Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive-through window of a local cafe,he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him. He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they're not already having one.

When the writer arrived home, he couldn't hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply.“I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house.”
The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for others every day.“To the nice man in the SUV, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please know your kind gesture has truly saved a life,”he said.“On July 18,2017, I had the greatest day.”

While flatmates can bring about stress and difficulty, they can also be great company and develop into wonderful, lifelong friends. Before making the decision to live with a flatmate or to live alone,consider carefully all the accompanying advantages and disadvantages.
Most people team up with a flatmate primarily due to financial problem. A shared living space also means you're responsible for only half of the rent or shared bills. Additionally, when you're splitti ng costs,you can afford a better apartment than you could alone. However, money can become a point of argument for flatmates as well. If your flatmate gets laid off or quits his job, you may have to pick up his bill until he's back on his feet. Your flatmate may also insist he owe less because he doesn't use the shower too often.
In addition to bills and the rent, flatmates also typically share responsibility for unpleasant tasks,such as cleaning or doing the dishes. Without a flatmate, cleaning and tidying responsibilities are yours alone. However, flatmates also frequently end up sharing plenty of other things many people would rather not: use of the TV, the bathroom, food and even clothing, for example. You may have to wake up earlier than you'd like to get a hot shower before work or give up watching your favorite show because your flatmate beat you to it.
When you live alone, you get to determine the terms of your social life, and you go home to an empty house or apartment at the end of the day. That can be preferable if you're a serious student or professional, someone who needs to work and rest in the quiet of an apartment. With a flatmate, there are unexpected guests and your social options can expand sharply. Keep in mind, however, that having a flatmate means that he may feel social when you do not, and you may have to deal with unwanted house guests.
28. What's the main reason for most people to share a flat
A. Ensuring safety. B. Saving money. C. Sharing housework. D. Reducing loneliness.
29. What does the author say about a serious flatmate
A. He keeps everything in the room tidy. B. He has excellent social manners.
C. He likes a peaceful life. D. He often turns away unexpected guests.
30. How does the author express his opinions
A. By making comparisons. B. By stating an argument.
C. By analyzing the outcome. D. By describing the process.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Buying a Flat or Sharing One B. The Reasons for Sharing a Flat.
C. How to Share a Flat with a Flatmate D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Flatsharing.
D
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights,station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night.

For example, while installing(安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let's contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
32. What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has little effect on plants. B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It affects animals’behavior during the day. D. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
33. Why does light pollution affect the climate
A. It increases the temperature at night. B. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases. D. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
34. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting. B. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
C. Use clean energy to produce electricity. D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.

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。
Some people are always on time, while others are at least 20 minutes(and sometimes even hours)late! It's annoying, because while you wait for your friend, you feel offended. 36
First of all, talk to your friend about your feelings. Don't offend them. 37 Ask your friend why they are always late and find out the answer. It might happen that your friend just doesn't know how to effectively manage their time. By the way, you're not the only person whom your friend makes wait, so don't take things personally.
Try to find a way to make your friend come on time. For example, you can tell them that your cellphone is out of power and you can't be called. If your friend can't call and tell you they will be late,they will have to come on time. 38 Don't worry. You don't have to come earlier!
When nothing works, change your attitude to accept the fact that your friend will never come on time.39 For instance, don't arrange the meetings when your friend has to pick you up for the movie. You know your friend will be late and you will miss it!
40 Take a book or a newspaper to read, so you can entertain yourself and never notice the time that you have to wait. If you're not a book lover then check your email or chat with your other friends.
A. Be productive when you have to wait for your friend.
B. Wait a certain period of time, then go on with your plans, alone.
C. So how can you deal with the always-late friend
D. After all, friendship is more important than arriving on time.
E. Don't put yourself in situations where you depend on your friend.
F. Why should you put up with a lack of respect for your valuable time
G. Or just tell your friend you're to meet half an hour earlier than the real meeting time.

Pansy Takes a Trip
Very excited, Anika hugged her favorite doll tight as she followed her parents through the airport. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. When she walked down the narrow aisle(走廊、过道) of the plane to find her seat, a tall flight attendant(服务人员) smiled at her and asked where they were going.“Walt Disney World,”Anika said with a smile,“We’ll be there for a week.”
“Have a wonderful trip,”replied the flight attendant, pointing to her name tag(名签),“I'm Leanne.You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I'm Anika, and this is Pansy,”said Anika, holding the doll up to show her,“Do you fly toDisney World every day ”
Leanne shook her head.“I get to fly all over the world. It can be fun to explore new places.”
The flight was going to be a few hours. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and asked Leanne for a pillow(枕头).The flight attendant returned with a pillow, a blanket, and a sleep mask to cover her eyes. Anika tuckedPansy under the blanket with her and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived!
“Already ”yawned(打哈欠) Anika. She wasn't quite awake yet. Her parents were busily packing up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from passengers as she went.
“Now you will have lots of energy to enjoy your visit to Disney World!”She smiled to Anika.“I will see you next week on your return flight home.”
Anika was delighted to be in the new city. When her family got to the hotel, she couldn't wait to bring Pansy along to see all the amazing sights with her. She looked around, but she couldn't find her doll.
She searched through the bags and jackets, but Pansy was nowhere to be found.
Hugging Pansy tight again, Anika felt even more excited than she was on vacation last week.
