And don’t miss the smoked fish, which pairs perfectly with the wines.
Fischio
Next to an old funfair, Fischio is a laid-back bar which serves some of the best coffee in Rome. It’s a favorite place for locals, offering a mix of a café and a neighborhood hangout. Spend the afternoon over a cup of coffee. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the Roman life.

Yash Patel was fluent in four languages: English, Hindi, Gujarat, and American Sign Language. However, he believed a fifth should be added to the list: accounting (会计). “Accounting is the language of business,” Patel said. “If you want to do business, you need to know that language, or work with someone who does.”
Patel is about to graduate from the University of South Florida (USF) with a degree in accounting. His journey into accounting began nearly ten years ago when he first recognized the importance of understanding accounting.
Patel’s grandmother owns the Diana Motel in Clearwater. In 2015, struggling to make sense of her tax forms, she turned to Patel for help. “I didn’t understand it, either,” he recalled. “My family owns a business, so I figured I should learn about accounting.”
He then got a degree in accounting from St. Petersburg College. In 2023 he managed to study accounts at USF. To pay for his living costs at USF, Patel started his own business. Using a small business loan (贷款), he bought five second-hand vending machines. He placed two in a private school and three in motels, one of which was owned by his family. After his first year at USF, he sold the business because he didn’t have enough time to manage it.
Soon after, Patel joined Beta AlphaPsi, a professional organization for financial students, which helped him land internships (实习). He remembered his first career fair at USF, where he showed up in jeans and trainers. “The companies didn’t talk to me because I didn’t look professional,” he said. With the help of Beta AlphaPsi, Patel learned how to dress and present himself, which led to internships at Cherry Bekaert and Deloitte.
Looking ahead, Patel plans to complete a Master’s degree in accounting at USF and work in public accounting.
4. What can we learn about Patel from the first paragraph
A. He has a real feel for languages. B. He can speak five languages.
C. He works as a translator in India. D. He teaches accounting at USF.
5. What made Patel decide to study accounting at first
A. His interest in banking. B. His family’s business.
C. His wish to run a hotel. D. His parents’ expectations.
6 Why did Patel start his own business
A. To repay his student loan. B. To send money to his grandma.
C To support himself at college. D. To apply what he learned to life.
7. How did Beta Alpha Psi affect Patel
A. He got a Master’s degree. B. He set up a national organization.
C. He found a well-paid job. D. He gave more thought to his looks.
C
Making exercise fun is a challenge for many people who struggle to find the motivation (动机) to work out. But rather than forcing yourself to enjoy running or that gym class you once attended, the solution may lie in something more straightforward — simply choosing exercises that fit your personality, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
To reach their findings, the study’s co-lead author, Flaminia Ronca, a professor in exercise science at University College London, and her coworkers first directed the 132 subjects, aged between 25 and 51 years old, to complete a questionnaire showing their personality types.
The study took a commonly used model that describes someone’s personality, namely outgoing people, quiet worriers, kind helpers, curious explorers, and careful planners. The researchers then ran fitness tests on the subjects and put them into two groups. One group was given an eight-week biking plan, while the control group did 10 minutes a week of stretching (伸展) exercises. Of the 132 subjects, 86 completed both pre-and post-testing either side of these eight weeks.
The study team found that, although fitness improved across all personality types for those who completed the biking and stretching programs, there was a marked difference in enjoyment of exercise. Outgoing people enjoyed the higher-intensity (强度) lab fitness tests, while quiet worriers enjoyed the home-based light-intensity workouts.
The study also showed how exercise affected people’s stress levels based on their personality. People who scored high in neuroticism, meaning they feel more anxious, experienced a bigger drop in stress levels compared with other groups.
“I think that’s quite a powerful message to give,” Ronca said. Considering the many benefits of exercise, she hoped their findings would encourage people to find forms of exercise they enjoy, making it easier to stick to a fitness routine and to improve their fitness over time.
8. In what way were the two groups different in terms of research design
A. Their age. B. Their hobby. C. Exercise type. D. Health condition.
9. What did the study find about personality
A. It drives people to achieve dreams. B. It affects the enjoyment of exercise.
C. It shows similarities in certain ways. D. It helps us complete more exercises.
10. What does Ronca intend to explain in the last paragraph
A. The application of the findings. B. The background of the experiment.
C. The direction of further research. D. The arrangement for daily exercise.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Influence of Exercise on Personality B. The Benefits of the Stretching Program
C. Giving You New Motivation to Exercise D. Matching Workouts to Your Personality
D
Many parents have experienced moments when their child’s behavior makes them feel annoyed and helpless. However, new research suggests that a different solution works better.
A recent study from King’s College London found that responding (回应) to a child’s behavior with warmth and praise can not only improve their behavior but also change how their brain works. The research shows that parenting programs, which focus on positive (积极的) behavior, can lead to real changes in brain activity in children with behavioral problems.
Researchers studied 78 boys with behavioral problems, aged 5 to 10. These boys, along with a control group of 35 other children, completed a reward (奖励) -learning task while having a brain scan. At the beginning, the boys showed less brain activity in the insula, a part of the brain responsible for expecting rewards, compared to other children.
The families of these boys with behavioral problems then attended a 10-12-week parenting program aimed at encouraging warm parenting. After completing the program, the boys were tested again.
The results were striking. Most of the boys showed more brain activity in the insula and other areas responsible for decision-making and learning. They were called “improvers”. The study also found that the parenting program changed how the boys with improved behavior learned from their experiences. They were able to make better decisions and became slower to change their expectations after a good or bad experience. They also became more practical and more aware of the difference between rewards and punishments.
This research highlights the strong influence of positive parenting on children’s behavior and brain development, showing that warmth and patience can create long-term changes in both behavior and the brain.
12. What are the families of the boys with behavioral problems asked to do in the study
A. Perform warm parenting. B. Go for a medical check-up.
C. Give rewards to researchers. D. Clean up the lab every day.
13. What does the underlined word “striking” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Endless. B. Different. C. Noticeable. D. Alarming.
14. Which is a change that happened to the “improvers”
A. They learned to work hard at school. B. They left a bad impression on the scientists.
C. They managed to keep their promise. D. They could make well-considered choices.
15. What can be inferred about positive parenting according to the research
A. It offers a hopeful message to doctors. B. It is a challenging task for every family.
C. It requires teachers to act as a role model. D. It produces a lasting influence on children.

