Recently Karen Loewe, a teacher from Oklahoma, is being praised for teaching her students a most influential emotional lesson that they will not soon forget. She decided to try a new exercise in class in empathy(同理心) with her students called “The Baggage Activity”.
Upon ensuring that her classroom was a safe space for expression and respect, she asked what emotional baggage (情感包袱) meant to her students. She then asked them to write about some emotional baggage of their own--and since they were not required to put their names on the paper, they could describe their issues as freely as they wanted without being identified. The youngsters were then asked to take turns reading what their classmates wrote, and all of them were given the opportunity to identify themselves as the person responsible for the writing.
“I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and shared negative things with the class.” Loewe said. “The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally tiring day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more and forgive a little faster.” Her students have apparently been “so much more respectful” of each other.
“They don’t interrupt or talk down to each other,” she said. “They’re not rude. It’s completely changed how they treat each other. I wish I could have done these years ago. It's been so good.” Furthermore, Loewe made sure to keep all the paper confessions(吐露) in a plastic bag so that her students won’t soon forget their exercise in empathy. “This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage,” Loewe
added. “We will leave it at the door. As they left, I told them they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.”
21. Karen hangs this special bag at the door_____.
A. to remind the students to hand in their papers.
B. to remind her students to behave properly in campus
C. to let students know everyone has negative emotions
D. to keep all the baggage out of the clean classroom

B. Her students learn to how to write emotional articles.
C. She allows students to discuss issues freely in class.
D. Students have a platform to express negative feelings.

Nonverbal communication is a broad term used to describe any method of conveying information without words. Whether intentional, based on societal cues (提示), or completely unconscious, common forms of nonverbal communication include body language and facial cues, fashion and personal clothing, hand gesture, as well as graphical signs and design.
It is important to note that nonverbal communication is really about a lack of words, rather than a lack
of speech sounds. That means writing would be considered verbal communication while sounds like grunts(嘟哝) would not.
Nonverbal communication can be broadly divided into relatively universal forms and culturally dependent for of fear, joy, or anger. On the other hand, nonverbal cues like bowing, shaking hands, or flashing a peace sign are culturally characteristic, and therefore have little meaning outside of cultures that understand them.
Fashion is form of nonverbal communication, and in many modem cultures is a hugely important way in which people telegraph things about themselves.
Gestures also act as a form of nonverbal communication. A wide range of hand gestures can be found in most cultures, and in the west there are some almost universal gestures, such as a wave goodbye, a thumbs-up to show everything is okay, or hands outspread to signify offerings.
Body language is one of the most studied forms of nonverbal communication, and deals with how the body rests, how it is situated in relation to other bodies, and the special distance between bodies. For example, turning towards a person when seated and speaking to them is a nonverbal cue showing interest, while turning away shows a lack of interest. Tipping your head slightly is a form of nonverbal communication to show curiosity or express that you are listening closely or what they are saying. while constantly looking away would show a lack of attention.
24.What is the purpose of the author in writing the text?
A.To explain what nonverbal communication is.
B.To introduce some universal body languages.
C.To compare nonverbal cues and verbal ones.
D.To discuss the cultural shock of communication.
25.According to the author, the meaning of __________differs across cultures.
A．smiling
B．grunting
C．bowing
D．screaming
26.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about？
A．Body language is the most frequently studied by scientists.
B．Body language relies on body movements to convey messages.
C．Body language can be used to express your different meanings.
D．Body language varies very slightly from one country to another.

