Best Weekend Projects B When milk arrived on the doorstep When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s. we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a s-year-old boy,I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.‎ Of course. he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mot her would pen a note"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.‎ All of this was about more than convenience. 'There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze, And I remember Mr. Busille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.‎ There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides milk s for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery ‎ Recently, an old milk box in the country side I saw brought back my childhood memories, I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.‎ 24.

He was fully trusted by the family ‎26,Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?‎ A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.‎ B. It has been driven out of the market C. Its service is getting poor.‎ D. It is forbidden by law.‎ ‎27. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?‎ He missed the good old days.‎ B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.‎ C. He needed it for his milk bottles.‎ D. He planted flowers in it.‎ C When women sit together to watch a movie on TV. they usually talk simultaneously(同时的) about a variety of subjects, including children, men,careers and what's happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen-they can't do both and they don t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.‎ During the ad breaks, a man of ten asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally, Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group. they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.‎ Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.‎ There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girl's mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to, and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias, of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.‎ ‎28. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they ‎ A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends B. can both talk and watch the screen at the same time C.think they can have a good time and develop relationships D.have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands ‎29. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hot ‎ A. experience the happy time again B,keep a close tie with her C. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten ‎30. What does the author want to tell us most?‎ A,Women,s brains are better organized for language and communication B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.‎ ‎31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk B. Talking Maintains Relationships C,Women Love to Talk D Men Talk Differently from Women D Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.‎ Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 9 0 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume .‎ Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.‎ The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.‎ Environmentalists don't dispute(i ME) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.‎ ‎32. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?‎ A. Help increase grocery sales B. Recycle the waste material C,Stop things falling off D,Argue for the use of plastic bags ‎33. What does the word"headwinds"in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Bans on plastic bags B. Effects of city development C. Headaches caused by garbage D. Plastic bags hung in trees ‎34. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?‎ A. They are quite expensive B. Replacing them can be difficult C. They are less strong than plastic bags D, Producing them requires more energy ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A,Plastic paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D Garbage Collection and Waste Control 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。‎ When you re on vacation, the temptations to overdo the eating and drinking are everywhere. 36 . But a sensible diet doesn't have to and shouldn't fall by the wayside when on vacation. Below are tips on eating healthfully, yet pleasurably, on the next getaway.‎ Travel with food. 37 Options include whole fruit such as apples, nuts already portioned in quarter-cup serving sizes. If you're traveling by car, you're suggested to take a small cooler along filled with foods like hard-boiled eggs, nut-butter, or turkey sandwiches Fast food can be healthy. Fast-food restaurants abound at airports and at highway rest stops.38 If you enjoy hamburgers. order a single patty, and top it with extra lettuce and tomatoes. Can't resist French fries? Order the smallest size, and eat half.‎ ‎39 Trying the local cuisine is a pleasurable part of any vacation. You can and should let yourself enjoy one cheat food each day, but be selective and pick something that is unique to that destination.‎ Watch those sips. Drinks don't fill you up, and many are packed with sugar and calories. Therefore, it's best to skip sweetened iced teas and lemonades throughout the day. When it comes to alcohol, many cocktails, including margaritas, can easily top 500 calories. 40 .‎ A. When in Rome, spend your money on the food strategically B. They 're not off-limits so long as you order the right foods C. You can drink a light beer or try a lower-sugar mixed wine instead D. Overeating will leave you feeling tired and likely with a few extra pounds E. Stick to a reasonable portion of whatever you choose, and enjoy every bite F. When you have food handy that you like eating, you're far less likely to grab something unhealthy G.

"Maybe if you tell him it's OK to go, he'll go.” So we all said, "Daddy, it's OK and"We love you.” And my mom said,"John, you were such a great dad and I love you.”‎ Suddenly across the room from the old lady in the bed, we heard," Don’t go ,John.”‎ Yeah.

I know that you paid a visit to China ten years ago and you’re coming here again this summer. I’m now writing to tell you some changes that have taken place in our country in the past decade.‎ First, our ways of communication have greatly changed. Ten years ago, we communicated with each other mainly by texting, making phone calls or chatting on QQ. Now we can talk face-to-face online by using Wechat video features. Second, we adopt different ways to pay. When you were here in China, we paid in cash, so we had to bring money with us every day. But now you don’t have to. Just equip your phone with a few apps, you can buy everything ranging from clothes to fresh food. Finally, it is more convenient and time-saving to travel in China with the development of high-speed trains. And you can also hire a car and drive around China on your own.‎ I hope my introduction will be helpful for you. I’m sure you will have a great summer here.‎ ‎ Yours ever,‎ Li Hua
