It was the middle of third grade and I am not sure what had gotten into me. I lied for no reason at all and about the
daffiest things I lied that I had eaten all my dinner I lied that I had brushed my teeth My lies were not hurting anyone, but
I felt the need to say things that were not so.
My parents tried everything to understand why I made up stuff. Was I looking for attention? Maybe. I soon realized the
new attention I was getting was horrible. I was labeled a liar and my parents did not trust me.
My sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved the times at Aunt Kim's house because
she spoiled us. She gave us the perfect food—hot dogs and cheese. She had cool pencils, erasers and other supplies that any
young girl would love to have.
Then it happened... someone took one of Aunt Kim's art pencils and drew across the entire top of the wall.When Aunt
Kim discovered the destruction, all three of us were asked to confess(承认). Nobody did! She told us how disappointed she
was and was on the phone with my parents. They were on their way to pick me up!
It had to be me! I was the liar . No amount of protesting could convince any of them that I had no r committed the crime.
I was taken home and sent to my room for the test of the day.
And then there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turns out my younger sister finally felt
guilty!She confessed that she was the one
Funny,I don't even remember being mad at my sister. I learned a valuable lesson. No matter how big or small your lies,

Most of us know what it's like to get presents from friends. Whether it's for a birthday or other celebration, it's hard to
beat the excitement of opening a carefully wrapped box to find something that's both unexpected and suits you perfectly.
Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That's the feeling that mystery boxes
hope to create.
Mystery boxes are not a new idea——they were a feature of department stores in Japan in the early 20th Century.They
contain a range of different products, which are sold at a lower price than their combined value. The key thing is that
customers don't know what's in the box before they buy. All kinds of mystery boxes are available:fashion boxes, food boxes,
beauty boxes, even loot boxes, which are virtual items for video games.
The pleasant surprise is not the only attraction of mystery boxes. They also allow people to try things that they otherwise
wouldn't . Seasonal vegetable subscription boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also potentially
offer great savings—as the recommended retail(零售) price of the content s is often fa r higher than the purchase price. For
retailers and suppliers the benefits are clear—it allows them to sell unwanted stock. British fashion mystery box entrepreneur
Mario Maher highlight s how mystery boxes can help reduce the amount of waste in the fashion industry. People might
discover product ranges that would otherwise be thrown away.
There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes—when you buy them, you don't know what you'll get!It may be that
the goods inside are not to your taste, but there is also the potential for criminals to make use of the unpredictability of
mystery boxes to send items that have a much lower value than the price of the box.
So, are mystery boxes a fun way of reducing waste and making shopping more exciting, or more an opportunity for
disappointment, or worse─deception(欺骗)?
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The price of mystery boxes. B. The definition of mystery boxes.
C. The function of mystery boxes. D. The popularity of mystery boxes.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Mystery boxes contribute to producing waste.
B. Buying mystery boxes is definitely a waste of money.
C. The goods inside mystery boxes are not worth the price.
D. Mystery boxes are welcome among customers and fashion industry.
30. What is the author's attitude towards mystery boxes?
A. Favorable B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
31. How is the passage developed?
A. By making analysis. B. By describing process.
C. By presenting research results. D. By explaining cause and effect.
D
We're all familiar with the idea of climate change and how our planet is warming. Extremes in temperature have become
more commonplace, making parts of the world difficult to live in. But one place where extreme heat is making life very
uncomfortable is our cities. Luckily, innovation might be keeping it under control.
As thermometers(温度计) record temperatures, sometimes above 50 degrees Celsius, solutions are being sought to cool
the air in our cities. In India, for example, heatwaves and rapid urbanization have led to a big rise in the use of air-conditioning
units, adding to CO emissions. So, architects, looking for a sustainable cooling solution, are copying an ancient lattice (框
2
架) design, used in old buildings like the Taj Mahal, to construct comfortable,low-carbon buildings. Yatin Pandya told the
第 4 页 共 7 页BBC:“Traditional architectural forms have proven their performance in combating environmental conditions.”
In America, about 80% of the population lives in cities, and it's these cities that suffer from an urban heat island effect,
caused by factors such as trapped waste heat, concrete structures and pavements absorbing the sun and tall buildings blocking
the wind. Residents and developers have tried to cool these places by planting large trees that offer shade and putting plants
and gardens on top of roofs to help trap heat. And in Los Angeles, there's a experiment to cover street s with light-coloured
material that reflects rather than absorbs the sun and so they remain cooler than typical black roads.
But it's satellites in space that are really giving us the best picture of our over-heated cities. Glynn Hulley, who is
leading an image-capturing project, called the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission, told the BBC:“The data can
be used to identify hot spots, weak regions, and assess the cooling impacts of heat mitigation (缓解)approaches.”It's already
found how green spaces, white roads and water features, have helped prevent our cities from boiling over. But with extreme
heat still posing a threat to our lives, more solutions are still needed.
32. What leads to the increase of CO₂ emissions?
A. Invention of thermometers. B. Imitation of traditional architecture.
C. Building of concrete structures. D. Application of air-conditioning units.
33. Why is Los Angeles mentioned?
A. To prove it is miserable to suffer from heat. B. To show people are trying to solve problem.
C. To demonstrate the benefit of modern buildings. D. To support the idea of low-carbon construction.
34. What is the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring aimed at?
A. Evaluating the cooling effect. B. Identifying city features
C. Emphasizing threats to lives D. Testing image capturing technology.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cities in Danger B. Dramatic Climate Change
C. Temperature Monitoring Mission D. Cooling Hot Cities

