of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.we arrived on the platform with no incidents. the mans knees seemed to soften, so i asked him to rest on a bench. while sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that i saved him. no, i said, i really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.at the next station, we said our goodbyes. before i knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. there was no way to give him back his money. i wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.my initial reaction

youre a big fan of coffee, youll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smellfresh, roasted coffee beans. and youll be able to identify the beans origincolombia, vietnam or brazil. tim hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. “when you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, youre getting physiological responses.”i know from experience when i walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and its the smell that makes me feel good. however, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. this is particularly the case when i order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. yes, its convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?you walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. as well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still dont get recycled. so maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!【解题导语】咖啡的味道令作者着迷,但是纸杯装的咖啡,其味道被阻隔了,无法让人感觉到咖啡真正的味道,并且纸杯还带来污染。4in which aspect does the

4?acreating.bremoving.cincreasing. dchanging.b解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“prevent any smell coming up to your nose”并结合画线词所在句可推知,该词的含义与“prevent”含义相近,故选b。7what can be the best title of the text?awake up and smell the coffeebtry to be a real lover of coffeecdrink coffee to save the planetdchoose takeaway coffee for conveniencea解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段第二句“for me, its the smell of freshly brewed
