AEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. The foodends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.. Evan Lutz is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with a passion for business. “My entire life I’ve wanted to become a social entrepreneur. Not just starting a business that made money but also one that gave back. I’m just an average guy with a passion towards making sure no food goes to waste and making sure no person’s ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business.”Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells “ugly”produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. “If you go to a grocery store everything is growing the same exact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out And so we take all that stuff that normally get thrown out because it’s too big too small in odd size of shape, we box it up into a variety boxes and we deliver to our customers once a week. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters they were really looking to get a chance in life.”In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show “Shark Tank.” It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Luz sought a $50,000 in vestment in Hungry Harvest, in exchange for a five percent stake in his company. He got even more than he expected：$100,000 for 10 percent to ownership.21. The purpose of writing paragraph I is to .A. tell us how serous the waste isB. inform us many people have not enough to eatC. remind us of the unfairness of the societyD. lead out the topic of the passage22. According to Evan Lutz, we can know that .A. he aims to invest and get the money backB. he devotes to reducing food waste and feeding the hungryC. he and may other volunteers to support the companyD. he often gets appreciation from the poor families23. From the last paragraph, we can infer “Shark Tank” .A. is a programme showing the story of investorsB. belongs to meetings of political paritiesC. helps entrepreneurs get fund supportD. asks successful businessmen to show experienceBResearch shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment. Children’s relationships with peers（同龄人）strongly influence their success in school. And children with fewer friends are more at risk of drooping out of school. becoming depressed and other problems.Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s PlayWhen 6-year-old Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning, her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie. “Though they were only separated by a weekend. Te girls ran right into each other’s alms and hugged,” recalls Rachel’s mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert. “It was like a scene from a movie.”Most parents instinctively（本能地） know that having friends is good for their child Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play, but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.A Skill for Life“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr. Robbic Adler-Tapia. Psychologist with the Center for Children’s Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.Researcher William Hartup states, “Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive（认知的）development.”Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior. But rather. How well a child gets along with other children.The work of Arzona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids while the lack of friends is detrimental.Good Friendships Don’t Just HappenExperts agree that it is essential for children to establish high-quality friendships. But. Researchers warn. These friendships don’t necessarily just happen. Often. A good friendship begins with involved parents.Psychologist Dr Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.Bad CompanyMany parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships. “When she was in its grade. Her supposed best friend began calling her names and threatening to hurt her.” Says Mindy Miller. “My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class. It really crushed her spirit. I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”24. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to indicate that .A. childhood friendship is of great significance to their growthB. a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problemsC. it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout lifeD. Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend25. The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by .A. aggressiveB. disappointingC. ridiculousD. harmful26. We can learn from the passage that high-quality friendship most probably results from .A. social skills and good study habitsB. school grades and classroom behaviorsC. academic success and social adaptationD. positive parental involvement and social skills27. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr. Robbie Adler-Tapia agrees that .A. parents should regard making friends as something that just happensB. it’s wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationshipsC. parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situationsD. parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they canCToday we make room for a remarkably narrow range of personality styles. We’re told that to be great is to be bold, and that to be happy is to be sociable. We see ourselves as a nation of extroverts—which means that we’ve lost sight of who we really are. One-third to one-half of Americans are introverts-in other words, one out of every two or three people you know. If you’re not an introvert yourself, you are surely raising. Managing. Married to or coupled with one.If these statistics surprise you, that’s probably because so many people pretend to be extroverts. Closet introverts pass undetected on playgrounds, in high school locker rooms, and in the corridors of Americas companies. Some fool even themsemselves, until some life event-a layoff, an empty nest, an inheritance（继承遗产）that frees them to spend time as they like-enables them to evaluate their true natures. You have only to raise this subject with your friends and acquaintances to find that the most unlikely people consider themselves introverts.It makes sense tat so many introverts hide even from themselves. We live with a value system that I call the Extrovert Ideal—the universal belief that the ideal self is outgoing. Leading. And comfortable in the spotlight. The typical extrovert prefers action to meditation, risk-taking to caution-taking certainty to doubt. They favor quick decisions, even at the risk of being wrong. They work well in teams and socialize in groups. We like to think that we value individuality, but all too often we admire on type of individual—the kind who’s comfortable “putting himself out there”. Introversion—along with its sensitivity, seriousness, and shyness—is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a disease.But we make a grave mistake to embrace the Extrovert Ideal so unthinkingly. Some of our greatest ideas, art, and inventions—from the theory of evolution to Vincent van Gogh’s sunflowers to the personal computer—came from quiet and analytical people who knew how to tune in to their inner worlds and the treasures to be found there. We need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure. But we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. This is especially important for extroverted children too. They need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part. We could all try to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.28. Why do many people pretend to be extroverts？A. Because they want to be bold. Happy and sociable.B. Because they live with a value system that favors extroverts.C. Because they want to surprise others.D. Because they believe they are unlikely to be introverts.29. What does the underlined phrase “this subject” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A. The life event that happen ed to you.B. The relationship between your friends and acquaintances.C. How you spend your free time with an inheritance.D. What you think of your true nature.30. In most cases, extroverts have a preference for .A. sensitivity, seriousness, and shynessB. quick decisions and wrongdoingsC. action, risk-taking and certaintyD. meditation, caution-taking and doubt31. What is the best title of the passage？A. The Power of IntrovertsB. The Typical Personality StyleC. The Extrovert IdealD. Introverts vs ExtrovertsDIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—cat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone cating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV- where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the Tv showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more transiting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Aitcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.32. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who .A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products33. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that .A. food plays an important role in caming people’s trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s cam moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV34. What can be inferred from the passage？A. People who cat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.35. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory？A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
