When I was a little girl, a couple in our community went through a tragedy. They lost a young child and were in deep despair. Shortly afterward, my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket. He turned to my mother and said, “Your husband saved our life. He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss.”
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation numerous times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home. After sitting down for a few minutes, my mother gently said, “You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness. What did he say ”
The man paused. He then gave the secret of my father’s consolation (慰藉).
“Rebbetzin, your husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like. Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering.”
My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.
“No, your husband did not speak. I didn’t need him to give me words. I needed his heart and soul.”
When I recall this story, I realize the truth.
When having someone in our lives who is going through difficulty, we are often at a loss. What do we say How do we make it all better What is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones
We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself, give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just show that you are there for them. Perhaps you can’t fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the silence comes sympathy, understanding and empathy (共鸣). And you share the load.
4. What does the underlined word “solace” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiration. B. Comfort. C. Appreciation. D. Guidance.
5. How did the author’s father help lighten the man’s sorrow
A. By encouraging him to get out and meet friends.
B. By keeping him company calmly.
C. By hugging him to share extreme sadness.
D. By chatting with him whenever he was in need.
6. How might the author’s mother feel after hearing the man’s words
A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Satisfied.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A Time is the recipe to cure a broken heart.
B. The secret of establishing a lifelong relationship.
C. Listening to your heart is of great importance.
D. Your presence speaks louder than any word.

According to a well-known team of researchers, there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they were to focus only on the face, they would probably know whether a smile was genuine or not.
This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.
Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.
Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.
8. What did the experiments show
A. Most people tend to force a smile when taking pictures.
B. People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes.
C. People using body language are often smiling genuinely.
D. Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions.
C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How spontaneous smiling happens.
10. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text
A. To show the problems brought by smiling.
B. To show some cultural differences of smiling.
C. To explain how people hide their true feelings.
D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Smiling has little to do with character. B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings.
C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with. D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships.
D
The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still eatable before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12. What changes does Broad Leib see
A. People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
B. Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
C. Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
D. Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
13. What does the underlined word “bewilderment” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Sadness. B. Convenience. C. Confusion. D. Emotion.
14. How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A. By increasing storehouses.
B. By fighting hunger with rewards.
C. By reducing food produced within the country.
D By using double date labeling on packaged food.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
B. Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
C. Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D. Broad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.

