Twenty-five years ago, we were on a family vacation, driving to see family in New York State. Mom and Dad, probably looking for ways to keep their two young kids busy, borrowed a sign about fifteen inches long and three inches high. On one side of the sign was painted “Smile” and on the other side “Thanks”. The sign got a lot of use on the trip. One of us would hold up the sign, so a car behind us could read “Smile”. If they did, we turned the sign over and they got the reward of “Thanks”.
The smile lesson is important, but no more so than the other side, the thanks! Playing this driving game was one of the many ways my parents taught me the importance and value of gratitude, most easily expressed with a simple thank you.
The story goes that a farmer took some of his corn to the State Fair and won the blue ribbon, for the best corn. A reporter asked him what he was going to do with the prized ears of grain he was holding. He said that he would share the seed with his neighbors. The reporter was surprised and asked, “Why would you want to do that ” The farmer calmly answered: “Don’t you know The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the ripening corn and blows it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily worsen the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
So it is with smiling. You are the wind. You can produce smiling faces by spreading your pollen. The cost to you is slight, but the fruits of your pollen will be felt all around.
24. What is the purpose of the author’s family trip 25 years ago
A. To influence others in a fun way.
B. To play a driving game together.
C. To drive to another city to visit family.
D. To go on a family vacation on the road.
25. Why did the author’s parents make them hold up the sign
A. To keep them fit. B. To teach them a lesson.
C. To gain people’s gratitude. D. To make other drivers laugh.
26. The author tells the story of the farmer to show ________.
A. the importance of passing kindness
B. the necessity to keep good relationship
C. the significance of expressing gratitude
D. the pleasure of sharing with other people
27. What is compared to “the fruits of your pollen” in the last paragraph
A. The influence of smiles. B. The work you are doing.
C. The reason for your smiles. D. The people you smile at.
C
Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials today. It’s a composite material made from a mixture of broken stone or gravel, sand, Portland cement, and water, which can be spread or poured into molds and forms a mass resembling stone on hardening.
Around 3000 BC, the Egyptians used early concrete forms in their building.
One of concrete’s key ingredients is cement (水泥), which is thought to have been devised in Europe in 1300 BC. Later, cement would be combined with other materials to make a substance more similar to what we know as concrete today. The Romans, for example, are famed for their concrete; many structures built using it still stand today. But it could be older than that.
Middle eastern builders coated the outside of their clay fortresses with a thin, moist layer of burned limestone (石灰石), which chemically reacted with gasses in the air to form a hard, protective surface.
Around or before the third millennium BC, Nabataean traders or Bedouins built the first concrete-like structures in the southern Syria and northern Jordan regions. By 700 BC, the significance of lime was known, which led to the development of mortar supply kilns (窑厂) for the construction of rubble-wall houses, and concrete floors.
In 1824, Portland cement was invented by Joseph Aspdin of England. George Bartholomew laid down the first concrete-paved street in the US in 1893, which still exists.
By the end of the 19th century, steel-reinforced concrete was developed. In 1902, August Perret designed and built an apartment building in Paris using steel-reinforced concrete. This building had wide admiration and popularity for concrete and influenced the development of reinforced concrete.
In 1921, Eugene Freyssinet pioneered reinforced-concrete construction by building two airship hangars at Orly Airport in Paris.
28. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The composition of concrete. B. Early Roman buildings.
C. Early use of concrete in Europe. D. The invention of cement.
29. Why does the writer mention “burned limestone”
A. To introduce it as a building material.
B. To stress the importance of protecting buildings.
C. To talk about early use of concrete in Middle East.
D. To describe middle eastern builders’ rich knowledge in chemistry.
30. When was the Portland cement invented
A. In 700 BC. B. In 1300 BC.
C. In the 18th century. D. In the 19th century.
31. How is the text developed
A. By contrast. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By following time order.
D
Conflict in communities is usually about the task or the person. Of course, sometimes it’s hard to separate one from the other.
Task conflict happens when people have different ideas of what needs to be done. It points to potential differences in opinion about everything you can imagine that is essential for a group: mission, priorities of tasks, compensation mechanism (机制), decision-making mechanisms, etc. Task conflict is not a problem when people realize the source of the conflict is the task and not the munity members must resolve tension inclusively with everyone’s voice being heard and acknowledged. However, this does not mean that the solution must include everyone’s opinion. After the conversation, everyone should feel that they had a fair chance to express their opinion and that it was taken seriously by others and not brushed aside.
Conflict between people is tricky because it’s attacking a person’s essence and self-worth. Often this form of conflict, relationship conflict, happens when two conditions are met: First, people have different values or are holding different assumptions, and secondly, neither party can see beyond their own biases. With relationship conflict, the person is perceived to be the problem and is being attacked by others. Each party assumes that most people are on their side and that the other person is acting out of self-interest. This eventually leads to people disagreeing with each other, not for the task’s sake but to prove the other person is wrong.
Sometimes conflict originates in a task. People might prefer different tools or different approaches. If this initial controversy is ignored or not dealt with appropriately, the relatively easy task conflict turns into a more complex relationship conflict. When relationship conflict occurs, a lot of things are reactive rather than reflective. People stop thinking and act impulsively (冲动地).
All in all, remember that every culture has its own way of handling conflict. Some people consider it dishonest if an argument is not addressed openly, while in other cultures, such a discussion will not be acceptable. It comes down to “Don’t assume everyone thinks like you”.
32. What does the underlined phrase “brushed aside” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Approved. B. Ignored. C. Swept. D. Denied.
33. Which of the following is a relationship conflict
A. Eric has a quarrel with his girlfriend in shopping mall.
B. Group members are debating which approaches to be used.
C. Tom is criticized by his best friend for being irresponsible.
D. Two neighbors have a big argument over community health issues.
34. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A. Relationship conflict originates from task conflict.
B. Task conflict is easier to resolve than relationship conflict.
C. Conflict in communities causes people to make impulsive decisions.
D. Task conflict can be sometimes transformed into relationship conflict.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. Give a warning. B. Offer a suggestion.
C. Make an assumption. D. List a misconception.

