I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: "Moby Dick" on a three-day cross-country train trip； "The Magic Mountain" in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms9 and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities" on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册)，then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in Balzac, say, or uTristram Shandy. " There's always “War and Peace," which I've covered some distance several times, only to 《文海-高三-英语-模拟四》第3页(共8页)


get bogged down in the “War" part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone?s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite—once more into “The Waves" or “Justine," which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there's Stendhal?s “The Red and the Black," which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail （鸡尾酒）of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi?s theory： “I take whatever?s fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid. " The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park ? making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once ? lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids...

Sally Dawly is a woman from Auburn, California. Over the last three and a half years, the antilittering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts （烟头）from the streets of her home city.
Called the “Butt Lady" by her local community, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts.
“I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere,^ Sally Dawly said. “I'm just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I've ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day," she said, “Don't throw away your butts； better yet, stop smoking."
With so many cigarette butts littering the streets, can one person's efforts really make a difference? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be yes. Soon after the Butt Lady of Auburn started her mission and word of her efforts spread, cigarette cans started appearing around bars and restaurants in the city. Members of the local community even came out to cheer her on as she approached her one- million-butt milestone.
Sally knows her city's cigarette butt littering problem won't be solved anytime soon, but she hopes her work will inspire people to at least think twice before dropping cigarette butts in the streets. She has decided to continue cleaning up after irresponsible smokers, and already has a new milestone in her sights — two million cigarette butts.
Word of the Butt Lady's efforts to keep the streets cigarette butt-free has reached neighboring communities as well, and CBS Sacramento reports that other cities have started seeking her help as well.
28. Why does Sally Dawly carry an iPad with her while picking up the butts?
A. To entertain the crowds. B. To monitor the smokers.
C. To attract people's attention . D. To record the number of butts.
29. How did Sally Dawly feel when picking up cigarette butts?
A. Excited but upset. B. Shocked and sorry
C . Frightened but content. D . Astonished and desperate .
30. From the text. what can be inferred about Sally Dawly?
A. She picks up nearly 3,000 cigarette butts every day. B*ShewilworkinothercitiesinCaliforniainthefuture* C . She has set a new goal of picking up two million cigarette butts. D*Shepickeduponemilioncigaretebutswith membersofhercommunity* 3!. What is the text mainly about?
A. California's “Butt Lady". B. Fighting against smoking.
C*Californianshealthproblems* D SmokingproblemsinCalifornia*

It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates （灵长类动物）. Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison woul/neverhaveinvente/thelightbulb.
Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isn't competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition—the simultaneous （同时）demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources ,such as nutrients, living space, or light―better explains it.
