It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to take a peek at the gifts under the tree.

My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister's curiosity was satisfied, we traded places.

After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside.

"Cool! Mom and Dad got me head phones for my stereo!" I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, "Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom's coming!"

I put the headphones back hurriedly in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, "Hi, Mom!" She smiled at me and said"Hi"back, but didn’t appear to suspect a thing. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath.On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents-again. "Headphones!"I shouted. "Thanks, it's just what I wanted." After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn't feel the same.

My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again I don't know if a was the opening our gifts for the second time just wasn't as much fun as the firs time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn't want to think about what our mother would have done to us.

Do you go to the gym to strengthen your body? Well, you may be missing out on training some vital muscles-the ones involved in breathing. New research shows that training these muscles each day can reduce high blood pressure and promote heart health.

"The muscles we use to breathe atrophy, just like the rest of our muscles, as we get older,"explains Daniel Craighead, a physiologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. To test what happens when these muscles are given a good workout, he and his colleagues enlisted healthy volunteers aged18 to 82 to try a daily five-minute technique using a resistance-breathing training device called PowerBreathe. The device forces the patient to use their breathing muscles to push and pull air through it, making them stronger.

"We found that doing 30 breaths per day for six weeks lowers blood pressure by about 9mmHg(毫米汞柱), Craighead says. And those reductions are about what could be expected with traditional exercise, he says-such as walking, running or cycling. The impact of a sustained 9mm Hg reduction is significant, says Michael Joyner, a physician at the Mayo Clinic who studies how the nervous system regulates blood pressure."That's the type of redaction you see with a blood pressure drug" Joyner says. Research has shown many common blood pressure medicines lead to about a 9 mmHg reduction. The reductions are higher when people combine multiple(多种的)medicines, but a 10 mmHg reduction relates to a 35% drop in the risk of stroke and a 25% drop in the risk of heart disease.

"I think it's promising."Joyner says about the prospects of integrating strength training for the muscles used to breathe into preventive care. It could be beneficial for people who are unable to do traditional exercise, he says, and the simplicity is appealing, too, given people can easily use the device at home. However, the technique is not intended to replace exercise, he cautions, or to replace medication for people whose blood pressure is so high that they’re at high risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Instead, Craighead says, "it would be a good additive intervention(干预） for people who are doing other healthy lifestyle approaches already."

28. What does the underlined word "atrophy" mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Run easily.

B. Age gradually.

C. Calmed slightly.

D. Relax frequently.

29. Which is ineffective to a 9 mmHg reduction on blood pressure?

A. Multiple medicines.

B. Breathing training.

C. Blood pressure devices.

D. Traditional exercise.

30. What’s Joyner’s attitude to the prospects of training the muscles used to breathe?

A. Objective.

B. Negative.

D. Supportive.

C. Indifferent.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Relationship Between Training and Heart Health

B. The Potential Integration of Training and Medicines

C. Medicines Work in Controlling High Blood Pressure

D. Breath Training Helps to Lower High Blood Pressure

D

If you have a high temperature or are recovering from a surgery, it is difficult to be fully focused at work. Sick days are meant to prevent people from hurting themselves, their co-workers, or customers on the job. However, working from home has changed this logic.

The work-from-home revolution has raised the bar for what counts as being sick. At the height of the pandemic, people worked from home even with some serious symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath or sickness. Many still have to.

Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University has been tracking work-from-home habits since before the Covid-19 popularized them. In a recent working paper, he presents the results of a randomized controlled trial at a large multinational company, where sick days fell by 12% for employees working from home compared to those coming in full time.

To be in bed not doing anything means discomfort both physically and mentally. Salaried workers,who are often evaluated on the basis of their attendance, find it hard to call in sick for a few days now that they don’t need to worry about spreading germs in the office. For high-achievers, putting in the hours is not a chore but a way of life. As the economic recession(萧条) puts future job security into question, showing yourself to be useful becomes even more important.

Though all this is understandable, it is also troubling. Being even mildly sick can impair brain function. It is difficult to exercise proper judgment if one cannot focus on the task at hand. It is why people with lower oxygen concentration sometimes remove protective clothes atop Mount Everest some freeze to death. Firing off emails while feeling dizzy will put the body under further stress.

