And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family. Well, Terrys mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. Its your Christmas gift from me.” Terrys eyes were filed with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terrys moms kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didnt take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric. “I was going to make my first quilt,” she explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”On Christmas Day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box.

In the U. S., weve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm. This traditionif thats what you want to call it-dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already monplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macys to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to bee somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks. So, next time you travel overseas, dont feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water. 28. Who has written the text?A. A European. B. An American. C. A Canadian.

DWhen it es to mental illness, many people often find it tough to get the help they need. This is especially true for young students making the transition(过渡) to college life. “Sometimes, students dont realize how hard it is to adjust to college,” said Laura Smith, associate dean of students at the University of Texas at Dallas. “Youre not the big fish in your classes anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; youre away from home. Dealing with these things is not easy.”Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to reach out. But if students dont feel fortable seeking help, many feel that its the responsibility of their university to help them.“I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling(咨询) centers help students,” said nie Trinh. “Counseling services are just as important as academics and sports.”Trinh, 27, graduated from Texas Womans University in xx. During college, she hosted various workshops on how to handle mental health conditions. Trinh used her own story to connect with students who might be facing similar problems. High academic pressures, cultural differences as an Asian American and stressful social situations stood out as some of the most mon causes of Trinhs anxiety. It was only after years of personal problems that she could admit that reaching out isnt a sign of weakness. ”If you feel you cant connect with other people around you, you should address the issue without shame,” Trinh said. “Youll find that there are a lot of people out there who sincerely want to help you.”32.

Wounds suffered during the day heal around 60 percent faster than those at night. The study showed how the bodys circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) controlled the healing of wounds. 36 It ells our bodies when to wake up, eat and sleep in a cyclea series of activities that repeat themselves day after day. 37In the study, researchers found that skin cells moved faster to repair wounds suffered during the day. Their findings were published in the journal Science Transnational Medicine. The researchers examined cells, mice, and burn injury databases. 38 Night-time burnsburns suffered between 8 oclock at night and 8 o clock the next morningwere 95percent healed after an average of 28 days. But after an average of 17 days, daytime burns-burns suffered between 8 oclock in the morning and 8 oclock at nightwere 95 percent healed. 39Wounds are very costly to treat. 40 In Britains National Health Services, for example, such services cost around $6.56 billion per year. Experts say the high costs result, in part, from a lack of drugs that speed up the closure of wounds. A. Each cycle lasts about 24 hours. B. The circadian rhythm is like a clock or timer. C. Specifically their investigation found the following information:D. The new studys findings could help scientists develop better drugs.E. In other words, nigh-time injuries took an average of 11days longer to healF. Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on wound-treatment services.G.

How a word 61(pronounce) and how it is actually spelt can be very different things. Take two simple 62 (verb) like“have”and “save”, shouldnt they be pronounced the same? Why do “sir”, “her” and “fur” all rhyme, but “fork”and “work” dont?Imagine, then, a situation 63two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have 64(plete) different meanings. Wele to the world of homonyms(同形同音异义词). 65( take), for example, the word “fair”- it can be a kind of festival or an adjective to describe the colour of your hair. So how do you know which 66(mean) someone is referring to? You don t, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to “give them a hand”, they dont want you to remove 67 is at the end of your arm. Sometimes even the context doesnt help much- the result can be 68( amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun :I used to be a banker, 69 I lost interest. A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. w hen his grandmother phoned 70 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, “No change yet.”“Waiter, will the bread be long?” “No, sir.
