I was raised in a house where my sisters and I weren’t trusted by our mother to manage our ownappearance．As a result，there were rules，and trends were largely ignore
A few years a90，1 was home for a visit when my mom，now in her early 70s，called
me into herbedroom．We were about ready to leave for dinner．“I don’t know what to wear”she complained “You girls always look so good．”
I paused in the doorway and looked at her,wondering if I'd misheard．“What do you mean?”I
asked her．“You know what to wean‘'N0．”she answered．“I don’t．Can you pick something?”I was so surprised．
This was the same woman who，in 1989，told my younger sister she wasn’t allowed to leave the house wearing a pair of ripped(有破洞的)jeans；the same woman who，in high school，called mewhile l was out at a party to ask if my hair was up．“You look better with it down，”she told me，before I could answer
I realized，suddenly,that my mother—always so stron9—not only wanted my opinion，but
needed it．1 pulled a pair of blue jeans from the closet and a light blue sweater from her drawer
“Wear this with your black shoes，”I told her．She did
My mother certainly doesn’t need anyone to take care of her．In fact，she still cares for mygrandmother who lives with her．But with that one question，my mother and I started the role reversal(转变)that happens with all parents and all children，from caregiver to receiver．
Now,if I’m visiting or we’re together,it's rare for her to wear anything without checking with mefirst．But every so often，it seems like she asks me just to be able to disagree with my answer andpick out something on her own．And when she does，I just tell her what I think of the way she looksSometimes it's“great”．And sometimes it’S“awful．’’

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting
a good night’ssleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off-if it is milked from a cow atnight．
Researchers have discovered that“night milk”contains more melatonin(褪黑激素)，which has
been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．
The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from COWS milked both during the day and at night．
Those given night milk，which contained l o times the amount of melatonin，were less active
and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study
published in The Journal o fMedicinal Food
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up tonow,taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of thecalcium content，which helps people to relax．
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattenin9．The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greateryou will put on your body at night．
28．What does the underlined expression“nod off”in the first paragraph mean
A．to nod one’s head B．to feel relaxed
C．to fall asleep D．to keep active
29．According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk
A．started sleep more easily B．were more anxious
C．were Iess active D．woke up later
30．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Night milk and sleep B．Fat，sugar and health
C．An experiment on mice D．Milk drinking and health
31．How does the author support the theme of the text?
A．By giving examples． B．By stating arguments．
C．By explaining statistical data． D．By providing research results．
D
It is often said that Western Europeans speak English．From traveling all through Europe，1 know that this is not entirely true．Some regions of Europe have a 90％of English speaking rate，while in other parts，English is generally a tongue which is impossible to understand．The divide，it seems，lies with the Romance languages．
In Scandinavia，Germany,Belgium，the Netherlands，and the rest of the Western European non-Romance language speaking regions，English seems to be understood and spoken just like the people’S first tongue．In Iceland，I have never experienced English was spoken SO well and SO widely by a non。native speaking country．And I have almost never met a Dutch person who did not speak English almost as well as my countrymen．
But when You move to the south of Western Europe a little,something happens．Englishbecomes a less useful language for travel．You just cross over the
Romance language barrier and into
Spain，Portugal，France，and Italy，where English is spoken at a rate that does not seem to be muchhigher than in China，Latin America，or Southeast Asia．
Traveling through Europe and working at hotel around the world that are popular with Europeans，have given me a deeper view of their usage of foreign languages．The northern Europeans can often speak five or six languages，while the Romance speakers hardly know more than their birth tongue.And if you think that Spanish and Italian are so similar that they can be understood by each other,I tell you that this is completely wrong．Spaniards and Italians don't evenunderstand each other．It is also not a fact that people from both of these countrjes can communicate1n French；only those who put much effort into learning English or have lived abroad for years canspeak English well．
People often say that French people really understand English but refuse to speak it，but fromwatching hundreds of French travelers over the years struggle with English abroad as well as friends in France trying in Vain(徒劳的)to communicate with me，I know thatthis is not true．English is simply not widely spoken there outside the large cities．
32.According to the passage，which statement do you think is TRUE?
A．In Iceland，English is not spoken very well．
B．English is as widely spoken as French in France．
C.spanish and Italian are SO similar that they can be understood easily by each other．
D.Dutch person can almost speak English as well as the author himself．
33．The writer is probably a(n)
A.AmerIcan B．Dutchman C．Frenchman D．Chinese
34．What does“this”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Western Europeans speak English．
B.French people really understand English but refuse to speak it．
C.Hundreds of French travelers struggle with English abroad．
D.Friends in France try in vain to communicate with me in English．
35．Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.a geography textbook B．a fashion magazine
C.a travel journal D．a neWs report
第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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
Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning?Can You
remember what you ate for lunch a week ago?36． .But now,you should be thankful
Scientists from the University of Toronto found that forgetting is actually a key part oflearning，the Independent reported．37．．What kind of information is unnecessary?
Scientists say that．this may have something to do with the environment you live in.38.For example，a supermarket cashier meets many people every day and will probably only remember
them for a short time．But a designer who often meets his or her customers will remember longer．That，s because our brain keeps making new neurons(神经元)from stem ceils，said Paul Frankland，a professor at the University of Toronto
39.，which is important for US to learn and remember．When new neurons grow in
the hippocampus，they delete our old memories．This could explain why we forget 30 much information about the time when we were very young．
However,being forgetful is not always good．When you don’t have enough sleep，You may
have a hard time remembering new information．40．，Matthew Walker from theUniversity of California told the Huffington Post．
A．That’s why we can’t remember things well when we’re not focused
B．There is a special area in our brains called the hippocampus(海马体)
C．Using correct memorizing methods can help improve your memory
D．In fact．getting rid of unnecessary information can help our brains work better
E．You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing
F．Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information
G In an environment that is always changin9，our brains may require US to remember less

You're listening to the Voice of America. VOA's Alice Clarke reports from Cincinnati. A public competition was held last Friday afternoon in a small town near Cincinnati to find out who could eat the most in the shortest time. A man named Alex Baker succeeded in setting a new record. In a time given by the judges, Alex ate 2 big bowlsoffish soup, a whole chicken, half a goose, 10 eggs cooked in different ways with 10 big pieces of bread and a large cake. Besides all these, Alex finished drinking 20 glasses of beer. After winning the competition, the winner went home with
Allan Kninte, a friend of his. As they were coming near his house, Alex suddenly stopped and said, "I say, my friend. Don't tell my wife about the competition until after dinner. I'm afraid she won't give me anything to eat."Alice Clarke, reporter of VOA.
