So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common (共同的) interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.

28、It was in my first year of work as a doctor. My mouth was dry, my palms sweaty and my voice trembling. The only thing that kept me focused was the thought that things were so much worse for the family I was talking to.

A woman in her early twenties had been brought in after a road traffic accident. She had suffered multiple injuries and had been rushed up to theatre. The surgeons had been unable to save her life and she died on the table. The consultant(会诊医生)told the woman’s family the news. “Tom, I think it would be nice if it came from you,” my consultant said.

I stared blankly. “What?” I asked

“About organ donation,” he replied. I swallowed hard. Surely this would be the last thing they’d want to talk about. It felt very awkward and ill-timed to be considering this kind of conversation while they were being stuck in sadness. But the problem with organ donation is that every minute is important. The clock is ticking because the sooner organs can be transplanted,   the better the chance they will survive in the recipient’s(接受者)body.

I began to feel sick. I opened the door and sat opposite them, convinced that I was only going to make things worse for them

“It’s what she’d have wanted,” the mother said before I’d even finished. The father nodded. “She was always so generous,” her father added. As my consultant and I left them, it occurred to me that I’d been wrong in thinking it would be an awkward conversation. Nothing could take away the pain of having lost their daughter. Yet this last, final act had comforted them and helped them feel that the spirit of their daughter lived on in this act of generosity. Strangely, it is one of the most heart-warming conversations I have ever had.

【1】The first two paragraphs suggest ________ .

A．the woman died on the scene

B．it was hard for the author to face death

C．the author saw the traffic accident in person

D．the woman’s death was told by the consultant

【2】Why did the author feel sick?

A．He failed to transplant the organ.

B．He was seriously ill at that time

C．The woman’s chance of survival was slim.

D．He was at a loss what to say.

【3】Why did the couple agree to donate their daughter’s organs?

A．To do the author a favor.

B．To show respect for the doctor

C．To follow their daughter’s will.

D．To end the awkward conversation

【4】What made the awkward conversation heart-warming?

A．The recipient’s gratitude.

B．The author’s consideration.

C．The consultant’s assistance.

D．The donor’s kindness.

29、Every morning, I eat the same breakfast. Every evening, I eat a different dinner. Strange? But I’m not alone. Why do we avoid variety in the morning, yet later in the same day, seek variety in our choice of food?

Part of the answer is biological. We are most energetic in the morning, and our arousal level (唤醒水平) declines from that top until we go to sleep. So we may prefer less stimulating foods in the morning to avoid feeling overstimulated, and prefer more stimulating foods later to avoid feeling under-stimulated.

Part of the answer is cultural. The modern workday means we have the least time for meals in the morning. If we find a breakfast rewarding and efficient, eating that same food for breakfast will become a habit we stick to.

However, much of the answer still lies in psychology - not that we believe breakfast is not important but that people pursue different goals when eating breakfast and other meals.

What goals are we pursuing in our meals? Two goals influence all kinds of decisions about what we eat — hedonic (享乐的) and practical goals. Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and feelings, and practical goals drive people to eat to efficiently achieve other aims such as weight control, health, convenience or efficiency.

We find that as the day progresses, more and more people change from pursuing practical goals for breakfast to gaining the pleasure. In over 3000+ products’ name descriptions from Amazon, we find that there are more pleasure-related words ( e.g., tasty, delicious ) for breakfast compared to practical words ( e.g., nutritious, healthy ).

Whether the goals come from our culture or biology, they appear to be the psychological driver of our tendency to eat the same breakfast day after day. In that case we can have control over the goals to improve our diet. Why not have a try?

【1】Which example shows breakfast is eaten for the hedonic goal?

A．I order a tiramisu because I love its creamy flavor.

B．I order an egg because it’s a good source of protein.

C．I order dumplings because they make me energized.

D．I order bread and milk because it saves me much time.

【2】What is the biological reason for lack of variety in breakfast?

A．To increase arousal level.

B．To be more energetic.

C．To improve efficiency.

D．To avoid overstimulation.

【3】What’s the structure of the text?

( ①=Para.1   ②=Para.2   ③=Para.3   ④=Para.4   ⑤=Para.5   ⑥=Par.6   ⑦=Para.7 )

A．①-②③-④⑤/⑥⑦

B．①-②③/④⑤-⑥⑦

C．①-②③/④⑤⑥-⑦

D．①-②③/④-⑤⑥/⑦

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Breakfast Matters A Lot

B．What Breakfast Tells Us

C．Goals Of The Same Breakfast

D．Behind Repeated Breakfast