When I was a little girl, a couple in our community went through a tragedy. They lost a young child and were in deep despair. Shortly afterward, my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket. He turned to my mother and said, “Your husband saved our life. He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss.”
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation numerous times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home. After sitting down for a few minutes, my mother gently said, “You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness. What did he say ”
The man paused. He then gave the secret of my father’s consolation (慰藉).
“Rebbetzin, your husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like. Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering.”
My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.
“No, your husband did not speak. I didn’t need him to give me words. I needed his heart and soul.”
When I recall this story, I realize the truth.
When having someone in our lives who is going through difficulty, we are often at a loss. What do we say How do we make it all better What is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones
We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself, give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just show that you are there for them. Perhaps you can’t fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the silence comes sympathy, understanding and empathy (共鸣). And you share the load.
4. What does the underlined word “solace” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Inspiration. B. Comfort. C. Appreciation. D. Guidance.
5. How did the author’s father help lighten the man’s sorrow
A. By encouraging him to get out and meet friends.
B. By keeping him company calmly.
C. By hugging him to share extreme sadness.
D. By chatting with him whenever he was in need.
6. How might the author’s mother feel after hearing the man’s words
A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Annoyed. D. Satisfied.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Time is the recipe to cure a broken heart.
B. The secret of establishing a lifelong relationship.
C. Listening to your heart is of great importance.
D. Your presence speaks louder than any word.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了一对夫妇经历了一场悲剧，而作者的父亲一句话没说，只是静静的陪着他们，作一个倾听者，给了这对夫妇很大的安慰。经过此事，让作者明白有时候人们在经历心理创伤时需要的不是他人的话语，而是默默的陪伴和理解。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“to lift them from the depths of despair. (把他们从绝望的深渊中拉出来)”和第四段的“He then gave the secret of my father’s consolation (慰藉)(然后他告诉了我父亲安慰的秘密)”可知，母亲想要知道父亲究竟说了什么安慰的话把这对夫妇从绝望的深渊的拉出去。由此猜测solace指“安慰”之意，与comfort同义。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Rebbetzin, your husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like. Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering.(Rebbetzin，你丈夫一句话也没说。他径直来到我家，一言不发地走到我面前。然后他向我伸出手，把我的手握在他的手里，拥抱了我。我抬起头，看见泪水从他的眼中滑落。你无法想象那是什么感觉。你丈夫感受到了我的痛苦。我没有独自忍受痛苦)”可知，作者的父亲是通过拥抱他来分享极度的悲伤，帮助减轻他的悲伤。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation numerous times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.(我母亲想知道，有什么安慰的话能把他们从绝望的深渊中拉出来。所以回到家后，她问了我父亲很多次他们的谈话，但我父亲坚持说他什么也没说)”以及第六段“My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.(母亲很安静，领会着这个人的意思)”以及倒数第四段““No, your husband did not speak. I didn’t need him to give me words. I needed his heart and soul.”(“不，你丈夫没有说话。我不需要他对我说话。我需要他的心和灵魂。”)”可知，母亲一直好奇父亲说了什么，给了这对夫妇很大安慰，谁知父亲一句话也没说，所以可推知，母亲一定是惊讶的。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself, give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just show that you are there for them. Perhaps you can't fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the silence comes sympathy, understanding and empathy (共鸣). And you share the load.(我们倾向于认为我们必须用文字填满空格。但是当你想要付出自己的时候，请付出一颗倾听的心。有时候，一个痛苦的人需要你保持沉默。只要表现出你在他们身边就行了。也许你不能解决任何问题或带走痛苦，但你能感受到它。沉默带来了同情、理解和同情。你要分担负担)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了一对夫妇经历了一场悲剧，而作者的父亲一句话没说，只是静静的陪着他们，作一个倾听者，给了这对夫妇很大的安慰，让作者明白有时候人们在经历心理创伤时需要的不是他人的话语，而是默默的陪伴和理解，所以D项“Your presence speaks louder than any word.(你的存在比任何言语都更有说服力)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
C
According to a well-known team of researchers, there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they were to focus only on the face, they would probably know whether a smile was genuine or not.
This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.
Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.
Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.
8. What did the experiments show
A. Most people tend to force a smile when taking pictures.
B. People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes.
C. People using body language are often smiling genuinely.
D. Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions.
C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How spontaneous smiling happens.
10. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text
A. To show the problems brought by smiling.
B. To show some cultural differences of smiling.
C. To explain how people hide their true feelings.
D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Smiling has little to do with character. B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings.
C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with. D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于分心，大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。解释了微笑是如何自然而然发生的以及微笑在不同的国家有不同的含义。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. (在实验中，实验对象可以看到假笑和自然笑的照片，人们很善于分辨其中的区别。但在现实世界中，大多数人都无法区分它们。他们会被其他交流元素分散注意力，比如讲话、手势和其他身体动作)”可知，实验说明了由于分心，大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.(这是因为自发的微笑涉及两块肌肉。第一块肌肉是每只眼睛周围的环状肌肉带。当它收缩时，就会产生我们所知的“笑眼”。另一块肌肉从颧骨顶部延伸到嘴角。当我们微笑时，它会让嘴巴向上移动。这块肌肉本身就产生了我们所说的“嘴笑”。当人们真诚地微笑时，在一种自发的积极情绪中，嘴角会上扬，眼睛周围的肌肉也会收缩。正是这些肌肉表明微笑是真诚的)”可知，第二段主要讲了自然微笑是如何产生的。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.(微笑在不同的国家有不同的含义。例如，在美国，微笑是一种友好、积极的信任姿态。相比之下，在一些亚洲社会，人们当然会在高兴时微笑，但在感到愤怒、悲伤、困惑或尴尬时也会微笑，也许是为了掩盖他们的真实感受)”可推知，文中提到美国和一些亚洲社会是为了展示与微笑相关的文化差异。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.(抛开文化规范不谈，有些人比其他人更爱笑，这似乎表明他们是开朗、乐观的类型。但这种关系并不完全正确。有些人很少微笑，却很快乐。另一些人通常在他们感到焦虑的时候脸上挂着微笑。人类的交流充满了不确定性，有时我们很难理解彼此，但一个真正的、发自内心的微笑永远不会被误解)”可推知，微笑与性格没什么关系。故选A。
D
The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still eatable before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12. What changes does Broad Leib see
A. People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
B. Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
C. Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
D. Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
13. What does the underlined word “bewilderment” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Sadness. B. Convenience. C. Confusion. D. Emotion.
14. How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A. By increasing storehouses.
B. By fighting hunger with rewards.
C. By reducing food produced within the country.
D. By using double date labeling on packaged food.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
B. Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
C. Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D. Broad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球粮食捐赠政策地图集最近发布了一份报告，提出了增加粮食捐赠、减少粮食浪费和抗击饥饿的方法有助于肯尼亚实现减少粮食浪费的目标。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Broad Leib 报道的“ While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction. (虽然进展没有达到所需的速度，但肯尼亚的粮食损失指数已经从2017年的1744吨稳步下降到2018年的1531吨，再到2019年的1446吨，这表明肯尼亚在稳步改善，并承诺减少粮食损失)”可知，肯尼亚稳步减少了食物浪费。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. (造成食物浪费的一个主要原因是日期标签不一致或不清晰，这会导致价值链上所有参与者的困惑，并限制企业捐赠食物的能力)”可知，日期标签不确定性会导致困惑并限制捐赠能力，所以划线所在句中通过明确安全日期与品质日期的方式会减少此类困惑，划线词“bewilderment”此处表示“困惑”的含义。A. Sadness.悲伤；B. Convenience.便利；C. Confusion.困惑；D. Emotion.情感。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors. (包装食品上的双重日期标签通过明确安全和质量日期来减少困惑。这有助于减少大量浪费，对捐助者负责)”可知Broad Lib认为使用双日期标签能减少肯尼亚的食物浪费。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation. (FLPC的研究表明，公私合作可以帮助提高消费者和捐赠者对食物浪费和食物捐赠问题的认识)”可知，针对食品安全问题，需要私营部门和公共部门的共同努力。故选C。

