In 2000, I was around seven years old. My parents, sister and I were coming
back from a ball game, which had been our 11 weekend adventure since I was
two. When we stopped in our driveway, we spotted two adult geese and a small goose.
The adults were startled by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too
young to 12 and couldn’t follow.
Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep 13 and a fear of watchful predators*. The small goose was walking around our yard, and it was clear that it needed warmth and 14 to make it to the morning.
We all slept 15 one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to scurry* the little thing over to its parents, who kept coming back to our yard. However, it wouldn’t go to them and 16 wouldn’t come close enough to claim* it. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were its 17 family, so we had to give it a name. My sister called the little guy Peeper, 18 it would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months 19 almost a year passed. We settled into days 20 with feathery* hugs. My dad threw Peeper up into the air every day so that it could learn to fly.
One evening, my uncle came over, and my dad wanted to show him Peeper. He threw it up in the air, but this time Peeper just 21 . We looked for it for days, but it didn’t come back. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.
Geese live to be around 25 years old, are very loyal*, and 22 forget their first home. Even so, it came as a total 23 to me when in 2019 an aging adult goose made its way back to my family home. After two weeks of the goose coming back 24 , it became clear to me that this wasn’t any unknown goose. It did all of the same things Peeper used to do. In addition, this goose also 25 to the name Peeper.
Much to my amazement, my old best friend had come back, 20 years later.

Drink of choice? Ceremonial* drink? Green tea is both of the above,
and the Chinese drink it morning, noon, and night, almost every day in
their life.
To the beginner, green tea is just green tea; but to the expert, which is
any Chinese person, green tea is different in many ways. There is this
year’s crop, last year’s crop, the spring crop, the autumn crop, north tea, south tea. To understand those differences, you just have to be born into that knowledge.
The process of making green tea is no secret. You just put a few leaves into a cup and pour in hot water—the hotter, the better. The key is in drinking it—drinking that hot tea without getting your teeth full of leaves. The only other secret is to keep adding hot water every time the guest takes a sip. In Chinese culture, the poor host is one who lets the tea get cold. As a native born U.S. southerner, I found this especially interesting. The Chinese, world-class experts on the subject find the whole idea of iced tea to be unthinkable.
Some drink their tea cup by cup. Some make tea in a bottle every morning and carry it with them all day, just adding hot water sometimes. Whatever the style is, they drink their tea. It’s more than a part of their diet. It’s a part of their lifestyle.
They claim great value in this drink. It calms them down, controls the heartbeat, heals sore throats, and clears the mind. All this may or may not be true, but the real value of green tea is ceremonial. Chinese society and business develops around the cup of tea.
29. According to the passage, green tea is different in its to a Chinese.
A. picking time
B. color
C. cooking way
D. smell
30. According to the passage, what’s the right way to drink the green tea?
A. Drink the green tea with the leaves.
B. Drink the tea when it is cool enough.
C. Sometimes add some ice into the tea.
D.Pour hot water and keep the tea warm.
31. What kind of value of the green tea is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Social value
B. Historical value
C. Medical value
D. Ceremonial value
32. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Green Tea —drink of choice
B. Green Tea —a popular drink
C. Green Tea — an eastern secret
D. Green Tea — a Chinese lifestyle
C
There is a new kind of glasses that helps people considered legally
blind to see again. The company E-Sight created these unusual glasses.
They are electronic, and work by providing the users with huge amounts
of visual* information.
But how do they work? A high-speed, high resolution camera is set in the middle of the glasses. It gets video images of whatever is before it. The computer in the glasses immediately processes the video and shows it on two screens in front of the use r’s eyes. The video is improved by the glasses’ technology so that the user is able to see the image.
The glasses also autofocus* extremely quickly between short, medium, and long distance vision. This helps the user to move easily from reading a book, to watching TV, to looking out a window.