Soldiering on (硬挺) may make the employee both sicker and less productive for longer. Digital presenteeism(超时工作),for that is what such persisting amounts to,is in no one's interest.

32. How has the work-from-home revolution affected employees?

A. It has popularized relevant studies.

B. It has made it harder to ask for sick leave.

C. It has improved their well-being and health.

D. It has heightened their enthusiasm for work.

33. What can we learn from the study of Nicholas Bloom?

A. Those who work full time tend to get more sick leave.

B. The Covid-19 has popularized work-from-home habits.

C. Whether to take a sick or not is a random choice for you.

D. Work-from-home habits mostly happen in big companies.

34. What might be the biggest concern for the salaried workers on a medical leave?

A. Feeling uncomfortable in bed.

B. Bringing germs to their office.

C. Endangering their current jobs.

D. Failing to be the high-achievers.

35. What will the author probably talk about next?

A. The importance of staying healthy.

B. The future of flexible working habit.

C. The benefits of working from home.

D. The proper attitude to taking a sick leave.

The question was on my  47  about something for years, and for years I told myself answers,but never with complete  48  We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from the experiences of his  49  almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.

These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens. But these are not  50  the reasons why I read Dickens. My search for an answer  51  until one day a text message came from a student of mine." We still read Dickens' novels," she wrote," because they tell us why we are what we are."  52  as it was, that's the explanation I had  53  for years.

Dickens shines a  54  on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. That's why we still need to read him today. If you have time, go to 55 one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is Qixi, widely  56  (regard) as China Valentine's Day. But do you know the origin of this  57  (romance) festival?

The story goes that the Weaver Girl  58  (fall) in love with a cowherd. The Jade Emperor was strongly against the couple's union and then separated them by the Milky Way, leaving them tom apart by the galaxy and only allowing them  59  (meet) once a year.

 60  that, the distance could not stop their love for one another and they looked forward to meeting once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

However, with the development of high speed railways, the tragedy of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could not happen in modern China. A ride between Beijing and Shanghai on the high-speed rail only takes four hours. The  61  (efficient) of modern travel has shortened the"galactic distance" between couples.

On Qixi, more and more young people are going on dates and exchanging gifts to express their affection,  62  are quite impressive. Love is in  63  air at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau(民政局), and long queues  64  (form) when couples rush to register for marriage. This is because Qixi carries  65  (it) a symbolic meaning: choose your own love and remain faithful for life.

One particular Thanksgiving, the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on our front lawn. Dad built a long table, and Mom and I rounded up every chair in the house. I did the place settings and made the centerpiece- my favorite job of the year.

My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon. I watched him walk from the street up the lawn, tall with his blond hair shining in the sun. Another car had pulled up behind them, and Uncle Gordon waited for a slim man to join him. As they walked, he and Gordon chatted. Mom came out of the house and greeted my aunt. Then, with a surprised look, she said hello to Gordon and his friend.

" Who's this?"

Gordon smiled and told us the man"s name."A Canuck(法商加拿大人）from Toronto,like me."

"Oh." Mom said uncertainly."Well. welcome. Leslic, get another place setting and a chair." She turned to the stranger."Please have a seat.We're going to cat in about half an hour."I thought the man looked a little funny, but he smiled. "Why, thanks. Thanks a lot."I did as Mom asked and vet a place at the table for the stranger. I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall home.

And they did a lot of talking.

After dinner, the man approached my mother with a smile. "Thank you for including me in your Thanksgiving dinner, Joyce. It wasn't something I was expecting" Mom frowned, a little confused.

"Of course,"she said."We're glad you could be here.Do you have Thanksgiving in Canada?""Ours is in October. We have turkey, though, just like you." He smiled. "But this is one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had. I guess Americans and Canadians aren’t that different, eh?" Then again,he said,"But I never expected this."

"Gordon's friend seems nice," Mom said to my aunt when we were alone in the kitchen.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

" Gordon's friend?" my aunt said." He's not Gordon's friend. We don't know him."

" I was, actually, lost in the neighborhood," replied the stranger.
