food traditions?Read through the foods below to figure out the best New Years Eve foods.Greens Greens are a late crop mostly grown in the south,so theyre easy to find in the colder months.They are go-to New Years Eve foods because they look like money.Cornbread Mix and match a few different New Years Eve food traditions with black-eyed peas,greens,and cornbread to make a fortune.As the Southern saying goes,“peas for pennies,greens for dollars,and cornbread for gold.”Soba In Japan,soba is the traditional New Years food of choice.The length of the soba noodles is said to symbolize a long life.Part of the tradition is eating the whole noodle since the luck runs out if you break or chew the noodle.Grapes Make sure to add grapes to your New Years food.On New Years Eve,the Spanish eats a grape for each strike of midnight,with each representing a page of the calendar ahead.If one is bitter,watch out for that month!Pork Pigs are a lucky New Year5s Eve food because they move forward when they eat.They are also rotund（圆胖的）,symbolizing a fat wallet ahead.And the meat itself is fattier than other cuts of meat,making this New Years Eve food both tasty and a symbol of richness.Cake Ring-shaped cakes are a symbol of coming full circle,making them a perfect New Years food.This tradition roots in the Greeks who make a traditional Vasilopita with a hidden coin baked inside.If you get the piece with the coin,youll have good luck for a year.Fish Fish are believed to be a lucky New Years Eve food because their scales look like coins,and they swim in groups,which relates to the idea of abundance.Plus,fish swim forward,which represents progress.So,try some of these dishes for your next New Years Eve party to bring luck to all your guests and yourself.31.Which of the New Years Eve foods has nothing to do with wealth?A.Fish.B.Grapes.C.Pork.D.Cornbread.32.Japanese consider the length of soba noodles as a symbol of .A.richness B.progress C.a long life D.coming full circle 33.In Greek,if one gets a piece of cake with a coin hidden inside,for a year,he or she will be .A.rich B.fortunate C.healthy D.fulfilling B In Return Recently,as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team,I started to feel sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity（不幸）on the court and he was playing in a bad environment it was the opponents home gym filled with their supporters,and Nathans team was left behind for three quarters of the game.As for me,I had been fired earlier in the day.A career position I held for 14 years was the victim of corporate restructuring（公司重组）.I was prepared for it as I had experienced the same thing 14 years earlier,but,just like a punch in the mouth,the blow is never softened because you were expecting it.As I watched the adversity on the court that my son was experiencing,I recalled my earlier events,packing up everything in a box and waving goodbye to a great group of colleagues with whom Id had the pleasure of working.Driving home,I kept telling myself,“I will find work again in a short time一 I am confident in my experience and abilities.It was a belief I repeated to myself during a trying day and it was the same one that I tried to teach my son.The basketball game entered the fourth quarter.I saw the focus and determination on his face.There was no room for self-doubt.He fought back to go ahead by three points.After he made the basket,his team was able to hang on and stop the other team from scoring,and won the game.Nathans joy on his face,the cheering from the crowd,the silence on the other side of the gymit was a moment that would make any parent proud.As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride,it dawned（领悟）on me that I had taught him determination in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.34.What happened to the author 14 years earlier?A.He lost his job.B.He quitted his job.C.He worked in a bad environment.D.He was prepared for a career position.35.In face of adversity,the author had taught his son the following beliefs EXCEPT_.A.confidence B.focus C.self-doubt D.determination 36.What is the authors purpose of writing paragraph 3?A.To criticize the unfriendly gym.B.To encourage himself to be confident.C.To amuse the readers with a funny sport event.D.To acknowledge Nathans focus and determination.37.What can we learn from this story?A.Success means getting personal desires satisfied.B.Little man can make a big difference.C.Fame is a great thirst of the young.D.You harvest what you sow.C On a windy day in early March,Fabiano Caruana decides to get away.He drives three hours west from his St.Louis apartment to a 2,000-acre field in the countryside of Missouri owned by a friend.At 7：30 the next morning,he heads out for an hour-long run with his training partner,Cristian Chirila.As hes jogging,ifs easy to mistake him for a soccer player.He has a packed schedule for the day:a five-mile run,an hour