“The device is almost bombarding the eyes with so much information to send to the brain through the eye that it can present them with a picture that is pretty much what you would see or I would see. It is a true wearable breakthrough for those who are living with vision loss.” Jeffrey Fenton, the marketing director for E-Sight, said.
The company says the glasses have what it calls “b ioptic tilt abilities”. With these abilities, users adjust* the device so they have the clear and steady* video. Such balance in vision helps users avoid feeling sick. Users are advised to take time to get used to the glasses. In the beginning, they should wear them just a few hours at a time while their eyes adjust.
The World Health Organization says about 285 million people are visually_impaired, including 39 million who are blind. Among that group are the sisters of E-Sight founder Conrad Lewis. Lewis, an engineer, decided to help his sisters see.
The glasses are costly, however, user Julissa Marquez says they are worth the money. Marquez lost most of her eyesight in 2013 and after more than ten operations she was left with about thirty percent vision in one eye. Through the glasses, however, she says her vision is “a mazing.”
33. The glasses catch video images with the .
A. glass
B. computer
C. screens
D. camera
34. The glasses have all these advantages EXCEPT that .
A. users do not need to focus by themselves
B. it only takes a few hours to get used to the glasses
C.
the pictures presented are as clear as the real things D.
“b ioptic tilt abilitie s” help the users feel comfortable
35. The underlined phrase “visually_impaired” probably means .
A. unable to see
B. pain in eyes
C. poorer in health
D. weaker in eyesight
36. The passage is mainly about .
A. how the glasses effectively work to help get normal vision
B. how E-Sight works to create the glasses to satisfy the blind
C. why vision loss has become a common problem nowadays
D. why these unusual electronic glasses are created by E-Sight

During the Christmas season, a large number of delicious puddings are
sold in this store. Here you are allowed to sample them before coming to a
decision.
I often wondered if someone who had no idea of buying, would take
advantage of this privilege*. One day I asked this question of the shop girl
and I learned it was indeed the case.
“There’s an old gentleman, for example,” s he told me, “h e often comes here and samples the puddings, though he never buys anything.” She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman appeared and began looking closely at the puddings with great interest.
“Tha t’s the very gentleman I’ve been telling you about,” whispered the girl. Then she turned to him, “Would you like to sample them, sir? Here’s a spoon for you.”The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted it and began eagerly to sample the puddings.
It was obvious that he sincerely believed that he might finally buy some. But I believed he wouldn’t.
Among the crowd of happy Christmas shoppers, the man seemed pitiful and out of place. Then I went up to him and said, “Sir, may I buy you the puddings? It would give me such pleasure.”
He jumped back as if he had been stung and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face.
“Excuse me,” he said, with more dignity* than I would have thought possible considering his appearance, “I wonder if you have mistaken me for someone else.” He quickly turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, “Kindly pack me up this one here. I will take it with me.” He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive puddings.
The girl took down the puddings, while he pulled out a worn little black wallet and counted the pennies. To save his “hon our”* he bought them which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to unsay my words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walking away.
“You pay at the desk,” the shop girl was telling him, but he didn’t seem to understand and kept putting the coins into her hand. And that was the last time I saw or heard him. Now he can never go there to sample puddings any more.
37. What was the writer curious about at the beginning of the story?
A. Why some people liked to sample puddings in this store.
B. Why many delicious puddings were sold during Christmas.
C. Whether people would try puddings without buying finally.
D. Whether people tried puddings before coming to a decision.
38. Why did the old man jump back when the writer offered him help?
A. He was so moved by the writer’s kindness.
B. He was shameful and didn’t want to lose face.
C. He was excited to get the puddings that he wanted.
D. He was afraid the writer wanted him to buy puddings.
39. How might the writer feel in the end?
A. Satisfied.
B. Cheerful.
C. Disappointed.
D. Regretful.
40. What does the writer want to tell us by writing “I felt that the kindest thing I could do now
would be walking away.”?
