课时作业26Ⅰ.阅读理解AAfter a salon (美容院) turns away a physically challenged woman, a stranger makes a truly beautiful gesture. “Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul, oh, and pretty nails！” That may well be Angela Peters's motto.Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon at the Walmart shopping centre in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her nails. But Peters was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of happiness for Peters was a disappointment.Ebony Harris, 40, saw everything and approached Peters. Harris offered to do her nails. They shopped for nail polish. They settled on a bright blue—a statement color that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighboring subway, found a table for two, and set up shop. Harris gently took Peters's hand on hers and carefully began painting her nails.Watching it all with awe and in admiration was a subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters's nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends.Peters, who runs a poetry website, harbors (心怀) no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. (The salon said they refused to offer Peters service because they were too busy.) “When people do us wrong we must forgive，” Peters wrote on her website. “I just want to educate people that people with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”本文是一篇记叙文。

If the answer is not enough, then you might have a harder time remembering something from yesterday than those who were well rested.Scientists have long known the advantages of a good night's sleep,but a new study has confirmed the old wives' tale that sleeping on anidea can actually make it easy to apprehend it, as sleeping is a key partof the human learning process.By studying the sleeping patterns of mice, a team from the JohnHopkins University School of Medicine found that sleep allows us to readjust brain cells, solidify lessons learned and then use them when we wake up.Lead author Graham Diering said, “The human brain can only store a certain amount of information before it needs to be readjusted. The bottom line is that sleep is not really downtime (停工期) for the brain. It has important work to do then.”When we are awake, the system of neurons (神经元) is pushed towards full ability in a bid to make sense of the world and everything we are taking in. This constant firing of neurons means we will lose our ability to devote brainpower to memory. Then when we are asleep, there is a process of reduction going on, which causes a 20% drop in receptor proteins (受体蛋白质) compared to those who are still awake. And it is this process of reduction that goes on when you are sleeping that is necessary for learning and memory.It isn't the only study to remind us of the value of rest. Back in September, a study showed when we sleep, the brain works harder to process the memories we value more highly. So studying before going to bed can help you remember more things than you do in the morning.语篇解读：本文是说明文。

Unit 13 People李仕才【阅读理解】Imagine getting a soft drink from a robot machine using only your smart phone. Or scanning a QR code (二维码) to buy goods from a newspaper ad.By making use of these new technologies, China mobile shopping is a bit ahead of the United States. China is still the world's largest smart phone market, even though growth is slow. It accounts for about 30 percent of the global smart phone market, and Chinese smart phone users are expected to jump from 526.8 million to 640 million in 2021, according to eMarketer. And its shoppers are using their instruments to rush to purchase a wide range of goods and services.Nearly half of all China's e-commerce sales, totaling $505.7 billion, are made with mobile devices, versus roughly one-quarter in the US, according to eMarketer. By 2021, China's mobile sales will account for 71 percent of those sales.“We don't see mobile buying staying unchangeable for the next five years,” said Monica Pearl, eMarketer's director of forecasting. “It'll in crease because consumer behavior has changed.” Featurerich(功能多样的), cheap smart phones are also helping fuel the boom, she added.“China is, after all, a mobile first market,” explains Brian Buchwald, CEO of consumer intelligence firm Bomoda. So it has been able to go beyond other markets, which mainly used PCs for purchases.Meanwhile, the Chinese government has allowed a free-flowing retail and payments marketplace. “There are no restraints(约束),” said Michael Zakkour, vice president of China / Asia Pacific practice at Tompkins International.And that's good news for WeChat, a messaging app that's only five years old and is offered by the Internet giant Tencent. The app now has 650 million users. And a good mass of them are using the app for mobile shopping. The result is that WeChat payments, along with Alibaba's Alipay, lead the market. Because retailers can easily set up shops inside WeChat, users can plan family vacations, order a taxi or even buy clothes without going anywhere else.China is up to three years ahead of the US in mobile shopping, said Buchwald. “And it's moving faster than any other area of the economy. It's the future.”1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.China has more goods than the United States.B.America's new technologies are as good as China.C.China's smart phone market is larger than that of the United States.D.American smart phone users will be ahead of Chinese in 2018.2.According to Monica Pearl, why is mobile shopping increasing in China?A.Chinese are fond of using these new technologies.B.Nearly half of all China's ecommerce sales are made with mobile devices.C.Smart phones are cheaper than any other country in the world.D.The behavior of customers has changed.3.Which best describes the Buchwald's attitude toward Chinese mobile shopping?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Cautious.D.Worried.参考答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.B解析：1.[细节题。

Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks (码头) into the ocean.Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece t o bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “He's going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet.

This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country's immigrants.The U．S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place. And last year's winner, Norway, came in second place —followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries — Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report in 2012”，coeditor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excell ent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected.”Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in seventh place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 countries changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico —24th overall, but 10th in immigration)．“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of the immigrants and the locallyborn，” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”Other major world powers were placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the U．K. was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before the International Day of Happiness on March 20, when the U．N. declared to recogniz e “the relevance of happiness and wellbeing as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of theirrecognition in public policy objectives”．8．Which place did the U．S. rank in the World Happiness Report 2017?A．14th.

Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower (割草机). How did he get_by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you'd think I'dbe content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers' fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.12．What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the fir st paragraph mean?A．Succeed as a king.B．Deal with complaints.C．Live in a satisfactory way.D．Get some extra money.13．How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A．3. B．4.C．5. D．6.14．According to the passage, the author intends to ________.A．tell us to be content with lifeB．warn us to live in a simple wayC．teach us to learn lessons from lifeD．encourage us to struggle for wealth15．What's the author's attitude towards life?A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic.C．Uncaring. D．Cautious.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，” said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70. Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t relative. Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began, while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society. Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，” said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.“Children should take__into__account their parents’ needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” he suggested.“It is very important that every individual dec ides for himself/herself, what ‘proper amounts of help’ means，” Hilbrand said, adding, “As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发觉，祖父母适当地帮忙照管孙辈比不照管孙辈的老年人寿命长。

Unfortunately, in this modern world, we have become confused by very narrow standards of beauty. Images of celebrities who never seem to age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处置), driven by the incredibly powerful beauty industry. We are all different — why should we all look the same? Isn’t there more to life than undergoing surgery in order to have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have?—Dr Elisabeth McKenna, PsychologistYes, it’s fake! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consultation I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my partti me job and my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been teased so much at school.—Debbie Caron, StudentIt makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend a fortune on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was available to treat people around the world who are in need but can’t get propermedical treatment. Furthermore, there are thousands of underqualified surgeons out there who only care about getting as rich as possible as quickly as possible. They don’t care about the psychological and physical damage they do. The whole industry makes me sick. We should do something to ban it.—Danny Glass, Student【语篇解读】本文关于整容的。
