The worst Mother’s Day gift I got my mom was also, at the time, the thing I was most proud of. I was working at Burger King part-time. And I was excited because for the first time in my life I held actual cash in my hands. It meant that I didn’t have to ask Dad for money to buy a Mother’s Day gift. Being a 16-year-old, I bought my mom a pack of cigarettes (香烟).
You don’t have to point out how stupid this Mother’s Day gift was. My sister did. She said, “Smoking kills. We want our mother to stop smoking. You’re doing the opposite. Your gift is thoughtless and lazy.”
I was ashamed (惭愧的). But it was too late. It was Mother’s Day morning, so I gave the cigarettes to Mom. I took a deep breath and began to explain. Y es, I had reasons. When I bought my own candy with my hard-earned US$3.35, I noticed that a pack of cigarettes was expensive. Really expensive!
And then I had a light bulb moment. “Why don’t I just save you from buying pack after pack? And you can save your money and buy something you really want with the money you save, because now you have an entire pack of cigarettes,” I said.
My mom looked at me, then the cigarettes, then back at me. Much to my sister’s disappointment, she said, “You’re right. They are expensive. Thank you for the gift, Sonja.”
It’s such a strange story to remember, but I remember it clearly —my mother’s puzzled face, the way she held the cigarettes, and my own deep relief and gratitude.
24. Why did the author describe the gift as the worst Mother’s Day gift?
A. Because her mother didn’t like it.
B. Because it was very expensive.
C. Because it was not suitable for her mother.
D. Because her mother had bought one herself.
25. How did the author get the money to buy the gift?
A. Her father gave her some.
B. She took some from Burger King.
C. She borrowed some from her sister.
D. She earned some by doing a part-time job.
26. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. The author noticed a bulb nearby.
B. The author suddenly turned on a bulb.
C. The author suddenly had a good idea.
D. The author had no choice but to hand her mother a bulb.
27. What did the author’s mother think of the gift?
A. She accepted the gift because she didn’t want to stop smo king.
B. She was puzzled at the gift but didn’t want to upset her daughter.
C. She thought the gift was useless and didn’t like it at all.
D. She was very excited because it came from her daughter.
C
Learning a new language can be difficult at any age. In a new study, it was found that it’s “nearly impossible” to become fluent if you start learning a language after the age of 10. That’s not because language skills start to go downhill after that age. “You’re still learning fast,” says Joshua Hartshorne, one of the study’s authors. “It’s just that you are running out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old.” People who start learning a new language after the age of 10 may still become quite good, the authors say. But it is harder for them to become fluent.
Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children’s brains are better able to deal with new situations than those of adults. This means they’re better able to respond to (回应) new information. “All learning includes the bra in changing,” Hartshorne says. “Children’s brains seem to be a lot better at changing.”
Kids may also be more willing than adults to try new things. And while adults may depend on the rules of their first language, kids are able to start to deal with a new one with an open mind.
Scientists found that people did better when they learned by immersion (浸入式学习) rather than only in a classroom. Moving to a place where your chosen language is spoken all the time is the best way for adults to learn. Learners of all ages can find native speakers nearby to talk with. By creating an immersive environment, it’s possible to become good at speaking a new language.
28. What do the underlined words, “go downhill”, in the first pa ragraph mean?
A. Disappear suddenly.
B. Develop quickly.
C. Change slowly.
D. Get worse.
29. Why is it difficult for people to learn new languages fluently at an older age?
A. Because they have lost the ability to learn.
B. Because they can no longer focus on learning.
C. Because their ability to learn a language begins to drop.
D. Because children’s brains work better than adults’ in many ways.
30. What is the reason why children are better than adults at learning new languages?
A. Children are able to remember new things quicker.
B. Children’s brains can change with situations.
C. Adults would never give up the rules of their first language.
D. Children prefer to deal with new things.
31. According to the text, immersion _____.
A. helps ad ults’ brains change quickly
B. is used only in classrooms
C. is a way in which one speaks only one language
D. is the best way for native speakers to learn their language
D
In today’s world of fast-paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they’re in museums full of great works of art. But you’d be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more — the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern museum in London, it’s even worse. Peo ple there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do one other important thing —take selfies (自拍)!
In recent years museums have been working to change this behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5-10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they appreciate (欣赏) it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist’s ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
32. Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A. 8 seconds
B. 10 seconds
C. 15 seconds
D. 28 seconds
33. Museums started “Slow Art Day” in order to ________.
A. encourage more people to come to the museums
B. stop visitors from taking selfies inside
C. make people spend more time on each piece of art
D. spread the beauty of art
34. What do the underlined words, “this behavior”, in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Spending a little time on each piece of art.
B. Taking selfies in museums.
C. Celebrating “Slow Art Day”.
D. Looking at every piece of art.
35. We can learn from the text that ______.
A. most people slow down when they are visiting museums
B. people are not allowed to take selfies in most museums these days
C. it’s important to see everything in the museum
D. the more time you spend on a piece of art, the more you learn about it

36 , read on.
Place yourself in the other person’s shoes. It’s easy to get lost in yourself. And you may only consider the effect of the other person’s “telling” on you.

It is more helpful to listen than it is to talk.
38 . Though you may think that it is a good idea to compare the person’s experiences to your own, this is far from the truth. 39 , such as comparing the person’s divorce (离婚) to your three-month-long relationship.
Avoid saying “I” or “me” a lot. This means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation. Of course, if the person knows that you’ve had a similar experience, then he or she may actively ask for your opinion. 40 .

B. Avoid comparing the person’s experiences to your own
