Quality time with my dad

When I tell people I wrote a book with my dad，they usually say， "It must be nice to think of the legacy （遗产） you created with someone who means so much to you."
    This was a beautiful idea，but it was not the way I，or my dad，ever thought about the cooperation.Though we created something we're proud of， "nice" is not the word either of us uses to describe the process.
    "It was more confrontation（对抗） than cooperation，" my dad likes to say.I agree.When we landed a book deal，we began a writing journey that was more difficult than either of us had expected，but also far more rewarding.
    For almost three years.we met once or twice a week at my parents*house and talked daily to plan and outline each chapter.After these meetings，one of us would write a rough draft that the other would build on.I wanted the book to focus on positive vices （不良习惯）：such as moderate （适度的） chocolate.However，my dad felt the book should include chapters dealing with things like walking and spending time with family.Eventually，I saw it his way.He said the book was about more than just good vices.It was about encouraging people to enjoy life in healthy ways.
    Writing this book was a reminder that our family members share not only our faults but also our strengths.My dad is smart，funny，critical and caring.He has a strong passion for the truth.I hope I share these great qualities.For this book，he researched each topic with an enthusiasm I'd never seen from him，and he insisted that we constantly question and critically analyze every piece of information- even our own conclusions.He was determined to cooperate on a book，not because he couldn't write one on his own，but because he believed that we could create than we something better together than we could alone.
    I'm not sure if our cooperation led to better writing，but it led to a better writing experience.Writing this book was difficult，sometimes more difficult than past projects，but it was never lonely.
21.How would the author describe the writing process according to the first 3 paragraphs？

A. Nice. B. Relaxing. C. Struggling D. Disappointing.

22.What can we learn about the author's father？

A. He likes to get to the bottom of things.
B. He likes to criticize others' works.
C. He lacks confidence in himself.
D. He is not good at writing

23.What did the author learn from the cooperation with his father？

A. Cooperation leads to a better product.
B. It's important to make a plan before work.
C. Communicate more when there is an argument.
D. It's worthwhile to work with someone close to you.

B

Interviewing is one of those skills that you can only get better at.You will never again feel so ill at ease as when you try it for the first time，you'll probably never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he or she may be too shy to .But at least half of the skill is mechanical.The rest is instinct（天赋），which can all be learned with experience.
    The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils.But keep your notebook or paper out of sight until you need it.There's nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad．Both of you need time to get to know each other.Take a while just to chat，judging what sort of person you're dealing with，getting him or her to trust you.
    Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can.If you are interviewing a town official，know his voting record．If it's an actor，know what plays he has been in.You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.
    Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions and have no right to inquire about his personal secrets.The fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary.Unless the person really hates being interviewed，he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him.
    Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting，and they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.
    This doesn't necessarily mean that it will go well.In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before，and they will get used to the process（程序）awkwardly（笨拙地），perhaps not giving you anything that you can use.Come back another day；it will go better.You will both even begin to enjoy it—proof that you aren't forcing your victim to do something he doesn't really want to.

24.The word "reveal" could best be replaced by

A. ask B. look C. give D. question

25.According to the passage，during an interview notebooks or paper should.

A. never be used B. be used only when necessary
C. be kept at home D. be given to the interviewer

26.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that most men and women.

A. like being interviewed B. fear to speak to outsiders
C. hate being interviewed D. are afraid to meet interviewers

27.According to the passage，if a person being interviewed is too uneasy to give you anything useful，what should you do？

A. Give him or her a bad score. B. Arrange another interview.
C. Wait until he or she calms down. D. Try to make him or her trust you.

