Hours before the sun rises over Van, a city in the far east of Turkey, preparations are already underway for the most important meal of the day. By 5 a．m．，the scent of oven-hot flatbread and fresh Turkish tea has been wafting（飘荡） across Kahvaltıcılar Çarşısı-Van's famous “Breakfast Street”.

"There is nothing except breakfast during the day here," says Kenan Coskun, who,along with his brother, runs Sütçi Kenan,one of the oldest breakfast joints in the city. The breakfast can contain up to 30 different dishes, and often has a heavy emphasis on the prized dairy produce from nearby livestock.

The origins of Van's breakfast culture are the subject of debate. According to Aylin Oney Tan,one of Turkey's leading food writers, it emerged in the mid-20th century as farmers from the nearby villages would bring their produce to the city's bus stations early in the morning for sale. Others point to Van's location on the Silk Road,an ancient trade route linking the Western world with the Middle East and Asia that would have supplied a constant flow of hungry travelers.

But locals say the more modern history of Van breakfast can certainly be linked to the development of so-called “milk houses”-which would serve early morning meals of milk, cheese and bread to those doing physical work nearby-in the 1940s. Sütçü Kenan, which translates in Turkish as “Milkman Kenan”,was itself opened by Coskun's great-grandfather Kenan as a milk house in 1946.

Away from Breakfast Street, Bak Hele Bak, which was founded in 1975, is another restaurant in the old tradition of milk houses. “Ours is a place coming from milk house culture,"says Yusuf Konak, the talkative 67-year-old owner.“We have all kinds of customers from ages 7 to 70. Is Van the breakfast capital of the world? Definitely!”

That might seem like a lofty（高傲的）claim，but Van has its place in the record books to back up the statement. In 2014,more than 50,000 people gathered at rows and rows of tables in front of the Van Fortress,which was built in the 9th century,to break the Guinness World Record for the “largest full breakfast attendance”.

24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

C.Foreign travelers.

Eight years ago. Al Nixon decided to begin each day from a bench with a spectacular view of St. Petersburg's waterfront in Florida. “I call it 'life rising' because watching a sunrise makes me feel positive and centered before I start my day," says Nixon, who works for the city's water department. It is Nixon's own version of daily motivation.

A year later, a woman stopped to say hello, and she said something that changed his perspective on his daily ritual. “She said, 'You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK,'” Nixon recalls. “That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to the people walking past. I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each other.”

Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront, Nixon started smiling at people and striking up conversations. And pretty soon, more than a few early risers began joining him on the bench, sometimes unburdening themselves and telling him their relationship, career or personal problems. “I was happy to listen. I wanted them to walk away knowing they didn't have to feel lonely,” Nixon, now 59,says.“When you're in your 50s and 60s or beyond, a lot of people feel their purpose hasn't been fulfilled. At this stage in life, this is definitely my purpose.”

So, every morning, weather permitting, Nixon rises at 4:30 a. m. He puts on a hat, sips a cup of coffee, and then drives seven miles to the waterfront, where he'll stay for two hours. His presence, his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor.

No matter what problem a person wants to air, Nixon lends an ear. But some people just sit down and don't want to talk or share stories. They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said, 'I just want to sit here with you,'” Nixon recalls. “We stared at the water for an hour, and then she said thank you and walked away. She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone. And in that moment, in that hour, on that morning, she truly wasn't.”

28. Why did Nixon decide to begin his day from the bench eight years ago?

A. To develop a habit.

C. To enjoy seaside views.

B. To seek mental power.

D. To interact with strangers.

29. How might Nixon feel after hearing the woman's words in paragraph 2?

30.What does Nixon's nickname the Sunshine Mayor imply?

A. He is laughed at by others.

B. He is a responsible official.

C. He warms strangers' hearts.

D. He likes sunny days particularly.

31.What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A.One has to learn to listen.

B.Not everyone is a good storyteller.

C. It's not easy to fulfill different needs.

D.Silent company matters to some people.

Most brands' marketing strategies target our vision-think about logos, ads and other symbols. Some try to stimulate us with upbeat music or relaxing sounds. But targeting our noses can be an even more powerful tool for brands, say marketing experts.

