Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through changes in life. And for some of
us, even the Smallest changes can upset our day. So, the question is: Why do most of us find makingadjustments（调整）to our lives so hard?
Why we dislike change
Fear of change is ___ 75 ___ new. Over a century ago, people in Paris were unhappy over an
unusual addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the
tower that they were against its construction（建造）. As strange as it may seem, their anger was
completely ___ 76 ___ . They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so
they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have to a say in the matter.
Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to
take. Voluntary（出于自愿的）changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how
those changes will ___ 77 ___ our future.
How we can overcome our fear of change
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible. When people are
flexible, they can ___ 78 ___ new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century
as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who were against change, especially with
technology in the workplace, may end up finding themselves out of a job.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to ___ 79 ___ it. A positive（积极的）attitude helps a lot.
In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better
than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. ___ 80 ___ , don’t just
focus on how you feel about change. You should learn to accept the change. The change is the reality and it’s up to
you to decide whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know—your next change may be your
life’s Eiffel Tower!
75. A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing
76. A. important B. natural C. unusual D. ordinary

78. A. be aware of B. get used to C. be interested in D. get rid of
79. A. forget B. make C. face D. refuse
80. A. However B. What’s more C. Besides D. Therefore
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使内容通顺，
每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）
When you’re bored, what will you do first? If you’re like many, the answer is quite simple: You reach foryour phone. Five minutes of short videos or funny pictures seem like a p___81___break.
If that sounds familiar, a new study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling
more bored. The problem isn’t taking a break. The problem is your phone. A research shows using phones can’t
help people r ___ 82 ___ from their heavy work.
To figure out the r ___ 83 ___ between phones and boredom, the research team installed（安装）an app on the
phones of 83 volunteers to find out how often they used their phones. They also asked these volunteers to keep
diaries for three days, recording their level of boredom every hour “ Phone breaks were frequent（频繁的）: In
the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, the volunteers picked up their phones 52 percent of the time. They
spent an average of around 90 seconds on it each time,” reports the research team. “The more tired we are, the
most l ___ 84 ___ we are to reach for our phones. While we look to our phones to relieve（减轻）boredom, screen
time seemed to i ___ 85 ___ feelings of boredom. The volunteers actually reported higher levels of boredom after
having used their smartphones.”
The research team pointed out that phone breaks may end up being more tiring than stimulating. In other
words, watching the funny videos is very nice, but it’s now w ___ 86 ___ the cost to your brain in effort and
concentration. In addition, picking up your phone might remind you that you have a better choice to do something
else if you don’t have to finish the tasks immediately. Both your time and effort are easily wasted.
What should we do i ___ 87 ___ ? Taking a walk is good exercise. Calling someone can make your mood
cheerful. Reading a book gives your brain a fresh start. You can do many things like that. Just remember, don’t
reach for your phone!
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
It was a few years ago. A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I had picked a sunny
Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead
of the fast-food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious and we all had a good time just being together.
When the waitress brought the check. I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into
my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in my wallet. The first would cover the rest of the bill
and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one.
At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like
the one we were in now. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just only making enough to
feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their little tips
worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids things they needed. I remembered thepain in their eyes and sadness in their faces at the end of the day.
I blinked (眨眼) and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled,
pushed it back down, and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them
with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the
change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all children of the same earth. Do your best to be kind then.
88. Did the writer take his children to the fast-food places they usually ate at on the sunny Sunday afternoon?
89. Why didn’t the writer choose the second bill in the first place?
90. What made the writer change his mind in the end?
91. Why are there always pain and sadness in the
waitresses’ faces at the end of the day?
92. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph
6 refer to?
93. How do you understand the underlined sentence “We
are all children of the same earth.”?
