22、Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.

【1】In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.

A．more difficult

B．easier

C．more uninteresting

D．more interesting

【2】The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.

A．the importance of friendship

B．to make your feeling known to others

C．the importance of communication

D．the disagreement between generations

【3】When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that __________.

A．children should always obey their parents

B．they should be equal

C．parents play the leading part

D．both make the opposite know their feelings

【4】The example in this passage proves that ___________.

A．Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her

B．Sophie is very polite to her parents

C．Sophie did well in explaining her being late

D．communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding

【5】All the following statements are correct except “_______”.

A．If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know

B．It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing

C．If you are not able to communicate, walk away

D．Communication is a two-way deal

23、Online grocery delivery has skyrocketed (飞涨) all over the world. Since COVID-19 cases have been declining, new companies such as Zapp, GoPuff, or Getir have entered the grocery delivery market with a mission to permanently change consumer habits. These rapid grocery delivery services make a novel promise: Groceries can be delivered within minutes to your door. This option sounds great to busy parents who cannot leave their children alone to pop into the store or people who have guests and urgently need a few extra beers without leaving the house. However, shoppers should watch out for the allure (诱惑) of rapid delivery whenever possible.

While a one-time rapid delivery is certainly harmless for the shopper and the whole market, repeatedly using such services will ultimately harm grocery shops and corner shops. So far, rapid delivery companies have been backed by capital fund (资金) to finance their costs，but they need to be profitable in the long run to survive. So they will push up prices and gradually cancel promotions once their capital funding has dried up. Last week, a delivery company was reported to have shut down after running out of cash, leaving its workers jobless. We should think about the serious outcome that may come up, such as much less lively cities that miss the small shops and delivery workers who face tight deadlines and little job security.

As consumers,we often think that our daily decisions are harmless. Just as one doughnut (甜甜圈) doesn’t compromise our healthy diet and one skipped workout doesn’t affect our fitness,one rapid delivery will not harm the little shops that make our neighborhood lively. Research shows that consumers who perform a behavior regularly for about six weeks have created a habit. So ordering rapid delivery every day will hurt our neighborhoods and make us poorer once prices increase.

Thus, approach the rapid delivery option as you would refuse to accept any other allure. Be careful not to create a habit that you might later come to regret.

【1】What makes rapid grocery delivery appealing to consumers?

A．Saving time and energy.

B．Avoiding disease exposure.

C．Following the global trend.

D．Buying highly desirable goods.

【2】What consequence may the massive growth of rapid delivery have?

A．Job market will be less completive.

B．Delivery services will make more profits.

C．Local commercial business will be promoted.

D．Small shops and delivery workers will be hurt.

【3】What is the function of paragraph 3?

A．To explain the harm of bad habits.

B．To make the argument more persuasive.

C．To add some background information.

D．To stress the value of decision-making.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Delivery companies will change how we shop

B．How can we manage to avoid being cheated online?

C．Shoppers should try to resist the allure of rapid delivery

D．How do grocery delivery companies affect small stores?

26、阅读下面的材料，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for thousands of years, is having trouble maintaining traction in many parts of the country, said the president of a TCM hospital in Henan province.

“I have visited many counties across the country and found many of them do not have a single TCM hospital," said Pang Guoming of Kaifeng Hospital of TCM in Kaifeng. "In some counties, TCM hospitals use the old buildings of other hospitals, which have moved to bigger and new buildings."

"TCM is a unique health resource for China, and more effort should be made to promote it so it plays a bigger part in universal healthcare."

The development of TCM is expected to accelerate, with a guideline recently approved by the top leadership aimed at promoting innovation and the passing on of TCM knowledge.

Equal importance should be given to the development of TCM and Western medicine to promote their complementary （互补的）nature, said the guideline. More efforts should be made to improve the TCM service system, promote high-quality development of the TCM industry and boost TCM talent building, it said.

A widely known example is Tu Youyou, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize for the discovery of the artemisinin. Tu and her Chinese colleagues gained the insight that led to their discovery while reading a TCM prescription book that was more than 1,600 years old.
