Four places to hear live music outdoors

For those fond of live music, head outdoors where local restaurants and bars are providing fresh air entertainment. Here are 4 places on Long Island that are popular with everyone:

PORTSIDE BAR & GRILL

On Monday nights at Portside Bar & Grill join the “Portside Pirates Patio (露台) Party” where many artists perform 30-40 minutes each from 7-10 p.m.

“Playing outdoors you get more energy from the audience,” singer Maria Rose says. “They are fully engaged in the music.”

SPOTLIGHT

There may not be music at the Paramount in Huntington but the venue’s art bar Spotlight next door is delivering live music along with burgers (汉堡包) and craft cocktails at a dozen outdoor tables daily from 4-8 p.m.

“We restructured things when we heard outdoor dining is going to be big,” says manager James Visalli. Singer / Guitarist Brian Ripps was the first to kick off Spotlight’s grand re-opening by mixing cover songs with his originals.

KJ FARRELL’S

Live music is what KJ Farrell’s in Bellmore is known for and their backyard patio, which holds 40- 50 seats, has become a hotspot showcasing artists from Tuesday-Saturday from 7-10 p.m. (reservations are made in advance).

Wonderous Stories has just returned to its regular Wednesday night spot where the audience listened to classic rock covers.

GARDEN GRILL

The patio at Garden Grill has been retooled holding 100 people. Music is offered Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and Sunday 1-8 p.m. in the fresh air.

Singer / songwriter JD Leonard recently performed his own country tune, “Just Drive” and got a standing ovation (热烈鼓掌). “Everybody seemed so happy to be out here. I know I was.” he says.

21．At which time will you most probably watch Maria Rose’s performance?

A．Saturday 10 p.m. B．Tuesday 6 p.m.

C．Monday 8 p.m. D．Wednesday 9:30 p.m.

22．What does the live music in the four places have in common?

A．performed at weekends B．country music

C．classic rock music D．held in the open air

23．What is special about KJ FARRELL’S?

A．It hosts the “Portside Pirates Patio Party”. B．It should be booked in advance.

C．It can hold an audience of 100. D．It serves craft cocktails.

B

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.

Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.

So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

24．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1?

A．responsibility. B．disappointment C．shame D．desire

25．What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to?

A．Her advanced sports outfits. B．Her confidence in her sports ability.

C．The sports talent inherited from her father. D．The guidance and training offered by her father.

26．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood?

A．She generally exercised on weekends. B．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.

C．She preferred reading to exercising. D．She maintained her love for sports.

27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?

A．To describe how her father built her interest in sports.

B．To recall her childhood memories about sports.

C．To express her passion for sports and fitness.

D．To emphasize the benefits of physical exercise.

C

From the top of Mount Qomolangma to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, plastic continues to pollute the environment, and it creates a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl, Arora, we finally have a better choice. This plastic-like material is made from prawn shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of the commercial plastic products we use today.

The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of plastic waste on the environment when shopping with her mother. She wondered why her mother had to pay for the plastic bags. When asked, the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planet and that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it. This inspired Arora to create a kind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventional one.

But the journey of inventing “eco-friendly plastic” was not easy. She experimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels, both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility. One night, while having dinner, she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky. She immediately went to the lab to research. Later, she would describe that dinner as her “Eureka” moment.

She extracted the material called “chitin” from the shells and then mixed it with an insoluble protein called “fibroin”, which is found in silk cocoons. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.

Arora’s invention has caused a stir, and she has won a number of awards. As an inspiring young woman, Arora wants to make a difference in the world, and she wants to encourage other young people to follow their passion and make a positive difference however they can.

28．What inspired Arora to create a kind of special plastic?

A．A cashier’s words about paid plastic bags. B．Her determination to protect the prawns.

C．A class about plastic’s impact on the planet. D．Her plan to save money on plastic products.

29．What could be a “Eureka” moment?

A．A moment of needing reflection. B．A moment of finding the truth.

