18、you want a perfect scar, he wants to give you one. Youll barely see it.” I found some comfort in that.I googled “cancer surgery scar”and was presented with neck images: necks with red and purple lines. closed with stitches or glue; necks with multiple scars.It was enough to make me shut my Macbook,
19、as anxiety pulsed through my body. In the mirror, I admired my neck, running my finger across a gold chain I wore. Then a tiny voice said:“Mummy!”My then fie-year-old son,.

But the minute you kick the habit, youll fee
26、l a difference.Vaping is the use of electronic cigarettes-e-cigarettes. Vaping became mainstream in the United States in the late 2000s. When e-cigarettes first hit the market, people believed they were a safer choice to tobacco cigarettes. We now know, however, that vaping, like smoking cigarettes
27、can be quite damaging to your health-and equally addictive.Kids and teenagers are especially attracted to vaping, thanks to attractive flavors. Vape use in high school students rose by 900 percent between 2011 and 2015.Quitting vaping can be difficult, just like trying to stop smoking. There are som

The positive ones soon outpace the negative, however.In as little as 20 minutes, your heart rate returns to normal, your blood pressure drops, and your circulation starts to normalize. Your breathing may improve, too.Daily e-cigarette doubles a
29、persons risk for a heart attack. If you quit, however, the risk begins to fall very quickly. Also, vaping, like cigarette smoking, can blunt your senses, reducing your ability to smell and taste. After just 48 hours without vaping, you may begin to notice your ability to taste and smell food has imp
30、roved. Nicotine affects more than your brain: new research suggests nicotine can raise your blood sugar, too.Smokers often have a troublesome cough or make a breathless sound when they breathe that many refer to as a smokers cough. Smoking even e-cigarettes can badly harm your lung health and make f
31、ighting off infections difficult. Quitting, however, will help your lungs recover. After one month, your lung capacity improves.There will come a day when the bad habit of vaping wont have any lasting influence on your body and your health.28.What did Americans think of e-cigarettes?A.They were chea

34、ad moments. Its hardly a new idea that music is mixed with our emotions. But how have our favorites changed over the decades, and what do these changes say about Americas shifting emotional landscape (景象)?Researcher E. Glenn Schellenberg set out to examine songs popular in America during the last fi
35、ve decades, using a selection from Billboard Magazines Hot 100 charts, hoping to learn how emotional cues (提示) in music, such as tempo (slow to fast) and mode (major or minor key), have changed since 1960.The most striking finding is the change in key. Songs written in a major key tend to sound warm
36、 and high-spirited, while songs in a minor key can sound darker and more melancholic (忧郁的). Over the last few decades, popular songs have switched from major to minor keys. Broadly speaking, the sound has shifted from bright and happy to something more complex. The study also finds Americas popular
37、songs have become slower and longer. Even more interesting, is that our current favorites are more likely to be emotionally ambiguous, such as sad-sounding songs being fast or happy-sounding songs being slow.A possible explanation for the changes is that the more contemporary music reflects the hard
38、ships that our society has gone through. However, Schellenberg believes that the steady increase in length and decrease in tempo doesnt support the idea of growing difficulties fully because it would mean our problems have increased steadily over the last fifty years. He suggests that popular songs
39、have become more complex over time because Americans are becoming more diverse and individualized in their musical tastes.Though we can only guess about the specific causes of this evolution in music, Schellenbergs initial observations have helped to open the door to research on the link between emo
40、tion and music consumption. Perhaps someday well learn more of the secrets behind the music we love and the times we live in.32.Why did Schellenberg start the study?A.To change music styles.B.To explore changes in music.C.To select Americas favorite music.D.To examine the creation of music.33.What c
41、an we learn from the findings?A.Older songs were often more sad-sounding.B.Popular songs have become warmer and shorter.C.Recent hits are likely to be longer and more complex.D.Current favorites tend to be composed in a major key.34.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A.The influences of the s
42、tudy.B.The diversity of musical tastes.C.The causes of the music changes.D.The features of Americas society.35.What is the authors attitude to the study?A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Ambiguous. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lets face it: The last hour of an
43、yones workday is not always fruitful. As the hours of peak productivity start to decline, most people begin watching the clock, waiting for nothing.36.“How positively you end your professional day can promote success both inside and outside of the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strat
44、egist. Lets see how successful people end their workday with a bang. Successful people reflect on their accomplishments. While many of us spend our last hour of work making a to-do list for tomorrow, they review the day they just had, instead.37.Similarly, Levin recommends writing down the days wins
45、 rather than setbacks or to-dos, as well as reviewing your list of successes once a month. It will prove your professional growth and bring more joy into your job. Also, successful people brainstorm solutions for todays setbacks.38.Instead, they end their day by thinking carefully about the problems
46、 they met, brainstorming possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They will settle those problems after a good nights sleep. 39.Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus on finding solutions for their projects. “Forget the horrib

48、.B.Successful people make a to-do list.C.It will make people understand the problems better.D.They never bring the days failures home with them.E.Another work these people do is to create an action list.F.But ending the workday with purpose can make a difference.G.They typically choose a case and co
