eric to clean up his act. He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore. I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works. I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.

24、What did the health expert say about Eric?

25、What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home?

26、What did Eric do with the schoolbags?

27、What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean?

No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited time only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).

You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance (救护车) and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and we must see the bright side and enjoy pain.

You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life, but only the courageous (勇敢的) people laugh at their mistakes and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor (有利条件) is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.

28、What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?

29、Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain?

30、The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.

31、The author thinks that the wisest person ______.

D

While the benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutely essential in the pandemic (疫情), the research suggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creative thinking.

Brucks at Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managers reported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.

To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an hour or so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. They then selected their best idea.

Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. “They are not only generating a larger number of creative ideas, but their best idea is better,” Brucks said. Virtual teams were just as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met in person.

“Visual focus is a huge component of cognitive (认知) focus. When you’re focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task,” said Brucks. “It’s uniquely bad for creativity because it’s inhibiting broader exploration.”

Brucks said the impact on the real world “could be huge”, leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could “permanently reshape the office and work schedules”. But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be more cost-effective.

Asked for tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in-person meetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. “I think it unlocks more creative thinking,” she said.

32、Why did Brucks conduct the research?

33、What is the finding of the research?

34、What does the underlined word “inhibiting” in paragraph 5 mean?

35、What does Brucks say about virtual meetings?

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in? Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.

    36   Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.    37    They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.

Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me.     38   Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.

Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn?     39    There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.

The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling.     40    As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some people are addicted   56   travelling here and there. Travel is a form of good    57   (recreate) for people. After traveling, you may feel refreshed and quite    58   (energy). However, with the pandemic (流行病) far from over, it may not be proper or convenient to travel now. But that doesn’t mean trip planning needs to be canceled (取消), too. There is some good news for global travelers: According to researchers,    59    (look) ahead to your next adventure could benefit your mental health, even if you’re not sure when that adventure will be.

Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as the trip    60   (it). An earlier study found that people are at their happiest when they have    61    vacation plan. Travel is    62    (definite) a good thing to look forward to since we know a trip has a clear start and end. Our minds tend    63    (enjoy) it, even before it’s started. Sometimes people even prefer to delay good experiences like trips so they can look forward to them a little longer.

Our travel dreams can’t    64    (stop) by the virus. Planning for travel — thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it—may in fact be the best thing of all    65    you can do to stay optimistic (乐观的).

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150词左右。

Mary has always been by my side since my earliest age I could remember. The time I spent with her on our way to school was always the happiest memory for me. However, after the hospital told her that she had a serious cancer, we could no longer go to school together. I started the second semester of tenth grade on my own. Day by day, she became weaker and I felt like she was going away leaving me alone.

One day, when I woke up to go to school, Mary didn't. She had passed away in her sleep during the night. After she was laid to rest, I went back to school, but I didn't care much to be there at all. Then there came my darkest days when I felt like doing nothing and talking to nobody but floating（漂浮）in the ocean of sadness of losing her.

Since it was a new semester, my teacher didn't know me very well. My English teacher, Miss Jones, however, noticed that something was unusual. One day she asked me to meet her after class. “You always seem lost,” she said. "Your mind is always someplace else during class.”

I told her the reason I came to school every day. It was because I could be with Mary. Now she wasn't there. I didn't really feel I need to come anymore. Then she said, "well, could you please just do me a favor. I want you to meet me in my office today during the free period." So I met her, just to talk. Afterwards, she said, "Meet me tomorrow, the same time." And I did so the next day. She had me meet her during her after-class time, I helped her mark papers, check homework and we talked.

Paragraph 1:

This went on without missing a single day, which gradually took brightness to my life.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:

It took me years before I realized what Miss Jones had done.
