3．With all of the wonderful things life brings us，it also brings us stress．It is for this reason that I am an active supporter of mental health days．
Although it's never good to ignore（忽视） responsibilities，sometimes it is good to unplug（拔除） from the world for a day．We eat healthy and stay active to keep us from getting sick，but sometimes we forget to care for our minds．Our minds and bodies are connected，and when only one is being cared for，the other may be suffering．It is important to try to combine self care with our lives and spend time on activities we enjoy．This helps relieve stress on a daily day．
So，what do you do on a mental health day？The answer is anything you want．Growing up，my brother and I were allowed a few mental health days a year．We would stay home from school and relax．For him，it was playing games on the computer，while my days were spent reading or watching TV．My mental health days now include picking things up around my apartment，cooking a tasty meal，and then reading for a few hours．I completely shut myself off from work or school．To me，this is relaxing．Organize the clutter（凌乱的东西） that piles up during the week，cook the meals I don't have time to cook，and read the books that I've bought but don't have time to read．
A mental health day is great，but only if it's supplemented（增补） with self care through the week．From my experience，if self care is not regularly provided in your week，taking a mental health day is just going to stress you out even more．But when it's needed，try hard to recognize that and take care of yourself．It will help keep you happy and healthy．A mental health day is not a day to avoid life，it is a day to recoup（恢复）．

32．What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A
A．People tend to ignore their mental health．
B．People should care for each other．
C．One should have a strong sense of responsibility．
D．Mental health is less important than physical health．

D．do whatever they want．
34．What did the author's brother do on mental health days as a kid？B
A．He cooked for his family．
B．He played computer games．
C．He watched TV programs
D．He read the books he bought．

D．one should try to be physically friendly．

2．Food serves as a form of communication in two basic ways．Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust．Food can also have a special meaning，and play an important role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions．The foods we eat-and when and how we eat them-are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural（郊区的） and urban（市区的） areas within one country．
Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion（时刻） or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness．Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests．Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread．
Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations．In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread stand for blocks of gold for prosperity（兴旺） in the New Year．In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita．A coin is put into the cake，which signifies（预示） success in the New Year for the person who receives it．
Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role．In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests．In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity．
Nutrition（营养） is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world．

A．indicates a lack of food．

1．In the early morning，I head for the back door and find 10 inches of snow covering our home．Oh no，Bryan will have to clear the roof again，I think．But Rio rolls onto his back，playing in the white snow and kicking his back legs，delighted．His days in an animal shelter in New Mexico are long forgotten-he's wholeheartedly enjoyed life as a Colorado dog．
Rio needs a walk．I've planned to attend an emergent webinar，but my husband is busy clearing．Rio pushes my leg with his snout（口鼻部），wondering why we are still inside．We're late for our morning hike．I pull on my boots reluctantly．I don't have time for this!
Rio and I walk a block through our neighborhood to the beginning of a road．Rio jumps happily into the snow，which is up to his neck．But I walk slowly with heavy steps，worrying about my to-do list，and I don't notice the world around me until Rio starts barking．
A squirrel （松鼠） chitters at him from a high branch of a pine tree．We haven't seen a squirrel in at least a week because of all the snow storms，so this is a treat for us．
Once again，my animal teacher is reminding me to enjoy the present moment，and I'm grateful．I take a deep breath and look around．Suddenly there is an explosion（爆炸） of snow．a nearby tree has released its heavy burden，snapping（迅速恢复） back upright．Silver snowflakes（雪花） dust the air around me as a group of birds flees the area，talking to one another as they fly overhead．
I watch and listen in wonder for what seems like a full minute．There will be 1440munites on this day，but this is the one I'll remember most．Then I look back to the earth and there is my sweet dog，waiting patiently for a treat．He knows I'll want to celebrate this moment we've just shared．"I love you，Rio!"I say as I give him a cookie．He has trained me well!
When we walk home，I smile broadly，spirit washed clean，ready for whatever the day may bring．

18．Growing up，we never had an artificial（人工的） Christmas tree-or a cut one，for that matter．Instead，about a week before Christmas，my parents would pull in a balled or potted（球形或盆栽的） evergreen．Daddy said it made"good cents．"Mother said it was a meaningful tradition．
After moving the heavy tree into the house，Mother would decorate it．It took a long time，but decorating the tree was an exciting family event，and after we finished we'd gather around the piano to drink eggnog and sing Christmas carols．
On a warm Saturday morning after New Year's Day，we'd all go into the backyard，pick a site and plant our Christmas tree．Each year，the yard got a little woodsier（树木多的） as we continued to add new spruce（云杉） or pine specimens．On warm evenings，we loved to sit in chairs and watch the fireflies flit in and out of the branches，as if trying to create their own Christmas tree light display．
One summer afternoon-some 40years later-I drove by that childhood home and slowed down to savor the memories．The new owners were working in their yard，but when they saw me they stopped and came over to talk．When I told them that I had grown up there，they took me on a tour．When we walked into the backyard，I caught my breath and fought back tears．I was standing in a forest．The couple explained they were from California and had been drawn to the home because of the huge evergreens out back．
When I walked over to admire a Colorado blue spruce，a glint（反光） of silver caught my eye．I could hardly believe it，but sure enough，a piece of tinsel（金属箔） was still wrapped around a branch，shining in the sun．
Somehow，through almost half a century of Oklahoma heat and cold，that remnant（痕迹） of our holiday tradition survived，much like my fond memories of our backyard Christmas trees-memories that have become more treasured with each passing year．
