17、nia to visit our children and friends. Many of them asked what we liked most about China. The friendly people, the wonderful food, and the beautiful sights were at the top of our list. Then one night, after yet another restaurant dinner with friends, I realized that there was one other thing that I

18、really liked about China: No tipping.Tippingisasubjectthathaslonginterestedme.In America, the three kinds of services that require tipping are waiters/waitresses, taxidrivers, and barbers. The standard tip is now between 15 and 20 per cent of the bill, depending on the quality of service. Why these

19、three particular services deserve this special treatment is a mystery to me. Why am I supposed to tip a waiter for bring me food when I dont need to tip the flight attendant on an airplane for doing the same thing? Why do I need to tip a taxi drive, but not the bus driver? Why am I expected to tip t

20、he barber for cutting my hair but not the dentist for fixing my teeth? I have been a teacher for 39 years. No one has ever tipped me after a particularly successful class or lecture.The whole concept of tipping doesnt make any sense. I have heard that there are some expensive restaurants in major ci

21、ties in the US where the restaurant does not give the waiters any salary at all due to the large amounts of the tips. The tipping problem in many European countries is solved by adding a 15 per cent to the bill. I prefer the Chinese solution: No tipping at all.When I was visiting the US this summer,

22、 I went out to dinner several times with friends. Having spent 10 month in China not even thinking about tipping, I found it irritating to have to spend extra money on the meal - especially when the amount of the tip would every often buy a meal in China. While I understand why China, as a developin

23、g nation, has gradually accepted many Western customary practices, I hope the Chinese are wise enough to never start the unnecessary practice of tipping.1What made the writer realize that he liked no tipping most about China ?ATalking with his friends .

They were waiting for a train that was very late.To kill time, they began talking to each other.At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, “Tell me-what wou

27、ld you most like to do if your doctor tells you that you have only three months to live?”The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.“Well,” he said, “if I have only three months to live, Ill take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my bes

28、t friend, Erik. Id like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And Ill stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think Ill have a wonderful time.”“Thats very interesting.” Paul said.With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, “And what about you?”“Ill tell yo

29、u a secret,” Allan said. “I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing Id like to do is to sell my house. With the money Ill buy the fastest car in the world. Perhaps I can enter all the big motor races.”Then he laughed, “I might even end up world cham

30、pion (冠军).”“Now its your turn,” Allan went on, “If your doctor tell you the bad news, what would you most like to do?”“Oh,” said Paul with a smile. “_”“Haha!

33、 want to be away from this sad world.C15、Go “back” in timeIs there a way to quickly recall（回忆）information just before taking an exam? Walking backwards might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.Resea

34、rchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were split（分成） into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about

35、what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct than the other two groups.This suggests that the link between the concepts（概念）of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed via（通过）space,”

36、 Aleksandra, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backwards, you see things from a different angle（角度） compared to walking forward, This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backwards is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the res

37、t of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backwards is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backwards uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories（卡路里）.In addition, walking backwards is less stressful for our knees. It coul

38、d be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backwards also keeps our spines（脊柱） strong, which can help to ease（缓解）pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backwards.1What does “thi

41、e to see things in a new angle.CIt helps people burn more calories.DIt can ease pain in peoples knees and backs.5What do we know from the passage?AWalking backwards can help people in many ways.BScientists suggest walking backwards for 10 meters every day.CMemories are formed when we do challenging

42、activities.DOld people like walking backwards because it can help them lose weight.D16、 “Farm to table” is the name of an activity that encourages people to eat locally grown food. There is also a group that brings “table to farm”. This traveling group is called Outstanding in the Field. Its aim is

43、to connect people to the land and to create a kind of restaurant without walls.Jim Denevan got the idea for this kind of food service ten years ago. Jim Denevans brother is a farmer and he himself is a former chef. He thought the idea of a meal served right at the farm made sense, though not everyon

44、e agreed. “But I wanted to make the idea work, so I decided to cross the countryI went all the way across the United States and set the table in farms and ranches and on beaches, and all the places where food comes from.”He recently prepared tables for more than a hundred people at Briars Farmstead

45、in Virginia. He and his eight-member crew arrived the night before. Chefs from a local restaurant prepared the dinner.Matt Szechenyi and his family operate Briars Farmstead. He said “This type of event connects us with a lot of enthusiastic people, people that willwe can form relationships with in t

46、he future. And this type of small farm business thrives on relationships.”Guests bring their own plates to the meal. When they arrive, the farmer shows them around. “These are free-range chickens. We want them to eat as much pasture as possible because thats the magic.” The tour of the farm ends at

47、the dinner table. The meats in this five-course meal come from Matt Szechenyis farm. The vegetables and other ingredients come from nearby farms. Guests and local farmers sit together. Alex Bogel came with his family. He said “It is also especially wonderful to sit at a table this big with all these

48、 people. The sense of community is wonderful.”Jim Denevan and his team have served almost thirteen thousand people. He plans to expand the operation.1_ thinks of the idea of “farm to table”.AMatt SzechenyiBAlex BogelCJim DenevanDJim Denevans brother2Whats Jim Denevans dream for “table to farm” busin

57、ark(丹麦）ranked (排名）No.3! And its not surprising at all! In 2016, Denmark ranked No.l , then No.2 in 2017. In fact, Denmark has been on the list for many years. Why? Because people who live in Denmark know the secret to happiness “hygge”. But what is “hygge”？The Danish(丹麦的）word “hygge” (pronounced “ho

58、o-ga”）is often translated in English as “coziness”. But “hygge” is more than that. Its also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar. Its about spending time alone or spending time with family.Danish people are very good at “hygge”. For example, they create a “ hygge” env

59、ironment by burning candles in classrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. According to some reports, Danish people bum more candles every year than people from any other European country.However, “hygge” isnt just about creating a nice and warm environment; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends. With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, Danish people spend more time indoors as a result, and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks, without the distraction(使人分心的事物）of technology or the stress of daily life.Still cant understand what “
