My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet--and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.
Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.
“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”
Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.
We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith—starting with just one person.
Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her good health, and she thanked us as we left.
Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.
25. Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?
A. The cashier called a manager to help her.
B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.
C. There was something wrong with his discount card.
D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.
26. The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 means ________.
A. changed B. increased C. faded D. formed

27. The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.
A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty
B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently
C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man
D. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now
28. The last paragraph in the passage is intended to ________.
A. add a warning B. make a suggestion
C. introduce a topic D. present an argument
C
Critics of “Helicopter parenting” styles adopted by middle class parents have claimed that they lead to children who are poorly prepared for the real world. Now, economists have argued that such intensive pushy parenting can bring life-changing benefits to children, particularly when it comes to academic achievement. Dr Matthias Doepke, a professor of economics in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University, and co-author Dr Fabrizio Zilibotti of Yale University are behind the claims.
In their new book, through personal anecdotes and original research, the pair show that in countries with increasing economic inequality, such as the United States, parents push harder to ensure their children to have a path to security and success. Dr Doepke and Dr Zilibotti analysed academic tests of 15-year-olds around the world, according to reports in the New York Times. They then compared these results to reports from teenagers and their parents about how they interact. The researchers discovered that “helicopter parenting” styles were linked to higher academic attainment.
“My parents expected us to show up for meals, go to school and be home before dark, but other than that, we had a lot of freedom.” Dr Doepke said. “The reality is that I am now a much more intensive parent who spends a lot of time on parenting, just like most other American parents today.”
They also looked at data on parenting across countries and realised that their economic approach explained a lot about why parenting differs around the world.
Economics has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 1960s’ and 1970s’ into an overscheduled activity, they say. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing “parenting gap” between richer and poorer families.
This raises the possibility of decreased social mobility (流动) and fewer opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. “We argue that parents respond to the environment they face, and depending on what that environment is, there can be outcomes that are socially problematic even if most parents do the best they can.” Dr Doepke said.
“In the U.S. today, the biggest concern is inequality in parenting, or what we refer to as the ‘parenting gap’ between social classes.”
Both authors’ view is that most parents are doing the right thing given the economic circumstances that they and their children face. 
29. “Helicopter parents” usually ________.
A. give a lot of freedom to their children
B. are highly involved in their children’s lives and education
C. come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds
D. lead to children poorly prepared for the real world
30. What has caused “parenting gap” according to the new book?
A. Economic circumstances. B. Age. C. Education. D. Occupation.
31. According to the new book, “helicopter parenting” ______.
A. should be adopted to ensure success for their children
B. has a negative effect on children’s fitting into the real world
C. is linked to high achievers academically
D. helps narrow the gap between richer and poorer families
D
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, toil (苦干) won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
33. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Success ― the child of talent and luck
B. Success ― altitude rather than attitude
C. Time and tide wait for no man
D. Time and toil make for success

We think of hospitals as peaceful and safe places. 36 . A study that came out in 2017 showed that one in four doctors in China has suffered from physical violence, with some even losing their lives.
To prevent such things from happening, the government worked out a draft law. It says that the safety of medical staff is protected by law and that no one is allowed to hurt medical workers.
In most cases, the attackers were relatives of patients who were not satisfied with their treatment. 37 . But of course, not every illness can be cured. 38 . Giving doctors cash bribes (贿赂) to get good treatment has long been an unwritten rule. Some people believe that they were not well treated because they didn’t bribe their doctors. In some cases, their anger in this situation turns into violence. Another problem is a lack of doctors. 39 , seeing as many as 60 or more patients in just half a day. It’s difficult for them to provide enough care for each patient.
40 . For example, many hospitals have set up offices to hear and handle patients’ complaints.
“When arguments happen, patients should ask for mediation (调解仲裁) or seek legal advice instead of turning to violence,” the State Council said.

A. Doctors need to take measures to protect themselves
B. Most people have high expectations for their doctors
C. Hospitals are trying to find ways to solve this problem
D. Doctors in large public hospitals often have to overwork
E. A general lack of trust in doctors has also made things worse
F. It’s difficult to solve the problems between doctors and patients
G. But doctors and nurses in Chinese public hospitals are often attacked
