A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his

family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were

local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community,

Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.

Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life

changed course.

Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the

holiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with

The next

Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he sa year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”

With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid

growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter

Learning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working across

cultures.

In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose

because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do

anything. Americans especially can’t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.

So what’s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don’t offer a compromise just because

are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “What’s your in to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Let’s come back to t and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”

In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look

at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “I’m in control. I know what I’m confident.”

A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced

s. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural

with many pauses so that you didn’t miss his key point

reaction is that we’d better pay attention, there’s something going on here.

Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you

spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response

keep talking you’re

and to start thinking consciously and processing.

Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself

the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in

Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US,

we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.

Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for

developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business,

politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.

8. What is most likely to be Americans idea?

A. Speaking less gives the upper hand

B. The shorter talking gaps are, the better.

C. A silent man is the best one to listen to

D. Speak out what you have in your mind.

9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?

A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.

B. To explain silence can be more effective.

C. To introduce how to make a presentation.

D. To prove silence can ease one’s nervousness.

10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?

A. Supporting some person with any selfless help.

B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.

C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully.

D. Using a way that discourages independent thought.

11. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Silence is the best defense.

B. Silence in negotiations is of great help.

C. Learning the skills about silence is important.

D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture.

British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now

some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.

Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday

off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate

like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that

they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success, Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”

The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each

week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European

neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.

British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. Mo than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year.

Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the

labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.

Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work

longer ho urs. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in

its from new technology, not allowing those at the

the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benef

top to grab them for themselves.” she says.

12. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. British people are the least productive in the world

B. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week

C. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happiness

D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries

13. Which is the proper description of British working practices?

A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.

B. In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.

C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.

D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market.

14. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the

last paragraph?

A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.

B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.

C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.

D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.

15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

-day working week.

A. To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four

B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.

C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.

D. To present the current productivity problem in Britain.

Hello, everybody! I’m very glad to share my dream with you.

His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize? Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from. Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever. 1.Nobel wanted to set up the Nobel Peace Prize because _____. A. he made enough money B. he hated war C. he wanted to get more interest from the fund D. he liked to live in a peaceful world 2.Nobel Prizes come from _____. A. all Nobel’s money in the fund B.

Nobel worked hard in his life and saved lots of money for the world to share. B When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are. People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.

2019年浙江省温州市高考英语模拟试卷（2月份）一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分） A ‘Turtle time!，loudly called out by one of my newly-found friends，meant the beginning of either a morning or afternoon shift at Turtle Camp in Nusa Penida，Indonesia．Upon arrival at the project each day，we would look eagerly for our names on the whiteboard to see which task we would be undertaking．Would it be the highly desirable ‘turtle feeding'，the pretty fun ‘tank cleaning'，the exciting ‘medicine administering' or the less appealing ‘fish cutting'？Fine in theory but not when every fly in Indonesia decides to crowd onto these dead fish while you're cutting! Life at the turtle project was fun because twice a day we got to hang out with sea turtles．By ‘hang out'，I obviously meant ‘work'，as we were on shift，but it certainly didn't feel like work．Another fun thing was getting to know the other volunteers! With volunteers from all over the world，it was just common to hear Finnish being spoken，Australian slang mixed with French expressions and Swedes making plans to visit newly-found friends in the USA．Of course，not all the time at Turtle Camp was consumed by volunteering．Scheduled activities included a trip to Crystal Bay，a beautiful paradise for swimming and sunbathing，an awesome beach bonfire complete with a beautiful sunset as well as our local coworkers showing off their guitar playing and singing skills． Our time at Turtle Camp was capped off by setting free two of our turtles into the sea to begin their journey as independent turtles! Hopefully，the love and care provided at the turtle project would ensure that these turtles had a greater chance of survival in the big，wide and scary ocean． 1.Which task is less fun to the volunteers at Turtle Camp？______ A. Turtle feeding． B. Tank cleaning． C. Medicine Administering． D. Fish Cutting． 2.What does the underlined sentence imply？______ A. The volunteering was a challenge． B. The time at the camp was difficult． C. The work at the project was a delight． D. Communication was time-consuming． 3.When setting free the two turtles，the volunteers felt a sense of ______ ． A. achievement B. belonging C. loss D. independence B If you're looking at livable cities as inspiration for your holiday，you'll miss out on many great tourist destinations．According to Mercer's 2018 Quality of Living Survey，Moscow ranks 167 and Beijing only 119，yet both provide ample visitor pleasures．Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe （神户）or Seattle may be easy places to live in，but offer only passing interest to tourists．In truth，many of the world's most livable cities are a little dull． The world isn't rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal．In fact，none of the world's 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer's top 20．Clearly，considerations that create enjoyable holiday destinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live in． This should be no surprise，since livability lists aren't concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather expats（侨民）．Mercer，for example，is a British-based professional service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human resources information about where to locate their businesses．"The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as ease of travel and communication，personal safety，and access to public services，says Slagin Parakatil，who oversees Mercer's research．In short，Mercer considers whether cities are attractive to business and investment，and have good schools，hospitals and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists． Still，Mercer's Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists，since it also looks at natural and cultural environments and recreation．It ranks public transport and infrastructure（基础设施）particularly highly，a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel competitiveness．This includes hotels，rental-cars and even ATM availability，all of which make a destination friendly to expats and visitors alike． 4.What do we know about livable cities？______ A. They hardly offer tourist passing interest． B. They may not be good tourist destinations． C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors． D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists． 5.What is Mercer more concerned about when ranking livable cities？______ A. Tourist attractions． B. ATM availability． C. Business-friendliness． D. Local residents． 6.Why does the writer use Mercer's Quality of Living Survey？______ A. To make his view convincing． B. To compare those livable cities． C. To better understand the survey． D. To support the British-based firm． C Every day around the world，thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums．They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists．Imagine，before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls，museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist．How many people would go to museums if that were the case？ Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature．Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions，which often include spoilers，assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover，be absorbed in，and be surprised by the story world．Also，apparently，we mustn't read classics alone，without experts guiding our experiences． However，classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we're not alone in our pains and joys．By taking us out of our time，classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place．What could be more grounding，more comforting，than seeing ourselves in the battles，longings，and pleasures that have played out across hundreds，thousands of years of human history？Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world．We may，for example，feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in． While we're letting go of things，let's stop worrying about understanding everything．We can't．It will be fun if we embrace curiosity，the pleasure of working out a mystery，and our common relationships as humans．We can feel，for example，the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens'A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language． 7.Most museum goers ______ ． A. enjoy reading notice boards B. understand the artworks well C. lack professional art knowledge D. share common interest in artworks 8.What can the spoilers in Para.2 possibly be ？______ A. Story writers． B. Readers' expectations． C. Guiding experts． D. Plots given away in advance． 9.What prevents readers enjoying reading classics？______ A. Showing curiosity about the writers． B. Letting go of things．
