21、What if it isn’t a dog-eat-dog world? What if caring for a dog or for a mom with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are born to be selfish.

Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers, the researchers say. Rather than “every man for himself”, Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational, selfless and sympathetic characteristics.

Why has it taken so long for Darwin’s central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood? “We’ve had too many men in social science,” Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me in an interview. “Female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the research, which shows the human ability to care exists in our brains and nerve systems.”

In my book Passages in Caregiving, I urge women who take the whole responsibility for taking care of an elderly parent or a sick relative to build a “Circle of Care”. Reach out to your brothers and sisters, friends, neighbors and community volunteers to help you care, because no one can perform this overwhelming role alone. You will be as shocked as I to learn how the most selfless caregivers are rewarded with longer life.

Sympathy is not a woman’s word. In fact it makes all of us stronger under stress and more highly respected by our peers. For so long we have repeated the false saying “Nice guys finish last”. But the 40 richest Americans committed to doing good by donating half their fortunes are no spring chickens. So here is my new explanation：Nice guys die last.

【1】The first paragraph serves to______ .

A. give the background of the topic   B. blame the world for selfishness

C. bring out the topic of the passage   D. urge people to care for a dog

【2】In Passages in Caregiving, women are advised to_______.

A. help as many people as possible   B. share the responsibility of caring with others

C. learn how to live a longer life   D. take good care of themselves

【3】The underlined words “no spring chickens” in the last paragraph refer to______.

A. rich people   B. poor people   C. aged people   D. young people

【4】Why does the author mention the 40 richest Americans’ commitment in this passage?

A. To argue against offering sympathy.

B. To use it as an example to support his opinion.

C. To show their generosity to society.

D. To call on people to learn from them.

22、Around this time of a year when the weather gets cooler in Arkansas, there are a lot of homeless people, as well as people with different situations who need help.

Oftentimes our family serves at a soup kitchen where they give out bags of food to needy families in our area. And we’ll help put those bags of food together and hand them out, among other things.

There are a lot of reasons why serving the community is important to me, but one of them has to do with my father. My grandfather died when my father was 4 years old and my grandmother had four kids all under the age of 5, all born pretty close together. That was a time when things were so bad in the country. There wasn’t work and often the family hardly made ends meet, so my grandmother put the kids in a children’s home so that they could at least have food to survive.

My dad said he never forgot the local charity would bring the kids a gift for Christmas. The kids worked hard in the children’s home and the only present they got was from the local charity. He never forgot this kindness and always appreciated the local Charity for what it did when he was a little boy.

My dad was such a hardworking worker --- family meant the world to him. I was the seventh baby in my family and my mother had me just after she turned 40. She was one of those high-risk pregnancy mums, and I'm so grateful she had me. My mum and dad made a happy home for us, and I'm so grateful for that. I hope my children are catching those lessons, not just from Mum and Dad, but from grandparents and everyone else in their lives.

【1】Why does the author consider serving the community important?

A．His father led a hard life in his childhood.

B．His father worked hard and took good care of the family.

C．He was grateful for what his father had done for him.

D．He was inspired by his father’s life experiences.

【2】Which can best describe the author’s father?

A．Kind and creative.

B．Strict and helpful.

C．Grateful and hardworking.

D．Devoted and patient.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The author’s father meant the world to the family.

B．The author’s family opened a soup kitchen to offer help.

C．The kids received Christmas gifts from their parents.

D．The author hopes his kids learn to be grateful.

23、When I worked on the manufacturing shop（车间）floor, we rarely saw plant managers. Except for one. He often walked through the plant. He checked out product quality. He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a "hello." He wasn't outgoing. He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader." Yet we liked him.

In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study, researchers had four women attend a number of different classes. Their attendance varied: one woman might attend every class; a different woman might attend only a few. What didn't vary was their behavior. None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.

At the end of the term, students were asked which woman they liked best. Who "won"? Women who attended the highest number of classes. According to the researchers, "Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity." Or in non-researcher-speak: If I see you frequently, I naturally like you more. That's the power of showing up.

Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters. In a 1967 University of Minnesota study, researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups. When asked, the participants said they liked their future partner more. Even though the profiles were almost identical.

Want your team or your customers to like you more? Show up. Drop in. Drop by. Send a brief note. Make a quick phone call. You don't have to say or do much. Then, be consistent in your behavior. In time, people will expect you to drop in or drop by, whether in person or virtually. Anticipating future contact will make them like you more.

【1】What does the first paragraph serve as?

A．An introduction.

B．A background.

C．A comment.

D．An explanation.

【2】According to the 1992 study, what helps make a student welcome?

A．Answering questions frequently.

B．Greeting others enthusiastically.

C．Behaving more like others.

D．Attending classes more often.

【3】What did the University of Minnesota study find?

A．Familiarity contributes to likability.

B．Identical behaviours enhance likability.

C．Future partnership increases likability.

D．Virtual contacts benefit likability.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Power of likability.

B．Research on likability.

C．Definition of likability.

D．Application of likability.

26、阅读短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

The way of Chinese people’s life has been changed through the China’s “New Four Great Inventions”. What are “New Four Great Inventions”? They are High-speed rail, Shared bike, Online shopping and AliPay.

What did the China’s “New Four Great Inventions” bring to us?

High-speed rail—Modern transportation makes everybody neighbors. The invention of the high-speed railway makes it easy to thousands of miles a day. Today China’s rail transit technology is the best, the China’s daily average of 4, 000 trains, sending about 4.6 million passengers.

Shared bike—Short walks become more convenient and faster, and carbon missions are reduced, which is friendly to the environment. You can download the APP about shared bikes, pay some money, then you can use bicycles everywhere in the street. The Chinese shared bicycle programs have been becoming more and more popular.

Online shopping—Don’t need to go out to find the needs for living. Online shopping, as the name implies, is to pay money online. Purchases(购买物) can be sent home. China has 751 million internet users, 724 million mobile phone users; total transactions (销售额) on November 11 and December 12 hit a record high every year. Online shopping lets Chinese internet users enjoy “shopping carnival” every day.

Alipay—A software which can replace cash payment. With intelligence phones’ popularization, AliPay has become an indispensable (不可或缺的) APP. Through scanning the “QR code”, AliPay wants to realize the ambition of “replacing cash payments” gradually. On 11 November 2018, both the mobile payment account and the transaction reached 213.5 billion.

There is no doubt that China has already used its own power of “New Four Great Inventions” to become the great powerful technological country, showing the power of China once again.
