21、   It was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic （流行病）was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. "Social Distancing" had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise, It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.

My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."

I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and in all the days to come.

C.We should ask more people to help us in bad times.

22、   Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation. The “quality” newspapers are often held up as an example of impartial journalism, but the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express usually impress newspapermen even more because they both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and frequently take two or three on Sundays, but the vast circulation figures obtained are not only due to the Englishman’s thirst for news.Because the newspapers are all published nationally, copies can be delivered everywhere at the same time.

Though people abroad often know the names of the national papers, they seldom realize that there is another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance and many of them are very profitable.

These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events — births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports — but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve. Editors prefer to rely on a small staff of people who all know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighbourhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news. If there is no room for it in this week’s edition, an item can sometimes be held until the following week.

The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items are carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are grateful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye.

Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely hold with taking sides on political questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

【1】The Daily Mirror impresses newspapermen more because_____.

A.it has a larger circulation than many other famous papers

B.it is of better quality than many other papers

D.it is delivered everywhere in Britain

【2】Local papers are preferred by readers who_____.

A.are interested in news B.are much interested in local events

C.want to get news as quickly as possible D.work in churches and clubs

【3】According to the passage,businessmen would like to advertise in papers if _____.

A.the papers are well written B.the news items are carefully chosen

C.the news involves them D.the papers are popular and can attract readers

【4】The last paragraph implies(暗示)that ______.

A.local papers seldom comment on politics

B.local papers can sometimes influence policy making

C.local papers are more concerned about their own communities

D.local papers do not take sides on problems of national importance

23、   Too much work and too much wine go together like biscuits and cheese, a new international study finds.

Employees who work more than 48 hours a week are 11% more likely to over consume wine than those who work a standard week, Finnish researchers say.

The study looked at more than 300,000 people in Australia, Europe and North America. No differences were seen between men and women, says the study.

Risky wine consumption is considered as more than 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 drinks a week for men. About 20% of Australians drink at travels that put them at the risk of life time harm from injury or disease.

Drinking wine can affect the liver(肝脏)or cause brain damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and increases the risk of many cancers.

Study author Marianna Virtanen said while wine might help reduce the stress of working long periods of time, risky consumption could lead to difficulties in the workplace, such as poor performance.

The European Union Working Time Directive makes sure that workers in EU countries have the right to work no more than 48 hours a week, including overtime.

"But many people, for example well-educated managers and professionals, work much longer hours to achieve faster promotions, income increases, and more control over work and employment, ” said Prof. Virtanen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

In Australia, it's recommended that healthy men and women drink no more than two standard drinks a day.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the harm of drinking wine?

A.It can do damage to the brain.

B.It may bring about high blood pressure.

C.It may contribute to working overtime.

D.It can add to the risk of many cancers.

【2】From the passage, we can infer that   .

A.the study was carried out all over the world

B.Australians drink more wine than Europeans

C.workers in EU countries have to work 48 hours a week

D.many people work longer hours for certain purposes

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Long work hours and alcohol abuse are linked.

B.Working long period of time will do harm to our health.

C.To keep healthy men and women should not drink wine.

D.Many workers drink more wine than they should.

24、   What to cook when you have guests? I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells(小心翼翼） when I have to prepare a dinner party for new friends or people I don't know well. 【1】 Others can't stand a particular vegetable. And even puddings have their critics(批评者）。Attitudes towards food can be formed during childhood and have an impact on the rest of their lives.

Take President George Bush senior for example. He had been forced by his mother to eat broccoli(西兰花）since he was a kid. So, upon taking office he banned the vegetable aboard Air Force One. 【2】Dr Emma Uprichard from the University of Warwick published a study on food hates. 【3】 They don't like milk puddings---semolina and rice pudding-often associated with school dinners of the 50s and 60s.

But it's not only bad memories that make us tun our noses up at certain foods. 【4】 Scientists researching genetic differences say there are various groups of "tasters". The one they call "super tasters" are more likely to have a strong dislike for bitter foods such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts(抱子甘蓝）。I always keep my fingers crossed that none of my dinner party guests are in this group.

【5】The British don't eat horse meat. Brazilians like a black bean stew(炖菜）with pork which, in the experience of a Brazilian cooking for friends here in London, isn't popular with Kurdish people.

So you understand a cook's dilemma when he has guests unfamiliar to him..

A．There are biological reasons too.

B．Food is to man what water is to fish.

C．And food is about cultural diversity too.

D．Everyone prefers healthy food to fast food.

E．Some eaters are particular and don't like cheese.

F．It revealed common patterns in foods the British reject.

G．This left a bitter taste in the mouths of farmers producing it.