The hardest part pf a new sport or a musical instrument is getting started. Once you figure out the technique, the skills return fairly easily, even if not used for long. Most experts attribute this to “muscle memory,” which means the brain remembers the action and can recall it when needed. Now some researchers believe the errors made while learning the task may be as important in recalling previously learned motor skills.
The study led by Reza involved asking volunteers to play a simple video game. But the players did not know the researchers reprogrammed it as soon as they mastered the game, thereby forcing them to restart the learning process. What the scientists observed was that though the volunteers did make mistakes every time the game was changed, they got successively faster at mastering it.
Reza believes that this has to do with the fact that in addition to committing the task to muscle memory, the brain is also critiquing each wrong move and learning how to correct it. He compares it to having a coach that points out the mistakes and makes suggestions on how to improve.
While these new findings may help improve recovery method for people with injuries,most people think mak ing mistakes is a good thing. So the next time you needn’t get discouraged by the errors.
27.What really makes your long unused skills return easily?
A.Excellent techniques
B. Strict training
C.Previous efforts
D.Muscle memory
28. What does the underlined word “critiquing”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Evaluating
B.Preventing
C.Signaling
D. Calculating.
29. What surprised the scientist in the study?
A.The errors in video games can save players a new learning process.
B. A coach need to advise his trainees to memorize each wrong move.
C.Lessons drawn from the errors kept in mind make learning easier.
D. Making mistakes does good to improving injured people’s recovery
30.What is the best title for the text?
A.Getting Started Is a Challenging Task
B.You Have to First Fail Before Success
C.Making Mistakes Can’t Be Avoided
D.We Needn’t Correct Errors We Make

Costco made headlines for bumping up its minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. The warehouse
store has a reputation for treating its workers generously, a policy I observed while working there in 2015. In many ways, it’s as enjoyable a place to work as it is to shop. 31
Employees enjoy plenty of benefits. Costco now sets its minimum wage for hourly employees at $15 an hour. That’s in addition to offering benefits like healthcare for all employees, regardless of part-time vs. full-time status. While I was at Costco, they gave employees complimentary(免费赠送的) memberships to the store. 32 And to top things off, Costco paid employees time and a half just for working on Sundays.
Costco is a great destination for health food. People who haven’t shop ped at warehouse clubs might expect the “buy in bulk” mentality to mean the aisles are lined with junk food.33 Greek yogurt, coconut water, protein powder, and lean meats are just some of the things that line the shelves at Costco. And the produce section is filled with delicious apples, bananas, berries, salads and more, making it a hot-spot where nutritionists food shop.
34 When I tell friends I still shop at Costco, they don’t understand what my husband and I buy there, since we don’t ha ve kids and live in a small New York apartment. But there are plenty of options for any family size, and it doesn’t mean you have to keep ten spare jars of tomato sauce in your kitchen. Things like Kirkland Signature protein bars and olive oil are shelf stable for our small household. Cleaning supplies like kitchen sponges are sold in reasonably sized packages, too. It just depends what you’re looking for.
People really do buy that famous giant bear. The giant teddy may seem like an Internet novelty, and plenty of people (myself included) have stopped to take photos with the 8-foot-tall friend. But I saw more than one person buy the giant stuffed animal - usually grandparents purchasing it as a gift for their grandkids. 35
A.It’s not just for big famili es, either.
B.There are a lot of things you can get at Costco.
C.Here are a few of the things I learned on my journey.
D.I do wonder how they stuffed it into a car to get home.
E.It is the exact place where big families can find everything they need.
F.Each employee also got a free turkey to enjoy with their families on Thanksgiving.
G.While Costco does sell things like cookies and candy bars, there are plenty of healthy options.

Smaller plates help reduce obesity
New research suggests there is 56 simple and easy way that helps people to stop, over-eating. Researchers say there is an alternative to fancy diets. They say that using smaller plates, 57 (knife) forks, glasses could reduce the amount of food we eat. Many of us tend to use the size of the plate 58 a measure of how much we can eat. If we use a large plate, we fill the plate with food, 59 often means we eat too much Research suggests that smaller plates could lower the amount of food we eat. British people could reduce their calorie intake by up to 16 per cent, 60 Americans could see a reduction of up to 29 per cent in calories.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Jatin and his younger sister, Neha, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was
very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(盯着他们).
One day, Jatin took Neha's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞)with Jatin from behind and he crashed to the ground.

【答案】: One possible version
Jatin looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Jatin could't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly herad the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Jatin was disqualified for
breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Jatin walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was waiting outside. She was really nervous whether his brother had brought her what she was expecting. "Neha, see what I have got for you." He took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at his brother. "Thank you! Jatin."Tears of joy welled up their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.。
