When the food we order at a restaurant arrives, the first thing most of us want to do is enjoy it right away. But for every person who just wants to eat their meal, there's another who insists on taking at least five photos of their food to share on social media.
While this may seem like a recent phenomenon, "foodtography" has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US photographer Irving Penn(1917—2009) for example. In 1947, V ogue magazine published a series of food shots taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully placed salad or the series of cakes on stands, it would be easy to think Penn's 73-year-old photos were taken just last week.
Penn's efforts aside, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography. Today, if a social media star with thousands of followers posts just one delicious-looking food picture and mentions where it was taken, it can lead to hundreds of new customers for the restaurant or cafe. One such star is Clerkenwell Boy, based in London, whose Instagram account is followed by over 100,000 people.
Yet with popularity, the social media star tries to use his influence for good by encouraging people not to waste food. Research carried out earlier this year by UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's, published in The Guardian found that 55 percent of the 18 to 34-year-olds it surveyed were more likely to "try unusual recipes
to create Instagram-friendly dishes" than others, leading to increased food waste. "I hate it like a huge pile of seven burgers photographed just for likes. Are they going to just throw that away now?" Clerkenwell Boy told The Guardian.
So while it's fun to share photos of delicious dishes with your friends just remember the most
important thing: Don't forget to eat your meal afterwards.
21．（2分）The author introduces the topic by .
A．describing a funny scene B．showing two different practices
C．comparing two opposite opinions D．sharing an unforgettable experience
22．（2分）According to the text, what is the main reason for the recent rise of foodtography?
A．The efforts by Penn.B．The intention to show off.
C．The influence of social media.D．The attraction of delicious food.
23．（2分）What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A．Many people are used to ordering too much food in the restaurant.
B．Posting food photos on social media just for likes may cause food waste.
C．Popular stars should take responsibility for what they post on social media.
D．Trying special recipes to create attractive dishes is preferred by most teenagers.

According to a new review of research about good moods (心情) and physical activity, people who work out even once a week or for as little as 10 minutes a day tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise. And any type of exercise may be helpful.
The idea that moving can affect our moods is not new. A number of past studies have noted that physically active people have much lower risks of developing anxiety than people who rarely move. But that research centered on the relationship between exercise and mental problems. Fewer past studies explored links between physical activity and positive emotions, especially in people who already were mentally healthy, and those studies often looked at a single age group or type of exercise.
So for the new review, researchers at the University of Michigan decided to collect and analyze various past studies of working out and happiness. They began by combing research databases for relevant studies. Most of those were observational, meaning that the scientists simply looked at a group of people, asking them how much they worked out and how happy they were. A few of the studies were experiments in which people started exercising and researchers measured their happiness before and after. The number of
participants (参与者) in any one study was often small, but together, they represented more than 500,000 people ranging in age from teenagers to the old.
For most of them, the Michigan researchers found, exercise was strongly linked to happiness. Every one of the observational studies showed a beneficial relationship between being physically active and being happy. The type of exercise did not seem to matter. And the amount of exercise needed to influence happiness was slight (微小的). In several studies, people who worked out only once or twice a week said they felt much happier than those who never exercised. In other studies, 10 minutes a day of physical activity was linked with cheerful moods.
24．（2分）Paragraph 2 mainly focuses on .
A．the benefits of working out B．the risks of developing anxiety
C．the effects of positive emotions D．the limitations of the past studies
25．（2分）How did the Michigan researchers carry out the new review of research?
A．By getting more age groups included in the research.
B．By recording the types and amounts of exercise people take.
C．By measuring participants9 happiness after they take exercise.
D．By gathering and analyzing past studies of exercise and happiness.
26．（2分）Which of the following is in line with the finding by the Michigan researchers?
A．Those who never exercise are more likely to suffer mental problems.
B．The type of exercise plays an important role in influencing happiness.
C．There is a strong connection between physical activity and good moods.
D．People working out daily feel happier than those exercising once a week.

