26、People now have access to more information than ever before thanks to the Internet. While there are clearly benefits to it, there are also unexpected effects. One in particular is information overload, commonly referred to as “inf-obesity”. 【1】
Inf-obesity can be caused by many factors. For example, information from various sources can lead to inf-obesity. A search on a particular topic can bring hundreds of websites with a lot of information, and you may feel very upset due to the amount of information accessible. 【2】. Smart devices provide a person with information constantly, merely to stay updated. As a result, people will load themselves with too much information.
【3】. They indicate that an over-exposure to information can cause people’s behavioural changes. It makes a person tired mentally and physically, directly leading to stress where the person is too tired to carry on any activity. In addition, inf-obesity is the enemy of good decisions. People can probably be at a loss in the face of many possibilities. 【4】.
So, what can be done to reduce the effects of this condition? While there is no easy answer, one obvious step is to limit our sources of information. Sort the information we receive as important and unimportant, and try to only focus on things that really matter to us and on just one thing at a time.
Too much of anything is bad. 【5】, but also to the information that one receives. By taking a certain action, inf-obesity can be controlled at the first stage itself.
A．This applies not only to the food one consumes
B．Experts have shown some major effects of inf-obesity
C．This would give us more room to absorb information from sources
D．Being constantly connected to technology can also result in inf-obesity
E．It involves a situation where there’s too much information on a given topic
F．We are sure about how certain types of information help us get where we want to go
G．One example is that, for online shoppers, a purchase can be difficult with so many choices accessible
27、I was new to this high school as a teacher. I settled into my seat at the front of the classroom. Of the thirty students, I counted just 20 in their seats. The students didn’t seem to want to be there. They sat in their chairs, staring out of the window.
The back door was opened heavily. After Mike came Belinda. No apologies, and no explanations. “Things will get better,” I told myself and began the first lesson. Perhaps because I was nervous, I ran through the materials more quickly than I should have. “Wait,” interrupted Mike. “I didn’t pay good money to come to a school where the teacher doesn’t explain things clearly.” In all my years of teaching, I’d never had a class like this.
The next day I got to school early as usual. This time the students showed up on time, but half the students didn’t take notes. They acted as if they were sitting there to meet the requirements. Why couldn’t I reach them?
“Try picturing them being happy and successful,” my husband advised.
The next day, I pictured each student listening, taking notes, raising their hands and learning. Then at school, my eyes moved from chair to chair. I thought about how hard they worked, studying late into the night or whenever they had a spare moment.
Things started to change. During the break, Mike even volunteered to help me make up my materials. Belinda stayed, quietly taking notes.
At our last class Mike handed me a thank-you card signed by every student. One comment stood out: “It took me a while, but I found I enjoyed your class. Nothing could take away the joy I got from my experience. Thank you. — Belinda”. My eyes were filled with tears.

28、Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creatively minded, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1 , 002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.
The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global user, without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.
“In years gone by, the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios； now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon (偶像)，" a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release(发布会).“These self-made stars record their hobbies to an admiring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.
This is why although vloggers are popular, some young people choose jobs that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform(平台)for runners to keep a record of their races. He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
【1】What's the most popular job among British young people nowadays?
A．A lawyer.
B．A doctor.
C．A vlogger.
D．A singer.
【2】Why is it possible for anyone to become an icon these days?
A．Because of the popularity of the computers.
B．Because the traditional show business has disappeared.
C．Because there are computer cameras for everyone to use.
D．Because Internet and social media made it easy to reach a global user.
【3】What's the meaning of the underlined word “interact” in Paragraph 4?
A．To discuss.
B．To force.
C．To communicate.
D．To take part in.
【4】What's the author's opinion towards the vloggers?
A．All vloggers can't be successful.
B．Vloggers should be supported.
C．Vloggers should be encouraged.
D．Vloggers are very helpful to society.
29、Chase is always on the lookout for ways he can help others. At just 13 years old, he has already contributed a great deal to the community in Port Allen, Louisiana. He has hosted dinners for senior citizens, donated hundreds of pairs of socks to the homeless, and now he is contributing directly to the kids at his school.
Chase noticed many children at Port Allen Middle School have a hard time affording new clothing, especially when events like school dances and graduations come up. So when school leaders asked students how they could improve their community, Chase suggested helping families get clothes.
The school agreed, and PAM’s Pantry was born. The concept is simple: First, people donate clothing, shoes, sports equipment, and other helpful personal items. Then, Chase helps organize the donations so headmaster Jessica and the teachers can hand them to those in need.
Jessica says this plan is helping the school meet more kids’ needs than ever before, especially since they live in a low-income area. “We really want the kids to feel like they have somewhere to go when they need something,” the headmaster said. “We only have 215 kids, so we’re able to get to know them really well and try to help them where we can.”
Amanda, Chase’s mother, said she was not the least bit surprised that her son decided to come alongside his peers. “He seems to have a great passion for people,” she said. “I always encourage him to bless others because they deserve happiness, too.”
If more people think like Chase does, the world will be a kinder place! Simply looking for ways to be the change we want to see in the world can have life-changing effects, not just on us, but also on those around us.
【1】What did Chase do for the community according to paragraph 1?
A．He hosted a charity dinner for kids.
B．He gave many pairs of socks to the poor.
C．He visited the elderly in the nursing home.

【2】What can we know about PAM’s Pantry?
A．There are many social volunteers.
B．It is a charity project based on the school.
C．People donate some money to the organization.
D．Students can get anything from the organization.
【3】What is Amanda’s attitude towards Chase’s actions?

B．Critical.
C．Worried.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What does the author convey in the last paragraph?

B．Everyone can change the world.
C．Students try their best to help others.

31、 (一) Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family 【1】 1889. His parents were both music hall 【2】 (perform). You may find 【3】 astonishing that Charlie 【4】 (teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially 【5】 the family income was often uncertain. 【6】 (luck), his father died, 【7】 (leave) the family even 【8】 (bad) off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking 【9】 his mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the 【10】 (popular) child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him – his subtle acting made everything entertaining.
(二) As I get to know more about international friends, I learn more about this 【11】 (culture) “body language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, 【12】 are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance 【13】 people.

English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to 【15】 or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places 【16】 Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others 【17】 (close) and are more likely to touch them.