C

Thousands of brave souls have adventured into the Rocky Mountains for the past decade，searching for a treasure box filled with gold，diamonds and other valuables.But that adventure has finally come to an end.The treasure has been found.Forrest Fenn，the 89-year-old art and antique collector who created the treasure hunt，made the announcement Sunday on his website.
    "It was in the thick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago，" Fenn wrote in his announcement. "I do not know the person who found it，but the poem in my book led him to the exact spot." The treasure was found a few days ago by a man who did not want to be named.The man was from "back East".He acknowledged his discovery by sending Fenn a photograph of his newfound riches.
    The treasure，worth over million，was a way for Fenn to encourage people to explore nature and give hope to people affected by the Great Recession.Clues leading to the treasure's location were included in a 24-line poem published in Fenn's 2010 autobiography "The Thrill of the Chase." It is estimated that as many as 350，000 people from all over the world went hunting for the treasure.Some quit their jobs to fully devote their lives to the hunt and some even died.
    "I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries，" Fenn said on his website.

28.What did the man want to do by sending a photograph to Fenn？ ______

A. Claim the reward. B.Convey great thanks.
C. Confirm the discovery. D. Make name for himself.

29.Where were the clues to the hidden treasure？ ______

A. In the forest. B. In a literary work.
C. In an announcement. D. In the Rocky Mountains.

30.Why was the treasure hunt created？ ______

A. To make a bet. B. To offer job opportunities.
C. To make donations. D. To inspire exploration and hope.

31.What's Fenn's advice to the treasure hunters？ ______

A. Returning to their work. B. Abandoning their search.
C. Sticking to their dreams. D. Keeping their promise.

D

Technically，many of the healthy foods we eat are processed，but not in the way you might think.For example，if you have a Mason jar full of organic dried beans，you have processed food in your fridge.Frozen vegetables are processed，even if you picked the vegetables from your garden，blanched（焯水）them and put them in the fridge.The moment you blanched them，you processed them.When we say we shouldn't eat processed foods，what we really mean is ultra-processed foods.
    What are ultra-processed foods？If I made flatbread at home，I would make it with materials like flour，yeast，milk，butter and salt.I keep whole-grain flatbread in my freezer because it quickly.Healthy meals for sure.But I normally buy them from the grocery store，and while the bread I buy contains almost the same materials as a homemade version，it also includes the dextrose，type of sugar，and some other additives.Then it can be called an ultra-processed one.
    If we ate ultra-processed foods only occasionally，it wouldn't be as big of a problem.However，researchers indicated that almost 58% of the calories Americans consume are from ultra-processed foods.A study found people who increased their daily intake of ultra- processed food by 10% increased their risk of developing overall cancer by 12% and breast cancer by 11%.
    While the study didn't identify the exact reason why ultra-processed foods cause a higher risk of cancer，researchers did have several theories.One theory is that the foods contain high levels of salt，sugar and fat.Those materials have been linked to overweight，which can also lead to a greater risk of cancer.A second theory is that some ultra-processed foods contain certain additives that lead to cancers.Also another theory is high temperatures used to process the food can create newly formed pollutant.Finally，bpa （Bisphenol A）（双酚 A） is commonly used in food packaging and can leak into the food.
    While further studies are needed to know the exact reasons why ultra-processed foods can have such an impact on health，it's safe to say that the consequences of eating them outweigh the benefits.

32.Which of the following is an ultra-processed food？

A. Organic dried beans. B. Frozen vegetables.
C. Flatbread from stores. D. Homemade flatbread.

33.What does the underlined word "deteriorates" in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Breaks out. B. Goes bad. C. Gets round. D. Runs out.

34.What can we learn from Paragraph 4？

A. All the additives in the food can cause deadly diseases.
B. Food package will not be a constant matter of concern for us.
C. Reasons for cancers caused by ultra-processed foods are definite.
D. Too much sugar，salt，and fat contribute to overweight，and even cancers.

35.What's the author's attitude to the ultra-processed food？

A. Disapproving. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.

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。Master Your Deadlines

The struggle begins in high school, sometimes earlier. Deadlines, and lots of them, start to pile up. At college, the pressure sometimes leads to last-minute rush and unsatisfactory work. At work, failing to meet deadlines can easily get you fired.      (36)      Here are a few best practices.

