I was looking at the items such as a teapot, a poetry book, and a coat. I bought them from charity shops, where others' trash became my1 . I have also donated many unwanted toys. 2 my toys will also become others' precious discoveries.
This circular relationship is just one of the many3 of charity shops. They extend the usefulness of old objects, which are liked by new4 instead of ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). According to the statistics, second-hand donations5 90% of a charity shop's product range. With people becoming more and more6 of the benefits of a circular economy, the relevant language of charity shoppers has changed. Shoppers now speak of "pre-loved" or "vintage" goods7 "second-hand" clothes.
In addition, the economic value of charity shops is increasing. There are currently over 11, 000 charity shops in the U. K. , 8 about 270 million a year for charity work. This means vital support for medical research, solving poverty, 9 child welfare, and so on.

Suffering from a phobia (恐惧症) is far from delightful. For adults, the phobia can seriously limit a person's functioning. If you or your child experiences a phobia, you may wish to try the following to reduce the distress surrounding it.
Name the fear.
Dr. Dan Siegel, clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA, summarizes this experience as "name it to tame it. " Pixar's movie Monsters, Inc. illustrates this nicely as the monster in the closet becomes less scary when Boo names it Kitty.
Ask yourself whether the fear is sensible. Since many fears are groundless in nature, this step helps to reduce "worst-case scenario (方案)" thinking. It is important to note that while the percentage of many feared items happening is extremely remote, they are not necessarily 0 percent. Therefore, this step is often paired with finding a way to make peace with the feared item still existing in the world.
Safely face the fear.
This is demonstrated to be the most enduring way to put fears behind us. Any unhelpful reaction, especially avoidance, must be removed. It's vital to set the stage for success by safely and gradually facing the feared item, step by step. For instance, if someone is afraid of snakes, picturing a snake in one's mind comes first, then looking at a picture of the rattlesnake, and finally going to the zoo. Not facing, or worse, avoiding fear tends to give it more power and make the phobia stronger over time.
In summary, it is perfectly natural and human to experience fears. If a phobia lasts, it is always an option to seek the help of a mental health professional. Whatever you do, it is important not to let the fear consume you or your child's life.
A. Analyze the fear.
B. Make peace with the fear.
C. Labeling the fear tends to reduce the power of the feared item.
D. For children, it leads to increased anxiety and may lead up to school avoidance.
E. These steps can be paired with relaxation strategies to limit the physiological fear response.
F. Generally speaking, the more a person seeks treatment for the phobia, the better the outcome.
G. However, when that fear becomes too much or fixed, it can prevent us from enjoying the joys or necessities of life.