Productivity can be a struggle for many of us. Overflowing(堆积的) email inboxes, housework, social obligations——
it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one simple tool that can help us stay updated is the to do list. 36
There are three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they help to reduce anxiety that comes with having never
ending tasks By writing everything down, we don't have to rely on our memory and can instead focus on the task at hand 37
As well as this, our brains are more likely to remember information that is presented in a structured and organized manner
And finally, lists serve as proof of what we have achieved 38
39 This is the name psychologists use for when we remember things we need to do our unfinished tasks,better than
things we have already completed. Researchers from Wake Forest University tested the interference of the Zeigarnik effect
on a group of people 4 0 It was stopped half way through and only some people were allowed to make plans . The researchers
found that the group permitted to plan bad reduced anxiety and performed better in the second task . The problem was, the
others still had the warm up talk stuck in their active memory. So,once we ti ck something off our list , our brain forgets about
it and we can relax.
All in all, it seems lists are a valuable tool for staying updated!
A. The experiment began with a warm up task
B. Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off-simple!
C. They can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation.
D. A to do list item is the kind of thing that will take long hours of work.
E. Secondly, lists provide structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow.
F. However, in the never-ending sea of tasks, you feel like you aren't keeping up.
G. Another possible reason our brains love lists is because of something called the "Zeigarnik Effect".

Many years ago, my dad was diagnosed with a serious heart condition. He was put on permanent disability and was
unable to work at a steady job. He would be fine for quite a while, but would then fall suddenly ill and have to be admitted to
the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved
kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the terminally (不治的) and critically ill children. He would
talk to them and play with them and do arts and crafts with them . Sometimes, he would lose one of his kids. In certain
instances, he would tell the grieving parents of these children that he would so on be with their child in heaven and that he
would take care of them until they got there. He would also ask the parent if there was a message they would like to send with
him for their child.
My dad's assurances seemed to help parents with their grieving. One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with
a rare disease that paralyzed(使瘫痪) her from the neck down. I don't know the name of the disease or what the prognosis(预
测) usually is, but I do know that it was very sad for a girl around eight or nine years old.She couldn't do anything, and she
was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper.
He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn't use his hands at all.
Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her. All the while he would tell her, “See,
you can do anything you set your mind to,”
