26、   My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. We had a wonderful time and made lots of sweet memories together, but unexpectedly, I learned something as we made our way through the parks.

Our four grandchildren were excited about the attraction where children can drive the cars. Since our party was uneven (不均匀的) in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed down to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.

As I waited for my gang to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7. They rolled down the hill at the beginning, and then the car stopped. The young driver looked panicked, “I can’t do it.” His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”

“No. I can’t!”  “Yes, you can, son.”

The little guy was almost in tears, “I CAN’T!” With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I’m going to help you.” Then he talked him through pushing the gas pedal (油门踏板) and driving the car. Mere moments later with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.

The scene brought tears to my eyes. That sweet whispered to my soul, “Yes, you can”. Then every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I would think “You can”.

Time and time again, the words patiently encouraged me on the journey. That’s where the true strength comes in. I am aware that I can not do things under my own power, but the words “Yes, you can” come beside me and provide wisdom and strength. There’s no way I can fail. Are you struggling with something today? Have the “I can’t” moments taken over? You can trust the words “Yes, you can”.

27、   A group of 75 female volunteers from India’s Odisha state has spent every day of the last 20 years patrolling(巡逻) a 75-hectare forest to protect it from illegal woodcutters.

In 1999, the eastern state of Odisha was hit by a supercyclone (超级飓风). “Our homes and standing crops were destroyed. There was no food or clothing for days,” 52-year-old Charulata Biswal, a volunteer forest protector, told Mongabay-India. “But we realized it was because of the surviving forest that many people in Gundalba, a small village, were still alive. We promised we would protect the forest in return and restore the biodiversity.”

Groups of women patrol the forest at least twice a day. As they walk among the trees, they blow their whistles and bang wooden sticks against tree trunks. “We beat our sticks and patrol in groups of 10,” Biswal said. “We spread out inside the forest and blow whistles. Anyone with the intention to harm the local biodiversity will flee on hearing our whistle and the banging of our sticks on tree trunks.”

In 2001, over 70 women from Gundalba came together to form the Women’s Forest Protection Committee. Apart from their daily patrols, they also approached neighboring villages that also depend on the forest for firewood about setting up a system for sustainability (可持续性). For example, every village is allowed to gather firewood from the forest on a set day of the month, usually a few days after another settlement has finished the gathering process.

Over the years, they have caught several people cutting trees illegally in the forest. Asked if they have ever been afraid of patrolling the large forest they said no. “The forest is an extension of our home,” Biswal said. “Won’t it hurt to see your children suffer? This is how a mother feels and we are doing something that comes to us naturally.”

Thanks to the women’s efforts, the forest gradually came back to life. Birds started nesting in trees again and the animals returned.

【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A.To introduce the natural disaster in India.

B.To show what people in Gundalba did to survive.

C.To explain why the women decided to patrol the forest.

【2】Why do the women whistle and bang the sticks?

A.To attract more birds and animal.

B.To relax themselves during their work.

C.To make themselves brave to go among the forest.

D.To warn people meaning to damage the forest to leave.

【3】What did the Committee do after its foundation?

A.They gathered firewood from other forests.

B.They reduced the time for patrolling the forest.

C.They adopted environment-friendly woodcutting methods.

D.They stopped neighboring villages from cutting their trees.

【4】How does Charulata Biswal feel about the forest?

A.It is like her family. B.It will take long to recover.

C.It has lost some natural functions. D.It suffers a lot from illegal cutting.

28、

A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets, due in large part to their convenience and ease of use. E-wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology.With major players like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular, it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.

CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced a day in Beijing without his wallet."In China's largest cities,you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards-as long as you've got your smartphone."He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete.

Unlike the situations in the US and other countries,"China doesn't have a really money-making credit card system,so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments."Gu Yu,co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife,told CNN.He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments."No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen.electronic receipts,the ease of keeping track of spending-and of course,no wallet taking up space."he said.

However, if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend a lot of things will have to change over the coming years.Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets. Linda Barrabee, research director for NPD Connected Intelligence, said in a statement."In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions and commerce,wireless carriers,credit card companies,and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient,simple,and secure for consumers."

【1】More consumers tend to use e-wallets because they are .

A．fashionable

C．handy

D．economic

【2】Paul Ripley's example is used mainly to show that .

A．Smartphone payments are available in every part of China now.

B．Life in Beijing has become the most advanced in the world

C．You can buy anything you want using mobile payments in Beijing.

D．Mobile payments are popular in large cities in China like Beijing

【3】Which of the following statement is NOT rue according to the passage?

A．There will be no more cash or credit card payments in the near future.

B．Digital-wallets will save up much space in your bag when you go out.

C．How people consider digital wallets will influence the popularity of digital wallet

D．The Chinese credit card system has partly caused the popularity of digital wallets

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

D．E-commerce companies will make great profits by using e-wallets in the future.

29、   Many of us devote valuable time, energy and money to planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. 【1】

Yet, although there are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great. 【2】 A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory, but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences. 【3】 Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.

【4】 Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive. 【5】

A．Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally.

B．Thirdly, means of transportation is another big headache.

C．In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.

D．Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.

E．Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues.

F．Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and fight against depression.

G．Above all, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings.
