KFC partnered with The Robin Collective, an experimental food company, to make the cups with coconut sun cream, freshly cut grass and wild flowers scents.

That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren.

At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habitsin experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates (气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are nowsaying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.

Taking Naps in Warmer Climate DFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects. Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. As a result, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years. In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets. Although in recent years plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed , for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.33. With the passage of time, glass _. A. is regarded as transparent B. is no longer seen as decoration C. is used to make things look pleasant D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers34. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War? A. The war blocked the way of glass import. B. They refused to use the European glass. C. The glass made in Europe was out of date. D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.35. By telling the legend, the author wants to _. A. prove that the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass B. support that the Americans were as clever as the Romans C. give some interesting information about hard glass D. provide a historical event concerned with hard glass七选五阅读 How to Offer Support and EncouragementWhether a friend, family member, or coworker, at some time or another，somebody will need support and encouragement. This could be the result of a disappointing change in life, a health change or other similar challenges. 36 Even if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement, your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough.Each situation is different, and each would require different levels of both support and encouragement. 37 Helping keep up someones spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there, can make a serious difference in their lives. 38 For people in this situation, often a telephone call, or dropping in to say “hello” is more than enough. You may not feel that you are doing much of anything, but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them, or call them can make a big difference. For someone who has recently lost a job, you may be able to offer support by helping them network effectively. Or, you may be able to help them craft a new resume, apply for benefits, or a number of other “small” things that may seem insignificant to you, but to them can be a very significant event.39 However, if you let them know that you are there for them, and make it a point to check in with them regularly, they may soon feel more comfortable and share them with you. Take for example a person who is suffering with depression. 40 They may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong. However, if you trust your instincts(直觉) and take a little extra care to support and encourage them even in little ways, you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook.A. All too often, people feel isolated and do not know where to turn.B. You know that there is something wrong.C. So you may need support and encouragement to pull through.D. In such cases, it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement.E. You may not always understand all of the issues going on in someones life.F. You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time.G. The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simple household tasks, running errands(跑腿儿), or even being available for telephone calls.第三节 语篇填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。I was nine years old when I learnt to ride a bike.