When I was a kid, Saturday was always my favorite day of the week. That day, I would go to the park with my father. We would walk hand in hand, talk about everything from school to friends, and share ice cream. It wasn’t just about the activities, though—it was the time we spent together that meant the most to me. Those Saturdays made me feel special, as if nothing else mattered but the moments we shared.
However, as the years went by, my father spent more and more of his time on work. Meetings, deadlines, and reports filled his days. At first, he would say sorry and promise to make it up to me the following weekend. But then, it happened more and more often—our Saturday outings were canceled, and they finally stopped altogether. I remember sitting by the window, and watching the clock tick by, hoping he would come home on time, but more often than not, he was late and too tired to even speak.
Weeks passed, and nothing changed. I could feel the gap growing between us. I wanted to understand, but part of me couldn’t help giving up. That was when I made a decision—I would go to my father’s office. I had never done that before, but I longed to talk to him and see for myself how his work was going. I needed to know if he even remembered the promise he made to me.
When I arrived at his office, I saw him lost in paperwork. The office was a mess, and the usual signs of stress were written all over his face. He didn’t even look up as I entered, but I stepped forward and gently tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped in surprise, his face lighting up when he saw me. “What are you doing here ” he asked, his voice softer than usual.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Dad, remember the promise you made ” I said.

Looking ahead, Patel plans to complete a Master’s degree in accounting at USF and work in public accounting.

