A
Just a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to takeoff. I had my iPod in place and a
new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice: “The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”
The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting. One man close tome began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments 行李厢）. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them. The wisest among us have a remarkable ability to maintain grounded when times get tough.
No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances. We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.
That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right—things could have been so much worse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home. 21. What caused the passengers’ different reactions? A. The loudspeaker.
B. The delay of the flight. C. The ground crew’s fault. D. The pilot’s announcement. 22. Who turned his anger on the seat? A. The teenager helping the disabled. B. The old man taking bags down. C. The man in a dark suit. D. The man close to me.
23. What did the woman sitting next to the author do? A. She assisted a disabled woman. B. She made a phone call to her family. C. She helped others carry their luggage. D. She told moving stories to her children. 24. What can we learn from the story? A. Our life is full of ups and downs.

C. We should help each other in times of difficulty. D. We should be positive and calm when life is hard.
B
A warm smile on the street, a happy “hello” in a public park or the cheery sound of your name at the neighborhood bar—it doesn’t take much to feel at home in a busy city. And in the following cities, these gestures are second nature, with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike. Dublin, Ireland
Dublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet. One of Europe’s smaller capital
cities, Dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security, so residents (居民) are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand. Locals speak in hushed tones in public. Talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best, and rude at worst. Auckland, New Zealand
New Zealand’s biggest city is also the country’s friendliest, perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants (移民). People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place, so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents. Also, the city is surrounded by amazing scenery and things to do. That’s got to make people a bit happier, and therefore friendlier. Charleston, United States
This city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits. Even when you go to the department of motor vehicles, you get a smile. Like many southern US cities , Charleston moves at a slower pace. People take time to sit outside, talk to neighbor sand walk to dinner.
Victoria, Canada
A popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port, the capital of British Columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts. Even the post men and women are super friendly and often say “good morning.” It’s got a small town and big city feel all at the same time. 25. What can be inferred from the underlined part?
A. The behaviors of locals do not represent their true nature. B. It is likely that locals would hesitate to welcome visitors. C. Locals perform the acts naturally and without thinking. D. Locals do not feel at home in these busy cities.
26. In which city are locals more likely to understand tourists and new residents? A. Dublin. B. Auckland. C. Charleston. D. Victoria. 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the tourism in some cities. B. To show the friendliness of different cities. C. To make a comparison between some cities.
D. To analyze the nature of people from different countries.
C
In 1996, John Tierney suggested in a New York Times Magazine article that “recycling is garbage.” He wrote, “The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal (处理) of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”
Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), said that “recycling can be good value for money, although there’s still room for improvements.”
But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was doing with its remaining program (the city never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York raised
prices due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New York brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of The Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.
Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, keep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice. 28. Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”? A. Because he didn’t like the environmental groups. B. Because he didn’t think recycling was a new idea. C. Because he found few people would like to recycle. D. Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.
29. Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups? A. Recycling programs save money. B. Recycling technologies are mature. C. Recycling programs cause pollution. D. Recycling technologies are valueless.
30. Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing? A. Because New York was doing extremely well.
B. Because they felt worried about the waste of money. C. Because they didn’t want to have a recycling program. D. Because New York was running a new recycling program.
31. Which of the following would the author most probably recommend? A. Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping. B. Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use. C. Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free. D. Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled.
D
We live in a world where the great majority of our attentions are focused on what we can see. Whether we’re watching TV or working on a computer, sight has become the leading sense in modern life. But have we lost touch with our other senses?
Dr. Charles Spence of Oxford University thinks so. In his latest report, he argues that the use of all senses is central to health. However, sensory deprivation is common in modern life, and it is harmful to our health.
Indeed, we take it for granted that most information we use to understand our world comes through our eyes. But our other senses may be suffering. Consider the sense of touch .According to Dr. Spence, children may grow up “touch-hungry” because they are not getting enough tactile (触觉) sensations. He suggests that we put more tactile objects into our schools to help develop this sense.
Dr. Spence may be exploring something deeper than our five senses. Life in the industrialized world is often far removed from nature, and it is no accident. For example, whether it is day or
