What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother’s biscuits? The mud (泥) pies you made as a child? And what are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?
This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies. From scratch. And I didn’t burn them. Yes, I’m the kind of cook who’s always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn’t burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.
What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet (煎蛋饼) that tastes better than both. They’re easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings (一份食物) in one pan (平底锅) at the same time.
Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it.
I’ve made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for sleepovers (夜宿的客人) and houseguests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.
After my kids grew up, I didn’t cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I’d make Dutch Babies for breakfast.
I can’t recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID-19, and we stopped having guests.
So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It’s been a hard year for all of us, filled with things we couldn’t do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive.
I mixed up the ingredients and stuck it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I’ve baked it for over the years.
Good food can feed a hungry crowd. But if it’s made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come. Add your own memories. And say thanks to my friend Sally.
24. The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to _______.
A. explain the connection between food and memory
B. express the author’s concern about food safety
C. introduce the topic to be discussed
D. remind readers of something delicious
25. What do paragraphs 4 to 6 mainly talk about?
A. The author’s tips on how to make Dutch Babies.
B. The author’s memories of making Dutch Babies.
C. Why Dutch Babies were welcomed at the author’s home.
D. The author’s family tradition of eating Dutch Babies.
26. Why did the author make Dutch Babies again after more than a year?
A. To welcome guests from afar.
B. To please her husband.
C. To thank her friend Sally.
D. To show her gratitude for being alive.
27. What does the author want to tell us from this article?
A. Food tastes better when it is shared.
B. Food made with love can feed the soul.
C. Food gives us hope for better days.
D. Food eaten when hungry creates good memories.
C
Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to decline and evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls.”
In life, we’ll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a difference. Pensions (养老金) and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.
I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize this basic truth of life, the more clearly you'll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.
The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken, he invented “finger-licking” seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6,000 locations. Sanders’ life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long as it is your passion.
28. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?
A. By listing examples. B. By showing contrast.
C. By including a quote. D. By sharing his experience.
29. How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?
A. Deeply moved. B. Pleasantly surprised.
C. Greatly relieved. D. Internally motivated.
30. What does the author suggest we do?
A. Get career guidance. B. Get a well-paid job.
C. Secure our position. D. Pursue our passion.
31. What is the best title for this text?
A. Passion or Pension? B. Following Your Dreams
C. Working for Pension D. To Work or not to Work?
D
If you walked by James Fasulo’s bedroom, in Queens, New York, you might hear the 8-year-old talking. You might think he was speaking with a friend, or with his 4-year-old sister, Anna. More likely, James would be talking to his smart speaker, an Echo Dot. “I use it daily,” he says.
James often asks his Dot to tell jokes, report the time and temperature, and play music. And his sister? “She asks it to play songs from Frozen,” he says.
As of December 2017, there were about 67 million smart speakers in households in the United States, according to a study by National Public Radio and Edison Research. A year later, that number had jumped to nearly 119 million. That’s a 78% increase.
“Families are very interested in trying these products,” says Caroline Knorr of Common Sense Media. Kids like James and Anna also love that they are fun.
Smart speakers include devices (设备) such as Google Home and Amazon Echo. Common Sense Media made a survey of more than 1, 000 parents with kids ages 2 to 8. The survey asked about how kids use smart speakers. It also asked about privacy.
Nearly half of the parents said their kids use the speakers, and half of those kids use them daily. Of parents who have, at some point, turned off a smart speaker’s microphone (麦克风), about one-third of them did it because they didn’t trust the device.
“A smart speaker might behave like a human in some of the ways it answers us,” says Florian Schaub, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. “But that’s really a company collecting data (数据) about you. Everything you say to a smart speaker is recorded by these companies.”
“Companies use the recordings in different ways,” Schaub says, “such as to personalize service or decide which ads to play.” If users don’t like this, he suggests they mute the speaker when it’s not in use and consider setting privacy controls.
James Fasulo says he doesn’t worry about privacy. But his mom, Nancy Ellwood, does. “Sometimes, the speaker flashes (闪现) its lights when we’re not talking directly to it, ” she says. “I wonder what it’s doing.”
32．What do we know about James Fasulo’s Echo Dot?
A．It can move around freely.
B．It can be controlled by voice.
C．It is mainly used to play music.
D．It is shaped like a human being.
33．What did the survey by Common Sense Media find out?
A．Smart speakers are less helpful for kids.
B．Google Home is smarter than Amazon Echo.
C．Some users have less trust in smart speakers.
D．Smart speaker users have rapidly increased in number.
34．What does the underlined word “mute” in Paragraph 8 probably mean?
A．Fix up. B．Talk to.
C．Turn off. D．Research into.
35．Who cares more about privacy?
A．Anna Fasulo. B．James Fasulo.
C．Caroline Knorr. D．Nancy Ellwood.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Most Western people slept in long nightshirts until the early 20th century. British colonists brought home with them comfortable sleepwear worn by inhabitants of their colonies. ___36___
By the 1920s, the fashion trend had found its way across the Atlantic to America’s shores. ___37___ Envious of the appearance and comfort of men’s pajamas (睡衣), women soon began trading in their nightgowns for fashionable trousers with jacket tops (上衣) made from silk for nighttime sleepwear.
___38___ The 1934 film It Happened One Night, a romantic comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, is sometimes attributed to having started the trend of women wearing this style of sleepwear. In one scene, Colbert is seen wearing a pair of pajamas borrowed from the character played by Gable.
___39___ Kids also found them to be warm and comfortable for sleeping, as well as for watching TV before going to bed. Often decorated with cartoon characters or kids’ favorite action heroes, a new set of pajamas given as a gift during the holidays became something of a tradition.
Today, it’s become acceptable in some circles for women to leave the house wearing sleepwear while dropping the kids off a
