As the youngest in the household, she is heavily teased, and thus has developed some resistance and distrust towards adults, who usually dont put high hopes in her.Yesterday we went to an art exhibition together. There were paintings from kids with disabilities. My little girl has keen eyes, for the paintings she liked most were also the best of the show. She also voluntarily helped to arrange the chairs and table for a sharing session, painted by herself alongside new friends while I attended the sharing, and cheerfully helped me to get my bag from another room, something that doesnt happen often at home as shes usually glued to her iPad.We went to buy books together. I bought a book written by a mom telling about her journey with her autistic(自闭症的) son. On the bus back home, I briefly introduced the book to my cousin, and to my surprise she was truly interested.

Usually when she talks to me, she describes events at school and at home without a clear focus. Im very touched that the life of an unknown stranger has found its way into this little girls heart.Im very thankful for the power of books, for the beauty that my cousin showed to me, and for the time we had together.

TheNational Retail Federationestimated that in 2018, the average person spent more than $180 on Mothers Day with a total forecast at over $23 billion spent on the day. Mothers Day, the day to honor the special women in our lives, was initially created as something very different.Theorigins of Mothers Daycan date back to ancient Greek and Roman times when festivals honored the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Later,16th century England celebrated Mothering Sundaywith celebrations on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In America, our tradition began in 1908 with a woman named Anna Jarvis. While not a mother herself, she established the day to honor her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who had passed away three years before.This commitment to pay honor to and help other women ran in the Jarvis family. Living in West Virginia before the Civil War, Ann had an idea for a community-service based program to help mothers in need of assistance. This concept developed into theMothers Day Work Clubs, a program that taught women how to care for their children. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared Mothers Day an official holiday. The yearly celebration would take place on the second Sunday in May. Annas original idea of Mothers Day was a day to honor her mother Ann, but once it became a nationally recognized day, things changed dramatically. The idea of celebrating mom on Mothers Day caught on quickly and became heavily commercialized with cards and flowers.After seeing aMothers Day Saladon the menu in the John Wanamaker tearoom(茶馆) in Philadelphia in the early 1900s, Anna realized the day had become nothing but a marketing scheme. She then began to hold protests, and demand face-to-face meetings with the president. In the end, she spent decades fighting a no-win battle to claim back the day as her own using every penny of hers. Shediedat age 84 in 1948, blind and alone in a hospital. 28. Which is the correct order of the following events? Mothers Day became an official holiday England celebrated Mothering Sunday Mothers Day became heavily commercialized Anna Jarvis established Mothers DayA. B. C. D. 29. Why did Anna hold protests?A. Because she hoped to meet with the president.B. Because Mothers Day had been heavily commercialized.C. Because Mothers Day Saladappeared on the menu without herpermission.D. Because she would fight a no-win battle to claim back the day as herown. 30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.C. By followingthe order of time. D. By following the order of space.31. Which is thebest titlefor this passage?A. Why the Founder of Mothers Day Came to Regret Her Invention?B. How Mothers Day Commercialized?C. How We Deal with the Commercialization of Mothers Day Correctly?D. Why Mothers Day Commercialized?DIt hurts to keep secrets. Keeping something secret is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secret-keeping to increased anxiety, depression, symptoms of poor health, and even the more rapid progression of disease. There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms: Hiding secrets is hard work. New research, however, suggests that the harm of secrets doesnt really come from the hiding after all. The real problem with keeping a secret is not that you have to hide it, but that you have to live with it, and think about it.The concept of secrecy might evoke(唤起) an image of two people in conversation, with one person actively hiding from the other. Yet, such hiding is actually uncommon. It is our tendency to mind-wander to our secrets that seems most harmful to well-being. Simply thinking about a secret can make us feel unreal. Having a secret return to mind, time and time again, can be tiring. When we think of a secret, it can make us feelisolated and alone.To better understand the harms of secrecy, my colleagues and I first set out to understand what secrets people keep, and how often they keep them. We found that 97 percentof people have at least one secret at any given moment, and people have, on average, 13 secrets. Asurveyof more than 5,000 people found that common secrets include preferences, desires, issues surrounding relationships, cheating and violations of others trust.Across several studies, we asked participants to assess how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others, and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social communications. We found that the more frequently people simply thought about their secrets, the lower their well-being. The frequency of active hiding when communicating with others, however, had no relationship to well-being.Following up this research, a newpapershows why thinking about secrets is so harmful. Turning the question around, we examined the consequences of telling secrets. We found that when a person tells a secret to a third party, it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in the dark. Rather, it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments. 32. According to the passage, which of the following is really harmful?A. Hiding the secrets from others. B. Assessing the frequency of hiding secrets.C. Always keeping the secrets in mind. D. Telling a third party the secrets.33. How did the author do the research with his colleagues?A. By doing experiments themselves. B. By analyzing the participants replies.C. By comparing the participants. D. By analyzing some samples.34. In the passage, the author mainly intends to tell us .A. why the secrets we keep are hurting usB. how we should keep the secrets properlyC. whether we should hide the secrets from othersD. what leads to our healthy problems35. What will probablybe talked about in the next paragraph of the passage?A. The proper ways that we can hide the secrets from others.B. The correct ways that we can solve our healthy problems successfully in our daily life.C. The main reasons why we should think more about the secrets.D. The detailed reasons why telling a secret to a third person can make our mind healthier. 第二节 （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。We all have days, or even weeks, on the job when our productivity declines. But if your output has been steadily decreasing, it could be because youre wasting time rather than focusing on key tasks at hand. 36 Here are a few steps you can take to stop wasting time at work and start doing your job more efficiently.Lock yourself in quiet space.Its easy to get distracted at the office when youre surrounded by chatty colleagues and side conversations that are far more interesting than the work youre supposed to be doing. But if you let yourself get sucked into those discussions, youre likely to fall behind and make your boss anger as a result. 37 Turn off your cellphone. 38 But a brief back-and-forth can quickly turn into a full conversationone that takes you away from more important tasks. If youre eager to stop wasting time at the office, silence your cellphone. Give family members and close friends a way to reach you in an emergency, and turn on that phone only during certain periods.Organize your calendar.Its easy to unintentionally waste time when you dont have a preset schedule outlining your days at work. But if youre guilty of not maximizing your time at the office, itll help to create a daily calendar with blocks of time for various tasks. For example, if you give yourself from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to write up your weekly data analysis report, youll be less likely to waste time during that period knowing that you only have an hour allocated to that task. 39 A messy workspace can make you inefficient. If your desk is in a mess, take some time to get it organized. File essential documents in some sort of order, and make your supplies more accessible. The less time you spend navigating the disaster zone that is your workspace, the more time youll free up to actually do your job.The more time you waste at work, the more your manager and peers(同事) tend to take notice. 40 Instead, clean up your act and keep searching for ways to be more efficient. Doing so might also spare you the misery of having to burn the midnight oil when deadlines approach and your work just hasnt gotten done.A. Thats a good way to hurt your reputation and put your job at risk.B. Value your precious time.C. If thats the case, the sooner you control that behavior, the less likely itll compromise your job.D. Organize your space. E. So, stop wasting time and remove the temptation (诱惑) by finding yourself a quieter spot in the office. F. You should not spend too much time in arguing with others G. A quick text message here and there during the workday might seem innocent enough.第三部分 语言知识运用
