My mother, a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital, worked at night so that she could come home in time to send me to school. She'd sleep during the day and be ready when we returned home before heading out again in the evening. This went on for 23 years. She never complained (抱怨). No matter how tired she was, she always had enough energy to be my mom.
She often had to work on holidays, even on New Year's Eve, which made me unhappy. However, before holidays she always decorated the inside and outside of our house. She'd also have cookies baking in the oven, a holiday­themed movie in the VCR, and music playing throughout our house for us. But when it was time to go to work, there was no room for debate. "Why do you have to work on this day of all days?" I'd ask sadly. "They need me, too, dear son," she'd say.
For a long time, I didn't understand why she should care so much about those sick strangers. Recently, as my grandmother became ill, I found myself spending more time in the hospital. The scenes I saw in the hospital made me see the different side of my mother. The nurses checked the heart, blood and oxygen levels to make sure patients were comfortable. They lifted patients in and out of bed and helped them to the bathroom. Beyond their duties, the nurses showed consideration(体贴) for each patient.
What I saw helped me understand why my mother was devoted to her occupation (职业). I was filled with more appreciation for my mother.
24. Why did the author's mother work in the evening?
A. To enjoy a movie. B. To take him to school.
C. To decorate their house. D. To sleep during the day.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. The mother loved her patients more than her son.
B. Nurses are paid double salary working on holidays.
C. The author wished his mother could stay home on holidays.
D. Only people who care about patients would make good nurses.
26. When did the author really understand his mother's work?
A. When he looked after his sick grandma in hospital.
B. When he helped patients to the bathroom.
C. When he saw how tired his mother was after work.
D. When he asked his mother to stay with him during holidays.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The author's mother liked doing housework.
B. The author gained a new appreciation of his mother.
C. Nurses are particularly busy at work during holidays.
D. Children of nurses are often dissatisfied with their mothers.

A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle （交通工具）,but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2020, about 570, 000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. "There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city," Johnson told The Guardian in 2019.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it's not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government's Cycle to Work scheme （计划）allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax （税）.This means that it's common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some companies even provide showers and lockers in the workplaces for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you ride a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people's happiness.
28. How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London?
A. By using numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By using famous sayings.
29. What's Johnson's attitude towards the bike-sharing system in London?
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
30. What can workers get from the government under the Cycle to Work scheme?
A. Free bike-sharing services. B. Showers and lockers in workplaces.
C. Shorter working hours. D. Tax-free bikes.
31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Cycling, a healthy way of life
B. How cycling has become popular in London
C. Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes
D. London's public bike-sharing system

When talking about colds (感冒), maybe some people say it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset about are not only the headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take tissue (纸币) along with them.
Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.
Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.
“It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.
In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.
In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical :that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often.
32. Which can replace the underlined part “showed feelings” in Paragraph 5?
A. got sad B. were clever C. were outgoing D. got thoughtful
33. What did the study find?
A. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.
B. People with good feelings became ill more easily.
C. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.
D. People who felt happy never got ill.
34. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?
A. Sleeping. B. Eating. C. Crying. D. Laughing.
35. What is the best title for this text?
A. Causes of colds found B. Smiles can fight colds
C. The ways of preventing colds D. How people get sick
