After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to
dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too,
and she would love to spend some time with you.”
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had
made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out
for dinner and a movie. “What's wrong, are you well?” she asked. My mother is the type
of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad
news.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded.
“Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that
very much.”
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I
arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She
waited in the door with her coat on. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant,
was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we
sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through
the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile
was on her lips.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation--nothing extraordinary but
catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the
movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I'll go out with you again, but only if
you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so
suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received
an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had
dined. An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be
there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates -- one for you and the other for your wife.
You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU”
and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important
than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put
off till“some other time”.
24. When the mother heard it was the son's call, she was _______.
A. surprised B. worried C. suspicious D.
puzzled
25. What did the mother mainly talk about to the author during the dinner?A. Her life after the author's marriage.
B. Her memory about the author as a child.
C. Her life since the author's last visit.
D. Her expectation about future reunions.
26. What's the purpose of the author's writing this passage?
A. To teach us how to cherish our family.
B. To tell us to enjoy the present life.
C. To convey the importance of showing respect for our parents.
D. To warn us not to put off what we should do till some time later.
27. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Mother's love B. Next to never C. Precious union D. A
special date
C
A Letter to My Younger Self
Dear 17-year-old self,
When your Laker (洛杉矶湖人队球员) dream comes true tomorrow, you
need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family and friends. This
sounds simple, but you have to take some time to think it over.
I said invest.
I did not say give.
Let me explain.
Purely giving material things to your siblings (兄弟姐妹) and friends may appear
to be the right decision. You love them, and they were always there for you growing up,
so it's only right that they should share your success and all that comes with it. You buy
them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a comfortable
life, right?
But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were
doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.
You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made
you feel good to see them smiling. That was extremely selfish of you. While you were
feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and
ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but taking away the most precious gifts of all: independence and growth.
Understand that you are about to be the leader of the family. This involves making
tough choices, even if your siblings and friends do not understand them at the time.
Invest in their future; don't just give.
Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize
their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with
job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same
level of dedication (全身心投入) that it took for you to get to where you are now and
where you will eventually go.
I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately and don't have
to deal with the struggle of getting rid of the addiction you caused. That addiction only
leads to anger and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself.
As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own
ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much
better as a result.
There's plenty more I could write to you, but at 17, I know you don't have the
attention span (注意力持续时间) to sit through 2,000 words.
The next time I write to you, I may touch on the challenges of mixing blood with
business. The most important advice I can give to you is to make sure your parents
remain PARENTS and not managers.
Before you sign that first contract, figure out the right budget for your parents —
one that will allow them to live beautifully while also growing your business and setting
people up for long-term success. That way, your children's kids and their kids will be
able to invest in their own futures when the time comes.
Your life is about to change, and things are about to come at you very fast. But just
let this sink in a bit when you lay down at night after another nine-hour training day.
Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and
heartache, some of which remains to this day.
Much love,
Kobe

The term “multitasking” originally referred to a computer's ability to carry out
several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life
and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises (大脑训
练 ) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time.
Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may
be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less
productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead
to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss.
In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex (前
额叶脑皮层). Brian scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show
that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a
moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex
“moment of rest” yourself if you've ever dialed ( 拨 电 话 ) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably
occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to anther
thought or task, and then took that “moment” to come back. Research has also
shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency (效率) declines while multitasking,
as compared to when they perform only one task at a time.
Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires
little thought. Most people don't find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the
same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at
one time, people sometimes make mistakes.
We often don't remember things as well when we're trying to manage several
details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to
new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one
of the main reasons we forget people's names---even sometimes right after they have
introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone
checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as
absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key
information being passed on to them.
32. Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?
A. To reduce their stress and anxiety.
B. To develop their communication skills.
C. To help them perform daily tasks more easily.
D. To make them more productive.
33. According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forget who has called?
A. He may leave his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.
B. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.
C. He is probably interrupted by another task.
D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking.
34. People tend to make mistakes when ____.
A. new messages are processed one after another
B. their relationships with others are affected
C. the tasks require little thought
D. they perform several challenging tasks at a time.
35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Multitasking has become a way of life.
B. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.
C. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.
D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.

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。
Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food
is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to
connect to memory and family and place. 36
Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve
dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of
their celebrations. 37 Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own
food, and this is true in America as well.
38 Sometimes food means living on. While the Chinese cooks who
exported“Chinese” food around the world ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes
they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity.
Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it
comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance.
France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12
different markets to get their food. 39
Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food
as a status symbol for some Chinese. 40 In China, people eat food not necessarily
for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in
Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable.
A. Food as survival.
B. Food as community.
C. It's the hardest to give up.
D. The celebratory nature of food is universal.
E. It is an accumulation, a function of your experiences
F. How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural.
G. But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.

Samsung, which once led the smartphone market in India, slid to the third position in
the quarter that ended in
December, even as the South Korean giant continues to make major bets on the rare
handset market that is still
growing.158 million smartphones shipped in India in 2019, up from 145 million the
year before, according to research
firm Counterpoint.
Chinese firm Vivo did better than Samsung and became the second biggest smartphone
seller in India in Q4
2019.Xiaomi, with command over 27% of the market, maintained its top spot in the
nation for the last ten quarters.
Vivo’s annual smartphone shipment grew 76% in 2019.The Chinese firm’s budget S
series of smartphones—priced
between $100 to $150 — mainly helped it beat Samsung, said Counterpoint analysts.
Vivo’s market share jumped 132% between Q4 of 2018 and Q4 of 2019, according to
the research firm.
Vivo and Oppo, on the other hand, have over the years expanded to smaller cities and
towns in the country and
signed deals with merchants.
Xiaomi, which entered India six years ago, sold handsets only through online channels
to cut overhead, but has since
established presence in about 10,000 physical stores.(停20 秒)
