A
"Joe? Is that you?" The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?" I asked.
"It is you !" she cried out, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good to see you again !"
It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.
We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “ I’ve always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK,” I said, “No big deal!” “But I was such a jerk.” she continued. Yes, you were, I thought. “We were both pretty young,” I smiled. “I know.” she said, “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”
The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes ---- it looked a lot like relief. “OK,” I said, "Apology accepted!” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it .
It isn't enough to just say “I’m sorry” and "You' re forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul ---- even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.
21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?
A. Happy. B. Busy. C. Hard. D. Simple.
22. What does the underlined word “jerk” in the third paragraph mean?
A. A humorous person. B. A cruel person.
C. A careless person. D. An honest person.
23. Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?
A. Because her favorite team won the game.
B. Because she learned Joe was living a good life.
C. Because she made an apology to the author.
D. Because she found she was not mean any longer.
24. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Excitement of A Baseball Game B. Mental Burden of A Woman
C. Miracles of Forgiveness D. Relief of Finding A friend

New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan(寿命）.
Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers, such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(复合物), which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a wealth of health benefits.
A study of more than 16,000 people in theUnited Statesrevealed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.
For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.
While the researchers are unable to identify the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifespan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症).
Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption.” However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the now research makes these findings more credible.
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The study only goes for American people.
B. Red chili pepper can reduce all-cause disease.
C. The compound protects people against obesity.
D. Onion consuming can reduce death risk.
30.What is the finding of the new research mainly about?
A. Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.
B. Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.
C. Hot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.
D. Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.
31. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “credible”?
A. Convincing. B. Practical. C. Encouraging. D. Attractive.
D
When you’re working your way through one of life’s storms, it is human nature to focus on getting back to normal, to “bounce back” as quickly as possible to a place where things are calm, familiar and comfortable.
However, actually it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before the storm because every experience changes us in some way. For example, when we experience a major health scare, possibly involving some hospital time, we can never go back to being the person we were before the event even if we fully recover because we have experienced first-hand the fragility(脆弱) of life, not to mention coming face to face with death.
So, now that we can never return, what should we do?
Consider this … how is it that two people can be faced with the same hardship and while one becomes hopeless and feels anger and upset, the other is able to overcome their circumstances and grow stronger than ever as a result of the experience?
At one extreme, we may choose to accept the role of unlucky victim, or become trapped in the “Why is it always me!” negative and frustrating situations. Either way is the result of a fixed mindset(思维模式)that is resistant to growth and change. If this is your approach to life, you will be far less likely to be active in effectively managing change and recovering from bad situations.
But there is another choice. If you are honest enough, you may consider what was once “normal” for you was just the main cause of your storm. You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences. Of course, this means doing the work to develop the skills and habits that will enable you to handle life’s occasional storms.
In conclusion, it is up to each of us to choose the meaning we apply to our situations at all times. Different choices will lead to different lives. Of course you can grow forward if you are determined to choose live a positive life regardless of whatever hardships you are facing.
32. What does the author try to convey with the example in the second paragraph?
A. We will understand life much better after an escape from death.
B. It usually takes a long time to recover from a health problem.
C. It’s unlikely to return to where we were after certain events.
D. We can recover from an emotional problem much more easily.
33. When faced with hardships, some people choose to be a victim because of .
A. their terrible experiences. B. their negative thoughts.
C. their poor health. D. their bad luck.
34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To advise us to manage bad emotions. B. To persuade us to get back to normal.
C. To offer us useful skills to work with. D. To encourage us to overcome hardships.
35. If you’re determined to grow forward you have to .
A. experience life’s fragility B. welcome uncertainty and change
C. develop new skills and habits D. overcome the fear of death

How to run international meetings
As more of us do business across cultures, it’s best to prepare ahead of time before heading to the meeting table. Here are four rules for different countries.
Stick to the schedule
Where：Germany, Australia, Japan
We’ve all been to meetings that have a loose agenda(议事日程), if any at all. They don’t start on time and they seem to repeat. 36 Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting. 37 . Meetings that run long inGermanyare often taken to mean that the parties are not communicating efficiently.
38 .
Where：China, Malaysia, Singapore[来源:学*科*网]
Debating a topic can go against the traditional Chinese concept of “saving face”, which means avoiding any mistakes or actions that could bring embarrassment. Laughing at even an obviously amusing answer or pointing out a potential mistake can spoil the entire meeting.
Enjoy the interruptions
Where：Italy, France, Spain
When Pascal Sobol meets with clients inItalyorSpain, he's no longer offended if they leave early or arrive late. Rather than attend the entire three-hour meeting, he has learned that his colleagues there ---- and in some parts ofFrance---- attend based on their own timetable.
39 . Rather than expecting people to sit through his entire presentation, he makes it easier for them to turn up as needed.
Please, no small talk.
Where：Finland, Sweden
In places likeFinlandandSweden, where non-meeting related discussions like chat about the weather can be regarded as a way to be off a formally-set agenda and as a waste of other people's time.
In some countries, includingFinland, there are long pauses in the conversation. 40 . These breaks are used as a way to process what the other person is saying without interrupting.
A. Not so in these countries.
B. Germans and Australians are similar.
C. Don't even think about a brainstorm.
D. There’s often no way to tell how things are going.
E. Don’t try to fill them, though, with small talk or anything else.
F. What do the long silences, idle chitchat and serious faces really mean in context?
G. For Sobol, that means changing his own German-based expectations of client behavior.

Sending gifts varies greatly from country to country. InAustralia,Canada, the United States 61 European countries, sending gifts is rarely expected. While seen as a nice gesture, it is more important to avoid 62 ( give) highly personal gifts such as clothing. When visiting the home of a colleague from one of these 63 (country ), it is normally appropriate to bring a gift to the hostess.
InAmerica, 64 ( expense) gifts are definitely out. A good 65 ( choose) is to take the deserving person to dinner, or to 66 entertainment or a sporting event. 67 the contrary, gift giving is a traditional custom inJapan. InJapanthe proper gift is thought 68 (express) the giver’s true friendship, gratitude and respect far 69 (well) than words can. So if you plan to visitJapanor to have any Japanese visit you here, be prepared.
Australiais known for its friendliness and informality. So modest gifts, such as a diary, a paperweight, or a coffee cup might 70 (present) to a friend. At a trade show, T-shirts, ties, baseball caps, or a pin may be appropriate souvenirs. Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment.

How time flies! I had hardly had time to enjoy the warmth of my home while it's time go back to school. This winter I spend ten days studying maths, chemistry and physics, none of which was easily for me.
And I still had some fun during the Spring Festival. I had attended my uncle's wedding and my new aunt was very beautiful. To my disappoint, I didn't get many lucky money as I had expected. I also went to the cinema with several classmates. We played jokes on each other and had a big meal in a restaurant calling “Red Lobster”. The food there was very delicious and we all really enjoyed myself.