▪Assign deadlines to what matters.

If the task isn’t of high importance, don’t set a specific deadline. In this way, you are able to keep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured. (37)          This will provide just enough pressure to ensure you get it done.

▪  (38)         

Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline.      (39)     If you’re working with a group of people, add in even more time to account for potential follow-ups and the need for approvals.

▪ Keep communicating.

     (40)      This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected, when a delivery didn’t come in, when a client is not providing the necessary information, etc. Although it may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule, being honest is much better for relieving your stress.

A. Plan for flexible hours.

B. Finish your project as early as possible.

C. But if an activity is urgent, set a deadline immediately.

D. In this way, you’ll never have to stay up late and feel stressed.

E. But handled properly, deadlines can actually improve productivity.

F. Whenever you feel challenged to finish work on time, communicate.

G. So if anything takes longer than expected, you can still wrap it up and submit it on time.

As I began to wade through thirteen pages of the credit-card company's new policy，I wasn't sure how it was going to affect me personally.As I waited to be connected to a customer service rep，I considered whether I should even write the fifth novel in my Old Cape House series.Did my readers really enjoy the mysterious historical stories I told？Should I take on more debt to buy my paperback books？I thought about all the author events，book signings，and book fairs that might be canceled because of the virus.When would normal life return？
    "Hello，Ms.Struna，this is Thomas.May I have your account information？"
    After repeating the information he needed，I explained my dilemma in trying to understand the new policy and asked how it would affect my future purchases.
    "Please，do not worry.You will have no change."
    "Are you sure？I am an author and travel frequently.I need to have access to my card at all times for big or small purchases." I laughed to myself，thinking I wasn't going anywhere for a while，at least until there was a vaccine.
    "Let me reassure you.There will be no change to your card，but Ms.Struna，may I ask you one more question？Are you the author of The Old Cape House？"
    My jaw dropped.He was talking about my first novel of suspenseful historical fiction，The Old Cape House，published in 2013.I was stunned and I stammered， "Why，yes I am." I was still skeptical about what he wanted from me.
    Thomas kept talking. "I thought it was you.I recognized your name，and when you told me you were an author，I knew it was you."
    "Oh，my goodness." My heart started to beat faster with delight at the connection I was making with an unknown foreign reader.
    "Ms.Struna，your book changed me.It changed how I look at the world.It showed me ways to be more adventuresome and to be open to new things.Thank you so very much."

Most Popular Types of Exercise Among Chinese

According to the surveynearly 37 percent of the people chose fast walking as their favorite exercise while more than 23 percent selected running and more than 14 percent picked cycling.The rest preferred bodybuilding，dancing and other types of exercise.

One reason why fast walking tops popular exercise list is that fast walking is an easily accessible way with low cost.Besidesthe health-conscious Chinese tend to do exercise outdoors in nature rather than being stuck in gyms or fitness facilities.

    As for me，I also have a preference for this exercise，which makes me feel relaxed and energetic.However，it turns out that no matter which type we enjoy，the more active we are，the more benefits we will get.

作文2：

Paragraph 1:

I was stunned at the idea that I had made a difference in someone's life.I wanted to talk more，but I knew Thomas might get into trouble if he stayed on too long talking about things other than credit-card policy.Holding back a mixture of amazement and excitement，I answered， "Well，Thomas，it's been a pleasure speaking with you.I hope you'll find the other books in the series so that you can enjoy the continuous  adventures of my curious character." "I most certainly will.I'm expecting to read more，" confirmed Thomas.

Paragraph 2：

I hung up ending this coincidental connection to a fan reader in a faraway place.Feelings of pride sprouted inside me，knowing I had made someone happy with my tales.I calmed down and had an opportunity to collect my thoughts.Meeting Thomas had served me well and led me to feeling inspired enough to devote the next few years to writing The Old Cape House series.In my heart，I knew the search for fulfillment and purpose was universal.And if I could have a positive impact on someone with my novels，I was content.
