In 2000,a tiny goose was left behind by his parents in our driveway.He was too young to fly and join the adults.So,we had to bring him onto our back porch to ensure his safety.A week later,the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family.We called the little guy Peeper.
A year passed and we were accustomed to the life of taking care of him.Peeper slept on our back porch each night.My dad would spray off all the goose's droppings daily.Part of this ritual(例行的事)included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop around the house,coming back again once the porch was clean.One evening,my dad threw him up again,but this time,Peeper just flew off and never back again. Twenty years passed,and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.
Geese live to be around 25 years old,are very loyal,and never forget their first home.Even so,it came as a total shock to me when,in 2019,an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home.At first,I assumed it was just another goose.And yet,something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me.
After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly,it became clear to me that this wasn't a random goose.He did all of the same things Peeper used to,like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area.In addition to looking like Peeper's old ways,this goose also responded to the name Peeper.Much to my amazement,my old best friend had returned,20 years later.
This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life.I hope that my children,someday, have the opportunity to connect with nature and a wild being in this same way.People long for connection with the natural world.Through Peeper,I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love.

There has been some claim made by scientists that whether a child might commit the crime in the future or not can be predicted through analysing his behaviour.I totally disagree with this idea and I believe that measures can be taken to avoid children growing to be offenders.
On the one hand,since human nature changes through the time along with the development of people's awareness,wrongdoings are not caused by one's personality.For example,a mischievous child could show unacceptable behaviour in his childhood but with guidance and education from family and school,he can become a paragon of virtue and a law-obeying citizen.Consequently,it is impossible for scientists to make accurate assumption.What is more,living conditions and environmental factors play a major role in deciding one's characters and how children may grow up.There is a connection between crime and poverty.A child from poor family with constant exposure to violence is likely to conduct illegal acts.
On the other hand,it is possible to stop this problem.This can firstly be done by encouraging parents to spend more time with their children,and pay more attention to taking care of their children properly.For example,parents can teach their children to distinguish between good and evil.Secondly,schools should make crime education compulsory.Crime prevention should be added to regular lessons.Therefore,children will be aware of the bad consequences of misdoings and avoid them at all cost.Another solution is posing stricter punishments.As a
result,children would give up any intention of illegal acts when being conscious of severe punishments.
To conclude,I believe that crime is not by nature so scientists cannot jump to any conclusion when studying children's behaviors and actions can be taken to prevent children from growing into a criminal.
28.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word"paragon"in paragraph 2?
A.Model.
B.Student.
C.Destroyer.
D.Victim.
29.Why is a child from a poor family more likely to commit a crime?
A.Because he is short of money.
B.Because he is born with an evil nature.
C.Because he may be misled by bad environment.
D.Because he has no ability to resist temptation.
30.What should parents do to educate their children?
A.Use necessary punishments.
B.Do as the school does.
C.Accompany their children at school.
D.Teach them to tell right from wrong.
31.Which of the following might be the author's opinion?
A.The fox changes his skin,but not his habit.
B.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C.Nature has more power than education.
D.Childhood behavior doesn't determine a person.

According to a new study,the Mediterranean diet could prevent 20,000 deaths resulting from heart attack and stroke(中风)in the UK population.Mediterranean diet is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables,whole grains,herbs,nuts,some fish,dairy and proper red wine.
The Cambridge University researchers gathered data of about 24,000 people from Norfolk,UK for a period over 20 years.The team tracked the effect of the diet on the group's heart health.They found that 12.5% of the deaths caused by cardiovascular(心血管的)issues could be avoided by following the Mediterranean diet.With heart attack and stroke responsible for around 160,000 death in the UK every year, eating healthy foods could be helpful in preventing some 20,000 deaths,the study suggests.
Dr Nita Forouhi,the lead study author from the University of Cambridge,stressed that following the Mediterranean style of eating is one important part of the overall approach.Not smoking and being able to keep your weight,cholesterol(胆固醇)levels and blood pressure within a healthy range are other important factors that help reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.This work highlights the importance of a well-balanced diet,which means including something from a wide range of healthy foods available to us and not just super foods that are often advertised for their all-inclusive health benefits.Restricting the intake of sugar,salt and fats also keep your heart fit and healthy.
The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence(NICE)already recommends a Mediterranean way of eating for people who have ever had cardiovascular events.This study shows that this diet may be beneficial for all,in terms of lowering their risk factors for heart attack and stroke.
32.How many will still die of cardiovascular disease if all English people take the healthy diet?
A. 20,000.
B.125,000.
C.140,000.
D.160,000.
33.How is the study conducted?
A.By doing comparative experiments.
B.By evaluating survey information.
C.By analyzing previous data.
D.By tracking participants for a long time.
34.What do we know about Mediterranean diet?
A.It's a well-balanced diet.
B.It contains no fat and salt.
C.It has all-inclusive health benefits.
D.It can cure cardiovascular disease.
35.In which section of the website can you find this article?
A.Sport.
B.Health.
C.Education.
D.Culture.

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。
The Pursuit of Happiness
There are plenty of reasons to seek happiness.Research has shown that arthritis(关节炎)patients who have a"positive affect"are able to take more daily steps than those who are unhappy.36 Plus, experiencing joy just feels good.So,here are some small,surprising ways to feel happier.
According to a 2014 study in Psychological Science,writing in a journal can make people happy,even if the entries are ordinary.We tend to forget the little things in life that bring us pleasure.37
Another thing you can do to keep happy is to have some kind of goal or principle that orients your life and moves you into the future.38 Either way,it should be one that motivates you and organizes the activities of your day around something greater than yourself.
39 "Literary fiction is shown to increase brain activity and improve our capacity for empathy, compassion and understanding,"says Neil Pasricha,the author of seven books on happiness(including the upcoming You Are Awesome).He recommends paper books to reduce screen time.
40 Whether they're romantic partners,friends,children or co-workers,other people help remind us of what's important in life and help us weather the ups and downs of personal and
political problems.They usually cannot solve these problems,but they can comfort you emotionally and soften the impact of real-world issues.
A.Strong relationships are also key to happiness.
B.Keeping healthy is the first step to happiness.
C.It could be a big goal or a more personal option.
D.Reading pages of a novel every day will make you happier.
E.You can set your goals with the help of your friends or parents.
F.But documenting those ordinary moments allows us to rediscover them.
G.Merry people tend to avoid getting sick during flu season,and they even live longer.