【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Eat small meals (少吃多餐)”和前文“ It can be appealing to fill up before you travel to avoid eating packaged food on board.(为了避免在飞机上吃包装食品，在旅行前填饱肚子是很有吸引力的。)”可知接下来应该对这个现象进行评价，G项“But doctors recommend eating smaller, more frequent meals.(但医生建议少吃多餐)”符合本段主题，其中eating smaller为同词复现。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Do you get sick when you’re riding in the second or third row of an SUV Are you OK on a train, but tend to feel sick on buses Knowing what causes your sickness can help you avoid them.(当你坐在一辆SUV的第二排或第三排时，你会感到恶心吗 你在火车上还好，但在公共汽车上却感觉不舒服吗？了解致病原因可以帮助你避免生病)”可知，本段讲述了解致病原因，再根据后文“On a train, face forward, avoiding seats that face backward. If you’re flying, sit close to the wing of the plane. On a boat, try to sit at the front.(在火车上，面朝前，避开面朝后的座位。如果你坐飞机，坐在靠近机翼的地方。在船上，尽量坐在前面)”后文讲述具体的做法，所以空处应是一个过渡句，A项“In a car or bus, for instance, sitting toward the front may help.(例如，在汽车或公共汽车上，坐在前面可能会有帮助)”符合文意，开始举具体例子，结构和后文相同，起到过渡作用。故选A项。
【19题详解】
分析设空可知，是本段的小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“For travel by boat, car, train, or bus, looking toward the horizon may help prevent motion sickness. In a study, for instance, looking at the horizon while at sea reduced body sway (摇摆) (people who suffer from motion sickness tend to have more body sway while standing). (对于乘船、汽车、火车或公共汽车旅行，看向地平线可能有助于预防晕动病。例如，在一项研究中，在海上看地平线可以减少身体的摆动(患有晕动病的人在站立时往往会有更多的身体摆动))”可知，本段讲述看向地平线可能有助于预防晕动病，所以F项“Look at the horizon. (看看地平线)”是本段的小标题，其中horizon为同词复现。故选F项。
【20题详解】
分析设空，位于本段段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“It may be appealing to catch up on work or sink into a good book, but reading or using a device like a computer or a tablet should be avoided. The balance center in your inner ear senses movement, but the words on the screen or page are still. (赶上工作或沉浸在一本好书中可能很有吸引力，但应该避免阅读或使用电脑或平板电脑等设备。你内耳的平衡中心感觉运动，但屏幕或页面上的文字是静止的)”可知，C项“These mixed messages can result in sickness. (这些混杂的信息会导致疾病)”是对前文的总结。故选C项。

Next morning, Amy went to school cursing（咒骂）everyone possible for having to go to school. Even in school, Amy had a reputation（名声）of sorts for all the wrong reasons. She slept in class and did not finish her work. In playtime, Amy had to go out and play, but she tried to find an excuse saying that she was tired when someone caught her walking away.
She came home with leftovers in her lunchbox or other complaint almost every day, and that day was also no different.
"Who can help me to change my daughter " Hannah wondered.
Hannah never believed in raising her voice or raising her arm on Amy or on anyone for that matter. She believed and wished that her love and patience would one day change Amy.
One day a new family moved into Amy's apartment. They were very friendly people. They wanted to acquaint（使…熟悉）themselves with all the neighbors, so their little girl , Mary, was sent all around the neighborhood to find friends. Soon, Mary carne to Amy's home.
It didn't take much time for Mary to understand Amy. However, she was not put off by Amy's behavior. She knew that she needed to help Amy to change. She told Amy an idea that her teacher had once told the class in her previous school. "Blow a balloon whenever you're angry or upset about something or someone.
At first Amy did not listen to Mary, but Hannah tried her best to tell her that it was fun and brought her a pack of balloons.

She remembered what Mary told her and thought she would give it a try. Amy dashed into her room, found the balloons and picked one out with an overwhelming sense of anger. Thinking about her mother's refusal, Amy spared no effort to blow the balloon. Suddenly, the balloon exploded with a bang, making her numb with shock.

What set Amy apart is that she volunteers to spread the function of blowing balloon in her community. She wants to do something for her neighborhood just like what Mary did for her.

Instead of losing her temper all the time, she is now a polite and thoughtful girl with contagious enthusiasm.
