26、Building Trust in a Relationship Again

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.【1】Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.【2】It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, what can you do?【3】

●Learn to really trust yourself. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.

●【4】If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality". At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.

● You didn’t lose "everything". Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.【5】 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A．It is putting confidence in someone.

B．Believe in yourself.

C．Here are some tips for you.

D．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

E．They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.

F．Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened

G．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

27、   Over the past months,dozens of carmakers have launched models online,and tens of thousands of dealerships across the country are selling cars via livestreaming(直播）.

As Chinese customers always have their smartphones at their side,they have been accustomed to shopping online. Moreover,the sales are made better received by virtual showrooms where customers can see the vehicles and interact(互动）in real-time about their prices and equipment.

To cater to the new trend,car salespeople need new skills in this world. Good product knowledge remains the basis,but if you want to be successful,you have to appear in livestreams like a type of TV presenter.

“Car salespeople are becoming entertainers,"said Michael Mayer,head of sales and marketing for Volkswagen brand in China. “The competition is tough,"he added. "Those who want to be found must always offer something new. "

The contest soon escalated. In March,British brand Land Rover came up with a 30-hour livestreaming event,during which its new Discovery Sport was launched. GM' s Cadillac invited online celebrities(名人）to help sell vehicles in April.

In China,a young man named Li Jiaqi is believed to know lipstick better than anyone else.  Almost every night,millions of girls and ladies wait for him to appear online and introduce new lipsticks. Li was invited in April to help market Cadillac' s CT4. Despite the huge number of online viewers,none of them placed an order on the vehicle priced around 200,000 yuan.

Another online celebrity named Weiya helped attract orders for Roewe RX5 plus:4,180 were sold in 30 seconds. The key,said industry insiders,was the discount.  Christine,a marketing manager of an international carmaker tells China Daily that she believes livestreaming with online celebrities won't help sales. "In fact,if you give dealers the same discount,they may sell even faster,"she said. "A lipstick is affordable for anyone,while a car is different. But bosses do not want their brands to remain silent,especially when others are seemingly having a good time. "

Some bosses decided to try it themselves. Nio Chairman Li Bin explained products. The 40-minute live show on May 18 brought in a total of 320 orders,5,288 test-drive appointments and sales valuing 128 million yuan. Orders continued to grow after the show and sales reached  nearly 150 million yuan by the next day. WM President Shen Hui rapped unskillfully. Its online launch on May 10 obtained 1,400 million views. In two days it received over 4,000 orders,and more than 30,000 people showed interest in the model.

He Xiaopeng,founder of Xpeng Motor,said“Many people ask me when Xpeng will do livestreaming. I am worried that it will become a data-falsifying show. Everyone knows that the data is exaggerated(夸张）。But if you do not do it,you will feel you fall behind. "

Mayer said digitalization will continue,but that does not mean Volkswagen will make online sales the standard. He said it is more important to digitalize further process steps and thus work in a more customer-friendly and cost-effective manner.

【1】Why is selling cars via livestreaming so popular according to the passage?

A.It is an avoidable trend that all car companies applaud.

B.Companies can make the biggest profit via livestreaming.

C.Vehicles sold online work in. a more customer-friendly manner.

【2】As car salespeople,what basic skill should they own?

A.Entertaining audience well.

B.Knowing the cars for sale well.

C.Making themselves famous.

D.Appearing like TV presenters.

【3】The underlined word"escalated”in Paragraph 5 probably means

A.became less serious

B.sprang up everywhere

C.became increasingly fierce

D.disappeared gradually

【4】All of the following have done livestreaming EXCEPT

B.Xpeng Motor

B.Car salespeople can sell better than online celebrities.

C.The lipstick and the car share the same target customers.

D.She thinks highly of livestreaming with online celebrities.

28、   Originating back in 1869 in Cincinnati, Ohio, baseball has been a game played and loved by millions for nearly 150 years. From its origin to the present day, there have been hundreds of fantastic baseball players who have gone on to inspire new players. Here are our top inspirational baseball stars.

Pride served as a strong-armed outfielder between 1993 and 2006, playing on seven different teams throughout his baseball career.