My dad passed away peacefully at home yesterday, surrounded by his family.
We are feeling grief but also gratitude. My dad's passing was not unexpected—he was 94 and his health had been failing—so we have all had a long time to reflect on just how lucky we are to have had this amazing man in our lives for so many years.
My dad had a great influence on my drive. When I was a kid, he never let me put very little effort into things I was good at, and he always pushed me to try things I hated. He modeled an amazing work ethic (道德准则) as one of the hardest-working and most respected lawyers in Seattle.
My dad's influence on our philanthropy (慈善行为) was just big. Throughout my childhood, he and my
mom taught me by example what generosity looked like in how they used their time and resources. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation would not be what it is today without my dad. More than anyone else, he shaped the values of the foundation.
Finally, my dad had a positive influence on my most important roles—husband and father. When I am at my best, I know it is because of what I learned from my dad about respecting women and guiding children's choices with love and respect.
Dad wrote me a letter on my 50th birthday. "Over time," he wrote," I have told you and others not to overuse the adjective 'incredible'. This is a word with huge meaning to be used only in extraordinary settings. What I want to say, here, is simply that the experience of being your father has been...incredible.”
I know he would not want me to overuse the word, but there is no danger of doing that now. The experience of being the son of Bill Gates was INCREDIBLE. People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates. The truth is, he was everything I try to be. I will miss him every day.
27．（2分）The underlined part "my drive" in paragraph 3 refers to .
A．my attitude to wealth B．my interest in what is around
C．my choice of work D．my effort to achieve something
28．（2分）Based on the text, which word can be used to describe the author's father?
A．Honest.B．Creative.C．Generous.D．Confident.
29．（2分）At the end of the text, the author implies that .
A．he regarded his father as his role model
B．his father developed a strict parenting style
C．people annoyed him by asking who the real Bill Gates was
D．the family were not allowed to use the adjective 66incrediblew
30．（2分）What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To remember his beloved father.
B．To inform people of his father's death.
C．To reflect on his relationship with his father.
D．To explain how his father got on with the family.

The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers (积压物资), which
is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts.31．
Think of the children. Children's needs are important during disasters. As families influenced by a disaster try to protect their children from the effects, they try to provide children with toys, snacks, juices, candies, and other comfort items, particularly in post-disaster environments.32．Shelters will accept these donations and give them out properly.
Donate your skills to your community. If you are trained in disaster response, you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers. Let them know your abilities. 33．Do not go as an individual volunteer to a disaster area expecting to find ways to help.
34．Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free. Spend time listening to the victims (受灾群众) with an understanding ear. You can bring books and read to the children.
Become a volunteer now for the future. Besides donating money, volunteering is the best way to give. 35．The Red Cross and charity organizations prefer a trained group of volunteers who can jump into action. They don't have the resources to train during the disasters.
A. Donate to an organization you can trust.
B. These items are expensive to transport to shelters.
C. Spend time caring for families and individuals at shelters.
D. Then, they will follow up if they are in need of volunteers.
E. However, you have to begin this process long before any disaster hits.

I'm very glad to share what I saw and heard there. Three days after I arrived in London I got to know several British high school students. They told me a lot about their school life, but what interested me most is the gap year.
At one time in Britain young people used to go straight from school to university. However, nowadays more and more students are choosing to take what is called a gap year. They have decided to do
something completely different for a year before starting their university studies. Why are gap years so popular? Well, in the past everybody believed it was better for students to complete their studies without a break. These days, students know that if they take a gap year they will get experience and confidence. What's more, many university teachers and employers think it's a good idea too. Gap year students often study harder at university.
The most popular thing to do is travel. Many students like to visit America, Canada, Japan, China and India, but the most popular country to visit is Australia. However, gap year travel is no holiday. Students usually have to find work to earn money to live on. Some students do voluntary work. Others find a job to get work experience and to earn a salary that helps to pay for their first year at university.

根据第一段“When the food we order at a restaurant arrives, the first thing most of us want to do is enjoy it right away. But for every person who just wants to eat their meal, there's another who insists on taking at least five photos of their food to share on social media.”当我们在餐馆点的食物上桌时，我们大多数人想做的第一件事就是马上享用它。

但每一个只想吃一顿饭的人，都会有另一个人坚持拍下至少五张食物的照片在社交媒体上分享。

Are they going to just throw that away now?'"英国连锁超市Sainsbury今年早些时候进行了一项研究，该研究发表在《卫报》上。

研究发现，在接受调查的18至34岁人群中，55%的人比其他人更有可能“尝试不同寻常的食谱，制作出能在ins上分享的菜肴”，导致了更多的食物浪费。

根据第二段中的“Fewer past studies explored links between physical activity and positive emotions, especially in people who already were mentally healthy, and those studies often looked at a single age group or type of exercise.”过去很少有研究探索身体活动和积极情绪之间的联系，尤其是那些心理本来就健康的人，而且那些研究通常只关注单一的年龄组或运动类型。
