26、There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on. 【1】 Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.
Dangerously wrong.
A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.
Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings. 【2】
Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. 【3】 It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits. These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off. Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Think positive!
We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.
Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. 【4】 We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.
A.It is a welcome competitor here because it fits the needs of customers in a new way.
B.Thus it has become a place where all is for the best.
C.If you’re among the people one Uber driver described as “generally negative”, watch out.
D.Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers.
E.The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet.
F.Drivers and passengers are never satisfied with each other.
27、A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症).The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr. Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
【1】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Puppy love may bring young people depression.

A.Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
B.Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C.Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D.Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
B.Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
C.Teachers should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
D.The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A.Confused.
B.Disapproving.
C.Interested.
D.Afraid.
28、Each year more than 6 million dogs and cats end up in animal shelters, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day was designed to raise awareness about organizations’ work with homeless animals. Their main mission is to find homes for pets and reunite lost ones with their human families, but they need a lot of volunteer help.
“Not everyone has to have an animal in order to care about animals,” said Debra Duel of the Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington. One way to help is to become a short-term foster (收养) family. Fostering frees up space in busy shelters. Adoptable pets get more personal attention once fostered in a loving home than in crowded shelter environments. “Fostering is great for people who can’t have a permanent pet,” Duel said. Fostering also helps people learn more about pet care before offering a forever home.
Victoria, now 12, has taken care of 49 animals since 2018. “Every animal is an individual,” Victoria said. “Each requires different work. Puppies or kittens require more time and training than older dogs and cats,” she said. “Even small animals like guinea pigs are more work than people think.”
If you really can’t foster, consider donating time, money and supplies to a shelter. Kindergartners at Browne Academy in Fairfax County did just that. They, in a partnership with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, raised several hundred dollars by drawing pictures of family pets that sold for S1 each. They also made cat toys and pillows. Their efforts helped improve the animals’ stay at the shelter, and they helped reduce adoption fees for people who can’t afford them.
Hopefully all those efforts will lead to fewer animals waiting for their forever homes.
【1】A short-term foster family can help to _________.
A.encourage more people to love pets
B.bring benefits to people without a pet
C.reduce overcrowding in animal shelters
D.advocate sheltering and caring for animals
【2】What do Victoria’s words imply?
A.Older pets are more suitable for adoption.
B.Animals should have been equally trained.
C.Small animals need less care and attention.
D.People should think twice before fostering pets.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Children’s role in charity events.
B.A great need for animal adoption.
C.Problems animal shelters are faced with.
D.Another way to help animals in shelters.
29、A Father's day is a day set aside for honoring fathers in church services and in the home. It's celebrated in the U.S. in the third Sunday of June.
