On his birthday in March, 2002, I went to the site that used to be the WTC. It wasnt cleaned up yet; in fact it was ugly as hell and smelled about the same, and access was still pretty chaotic. I got to the Century 21 department store across the street, and stood against the wall. I broke down.A guy who was working across the street at the site which was still a disaster area saw me and came across. Who did you lose? he asked. My husband, I said, through ugly tears, and I told the guy what firm my husband had worked for, and that it was his birthday.The guy turned out to be a firefighter. He reached into his front pocket. This is actually really rare. Not a lot of glass survived. And he pressed it into my hand.He sensed my doubt and said, Maybe it is for nothing. But crying all the day could be for something?I still have it. Its not that the guy was giving up a valuable souvenir. It was that he was acknowledging my connection to that little piece of glass, and putting it where he thought it belonged. He needed to give me something that in some small way I could hold onto, instead of the hurt. This was how he could do that in that one moment.I was so lost in my own mind that I never even asked his name; he didnt ask mine either.

For teenagers, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes it is also about developing good ones.Several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on a teenager. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong link.In 2018, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the worlds countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.Teenagers who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. That was a finding of a study by the National Center on Addition and Substance Abuse (CASC) at Columbia University in New York. The 2012 CASA report found that family dinners were strongly linked to teen substance abuse prevention. In the report，researchers say that teens who have family dinners frequently are more likely to say their parents know a lot about their lives.” They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.Another study from the University of Montreal found that teenagers who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These teens were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. They also seemed to have better social skills.Linda Pagani, a professor involved in this study says that there is a handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and adolescent health. Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction，discussions of social issues and day-to-day concerns. She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.28. Whats the function of the first sentence in the passage?A. To ask readers a question. B. To introduce the topic.B. To find answers. D. To give readers a help.29. What is the main idea of the passage ?A. Benefits of family dinners on teenagers. B. The vital importance of a healthy diet.C.

Linda Pagnai believes that teenagers eating family meals a lot are probably more .A. ambitious B. intelligent C. sociable D. conservativeDMany undocumented immigrants (移民) live in the US. The number is reported to be nearly 10 million. They are not registered with authorities and therefore often hide from the government. They do not pay taxes, and they cannot apply for drivers licenses, jobs that require a work permit, or loans to buy houses. If discovered, they can be sent back to their home countries.But this week, the U.S. Supreme Court（最高法院）is considering whether to allow some undocumented immigrants to stay for a limited period and apply to work legally. The decision will affect only undocumented immigrants who meet three requirements: those who have not been found guilty of a crime; those who have been in the U.S. for the past five years or more; and those who have a child who was born here or lives here legally. About 4 million undocumented immigrants meet those criteria.The case has much to do with a program called DAPA. It stands for “Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents.” The program was approved two years ago. One of the goals of the programs was to keep families together. It also aimed to bring more people into legal work. People who support DAPA say the program can greatly reduce the fear undocumented immigrants feel.A six-year-old girl named Sophie Cruz spoke outside the Supreme Court building. She was born in the U.S., but her parents are here without documents. That means the government can force her parents to leave the country and their daughter at any time. “I ask the judges to protect us children and all immigrants,” Sophie Cruz said.If the Supreme Court decides the DAPA program is legal, the government will protect approved undocumented immigrants. They will receive a social security card, permission to work in the U.S., and a promise that they will not be forced to leave for three years.32. At present, the undocumented immigrants life in America is .A. insecure B. fashionable C. simple D. respectable33. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. All undocumented immigrants will benefit from the possible decision.B. Undocumented immigrants meeting the criteria can live legally forever.C. Many a undocumented immigrant will get benefit from the decision.D. There seems to be no chance to have the important decision made.34. The program called DAPA will contribute to .A. the increase of panic B. the stability of societyC. more job opportunities D. academic performance35. How will happen to Sophie Cruz once the decision is announced?A. She is to refuse a security card. B. She will leave America at once.C. She will become an American forever. D. She is sure to feel relieved.第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。How to work productively at home The opportunity to work at home can be a dream coming true: no sitting in traffic, and the flexibility(灵活性)to work wherever and maybe even whenever you want. 36 The following tips are proven to help people who work at home maintain their happiness and their productivity.Get up and get dressed. It might seem like fun to work in your pajamas, but the reality is that people are more productive when they wear professional clothing. 37. In addition, you will likely feel better and ready to face your day if you rise, shower, and dress in the morning. 38 Students are often advised not to study in bed, because we connect the bed with sleep. Therefore, when we are in bed studying , our minds think we should go to sleep. This causes some students to get less done if they study in bed. To be productive while working at home , it is better to have a dedicated office or office space. 39 . When you are not in your work area, you are doing something else. Create a schedule. When you have flexibility, you can set your own schedule. This is different from having the flexibility to do things whenever you want. 40 . You will find you are more productive when you set up a structure for yourself. It may help you to keep track of what you do all day for a couple of weeks . In the end, focusing on work during work time and play during play time will keep you healthy. Sounds easier than it is, but worth all the effort.A. Have a separate office space.B.
