He was 29 years old at the time and alone. These days, he owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic despite the crisis. “We’re going to pool our resources and people will pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problems,” he told Reader’s Digest. With that attitude in mind, he posted this on Nextdoor: “We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill at 1305 Castro St. to grab a lunch or dinner prepackaged box beginning Tuesday, March 17, beginning at noon and every day after. Price is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses,” he wrote. Bistro SF Grill will be offering three different meals: chicken, rice, and vegetables; fish, rice, and vegetables; and vegan mushroom paella. All are gluten-free (无谷蛋白). The menu will change weekly. “A lot of seniors, families, and people who don’t know how to cook are in need of fresh, high-quality food daily,” Felic said. “I’ve seen much worse than this—groups of people with guns, and people killed. I was hungry for three years. Under these conditions, food is necessary. Our idea was: Let’s try to help. We’d like to give for free but we can’t afford it.” The restaurant started GoFundMe (请资助我) page to further lower the cost of the meals. So far, neighbors have pitched in almost $2,000. He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping us—all of us—get through this. “This problem will be contained, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come together, I think we can overcome almost anything.” 24. Why did Seni Felic post a message on Nextdoor? A. To provide free food. B. To sell a cheap lunch. C. To make more money. D. To earn a good name. 25. One of Seni Felic’s experiences in the past was he ________. A. used to suffer from hunger B. didn’t know how to cook C. was offered food for free D. faced the threat of death 26. What does the underlined phrase “pitched in” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Dealt with. B. Focused on. C. Accounted for. D. Contributed to. 27. Which of the following is Seni Felic’s belief? A. Equality for all. B. Greeting with each other. C. Spirit of cooperation. D. Being confident. C Vegetarianism (素食主义) is growing in popularity in lot of countries. And now, South Africa is one of them. Today, more and more South Africans are experimenting with the vegetarian way of life by cutting all meat out of their diet. Others are exploring veganism ( 纯 素 食 主 义 ). Vegans are similar to vegetarians but they avoid all animal-based products, including milk and eggs. Some vegans do not eat honey. There is no official count of how many vegans there are in South Africa. But the interest has led to the birth of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Johannesbur, the nation’s economic center. And this year. Africa’s first big vegan and plant-based- festival launches in Cape Town. The Vegan & Plant Powered Show takes place at the end of May. But veganism can be lonely road for many South Africans. The country is Africa’s top consumer of meat from cows, pigs and sheep, based on information from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Many South Africans express shock at the thought of giving up meat, which is central to celebrations and spirituality. This is an issue for many African vegans, including Anesu Mbizvo. “In African culture, a big part of family’s net worth is their livestock (畜牧). Their livestock define the wealth of family. And so when you kill an animal at a gathering, it’s seen as you giving of yourself.” But offering home-grown vegetables, she added, would not be considered as valuable. She said, “I think that’s one of the barriers to veganism for people of African cultures.” Some South Africans are finding their path somewhere in the middle. Thirty-one-year-old Thandiwe Ngubeni is a communications specialist. She still eats meat—but less and less of it as time goes by. “I feel more energetic when I eat a vegetarian or vegan meal. It actually just gives me more energy.” 28. Which of the following best describes vegans? A. They eat a little meat. B. They only eat vegetables. C. They build vegan restaurants. D. They refuse any food from animals. 29. What prevents veganism from being more popular in South Africa? A. A huge demand for meat. B. Traditional views of livestock. C. Ignoring the value of vegetables. D. Gap between the rich and the poor. 30. What do we know about Thandiwe Ngubeni? A. She is a vegan. B. She is a vegetarian. C. She takes the middle road. D. She refuses to eat any meat. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Many South Africans Welcome a Vegan Lifestyle B. Meat in South Africa Will Become Less Valuable C. Veganism Is impossible to Practice in South Africa D. Vegans’ Behaviors Are Too Extreme D Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but people of any age could train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger. Your brain is a learning machine. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is dedicated (专注的) practice: exercises for the mind. A scientist has developed a computer—based training schedule to speed up how the brain processes information, Brain HQ. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to improve both speed and accuracy. Over the course of your training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for instance) at an increasingly faster rate. It’s a bit like a tennis instructor, shooting balls at you faster and faster over the course of the summer to keep you challenged. Though you may have started out slow, a month later you’re pretty quick. The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly adaptable. If you ask your brain to learn it will learn. And it may speed up in the process. To keep your brain young, you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing Ping-Pong or contract bridge, doing puzzles, learning new language or a dance, taking piano lessons, building model airplane mastering gardening technique, discovering the secrets of beer-making and, sure, relearning advanced mathematics. Anything that closely engages your focus and is strongly rewarding will kick your brain into learning mode and will definitely improve it. 32. Why did the author call our brain a learning machine? A. It works well at any age. B. It can be trained to be sharp. C. It helps you acquire knowledge. D. It can be used to store information. 33. What are you asked to do during the Brain Fitness Program? A. Speak a language at a high speed. B. Tell apart words that sound similar. C. List words that have the same meanings. D. Receive tennis balls thrown by an instructor. 34. Which of the following best describes’ learning process of the brain? A. Faster and faster. B. Hard and difficult. C. Tired but delighted. D. Easy but beneficial. 35. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. The function of the brain. B. Fitness program arrangement. C. Activities used to train the brain. D. Pleasure from different activities. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get the Sleep Your Body Needs Boil three to four large lettuce leaves in a cup of water for 15 minutes.
