2. You are supposed to be our future, a new chapter in the story of our lives, but I can't help being angry with you. Only a few weeks old, you're demanding and unreasoning and I'm struggling to see the good that you bring.

To start with, we got on with it, settling into a routine as we were trapped in nappies and nights when you wouldn't settle, but it started to wear me down. You hear about mothers with postnatal depression, but no one talks about the challenges a father has to face: working to put food on the table and a roof over our heads is tough when you've had only a couple of hours to sleep, and we're not supposed to need a break. Men are supposed to never cry. I hope that I can teach you a better way, my son. You're allowed to have weakness, and not keep everything locked up until it bursts. It came to a head one night, when your mother found me in tears beside your bed. I'd never want to hurt you, but I was terrified by the thoughts I had. I'm doing the best I can for you, and I've gone and got the help I need. Your mother has been so strong, using your grandmother, uncles and friends to help keep our family together while I work through these feelings. The worst part for me is feeling that I'm failing your mother, and that I'm putting all of your needs on her. at a time when she needs help.

There's hope for the future, but it's a slow process. One day I hope you get to read this, and look at me with questioning eyes, because you can't see the man I am right now in the man I'll be in the future.

3. One night in March, five years ago, during happy hour at a bar in my hometown, I made a surprise announcement to my friends: I was going to shut down my law practice and attempt to travel around the globe in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind. My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends. Some offered support and encouragement, while others were more doubtful.

Once I’d said the words, there was no turning back. It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order. Once I set off on my adventure in October 2016, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher. Even so, travelling overland was the most awe-inspiring way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.

I took three consecutive overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled plains, as if humans had never touched it.

It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent gazing out the windows for hours as the West Siberian Plain swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for 10 hours. Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world adventure.

It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of

accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me flexible and open about all my travel plans, which is advice I give everyone who asks—plan far less than you think you should. 1. The author’s trip was special in that . A．he made it at the expense of giving up his job

B．it hardly cost him anything

C．he did not make advance booking or travel D．it was a global trip by air

2. The author most probably returned to the United States in . A．June 2017 C．October 2017

B．December 2018 D．February 2018

3. What’s the correct order of the places that the author travelled to? ①Moscow ②Philadelphia ③New Zealand ④Ushuaia ⑤Beijing ⑥Buenos

A．⑤④①⑥③② C．④⑤①⑥③②

B．④⑥①⑤③② D．⑤①⑥④③②

4. What does the author think of his around-the-world tour?

A．challenging but pleasing C．boring and disappointing

4. Hardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf. Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys; SUVs are presented in natural habitats; oil companies use sunny, friendly logos and promise cleaner technologies- although, in fact, they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources. Statistics are made up, and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns, while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues.

This is known as greenwashing, which means “making things that are not green look green”. The phenomenon has long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970, when companies spent $300 million advertising themselves as green companies—many times more than the money they actually spent on research into pollution reduction itself. And the trend continued over the following decades when some of the planet’s worst polluters tried to pass themselves off as eco-friendly. As the public’s

environmental awareness grew, so too did the experience of corporate public relations strategies, and advertisers found ever- more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives.

Of course, some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But when a company spends more time and money claiming to be “green” than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact, it is clear that, for them, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan(口号). Their message is “buy our products and you will end global warming, improve air quality and save the oceans”. At best, such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits; at worst, it helps conceal deception. And what about today s consumers? Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed

decisions about what is true. Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why else would companies do it? More information and greater awareness are essential. Analysing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum. Non- governmental organisations can spread the word. Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies. But it is not enough. Legally enforceable systems must be put in place.

So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers’ eyes? In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims. France has published Green Claims Guidance, stressing that “an advertisement must avoid

conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development”. All of these surely are the heart of the matter: the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles. And therein lies the real danger to our planet, a danger which cannot be ignored any longer.

1. What can we learn about greenwashing?

A． It is an ecological concept. B． It is a marketing technique. C． It is an awareness campaign.

B．dangerous but wonderful D．costly and painful

D． It is an advertising innovation.

2. What does the underlined phrase “conceal deception” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A． Hide the truth. C． Expose the weakness.

3. What can be inferred about most consumers?

A． They are lacking in legal knowledge. B． They have encouraged greenwashing. C． They may question consumer groups. D． They tend to make sensible decisions. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A． Actions to fight false advertising. B． Ways to protect customers’ interest. C． Attempts to solve environmental problems. D． Proposals to ensure sustainable development.

5. You want to start doing exercise? Congratulations! You have just taken your first step towards a new and improved you. But how to make it? Here are some helpful tips for you.

Understand the benefits of exercise. 1 But what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency (效率) of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. Besides, exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over bad feelings.

2 When you are planning, the first thing to consider is what you expect to improve: heart and lung efficiency, muscle strength or flexibility, which involves aerobic (有氧的) activities, strength training, and flexibility training. Choose activities you enjoy. 3 Eat and drink right. To help your muscles recover and repair themselves after exercise, you need to eat foods rich in protein (蛋白质). When to eat is also of great importance. Generally speaking, you should have your meal an average of 1.5 to 2.5 hours before exercising. Do not eat immediately after exercise. 4 Remember to drink throughout exercise to make up for water lost to sweat. Avoid injury. To prevent soft tissue (组织) injury, make sure that you wear proper clothes and equipment when exercising. You should also start small and slowly work your way to longer and harder exercise to avoid getting hurt. 5 So, now you know the benefits of exercise and how to do it safely and effectively. What are you waiting for?

B． Raise the risk. D． Break the limit.

A．Make a plan for your exercise. B．Exercise for your physical health. C．Instead, wait at least 30 minutes afterwards. D．Finally, remember to warm up before exercising. E．In this way, you’re more likely to stick with them. F．Therefore, don’t have too much water before exercise. G．Most people think that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind.

Although he was a little unhappy as he did not receive a bicycle, he thanked his father. Mike’s father was depressed as he did not have enough money to buy Mike a bicycle. He promised to his son that he would buy him a bicycle soon.

After a week, when Mike was walking on his way to his home back from school, he saw a boy riding a bicycle. Mike felt that the bicycle was too small for the big boy.
