Take a

18、talk around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty

19、eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walkwith the hope that it would somehow change my life.I embraced the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was

20、 before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document (记录) myself trying to make an effort.One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling.

21、I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails, stopped to look at the beautiful blue skies and listened to music.Im glad I

22、 took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I dont know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didnt want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical

23、 and mental well-being.If youre having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.24. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk?A. Pleased. B. Annoyed.C. Interested. D. Surprised.25. Why did

24、 the author decide to go for a walk three years ago?A. Her friend encouraged her.B. She wanted to challenge herself.C. Her hopelessness drove her to try.D. She was eager to get close to nature.26.

26、appen.D. Take other peoples suggestions seriously.CCompanies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo depend on bottles made of plastic or glass for their packaging. But as customers have become more worried about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.Paper bot

27、tles have many advantages. They are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic bottles, meaning theyll require less energy to produce and to move around.A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles. Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is ke

28、eping a paper bottle from leaking (渗漏). Therefore, many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. Though this liner can be taken away and recycled, many recycling programs dont have the right machines to deal with these liners.A Danish beer company called Carlsberg is working

29、with Paboco on a paper bottle called the “Green Fiber Bottle”. In the future the company hopes to use a “bio-plastic” that will break down naturally over time. A company named Diageo has just announced the first paper bottle thats completely plastic-free. Instead of a plastic liner, a non-plastic co

30、ating will be used on the inside of the bottles. This should make the bottle fully recyclable. Diageo says theyll use the bottle with their whiskey in 2023.However, theres still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic bottles. Companies will need to see how long

31、liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles dont influence the taste. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, its likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.28. What forces many companies to develop paper bottles?A. The cos

32、t of making plastic or glass bottles.B. The customers caring about the environment.C. The energy needed to produce ordinary bottles.D. The difficulty in shaping the plastic or glass bottles.29. Why are plastic liners used inside the bottles?A. To make them easy to recycle.B. To make bottles reusable

33、.C. To prevent liquid from escaping.D. To lower the production cost.30. What can we infer about the making of paper bottles?A. Non-plastic coatings may be hard to recycle.B. Paper bottles cant go without a plastic liner.C. Theres still a long way to go to reach the goal.D. Not all paper bottles are

34、better than glass bottles.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Traditional Bottles or Paper BottlesB. Companies Work to Develop Paper BottlesC. Paper Bottles Are Getting Increasingly PopularD. Advantages and Disadvantages of Paper BottlesDI was sitting at my kitchen table the other day wit

35、h a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for electric water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the cable bill. Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those une

36、xpected bills that always seemed to show up. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.When I was a boy. we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly

37、called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen. I remember slipping there getting a smile, a hug, a kiss and a hot roll from Nanny. Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny quarter. She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can o

38、f coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camps swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand. I took my time because it was always a big decision. It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes.Looking back now I can

39、see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.The old saying is true, “Wit

40、h your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.32. According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure

41、 out?A. Where to get treasures.B. What food and supplies to buy.C. How to sort out these bills at hand.D. How to balance the money available.33.

84、 park. They seem to be enjoying themselves, and it seems that they wont mind what the score will be at all. I think they benefit from this activity in several ways. First, theyre getting some exercise, which is always good for them because its great for health and helps to relax. At the same time, t

85、heyre having fun together, which is important because it builds up their social relationships and their friendships. Also, it is good for boys and girls to do a bit of sports together, because I think playing sports is about having fun with everyone and winning is not the only thing. In the second p

86、hoto, there are four girls talking together in a cafe and laughing. They arent so active as the children in the first photo because theyre not doing a sport, but they are communicating more and share their ideas and experiences. I think they also benefit because they can talk about their problems, relax and also enjoy their friendships. All in all, I think they get a lot from both activities.
