26、As the saying goes, “No man is an island.” 【1】If you don’t, you will have a much harder time attracting luck and getting what you want. If you do, you can have more time to do the things you really want or get through a difficult or unpleasant period of time.

【2】 Show your kindness and generosity to them, and they will return the favor. The Law of Reciprocity(互惠) works like a charm. Your mother may have told you many things that fall under this law when you were a kid. For instance, she may have told you that if you wanted friends, you needed to be friendly. Your mother actually was telling you about the Law of Reciprocity without you or her even knowing about it. 【3】 The more you help others gain what they are looking for, the more you will be helped. It may not seem like this is the case on the surface, but you can not give without receiving back.

【4】 Do acts of kindness unconditionally. Don’t demand from others, saying something like, “I have done so many favors for you, and now I want you to return the favor.” 【5】 Just do good things. Even if people don’t remember or appreciate what you have done, the universe will certainly give you the reward that you deserve.

A．So how can you get help from others?

B．Thus you don’t have to take the trouble to do things by yourself.

C．No, that’s not the way.

D．So always depend on people you can trust.

E．In fact, the Law of Reciprocity will help you achieve a lot of success.

F．It’s true that in order to succeed, you have to get help from other people.

G．However, don’t go about being nice expecting something in return.

28、   When it comes to travelling around Europe, it's important to have a budget in mind. Here are some tips for getting the most out of Germany while saving your money.

Transport

Transport is “the big one” and cycling may be the cheapest alternative among all the modes(方式) of transport.

Tom Bourlet, a Brighton-based travel blogger at Spaghetti Traveller, talked to us about transport in Germany and advised that slower, regional(区域的) trains will be more affordable in comparison to those that are high-speed.

He continued, “If choosing a train journey, buy the ticket several months in advance to get a great offer.”

If you intend to use the Eurostar train, keep in mind that you can save money by buying tickets at least a week in advance. Shopping around can also offer reduced prices. A daily or weekly card for a train or a bus may also be worth investing in. Bourlet continues, “While the trains run like clock-work with high efficiency, the buses run relatively slowly, often arriving late to their destination.”

Ask a travel agent

In an age of technology, we don't always consider going to a travel agent when booking on holiday. If you do, ask them for recommendations, they can give you insider tips. Make sure that they are aware of your set budget before signing up to anything.

Food

Region to region, Germany's cuisine will differ slightly. As a general rule, outside the city centre will be cheaper—the further you go, the less expensive it is. Bear this in mind when setting a daily budget for your meals.

Landmarks

Make sure you book your tickets for the landmarks before your trip as there's likely to be a discount when you do this. You may also want to consider a guided tour which is often free.

Before you go

Make sure you buy currency before you leave. This could prevent you being charged extra for withdrawing money and you're more likely to get a good exchange rate.

【1】Which transport is probably the cheapest to travel in Germany?

A.Regional trains. B.High-speed trains.

C.City buses. D.Bicycles.

【2】What can we know about the Eurostar train?

A.It runs relatively slowly.

B.The meals on it must be expensive.

C.Travelers can enjoy a discount when shopping around.

D.Booking tickets three days in advance may save your money.

【3】In which section of a website may the text appear?

A.Travel. B.Lifestyle.

C.Science. D.Entertainment.

29、   When the men appeared then bearing this old music-box, and Amelia gave orders should be placed in the chamber, William Dobbin was quite overjoyed. “I'm glad you've kept it,” he said in a very sad manner. “I was afraid you didn't care about it.”

“I value it more than anything I have in the world,” said Amelia.

“Do you, Amelia?” cried the Major. The fact was, as he had bought it himself, though he never said anything about it, it never entered into his head to suppose that Emmy should think anybody else was the purchaser, and as a matter of course he fancied that she knew the gift came from him. “Do you, Amelia?” he said; and the question, the great question of all, was trembling on his lips, when Emmy replied, “Can I do otherwise?- did not he give it to me?”

“I did not know,” said poor old Dob, and his countenance (脸色) fell.

Emmy did not note the circumstance at the time, nor take immediate notice of the very miserable expression which honest Dobbin's countenance assumed, but she thought of it afterwards. And then it struck her, with inexpressible pain and embarrassment too, that it was William who was the giver of the piano, and not George, as she had fancied. It was not George’s gift; the only one which she had received from her lover, as she thought-the thing she had cherished beyond all others-her dearest relic and prize. She had spoken to it about George, played his favourite airs upon it: sat for long evening hours, touching, to the best of her simple art, sad harmonies on the keys, and weeping over them in silence. It was not George’s relic. It was valueless now. The next time that old Sedley asked her to play, she said it was shockingly out of tune, that she had a headache, that she couldn’t play.

