My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby, but I knew I hadn’t lost anything. None of my parts had dropped off. Nothing had changed.
I could hear music that was close enough to me. I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room. I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him.
I wasn’t aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone. I noticed it ruined my peace of mind: pencils tapping, phones ringing, and refrigerators humming. Then, I began to discover many things I couldn’t do. I couldn’t tell where sounds came from, not could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms. I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone. For the first time, I had to admit that I had lost something.
Unlike a wheelchair, my disability doesn’t announce itself. When I got jobs, I chose to keep it as a secret. One day a business friend said, “Nicolette, sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions. People don’t know you can’t hear, so they think you’re strange, stupid --- or just plain rude. It would be better to just tell them.” But I knew if I told, people might see only my disability, and they might forget that I was also a writer, a painter, and a good gardener. I felt disabled and helpless.
This bothered me till I met my husband. One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said, “Hear the bird?” “What bird?” I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound. If he hadn’t mentioned i t I would never have noticed it. As I listened, slowly I began to hear --- or perhaps imagine --- a distant song. Did I really hear it? Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me? I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still.
This sharing is what both the disabled and non –disabled want. Every one of us, if we live long enough, will become disabled in some way. Let’s share. Now, just let me see your lips when you speak. And ask what you want to k now. These are conversations we all should have, and it’s not that hard to begin.
25 When the author wore the hearing aid, she ____
A. felt better prepared for the job interviews.
B. experienced a sense of loss.
C. was able to enjoy different sounds.
D. was teased by others.
26. She didn’t tell her disability to others because
__________________.
A. people might focus on her hearing loss.
B. she could get the work done as others.
C. people might be curious about it.
D. people might laugh at her.
27. Why did Nicolette write the passage?
A. To draw people’s attention to the hearing problem.
B. To remember the challenges she faces.
C. To tell people not to treat the disabled differently.
D. To show how much she missed before.
C
The fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for some time. Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food.
Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.
In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), cocoons(茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.
Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation—a classic example of “when life gives you lesions make lemonade.”
28．How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?
A. The food is rather abundant there.
B. The research team brought them there.
C. They were attracted by the environment.
D. They fell down there by chance.
29．What did the researchers find in the nest?
A. Larvae.
B. Cocoons.
C. A queen.
D. Worker ants.
30．Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?
A. They adapted to the conditions.
B. They were able to reproduce.
C. They had new comers to join them.
D. They had enough food. 31．What does the underlined word “trapped” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Stuck.
B. Expanded.
C. Melted.
D.
Caught.

The toilet seats produced by a domestic company in China's Southwestern Guizhou province have become popular in Europe and US.
On online shopping platform , a Topseat toilet seat was selling from $35 to $70. The buyers did not hold themselves back while praising the products in the reviews. Some commented the toilet seat was durable and well detailed. Some others said that none of the toilet seats they purchased were this good.
According to Guizhou local media, the sale volume has reached as many as 10,000 per month.Topseat toilet seats are produced by a low-profile local company in Guizhou's Anshun, a sanitary ware producer founded in 2012. The data from the official website of Guizhou government shows that, at present, the company produces 1.2 million sets of toilets seat annually which are all for export. Out of the annual output, 80 percent are exported to Germany and Switzerland and 20 percent to other countries including US, France, UK and South Africa.
The popularity of Topseat comes from good reasons. The raw material Topseat uses to produce wooden toilet seats is from the bamboo forests in Guizhou's Chishui. The bamboo material is eco-friendly, which is a feature that European consumers attach much importance."People in European countries are very much concerned about the climate change. We use recycled material, so they prefer to buy our products," Wu said. With the sales rising, Topseat is striving to develop more kinds of natural materials. Wu said they will make toilet seat with rice straw that is more eco-friendly in the future. Besides being eco-friendly, Topseat's another key is the spirit of innovation.
Topseat has more than 5,000 pattern designs, with various images on the toilet seats. There are even designs with relief sculptures and 3D effects. The customized design patterns are well-received in European markets and a German customer said that German people are very open to new things and the visitors to his home are impressed by the beautiful design. However, the Americans who focus more on practicability are not fond of beautiful designs. Therefore, Topseat changes its productive strategy and invests more energy to improve products' functions.
Despite the success at the moment, the company is prepared to tap more international market with more innovative ideas and products. 32．What are the customers' attitude towards Topseat toilet seat?

For many days, I make it a rule to hold a two-minute gratitude session.
I simply sit or kneel on the floor, with my eyes closed. I think about what I’m grateful for and whom I’m grateful to. I don’t do it everyday, but whenever I do it, it makes me very happy.
Why should we always do that? 36 . Here are some reasons:
Because it reminds you of the positive things in your life. 37 . Whether they’re loved ones, or just strangers you met on your way, they were nice to you in some ways.
38 . Having problems at work? Be grateful you have to work them out. Be grateful you have challenges, which make life more interesting. Be grateful you can learn from these challenges. Be grateful they make you a stronger person.
39 . It’s hard to complain abo ut the little things when you give thanks that your children are healthy and lovely. It’s hard to get stressed out over paying bills when you are grateful there is a roof over your head.
Because it reminds you to thank others. The simple act of saying “thank you” to someone can make a big difference in their life. So never hesitate to call them, email them or stop by to say “thank you” in person. It just takes a few minutes out of your life to tell them why you are grateful towards them, but it is very important to them. People like being appreciated for who they are and what they do. 40 . And of course, making someone else happy will make you happy ,too.
A.It costs you little, but makes someone else happy.

M:Hi,l.aura,l'm phoning to tell you we finally got home safely and to say thanks for having us to stay. We haven't enjoyed ourselves so much for a long time. I have to say, the journey home was a bit of a nightmare, though.lt took us almost 25 hours in the end. Despite having your very clear instructions, we managed to get lost trying to get out of Paris and ended up driving towards Normandy instead of Calais. By the time we got back on the right road, we'd missed the ferry and had to wait for the next one. Then we got caught in this awful storm, so we were delayed even more. In the end, we didn't leave Calais till two o'clock in the morning. We were all terribly seasick because of the rough sea.
1 knew we should have got the Eurostar train. We got into Dover at around four o'clock, so there was hardly any traffic. Because we were almost the only people on the motorway, we were racing along when, would you believe it, we broke down! We called out the emergency service, but we had to wait almost an hour. When he got there, he decided he couldn't repair the car on the motorway, so he pulled us the rest of the way to Orpington. As you can imagine, we were absolutely exhausted by the time we got home, but we both had to go straight into work that day. l was so tired that I fell asleep in a meeting. It was quite embarrassing. I can 'tell you! Anyway, thanks again for every thing. I'll phone you again. I'm off to bed now.。
