2．There is no way to make somebody stop smoking，and just like with users of any drug，it is very unlikely a person will stop unless he or she wants to．（36）G
Step One：Make Observations
Smoking use can affect memory and make it difficult for people to do well at work or school．Other bad effects that you may notice include：（37）B
Is she getting sick more often than she used to？
Write down your concerns using"I"statements，such as"I feel sad that when you smoke you give up your artwork．"（38）D
Step Two：Approach the Person
Bring up your concerns to your friend at a relaxing time．Express your concerns using the statements you wrote down．Tell him you will be there to support him if and when she decides to give up smoking．He will likely give you one of three responses：
He wants to quit．
（39）A
He wants to stop，but not yet．
You must be willing to calmly accept any of these responses．If he says he does want to stop，go on with the next step．If not，they will have to be visited later when he is ready．
Step Three：Prevent Him Giving Up Halfway
（40）E
However，symptoms only appear after some time of quitting smoke．This causes some who are addicted to believe that they are not actually addicted and to start using again．

A．He doesn't want to quit．
B．Does this person appear more nervous？
C．Are you lazy because you smoke too much？
D．It's best to approach the person in this manner．
E．People can become physically dependent on smoking．
F．The drug can't stay in the system for a long period of time．
G．But there are steps you can take to support a friend or family member．

1．我们不得不接受这个事实，很多青少年的饮食不均衡．（同位语从句）
We have to accept the fact that a large number of teenagers are not on a balanced diet/don't have/eat/keep a balanced diet．．

20．Did you know that money is not worth the paper it is printed on？Money is really just a symbol．（31 ）BLong ago，people did not use money．They made or grew food，clothes，and other things they needed．Later，people started trading．They would trade what they made to someone else in order to get different foods and goods．To trade like this is to barter（物物交换）．
The barter system was a good system．Bakers could trade bread for wheat．Weavers could trade cloth for meat．Trading not just let people work at certain jobs．（32）EBut one problem with bartering was that not everyone agreed on prices．People had to work out a price each time they wanted to trade．Another problem was that the goods might be too heavy to carry．What if the cow farmer wanted to trade a cow for a horse with the horse farmer？They would have to carry their animals with them．（33）DWhat if the cow farmer wanted to trade a cow for a chicken？A cow is worth more than a chicken．The farmer should get"change．"But how can you make change from a cow？
（34）APeople used to use all kinds of small things for money．They used shells，beads，feathers，seeds，and even salt．A group of people would decide the worth of a kind of shell．Other kinds of shells would be worth more or less．Then people had money that was worth a certain amount．It was easy to carry．It was easy to make change．
With time going by，we finally have the money that we use today．（35）F

A．This is where money comes in．
B．That means it stands for something else．
C．They made clothes from wool from their sheep．
D．Bartering did not have a way to make change，either．
E．It also gave people a way to buy things they needed．
F．With money，we don't have to travel with chickens，cows，or clay pots!
G．When people traded，they no longer had to make everything they needed．

18．When home is far away，the sense of ease and belonging that so many people feel can transform into painful feelings of longing，commonly known as homesickness．Along with feelings of insecurity，loss of control and nervousness，physical effects，including sleep issues，tiredness and loss of appetite，are also caused by homesickness．（31）ECheck them out below：
●Realize that feeling homesick is 100 percent normal．
Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place-some people might just be better at hiding it．（32）DHomesickness is a normal and evolutionarily healthy reaction．
●Make connections with new people in comfortable settings．
Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to be with those supportive people．（33）GWhen making new connections，it's best to stick to the style that works for you in order to ease homesickness．
●（34）B
This point is vital and also one of the hardest to accomplish．Self-compassion is loving yourself just as you love the ones you care about．The most important step in practicing self-compassion is substituting negative，critical and，sometimes，automatic thoughts about yourself with thoughts that are more supportive and kind．
●Keep tabs on your negativity．
It's also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event，such as being separated from loved ones，and how much is from how you're understanding a situation．（35）FA positive outlook on a situation can do wonders for your mood，but it often can be hard to practice．You can silence negative thoughts in many ways，including reciting positive mantras（祷文），keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park．
If you're dealing with feelings of homesickness，remember you're not alone．Even though there's no place like home，give yourself some time and care，and you might find yourself falling in love with a new place．

A．Learn to help others．
B．Practice self-compassion．
C．Being homesick is abnormal．
D．Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming．
E．We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness．
F．Taking a step back is recommended，instead of falling into the trap of a negative outlook．
G．But keep in mind that everyone is different when it comes to forming those new relationships．