29、   Construction on Knolly’s Tunnel began in 1896, and it was opened on August 13th, 1898 by the man it was named after--Sir Clement C. Knolly, Acting Governor of Trinidad. It linked Rio Claro with Port of Spain. Its architecture is still admired and studied today, and many are amazed that Knolly’s Tunnel has stood up to the earth’s movement over so many years.

Much research is being done on the tunnel. At the top of Knolly’s Tunnel are cottages covered with leaves, where visitors can sit and enjoy the beauty of nature. Standing at the beginning of Knolly’s Tunnel, you can see nothing but the tiny light at the end. The train tracks have been removed and replaced with small stones. Visitors can drive through the tunnel or walk through, but should do so in groups for safety. In the old days, there were no lights, but now there are street lights on the way to the tunnel, though not inside.

On your way in, you may notice some manholes on the walls of the tunnel. These were there for individuals to step into for safety as the train passed. Knolly’s Tunnel can be accessed through Tabaquite and through Mitchell Gap. The road was recently improved, but is better when you enter from Tabaquite, and there are signs on the road directing you to Knolly’s Tunnel.

On the drive to Knolly’s Tunnel there are two other cottages where visitors can sit and just enjoy nature. At the site itself, there is nothing to purchase to eat or drink, but in Tabaquite there are several bars, a restaurant, and food outlets. A gas station and a health centre are also close by.

For those who admire architecture, Knolly’s Tunnel is a must-see when visiting Trinidad. For the nature lovers, there is no better place for them to be and for the historians, they can walk or drive through Knolly’s Tunnel knowing that many of our ancestors toiled (worked hard) on its structure.

The Sundance Film Festival 【1】 boycotts all Hollywood films, and we don’t foresee ever including them.

Redford has acted in and directed many big Hollywood films, but wanted to 【5】 the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system

35、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

36、

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?

Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.

This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.

So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?

With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.

Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us.

A third-grade class knows exactly what will brighten an older neighbor’s holiday meal-and it isn’t a roast turkey. In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money, ”I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”

I wanted the children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological (神学的) ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.

Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn’t wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart (购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a “necessity” that sent them racing. “Flowers!”

“We have Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, limited money and after all, you can’t eat flowers.”“But Mrs. Sherlock, ” the group replied, looking at me eagerly, “we want flowers.”Defeated, sighed as the children put a bunch of pink roses into the cart.

An organization had given us the name and address of Maria, a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. Soon we were bouncing along a rough road to her house. We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.

My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying “Thanks”一much to the visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.

As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window.

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

Life is a series of choices and we can't always foresee the consequences.

Hary Saleem, an obese man with too much money and power, faced a choice. Outside his office waited his personal doctor, bringing him vital news about the only medicine that could save his life. On the other side of the world, one of his engineers waited for his decision on an important matter of business.

His secretary asked whether she could bring the doctor in. The billionaire businessman made his decision. “No, let the fool wait” shouted Saleem, angrily. “Business comes first.” Despite the health problem caused by his huge weight, he was still obsessed with making money. He raised a fat finger, and one of his staff hurried to switch on a large television set.

The screen flashed to life, and Saleem's engineer appeared. The man talked by satellite directly to his master although they were thousands of miles apart. “I's all ready to blow, Mr. Saleem,” he said. “Just say the word.”

His engineer was standing above Pakan Valley in South America. A few months ago, it had been a rainforest. Then Saleem's men had come, cutting down all the valuable plants and forcing the villagers to move out. Across the bottom of the valley, a dam had been built. This would provide power for the factories that Saleem planned to build in that area. The factories would bring him vast profits.

He saw no reason to delay. He ordered the engineer to press the button. And then a cloud of dust rose up, followed shortly by a dull explosion. A large river changed its course and water flooded into the doomed Pakan Valley.

“Good, that's that. Now, get that doctor in here,” he commanded. The doctor came in with a worried look and started to examine his wealthy patient. “You are doing very well, Mr. Saleem,” he said finally. “The new medicine is saving your life. The only difficulty is getting more of it.”
