Photography has been my passion ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but

today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didn’t take any of

them. There were no art directors, no stylists, no chance for re shoots, not even any regard for

lighting. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists.

My story begins when I was in New York City for a speaking engagement, and my wife

took this picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We’re on the corner of 57th

and 5th. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the

same picture.

Approaching my daughter’s third birthday, my wife said, “Hey, why don’t you take

Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip?” This is when we started asking

passing tourists to take the picture.

You know, it’s remarkable how universal the gesture is of handing your camera to a total

stranger. No one’s ever refused, and luckily no one’s ever runoff with our camera.

Back then, we had no idea how much this trip would change our lives. It’s really become

sacred to us. This one was taken just weeks after 911, and I found myself trying to explain

what had happened that day in ways a five-year-old could understand.

So, these photos are far more than a specific ’re also ways for us to freeze time

and reflect on our times and how we change from year to year, and not just physically, but in

B．It can apply $32.20 coupon.

D．It is for medical students.

every way. Because while we take the same photo, our views change, and she reaches new

milestones, and I get to see life through her eyes, and how she interacts with and sees

everything. This very focused time we get to spend together is something we treasure and

expect the entire year. One of the most important things we all make is memories.

So, I want to share the idea of taking an active role in consciously creating memories. I

want to encourage everyone today to get in the shot, and don’t hesitate to go up to someone

and ask, “Will you take our picture? Thank you.”

4．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To encourage us to take photos.

B．To inform us of the author’s life.

C．To introduce the topic of the passage.

D．To tell us the skills of photography.

5．Why did the author’s wife suggest a father-daughter trip?

A．Their daughter’s coming third birthday.

B．Their attending a speaking engagement.

C．Their asking passers-by to take photos.

D．Their appreciation for strangers’ help.

6．What does the underlined part probably mean?

A．These photos were taken by strangers.

B．These photos carry valuable memories.

C．These photos show just a usual trip.

D．These photos were expensively taken.

7．What is the author’s attitude in the passage?

A．Disapproving.

There is a dangerous view in today’s society, and it is a restriction to happiness, success,

and growth. The view states that human beings are inner fragile (内在脆弱) and that the only

way to be happy and successful in life is to protect oneself by avoiding misfortune.

Not only are those statements false, but the actions we take believing them-to be

“protective” also usually limit happiness and even stop personal and professional growth.

Take sports as an example, seldom do those who play the game of life not to lose ever really

win.

试卷第3页，共10页

B．Positive. C．Uncertain. D．Fearful.

Rather than fear and try to avoid all misfortune, perhaps we should accept the misfortune

and the occasional crises in life and prepare for them. As a muscle grows stronger with stress,

so can people, teams, organizations, even communities. Crisis reveals true strength.

Sports psychologists Fletcher and Sarkar have studied Olympic gold medal winners.

They conclude, “Indeed, most of the participants argued that if they had not experienced

certain types of stressors at specific times, including highly demanding misfortunes, they

would not have won their gold medals.”

Psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun created the term “posttraumatic

growth.” They describe it as the experience of positive change that occurs as a result of highly

challenging life crises. It is shown in a variety of ways, including an increased appreciation

for life in general, more meaningful interpersonal relationships, an increased sense of

personal strength, changed priorities, and a richer existential and spiritual life.

The remarkable success stories that can arise after moments of great challenge and

failure are countless. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times trying to create a light bulb

filament (灯丝) that would light and burn in a consistent manner, but finally created the

world’s first practical light bulb. Harland Sanders developed the brand Kentucky Fried

Chicken (KFC) in his 60s while recovering from a failed career as a lawyer. There are

thousands of other lesser-known people, whose lives are characterized by key moments of

great recovery from difficulty. Let us understand that growth arises from challenge and even

failure. The myth of fragility and overprotection keeps us all from realizing our full potential.

8．What does the “dangerous view” say about people?

A．People are born shy.

C．People want wealth.

