"Obligated wrkers" refer t peple with dependents and the sandwich generatin (34) raising children with caring fr elderly parents. Therefre, they value a career (35) t life stages and events and financial security. Jcl Defries, 33, father f ne kid and partner at Lndn Vdka said,

fr any signs f a cming strm. Despite learning frm the weather frecast the likelihd f a vilent strm, he didn’t change his mind abut starting his weekly fishing trip. After checking fr the third time that he had brught with him what he needed, Simn gt nt his bat and sailed int the vast blue sea.
Befre lng. he was anchring(固定) his bat in the middle f the sea. Satisfied
with the spt, he cast his net, hping fr a gd catch.
Simn then relaxed n the deck and watched the sun rising slwly abve the hrizn. “One can never trust the weather statin,” he said, but he had said it t sn. At that mment, there was a sudden strike f lightning, fllwed by a shut f thunder. The entire sky was suddenly filled with dark cluds. Wave after wave rlled up, hitting his bat and sending it rcking vilently sideways. A sense f hpelessness drwned him but when images f his family flashed acrss his mind, he knew what he had t d. In duble-quick time, he cut ff the fishing lines and dumped his fishing equipment int the sea. Eventually, the strm eased and the waves died dwn.
T make matters wrse, the bat engine died. As he was many kilmeters ffshre, the nly likely rescue was t be sptted by a bat. But wh wuld be ut at sea in such hrrible weather except him? That made Simn regret his earlier decisin again.
Exhausted, Simn sn drifted ff t sleep. When he awke, the sun had already risen. Simn had lst track f time and lcatin. Sighing, he std n the deck, staring ut hpefully. Then he sptted it. He dived int the water and swam twards the island a few meters ahead f him. When Simn reached land, he was t weak t stand n his legs. Frtunately, a kind-hearted man helped him up and cntacted his family. Thugh Simn emerged frm the nightmare unhurt, the fateful day remained frever in his mind. Neglecting the weather frecast, he paid a heavy price. He then learnt that everyne shuld respect science and be mre mindful f his decisin.

(B)
Read the text belw. Is yur supermarket plan similar t this?
Fruit and vegetables are nrmally clse t the entrance. This makes peple think they are ging int an pen-air market and makes them feel psitive.
Stres are usually decrated in clrs that make peple feel healthy and happy. All the supermarkets belnging t ne cmpany have the same clrs t make peple feel at hme.
A persn blinks(眨眼) an average f 32 times a minute. US research has shwn that a certain type f lighting can reduce this t 14 times a minute. This can make custmers feel sleepy, and they then
buy mre gds.
Gds placed at the end f an aisle (走廊) ften sell five times mre than thse placed in the middle f the aisle. Stres ften mve gds that they particularly want t sell, such as thse nearing their sell-by date, t these sites.
Mst shppers buy bread, s the bakery cunter is situated as far away frm the entrance as pssible. Custmers will have t walk past hundreds f ther prducts t reach it.
Drinks are usually lcated near the exit. Supermarkets hpe that custmers will buy because they are in a gd md as they finish their shpping experience.
Silence makes shppers feel uncmfrtable. Supermarkets like t make sure that there is quite a lt f pleasant backgrund nise.
Security cameras are nt just fr catching shplifters. Supermarkets als fllw a few shppers thrugh the shp s that they can bserve what rutes peple take. This infrmatin helps them t
rearrange their prducts t appeal t mre custmers.

Why supermarket plans are similar t each ther.
What factrs cntribute t supermarkets’ success.
Why sme supermarkets appeal t mre custmers.
What supermarkets d t encurage custmers t buy mre.
Why are gds that near their sell-by date placed at the end f an aisle?
They are mre likely t be sld there.
They may give shppers a bad feeling.
They are less attractive than ther prducts.
They are what supermarkets want t give up.
Which f the fllwing statements is true accrding t the passage?
Shppers like carrying vegetables arund the supermarket.
Cameras are used t imprve the supermarkets' layut.
Lighting in supermarkets helps shppers t stay alert.

