26、In America, the following secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth your adventure.

Cummins Falls

Looking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic, 75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee’s eighth-largest waterfall.

Sliding Rock

A popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.

Mooney Falls

It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawl through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.

Lihue Estate

A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.

27、When lock downs began in March, the retailer (零售商) saw customer behavior go through five years’ worth of evolution in just five weeks, says White Side. Consumer needs changed on almost a daily basis early on. First, toilet paper and cleaning supplies were the focus. Then there was a shift to at-home activities and personal grooming (梳妆) and finally to home improvement. “We saw that the pandemic was changing the way that customers shop,” says White Side. “And we knew that we had to deliver something that allowed them to get access to goods quickly.”

The brand responded with innovations like two-hour Express Delivery and the Walmart membership program. Meanwhile, existing innovations like digital payment service Walmart Pay and road side pickup were more valuable than ever because they provide con tactless experiences. White Side says Walmart also considered its role in U. S. Communities during an unusual summer, which was the beginning of a virtual camp and the transformation of 160 parking lots into drive-in movie theaters. “We’re really proud to be a company that is focused on being there for our customers in any way we can, not just for their day-to-day supplies, but as a partner in their life,” she says.

This past February, Walmart debuted its first official Super Bowl ad, which showcased the convenience of road side pickup with famous faces like Buzz Light year, martins from Mars Attacks.

In April, with the pandemic darkening the national mood, Walmart launched an ad featuring Walmart employees singing the Bill Withers song “Lean on Me” as a message of hope. The company has now achieved great success, with the e-commerce sales rising 97 %.

“We’re going to continue to evolve how you engage with Walmart,” says White Side. “We’re going to continue to evolve how we tell our story through our customers and through our associates with the aim of creating those emotional connections that go beyond just buying stuff.”

A．A delivery worker.

B．A music composer.

C．A movie promoter.

D．A marketing officer.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Being there for the customers.

B．Focusing on changing.

C．Achieving commercial success.

D．Removing dark mood.

28、For some people gratitude comes naturally; other people may have to actively think about being grateful for what they have. But it doesn’t matter how you get there as long as you do. 【1】 These are several benefits that it can bring you:

Make you feel better about yourself

Being grateful for what you have could reduce social comparisons about money and success. These comparisons can lower self-esteem (自尊心). 【2】 It is likely that being grateful helps people focus on the positive things and puts them in a better condition of mind.

Improve social relationships

【3】. Expressing thankfulness to the people you are close to for the contributions they have made has been linked to happy relationships. In other people’s eyes, you are a kind person to get along with.

May improve your health

A study found that grateful people are more likely to say that they are in good physical health. The researchers found people who express gratitude are more likely to take part in healthy activities and ask for medical help when they need it. 【4】

Make you more empathetic (能产生共鸣的)

Gratitude is a good act. It can make you a more empathetic person. 【5】 For example, to get students to better understand others’ feelings, a Canadian education project brings babies into the classroom to teach the students to care for others.

29、New App Helps People Remember Faces

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “ It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody, ” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.

The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “ face blindness, ” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.

Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “ there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you. ”

【1】Social Recall is used to ________ .

A．take photos

B．identify people

C．organize events

D．make friends

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________ .

A．how the app works

B．how the app was created

C．what makes the app popular

D．what people can do with the app

【3】Social Recall helps people with prosopagnosia by________.

A．giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B．collecting information previously entered in the phone

C．providing the information of a person when they first meet

D．showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face

【4】What can we infer about Social Recall according to Ann Cavoukian?

A．It may put people’s privacy under threat.

B．It has caused unintended consequences.

C．It can prevent some communication disorders.

D．It is praised by all users for its protective measures.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration   but an   antique(古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favorite thing. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together quickly and put the vase back to its place.

As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious(怀疑的) looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.

Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study   at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.

In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
