题目内容

【题目】 Life under lockdown is strange and lonely but people are finding ways to come together and support those in need by volunteering. Here are just a few more ways you can take part in.

NHS Responders

After asking retired medical professionals to return to work, the government has also put out a call for 250,000 volunteers to support the NHS (National Health System). You can apply to be a community response volunteer, collecting and delivering supplies for those in isolation; a patient transport volunteer, helping patients who are dismissed from hospital get home and settled; and an NHS transport volunteer, to assist with delivery of medical supplies.

GAIL'S Bakery

As well as baking breads and pastries for the general public, GAJL's is supplying front-line NHS teams with fresh food, and they need more help to get it where it needs to be. If you want to lend a hand, drop them an email.

Re-engage

Re-engage is a voluntary group that helps reduce loneliness among old people and given that so many people are isolated because of the virus outbreak, they need more volunteers to become call companions. If you want to join them in the telephone befriending service, contact them at 18112256.

【题目】 Over the last few years, there’s been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download apps that remind us to write down our blessings.【1】“But it's also important to remember that gratitude is free.”says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University.

Noting down gratitude seems to pay off. Studies have found that giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. Keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents.【2】“It’s one practices that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.”she says.

【3】One study found that counting blessings once a week boosted happiness, but doing so three times a week didn't. There’s also a lack of research on bow gratitude exercises help people with clinical depression or anxiety. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it isn't for everyone.【4】 It can't make injustice, loss or pain disappear.

During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up,” she says.【5】

A.And it isn’t a cure-all.

B.So it doesn’t feel pleasant.

C.Those products remind us to take time to be grateful.

D.What works for some people may not work for others.

E.Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well.

F.Practicing too much gratitude may have undesired effects.

G.That's why gratitude features heavily in Santos' happiness class.

【题目】 Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, pretty special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant from Italy, held on to so many of her family's traditions that at times, regardless of the fact that I was living in American, our home felt like in Italy.

To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian. She may speak in some English terms and expressions from time to time, but our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, food —Italian food is an important part of our lives. The food my mother prepared for me and my sister as children is the same food my grandmother created in her small farm kitchen high up in the mountains.

One of my family's dishes of heritage I made sure to learn and perfect is my mother's arancini di riso (Italian rice balls). Arancini, in Italian, means little oranges. After you roll some leftover rice into a small ball, place a piece of mozzarella (马苏里拉奶酪 ) in the center, then bread that and fry it, the golden outside resembles one of our favorite fruits. For my family, it also showcased my mother' s ability to always find a delicious way to never let anything go to waste: Last night's good rice was repurposed into this perfect mid-day snack or dinner appetizer.

So, when I take a perfect little arancini out of the hot oil and crack it open, I am immediately transported back to my childhood: I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of last night's rice transformed into sticky, delicate goodness. This small snack symbolizes so many important elements in my life: my mother' s waste-not philosophy, her ability to take a few simple ingredients and transform them, and finally, the way she carried her mother' s recipes to the U. S. in her mind and heart so she could, years later, teach me about my heritage through food.

Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continued to make here in the U. S. after leaving Italy, allowed her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all.

【1】What makes the author's home feel like in Italy?

A.Fruit and snacks.

B.Neighbors and friends.

C.Names and holidays.

D.Food and language.

【2】Why does the author make sure to learn and perfect arancini di riso?

A.It saves valuable food from going to waste.

B.It reminds the author of her days at school.

C.It plays a major role in continuing family tradition.

D.It showcases the cooking skills of the author's mother.

【3】What does the underlined word "goodness" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Arancini di riso.

B.Mother' s kindness.

C.The Italian language.

D.Amazing cooking skills.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.Why learning to cook is important for a mother.

B.How the family heritage is taught through food.

C.How childhood experiences change one's life.

D.Why mothers are important in children's education.

【题目】 Would you leave a six-figure job to feed the homeless? This 27-year-old did. Robert Lee’s idea is seemingly simple: Get restaurants to make better use of their leftovers (剩饭菜).

When in primary school, Robert Lee would stare in disbelief at his classmates throwing away half-eaten sandwiches after lunch. His immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food. “They said it was a bad habit,” says Robert, 27.

While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters. In July 2013, with the $1,000 prize won in the a college entrepreneurship (创业) contest, Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC). In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of food to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food.

As an analyst at J.P. Morgan, Robert devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he enlisted (招募) volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. Two years after being founded, RLC had already distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food.

Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just tremendous,” he says. The organization now reaches 16 cities around the country.

“One shelter told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.”

【1】What did Lee do to help the homeless?

A.He worked with with other countries.

B.He built up a network of supermarkets.

C.He employed volunteers to deliver goods.

D.He co-founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine.

【2】What does the underlined word “tremendous” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Slight.B.Huge.

C.Basic.D.Delicate.

【3】What can we learn from Lee’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A.Being a volunteer is of great benefit.

B.People should follow in his footsteps.

C.Everyone can make their contributions,

D.It’s worthwhile sacrificing his well-paid job.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Lee?

A.Devoted.B.Hardworking.

C.Patient.D.Optimistic.

【题目】—Hello. I’d like to have a talk with Mr. Smith staying in your hotel.