Soothe the Sunday Scaries
Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax. But as the weekend comes to an end, many of us are missing out on “Sunday Funday” and instead experiencing a sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week.
That sense of dread on Sunday can come from many different sources. 36 A reminder after a weekend of “me time” that will be given to your work the next five days. Exhaustion after a busy weekend, making you concerned about the demands of the coming week. 37 Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.
Identify your anxiety sources.
Anxiety is a normal human experience, and one of the main ways to manage it is to identify your personal triggers. 38 Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress you expect from the week ahead into bite-sized parts can help make it all more manageable.
Don’t forget to relax.
When structuring your Sunday, try not to stuff in too many chores. 39 Maybe a body meditation, maybe a mid-afternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show. Whatever feels like a helpful distraction to get away from the scaries.
40
Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the doom and gloom of the week ahead. Having something to expect gives you something pleasant to think about. Instead of focusing on the awful things from the upcoming week, build excitement over a coffee or lunch date with a friend or workmate. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to something fun and will help improve your mood.
A. End your Sunday with the right energy.
B. Create excitement for the coming week.
C. Try to find out what’s really causing you to dread the week.
D. Structure can be a best friend when feeling the Sunday scaries.
E. It’s important to make space for relaxing activities to refresh yourself.
F. But even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable.
G. They can be fear of failure or criticism at work, especially from high-pressure jobs.

It was just another boring day for Jamie, a third-grader. He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook.
“Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.”
Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called.
Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst.
To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly!
Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak.
“Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.”
Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office
The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.”
Jamie couldn’t help it-he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath.
Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!”
The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.”
Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat ” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
“Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrisjon grinned. ________________________________

Dear Peter,
My name is Li Hua, a senior 3 student from Chongqing. China. I’m so lucky to be chosen as an exchange student to pay a three-week visit to the US and will be hosted in your home. Firstly, I’d like to say thank you for your reception during my stay in the US.
I will be a nice guest. I don’t smoke but I don’t mind if anybody smokes. Besides, I enjoy various foods, including pork, beef and mutton and I’m not particular about food. What’s more, I like pets, so it’s OK for me if your family keeps some pets.
If you have any requests or suggestions for me, don’t hesitate to tell me so that I can get well prepared before I go and pay attention to my behaviors when in your home. I believe I will have a good time and learn a lot in your home!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
“Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrison grinned. “It’s just part of the school theme week for the primary students. Today is animal day, and I wanted to show my support for our bird friends. Are you familiar with fowl play, Jamie ” “Uh, not really,” Jamie said, feeling more confused by the second “Well, it’s a kind of joke that involves wordplay and humor. Like, why did the chicken cross the playground To get to the other slide!” Mr. Harrison said, grinning widely “well, Jamie. You have a natural talent for comedy that is rare in someone your age. You have turned a lecture into a comedy show, and a science experiment into a stand-up routine. You are a born entertainer!”
“Really, Mr. Harrison You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival ” Jamie asked. “I do. Jamie. I do,” Mr. Harrison said, leaning closer to him. “That’s why I’ve decided to enter you in our school’s first ever Comedy Festival! It will be a showcase of the funniest students in the district, and you will represent our school with pride!” Jamie felt like he had won the lottery. He could not believe his luck! “Thank you, Mr. Harrison! Thank you!” Jamie said, jumping up from his chair. “I won’t let you down! I promise I’ll be the best comedian you’ve ever seen!” And so, Jamie found himself stepping onto the stage the following week, shaking with nerves. But as soon as he started telling his jokes, it was like a switch flipped within him. And when the crowd erupted in laughter, he knew that he had found his calling.
