At 24, Tiffany Calver might worry she has already peaked (达到顶峰) as a DJ. She
began DJing as a hobby, uploading mixes to her SoundCloud. Her high-energy
selections soon caught the ears of the online station Radar Radio and then Drake’ s
management, leading her to land many firsts.
“I just want to express myself,” she says. “I’m not interested in copying anyone
else’s work; I have to be me. I love artists such as Kojey Radical whose lyrics (歌词)
are so aware of human experiences. There are also great examples set by artists from
the older generation like Ghetts. Ghetts actually cooperated with Kojey on Black Rose,
which is all about colourism — prejudice against darker-skinned women — a huge
problem in the black community (团体).”
“It’s really exciting to see the BBC taking notice of a new generation of
taste-makers in our community. I remember a time when there was no place for
younger voices. Snoochie Shy is taking on the 1Xtra rap (说 唱) from Monday to
Thursday and Charlie Sloth is being replaced by two women, which is huge for one of
the biggest radio stations in the country. I think it’ll have a big effect and encourage
more women to follow suit.”
“It was great to hear women such as Rico Nasty, who is aggressive, succeed last
year because, even as a DJ, I hate it when people tell me I have to ‘play something for
the ladies’. There’s such a rich history of unapologetic women in hip-hop, from Lil’
Kim to Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. Even rappers such as Noname, who might not have as
much of an aggressive sound but can talk about politics in the same song, are not afraid
to show all the layers there are to being a woman. It isn’t just soft and feminine.”
CDAB

CDaniel Lamplugh remembers going shopping with his dad on Black Friday."
Waking up at 6 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving is what I grew up doing," says the
University of New Orleans film student.
A lot has changed since those childhood days. Online retailers( 零 售 商 )have
forced many chains out of business. Consumers are increasingly shopping with their
smart-phones. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future: Most shoppers
are not going all-digital. Surveys show they're eager for good experiences at retail
stores.
This November and December, for the first time ever retailer websites will get
more traffic from mobile users than computer users, predicts Adobe Digital In sights."
We live our lives with a combination of the physical and the digital." says Kit Yarrow,
author of book Decoding the New Consumer Mind. Retailers have to understand it's
not a question of either/or. It's a question of combining the two.
Heather Howe, an MBA student, said," Consumers like shopping on their phones
and online because it's more convenient and because there are more options. I went to
the Vans store to try on shoes and then I actually purchased them online while I was
in the store.
While mobile sales are growing, the widest use smart-phones in stores is
researching products or looking up product information(58 percent), closely followed
checking or comparing prices(54 percent), according to a survey.
"My phone plays a huge role in online shopping, because I am on the email list
for all of my favorite brand. so I get many emails daily informing me of sales, "s
Rachel Lynch, who works at a Boston public-relation agency." Also, a store has an
app that allows me to chat with other users about the products, and read reviews
Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new
product.”
“Electronics and kitchen equipment are definitely online purchases for me, since
they're heavy to get home on
the subway and often cheaper online," says Michael Miller-Ernest, a manager in
Brooklyn,N.Y.

A new study suggests climate conditions in the Sahara Desert, one of hottest,
driest and most deserted areas in the world, have changed from wet to dry about every
20,000 years,
But previous evidence has suggested the Sahara did not always experience such
extreme heat and dry conditions. At times, the Sahara ranged to a very wet climate.
This permitted plants and animals to develop and grow and led to the creation of
human settlements. Now, they have discovered more evidence, which, the lead
researcher David McGee says, supports the idea that the Sahara's climate kept
changing between wet and dry about every 20,000 years.
McGee reported these climate changes were mainly driven by changes in the
Earth's axis(地轴)as the planet travels round the sun. This process affects the amount
sunlight between seasons. Every 20,000 years the Earth receives more strong summer
sunlight. When the Earth’s axis changes again,the amount of sunlight is reduced. This
season change happened continuously every 20,000 years. The other part of the
season produced rainy conditions,resulting in a wetter, greener, plant-rich
environment. When the rainy activity weakens, the climate becomes hot and dry, like
the Sahara remains today.
The scientists based their research on dust collected from ocean sediment(沉积
物 )in the Atlantic Ocean bottom off the coast of West Africa. The dust contained
layers( 层 )of ancient sediment built up over millions of years. Each layer could
contain traces of Saharan dust as well as the remains of life forms. This information
was used to assess over what time period the dust had built up. This led to the overall
finding that the Saharan changes from wet to dry climates happened every 20,000
years.
David McGee said that today we only see the Sahara Desert as an extremely
deserted and "inhospitable" place. The new study suggests that the area's climate has
changes between grasslands and a much wetter environment, and back to dry
climates,even over the last quarter million years. McGee says he thinks the latest
research can be valuable in studying the Sahara's history as it relates to human
settlement.
32.What does the new study find about the Sahara Desert?
A. It is one of the hottest,driest and most deserted.
B. It always experiences extreme conditions because of its position.
C. Its climate changes between wet and dry about every 20,000 years.
D. Its environmental conditions stop plants and animals from surviving.
33.What is the direct reason for Sahara's climate changes?
A. Rainy activity. B. Solar radiation.
C. Human activity. D. Global environment.
34.How did the researchers acquire the evidence?
A. By analyzing ocean life.
B. By studying Sahara's history.C. By collecting dust on the coast.
D. By examining ocean sediment.
35.What does the underlined word"inhospitable"probably mean?
A. Unsuitable to live.
B. Insignificant to study.
C. Unable to explore.
D. Impossible to change. CBDA

Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that
people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it
found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony
Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were
the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. ___36___
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70's.
But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70’s
and 80’s. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns
as they grow older. ___37___The researchers also considered possible influences like,
having young children being unemployed or being single. Bu, they found that
influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
___38___ One theory is that, as people get older, they become more than thankful
for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time
thinking about bad experiences.
___39___In another study, people in their 80’s reported the fewest problems with
the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging
is connected with increased sleep problems. ___40___But except for that, people
reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A. So why will happiness increase with age?
B. Researchers surveyed more than 150, 000 American adults.
C. At that time the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
D. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50's.
E Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.
G. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
----Thomas Macaulay
About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day,
Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave a maths 41 to our class. When the papers were
42 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 43. mistakes
throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 44 in exams. Perhaps that was 45
Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to
46 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked 47 questions, and she didn’t 48 us either. Instead,
she wrote on the blackboard the 49 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then
ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 50 I can say it
was the most important single 51 of my life. Thirty years after being
introduced to Macaulay’s words, they 52 seem to me the best yardstick (准
绳), because they give us a 53 to measure ourselves rather than others.
54 of us are asked to make 55 decisions about nations going to
war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 56 daily to make a great
many personal decisions. Should the wallet, 57 in the street, be put into a
pocket or 58 to the policeman? Should the 59 change received at the
store be forgotten or 60 ? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live
with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
