21、Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time.【1】 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:

Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?【2】

Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?【3】 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.

【4】 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes (食谱) that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

A．Try new things.

B．Ability is easily improved.

C．Make three or four instead.

D．Understand your food better.

E．Cooking is a burden for many people.

F．A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

22、   Now,a new study led by Mason,a behavioral biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada,shows that people who can consistently read cats' expressions belong to a special group:that of the cat whisperer, mostly young and female.

For the research,Mason and his colleagues created an online survey and invited Internet users to take part.The 6,329 participants from 85 countries watched between 2 to 20 short videos of cats' expressions, and then responded if they thought the cats were distressed or happy.These random users got an average of 11.85 out of 20 ratings correct-better than chance,but not by much.But about 13 percent of the survey takers were unusually skilled at reading cats' emotions,scoring at least 15 out of 20 correct-the so-called cat whisperers.Those who self-reported being young,female,and having professional veterinary （MEW)experience were most likely to score well.Surprisingly to Mason,cat ownership had no impact on the ability to interpret cat emotion.

＂In humans,facial expressions are a major-if underappreciated- form of human communication," says Mason."And recent research shows that a variety of animals,from rats to dogs to horses,also make facial expressions that clearly communicate how they're feeling,"she says.A study published earlier this year found that cats were no exception,while also suggesting that humans could comprehend subtle(微妙的）forms of cat communication,especially facial expressions.

Mikel Delgado,a cat-behavior expert,says that this study is a"great start"to cracking cat communication,but cautions against identifying a cat's emotional state based on one piece of information.＂There's still a lot for us to understand about cats' body language,"says Delgado.For instance,tail and ear position are also relevant signals to how a cat is feeling.

【1】What do we know about the cat whisperers?

A.They often go into profession related to animals.

B.They are good at understanding cats' feelings.

C.They like making videos of cats' expressions.

D.They are most likely to own and raise cats.

【2】What does the author mean by"cats were no exception"in Paragraph 3?

A.Cats share a variety of characteristics with rats and dogs.

B.Cats can make out facial expressions like human beings.

C.Cats take an interest in communicating with other animals.

D.Cats can convey their feelings through facial expressions.

【3】What can we infer from Mikel Delgado's words?

A.We should be very cautious when we deal with cats.

B.Cats have better communication skills than other animals.

C.We shouldn't tell cats' feelings only through their facial expressions.

D.Cats are used to showing how they feel through their body language.

【4】What is the authors purpose in writing the text?

A.To convince people of benefits of keeping pets.

B.To introduce a study of reading cats 'expressions.

C.To compare cats 'and human's facial expressions.

D.To clarify some misconceptions about communication.

23、Coming to the end of my assistantship in Barcelona, I start to think about what the future might hold. It’s been seven months and a few days since I arrived here and things have changed so much in what some might call a short period of time.

When I first arrived in Terrassa I was excited and nervous to start a new adventure in a country I love. The first few days seemed so long ago now, trying to find a place to live, organising my timetable with the schools, meeting new people. After a couple of weeks, the excitement started to fade, however, and homesickness started to set in. It wasn’t a powerful homesickness but enough to make me spend more than a few nights thinking about family and friends back home, wondering if I should be there with them.

All that started to change after meeting some new friends and spending good time with them, practising languages, eating together and seeing new places as a group. I suppose we should never forget how important it is to have good people in your life, because they can make such a difference.

Coming back to Terrassa after visiting home for Christmas felt like returning to a second home, to a place that was mine with people I cared about. Things got even more busy and more people came into my life; new friends, romance and a whole lot of good food flowed by in what seems to have been weeks, not months.

Now, looking forward, there are some decisions to make. Should I return home to Scotland and move on with life there or try to extend my time here, perhaps make it something permanent? To travel and visit other places is one of the most meaningful things you can do in life. Experiencing other cultures, learning about the world, it’s such an important thing to do if you have the means. My thought from my experience so far is to travel and try new things whenever getting the opportunity.

【1】What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A．The author made a wrong decision.

B．The author came to Terrassa to find a job.

C．It’s hard for the author to adapt to the life there.

D．The author’s mood changed a lot over time.

【2】What does paragraph 3 focus on?

A．The importance of making friends.

B．The diversity of characters and cultures.

C．The variety of people’s life.

D．The necessity of basic learning skills.

【3】What does the author benefit from the experience in Barcelona?

A．Learning a foreign language is a must.

B．It’s very important to try new things.

C．His own country is always the best.

D．Hard work is the key to success.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．How to Make a Great Difference?

B．Ways of fully Changing Your Life

C．What does the Future Hold for Me?

D．A Decision to Work as an Assistant

24、During this year's Spring Festival, Ma Rui made a meme（表情包）by collaging（拼贴）her portrait and images of firecrackers and golden coins. Ma sent it to relatives and friends on social media as her new year's greeting.

“Traditional text greetings are tedious. A meme sticker of myself is more creative and personal,” said Ma, a 38-year-old woman working in Yinchuan. As a regular meme maker, Ma also made her cat and dog the main characters of her creations. With her ever-increasing meme collection, she can deal with most online communications by sending memes without sending a text message On China's most popular social networking apps WeChat and QQ, many users have developed the habit of collecting memes in their accounts, including those featuring celebrities, animals，and cartoon characters. Ma has been using emojis and memes on Wechat for about 10 years, but they were limited in the past.

In recent years, meme-making has become a new trend, with the emergence of more designers and apps for making memes. With free apps, people can create their own memes and share them online. As an industry，meme-making can also bring decent incomes for meme designers, injecting vitality into related products and industries. “A good meme can accurately express what one means and reduce misunderstanding and embarrassment. This is why people need it,” said Luo Yalong, a 30-year-old meme designer.

Luo created a cartoon character named “Little Chubby Inu.” With this image, he designed nearly one thousand memes with different expressions, which have been used billions of times on WeChat since it was first introduced in 2017.

The image of Little Chubby Inu has also been printed on T-Shirts, mugs, and cosmetics and packages of popular drink brands. This year, Luo opened an online store for Little Chubby Inu-themed products.

By drawing inspiration from popular websites young people like to visit, Luo has become a prolific meme-maker, creating a new series of memes every two or three months. “Attractive memes are emerging every day, while users' tastes are ever-changing. For us designers, it causes great pressure but also presents immense opportunities,” Luo said.

【1】What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Narrow.

B．Dull.

C．Ancient.

D．Common.

【2】Why do more and more people like to make memes?

①To make us laugh happily.

②To help us make good profit.

③To show designers' character

④To help us communicate better.

B．①②④

C．①③④

D．②③④

【3】What does Luo's words in the last paragraph suggest?

A．Designers should cater for users' appetite.

B．Memes cause great pressure to designers.

C．New interesting memes are arising everyday.

26、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary within 60 words in your own words according to the passage given below.

“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.

With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”

Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freeman. I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip. Observing people’s gossip, I have noticed its three negative effects.

First, an important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about the topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.

Next, if we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives. Sharing the latest rumor can make a person feel more important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging.

Then gossip can also have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.

The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
