21、   Looking at his beautiful green lawns, Ed Adams can’t help smiling – thanks to a bit of bravery and a lot of hard work, he’s now enjoying the life that is just a fantasy for most of us.

Five years ago, Ed and his wife Laura, along with their three children, moved from their narrow house in the city to the a much larger and more peaceful property in the country. Having grown up on a farm, Ed, a video producer, longed for a more rural lifestyle. Then, in 2016, a new job came up for Ed in the US. They were about to set off when the whole deal was canceled. Although disappointed, it inspired them to buy a new home in rural north Buckinghamshire.

Soon, the whole family moved to their new home, Church End Cottage. They also came up with a plan to turn some of their extra space into an attractive home hotel to increase their family income, which meant lots of building work to create two extra guest rooms.

Besides, with all the building work, the garden had become a mess. To get it back into shape, he had to reseed all the lawns. In time the lawns grew back, but Ed admits keeping them clean and tidy is a big job, especially on top of his daily commute to work in London and the responsibilities of running the home hotel.

Now, there comes a cutting-edge robotic mower. Rather than spending hours working up and down, he is delighted to find he can relax himself while the mower does all the hard work. For Ed, who also has a dog and keeps chickens, the biggest attraction is being able to get so much time back. He says: “Instead of spending boring hours pushing the mower, I can take time to plant the flowerbeds or help out with the hotel. It also means I can spend more time with the kids.”

【1】What does the word “bravery” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The decision to move to a rural area. B.The decision to open a home hotel.

C.The chance to move to the US. D.The dream of living in a rural area.

【2】Why did they decide to open a home hotel?

A.They wanted to serve guests.

B.They wanted to add to their income.

C.They wanted to make full use of their space.

D.They wanted to have more people in their house.

【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A.Ed finds it easy to keep the lawns tidy.

B.Ed is completely running the home hotel now.

C.The robotic mower can do the work by itself.

D.With the help of the robotic mower, Ed can do fewer other things.

22、We have a family tradition where each year, on New Year’s Eve, we sit down and go through old albums. This year, when we were doing this annual routine, I noticed my grandmother looked shorter now than in pictures from when she was younger.

Our height decreases with age. The height that most of us boosts during our teens and twenties suddenly decides to leave us behind as we get increasingly older. So we see our parents and grandparents “shrinking”.

This loss in height is observed in both males and females and across continents. Aging is universal; so too is our gradual reduction in height. People typically begin losing their height around the age of 30 years. Every ten years after this age, humans lose almost one centimeter, which roughly translates to about one half of an inch. This decrease in height also accelerates with age. Men and women lose height differently. Women lose more inches compared to males of the same age. Also, interestingly enough, the rate of height loss depends on their initial height, with the taller ones losing more height.

The length of leg bones and the spine determine the height of a person. These normally attain their maximum length by the end of adolescence, after which one’s height does not increase. During our “adult phase”, the length of the leg bones remains pretty much the same, but the spinal bones tend to play a key role in the reduction of height. Besides, the ligaments of the foot start degenerating with age. This arches our foot down. Thus, our height may reduce slightly. In addition, the body loses its lean mass muscle with age due to, in part, loss of muscle tissues. This condition is age-related loss of muscle. The muscle fibers shrink and are replaced at a slower rate. This muscle loss makes us look shorter.

Nothing can really push the stop button, but it can lose some speed through appropriate diet, regular exercise, and general avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.

【1】Why does the author mention his family tradition?

A．To indicate the value of family.

B．To analyze a complicated issue.

C．To introduce the topic of the text.

D．To share his interesting experiences.

【2】Who probably loses height the most?

A．A tall 70-year-old man.

B．A short 50-year-old woman.

C．A tall eighty-year-old woman.

D．A mid-height eighty-year-old man.

【3】What changes will mainly determine the height decrease?

A．Spinal bones.

B．Muscle tissues.

C．Leg bones.

D．Foot ligaments.

【4】What can be known about the height reduction?

A．It can be stopped.

B．It can affect health.

C．It can change lifestyle.

D．It can be slowed down.

24、Tips for Better Conversations in English at Work

When we are learning a new language, carrying on a conversation can be difficult. 【1】 Here are four strategies for you to consider.

Predict

The first strategy is to predict what you will hear. Maybe your customers sometimes say they have problems with placing an order on your website. You can think about what words they often use in that kind of conversation.【2】

Concentrate

The next strategy is to prepare a list of those words and listen for them when a customer begins talking with you. 【3】 The next time you are listening to a customer, pay attention to the key words.

Ask

Next, let customers know you need a little help understanding them. 【4】 At the beginning of the conversation, you can ask, "Would you please speak more slowly?" The other kind of question is "asking to clarify". Remember, you predicted some of the words your customers may use. You should listen closely for those words. When you hear one, you can ask the customer a short question to he sure. "Did you say you want to order?"

Practice

You can prepare your answers to customers' questions and practice them in your free time. You may want to keep a notebook with your usual answers. 【5】

A．There are two questions you can ask.

B．This is called "focusing when you listen".

C．You can practice saying them out loud to yourself.

D．Questions are useful when you meet for the first time.

E．For example, customers may often use the word "order".

F．Remember to keep a good relationship with your customers.

G．It is even harder when you try to do a job well using the new language.
