Just look for restaurants that hire people with disabilities，which are making the world a more inclusive place.

With hard work，a strong passion and an amazing team，Hugs Café opened its doors in 2015.“Hugs Café is now so much more than a job to our 23 teammates，which is enhancing the meaningful lives of adults with special needs through training and employment at Hugs Café. Thompson says.‎ Vinny＆Bay’s Coffee and Eatery: Panama City，Florida ‎“A lot of people plan their vacations around coming to this coffee shop，”says café owner Kara Rigby.

Rigby says that her employees” have a whole lot more abilities than disabilities. They love unconditionally，and it changes the whole environment and business.” Rigby believes that incorporating even just one or two disabled individuals into a business can change the whole atmosphere—for the better!‎ Sugar Pl um Bakery: Virginia Beach，Virginia Head to Sugar Plum Bakery to find a delicious carrot cake and see people with disabilities successfully working alongside none—disabled workers.

He lives in our home country of Germany. We speak German to each other, a language that's rich in strange words, but I've never heard this one before: fremdschämen.‎ The experience gets me to consider: can we lose our mother language? Most immigrants (移民)know what it’s like to be not as good at their mother language as before. The process seems obvious: the longer you are away, the more your language suffers. But it’s not quite so straightforward. It turns out that how long you've been away doesn't always matter. Socializing with other native speakers abroad can worsen your own native skills. And emotional factors like trauma(精神创伤) can be the biggest factor of all.‎ In children, the phenomenon of language attrition (语言磨蚀)is somewhat easier to explain since their brains are generally more flexible and adaptable. Until the age of about 12, a person’s language skills are relatively easy to change. Studies on international adopters have found that even nine-year-olds can almost completely forget their first language when they are removed from their country of birth.‎ But in adults, the first language is unlikely to disappear entirely except in extreme circumstances. For example, Monika Schmid analyzed the German of elderly German-Jewish wartime refugees(难民) in the UK and the US. The main factor that influenced their language skills wasn't how long they had been abroad or how old they were when they left. It was how much trauma they had experienced as victims. Those who left Germany in the early days of Nazi occupation, before the worst violence, tended to speak better German – despite having been abroad the longest. Those who left later, tended to speak German with difficulty or not at all.‎ ‎“It seemed very clearly a result of this trauma”, says Schmid. “Even though German was the language of childhood, home and family, it was also the language of painful memories”. The most traumatized refugees had held them back. As one of them said: “I feel that Germany betrayed me. America is my country, and English is my language.”‎ ‎24．What does the first paragraph serve as?‎ A．A comment B．A background C．An explanation D．An introduction ‎25．What do paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?‎ A．How two languages coexist B．The way to deal with adult’s trauma C．The reasons behind adult’s language attrition.‎ D．Whether trauma leads to adult’s language attrition.‎ ‎26．Why does trauma cause a person's mother language to disappear?‎ A．Because he can’t remember his mother language.‎ B．Because his ability to communicate is affected.‎ C．Because his country is far from him .‎ D．Because he chooses to escape from bad experiences.‎ ‎27．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Where does your native language come from?‎ B．Will you lose your native language?‎ C．How does trauma affect your first language?‎ D．How far are you from your mother tongue C Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary. Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't".‎ Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.‎ With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.‎ ‎"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and ‎ has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.‎ ‎"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."‎ Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.‎ ‎28．The word CAN'T will be removed from the two dictionaries because of ______.‎ A．the first woman pilot B．a very special flight service C．a great flight with a light-spot aircraft D．the flight in a seemingly impossible way ‎29．According to Parrish Traweek, Jessica Cox_____.‎ A．flies the plane by standing in it B．is good at driving a car with her legs C．has been her workmate for two years D．is one of the best pilots trained by her ‎30．What can be known from the text?‎ A．Jessica Cox has been armless for 25 years.‎ B．Jessica Cox was normal when she was young.‎ C．There are no suitable prosthetic devices for Jessica Cox.‎ D．The doctors have discovered how Jessica Cox lost her arms.‎ ‎31．The best title for the text may be "_______".‎ A．Flying with no hands B．Jessica Cox, a disabled pilot C．Living with a positive attitude D．Two words will disappear from dictionaries D ‎ Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.‎ However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more ‎ practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.‎ This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.‎ Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ ‎32．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.‎ A．the meaning of success B．the reasons for success C．the standards of success D．the importance of success ‎33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.‎ A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work C．it takes a lot of time to succeed D．one gives up his work easily ‎34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?‎ A．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.‎ B．Successful people like to show their great skills.‎ C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.‎ D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.‎ ‎35．What is the main theme of the passage?‎ A．Having a goal is vital to success.‎ B．Being good is different from being great.‎ C．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.‎ D．One cannot succeed without time and practice.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Unless you think you're the smartest, who doesn't want to be smarter? Of course I want to be smarter too. So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from.36．‎ ‎▲ They probably do social media. Not always, but probably.37．.

They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself.‎ ‎▲ If they are managers, they will make every effort to get people more connected and more popular than them in their teams.40． They 're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic.(相互促进的）‎ A．It is not only a chance to listen.‎ B．They know it is an advantage to them.‎ C．They take it as a personal challenge instead.‎ D．They will be smiling even when things go wrong.‎ E. Now I've got an answer about whether someone's smart.‎ F. They also ensure their smart people look smarter than them.‎ G. They deal with home, work and personal interests perfectly.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Skylynn always had a love for reading.
