21、 Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service．

Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25—30 students every time．We play board games and cards with the elderly while we’re there．

You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about“life back then”，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible．

Whether it was talking to 98-year-old“Hurricane Hilda”about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor，I was completely mesmerized by every single memory the elderly wanted to share with me．Even those who don’t have amazing memories make the experience fulfilling(充实的)．I remember visiting Mrs Robinson．She couldn’t recall much about her past，but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her．It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living．

If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it’s that presence——just being there—means more than anything to many of them．And despite how busy our lives are，there’s always time to make someone’s day．

22、   Consuming food can be a pleasurable thing-we enjoy the mix of tastes and textures (结构) and it stops us feeling hungry too. Of course, food also gives us energy and the vitamins and minerals that our body needs. It’s no wonder we spend so much time preparing and eating food. But what many of us don’t consider is how our emotions are affected by what we put into our bellies.

For me, it’s the unhealthy foods that put a smile on my face-chocolate, cakes and ice cream. It might seem obvious that food that’s bad for our waistline, usually makes us happy, at least in the short term. But dieticians tell us that eating bad food long term, not only makes us put on weight but can lead to other health conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), and it can also affect our mental state and bring on depression.

The link between our mind and food has been looked at by scientists. They’ve recently found that it’s the bacteria in our gut that affects our mood. It’s thought we have 39 trillion of these simple, small organisms (生物体) in our body. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada have found that certain “good” bacteria help reduce anxiety in mice. Experts believe that, for us humans, this means food with “good” bacteria can improve the way we feel.

Many food products are claiming to be high in this “good” bacteria and some of the best types are homemade food like miso soup, yoghurt and sauerkraut (泡菜). Doctor Michael Mosley would agree. He says the best food to cheer us up is in a “Mediterranean diet”. Olive oil; oily fish, full of omega 3, which is really good for the brain; whole grains; lots of fruits and vegetables. Sugar: terrible for you! There are other factors that can change our mood but it seems we have some ability to improve how we feel by controlling what we put on our plate. Does your diet affect your mood?

【1】What helps reduce anxiety in mice?

A.Good bacteria. B.Bad food.

C.Large organisms. D.Health conditions.

【2】We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A.we can improve how we feel by controlling food

B.people had better eat less cakes and ice cream

C.Mediterranean diet cheers people up

D.some of the worst food are homemade food like miso soup

【3】The best title of the passage may be ________.

A.The Theory of Food B.Change Your Food

C.Food and Mood D.Enjoy Your Food

23、As experts warn of a coming food crisis, the vertical farming industry aims to create plants that offer more nutritional value and require fewer resources. In vertical farms, plants are grown indoors. Each set of plants is placed above another. Workers control the climate and closely monitor each plant’s growth.

AeroFarms is one of the top indoor-farming companies. One of its vertical farms is in a large building near a busy road in Newark. It grows more than 250 kinds of greens and herbs. Farmers wear gloves, coats and coverings on their heads. Their shoes must be cleaned.

AeroFarms grows crops at the same rate throughout the year. The methods it uses lower soil destruction. They also reduce the amount of pesticides and water needed to grow the crops. The company says carbon emissions are heavily reduced. “We could do this whether it is in the Sahara Desert or a city like Newark,” David, the chief executive officer of AeroFarms, said. “We think about how we can really bring and celebrate different types of greens.”

Alina, a dietitian and nutritionist at AeroFarms, says she wants people to eat more leafy greens like kale, one of the most nutritionally dense foods. She says if her company is to successfully encourage this kind of healthy eating, it must grow crops that taste good. “Americans especially don’t eat enough vegetables, and so for me the most exciting part is all of the different flavors that we have here. It makes eating your vegetables so much more exciting and so much more fun.” CEO David believes the company’s kale is tasty. “A lot of people like the nutritional density of kale, but they don’t like the taste. So we can make a sweeter kale,” he said. “AeroFarms is helping the world deal with a growing food shortage and people must change their focus from the number of calories they consume to the nutrition levels of the foods they eat.”

Recent World Bank studies predict that an estimated global population of 9 billion in 2050 will require at least 50 percent more food. Experts say the crisis will be worsened by climate change, which they believe will reduce crop harvests by more than 25 percent during that time. They say the food crisis will have a larger effect on the world’s poorest citizens than on those who live in developed countries.

【1】What can we learn about vertical farms?

A．They are mostly of vast size.

B．They aim to plant tasty foods.

C．They grow crops half the year.

D．They can control the environmental factors.

【2】Which of the following is a requirement for farmers in Aero-Farms?

A．Complete confidence.

B．Physical strength.

C．Sociability.

D．Tidiness.

【3】How are the crops in AeroFarms?

A．Muddy.

B．Energy-efficient.

C．Watery.

D．Quick-growing.

【4】What does the last paragraph imply?

A．The popularity of vertical farming.

B．The consequence of climate change.

C．The necessity of new farming approaches.

D．The seriousness of population problems.

24、My morning started out normally. Having hurried to complete chores, I raced out of the door for my mid-morning appointment.

By the time I finished my appointment, I was starving. I stopped at Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a pancake to take home and eat while working.

Since it was a little before noon, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was paying at the checkout counter. She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused, because she said, “I got you.” She continued to pay for both of our meals even though we were strangers.

I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise.

Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected on her kindness.

It reminded me of two things: Firstly, focus on positive interactions instead of the negative ones. Secondly, if you’re able to perform a simple act of kindness, do it. Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. She was kind — with no expectations of receiving anything in return.

As I have promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, it make a small difference in someone’s life, and the ripple (涟漪)effect will continue, because that’s what being human is all about ——being kind ——even to a stranger.

【1】Why did the author go to Moe’s Southwest Grill?

A．To find a job.

B．To buy a pancake,

C．To get a free meal.

D．To have an appointment.

【2】How did the author feel when Marcella was paying for her meal ?

A．Excited.

B．Moved.

C．Puzzled.

D．Guilty.

【3】What did Marcella advise the author to do?

A．To help those in poverty.

B．To reflect on her kindness.

C．To focus on positive things in life.

D．To hand kindness on to someone else.

【4】What message does the author intend to convey?

A．Live your life to the fullest.

B．Keep your promise to strangers.

C．Be grateful to whoever helps you.

D．Do something good even for strangers.

25、To this day her kindness brings tears to my eyes.

It was from more than 15 years ago and I felt like I’d always been too embarrassed to _________ her properly. I hope to share this so that there’ll be more _________ in the office. I was the “idiot (白痴)” in the office and my _________ was annoyed by my inability. I watched secretly from the corner as my manager _________ to the CFO (财务总监) about how I wasn’t _________, and that I was extremely slow to learn, before actually calling me an idiot. I believed what she said and felt _________.

However, Teresa who was my manager’s assistant was so _________ to my trouble, and she would stay back each day to teach me ever so patiently. She knew of my personal _________, and would call me to make sure I didn’t _________ to my bad habit (which I’m not yet ready to share here). She never wanted attention, always __________ me when no one is watching, and she had no agenda.

With her help and the confidence she __________ in me, I finally advanced and doubled my salary after just over a year. Actually, I was __________ after my manager’s complaint but got promoted a few times in the next company. However, her biggest __________ to me was simply that she cared for me. So I had to believe in myself.

Kindness is a gift. I hope to return the __________ to Teresa one day, and to __________ the same opportunity to others.
