I was typing papers for new school students when Mama called. We talked about some senseless things for a while before she finally told me about it. “Well, Donner, there’s this class up at the high school this summer.” She said. “They say they can teach me to read and write. I’m trying to decide whether.”
“Of course, you should do it! That would be so wonderful. I’d be so proud of you.” I answered. She was 63 and had survived two alcoholic husbands and was an expert at buying and selling garage sale junk to keep food on her own table and buy Christmas presents for me and my brother’s kids. She used food stamps to buy food and other goods. Mama laughed, seemingly with relief. “Well, you know, I’d about gotten used to being the silliest old lady in town,” she said.
It turned out that her neighbor had found the class for her. The young woman had been doing Mama’s “business” for a while in my absence, helping to relieve my guilt over leaving Mississippi. The friend was a little crazy, but Mama liked her. She was real and, by then, I hated pretension as much as Mama did. When I was little, she would tell me: “Remember, Donner Kay, nobody’s better than anybody else.”
Three months into the class. Mama left a message on my answering machine: “Donner, I taught a class tonight!” She was almost singing the words. “The teacher let me teach the class!” She soon wrote me a letter in a careful, box y print I had never seen, instead of the strange way she had long written family names she had memorized.
The next time I flew home to visit, we both laughed like 12-year-olds as she read words from billboards on the way from the airport. Her grammar was getting better. She kept talking about her classes and the other students.
14. Why did Donner’s mother phone her according to Paragraph 1
A. To advise Donner to take a course. B. To show her support for Donner.
C. To tell Donner her decision. D. To ask Donner for advice.
15. How did Donner’s mother feel when she left a message for Donner

A. What progress Donner’s mother made. B. The difficulty Donner’s mother had in learning.
C. How Donner’s mother learned to read and write. D. The effects other students had on Donner’s mother.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品) contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives (添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its impact on mental health.
In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed(诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent lower risk of dementia.
In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the symptoms (症状) of mild depression,“mentally unhealthy days”, and“anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.”
Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers recommend tax es on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations.
17. What do we know about UPFs
A. They have no nutritional value. B. They are ready-made and instant foods.
C. They are cheap and mass-produced. D. They serve as additions to our daily diets.
18. What’s Eric Hecht’s attitude toward the new study
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Doubtful.
19. What do researchers suggest doing
A. Collecting higher taxes on UPFs. B. Decreasing UPFs’ consumption in diet.
C. Focusing on the nutrient content of foods. D. Increasing public awareness of whole foods.
20. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Public Health Response to UPFs B. Physical Disorders Linked to UPFs
C. Rising Consumption of UPFs in the US D. Negative Effects of UPFs on Mental Health

How to Stay Focused While Working from Home
Right now, many people have been forced into the work-at-home life suddenly. 21 However, you can learn to boom at home as productive as in a traditional office. Here are some tips for focusing while working from home.
22 When you work from home, chances are that you’re going to have more control over your day than when you’re office-based. So, get organized and arrange your day accordingly. Know when you’re at your peak, and actively schedule the tasks that require more creativity and brain input for that time.
Take breaks. So many people seem to be copying their office life but at their kitchen table—tied to their laptop all day without having a rest. The good news is that most of us are much more productive at home. 23 It’s not avoiding your responsibilities—it’s really important, as research shows that if we don’t rest for certain time, we become touchy and less productive.
Don’t get distracted. You’ve swapped the interruptions of coworkers for many other things: pets, the fridge, the laundry, movies. Set your work hours, and focus on the work that matters in that time. You can grab a snack, pet the dog or put the washing machine on when you take a break. 24 Stay focused.
Move around your house or apartment. When I’m working with teams in workplaces, I always advocate walking around the office building or campus to stay energized, and not staying at a desk all day long. The same goes for working from home. 25
A. Think like a designer.
B. Prepare for the unexpected.
C. But you must take a rest from time to time.
D. Their working circumstances are under less than ideal.
E. Set rules about when you’ll check social media, or use an app.
F. Even walking a short distance inside your home can re-energize you.
G. Also check in with others and ask how they are and how you can help.

“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me…”she replied.
