Tim Johnson, 38, born in Alaska, had been using an old truck to explore the country until last year when he bought a better one—a 1996 Ford F350.After an unbelievable improvement, the truck can host six people, and it can hold two sofas, fridge, toilet, heating, DVD player, USB charging stations, under couch and so on. Tim said: “My truck house is perfect, it has everything I need to stay out for as long as I need.” Most of the improvement work was carried out by Tim himself, who picked up DIY skills from his dad. He added: “My Dad builds custom cabins for a living and was self-taught in all of the trades and that’s who I learned my carpentry（木工手艺）and overall DIY skills from.” He bought a classic Ford truck for just under￡10,000 because he wanted to finally create his own dream truck house. “I started improving it last year, fitted an airbag and improve the engine and turbo（涡轮增压）, it took me a couple of months to finish,” he said. To build the house on the back of the truck cost another￡10,000, pushing the overall total up to around￡20,000.1. From Paragraph 1, we know _______.A. Tim improved his old truck B.

There are so many single-use things（一次性物品）that we throw away after using only once.___①___ According to news website Quartz , we are now living in a “throw-away society”. Single-use has become a natural way of life and can be seen almost everywhere.___②___ Every day, we see new memes (表情包), stories and Internet slang (网络俚语) on social media. With so many of them coming out all the time, the lifespan (寿命) of each becomes short ---- they become “singe-use online products”.

As a result, more and more people don’t take their posts seriously.Since it doesn’t take too much time and energy to communicate anymore, we now even have disposable (用后即扔的) friendships, according to a story in Fast Company.A single-use way of life may give you quick pleasure.

Raising four kids on her own was a full time job in itself, but she also worked outside the home. Surprisingly, she always seemed to find a little bit of extra time for us despite (不管) her schedule (预定计划).She would take us over to my aunt’s in the evening when she worked as a waitress in a small diner. We would just be finished with school and have to hurry, so my mom would be on time for work. I thought she would pass us over to our aunt and hurry off as soon as we made it through the front gate, but that didn’t happen. Instead, we would sit on the porch (门廊), my mom in her waitress uniform, and we would rock in my aunt’s big wooden swing (秋千) and talk about what happened that day.“I learned how to add numbers up to the hundreds,” my sister Sandy would say.“That’s wonderful,” my mom would reply, holding her tight.“I learned how to write my name!” Larry, my younger brother, would shout.My mom would get a piece of paper and a pencil out of her purse and hand it to my brother. “Show me how you do it,” she’d ask softly.“Do you have enough time to hear what I did today?” I’d ask her.Mom would smile at me and nod. “I’m never too busy for something important like that!”She gave us the gift of time again and again throughout the years. Later on in her life, when she came to live with us after her retirement (退休), my mom gave the gift of time to my children too. They would run around excitedly, asking their grandma if she would play with them, or read them a story, or go for a walk with them. By then my mom had health problems, but she would always nod and sit down and read to them or tell them stories about when she was a little girl. Those moments were a wonderful gift that my children still talk about and treasure.In the last few years of her life, I would take her to lunch or sit with her on the porch, and we would talk about the past, the dream of the future, and just enjoy being with each other. My mom would listen as I shared all of my hopes, my fears, and my dreams for my family. I would look at her and ask her if she minded me taking up so much of her free time.“Nonsense,” she’d tell me. Then she’d give me a wink and say, “I’m never too busy to spend time with you. It’s one of the greatest joys of my life.”I will always remember those wonderful words and the loving heart behind them. It is a gift my mom give to me for which I will forever be grateful. In this busy world of ours, and in a life filled with challenges, she always had time to share her joy with me.1.
