His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too.But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a muchthought, threepage letter. Dad, a 68yearold retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”.I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasnt too late. I cried because at first, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send”.Weve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems havent been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. Its hard to talk to Dad sometimes, but Im glad I found a way to talk to mine.21.

But what about Tom, the motorbike shop owner, Joe Knight and Karen Berman?Tom, Joe and Karen are all characters in a comic book. But Mr. Knight and Ms. Berman are real people. In 2020, they wrote a book called Financial Intelligence a managers guide to knowing what the numbers really mean. It was written for people who need to learn quickly about finance (财政). The book explains, in simple ways, oftencomplex methods of keeping financial information.

He wanted to create educational comics that increase understanding. “I think almost everybody understands the phrase a picture says a thousand words, so, I mean, probably 90 percent of us grew up with comics and they understand that comics help us to learn a concept much quicker than text alone,” he said. “Within an hour, you can get the idea of finance with this book very quickly and not in a boring way. Once you get these pictures, you get the basic knowledge of finance.”“The new comic book is available in paperback(平装本). There will also be versions for iPad and iPhone users,” he added.25.

Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation, but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. It can even help you achieve your desired goals.Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do. Researchers are finding daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of relaxation. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. In an experiment with school children, the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved selfcontrol and creative abilities.But thats only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future”. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these famous achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.Of course daydreaming is no substitute(代替者) for hard work. You have to work hard to develop skills. Daydreaming alone cant turn you into your hearts desire. But in combination with the more usual methods of selfdevelopment, it might make a critical difference. And who knows: You might see your own daydreams come true.29. From the scientific research, a few minutes daydreaming will _.A. relieve stress effectivelyB. improve gradesC. escape from real life and dutiesD. gain a positive attitudes towards exams30. According to Dr. Joan T. Freyberg, daydreaming can _.A. reduce failure in examinationsB. help rapid and continuous physical growthC. improve selfcontrol and creative abilitiesD. benefit improvement of concentration31. What does “the story” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The attention.B. The conclusion.C. The contribution. D. The concentration.32. Nightingale and Edison are examples to explain that daydreaming probably _.A. earns a good reputationB. takes the place of hard workC. pictures future professionD. turns the desire into realityDThe global figures reveal that even the Americans put Britain to shame when it comes to taking exercise. Britain has one of the most sedentary populations on the earth, with almost twice the proportion of people defined as “inactive” as in neighboring France. In the UK, 63.3 percent of the population fails to meet recommended levels of physical activity, increasing their risk of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. By contrast, 40.5 percent of US citizens are inactive, despite more than 30 percent of them being obese.Now, theres good news. Smart foods that tell the brain you have eaten enough could hold the key to beating obesity, researchers have claimed. They hope the foods will contain a special chemical which mimics (模仿) the message our gut (肠道) sends to the brain when it is full. By sending the message earlier, the brain can be fooled into not overeating. “We know nutrients interact with gut cells, which send chemical messengershormones to the brain to signal stomach full,” Dr. Jens Holst said.This message from our food to gut to brain is now being used to fight obesity. Holst discovered GLP1, which acts on parts of the brain that regulate appetite. “There is a raft of hormones, which will tend to help end a meal,” said Dr. Holst. “We dont know much about which nutrients are involved and whether we can handle how food interacts with those signaling systems and how those systems are integrated(整合) at different levels in the brain.”The team hopes their research could lead to drugs which mimic the message, and hopes to eventually make food that can also contain the messages. “It would be even better if we could come up with smart foods,” said Holst.33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 1?A. Proud.B. Inactive.C. Silent. D. Energetic.34. What message could smart foods probably tell the brain?A. Which food tastes good.B. When to stop eating.C. How to get enough nutrition.D. How to live a healthy life.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. Smart foods still have a long way to go.B. Dr. Holst doesnt think highly of smart foods.C. There will be more and more overweight people.D. Its fashionable to stay slim at present.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。Being a VolunteerWhat can you do to help people? The answer is to be a volunteer!
