In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.
One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no...”cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”
I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?”
As light smile was on his face, “Yes!”
The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority (優(yōu)先權(quán)), worth and a place to belong to.
Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
24．Why did the family eat in the car after work?
A．To avoid heavy traffic jams. B．To spend more time with family members.
C．To remove the trouble of cooking. D．To have extra basketball classes.
25．What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2?
A．He wanted to build the playhouse independently.

C．He wanted to do projects with his dad.
D．He missed the school project and was very sad.
26．Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A．Efficient and patient. B．Educated and strict.
C．Open-minded and generous. D．Thoughtful and caring.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?

C．Family Events Bring Us Together D．Balancing Work and Family Is Important
C
Group exercise is one of the most helpful ways to improve physical fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course, everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but also for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more fruitful than going to the gym alone.
Another benefit of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better choice for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (監(jiān)管) of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold ( 訓(xùn) 斥 ) anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect and support can do a lot of good while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.
28．What does the first paragraph focus on?
A．The greatest challenge of group exercise.
B．The best way to improve physical fitness.
C．The contribution of group exercise to psychological health.
D．The shared common goal in performing exercise in groups.
29．What does the underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A．Cheerful. B．Average. C．Careful. D．Advanced.
30．What is the author’s suggestion according to paragraph 3?
A．It is joyful to party with positive people.
B．It is necessary to have a colorful lifestyle.
C．It is amazing to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly.
D．It is important to surround yourself with supportive people.
31．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Seeking Support B．Supporting Health
C．Improving Your Strength D．Building up Fitness
D
Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities — including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. Remski says, "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
32．What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Record. B．Understand. C．Redevelop. D．Simplify
33．What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy?
A．It is unfair to some people. B．It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C．It is advantageous to customers. D．It is the result of the marketplace.
34．What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A．Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B．Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C．Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D．Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
35．What was some cities’ attitude towards going cashless?
A．They encouraged it. B．They fought against it.
C．They cared little about it. D．They were hopeful about it.

A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly( 經(jīng)常地）remind him about his meetings, his classes, even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbors, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very, very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Pro.Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make??the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit.??luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
“Oh, my dear, I forgot the name of the town.”
“What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forgot my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.
Paragraph 1:
“What is the matter now?” asked his wife.

Paragraph 2:
Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________

67．“What is the matter now?” asked his wife. “ I just can’t remember why I come back and where I am supposed to be going on such a hot summer day.” replied the professor. However , the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children. Sensing something wrong, Mrs. Smith didn’t believe his words, because whenever he told a lie, he would blink his eyes usually quickly. “ Tell me the truth,” ordered his wife. “ As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forget the station where I left our children!” Whispered the professor, his voice trembling. “ What a bad memory!” shouted the wife.
“Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbors, trying to find out what had happened. A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor’s cellphone began to ring. His friend phoned to complain. The professor apologized, got into his car and drove away, leaving behind a bunch of people outside the house. Being afraid that he would make matters worse again, Mrs. Smith decided to follow him, who then called a taxi. By the time she caught up with her husband, the children were already back home safe and sound.

W: No. I usually read when I’m waiting to act in front of the camera.
W: Are you an actress?
M: Yes. There’s a lot of waiting during film acting. You’ll spend about 10% of your time on the job acting; the rest of the time waiting for the camera and lights to be set up or changed.
M: Now I see why you often take a book with you. So do you love your job?
W: Yes.
M: Could you tell me why?
W: Well, many people think actors can make a lot of money and enjoy great fame. But they’re not the reason why I love my job. I love it just because of my big interest.

??Today we will talk about sports. We know all over the world people enjoy sports. Why? Maybe the most important reason is that sports help people to keep healthy and happy and to live longer.
?????Many people like to watch others play games. They often buy tickets or turn on their TV to watch the games when they have time. And often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins or plays very well.
?????Some sports are so interesting that almost all the people go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with a lot of rivers or lakes.
?????Some sports or games go back more than 4, 000 years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese martial arts, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither is hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. As we all know, water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together, they often become good friends.
