Timothy is a 5-year-old boy with autism (自闭症). In October of 2018, doctors told his parents
that he suffered a brain tumor (肿瘤).
Two thieves who specialized in stealing packages from people’s front gates had no idea that one
of those packages contained a WWE wresting belt belonging to Timothy. At the time, the belt was
on the front gate of Sergio Moriera’s house, whose job was decorating stuff. “Timothy's father
doesn’t make a lot of money. But he wanted to give his son an amazing gift, and I told him I would
do everything for free. I said, ‘Just ship it over and I’ll do everything you want on the belt, and he’ll
have the belt of a lifetime.’” he said.
When the belt was taken. Sergio was extremely disturbed, “I want them to know they took hope
from a 5-year-old boy who is looking forward to that item coming back to him ... You stole that from
him. You broke a child’s heart.” Timothy’s father shared what that belt meant to his son, “Timothy
would not go anywhere without that belt… Most kids have balls, while he had a belt.” All hope was
lost.
Then something unexpected happened. “I saw two women appeared at the gate. They put down
the bag there. My guard went over and I realized what was happening. That bag contained the stolen
wrestling belt.” Sergio said. The two women apologized to Sergio. They said that they were thrown
out of a friend’s apartment after the friend saw the news report of the theft on TV. In fact, they were
trying to kick a drug habit. They cried with guilt and shame.
Seeing the returned belt, Timothy’s father said. “It's one of those things you always hear about,
those crazy stories about people, but you never think it’ll happen to yourself. I’m still taken aback, to
be honest.”
24. What was Sergio’s original intention
A. To buy the boy a wonderful gift. B. To beautify the boy’s belt for free.

Young adults have strong positive memories of the music their parents loved when they were the
same age, a study finds.
Participants in a study on musical memory said they remembered and loved the music that was
popular in the early 1980s, when their parents were young. They also relished the music of the 1960s,
which their grandparents may have been playing while changing their mom’ s diapers (尿布). “They
would hear this music and say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s my parents’ music,’ with obvious fondness,” says
Carol Lynne Krumhansl, the psychology professor at Cornell University who led the study.
The scientists had been testing musical memory in an earlier study, and were surprised to find
that college age participants could recognize older pop and rock songs just as quickly as the new
stuff. Even more surprisingly, they liked the older stuff more. Therefore, the researchers decided to
find out what was happening, using clips (片段) from hits on Billboard lists between 1955 and 2009.
More than 60 student volunteers (average age 20) listened to short clips of the top two pop and rock
songs of each year. The researchers quizzed them about which songs they recognized, how much
they liked them and their emotional responses. They were also asked if they had memories associated
with the songs and whether those memories were from listening with parents, alone, or with others.
“We didn’t have any idea that young adults had the strongest personal memories of the music of
the early 1980s”, Krumhansl said. She and her colleague, Justin Adam Zupnick of the University of
California, were even more surprised to see the second “reminiscence bump (回忆高峰)” in emotion
and memory for top hits was from 1965 to 1969.
The connection to parents’ music isn’t entirely surprising. Music plays a central role in bringing
up a child. Songs are taught at home and school and heard more informally as part of the home
environment. The songs parents choose to listen to reflect their taste, their values, and their era.
Besides, music is a powerful cue (提示) for calling up strong personal memories — when you made
a new friend at the summer camp or the blue dress you wore to a party. And the human brain
remembers music in great detail, unlike spoken words, in which people remember just the general
meaning.
The 1960s music may evoke strong memories in people in their twenties because of the quality,
Krumhansl guesses. She thinks the students might have memories of the 1960s music because it lives
on as classics. Technology may also be a factor. The introduction of cassette tapes in the 1960s made
music more ubiquitous (普遍存在的), and the same tapes were played long after that decade ended.
Next, Krumhansl wants to find out if other generations have the same experiences with music,
and try to trace influences back through multiple generations.
28. The underlined word “relished” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. played B. heard C. understood D. enjoyed
3 / 9
29. We can learn from the study that young adults ______.
A. can only recognize the top two pop and rock songs on Billboard lists
B. showed no emotional response to music of the 1950s
C. had the second strongest memories of the music of the late 1960s
D. like listening to the old songs with their parents
30. The last but one paragraph serves to _______.
A. draw a conclusion B. make a comparison
C. give an example D. provide an explanation
31. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Music of parents’ era still appeals to young adults of today.
B. Music can narrow the generation gap between parents and kids.
C. Music matters a lot in the growth of young people.
D. Music of quality can have a lasting influence.
D
Research has shown that disrupting one's natural “morning lark” (早起鸟) or “night owl” (夜猫
子) tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.
Who doesn't love a flexible work schedule Being able to make your own hours, come in when
you're ready and leave when you're done, step out to attend a child's presentation at school, have a
midday appointment, or even squeeze in a quick workout or nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up —
flexibility greatly improves one's quality of life.
The benefits don't stop there, however. Research has shown that having flexible work hours
actually makes one a better person. How so It's been found that disrupted (扰乱) sleep patterns —
in the form of having to act outside of your normal inclination to be a morning “lark” or a night
“owl” — can result in strange, unethical(不道德的), and out-of-line behavior.
Science journalist Linda Geddes said, “If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are
more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or
falsifying receipts(伪造凭据). But it's not just owls, the larks tend to behave more unethically in the
evening, and owls in the morning. So ideally, you want to introduce flexible working."
Employers would be wise to allow their employees to start whenever they feel ready — whether
it's at the crack of dawn or at 11 a.m., and to allow breaks or pauses in the day as needed — because
that would mean better productivity, performance, and behavior.
This shift is already happening, with the New York Times recently reporting that 27 percent of
US employers now offer the flexibility to work outside normal business hours, up from 22 percent in
2014; and 68 percent allow telecommuting(远程办公) as needed (up from 54 percent in 2014). With
4 / 9
the national unemployment rate at its lowest in 50 years, employers are having to become more
competitive in what they offer workers, and flex-hours seem like a no-brainer, highly beneficial to
all.
32. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A. Ways to improve life quality.
B. People's activities in their free time.
C. Methods to get a flexible work schedule.
D. The advantages of flexibility in work time.
33. What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Judgement. B. Tendency. C. Reaction. D. Choice.
34. What is the effect to change people's sleep pattern according to Geddes
A. They will show their nature more easily.
B. They tend to suffer from sleep problems.
C. They tend to behave immorally in their work.
D. They will get more flexibility in working time.
35. What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate
A. The unemployment rate is increasing.
B. Employers are getting more free time.
C. Flexible working has been creating more jobs.
D. More employers adopt a flexible work

The hot summer months come with unbearable heat. We always want to turn on the air
conditioner to cool down. 36 . But there are simple ways to cool down your home without
using the air conditioner. Meanwhile, you can save money on your electric bill.
Block out the heat of the sun with your curtains
While this may seem to be almost too simple and too straightforward a method to keep your
home nice and cool, it really does work. 37 . Therefore, blocking your windows with heavy
shades or curtains will not only help you cut your indoor temperature down but it will also help you
save upwards of 7% on your energy bills as well.
38
Make sure that your doors are as air-tight as possible so that you can prevent cool air from
escaping and hot air from entering your home at the same time. Also, make sure to keep the doors

that face directions to the south and west closed during the day so you can prevent the hottest
temperatures from the sun passing through to the rest of your house.
Keep your body cool
39 . Drink ice old water, keep cold packs pressed to your neck or your wrists, and do
anything else you can do to keep your core body temperature down. That way, you won't feel as
worn out by the extreme heat during the summer months.
