A. cook B. secretary C. salesperson D. veterinarian assistantB The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm(热情) as a tourist in Washington D.C., so I entered the nearest restaurant for warmth. I ordered a coffee, and began watching people.At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the delicious food. His tired body and worn-out clothes shouted, “Homeless, homeless!”“How long has it been since he ate last time?” I wondered. I hoped that he could get close to me for a handout(施舍物). But he never did. A silent war broke out in my headone side was telling me to mind my own business, and the other was telling me to offer him some food.While my inner debate moved on, a well-dressed young couple walked up to him. “Excuse me, sir,” the husband began. “We just finished eating, and our appetites werent as big as we had thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” He gave the man some food. “Thank you. Merry Christmas!” the man replied. The man carefully watched his new food, and was about to eat.Something that happened next shocked me. An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes entered the hall and walked towards us. My neighbor saw the situation. Setting aside his meal, he stood up and guided the old man to the table. “Hi, my name is Jack,” he said,“and one kind person brought me this meal. I just finished eating and hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?”The old man answered thankfully. “Sure, but only if you go halfway with me on that sandwich.”I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.34.

Two Homeless Men CA staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions (景点)around them without travelling very far.There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the area like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and plane ride.Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together, or spending all day at a pool.Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as risks.Since you are not travelling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably cost-effective(低成本的). You dont have to pay for a hotel. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really expensive, so the farther you go, the more expensive it is. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy by spending your money at local businesses rather than at cities that are far away from home. Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.37. What is the purpose of the text?A. To advise people to have staycations. B. To provide different ways of staycations. C. To compare staycations with other vacations. D. To introduce the general information on staycations.38. When taking staycations, people_. A. spend all day eating and sleeping B. usually travel to cities far away C. visit famous attractions of different cities D. either relax at home or travel near their homes 39. Which of the following belongs to the advantages of a staycation? A. People can save a lot of money. B. You can visit local attractions for free. C. People eat a lot when staying at home. D. The economy in other cities is also improved.40. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph? A. How to have a staycation safely. B. What risks a staycation has. C. Why people prefer a staycation. D. When to take a staycation.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。Ways to improve your healthSometimes it may seem difficult to improve our health.