Then, according to her custom, she scolded herself for her pettishness (任性) and ingratitude and determined to do something for honest William for the slight she had not expressed to him, but had felt for his piano. A few days afterwards, as they were seated in the drawing-room, where Jos had fallen asleep with great comfort after dinner, Amelia said with rather a broken voice to Major Dobbin. “I have to beg your pardon for something.”

“About what?” said he.

“About-about that little square piano. I never thanked you for it when you gave it to me, many, many years ago, before I was married. I thought somebody else had given it. Thank you. William.” She held out her hand, but the poor little woman’s heart was bleeding; and as for her eyes, of course they were at their work.

But William could hold no more.

【1】Why was Dobbin surprisingly glad to see the old music-box?

A．Because he liked to see Amelia playing.

B．Because he hadn't thought Amelia valued it.

C．Because he found Amelia had accepted his love secretly.

D．Because he believed Amelia had found out his secret.

【2】Why did it pain and embarrass Amelia after she thought of Dobbin’s miserable expression?

A．She had let Dobbin down and felt sorry for him.

B．She was left in the dark by George for so long.

C．She had thought the piano was given by George.

D．She found George loved her no more than Dobbin.

【3】The underlined part “and as for her eyes, of course they were at their work” probably means ________.

A．her eyes welled up with tears

B．she gave William the glad eye

C．her eyes lighted up with excitement

D．she looked William up and down

【4】What would William probably do next?

A．Ask Amelia to return the piano.

B．Hurt Amelia without mercy.

C．Leave Amelia alone.

D．Pour out his love for Amelia.

Why Cold weather Causes So many Flight Cancellation?

Each year, about 60,000 flights get canceled because of bad winter weather, which costs airlines and airports an estimated $3 billion. But it’s not the freezing cold temperatures that cause problems for planes. After all, 【1】 jets fly 10 kilometers up, where temperatures hover around -50 degrees Celsius.

In fact, planes 【2】 in cold weather, since cold air is denser and leads to better thrust. Clearly, the real problem isn’t what’s going on up there. It’s what’s happening on the ground.

When a 【3】 polar vortex (极地涡旋) struck the Midwestern US in January 2019, temperatures dropped to -40 degrees Celsius and airline canceled 3,000 flights nationwide. In these situations, when temperatures start 【4】, everything slows down. Cargo doors can freeze up, along with the nozzles that pump fuel into planes, which delays the 【5】 process.

Even the plane itself can freeze over. Just a quarter-inch - thick layer of ice on a plane can disrupt the way air flows over its wings.

Les Westbrooks: The number one reason, I would say, that the reason flights get delayed in cold weather is going to be because there’s some kind of frozen precipitation, from frost to snow to a sheet of ice, adhering to the aircraft, adhering to the wings of the aircraft 【6】.

That’s Les Westbrooks, a retired airline pilot and an associate professor of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He says that 【7】, these planes are “de-iced” - but this also delays takeoff. The crew can spray the plane with a special hot water/ glycol mixture. It can take around 40 minutes to de-ice large passenger airplanes, so planes often have to wait “their turn” for the de-icing station, which, of course, can trigger more delays.

And ice on the runway, of course, creates another set of 【8】. In 2014, a plane at JFK skidded off an icy runway and into a mound of snow, leading to an hours-long shutdown at the airport. And even though crews can remove ice from the runway, scraping it off the pavement can lead to potholes (坑洞) and other 【9】, which makes takeoffs and landings more dangerous. And of course, snow and freezing rain on the ground can affect visibility to the point where officials have to decide it’s not safe to fly at all.

But if ice and snow aren’t the problem in these extremely cold temperatures, it’s usually another factor: people.

Les Westbrooks: The airplane flies at high altitudes, -60 degrees. It’s made to do that. Humans are not made to be outside in -60 degrees weather. And so the human factor becomes a big, big factor, when it becomes extremely cold.

Baggage handlers, aircraft fuelers, and mechanics all have to stay warm. Some airports, like O’Hare in Chicago, set up heated shelters for their employees. Of course, with everyone taking breaks to warm up, not as much gets done, which leads to even more delays and cancellations. Passengers start missing their 【10】 flights, and that, along with passengers who can’t make it to the airport due to bad road conditions, leads to half-empty planes.

In fact, many airlines might preemptively cancel flights before bad weather even hits. So, in the end, you can still blame cold weather for cancelling your flight.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.