3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
The shiny leaves and branching roots of mangroves (红树林) in Australia are eye-catching, and now a study provides us with new findings about the trees. Long-term tidal cycles (潮汐周期), in large part, set in motion the expansion and contraction of mangrove forests by the moon drive, researchers report in Science Advances. This discovery is key to predicting when mangroves are most likely to grow fast.
Mangroves are coastal trees, which are good at absorbing carbon and could help fight climate change, that provide habitat for fish and fight against erosion (侵蚀). But in some places, the forests face plenty of menaces, including coastal development, pollution and land clearing for agriculture. Neil Saintilan, an environmental scientist in Sydney, worked out how the size and thickness of mangrove forests across Australia changed over time.
Saintilan noticed a curious pattern. Mangrove forests tended to expand and contract in a certain manner. "I saw this 33-year regular change, " Saintilan said.
That regularity got the researchers thinking about the moon. Over the course of 33 years, the plane (平面) of the moon's orbit around Earth slowly tilts (倾斜). When the moon's orbit is the least tilted relative to the equator, semi-diurnal tides (半日潮)—which consist of two high and low tides each day—tend to have a larger range. Saintilan found that mangrove forests experiencing semi-diurnal tides tended to be larger and denser precisely when higher tides were expected based on the moon's orbit, which could deliver much more water and necessary nutrients to mangroves.
It is important to recognize this effect on mangrove populations. Such knowledge could inform efforts to protect and restore the forests, thus promoting the growth of these trees. That might look like added limitations on human activity nearby that could harm the forests. But people should be more reactive.
(1)、Which of the following can be indicated from the new study about Australian mangroves?A、They can predict the motion of the moon. B、Their favorable growth time is predictable. C、Their functions are beyond normal imagination. D、They do well in transforming carbon into oxygen.(2)、What does the underlined word "menaces" probably mean in Paragraph 2?A、Doubts. B、Threats C、Opportunities. D、Solutions.(3)、How does the moon affect mangroves' growth in Australia?A、By decreasing the appearance of low tides. B、By tilting frequently to offer more tides for the Earth. C、By driving tides to provide beneficial elements for growth. D、By generating semi-diurnal tides to reduce mangroves' soil loss.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A、Knowledge of Protecting and Storing Mangroves. B、Research about Expansion and Contraction of Forests. C、Discovery on the Causes of High and Low Tides. D、New Findings about Moon Drive and Mangroves. -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Are you addicted to social media? You may think you can quit it any time you want, but your body and brain may not agree. Staying deeply connected to your social networks can be costly.
Researchers took a look at how non-stop social networking can actually change your brain. Social media sites are used by one third of the global population, and 5—10% are unable to control their online usage due to a psychological addiction. Researchers call this addiction a substance addiction, namely, a similar effect of drug or alcohol on addicts.
There is a decline in the white matter (脑白质) that controls emotional processing and decision making, largely because social media provides an immediate reward. When you post something online and someone "likes" it, you get the immediate reward—people's praise, and then your brain begins to long for these rewards. It's just like how a drug works.
Researchers also looked at how multitasking affects the brain. When you are dealing with a variety of tasks, devices, and websites, you have to constantly switch your thinking modes, which usually leads to the unbalanced distribution of attention. Also, multitasking could damage your ability to commit to memory. Consider what happens when your phone vibrates (振动). You feel the vibration and nine times out of ten, you pull your phones out to check, which will distract you from what you are doing.
Of course there is nothing wrong with using social media to stay in touch with family, friends, and colleagues, but as with everything else in life, moderation (适度) is the key. Moderation can not only help us on task, but also help control the side effects from over stimulating our brains with social media, mobile devices, and screen time.
(1)、What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?A、To raise a question. B、To give an example. C、To bring up the topic. D、To make an analysis.(2)、What's the reason behind people's non-stop social networking?A、Their fragile brain structure. B、The convenient Internet access. C、The pressure from fast city life. D、Their mental dependence on it.(3)、According to the passage, which of the following outcomes can multitasking bring about?A、An improvement in time management. B、A decline in creativity. C、A decrease in working efficiency. D、An increase in sensibility.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards social media?A、Objective. B、Doubtful. C、Supportive. D、Critical. -

It's getting close to midnight, and close to my destination—mile marker 133 on Alaska's Glenn Highway, where I'm on the road to realize a lifelong dream. I'm going to see the northern lights.
I am Scott's only customer tonight, but whether it's one person or a bridal party from Japan, the professional photographer and videographer loves to come put here to witness one of nature's most spectacular shows — and to share it with others. "I can't tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people's faces. That's worth it right there. That's the reason why I do tours, " he says.
I emerge from the van into minus 6 degrees. A bazillion stars sparkle, and the Milky Way pours overhead. What looks like a gray stream of cloud arches low over the horizon. "That's it!" says Scott. Really? That's it? I spent 13 hours in planes and airports, and then drove 2. 5 hours to see a gray belt? "Patience, " he says. "It will get better. Wait till 2 am. That's usually the best time. "
Aurora (极光) tourism is combined with winter activities like ice fishing, snow machine rides, and hot springs. As aurora guides and scientists will tell you, there's no guarantee of a sighting. But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds, which can be a challenge for Anchorage. Travelers are recommended to put aside at least three nights to improve your chances of viewing, with the idea that you'll be up much of the night each time.
Each time he wakes me and I step outside, it appears more glorious. At first, a fuzz the size of a honeydew floats along the horizon. Another time, a broad green line stretches across the sky, followed by a short tail. "Do you see the red?" Scott asks. He has me look through his camera. It can see more color than the naked eye. Finally, as if playing a visual symphonic tune, a giant line of phosphorous (发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl. I'm smiling inside and out. We can go now.
(1)、What makes Scott like to do aurora tourism?A、The chance to take spectacular photos. B、The happiness of tourists. C、The party to enjoy the norther lights. D、His lifelong dream.(2)、What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A、She felt very angry. B、She was quite thrilled. C、She was a little disappointed. D、She gradually lost her patience.(3)、Why is Fairbanks an ideal place to enjoy the northern lights?A、It offers visitors a guaranteed sighting. B、It's located in the Antarctic Circle. C、It has winter activities for travelers. D、It's free from coastal cloudy weather.(4)、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A、The beauty of aurora. B、Scott's camera. C、The author's departure. D、The shapes of northern lights. -