Making exercise fun is a challenge for many people who struggle to find the motivation (动机) to work out. But rather than forcing yourself to enjoy running or that gym class you once attended, the solution may lie in something more straightforward — simply choosing exercises that fit your personality, according to a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
To reach their findings, the study’s co-lead author, Flaminia Ronca, a professor in exercise science at University College London, and her coworkers first directed the 132 subjects, aged between 25 and 51 years old, to complete a questionnaire showing their personality types.
The study took a commonly used model that describes someone’s personality, namely outgoing people, quiet worriers, kind helpers, curious explorers, and careful planners. The researchers then ran fitness tests on the subjects and put them into two groups. One group was given an eight-week biking plan, while the control group did 10 minutes a week of stretching (伸展) exercises. Of the 132 subjects, 86 completed both pre-and post-testing either side of these eight weeks.
The study team found that, although fitness improved across all personality types for those who completed the biking and stretching programs, there was a marked difference in enjoyment of exercise. Outgoing people enjoyed the higher-intensity (强度) lab fitness tests, while quiet worriers enjoyed the home-based light-intensity workouts.
The study also showed how exercise affected people’s stress levels based on their personality. People who scored high in neuroticism, meaning they feel more anxious, experienced a bigger drop in stress levels compared with other groups.
“I think that’s quite a powerful message to give,” Ronca said. Considering the many benefits of exercise, she hoped their findings would encourage people to find forms of exercise they enjoy, making it easier to stick to a fitness routine and to improve their fitness over time.
8. In what way were the two groups different in terms of research design
A. Their age. B. Their hobby. C. Exercise type. D. Health condition.
9. What did the study find about personality
A. It drives people to achieve dreams. B. It affects the enjoyment of exercise.
C. It shows similarities in certain ways. D. It helps us complete more exercises.
10. What does Ronca intend to explain in the last paragraph
A. The application of the findings. B. The background of the experiment.
C. The direction of further research. D. The arrangement for daily exercise.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Influence of Exercise on Personality B. The Benefits of the Stretching Program
C. Giving You New Motivation to Exercise D. Matching Workouts to Your Personality
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
D
Many parents have experienced moments when their child’s behavior makes them feel annoyed and helpless. However, new research suggests that a different solution works better.
A recent study from King’s College London found that responding (回应) to a child’s behavior with warmth and praise can not only improve their behavior but also change how their brain works. The research shows that parenting programs, which focus on positive (积极的) behavior, can lead to real changes in brain activity in children with behavioral problems.
Researchers studied 78 boys with behavioral problems, aged 5 to 10. These boys, along with a control group of 35 other children, completed a reward (奖励) -learning task while having a brain scan. At the beginning, the boys showed less brain activity in the insula, a part of the brain responsible for expecting rewards, compared to other children.
The families of these boys with behavioral problems then attended a 10-12-week parenting program aimed at encouraging warm parenting. After completing the program, the boys were tested again.
The results were striking. Most of the boys showed more brain activity in the insula and other areas responsible for decision-making and learning. They were called “improvers”. The study also found that the parenting program changed how the boys with improved behavior learned from their experiences. They were able to make better decisions and became slower to change their expectations after a good or bad experience. They also became more practical and more aware of the difference between rewards and punishments.
This research highlights the strong influence of positive parenting on children’s behavior and brain development, showing that warmth and patience can create long-term changes in both behavior and the brain.
12. What are the families of the boys with behavioral problems asked to do in the study
A. Perform warm parenting. B. Go for a medical check-up.
C. Give rewards to researchers. D. Clean up the lab every day.
13. What does the underlined word “striking” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Endless. B. Different. C. Noticeable. D. Alarming.
14. Which is a change that happened to the “improvers”
A. They learned to work hard at school. B. They left a bad impression on the scientists.
C. They managed to keep their promise. D. They could make well-considered choices.
15. What can be inferred about positive parenting according to the research
A. It offers a hopeful message to doctors. B. It is a challenging task for every family.
C. It requires teachers to act as a role model. D. It produces a lasting influence on children.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a kid, Saturday was always my favorite day of the week. That day, I would go to the park with my father. We would walk hand in hand, talk about everything from school to friends, and share ice cream. It wasn’t just about the activities, though—it was the time we spent together that meant the most to me. Those Saturdays made me feel special, as if nothing else mattered but the moments we shared.
However, as the years went by, my father spent more and more of his time on work. Meetings, deadlines, and reports filled his days. At first, he would say sorry and promise to make it up to me the following weekend. But then, it happened more and more often—our Saturday outings were canceled, and they finally stopped altogether. I remember sitting by the window, and watching the clock tick by, hoping he would come home on time, but more often than not, he was late and too tired to even speak.
Weeks passed, and nothing changed. I could feel the gap growing between us. I wanted to understand, but part of me couldn’t help giving up. That was when I made a decision—I would go to my father’s office. I had never done that before, but I longed to talk to him and see for myself how his work was going. I needed to know if he even remembered the promise he made to me.
When I arrived at his office, I saw him lost in paperwork. The office was a mess, and the usual signs of stress were written all over his face. He didn’t even look up as I entered, but I stepped forward and gently tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped in surprise, his face lighting up when he saw me. “What are you doing here ” he asked, his voice softer than usual.

“Dad, remember the promise you made ” I said.

True to his word, my father took me to the park the next day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Dad, remember the promise you made ” I said. For the first time in a long while, he looked at me. There was a pause, and then he spoke, his voice trembling. “I’m so sorry. I’ve been so caught up with work that I’ve forgotten what really matters.” His eyes were filled with guilt. I felt relieved, knowing he wasn’t ignoring me on purpose. “It’s OK, Dad,” I said with a small smile. “What about tomorrow We can go then.” His face brightened, and he nodded. “Tomorrow, I promise. Let’s go to the park.”
True to his word, my father took me to the park the next day. We spent the whole afternoon together, just like we used to when I was young. We talked about everything, laughed at old memories, and tasted ice cream as the sun began to set. It was simple, yet so special. At that moment, I realized how overwhelming life can get, but what really matters is keeping promises, especially to those you love. It wasn’t about the park or the ice cream—it was about the time we spent together, reminding ourselves of what’s truly important in life.
