When we meet the homeless, most of us might avoid eye contact and walk a little faster. 1. What's his or her story? How long have they lived on the streets? Maybe you even wanted to help, but didn't know how to start a conversation. Then the following might help you.
2. Is there another way I can help?
This is an especially good thing to say if you're uncomfortable handing over cash or don't have any to offer. Undoubtedly, money is something that a homeless person needs, but often there is a specific thing that can quickly help that person out of a terrible situation.
Did you catch the game?
3. Talking about sports is a good idea. While there is a game, bring it up like talking about the weather — sports is a topic of conversation that you don't have to be of a certain class to experience.
Good morning.
Say “hi” or “hello” or try to acknowledge the person in some way. 4. Regardless of what your greeting may be, it's important to look the person in the eye when speaking. According to the homeless, one of the many difficult things about being homeless is that you feel less than human.
How are you doing? Would you like to talk?
These questions are great because they're open-ended. Don't be surprised if people are not interested in chatting, though. You're getting into their personal lives. 5. If, however, the person is open to talking, this can lead to a real conversation — and maybe even provide a way for you to offer help.
A.I don't have any money.
B.It's good to hear kindness.
C.But you might also think about the situation.
D.Maybe they don't want to discuss that with a stranger.
E.Athletic events are often shown on televisions on the streets.
F.The non-homeless person almost never looks the homeless in the eye.
G.Offering a wish of good will can be a powerful thing to the homeless.

When most of us look at our hands, we might notice that we need to clean, or stop biting our fingernails, and that’s about it. But if you ask a doctor, he can see a whole lot more. Everything from poor diet and stress to serious kidney (肾) problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.
There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues, though may indicate more than one problem, according to Dr.Amy Derick, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.
Here are five of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.
1. People who aren’t eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails, which are more likely to break.
2.Horizontal (水平的) lines are associated with serious physical stress. They frequently occur in people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses, injuries, or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly, there may be an altitude connection too. They’ve also been found in people who dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.
3. Vertical (垂直的)lines, however, are generally not such a big deal. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others, but they’re commonly associated with aging.
4. When people lack iron, their nails can turn spoon-like. Instead of curving down and covering the finger normally, they ’ll start to rise up on the sides and front, like the part of a spoon that holds liquid.
5. Kidney and liver problems can create “half-and-half nails”, where one part of the nail is white and the other part dark or pink, according to Derick.
Doctors note that because disease diagnosis is complex and some symptoms can be associated with different diseases, you should always see a medical professional if you are concerned about something you notice.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Doctors can tell us something about our health by looking at our nails.
B. We should see a doctor if we find nails in bad condition.
C. A famous doctor in the USA conducted an interesting research.
D. If we don’t want to get ill, we need to clean and stop biting our fingernails.
2. If we don’t eat well or regularly, our fingernails may ________.
A. become harder than normal nails.
B. become thinner than normal nails.
C. become “half-and-half” nails.
D. have horizontal and vertical lines.
3.Who will have horizontal lines on the nails ?
A. A cancer patient who has received normal treatment.
B. Hungry African children suffering from severe malnourishment.
C. An explorer who had reached Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province.
D. A patient with serious illness, like kidney and liver problems.
4. Which of the following best describes the nails that show people lack iron?
A. The nails are thinner and more likely to break.
B. The nails will curve down and cover the fingers.
C. The nails will start to rise up on the sides and front.
D. The nails will change their colours on the surface.

As is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 1. We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.
2. According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.
People who generally have trouble resisting temptations (诱惑) and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 3. Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 4.
Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 5. We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.
A. Bedtime procrastination is a common problem.
B. It will have extreme effect on our health sooner or later.
C. Yet, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame.
D. Unfortunately, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.
E. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.
F. Biological processes need to support this intention.
G. So we just need to take action to change our sleep model.

Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.
Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?
Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.
At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.
Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs, meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.
But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy—one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.
More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.
And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space—but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.
Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety — even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”
1.From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.
A.some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance
B.most people are not afraid of being too beautiful
C.we might always dream about being bothered by others
D.being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone
2.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?
A.Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.
B.Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.
C.An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.
D.Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.
3.The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _______.
A.persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now on
B.suggest that beauty can help make a better personality
C.encourage us to focus more on improving our personality
D.ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Real Beauty B.Sexist Prejudice
C.Blessed with Beauty D.Beauty, a Blessing?
高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
To the untrained eye it might seem like just a bit of a monkey trick. But when Milly the mandrill (山魈, 西非洲产的大狒狒) covers her face with her hand she is actually sending a serious message to her fellows: “Leave me alone!”
Experts believe the 15-year-old mandrill invented the gesture to warn other monkeys at Colchester Zoo to give her some space. And, surprisingly, the signal has been picked by other members of the group, who use it when they too require solitude.
Biologist Mark Laidre believes the behavior is evidence of social culture among the mandrills. Importantly, the sign language is unlikely to have been influenced by human activities because mandrills do not copy humans. Mr. Laidre expects further research will uncover other monkeys using cultural gestures — the ability to communicate with the hands in a meaningful way. “By covering their eyes with their hands, possibly conveyed to others that they wanted to be left alone and this message may have been respected as a ‘do not disturb’ sign,” said Mr. Laidre.
While the hand is in place, other monkeys are not likely to approach or touch the monkey. Those who rank lower in the social order also use the technique to avoid attacks from more powerful group members. As the discovery appears to be unique to Colchester Zoo, it suggests it is a local phenomenon that arose naturally in the community of 25 mandrills.
Curator (园长) Sarah Forsyth said: “We believe Milly made up the signal and over the past five years some of the younger mandrills have picked it up. We’re not sure why she started doing it but it could be as simple as ‘I can’t see them, so they can’t see me’. It really does show you how intelligent mandrills are.”
1. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How humans influenced monkeys.
B. A monkey invented a gesture.
C. A new social culture was discovered.
D. How experts made the new discovery.
2. What does the underlined word “solitude” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Aloneness. B. Comfort.
C. Protection. D. Respect.
3. According to Mark Laidre, _____.
A. human activities affect mandrills’ sign language
B. animals are slow in picking up information
C. mandrills’ social culture has nothing to do with humans
D. mandrills are the largest species of monkey in the world
4. The monkeys can also use the “do not disturb” sign to _____.
A. protect themselves from being harmed
B. struggle against more powerful group members
C. show humans how intelligent they are
5.What can be known from the text?
A. Milly invented the gesture when she was 15.
B. Mandrills are best known for their social ability.
C. Why Milly first used the sign language is known to experts.
D. Only the mandrills in Colchester Zoo use the gesture.

Most of us probably dreamed about becoming an astronaut when we were little. But how many of us actually became one, or are at least working toward it?
The advice ''Always follow your dreams'' is something that is typically easier said than done.
But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates for NASA's 2033 project to go to Mars.
Carson has dreamed of going to Mars since she was only three years old. Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so. Since then, she has worked hard toward this goal. Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a ''normal'' teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages—English, French, Spanish and Chinese.
''I don't think there's anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others can't do, '' Carson said in an interview with Uproxx News. ''I've just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish. ''
And Carson is willing to make sacrifices for her dream. She's fully aware of the danger of the mission and the possibility that she might never be able to come back. She also accepts the fact that she can't get married and start a family. But Carson believes that it's all worth it, summarizing her view with this ancient Greek proverb she once quoted? ''A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they’ll never sit in. ''
So after all the hard work that Carson has done and all the sacrifices she's made, every — thing still boils down to the simple phrase, ''follow your dreams''. And while some people's dreams may sound out of this world, in Carson's case, they literally (毫不夸张地) are.
1.What will happen to Carson in 2033 if everything goes well? (no more than 8 words)
2.Why did Carson decide to be the first one to go to Mars? (no more than 20 words)
3.How does Carson differ from other students for the school work? (no more than 10 words)
4.How do you understand the underlined sentence? (no more than 20 words)
5.What do you think of the girl? And why? (no more than 25 words)
