All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: " Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!"

For several weeks, Mrs Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:" Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free."

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went

towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. "Madam," he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You're our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!"

24. The housewives learnt about the free goods.

According to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public-school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.

So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.

Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the group's success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade — in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12.

Roboff says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade — around age 13 — they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.

Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer, when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor （导师）.

“The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade, they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”

28. What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Higher Achievement works with college students.

B. Many students have doubts about the organization.

C. Higher Achievement has spread throughout the US.

D. Higher Achievement has helped many high school students.

29. If students are doing well academically in eighth grade,                     .

A. they are certain to go to college

B. they are to succeed when they grow up

C. they are more likely to finish high school on time

D. they don't need any help in their studies

30. What does the underlined word “thrive” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. become naughty B. improve themselves C. earn more money D. help others

31. The last two paragraphs tell us                                       .

A. public schools never offer positive environment

B. Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth grade .

C. how Higher Achievement helps those students

D. Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills

D

Doing business nowadays without a cellphone? Living a very private life? I can't imagine it anymore.

Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well: For the average working person, there's no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day. If we're lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends, we're overjoyed to leave work emails and the stress that comes with it in the office.

But experts say we're increasingly failing to do so, instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time. Unsurprisingly, this routine has some serious consequences.

Working abnormal or long hours has long been linked with depression（抑郁症），anxiety and even heart disease. In addition, the importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal initiative（主动性）.And further research showed psychological detachment(脱,

离）during off-work time reduced emotional exhaustion caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged.

So, if we know all this, it begs the question: Why are we still letting work bother our precious weekend? According to Cary. Cooper, professor of Organizational School, the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.

Today, says Cooper, work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away. "You don't carry your laptop around when you're out to dinner, but you do carry your mobile phone,“ he says. “The smartphone does not make up for what is lost." So delete your work email account from your inbox（收件箱），and leave the worries until Monday.

32. What did Chris Stokel-Walker try to stress?

A. The development of office work. B. The importance of working hard.

C. The pleasure of completing work. D. The power of modem technology.

33. What does the underlined part “this routine" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Using a cellphone. B. Working in personal time.

C. Failing to work long hours. D. Leaving work emails behind.

34. What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours?

A. It isn't boring. B. It isn't interesting. C. It isn't common. D. It isn't worth.

35. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Can we live without a cellphone? B. What should we do on weekends?

C. Should we ban weekend work emails? D. Who should be blamed for work overload?

5 Reasons Change Is Good for You

We all know that change is hard because your brain is used to doing the same thing again and again. 36_But the positive consequence is really great. Here are five reasons why change is good for you:

37

Life in the comfort zone is easy. You simply follow a routine and you can predict the results. Outside of the comfort zone, your assumptions are questioned. The idea of doing the same thing over and over without question is discouraged.

You get to experience more.

38 When you look back on your life, all of the really amazing things are because of a new experience you had. All of those vacations you took and all of the people you have met have taught you more than you ever learned in school. These experiences now make up who you are today.

You'll be more flexible and adaptable.

Without doubt, change makes you more flexible and adaptable. You learn to deal with things in a way that seems foreign but acceptable and achievable. 39 You begin to thrive（茁壮成长）in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but FLOURISH.

You have more fun.

When you are open to change, you are open to saying YES to more. You are open to more experiences and opportunities. 40 When you add all of these things together, you are going to have a more colorful life and you'll have a ton of fun figuring it all out along the way - there's no doubt about it.

A. You are pushed out of your comfort zone.

B. Experience is waiting for you at the doorstep.

C. You have the opportunity to meet more people too.

D. Whether the change is good or bad for you, it does happen.

E. We also know how challenging it can be to go through change.

F. Then, you'll be more confident when in the next uncomfortable situation.

G. Change is good because you have the chance to involve in new experiences.