The pssibility f self-driving rbt cars has ften seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away frm materializing in the real wrld. Well, the future is apparently nw. The Califrnia Department f Mtr Vehicles began giving permits in April fr cmpanies t test truly self-driving cars n public rads. The state als cleared the way fr cmpanies t sell r rent ut self-driving cars, and fr cmpanies t perate driverless taxi services. Califrnia, it shuld be nted, isn’t leading the way here. Cmpanies have been testing their vehicles in cities acrss the cuntry. It’s hard t predict when driverless cars will be everywhere n ur rads. But hwever lng it takes, the technlgy has the ptential t change ur transprtatin systems and ur cities, fr better r fr wrse, depending n hw the transfrmatin is regulated.
While much f the debate s far has been fcused n the safety f driverless cars, plicymakers als shuld be talking abut hw self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissins and ffer mre cnvenient, affrdable mbility ptins. The arrival f driverless vehicles is a chance t make sure that thse vehicles are envirnmentally friendly and mre shared.
D we want t cpy—r even wrsen—the traffic f tday with driverless cars? Imagine a future
where mst adults wn individual self-driving vehicles. They tlerate lng, slw jurneys t and frm wrk n packed highways because they can wrk, entertain themselves r sleep n the ride, which encurages urban spread. They take their driverless car t an appintment and set the empty vehicle t circle the building t avid paying fr parking. Instead f walking a few blcks t pick up a child r the
dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The cnvenience even leads fewer peple t take public transprt—an unwelcme side effect researchers have already fund in ride- hailing (叫车) services.
Plicymakers shuld start thinking nw abut hw t make sure the appearance f driverless
vehicles desn’t extend the wrst aspects f the car-cntrlled transprtatin system we have tday. The cming technlgical advancement presents a chance fr cities and states t develp transprtatin systems designed t mve mre peple, and mre affrdably. The car f the future is cming. We just have t plan fr it.
What des the wrd “materializing” in paragraph 1 mst prbably mean?
cnsuming fewer resurcesB. cming int being
C. drawing peple’s attentinD. enjying an advantage
Paragraph 3 mainly talks abut .
drivers’ imprper use f self-driving cars
the wrsening traffic due t self-driving cars
the pssible bad effects f self-driving cars
the widespread applicatin f self-driving cars
What f the fllwing best illustrates the authr’s attitude twards self-driving cars?
It remains t be seen whether self-driving cars will be safe enugh.
The future f self-driving cars is nt as bright as prducers think.
We shuld make self-driving cars a better chice f transprtatin.
Plicy makers shuld stp giving self-driving cars permits.
Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
Preparing cities fr self-driving cars
Self-driving cars: shared r nt?
Shall we ban self-driving cars?
Future self-driving cars
Sectin C (8%)
Experts in the field say it's imprtant t be persnable, heartfelt and t speak like yu're talking t a friend.
Emtin matters in an acceptance speech at an awarding ceremny.
And these wrds have t be delivered in a shrt amunt f time.
But fr thers, such as sprts peple, it can be mre awkward.
Preparatin is key.
Making an acceptable speech sunds frightening, but dn't panic.
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Acceptance Speeches
‘Thank yu’ is a very plite thing t say when yu are given smething, and this is particularly imprtant when receiving an award at a ceremny. But if yu're ne f the lucky winners, ‘thank yu' is just the start f the mst imprtant acceptance speech f yur life.
Film, TV and music award ceremnies are all abut the acceptance speeches—they are an art frm in their wn right. They are a chance fr an actr r perfrmer t publicly thank peple wh've helped them.
Speeches are als used as a platfrm t make a plitical statement r just t raise smene's prfile (形象)--s it's imprtant t get the wrds right. (67) Fr example, at this year’s Oscars,
nminees (被提名者) have nly 90 secnds frm finding ut they’ve wn t finishing their speech.
Jhn Bailey, president f the Academy, has tld them they shuld “get up there and keep speeches brief."
When the clck is ticking, it's hard t say everything yu want. Weeping can waste time; bumbling (结结巴巴讲话) csts valuable secnds. (68) At the 2019 Glden Glbes, Olivia Clman was named the best actress fr her rle as Queen Anne in The Favrite and gave an excited speech that ended with her hlding up her trphy (奖杯) and sending a message t her family: “Ed and the kids--lk! Yay!”
Yu wuld expect an actr t be persuasive and able t perfrm n stage in frnt f an audience.(69)When Japan’s Nami Osaka wn this year's Australian Open final, she said “Srry, public speaking isn't my strng pint s I hpe I can get thrugh this... I read ntes befre this but I still frgt what I was meant t say.”
(70) It’s imprtant t make ntes that remind yu t thank peple, say sme wrds f wisdm, and win ver the audience. But if yu’ve gt nthing t say, accept yur award graciusly then get ff stage befre the music starts playing again--just remember t say ‘thank yu'!

I have been wrking the night shift as an ambulance driver and attendant fr eleven years nw. Being an ambulance driver is smewhat like being a plice fficer: 95% bredm, 5% terrr. When yu wrk the night shift, yu sleep in a hspital rm waiting fr the phne t ring, then listen t frantic directins and rush t the ambulance, hping yu gt the address right. Yu almst knw when a call is a bad ne by the time f night, day f the week, and the address f the incident.
I get int wrk at 11 'clck every night and I clck ff at 7 in the mrning, unless a last-minute call makes me late. One f the best things abut the jb is that I'm always n duty with ne f the ther guys. Nasty incidents are much easier t stmach when yu're with smene.

The hming instinct is what makes certain animals, birds and fish return t the place they cnsider hme. Cats ften have this instinct. It was particularly strng in an American cat called Ninja, which disappeared shrtly after its wner had taken it t their new hme; a year later the cat turned up at its ld hme even thugh this was 1,360 kilmeters away frm where its wners were nw living. Other cats may nt travel s far but many keep n ging back t their ld hmes. Pilsbury, an English cat, made a 13-kilmetre jurney back t its frmer hme 40 times in spite f having t crss several busy rads t d s.
Pigens als have the hming instinct and, ever since ancient times, human beings have used them t carry messages back hme. Hwever, cat wners, wh have t keep returning t their ld address in rder t bring their cat hme, tend t find the hming instinct simply annying rather than useful r interesting! Nw listen again.
