26、Working on holidays has always been something of a class divide. From the 1870s through the 1920s, upper-middle-class Americans often lived with “the help”—mostly women of color whose job was to cook and clean and care for others, day and night. While shows like Downton Abbey seek to give life to servants, they also sanitize (粉饰) what was a cruel existence. It was common for a housemaid (女仆)’s day to begin well before the family rose and extend until after they retired for the evening. They did so seven days a week; working more than 80 hours a week — more than the 65 hours most factory workers worked at the time. While we often imagine that these women were young and single, Evelyn Nakano Glenn’s research on such care providers has shown that over 30% of them were married, many with children. As they worked very hard for families not of their own, they left their children, parents, brothers and sisters, and husbands behind. November and December was no doubt one of the hardest times of the year, and their own families felt their absence.

The labor movement was central to changing this sorry situation (though labor laws almost never cover domestic workers). Unions raised salaries, lowered hours, had a minimum salary and secured holidays off for workers. Those who did have to work on national holidays were guaranteed (保证的) overtime pay. When unions were strong, such benefits even extended to non-unionized workers. But as unions have declined, part-time work has increased. And this has meant lower salaries and greater uncertainty. For most part-time workers, that’s one of the better jobs. And still, it’s a job without health insurance, or a retirement plan, with changes that make it hard to take additional employment. Most of these workers wish they could work more, but employers would rather hire other part-timers. So when the boss says, “Can you work Thanksgiving?”, workers have no real choice but to be “willing”.

Today, working on holidays carries no guarantee of extra pay in the United States, and not working can mean losing one’s job. That is the irony (讽刺的) to the trend of stores opening on Thanksgiving. On the same day that we give thanks for all we have, why must we also rush out to buy more? Someone might say, “It’s just the law of the market!” But the law of the market is not some mysterious process. It is the result of the decisions that we make.

【1】According to the author, what do shows like Downton Abbey sanitize?

A．The workload of domestic servants was very heavy.

B．Most of the house helpers should be of color.

C．Housemaids were usually married women, many with children.

D．The class divide was not that obvious in real life.

【2】After the labor movement, powerful unions helped a lot EXCEPT that ______.

A．housemaids could also have the holidays off

B．even non-unionized workers enjoyed more benefits

C．people were given higher wages on the same position

D．most workers worked for fewer hours every week

【3】The workers have no choice but to be “willing” to work on Thanksgiving because ______.

A．part-time workers’ salaries are lower and they wish to earn more

B．part-time work itself means a lot of changes

C．they want to take any additional employment when possible

D．they may otherwise be replaced by other willing part-timers

【4】What does the writer think of the trend of shopping on holidays?

A．It is dangerous because a lot of workers will stop working.

B．It is a kind of protection to help those poor part-time workers.

C．It is against the true holiday spirits, especially Thanksgiving.

D．It is ironic because the law of the market decides what we do.

27、Be at your best!

What does your brain need to work well? Here are some things it needs.

Good food

Experts say that breakfast is much more important than any other meal. 【1】. So don’t miss breakfast—especially before an exam! But you need to eat a good breakfast—junk food won’t work.

A regular supply of energy

Your brain needs a regular supply of energy, so you need to eat carbohydrates (碳水化合物). They’re found in bread, rice, pasta and beans. 【2】. They work more quickly than bread and rice, so they give you a short burst (爆发) of energy, but afterwards you feel more tired.

A continuous supply of oxygen (氧气)

Your brain needs oxygen, which it gets from exercise. 【3】. You also need a good supply of iron because iron helps your blood to carry oxygen round your body.

Water

【4】. Not getting enough water will stop your brain from working well. And remember, water isn’t as expensive as sweet drinks!

【5】

Your brain needs several hours’ sleep, so it can ‘update’ itself, just like a computer. Experts say that when you study for a test or an exam, you should get some sleep as quickly as possible after you’ve finished studying. This helps you to remember what you’ve learned.

A．A short break

B．A good night’s sleep

C．It works best in the morning.

D．Exercise improves your memory too.

E．Water is much better than sweet drinks.

F．Your brain works better when you have eaten.

G．Chocolate, biscuits and sweets are not good for your brain.

28、If you go to Juliano’s restaurant in San Francisco, you can’t get a cup of coffee or a hot cheese sandwich. All the food in the restaurant is raw, including the pizza and the rice.

Juliano thinks that cooked food makes us sick. “Food is alive, like you and me. When you cook food, you take away some of the vitamins,” he says. Juliano never eats food that is over 50 degrees. His restaurant doesn’t have a stove（火炉）or a microwave（微波炉）. But he has lots of clever ideas for making raw food taste great. Instead of heat, Juliano uses water to prepare food. He puts foods in water to make them soft. For example, he places beans in water for a few days and rice in water for two to four weeks.

Everything at the restaurant is cold, and the pizza and the rice taste good. So do the fruit and vegetable juices made from carrots, apples, oranges and so on. Juliano’s restaurant doesn’t serve meat, but some people who eat raw food also eat raw meat. Juliano has three friends who ate raw meat. They all got very sick. One of them is still sick.

Juliano eats mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts, rice and beans. He says he feels very healthy. “Raw food gives you lots of energy,” he says. Juliano says he needs only six hours of sleep a night, and he never gets sick.

29、One day while returning from his school, Logan, a nineteen-year teen, saw an old man struggling to breathe on the street. As he had just had his class about how to do CPR, Logan at once realized the old man needed CPR to survive. Instinctively, he made the old man lie down and started doing a hand CPR. After ten minutes, he managed to save the life of the old man.

Two years later, his sister Chloe started to have an unexplained low fever for quite some time. After a visit to the hospital, the family was told that Chloe's kidney was nearly failing and needed an immediate kidney transplantation, which at least cost half a million dollars. After a long discussion, Logan's family decided to mortgage their house as they had no other way out. After the transplantation, with little income and family expenses to cover, the family had to stop paying for the mortgage. Finally, the bank sent them a notice for the auction of their house.

At the auction, only one man called for 0.8 million and there seemed to be no other contenders for him. The bank officers were about to give it a final call when one old man suddenly rose and called for 2 million dollars. The officers looked shocked as they knew the worth of the house could not be more than a million dollars. Logan looked hard at the old man and instantly recognized him. He was the same old man whom Logan had given CPR years ago.

31、Fat and Salt

Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 【1】(remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. Having enough fat and salt in your meals 【2】(reduce) the urge to snack between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be careful not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 【3】 is not good for the health.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we weren’t playing on the court, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.

Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me?” Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. I knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.

Then came the big day. We were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record of this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. Despite our best efforts, we were still 10 points behind The Bears. Without much time left, the last quarter began. Unfortunately, our team members got injured one after another.

All hope fell on me. Unfortunately, a player and I crashed into each other. With pain racing through my body, my knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The doctor put an ice pack on my knee, but it was still painful. Obviously, I could not play any more. The coach gave a deep sigh and murmured in a low voice, “We have no more players”.

注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右;

“I think I can give it a try,” a determined voice came from the crowd.
