27、At 6.00 p.m. on Thursday, in Waterstones in Piccadilly, London, staff (全体雇员) were running around with bowls of jellybeans and bottles of lemon juice. Five minutes later, people of all ages started to come through the doors. Some dressed up as characters from the books! “This is the third event I’ve been to,” said 28-ycar-old Alex. “Last year they changed the second floor into Diagon Alley.” In many of the chain’s 275 branches across the UK, similar scenes were taking place. “Our first wizards (巫师) have arrived for Harry Potter night,” said staff at the Bradford store.
But Harry Potter night wasn’t the only cause for celebration for staff and customers. The previous day, Waterstones had announced that it was back in profit for the first time since 2011, under the leadership of its very own wizard. James Daunt. Daunt was already a successful bookseller. He was brought in to rescue the Waterstones chain when it was about to close down.
When Daunt took over Waterstones, his first task was to cut costs. Then he had to make the stores more attractive and improve the lighting. Coffee shops were opened inside the stores, and events were held, such as the now-famous Harry Potter nights, or talks by authors. But the biggest change was that Daunt gave each store the power to choose what books to sell, and to choose the prices for different books. This made a big difference. Sales went up because shops were storing more books that interested local customers.
Daunt is confident about the future of bookshops. “People love buying books,” he said. “It’s a physical pleasure that customers don’t get when they shop online. If we keep creating shops that do that, it doesn’t matter what goes on online. High streets and shops are part of the heart of the community. People will always want to go to shops.”
【1】Why did people come to Waterstones in Piccadilly on Thursday?
A.To buy the Harry Potter books.
B.To attend a Harry Potter night.
C.To meet the author of books.
D.To look around Diagon Alley.
【2】What was another reason for Waterstones to celebrate?
A.A wizard was visiting the store.
B.The chain started to make money.
C.The bookshops would open again.
D.James Daunt became the owner.
【3】What was the biggest change Daunt made?
A.Making stores smaller.
B.Choosing the books himself.
C.Giving stores more freedom.
D.Selling books to local customers.
【4】Why does Daunt think bookshops have a good future?
A.They provide cheaper books for people.
B.Online shopping will not last forever.
C.They can recommend suitable books.
D.They provide what online booksellers cannot.
28、The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is happier than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that these parents are much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel LaSalle. “I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. When they know what I'm doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Cromer, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call talk or discussion. For example, when I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not based on real facts. A researcher explains, “Teenagers were thought to be different from others in a part of time in our social history. But to our surprise, they say they are getting on well with their parents. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.”
【1】The study shows that teenagers don't want to ______________________.
A. share family duties
B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
【2】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ___________________.
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
【3】According to the writer, teenage rebellion ____________________.
A. may be a wrong opinion
B. is common at present
C. always happened in the 1960s
D. was caused by changes in families
【4】Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A. Discussion in family
B. Teenage education in family
C. Teenage trouble in family
D. Harmony in family
29、How to Use a Modern Public Library
Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge, meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.
Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借) books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.
Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.
Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.
Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会) and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need.

Poorest countries facing both obesity and malnutrition
A third of the poorest countries in the world are dealing with high levels of obesity as well as under-nourishment, which leaves people too thin, according to a report in The Lancet. It says the problem is caused by global 【1】 to ultra - processed foods, and people exercising less. The authors are calling for changes to the “modern food system” which they believe is the 【2】 of it.
Countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are most affected.
The report 【3】 that nearly 2.3 billion children and adults on the planet are overweight, and more than 150 million children have undersized growth. And many low and middle-income countries are facing these two 【4】 at the same time -- known as the ‘double burden of malnutrition’. This means that 20% of people are overweight, 30% of children under four are not growing 【5】, and 20% of women are classified as thin.
Failing food systems
The report authors say action should be taken by governments, the United Nations and academics to 【6】 the problem, and it points the finger at changing diets.
The way people eat, drink and move is changing. Increasing numbers of supermarkets, easy availability of less 【7】 food, as well as a decrease in 【8】 activity, are leading to more people becoming overweight.
And these changes are affecting low and middle-income countries, as well as high-income ones.
Although undersized growth of children in many countries is becoming less frequent, eating ultra-processed foods early in life is 【9】 with poor growth. “We are facing a new nutrition reality,” says lead author Dr Francesco Branca, director of the department of nutrition for health and development at the World Health Organization. “We can no longer 【10】 countries as low-income and undernourished, or high-income and only concerned with obesity.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Pamela Jones is a nurse, mom, and grandmother and she has over 25 years’ experience in the field of medicine. After she graduated from her medical school with her medical degree, she was devoted to numerous hospitals in Michigan and more. She is also a volunteer of a non-profit organization, which mainly helps some people suffering from different kinds of slight diseases and offers some medical care.
Last Tuesday, Pamela was driving on the way home after seeing a patient. She was traveling westbound on 1-276 around 8:30 pm. Then suddenly, she was hit by a car that switched lanes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Her car tuned, flipped over and crashed into an embankment. Her car was badly damaged. The causing-traffic-trouble car was damaged too, but it fled away. Thankfully, she survived. However, she could not remember much about what happened.
Saving lives is a daily thing for Nurse Pamela Jones. But, at this time, it was she who needed to be saved. Unfortunately, dozens of cars moved past her but no one took the time to stop and help her. “There must have been 150 cars that drove by,” Pamela recalled. She couldn’t move and her phone was out of reach, so she had to wait for help in her car.
Mike Lottier and his son Drew were driving on the way home, too. They had just returned from the city where Drew’s grandparents lived. It was Drew who first found her car. He noticed that glass debris was everywhere, the sunroof was destroyed, and the car was crashed out of shape. Seeing these, Drew shouted, “Dad, there is a car accident ahead.” Mike drove slowly toward the damaged car. Soon they arrived at the scene.