8、 阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Millions of people over the age of 65 have been diagnosed with depression, and many more could be suffering. There are varied factors. Older people are much more likely to be alone, socially isolated or feel a general lack of purpose. Sometimes older people have a much more difficult time admitting mental health issues.
Early memory loss often causes depression, which can in turn make memory loss worse. A patient with early memory loss and depression really needs to be treated for the depression to slow the memory loss. A mood change also can be a sign of depression. If a previously calm person becomes increasingly bad-tempered, or a previously clean person no longer bothers to shower, that person should be judged again.
Older adults see depression as a weakness and tend to be annoyed by a diagnosis of depression. Therefore, don't tell people of an older generation that you think they may be depressed. Tell them you're worried about their health. Tell them they seem to be out of sorts, or seem tired, or unhappy. Say you just want to check with the doctor to see what's going on. Once you've used physical symptoms to get that person to agree to a check-up, mention your fears to the doctor and allow the doctor to approach the subject of depression with the patient.
If a parent or an older loved one has been diagnosed with depression, the first thing people should do is be aware that diagnosis is not easily treated. The initial treatment may not be effective. Therefore, patients and family members should be prepared to try different ways of dealing with the depression. It's also important to encourage patients to stick with treatment — even if they start to feel better.
(1)、What factors might lead to older people's depression besides early memory loss?(2)、Why do patients with early memory loss and depression really need to be treated?(3)、Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.(4)、What will you do if you notice that one beloved elderly uncle of yours is obviously depressed? Why? -

Customer service refers to the way that companies behave towards their customers. However, many a time organizations don't focus on customer relationship management, and that's what makes customers angry, which is one of the reasons why companies lose their customers.
First of all, you need to realize the great value of the customers. It's they who are the boss, and it, s because of them that you get your pay checks. So do take your customers seriously.
You need to ask the customers the right kind of questions and think of the possible solutions which you can provide. Understand how they feel according to a particular situation, their body language, tone of voice and words they speak. Never make assumptions and think that you know what the customers want.
Making customers feel they are important is an excellent way to serve them better. The best way to do that is using their first name and finding ways of praising them in a sincere way.
In addition, there are some other skills which will help you in serving your customers better. For example, once you finish solving the problem for the customers, before ending the call, always remember to ask if there is anything else you can do for them. End the call with a "thank you". If the customers are angry, let them express their anger completely. Once they've finished speaking, try to calm them down by apologizing.
In a word, always remember that if the customers remain happy, you'll be in business.
A. Treat customers as individuals.
B. Never interrupt or start speaking until they've finished.
C. You can bring in as many new customers as you want.
D. So customer service is important and you should know how to improve it.
E. Finding out the needs of the customers is another important customer service tip.
F. More companies are finding that their customer service should not be limited to stores.
G. It's the quality of service that determines whether the customer remains with the company.

