An eight-year-old boy doesnt take up the number of party guests.BToday all kinds of interesting interactions occurred. First, at the soup kitchen, one of the guests gave several of us peppermint candies! Thats the first time that ever happened! It was so sweet and I am happy to receive his gratitude.Another lady needed me to listen to her and asked me to pray for her husband. I hugged her and said of course I would. I always love hearing their stories if they want to share. So, so much love in just dissolving any barrier of “you” and “me” and seeing all of us as family.Afterwards I went to the cafe to do some grading work and grab a sandwich before heading off to the next gathering. There was an older lady who was looking for an empty table. There was one empty table in the back, but I pushed my papers aside and gestured for her to sit across from me and she did. That then led to me getting to listen to this amazing Holocaust survivors life story (she is 84 years old!). It was such a gift to share lunch with her! Sadly I had to leave after a while, but it was so lovely to have lunch with a stranger and feel connected to her. As she said “The only things that matter in life are health, family and friends.” As I was driving to a friends gathering I couldnt help but reflect on the beauty of the day in all of the interactions I had, and just marveling(感到惊讶) at lifeand then I am just AWESTRUCK by this full RAINBOW that I can see right next to melike the universe saying “yup you got it!” I smiled to myself for the rest of the ride. So many gifts in each dayI am overflowing with gratitude.24. Why did the author push his papers aside?A. To help the owner of the caf.B. To make himself fortable.C.

Which of the following is the best tittle of the passage? A. Being a listener can dissolve the barrierB. We all should give gifts to the strangersC. We all should be grateful for lifeD. Its important to be kindCFew things are more satisfying than sleeping late on weekends. But though the extra sleep may improve your mood, they do not appear to improve your health. Because a new study shows that so-called “recovery sleep” cannot reset the bodys metabolic clockinstead it may actually lead to some serious health issues.“Sleep loss can impact a range of physiological systems. It can increase our risk for cardiovascular disease(心血管疾病), it can cause weight gain, it can decrease insulin sensitivity, so it can increase our risk of diabetes(糖尿病). Christopher Depner, an assistant professor of the University of Colorado, said in a conference last Sunday. “We were really interested in how this sort of cycle of insufficient sleep, weekend recovery sleep, can impact your risk of obesity and metabolic disease.”Depner and his colleagues invited volunteers to a nine-day snooze-a-thon. One group was allowed to get a full nights sleep. The next was kept to just five hours each night. And the third group went back and forth, restricted to five hours of shut-eye during the workweek, allowed as much sleep as they wanted over the weekend, and then back to five hours for the last couple days. “Well, the key findings from this study show that when we maintain insufficient short sleep schedules during a typical work or school week, we find that this leads people to eat more than they need and this leads to weight gain.” So it seems a loss of sleep leads to a spike in snacking. But even more surprising, sleeping in on the weekend doesnt helpand even makes things worse.“We found that after the weekend, when they went back to getting insufficient sleep during the work or school week, their liver and their muscle insulin sensitivity or blood sugar regulation was reduced. And this is not something we had found in people who maintained long insufficient sleep schedules. So its possible that, yes, this is a worsening of the bodys ability to regulate blood sugar for those specific tissues after the weekend.”28. Which of the following is NOT the possible result of insufficient sleep?A. Liver disease. B. Diabetes. C. Cardiovascular disease. D. Stomachache.29. Whats the purpose of the study of the nine-day snooze-a-thon?A. To confirm the benefit of the sleep loss.B. To confirm the influence of the recovery sleep.C. To find which group is the strongest.D. To demonstrate the importance of sleep.30. What does the underlined word “spike” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Reduce.B. Spread. C. Stop.D. Increase.31. What will happen if you have recovery sleep on weekend?A. It will improve your health.B. It will help you recover the bodys metabolic clock.C. It will result in serious health issues.D. It will lead to the increased blood pressure.DLife insurance is among the oldest financial products. The Amicable Society, founded in London in 1706, charged members a set contribution and paid out annually to widows and children of those who had died in the previous 12 months. Today it is a vast industry: life and health insurers employ over 800,000 people in America alone. It protects hundreds of millions against the risk of dying early, through death benefits, or the risk of living longer than expected, for example through annuities(养老金). According to Allianz, a German insurer, total life-insurance expenses are above 5% of GDP in many rich countries, including Britain, France, Italy and Japan. In America, the worlds biggest market, annual expenses total more than $550 billion.But life insurers are struggling as never before. Those parts of the industry that have not evolved fast enough, says Clive Bannister, the head of Phoenix Group, a “closed” life insurer that buys and manages old policies but issues no new ones, have experienced a “demolition”(毁灭). He lists half a dozen British life insurers that existed 15 years ago but no longer do.The American life-insurance unit of AXA, a French insurer, is just the latest sign of worries about the industrys prospects on May 10th. Shares were priced at $20, well below the expected $24-27. Among its difficulties are low interest rates, which make it hard to fulfill promises of guaranteed returns on some products, and costly new regulations. Since 2016 Europe has required much more capital to be held against long-term debt, like those of life insurers. That has prompted some to seek to rebalance their businesses. AXA has not only listed its American life arm this year but also announced the purchase of XL, a Bermuda-based property-and-casualty insurer.More serious still are demographic(人口学的) pressures. As the rich world ages and retires, total life-insurance expenses are flat or falling. In developed countries they fell by 0.5% in 2016 in real terms, according to Swiss Re, a reinsurer. Some countries have fallen off a cliff, including Australia(an 18.2% drop in 2017 in nominal terms) and Japan(11.3%), where negative interest rates have declined returns and prompted some life insurers to stop selling lump-sum death-benefit policies. The industry has long been used to accumulating new finances, with old policies sold off to specialists (such as Phoenix). It will now have to adjust to “decumulation”, says Henrik Naujks of Bain & pany, a consultancy.32. Which country does AXA belong to?A. France.B. American.C. Japan.D. Australia.33. Which of the following would Clive Bannister most probably agree with?A. The insurance is a more serious problem than before.B. The American annual expenses are the biggest one in the world.C. There are more and more life insurers as time goes by.D. The life-insurance expenses of the developing countries also fell fast in 2016.34. Where does this text probably e from?A. Fashion news. B. Financial news. C. Sports news. D. Entertainment news.35. What would the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?A. The sensible benefit of life insurance business.B. The bright prospects of life insurance business.C. The way to solve the problems of life insurance business.D. The fast development of life insurance business.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Bloating(胀气)is often caused by eating certain foods, in particular, those high in fibre.