17．On June 23，2010，a Sunny Airlines captain with 32years of experience stopped his flight from departing．He was deeply concerned about a power part that might run out of all electrical power on his trans-Pacific flight．Regardless of his concerns，Sunny Airlines pressured him to fly the airplane over the ocean at night．When he refused to put the safety of his passengers at risk，Sunny Airlines'Security removed him out of the airport，and threatened to arrest his crew if they did not cooperate．
Besides that，five more Sunny Airlines pilots also refused to fly the aircraft，expressing their own concerns about the safety of the plane．It turned out the pilots were right：the power part was faulty and the plane was removed from service and finally fixed．Eventually a third crew operated the flight，hours later．In this whole process，Sunny Airlines pressured their highly experienced pilots to ignore their safety concerns and fly passengers over the Pacific Ocean at night in a plane that needed maintenance．Fortunately for all of us，these pilots stood strong and would not be frightened．
Don't just take our word．Please research this yourself and learn the facts at www．SunnyAirlinePilot．org．Once you review this shocking information，please keep in mind that while their use of Corporate Security to remove a pilot from the airport is a new procedure，flight crews'lacking confidence is becoming common at Sunny Airlines，with recorded events occurring on a weekly basis．
The flying public deserves the highest levels of safety．No airlines should maximize their gains by pushing their employees to move their airplanes regardless of the potential human cost．Sunny Airlines'pilots are committed to resisting any practices of damaging your safety for profits．We've been trying to deal with these problems behind the scenes for quite some time；now we need your help．Go to www．SunnyAirlinePilot．org to get more information and find out what you can do．

15．Food waste is a growing problem both in America and across the globe．In North America alone about 30-40% of food ends up as rubbish each year．While much ends up as rubbish，over 48 million Americans live in households that do not have enough food!Now，concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some creative ideas．
In New York's Westchester County，students at 18schools join in a program called We Future Cycle．Started by Anna and Ashley in 2014，it teaches kids to recycle，compost（堆肥），and most importantly control food waste in an easy and efficient manner．
Lunch areas at those schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost，recycle and share．While the first two are common in schools，the third is rare．This is the bin where kids can put their unwanted drinks，fruits，and even untouched sandwiches．Food there is available for any student that wants them．Whatever remains at the end of the day is given to the local soup kitchen or food bank．Anna says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags produced at the mid-day meal from an average of 22to just 2!
To ensure kids form similar habits at home，the non-profit has created plans to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling，composting，and food to donate．They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices．
Kids are not the only ones that waste food．Adults are equally bad，if not worse!To fight that，Brooklyn-based Josh founded Salvage Super Club in 2014．The randomly organized dinners promise customers a multi-course meal for merely 50dollars per person．The delicious food is made from perfectly safe ingredients（成分）that are past their prime and，therefore，headed for the compost or trash bin．

27．The underlined word"awareness"in Paragraph 1probably means？A
A．understanding
B．hope
C．doubt
D．value
28．What do students at Westchester County do to save food？B
A．Use dustbins instead of plastic bags for left-over food．
B．Put their unwanted food in the bins and learn to share．
C．Get the children to educate their parents at home．
D．Only get single-course food for 50dollars when eating out．
29．What can we infer from Paragraph 5？C
A．Parents are to blame for the children's bad habits．
B．Parents do not encourage children to save food．
C．Parents are as wasteful as children about food．
D．Parents have set an example for the children．
30．Which of the following will the passage be likely to continue with？D
A．More information about food bank．
B．How to improve food production．
C．The importance of saving food．
D．Other creative ways to save food．

14．This brief book is aimed at high school students，but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．Its formal，serious style closely matches its content，a school-masterly book on schooling．
The author，W．H．Armstrong，starts with the basics：reading and writing．In his opinion，reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page； it means taking in the information，digesting it and combining it with oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life，not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other； in fact，the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion，which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages，math，science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally，except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion（激情）regarding history to his students，that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment，in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact，they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do，though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired，actually，learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．
My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s．As a result，the discussion misses the entire computer age．
These are small points，though，and don't affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher，including the self-taught student．

24．According to Armstrong，the goal of reading is toC．
A．gain knowledge and expand one's view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
25．The author of the passage insists that learning the artsA．
A．requires great effort
B．demands real passion
C．is less difficult than learning maths
D．is as natural as learning a language
26．This passage is most probablyB．
A．an advertisement
B．a book review
C．a feature story
D．a news report．