10、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
We often think about relationships on a scale from positive to negative. We are drawn to loving family members, caring classmates and supportive mentors. We do our best to avoid the cruel uncle, the playground bully and the jerk boss.
But the most toxic relationships aren't the purely negative ones. They're the ones that are a mix of positive and negative. We often call them frenemies, supposed friends who sometimes help you and sometimes hurt you. But ifs not just friends. It's the in-laws who volunteer to watch your kids but belittle your parenting. The manager who praises your work but denies you a promotion.
Everyone knows how relationships like that can tie your stomach into a knot. But groundbreaking research led by the psychologists Bert Uchino and Julianne Holt-Lunstad shows that ambivalent (矛盾情绪的) relationships can be damaging to your health — even more than purely negative relationships.
I had assumed that with a neighbor or a colleague, having some positive interactions was better than all negative interactions. But being cheered on by the same person who cuts you down doesn't reduce the bad feelings; it increases them. And it's not just in your head: It leaves a trace in your heart and your blood.
Even a single ambivalent interaction can cause harm. In one experiment, people gave impromptu speeches on controversial topics in front of a friend who offered feedback. The researchers had randomly assigned the friend to give ambivalent or negative comments. Receiving mixed feedback caused higher blood pressure than pure criticism. "I would have gone about the topic differently, but you're doing fine" proved to be more distressing than "I totally disagree with everything you've said."
The evidence that ambivalent relationships can be bad for us is strong, but the reasons can be harder to read — just like the relationships themselves.
The most intuitive reason is that ambivalent relationships are unpredictable. With a clear enemy, you put up a shield when you cross paths. With a frenemy, you never know whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is going to show up. Feeling unsure can disrupt the body's calming system and activate a fight-or-flight response. It's unsettling to hope for a hug while also preparing for a likely quarrel.
Another factor is that unpleasant interactions are more painful in an ambivalent relationship. It's more upsetting to be let down by people you like sometimes than by people you dislike all the time. When someone stabs you in the back, it stings more if he's been friendly to your face.
(1)、Which of the following can be counted as a frenemy?A、Your neighbour's kid who advises you to study hard but idles away his own time. B、Your classmate who admires your diligence at first, but doubts your intelligence later. C、Your mother's friend who encourages you to spend more time on homework but less on smart phones. D、Your father's colleague who proposes you to do a moderate amount of homework while ensuring adequate sleep.(2)、Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A、Ambivalent relationships have a permanent effect on your well-being. B、The common cause for high blood pressure is ambivalent relationship. C、Ambivalent interactions will be more painful if it is done consciously. D、The negative impact of ambivalent interactions is direct and strong.(3)、The underlined word "belittle" in paragraph 2 probably means ____.A、devalue B、appreciate C、respect D、abuse(4)、Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A、Some Negative Relationships Are Bad for Your Health B、Your Most Ambivalent Relationships Are the Most Toxic C、The Reasons for Ambivalent Relationships Are Unpredictable D、Some Positive Relationships Are Better than All Negative Ones -
11、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Supermarkets have long been suffering as one of the thinnest-margined businesses in existence and one of the least-looked-forward-to places to work or visit. For more than a decade, they have been under attack from e-commerce giants, blamed for making Americans fat, and accused of contributing to climate change.
Supermarkets can technically be defined as giants housing 15,000 to 60,000 different products. The revolutionary idea of a self-service grocery, where people could hunt and gather food from aisles rather than asking a clerk to fetch items from behind a counter, first came about in America. There is some debate about which was the very first, but over the years a consensus has built around King Kullen Supermarket, founded in New York in 1930.
For some 300 years, Americans had fed themselves from small stores and public markets. Shopping for food involved mud, noisy chickens, clouds of flies, nasty smells, bargaining, and getting short-changed. The supermarket imitated the Fordist factory, with its emphasis on efficiency and standardization, and reimagined it as a place to buy food. Supermarkets may not feel cutting-edge now, but they were a revolution in distribution at the time. They were such strange marvels that, on her first official state visit to the United States in 1957, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ insisted on an impromptu (即兴的) tour of a suburban-Maryland Giant Food.
The typical supermarket layout has barely changed over the past 90 years. Most stores open with flowers, fruit and vegetables at the front as a breath of freshness to arouse our appetite. Meanwhile, they keep the milk, eggs, and other daily basics all the way back so you'll travel through as much of the store as possible, and be tempted along the way.
In the early days, as the supermarket multiplied, so did our suspicion of it. We have long feared that this "revolution in distribution" uses corporate black magic on our appetite. The book The Hidden Persuaders, published in 1957, warned that supermarkets were putting women in a "hypnoidal trance (催眠恍惚状态)," causing them to wander aisles, bumping into boxes and "picking things off shelves at random."
(1)、What problem have supermarkets been facing?A、They are actually on the way to shutdown. B、They have been losing customers and profits. C、They are forced to use e-commerce strategies. D、They have difficulty adapting to climate change.(2)、What does the passage say about the idea of a self-service grocery?A、It was put forward by King Kullen. B、It originated in the United States. C、It has been under constant debate. D、It proves revolutionary even today.(3)、What have people long feared about supermarkets?A、They use tricky strategies to promote their business. B、They are going to replace the local groceries entirely. C、They apply corporate black magic to the goods on display. D、They take advantage of the weaknesses of women shoppers. -