C．A moment of having sudden inspiration. D．A moment of enjoying the celebration.

30．What can be known about the new plastic in paragraph 4?

A．It is made from non-organic materials. B．It can break down totally in a month.

C．It can be used to help plants to grow. D．It is extracted from an insoluble protein.

31．Which of the following can best describe Arora?

A．Brave and clever. B．Creative and inspiring.

C．Active and considerate. D．Humorous and friendly.

D

A case highlights a little-known fact about a poor diet: In addition to being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. The teen’s problems began at age 14, when he went to the doctor’s office complaining of tiredness. The teen was reportedly a picky eater, and blood tests showed he had anemia and low levels of vitamin B12. He was treated with injections of vitamin B12 along with advice on how to improve his diet.

However, by age 15, he developed hearing loss and vision problems, but doctors couldn’t seem to find the cause—results from an MRI and eye exam were normal. Over the next two years, the teen’s vision got progressively worse. When the boy was 17, an eye test showed that his vision was 20/200 in both eyes, the threshold (起始点) for being “legally blind” in the United States.

Further tests showed the teen had developed damage to the optic nerve (视神经). In addition, the teen still had low levels of vitamin B12, along with low levels of selenium (硒) and vitamin D．These deficiencies caused doctors to ask the teen about the foods he ate. “The patient admitted that, since elementary school, the only things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage,” the authors from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom wrote in the report.

This kind of vision loss is potentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. However, by the time the teen was diagnosed, his vision loss was permanent. What’s more, wearing glasses would not help the teen’s vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses, said the study lead author Dr. Denize Atan.

32．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．A poor diet can cause poor vision.       B．Vitamin B12 is important to vision.

C．Unhealthy food causes many diseases.    D．Doctors’ advice is helpful to people.

33．Why did the teen’s condition get worse?

A．His illness couldn’t be treated.      B．He kept having a poor diet.

C．Vitamin B12 didn’t work on him.    D．He developed damage to his nerves.

34．What does the underlined word “deficiencies” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Barriers. B．Materials. C．Reasons. D．Shortages.

35．What can be inferred about the teen?

A．His optic nerve will be recovered.       B．His problems will be solved well.

C．He is advised to take in more nutrition.   D．He needn’t wear glasses any more.

Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story?

For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____36____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____37____

In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____38____ It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. ____39____ Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.

____40____ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products? Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.

A. There arises a question.

B. Government policies and guidance should follow up.

C. The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.

D. The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.

E. China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.

F. But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards.

G. Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural management.

67.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。

A Boy With a Mission

In1945,a 12-year-old boy saw something in a shop window that met his heart racing. But the price-- five dollars--was far beyond Reuben Earle’s means. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.

Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything Mark Earle made through fishing in Bay Roberts. Reuben’s mother, Dora, struggled to feed and clothe their five children.

Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s weathered door. He told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding,“Can you please hold it for me for some time?” “I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled.

Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out into the sunlight.There was purpose in his walk. He would raise the five dollars and not tell anybody.

When he stopped at a construction site, Reuben had an idea. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts. Sometimes nail sacks(麻袋)were thrown, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the local factory for five cents a piece.

That day he found two sacks, which he took to the wooden factory and sold to the man in charge of   packing nails.

The boy’s hand tightly held the five-cent pieces as he ran the two kilometers home. It was dinnertime when Reuben got home. He looked at his mother and smiled. Sunlight from the window fell upon her shoulder-length golden hair. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together.

Her chores were never-ending: sewing clothes, cooking meals, baking bread and planting. But she was happy. Her family and their happiness were her highest priority.

Every day after school, Reuben was busy collecting the nail bags. Often he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window encouraged him to hold on.

Finally, spring burst into green and Reuben’s spirits erupted. The time had come! He poured the coins out and began to count. Then he counted again. It would be enough if he sold two more sacks. Reuben ran down Water Street. The shadows were lengthening when Reuben arrived at the factory.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

The sack buyer was about to lock up.

Racing home, Reuben burst through the front door.
