I don’t know how you always mess up our orders.”I politely mumbled an apology. It was only a cup of soup, and an honest mistake, but I felt like such a disaster.The residents at the high-end senior living community, where I served as a waitress in the cafeteria, expectednothing less than a five-star dining experience and my small mistake was not to be tolerated.When I first started working there, I was already shy and couldn’t stand the idea that someone didn’t like me. Early on, when residents would scold or criticize me with or without reasons, I felt like crawling under a rock.The most difficult guests by far were a group of six women who the servers nicknamed “The Party.” At first, they seemed friendly. But the truth is that they were rude and demanding. I would leave the dining room exhausted almost every night after serving them.Somehow those rough nights started to change me to become more outgoing and self-assured. The residents gradually depend on me and my “convinced” smile. I used to have trouble speaking in front of a group and would be shy when I did. Now, I have no problem walking up to a table of fourteen people and making conversation as if I had known them my whole life.I give credit to “The Party” for putting me in a situation where I had no choice but to smile and carry on. Today, when I see “The Party”, I s till flinch a little inside, but then I pull back my shoulders, lift my chin and march up to them ask, “What’s it going to be today, ladies?”24.

With great power comes great responsibility.CScientists first noticed something was up in a study that compared two similar groups: transit drivers, who sit most of the day, and conductors or guards, who don’t. Though their diets and lifestyles were a lot alike, those t hat satwere about twice as likely to get heart disease as those that stood.Sitting too much may increase the risk of dying prematurely. Even if you work out 7 hours a week — far more than the suggested 2-3 hours —you can’t reverse (逆转) the effects of si tting 7 hours at a time. Don’t throw away all that hard work at the gym by hitting the couch for the rest of the day. Keep moving!The seated position puts huge stress on your body, including back muscles, neck, and spine. Look for an ergonomic chair — tha t means it’ll be the right height and support your back in the proper spots. But remember: No matter how comfortable you get, your back still won’t like a long sitting session. Get up and move around for a minute or two every half hour to keep your spine in line.You may be more likely to get cancer. The more you sit, the higher the chances. Older women have higher chances of getting breast cancer. That doesn’t change if you’re super-active. What matters is how much you sit.Then, to be healthy, you need to know how to take a stand? Work more movement into your day: Stand up and stretch every half hour or so. Touch your toes. Take a stroll around the room. Stand at your desk for part of the day. Set your computer on top of a box. All these things can help stop the negative effects of uninterrupted sitting and keep you on the road to good health.28. Who may be the fittest person according to the text?A. Mr. Green, who drives the city bus, works 8 hours a day.B. Mr. Smith, who exercises 7 hours a week, sits 7 hours to work a day.C.

How many paragraphs are devoted to listing the possible damages?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.30. What’s the author’s suggestion for people to be fit?A. Don’t sit while you are working.B. Look for an ergonomic chair to sit in.C. Get up occasionally and move around.D. Work out 2-3 hours a week for health.31. What is the best title for this article?A. Sitting too much really killsB. New findings from scientistsC. How to take a standD. Stand up and sit downDYou must have heard of Mr. No Ears. This earless, one-eyed cat from Albufeira, Portugal, is a Facebook phenome non and has his own book: Saudades Mr. No Ears. But for those of you who don’t know him, here is his story.Often referred to as the “Lion King of Albufeira”, this adorable cat was the head of a eat colony in the region. Viewed from a distance, he appeared to be a king, sitting on a wall. On most days, this was usually where you would find Mr. No Ears, with the members of his colony scattered around on the walkway. At other times, he was jumping cliffs and running on the beach. No one knew on which day he was born, so his caretakers decided to celebrate his birthday on World Animal Day on October 4th.Although there were no ears, his hearing functioned well. One of his eyes was open and purulent (有脓的), with no sign of an eyeball…...Despite all of his problems, he was a strong-minded and happy cat. Some hotel owners found him annoying, ordering his caretakers to send him away so he wouldn’t “upset tourists.” But there were just as many people who loved him to pieces, and once he got his own Facebook page, the entire world was at his paws.On the evening of 11 September 2015, Mr. No Ears was taken away against his will. Less than an hour later a request was made via a Facebook page asking for money, making false claims that he was “in pain” and “had bone cancer.” It was said that in an attempt to prove cancer which he did not have, Mr. No Ears suffered a heart attack. He then suffered organ damage, including his kidneys and liver. The taking-away of this much-loved cat from his home and family and the circumstances of his death were very emotive subjects, causing shockwaves throughout the animal-loving world.Thanks to Mr. No Ears, the Albufeirafs Peneco beach Colony became a household name and a “must see” on cat lovers, holiday choices. You will recognize Mr. No Ears’ favorite seat under a palm tree because Mr. No Ears’ love-lock is attached to it.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.
