26、 In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.
She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint had fallen off. It was a room where sad patients are receiving their routine—patients limited themselves to chemo drips (点滴) for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at except those sad walls. Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she had pity on the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happens, Ballard’s doctor, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten the place up.
She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms.’” she said. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford’s rooms each.
As it happens, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel the relief of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.
Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reaction that she created a non-profit organization, Rooms That Rock Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for an opening ceremony, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I’m gonna beat it.’”
【1】What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?
A.Her pity for cancer patients.
B.Her passion for room decoration.
C.The good relationship with Hufford.
D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.
【2】What result does Ballard’s efforts bring about?
A.More hospitals will be built.
B.Hufford cured more patients.
C.The cancer patients were feeling better.
D.Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good reputation.
【3】Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?
A.Rich and generous. B.Talented and energetic.
C.Loving and devoted. D.Ambitious and creative.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Battle Against Cancer B.Design for Hope
C.Donation for Patients D.Decoration in Hospital
27、 An apology is an expression of regret for something you've done wrong，and serves as a way to repair a relationship after that wrongdoing. We all need to learn how to apologize.【1】We all make mistakes，and we all have the ability to hurt people. It isn't always easy to apologize，but it's the most effective way to regain trust and balance in a relationship. Here is a four-step framework that you can use when you make an apology.
Every apology needs to start with two magic words: "I'm sorry," or “I apologize." This is essential because these words express regret over your actions. Your words need to be sincere. Be honest about why you want to apologize. 【2】Apologize as soon as you realize that you've wronged someone else.
Next，admit responsibility for your actions or behavior. Here，you need to understand the person you wronged, and show that you understand how you made her feel.【3】 Instead, simply try to put yourself in that person's shoes and imagine how she felt.
【4】When you do so, you take action to make the situation right. For example" If there's anything that I can do to make this up to you, please just ask. "Think carefully about this step. Empty promises will do more harm than good. Because you feel guilty, you might give more than what's appropriate.
Your last step is to explain that you won't repeat the action or behavior. This step is important because you promise that you' re going to change your behavior. This helps you rebuild trust and repair the relationship.【5】 If you promise to change your behavior, but don't follow through, others will question your reputation and your trustworthiness.
A. Don't make assumptions.
B. After all, no one is perfect.
C. Timeliness is also important here.
D. Make up for the damage that was done.
E. We all need to learn how to forgive and forget.
F. You should try to see things from that person's angle.
G. Make sure that you keep your word in the days to come.
28、A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers.
John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”
Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says.
There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says.
There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.”
Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）．
Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.
【1】What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?
A．Ways in which advertisers reach children.
B．The time children spend watching television.
C．Examples of successful advertising to children.
D．The serious problems of advertising to children.
【2】Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?
A．TV ads limit children’s imagination.
B．TV ads affect children’s brain development.
C．Children lack the good sense to make decisions.
D．Children may spend lots of time watching television.
【3】What does Durham say about the food advertised?
A．It’s tasty.
B．It’s cheap.
C．It’s unhealthy.
D．It’s readymade.
【4】What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children?
A．Doubtful.
B．Relaxed.
C．Objective.
D．Unfavorable.
29、A.Chinese college student cycles over 1,000 kilometers in 19 days to encourage environmental protection.
The college student from central China's Hubei province cycled over 1,000 kilometers to Shanghai in 19 days to highlight the importance of environmental protection, receiving high praise from related departments.
Huang Xi's journey started on Aug 3 from Xiaochang county, Hubei, spreading the message of environmental protection to over 5, 000 people along his route.Huang said it was not very easy to start a conversation about environmental protection with strangers."First you have to narrow the distance between you and your audience, " he noted.For instance, he would greet people at the roadside and introduce himself and his plan.He told Shanghai Observer that the environmental issue was not a good conversation opener because not everyone was interested.
Straw burning(秸秆焚烧) was a major focus for Huang since his journey began in summer."Many people don't burn straw because there s a fine, but not many of them know that burning straw actually pollutes the environment,” he said.
Explaining the ban on straw burning, the benefits of sorting of waste as well as the importance of creatures in water and plants protection were the major part of his job on the road.
16 local authorities of environmental protection along Huang's route praised his efforts."Environmental protection calls for not only governmental efforts but also social efforts, " said Chen Bin, an official from Wuhan's environmental department.
Huang shared his experience on social media, which gave him a level of support on his journey.
However, his cycle also drew the bad side of comments.Some said that his journey was only a publicity stunt (作秀), and some even said that in fact, it was a trip that Huang had to make since he ran out of his money at Internet cafes.Huang replied and tried to prove that what they said was not true.
Huang, who studies environmental engineering in college, set off again on Sept 27 to take part in a training camp held by a center of environmental protection in Hubei province."I will will share my experience of the journey, and hope people will pay more attention to the environment.” he said.
