M: Can I help you?

W: Yes. I know it’s rather late for a reservation, but we are three friends, and we’d like to travel to Greece in July.

M: Where would you like to stay?

W: We’ve been told Mykonos is one of the best islands there. Would that be possible?

M: Quite difficult in July. Anyway, how long would like to stay?

W: Two weeks. And, um… we cannot spend more than 100 a day.

M: For that price you won’t have many choices, I’m afraid. But let me find out. If you could arrange to make it in late June, I might have a bed-sitting room for 75. It could provide 3 single beds, and it’s 5 minutes’ walk from the main beach.

W: What’s the name of the beach?

M: Super Paradise.

W: Just fancy! My parents went there on their honeymoon and they still keep advising people to go there! I need to talk it over with my friends, though.

M: Well, talk with your friends, come to an agreement and give me a ring again. Remember we only have a month left, so you need to make up your mind today or tomorrow!

W: I will, thank you.

【题目】 Recent years have witnessed the growth of luxury(奢侈品) brands. It's clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.

I am a fashionista too, at least in spirit I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don't understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that's a scary thing.

What's interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn't lead to happiness.

Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don't suddenly become "happy" people. In fact, a series of studies have shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those on material things. That's because experiences are more easily integrated into a person's identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things" are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.

It's natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn't tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style.

You don't have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.

1What's the author's attitude towards luxury consumption?

A.Favorable.B.Negative.C.Positive.D.Unconcerned.

2What's the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A.Material things can't bring about joy.B.Experiences sink into personality.

C.It's better to invest in experiences.D.Others' preference is of importance.

3Why are Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg mentioned in the text?

A.To honor the two successes.B.To advocate their experience.

C.To support the author's argument.D.To inspire young people's ambition.

4What is the underlined sentence intended to express?

A.Do mind your financial security.B.Do try to make more money.

C.Don't rob a bank for luxuries.D.Don't spend much on your image

【题目】 Even in the best and most loving of times, families can feel impossibly confined (受限制的). Teens are irritable and furious. Parents are annoying and embarrassing. For Esther and her daughter Chaya, the tiny new coronavirus changed all that.

Esther was born in Wuhan-a dynamic and culturally rich place that she deeply loves but moved to the U.S. During the winter holiday, they went to Wuhan to visit Esther’s parents. Gradually at first, then more frequently, they noticed face masks on city streets. To be safe, they wore their own masks and stopped going to public gatherings. Then, suddenly the city was on lockdown. No one could leave. Their reservations home on a China Southern airlines flight were worthless. “I feared for my daughter’s life,” said Esther, “If it got worse, there could be chaos. She doesn’t speak much Chinese.”

For days, Esther repeatedly called and emailed for help. It was nonstop. She stayed online, checking all the time. Chaya felt distressed and helpless. It's awful seeing her mother go through that-without having anything she could do to help in the hotel.

Their luck changed with one email. For the 1,000 Americans stuck in Wuhan, there were 230 available seats on one outbound flight, it said. Esther bought two $1,100 seats. After a 12-hour wait at the airport, they got clearance to leave, and arrived at March Air Force Base, where they were isolated in two small connected rooms with a shared bath for two weeks. There were daily medical checkups, twice daily temperature checks and a 10 a m. briefing (简报). But there was no WiFi, TV or friends. For emotional support, Esther phoned her husband Haim, an engineering manager for Uber, and their two other children, ages 13 and 11.

Now home, they are basking in (沉浸于) the thrill of phone calls, TV interviews and a caring community. They’ve gotten little sleep. Suitcases remain unpacked. But anyhow, they have survived not just the outbreak of a virus but the unforgettable experience of mother-daughter togetherness.

1What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A.The culture and vitality of Wuhan have attracted Esther and Chaya there.

B.The virus has affected people's life in Wuhan.

C.The flight of going back to the U.S. has been postponed.

D.The city was locked down because it was in chaos.

2What caused Chaya's depressed mood?

A.Seeing her mother suffer from reaching out for help.B.Being kept in Wuhan for poor health.

C.Missing her family and friends at home.D.Being unable to speak Chinese.

3Why were they isolated after Esther and Chaya arrived at the airport?

A.The concern of their safety as well as the public’s.

B.Their infection of the virus.

C.The lack of flight home.

D.Their emotional problems after the experience.

4What is the best title of the text?

A.Life in Wuhan: fighting the virus together.

B.Life about people infected by the virus.

C.Life about a mom and teen united by a virus.

D.Life about a mom and daughter from the U.S.

【题目】 Over a four-year period, Swiss researchers have developed a machine that can keep human livers ()alive outside of the body for one week.

Livers are among the most commonly transplanted (移植)human organs. Current technology can only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8.000 liver transplants were performed in the U.S., of which 360 used livers from living givers In addition, about 11,500 people were registered on a waiting list to receive a liver transplant. Keeping livers alive and functioning for longer periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.

The researchers say the purpose of their “Liver4Life” machine is to perform what they call liver perfusion (灌注)operations outside of the human body. Perfusion is the process by which blood or other liquids are pumped through organs and tissue. The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes waste.

The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs. After repeated testing and engineering development, they succeeded in getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only provided from the Liver4Life machine. They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers. The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine-treated organs into patients.

Pierre-Alain Clavien. leader of the research said in a statement. “This technology will greatly increase the number of livers available for transplant, improving the chances of survival for patients. The success of this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.”

1What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A.Introduce a brand new topic for discussion.

B.Provide some latest data about present liver transplants.

C.Show the urgency of tech improvement in liver transplants.

D.Remind readers concerned of the importance of a healthy liver.

2What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The machine.B.The liver.

C.The temperature.D.The tissue.

3What can we learn about the Liver4Life machine?

A.It is among the most commonly used machines for liver transplants.

B.It is aimed to carry out liver perfusion operations in the human body.

C.It can perform several functions to keep the liver working normally.

D.It can be used to keep the pig livers alive for more than one week.

4Where is this text most likely from?

A.A biology textbook.B.A first aid brochure.

C.A social web page.D.A health magazine.
