I want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful
lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.
It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of
the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows
that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.
A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity
of a soldier, and a slight limp(瘸). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on
the table where I could see it. Embroidered(绣) on the cap were the words: “Iwo Jima Survivor”.
As they were waiting for lunch, the others talking happily, this gentleman was stating out of the
window. He was content to be left out of the conversation and allowed to take in the wonderful and
impressive view of the waterfall.
I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and
how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in
the world. Yet this tired soldier was smiling at the sky, at the sun and the roaring of the waterfall.
Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.
I walked over to him and said, “Excuse me, sir. I’m sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just
wanted to say thank you for serving.”
He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly, “You’re welcome, and thank you, too.”
I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.

the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Cup, China won the FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Cup.

staff. Lai was one of the members. Shouldering responsibilities as both vice director of China’s Volleyball
Management Center and as assistant coach. Apart from coordinating between coaches and players, Chinese
coaches and foreign coaches and sometimes within Chinese coaches, she also has to do chores. During Rio
2016, assistant coach Yuan Lingxi headed for the arena(竞技场) at 6 am every day to film the matches and
would return to the Olympic Village at 2 am when he would start analyzing China’s opponents and file
reports. There are many Lais and Yuans that are not known by the public, but who remain indispensable for

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s
sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打瞌睡) —if it is milked from a cow at
night.
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(焦虑). The study, by researchers from Seoul, South
Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder(奶粉) made from cows milked both during the day
and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 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 of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,
taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.
Previous(以前的) studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the
calcium content, which helps people to relax.
32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious
C. were less active D. woke up later
33. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.
B. It can make people more energetic.
C. It exists in milk in great amount.
D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.
34. 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
35. 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.

Japan’s famously diligent workers spend more hours at the office than employees in almost any other
country. Authorities have a message: Stay home 36 . Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to
attend Olympic and Paralympic events in Tokyo during the 2020 Games, putting additional pressure on the
city’s already notoriously crowded commuter routes. Officials also hope that promoting working from home
during the Games will encourage a more easy-going approach in a country known for its cases of karoshi, or
death from overwork.
On July 22, one year before the Games, Tokyo rolled out a month-long “Telework Days” campaign,
with government offices and private businesses committing to avoiding peak commuting hours. 37 .

elderly relatives to better balance their work and home responsibilities. Officials hope the campaign will
show firms that employees can actually “work even more effectively” when they stay home.
38 . Such as concerns over the security of sensitive information, the difficulty of controlling
working conditions and the fact that corporate culture stresses the importance of face-to-face communication.
Experts and government officials hope that Olympic efforts to expand telework might serve as
something of a legacy for the Games. “Tokyo 2020 is a chance to actively introduce telework, which can
create a stress-free lifestyle,” said Azuma Taguchi, a professor of engineering at Chuo University. 39 .
And he also urged to take serious measures to tackle Olympic traffic.
40 . “This is a chance to make telework a legacy of the Games that will take root” in Japanese
society, Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko said in a recent forum to promote flexible work. And some
officials are hoping that a more open-minded approach to work could encourage people to take
“workstations”—working remotely from far-flung locations with attractive leisure options.

C. The efforts have also run up against various barriers
D. Tokyo tells workers to stay home to enjoy a new lifestyle

Dear Tom,
How are you getting on? I don’t think this a good idea to travel a lot and visit as many places possible.
Last July Bell pay a visit to Europe. Europe is very beautiful, but his holiday wasn’t very nicely. He visited
several country, and was in each of the countries for only three days. He visited a great many of places of
interest, and was always in a hurry. When he returned from Europe, he was very tiring. So I suggest you spent
your holiday in a different way. You’d better travelled with a friend to one country and visit only one city,
that will do good to your body and mind.

I am sure you can do a good job! Looking forward to your reply!
