26、In order to save money on groceries, you can try the following ways which will help you cut $100 out of grocery bill every month without too much effort.

【1】 Convenience lets you save time for other things you need to get done. Although pre-made items may save your time, they cost a pretty penny. These items come in the form of packaged dinners or pre-cut produce. Instead of buying plates of cut pineapple, buy the whole fruit or vegetable for a part of the cost.

Know what to buy in large amount. Shopping at warehouse (批发店) is a great way to save money. However, not every item is worth buying in large amounts. 【2】

Skip the meat. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average cost of beef is $4.13 per pound this March. 【3】 If you skip the beef twice a week, you can instantly cut $30 to $40, if not more, off your monthly grocery bill.

Know what to buy in season. Fruits and vegetables are a great addition to your daily diet, but they can add a significant amount to your grocery bill, especially when you buy items out of season. As produce items go out of season, they become more expensive as the supply decreases. 【4】

【5】 However, there are ways to stretch your dollar further without hurting your habits.

A．Store pre-made items.

B．Skip the prepared items.

C．Shopping for groceries can be an expensive attempt.

D．Beef has seen a significant increase in price over the past few years.

E．The cost can add up quickly if you’re eating beef three or four times per week.

F．Certain items make sense to buy in large quantities because they typically have a longer shelf life.

G．If your favorite items are getting ready to go out of season, considering buying a little extra and freezing them.

27、Loneliness is like a disease, and what's worse, it's contagious．It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one person's emotions to affect even people he doesn’t know．

The new analysis, involving 4,793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52％ more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview．A friend of that person was 25％ more likely, and a friend of a friend of a friend was 15％ more likely．

“Loneliness is not just the property of an individual．It can be transmitted across people—even people you don't have direct contact with,” said John T．Cacioppo, a psychologist of the University of Chicago who led the study published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology．

Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health．Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said．

Although the study did not examine how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues．“Let's say for whatever reason you get lonely．You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion．That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion and they minimize their social ties and become lonely,” Cacioppo said．

According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions．

Lonely people become less and less trusting others．This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends－and more likely that society will reject them．Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness．Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks．

【1】 It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.

A. Loneliness is actually a kind of disease．

B. More and more people are suffering from loneliness.

C. Loneliness spreads in social networks．

D. Emotions are only transmitted between friends.

【2】According to Cacioppo, lonely people________．

A. will probably be deserted by society

B. are more likely to trust others

C. are less likely to be rejected by friends

D. rely heavily on others

【3】The word “minimize” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. increase   B. keep

C. create D. reduce

【4】Which should lonely people do to get rid of loneliness?

A. Refuse the help given by others.

B. Admit and try to solve it.

C. Interact with others more negatively.

D. Express emotions more often.

28、The French are followed by the Americans and the Spanish, with both nations sleeping around eight and a half hours per day. However, with an hour fewer than the French, Japanese and Korean people sleep the least among the 30 member countries of the OECD, around seven hours and 50 minutes a day.

“The French, who are known worldwide for their cooking skills, also spend more time eating than anyone else and it nearly doubles that of Americans, Canadians or Mexicans，” the OECD, a club of many developed countries, says. They spend more than two hours a day eating, followed by the New Zealanders and Japanese, who also spend close to two hours daily at the table. In Italy, which is another country with a worldwide cooking reputation (名声), and Belgium, people spend around one hour and 50 minutes a day eating. Spaniards, Germans and Swedes also spend more than an hour and a half a day eating, while Finns, Norwegians and Britons spend the least time at the table (around one hour and 20 minutes)．

Their way of life seems to have a big effect on French people's life time, since they are among the top three nations living the longest, together with the Japanese and Spaniards. An average Japanese woman lives to almost 86 years, while a man lives to 79. French and Spanish women live up to 84.4 years, and men 77.3 and 77.7 years. Hungarians are the European OECD nation living the shortest lives, with women's life time at 77.4 years and men's at 69.

29、Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon. The clang (叮当声) of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world. Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck. The whole neighborhood would magically come to life.

Holding a nickel (五分镍币), I’d run to the back of the vehicle, where children were already gathering. Jolly Joe would jump out of his truck, the sun shining on his hair. He was an older man, short and round, with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile.

I don’t know how, but he knew us all by name, as well as which treats we preferred. My favorite was the Buried Treasure. By eating all the ice cream, you’d discover the treasure inside: a lion, a dog or even a funny clown — printed onto a plastic stick.

When it was finally my turn, he’d put his arm deep inside one of the boxes, and pause (停顿) for a moment, a puzzled look crossing his face. Then, suddenly, he’d pull it out: the Buried Treasure! I couldn’t wait to enjoy the cool, sweet ice cream.

As quickly as he arrived, it was time for Jolly Joe to go, leaving behind laughing, excited children with sticky hands and faces. Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance.

I always hated to see Jolly Joe go, because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before. But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he’d come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic.

【1】Jolly Joe was liked mostly by _____.

B. Wealthy and kind.

C. Brave and hard-working.

D. Happy and humorous.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A. Lost treasure found at last

B. A clanging bell in the distance

C. Ice cream man spreads frozen magic

D. My friendship with an ice cream man
