26、When it comes to the health problem, how can you, the workaholic (工作狂), refocus and get the best out of life? A few suggestions are listed as follows.

SLEEP FOR MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS! Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later.” Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.

SET STRICT FAMILY TIME! Resolve(决意) to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? “I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family.”

GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers (薄脆饼) on your drawer to ease the hunger pain.

CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it.

WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it’s even more important that you get some exercise.

MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more.

A．those who are hardworking

B．those who keep themselves healthy and alive

D．Make up for lost sleep whenever possible.

【3】By making a plan, the author means ________.

A．organizing your time and finishing urgent things first

B．finishing a number of things at once

C．working on only one or two things each day

D．accomplishing as much work as possible at any given moment

【4】The underlined word “confine” in paragraph 5 possibly means ________.

27、Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it.

28、   Located in a comer of north Brooklyn is a 3,000-square-fbot patch of open space. Keap Fourth, at the intersection of Keap and South 4th Streets, is a community garden established in 2013. It’s a well-known part in this largely Dominican and Puerto Rican neighbourhood, at the edge of trendy Williamsburg. The sun is out, and “it’s nearly planting season,” says Crito Thornton, a volunteer who manages the garden, with a grin. After a long winter made worse by Covid-19 there are finally signs of life in the daffodils blooming around the garden.

Keap Fourth is one of 550 community gardens which have sprung up at New York’s street comers since the 1970s, when the city’s economy collapsed and its landscape became dotted by abandoned lots. Activists sought to transform these urban scars into gardens where residents could relax and grow vegetables. These places now cover 100 acres across the city, tended by a volunteer army of nearly 23,000 green-fingered New Yorkers. The gardens are supported by GreenThumb, a government initiative established in 1978, which is now the country’s largest urban-gardening programme.

Running these spaces is no easy task. Keap Fourth’s neighbourhood has been troubled by drug dealers, who moved across the Williamsburg Bridge after being driven out of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The garden is a popular drop-off point, with suspicious packages found among the greens. But the recent death of a local kingpin (毒枭) in a car accident and the efforts of the police may make the gardens more peaceful, says Mr. Thornton.

The future looks bright. A key issue in the past has been a manpower shortage for the harvest. But volunteer numbers across the city’s gardens have gone up slowly since the pandemic’s onset, as locked-down residents have desired for more open space. And in Keap Fourth’s case, the whole neighbourhood seems to have come together over the past year as few people now undergo the daily commute (通勤) across the river to Manhattan. A bountiful harvest is in prospect.

【1】What can we infer about Keap Fourth?

A．It’s mostly owned by volunteers.

B．It can help save people’s lives.

C．It was most depressing last winter.

D．It brings its liveliness to people there.

【2】Why have community gardens become popular since 1970s?

A．They have occupied New York,s street comers.

B．They have been regarded as urban scars.

C．They can be a way to take advantage of land.

D．They have covered 100 acres across the city.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude to the gardens’ future?

A．Positive.

B．Negative.

C．Objective.

D．Indifferent.

【4】What may contribute to the potential harvest this year?

A．The pandemic loss last year.

B．More open space.

C．Togetherness of the neighbourhood.

D．Daily commute across the river.

29、Top-rated Tourist Attractions in Belgium

Belgium may be small but it’s full of sights. This small nation has been right at the forefront of Europe’s history.

La Grand Place, Brussels

La Grand Place is surrounded by finely preserved grand buildings. The square is busy with tourists and locals at all times of year, but especially in August, when the center is filled with a beautiful flower carpet. You’ll get the best full view of the beautiful designs from the balcony of the town hall.

The Battlefields of Flanders

For many visitors, Belgium’s role in the Battlefields of Flanders is the main reason for a journey here. This area is also scattered with vast cemeteries for thousands of soldiers who died here. The Tyne Cot Cemetery (British) and Langemark’s German War Cemetery are both reminders of the fighting that took place here during the Great War.

Meuse Valley

The Meuse Valley, south of Brussels, is one of the best places to get a feel for Belgium’s rural center. The Meuse River offers Belgium’s most scenic river trip opportunities. Head to either the towns of Namur or Dinant to plan your river trip. Both of these small centers act as gateways to this region. The Meuse Valley is also ho me to a host of hiking and cycling trails for travelers who want to add some activities into their holidays.

Ghent’s Canals

For easy sightseeing while in Ghent, simply take to the water. Several companies offer sightseeing trips upon Ghent’s waterways. Most canal cruise options are either 40 minutes or one hour. Departures are regular from around March through November, with fewer departures during winter. A couple of companies offer boat rental, so you can explore the canals at your own speed.

【1】Which is the best place to get a full view of La Grand Place?

A．The biggest square.

B．The center of the town.

C．Any of the grand buildings.

D．The balcony of the town hall.

【2】What can people do in the Battlefields of Flanders?

A．Appreciate a big flower carpet.

B．Enjoy Belgium’s best scenic river trip.

C．Show respect to some soldiers of the Great War.

D．Tourists can head to the town of Namur through it.

30、It’s not difficult to set targets for staff. It is much harder, however, to understand their negative consequences. Most work-related behaviours have multiple components. _________ one and the others become distorted.

Travel on a London bus and you’ll _________ see how this works with drivers. Watch people get on and show their tickets. Are they carefully inspected? Never. Do people get on without paying? Of course! Are there inspectors to _________ that people have paid? Possibly, but very few. And people who run for the bus? They are _________. Safety and security for the old, the sick, the disabled? No time for that. And how about jumping lights? Buses do so almost as frequently as cyclists.

Why? Because the target is _________. People complained that buses were late and infrequent. _________, the number of buses and bus lanes were increased, and drivers were _________ or punished according to the time they took. And drivers hit their targets. But they also hit cyclists. People are hurt on buses and by buses.

If the target was changed to _________, you would have more inspectors and more sensitive pricing. If the criterion changed to safety, you would get more _________ drivers who obeyed traffic laws. But both these criteria would be at the expense of time.

There is another problem: people become immensely __________ in hitting targets. Have you noticed that you can leave on a flight an hour late but still arrive on time? Tailwinds? Of course not! Airlines have simply changed the time a trip is __________ to take. A one-hour flight is now __________ as a two-hour flight. It’s the same with rail journeys. They now take twice as long as they did 20 or even 40 years ago.

The __________ of the story is simple. Most jobs are multidimensional, with multiple criteria. Choose one criterion or even two and you may well __________ others. Everything (well almost everything) can be done faster and made cheaper, but there is a cost. Setting targets can and does have unforeseen negative consequences.

This is not an argument against target-setting or, as it is sometimes called, “management by objectives” with the use of “key performance indicators” (KPI). But it is an argument for exploring consequences first. All good targets should have multiple criteria relating to critical factors such as time, money, quality and customer feedback. The trick is not to __________ just one or even two dimensions of the objective, but also to understand how to help people better achieve the objective.

31、I had heard of the killers that helped whalers catch huge whales. When I worked at a whaling station，I 【1】 it many times. One afternoon，I heard a loud noise coming from the bay.
