He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the big family. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean.When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had an old tuck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coning for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me.One day, I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said. “No, Dad.” He had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, Im too old for a goodbye kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest, time, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned his head and said. “Youre right. You are a big boy. a man. I wont kiss you anymore.” The tears began to well up in, his eyes, as he spoke.It wasnt long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a bad day when most of the fleet stayed in, but Dad insisted on going. He had a big family to feed.How I wish I could have, my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek to feel his rough old face to smell the ocean on him to feel his arm around my neck.

A Goodbye KissCA new study looks at how pets provide important support through petting, cuddles(拥抱), and a frequent physical presence. This is especially key when people feel lonely.The researchers interviewed 32 people aged 59 to 83 years old. Pets included dogs, cats, birds, etc. More than 90% of the people spoke about touch in the relationship with their pets. “Participants often described touch-based interactions with their pets as being comforting or relaxing in a way that contributed to their overall wellbeing,” the researchers say. “For our participants, comfort is the sense of being somehow cared for by another being.”Many people in the study spoke about how their pets just seemed to “know” when they werent feeling well and theyd move to get physically near them. Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted. Many said cats were more relaxing companions than dogs, while others said dogs could be relaxing as long as they were “the right kind of dog”. But almost all pets provided some sort of comfort to their owners when it came to touch.Janette Young, lecturer in health sciences at the University of South Australia, and her team uncovered an interesting thing about the pet-human relationship. People in the study often spoke about how their animals demanded to be petted or seemed to take joy in the interaction. This, in turn, made the humans feel good.The researchers suggest that pets can be “helpful in reducing touch deprivation(匮乏) and the benefits can come from all kinds of pets. This connection can be particularly important in health care and senior care settings where patients and workers are less likely to be able to see friends and family; yet touch is important and can improve health and happiness.Pets can also offer benefits that in some cases people cant offer. “Relationships with pets are different to those with humans,” Young says. “Animals dont judge and are always with us.”8. About what did some participants hold different opinions?A. What pets were better at providing comfort.B. Whether pets could make them feel relaxed.C. How they felt when their pets touched them.D. When pets could notice their owners discomfort.9. What did Janette Young find about the pet-human relationship?A. It is full of judgments.B. It turns out temporary.C. It benefits both parties.D. It is determined by pets.10. What may researchers suggest hospitals do?A. Encourage pet connection programs.B. Raise pets to reduce human touch.C. Select out the best pet companions.D. Order workers friends to pay visits.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Humans need spiritual support.B. Pet-human interactions are common.C. Lonely people like living with pets.D. Pets offer humans touch-based comfort.DMental health and happiness are important to student success in higher education but rarely get the attention they need. Colleges and universities in the United States have been seeing increases in mental illness among students for decades. Promoting student mental health and emotional happiness on campus requires more than a well-functioning counseling center. It calls for a campus-wide commitment action plan. American undergraduate students have been reporting increasing rates of anxiety, depression and substance use for decades. In the 20182019 Healthy Minds Study(HMS) survey, 40% of about 300,000 students at some 300 colleges and universities reported experiencing a mental health problem, and 60% said they were having difficulty accessing mental health care on campus or in the community. Other studies estimate that the dropout rate for U.S. undergraduate students with mental health problems is over 40%, and that the popularity of mental health problems among graduate students is six times that of the general population. Most academic institutions provide some mental health services, often through a counseling center. But no matter how good that center is, it alone cannot solve the problems. An important early step is for each institution to assess the extent of the crisis on its campus and whether there are enough treatment services either at the institution or in the local community. Another important question is whether there are elements of the institutions own environment or culture that contribute to the problems that students are experiencing, like unreasonable workloads or deadlines for assignments. Every college and university should carry out a comprehensive action plan to achieve this goal. This may require additional resources during a trying time for institutional budgets. But supporting the whole student is so important that financial priorities should be rearranged.12. What happens to undergraduate students in America?A. They pay little attention to higher education.B. Increasing students suffer from mental illness.C. They are lacking in a sense of happiness.D. They lose confidence in the future careers.13. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Terrible dropout rates.B. Decreasing general population.C. Emotional happiness.D. Mentally healthy problems.14. What is the key solution to fixing the problems?A. Analyzing the present situation.B. Opening more counseling centers.C. Offering free mental health services.D. Reducing unreasonable workloads.15. How can we put a comprehensive action plan into practice?A. By giving some useful advice.B. By offering financial support.C. By turning to the government.D. By getting enough trying time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。What is niksen? In Dutch, “niksen” literally means “ to do nothing”.
