26、Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January,1942.He went to school in St. Albans-a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admitted he wasn’t very serious about studying. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still achieved extremely good marks.
Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20. He started to bump into things, and often fell over for no reason. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for a test. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病), an incurable illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away. Doctors said he would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became extremely depressed. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness had been diagnosed(诊断),there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, where he worked all his life, and had three children. He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.
His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

27、 Last night, I found my mother sit with her legs crossed on the sofa, looking through her iPhone with her glasses. This is not the first time I have caught her like this. My father once tapped (敲) away on his phone with a serious look on his face, saying the “I’ll be with you shortly” line. I have learned by now that this is to tell me to leave him alone for the next 10 minutes. Although they don’t like admitting it, both of my parents couldn’t go without their phones as I do.
Growing up, we are repeatedly reminded that we are those who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them. We are ruining the English language because we like using heart-eyes emojis (表情符号) instead of spelling it out. And even though I can recognize myself as a social media (媒体) addict, I think parents should at least consider that not only the young generation (代), but also they like phones.
I get upset when I receive the “I’ll be with you shortly” line from a parent. But, at the same time, leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with his “serious business” has now become the norm.
Whether you want to escape your noisy children for a while, or want to stay up late tapping through Twitter, all of these are common. But you should fully understand it. We—your children—know how addictive it can be and how difficult it is to turn it off. So before calling us out and telling us to “put our phones away at the table” or even worse, saying how damaging social media can be to us, maybe you should lead by example and consider how much time you spend on the phone as well as how this is influencing your children and your relationship with them. Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.
【1】What can we learn about the author’s parents?
A.They become addicted to phones like him.
B.They’ve been forced to use phones by him.
C.They like buying their phones online at home.
D.They often communicate with him by phone.
【2】What is the young generation’s weakness according to paragraph 2?
A.Having fewer chances to learn social skills.
B.Failing to express themselves in a right way.
C.Getting angry easily when facing their parents.
D.Giving up the ways of communicating directly.
【3】What does the underlined word “norm” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fixed tradition. B.Accepted behavior.
C.Expected decision. D.Unforgettable experience.
【4】What advice is given to parents in the last paragraph?
A.Behaving well in front of children. B.Putting the phones away at the table.
C.Taking more time to stay with children. D.Having good communication with children.
28、 There are no hard and fast rules that say you must exercise in the morning to reach your weight loss or fitness goals. 【1】 Here are some tips to keep you active and ready for your nighttime workouts.
Work out Close to the Office
Ideally, you would want to wear your workout clothes under your work clothes to keep you in the mindset all day. But, if your job requires you to wear heels and a skirt or a suit and tie, this might not be reasonable. Instead, bring your workout clothes to work with you and change before you leave the office. 【2】
Plan Your Evening Meal
If you are responsible for making dinner in your household, don’t let that be an excuse to skip the gym. This is why slow-cookers were invented. 【3】 Having a meal waiting at home for you not only takes away the stress of planning a meal when you walk in the door, but it decreases the chances of you blowing your workout.
Choose a Workout for Your Mood
【4】 Consider something different, maybe the stair climber. Walk around the gym and see what attracts you, forcing yourself to take part in a workout that doesn’t attract your mood will only lead to a waste of your time.
【5】
While there are some people who can walk into the gym and just get started most people need a project. Sometime, during the day when you have a moment, make a list of the exercises you hope to accomplish.
A.Plan your workout.
B.Take a special class.
C.There are many benefits for working out at night.
D.Working out at night is a better choice for a lot of people.
E.They were designed to help people manage their time and create healthy meals.
F.The surest way to fail at a workout is to choose something you sincerely hate.
G.Place your gym bag or your clothes where you can see them all day.

Is Fast Fashion Taking Over?
The fashion industry has changed significantly in recent years. Traditionally, fashion retailers(零售商) created two clothing collections per year, called seasons. Nowadays, in contrast, they can design and manufacture(生产) clothes in as little as four weeks. Fast Fashion means that the latest designs shown at the fashion shows in Paris, London, New York, and Milan can be coped and sold in shopping malls within a month.
The advantages of rapidly changing fashions are clear. Shortening the life cycle of a product means that if a design doesn’t sell well within a week, it is taken out of the stores and replaced with a new one. This is good for manufacturers, as it means a greater volume of sales. It is also good for customers, who can keep up with fast-moving trends cheaply and who can enjoy finding something new every time they visit the store.
However, there are also a number of disadvantages to the fast-fashion approach. Perhaps the biggest concern is the impact of wasted clothes on the environment. The low cost of most fast fashion enables shoppers to buy several new sets of clothes each season. This means that huge amounts of clothing are thrown away. Furthermore, with fashions changing so quickly, cotton growers need to produce more cotton more cheaply, and that means using more pesticides and chemicals. A third problem is the theft of ideas. Fashion houses invest a lot of time and money in new designs, only to see these ideas stolen and copied by fast-fashion companies.
In short, these days it seems that the fashion industry is changing almost as fast as the fashion it produces. What do you think of this?