B．People are afraid of misfortune.

D．People are often in need of help.

9．What is the author’s opinion about misfortune?

A．It’s a must in life and the more, the better.

B．It mostly comes from our fragile inner heart.

C．It’s often met by world famous sports stars.

D．It should be treated with the right attitude.

10．What does the two psychologists’ term imply?

A．A failed life is not worth living at all.

B．People need always lead a worriless life.

C．Positive changes will occur after crises.

试卷第4页，共10页

D．Try not to express our opinions in public.

11．Why are the stories of Thomas Edison and Harland Sanders inspiring?

A．They made great inventions.

C．They didn’t easily give up.

A spoonful of pickles (榨菜) can sometimes make a meal taste way better. Recently, a

new type of pickle is being discussed: “digital pickled vegetables”. It refers to the videos

which people watch while eating. And these videos will make their food more delicious.

The topic received more than 16 million clicks on Sina Weibo and about 100,000 people

participated in the discussion. Instead of being accompanied by friends and family during a

meal, many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos. Many

believe that their food is tastier with the “digital pickles”.

Can this habit affect your diet? According to a research paper published in 2019, you

may eat more unconsciously. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow

different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at

the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction. After analyzing their diets, the

team discovered that eating with a distraction increased caloric ingestion (卡路里摄入) by

about 15 percent.

To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people：one group ate while

listening to an audio clip about another person eating and the other listened to a clip that

helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less

since they were more focused on their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our

attention can be –distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.

This works not only for eating meals but other demanding tasks as well. A research

project led by the University of Sussex, UK, pointed out that activities which require lots of

attention tick many participants into overeating. The team invited 120 participants to do

various tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. “Our study suggests that if you’re

eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a highly engaging task, you’re less

likely to be able to tell how full you feel,” one of the authors Martin Yeomans explained.

12．What are digital pickles according to the first paragraph?

A．Vegetables which are made at home.

B．Videos that make people eat more.

D．They restricted their potential.

D．Audio clips that teach people to cook.

13．What does the second paragraph tell us about digital pickles?

A．They are not accepted.

C．They are very popular.

B．They are being tested.

D．They are very delicious.

14．In which column of a magazine may we read this passage?

A．Events. B．Technology. C．Food. D．Research.

15．What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Learn to Cook Digital Pickles

C．Digital Pickled “Vegetables”

B．Pickles Ready to Sell

二、七选五

If you’re not sure which relationships to prioritize (优先考虑), here are some types of

people to keep close.

It’s essential that we can trust the people around us. Honesty is not just about someone

refraining from lying or coming forward when they screw up. It’s also about finding a way to

tell us truths that we don’t want to hear. It’s important to be around individuals who will call

us out when we are wrong or heading down a path that they know is not leading to a

destination we want.

____17____. Choose to be around those who will not feel threatened by your happiness

or success.____18____. Surround yourself with those who believe in your skills, potential

and vision as much as you do, and want to help you be the best version of yourself.

People who make space for your emotions. Many people are good at having stimulating

conversations but lack the emotional availability needed to make space for how we feel. We

all need individuals who respect our feelings understand that sometimes all we need is to be

heard.____19____. Such individuals serve as a source of support and can help us grow in our

emotional maturity.

People who model qualities you admire, understand and accept you, and show up

authentically are also valuable.

Let’s remember to apply these criteria to every type of relationship in our

I strongly call on everyone to stop feed animals improperly in natural scenic areas. My

family and he just went on a trip to the city park which there are beautiful lakes, streams and

plants. Therefore, I found that many tourists fed the ducks, fish and other animals in the park

with snacks they bring. In my an opinion, such behaviour will have a negative effect with

both the animals and the environment.

Food made for human-beings may contain too many salt and fat, which can cause

seriously health problems if animals eat too much. Also, food thrown into the lakes or left on

the ground could regarded as pollutants and it will further destroy the living condition of

animals.