About a dozen women have gathered as their instructor guides them through the moves. "Backstroke!" Jean Bailey directs from her chair, raising her arms high, as the women of Elk Ridge quickly begin arm rotations. Everyone puts in top effort.
Bailey, who is 102, has been teaching them four times a week in the hallway of the second floor for about three years. "When I get old, I'll quit," said Bailey. Some of her regulars have arthritis (关节炎) that limits their movements, but they can do the stretching exercises comfortably and benefit from them, said Bailey, who herself often uses a walker.
"After attending the class, we've gotten pretty close up there on our floor. One of us would do something for anybody. We really keep track of each other," Phyllis Black, 87, said. She lives down the hall from Bailey; if she skips them, she feels stiff. "She's a very nice neighbor, and she's a good friend also. She's very talented."
When her children were young, Bailey became a florist (花匠) — a practice she still enjoys as a hobby. She buys artificial flowers and makes bouquets (花束) for the clubhouse and some residents. Laura Stuart calls her the "queen bee". "She brings her expertise in floral arrangements and is always doing beautiful arrangements," Stuart said. "She brings that to us, and it's just a blessing that she's still here with us to even do such a complex type of floral arrangement."
At Elk Ridge, residents can participate in fitness activities like a walking club, tai chi and working out in a fitness room. But Bailey's ladies seem to prefer her class because of her warm and fun personality, and the gentleness of the stretches for people who have mobility challenges, says Sean Tran, operations director at Elk Ridge. "More than anything, her general outlook on life…is just remarkable," he said about Bailey. "She's the nicest, most thoughtful, caring person that I probably ever met. Nothing is going to stop her," Tran said. "She's going to keep going, no matter what. And others look at her and think: 'If she can do this at 102, I can do this at my age, whatever it is.'"
(1)、What scene does the first paragraph describe?A、A game practice. B、A dancing session. C、A swimming training. D、A fitness class.(2)、What is implied in Phyllis's words about the learners?A、They have deepened the women's friendship. B、Some women often skip the exercise classes. C、Old women are gifted in exercise.D Some attendees feel stiff after the classes.
(3)、What does Laura think of Bailey?A、She has a hobby of growing flowers. B、She is expert at arranging flowers. C、She is a good florist. D、She sells man-made flowers to others.(4)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、Bailey organizes various activities, B、Bailey makes her attendees stretch gently. C、Bailey inspires other people to exercise. D、Bailey remarks on the life of others. -

Within seconds, I realized I needed to3 my rusty Spanish to connect with this mom. That initial conversation explained the lonely, desperate look in her eyes. I wrote my phone number on the flier and told her to4 if she ever wanted to walk to the park with the kids.

A North Carolina woman had her first birthday party at 105 years old. Although she is so old, she never realized her dream——she wanted to have a birthday party. She also wished to receive 105 birthday cards, the same number as her age.
Lorene Summe y is an elderly person at Somerset Court, a nursing home in Cherryville, North Carolina. Two months ago, a worker in the nursing home asked Summe y what she would like for her upcoming birthday.
"We have an old lady that has a birthday next month and she will be 105 years old! She has never had a big birthday party before, so I asked her several months ago what she would like to do for her birthday. She said she would love to have square dance at her birthday party, "Jodie Lankford wrote in a Facebook post. "I think this wish is not quite too difficult, and we can help her to achieve. "
"She explained to us her experiences in her childhood. She said her sister could always go out to enjoy herself but she had to stay home most of the time to take care of the younger ones. She felt unfairly treated by her parents at the time, "she said. "She wanted her hair and makeup done, and she wanted to wear the same dress she wore when she was young. "
"She is also concerned about another thing——she doesn't think she could have 105 birthday cards sent by mail to her for her birthday! I've told her that we will have more. I have made her believe that her wish is sure to come true, "Lankford added.
Last Friday night, her great birthday party began on the square of the nursing home. The time came for the old lady to realize her wish.

Today usually cards (give) with a present, even when people can send (they) wishes in person.