An industry, known as scent marketing, is dedicated to developing custom fragrances（香味）.ScentAir， for example， is one of the largest sellers of fragrance diffusers（扩散器）to leading brands． The company designs 9 “fragrance experiences＂ ranging from “luxurious and sophisticated” to “passionate and sensual". On the flip side， it also tries to mask and neutralize（中和） awful smells from bathrooms or kitchens.

According to Laurence Minsky, a professor from Columbia College Chicago who studies branding, our sense of smell runs straight to our limbic system, and thus deploying a pleasant fragrance in a store can influence customers' feelings about it and help it stand out in a crowded market. It can also cue up past memories, Minsky said.

The presence of a pleasant scent in stores resulted in a 3% sales increase compared to stores without one, found a study published in The Journal of Marketing. And beyond just being pleasant, the specifics of scent matter. Another study published in The Journal. Of. Retailing found that consumers spent more and purchased more items in stores with a simple orange or lemon scent than in stores with complex scents.

The opportunity to create an ambiance（格调）while increasing sales has led retailers and other businesses to experiment with different scents and create their own fragrance experiences. Brands such as Play-Doh and Johnson & Johnson were some of the first to use scent as a marketing tool. Play-Doh even successfully trademarked its own fragrance in 2018.

Since the 1990s, Singapore Airlines has also been using its own fragrance. Flight attendants wear it as perfume; it is mixed into hot towels served before takeoff and wafts through the cabin during the flight. Hotels such as Hyatt and Westin pump smells into their lobbies, while many supermarkets move their bakeries from the back of the store to the front.

But stores should keep a delicate balance when they engineer their smells. The USA's subway, for example, has been criticized by some customers for an unpleasant bread smell. When Starbucks introduced breakfast sandwiches in 2008, it found the smell of sandwiches cooking in the oven was overpowering its coffee fragrance.

32.What may be the function of the limbic system?

A.Improving our fashion sense.

B.Getting rid of some bad memories.

C.Changing our perspectives on things.

D.Regulating our emotions and memories.

33.What do paragraphs 5-6 mainly tell us?

A.The history of scent marketing.

B.The significance of scent marketing.

C.The wide application of scent marketing.

D.The influence of various scent experiments.

34.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To try out an idea.

B.To issue a warning.

C.To draw a conclusion.

D. To give a piece of advice.

35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. Pay attention to your brand image

B.Use smell to get you to spend more

C.Increase sales of fragrance diffusers

D. Attract customers with excellent service

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to-spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I'll never forget the day that one of my fifth-grade students, Jace, shyly raised his hand and said that he had never received a gift during reading discussions. Jace's honesty surprised me. What was even more eye-opening was the fact that the boy had gone ten years and never experienced the joy and surprise of receiving a present.

I tried to search a reason that he might be saying this. Then I remembered his story. His mother was out of the picture and he lived alone with his dad. His father had a hard time holding down a job, and come to think of it. I didn't see his father at enrollment（注册）or parent-teacher conferences.

A couple of weeks after Jace's comment, he was absent from school. This happened to be the day I was sending home the annual note about the classroom Christmas gift exchange. Traditionally, each boy was to bring a gift for a boy in the three-dollar range and the same was true for each girl.

As we were discussing the specifics, a girl raised her hand and suggested that we do away with our traditional policy, and each buy a gift for Jace instead. The enthusiasm grew as the students discussed the kinds of things they knew Jace would like. We took a quick vote and unanimously（意见一致地）agreed to go ahead with this wonderful idea.

With great excitement, the gifts began to come in. Students with bright eyes would eagerly tell me how they found the “perfect gift" and how their parents spent more than three dollars on Jace's gift! As the gifts poured in, I remember being so proud of my thoughtful, selfless students who were truly showing the spirit of Christmas.

After several days of absences, you can imagine our disappointment when we learned that Jace's absences were due to the fact that he had moved away! I was sure of one thing. I couldn't let my students or Jace down.

I found my information sheet and called every number listed. Apparently, Jace’s father had lost his job, causing them to relocate. No one knew where they were, and the cell phone number I had would ring with no response despite my continuous efforts. Even into our Christmas vacation, I constantly gave the phone number a shot. 注意：
