But believe it or not, they did.What was more surprising, however, was the person who left that massive tip for them. It wasn’t from a customer who was feeling extra generous that day. No, it was Jesse, a food delivery rider who came by to pick up an online order.Being a familiar face among the staff due to frequent orders from the restaurant, the delivery rider wanted to show his best appreciation for their hard work in ensuring orders are prepared on time every time he comes by to pick something up. Along with the tip, he also left a heartfelt written note.“Hello! I am writing to you all because I am very happy with your food and friendly customer service,” the note starts. “I want to say that your food is really delicious. You know, every day when I’m working, I see you all working so hard, which makes me feel proud of you all. Working is not easy, and I understand that because I am also working. Therefore, I want to thank you all for the good food and I want to help you all. Here inside is $600, for all of you. Share it among yourselves. Thank you once again!”Speaking to Shin Min Daily, Thai Dynasty director Jason Pay said he never expected such a thing from a delivery rider, despite Jesse being a familiar face. “Employees are allowed to keep the tips for their good service, but they chose to return it, which I’m touched by,” Pay said.Yes, they managed to return the super generous tip when Jesse swung by a few hours later to pick up another order. But seeing the hard work that the delivery rider highlighted in his staff, Pay decided to reward them the next day with pizza and other dishes for lunch.24、What does the underlined word “It” in the second paragraph refer to?A. The tip.  B. An note.  C. A stranger.  D. An order.25、What impressed Jesse most about the restaurant?A. The delicious food.  B. The familiar faces.C. The generous customers.  D. The positive working attitude.26、What did the staff do to show their appreciation?A. They told the story to the newspaper.B. They gave back the tip to the delivery rider.C.They helped the delivery rider get more orders.D.They treated the rider with delicious pizza and other dishes.27、Which saying can describe the text best?A.Experience must be bought. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.C.A hero is known in the time of misfortune.D.Everyone’s love will make the world a better place.From a young age, many of us learn the benefits of being an extrovert —those individuals who always seem to be the life and soul of the party, often outspoken and able to express their opinions fluently. However, not all of us are wired that way —so is being an extrovert really better?While thinking of an extrovert, we imagine a character who is determined, approachable, cheerful and charming. We are taught to admire these personalities early on. Kids are often encouraged to interact, play and communicate with other children. It seems at times as though children are made to have a more outgoing lifestyle, with some people becoming false extroverts introverts who copy extrovert behavior. While externally they may seem to enjoy the company of others, or being in the center of public attention, they can still become over—extended in intense social situations.So, while the positive aspects of being an extrovert are plain to see, what are the benefits of introversion? Although extroverts depend on social interaction, introverts are more comfortable with levels of isolation. According to Dr Berit, a college professor, extreme isolation such as times like the lockdown, does not affect introverts as much as extroverts. Lack of social contact, something extroverts rely on, can lead to depression, loneliness, and even death.But it’s not just in an extreme situation that an introvert shines through. These people seem to have more time for deep thought and thus can become more balanced. They also tend to be good listeners and think before they speak, meaning they could become great friends. Finally, introverts are often fantastic observers, as sitting out of the focus can give them more time to watch the behavior of others.So, whatever your personality, either introvert or extrovert, there are clear advantages to being either, and if you meet an introvert, you might just end up with an amazing friend.28、What is a distinctive characteristic of an extrovert?A. Intelligent.  B. Considerate.  C. Sociable.  D. Responsible.29、Which statement is true according to Dr Berit?A. Introverts should learn from extroverts.B. Extroverts tend to become better friends.C. Introverts prefer staying cut off from others.D. Extroverts find it tougher to handle isolation.30、What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. The influence of introverts. B. The strengths of being introverts.C. The causes of introverts’ behavior. D. The personalities of false introverts.31、What’s the purpose of the text?A. To state a viewpoint. B. To advocate a lifestyle.C. To introduce a technique. D. To describe a phenomenon.    I was selfish as a teenager.I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs.I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination.This didn't change even when I went to college either.I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness.    I married after graduation and decided to start a family.Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul.Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way.l found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.    Still,I didn't give up on happiness.I knew that there must be a way to find it.I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires.The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born.I got a bottle and held him in my arms.As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes.I smiled and talked to him.Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love.I felt such peace and joy.At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.    Carolyn Arends wrote:"The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give.It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring.Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.32、What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.He often helped his brother with housework.B.He studied hard for his family.C.He was concerned about his family.D.He put his own needs above others'.33、What did the author realize after he suffered in life?A.Spoiled people can't survive the hardship of lifeB.Spoiled people are never happy in lifeC.Life is cruel to spoiled peopleD.Selfishness is helpful34、What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author loved kids.B.When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.C.The author realized the importance of happiness.D.The author often fed his baby.35、Which can be the best title of the passage?A.Loving Others, a Way to HappinessB.The Elder One Grows, the More He GetsC.Help Others, Help OneselfD.Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life三、七选五36、Getting Lost in a Good Book Can Help Keep You HealthyI’m a novelist and it’s obviously in my interest to encourage people to read. But there’s increasing evidence that reading isn’t just for pleasure, or merely a way of improving literacy skills and factual knowledge. ①______Firstly, reading helps to lengthen attention spans in children and improves their ability to think clearly. ②______ It is essential to learn this skill as a small child. The more they do it, the better they get at it.Also, reading can help people learn to empathize(产生共鸣). A recent study at the University of Michigan found that there had been a 48% decrease in empathy among college students. ③______ In a computer game, you might have rescued a princess, but you don’t care about her, you just want to win. But a princess in a book has a past, present and future, she has connections and motivations. We can relate to her. We see the world through her eyes.As a matter of fact, reading is far from a passive activity. Reading exercises the whole brain. When we read and imagine the landscapes, sounds, smells and tastes described on the page, the various areas of the brain that are used to process these experiences in real life are activated, creating new neural(神经) pathways. ④______ This doesn’t happen when we’re watching TV or playing a computer game.Getting sucked into a good novel appears to be beneficial to our mental health too. ⑤______ Reading not only avoids feelings of loneliness, it helps us to wind down, de-stress and forget our own problems for a while.A. Encouraging reading could overcome this.B. As the old saying goes, “You’re never alone with a book.”C. But those who did not enjoy these activities had lots of loss.D. It might actually be good for our mental and physical health too.E. When we read a good book, we’re trying to find out its main idea.F. In other words, our brains model real experiences, just as if we were living them ourselves.G. Stories have a structure that encourages their brains to think in sequence, to link cause, effect and significance.四、完形填空（15空）I am a psychologist.

Their parents got it for them a couple of months ago, and they had taught their kids how to use it. They bought some computer games for the kids to play and connected the computer to the Internet. The kids loved going on the Internet and visiting websites. They got to do research for their homework, play games, print colouring pages and read stories. They also got to email their friends and even chat with other kids, after getting their parents’ permission.Because the kids liked the Internet so much, they would finish their homework, and then go to surf the Internet. Very often, they didn’t feel the passage of time and found themselves almost falling asleep in front of the computer screen.One day they stayed up late surfing the Internet after they were done with their homework.They watched a video about a science fiction story, which described two alien species hunting human information, because aliens had a wicked intention to conquer the Earth. The species coming from a distance tried to collect every aspect of data about humans, but in vain. They were detected and driven away by watchful humans. After a while they started getting tired and they were almost falling asleep. While they were in the twilight between being asleep and being awake, they felt a strong suction coming from the computer screen. It felt like a huge vacuum cleaner!By now, they were fully awake, but when they looked around, they did not see their living room anymore. Instead, they were drawn into the computer itself by that mysterious power. They were surrounded by a complex system of tubes and small boxes and columns. They were all in different shapes, such as being tall, short, wide, narrow, round, square, etc. More strangely, they all felt a little warm and some even were shining with real, blue or orange light. They saw themselves floating in a long tube with speeding chunks of alphabets, numbers, images and sounds. They were INSIDE the computer!注意:续写词数应为 150左右。Their dream came true and they decided to let loose and drift along the long tubes and have some fun. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________But after a few days they started missing something and that was the feel of love. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
