The top half of the portrait shows her ha

18、ir parted in the middle with her big brown eyes looking through her glasses. The bottom half of the self-portrait is a bright blue facemask with colourful flowers. It is a clever art project with the facemask as a cover. The mask is removable(可去掉的), but we received her picture with the mask on. Her

19、eyes looked a bit confused. Who hasnt looked confused in recent months? Luckily, I think I know what the problem is. The child needs to work on her smize. Fashion model Tyra Banks created the term “smize” several years ago. A smize is a combination of smile and eyes, meaning to smile with your eyes.

20、 Models can make their eyes smile without moving their mouths. Smizing is big right now. Its hard to show friendliness when the smiling half of your face is covered. Restaurants are even teaching wait staff to perfect the smize behind facemasks. You can smize by scrunching(使收缩)up your eyes and using

21、 your cheeks to push your eyes up to create a smiling effect. Its hard to do, but you can learn how to do it by practicing in front of a mirror. Like most people, I can wear my mask and smile at the same time, but my eyes cant smile without my mouth. They have an unbreakable bond. Too bad we often c

22、ant see one another smiling these days because smiling is like yawning-highly contagious(传染的). Smiling and kindly acknowledging on another as fellow human beings wouldnt be the worst thing to sweep the nation. Go ahead, smize or smile, whatever you can do. Spread it around.30Why did the author menti

25、t easier for her to smize.CIt is important for us to spread smize or smiles.DSmizing will become increasingly popular across the nation.Pacheco is a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School in California, US. When she was a little girl, her parents let her choose an American Girl doll. She picked on

26、e with a hair color and style that matched her own. “She looked like me, and I felt there was a piece of me in her,” said Pacheco. “You see yourself in a doll, and its really special to have that connection.”But what about children with medical condition who dont like anyone else? Pacheco wanted to

27、give these children the same gift she got as a child. Over the past several months, she has made dolls for kids who have unique facial appearances. “Each of these kids is so special. I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really appreciate their beauty.”Pacheco got the

28、 idea for the doll project after remembering a magazine story about “A Doll Like Me”. This is a project that makes custom dolls for children with disabilities. Pacheco reached out to Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, an organization that provides free operations and other medical treatment for children. S

29、he asked if she could create similar dolls for some of its clients (顾客). For this project, Pacheco watched doll-making course, then designed her own patterns and figured out how to make dolls that looked like her clients. It was important to her that the children could see themselves in the dolls, b

30、ut that their differences would not be the most noticeable feature (特征). Zulema Gillett got one of Pachecos dolls. She said she loved the idea. “Who doesnt want a doll that looks like them and that they could relate to (产生联系)?” Gillett said. Michelle Pius, chief development officer for Fresh Start S

31、urgical Gifts, was impressed by Pachecos dolls. “It is a very kind and warm-hearted gesture to make dolls that will help a child feel like theyre not alone,” Pius said.34What is special about dolls made by Pacheco?AThey have similar hair color to hers.BThey are dolls just for girls.CThey look like h

32、er clients.DThey are all connected to each other.35Why did Pacheco make dolls for special children?ATo offer their parents more gift choices.BTo get them interested in her school project.CTo make advertisements for American Girl dolls.DTo encourage them to appreciate their own beauty.36From the pass

33、age, we know Pacheco _.Ais a girl with a disabilityBdreams to run her own businessCwas inspired by the “A Doll Like Me” projectDraised money to provide free treatment for special children37How did Zulema Gillett probably feel after getting the doll?AAngry.BHappy.CEmbarrassed.DUpset.38What do we know

34、 from the last paragraph?APius spoke highly of Pachecos work.BPius wanted Pacheco to join Fresh Start Surgical Gifts.CPius advised Pacheco to be more confident.DPius helped Pacheco deal with her loneliness.Im a procrastinator (有拖延症的人). In university, I should spend a year on my 90-page senior thesis

35、 (论文). I didnt write a word until three days before the deadline. Finally, I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters to finish just before the deadline. Of course, it was a very bad thesis. I think that the brain of procrastinators and non-procrastinators are actually diff

36、erent. Both brains have a Rational (理性的) Decision-Maker in them who makes us take action right now. But the procrastinators brain also has an Instant Gratification (及时行乐) Monkey who doesnt like that plan and only cares about two things: easy and fun. For the procrastinators, it is the Monkey that ac

37、tually takes the wheel. But how can they start working when really important things happen? It turns out the procrastinator also has a Panic (恐慌的) Monster. He is not active most of the time, but he suddenly wakes up anytime a deadline gets too close. Hes the only thing the Instant Gratification Monk

38、ey is afraid of. Seeing the Panic Monster, the Instant Gratification Monkey goes up a tree and hides! The Rational Decision-Maker can then take the wheel and the procrastinator can start working. This explains how the procrastinators system works. But if it works, why bother? Well, its because there

39、 are situations in our lives that dont have deadlines, like seeing your family or exercising. In all of these non-deadline situations, the Panic Monster doesnt show up. So the procrastinators system actually doesnt start work. So what should we do? Maybe we can make something called a Life Calendar.

40、 We need to take a long, hard look at that calendar and think about what were really procrastinating on.39Why does the writer mention his university experience in the first paragraph?ATo show that we all have limitless talent.BTo give an example of procrastination.CTo explain that procrastination is

41、 quite common.DTo prove that procrastinators are able to finish their tasks.40Whats the meaning of the underlined phrase “take the wheel” in Paragraph 3?ADrive a car.BBe hot active.CMake a decision.DHide quietly.41In the writers opinion, which of the following goes with the procrastinators system?AT

42、he Rational Decision-Maker doesnt work.BThe Instant Gratification Monkey hides for a long time.CThe Panic Monster never appears before the deadline.DThe Instant Gratification Monkey is on the right side.42The procrastinators system sometimes doesnt start work because _.Athere is no Panic Monster in

43、realityBnot everything in life has a deadlineCthe Panic Monster is too lazy to workDsituations in real life are hard to control43What is the writers suggestion for procrastination?ABuy a calendar and use it often.BLive a long enough life to put things off.CThink about what we need.DMake a plan and w

44、ork out whats really important.四、阅读回答问题阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car. After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and

45、fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five yellow jackets(小黄蜂)building a nest around their gas gap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies fear. Yellow jackets have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps(黄蜂)have attacked me while I was cutting the grass, stinging(蛰

46、)me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease(减轻)the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better. Still, I knew I couldnt let fear stop me now. I reached into my
