21、Kathy Johnston is so in love with chocolate; she lies awake at night thinking about it. But as chief chocolate officer of Dubai-based chocolatier Mirzam, that’s a healthy focus to have.

Like many other goods, most of Dubai’s chocolate has traditionally been imported, but Mirzam develops home-grown alternative. Johnston joined Mirzam in early 2016 after meeting the company’s founders, who persuaded her to work for them, rather than chasing her original dream of moving to Switzerland, chocolate capital of the world.

At first, the company’s plan was to mainly export its offerings to the U.S. while slowly building a market in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋). But locals quickly accept the company’s unique chocolates, which are known for their Emirati flavors and spices (香料) such as cardamom, almonds and pistachios. That Mirzam works with local artists for its branding and packaging further strengthens its hometown reputation. Nearly as soon as Mirzam’s team opened their doors for tastings, the company sold out all its stock. “We didn’t expect such a strong response locally,” Johnston says. “We had no time to think about export.”

Born in New Zealand, Johnston moved to Dubai when she was 3 years old. Her love of chocolate goes all the way back to her childhood, when she would build ladders out of kitchen chairs to get her mother’s hidden chocolates. She recalls telling her grandfather that her dream was to have her own chocolate factory.

That dream has come true at Mirzam, where Johnston oversees everything from sourcing to production, packaging, and sales. But her true passion is coming up with innovative new sweets, with a focus on integrating traditional Emirati recipes into the company’s offerings.

Recipes like those have helped Mirzam grow at an amazing pace—it had doubled its production capacity every year since opening and increased its staff from one to 75 in five years. Now, Mirzam is still working on “producing amazing-quality chocolate,” Johnston says.

【2】What make the company’s chocolates so popular?

A．Free tastings for new products.

B．Unique flavors to the local taste.

C．Imported sources of high quality.

D．Strong responses to the local market.

【3】What can we learn about Johnston from the text?

A．She was brought up in New Zealand.

B．She owed her dream to her grandfather.

C．She works on opening overseas markets.

D．She takes pleasure in developing new products.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Mirzam: Chocolate Sales Going Local

B．Johnston: “Sweet Dreams” Coming True

C．Cardamom: Emirati Recipes Catching On

D．Dubai: Home-based Businesses Taking Off

23、I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”

Kate and I stayed roommates for rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

24、What's your favorite type of music? Most people may prefer rock and roll, pop or jazz. These types are most publicized by television and the radio. Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop. Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year 2000; however, it did have its peak years just before falling down.

What people may not know is that this type of music inspired(促成) rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music history-Elvis Presley-who is known as the 6/King of Rock and Roll". Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast country music back in the late 1940- s.  Country music is influenced by jazz and blues. Rock music is also influenced by jazz and blues so that they may even seem similar.

Nowadays, country music is closely related to pop music due to artists' preference and popular demand. Starting from the 1980's it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music. Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new understanding of country music actually contains pop and his music just doesn't fit the category. Fortunately, country music is still heavily promoted through websites and reviews.

Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups. Classical for the people in the mid 19th century, pop in the 1920's, and then there's country music. All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups.  More modern country music compositions tend to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country music while they, again, remain appealing only to certain age groups. Active promoters of country music videos, however, seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia, for as long as country music isn't mixed with other types, it will eventually regain its charm as music for all ages.

【1】It can be learned from the first paragraph that country music____.

A. is most publicized by television and the radio

B. used to be liked by more people compared to jazz

C. has become less popular since the year 2000

【2】What is the relationship between rock music and country music?

A. Both types influenced the formation of rock and roll.

B. Presley turned pop music into country music.

C. They are both influenced by jazz and blues.

【3】Some legends of country music began to slip away because____.

A. their songs totally changed the style of country music

B. they began to work on pop music for more profits

C. there is no marketing space for country music anymore

D. they can't meet the popular demands on country music

B. it's necessary for country music to be mixed with other types