of tennis,half an hour of basket ball,and an hour of swimming.But Caruana is,in fact,an American grandmaster in chess,the number two player in the world.His training partner,Chirila?A Romanian grandmaster.And theyre doing it all to prepare for the physical demands of.chess?Yes,chess.It seems to make no sense.How could two humans一 seated for hours,with no greater manner than off and on extending their arms a foot at a time face physical demands?In October 2018,Polar,a U.S.based company that tracks heart rates,monitored chess players during a tournament and found that 21-year-old Russian grandmaster Mikhail Antipov had burned 560 calories in two hours roughly what Roger Federer bums in an hour of tennis.Grandmasters in competition are subjected to constant stress.That causes their heart and breathing rates to increase,which forces their bodies to produce energy.Meanwhile,players eat less during tournaments,simply because they dont have the time or the appetite.Stress also leads to disturbed sleep patterns,which in turn cause more tiredness and can lead to more weight loss.A brain operating on less sleep,even just one hour,requires more energy to stay awake during the chess game.It all combines to produce an average weight loss of 2 pounds a day,or about 10 to 12 pounds over the course of a ten-day tournament.To fight against the stress,some players have begun to adopt strict food and fitness methods to increase oxygen supply to the brain during tournaments,prevent sugar-related crashes,and sustain their energy.Physical fitness and brain performance are tied together,M Ashley says,a grandmaster and commentator（解说员）.So back in Missouri,Caruana and Chirila hole up in the dining room for six hours of chess.Afterward,Caruana looks tired.Still,he grabs a handful of nuts and heads out for a final hour of tennis before dinner.After dinner,he passes on the chocolate pudding pie.No dessert for me today,Mhe says.Last year,Caruana gave up alcohol before the world championship.This time,he has chosen sugar.In his mind,Caruana knows what he has to do:he just needs his body to hold up.38.What do we know about chess players?A.They eat dessert for energy during the competition.B.They all have physical training during the tournament.C.Disturbed sleep patterns are common among chess players.D.Playing chess is physically demanding for chess players.39.Which of the following words can best describe Fabiano Caruana?A.Clever and strong.B.Humorous and knowledgeable.C.Determined and ambitious.D.Straight and honest.40.Which is NOT a reason for the weight loss of chess players during a tournament?A.Having little appetite.B.B.Giving up alcohol.C.Sleeping worse.D.Competing under pressure.41.What is the best title for the passage?A.Train Like a Master B.A Day with a Packed Schedule C.Physical Training Your Choice D.Get Tied Together D Do You Have Enough Time?Experiences are more likely than material goods to deliver happiness.But the fear of choosing to pursue the wrong experience,and therefore wasting valuable time,is something many of us feel deeply.Theres something funny to thiswe have more free time now,but for a number of reasons,it doesnt feel that way.In his book Spending Time,Daniel Hamermesh explains that while our lifetimes have gotten a bit longer13%since 1960our spending power has increased by 198%.“It makes it difficult to stuff all the things that we want and can now afford into our limited available time to purchase and to enjoy them over our lifetimes,he writes.Next,theres our cell-phone addiction.American adults spend around 3.5 hours on their devices each day,trying to keep up with the emails,social media updates and 24/7 news.And much of our time is ucontaminated time”一 when we?re doing one thing but thinking about something else.It makes us think were being productive,but really it just makes us feel more worn out.Add to this the ever expanding options in todays experience economy.Think of all the pop-ups,plays,workshops and escape rooms you could go to tonight.No wonder many of us suffer from what psychologists call time famine.No wonder were seeing books about attaining more of our time and letting go of cell phones,like Jenny Odell s How to Do Nothing.Thereve been calls to control the attention economy,but the factors that make us feel time-poor arent going away anytime soon.Tech companies,for instance,may have built apps to tell you how much time you spend on your device,but their business models rely on your continued use.As for me,I have characterized experiences as rubbish food or superfood”.Rubbish?Spending too much time indoors on Facebook or TV,alone.Superfood?Getting offline and outside and doing things for or with others and staying active.These experiences require that we actually take time offnot easy in a culture attaching so much importance to productivity.But researchers say sometimes its about changing our thoughts of leisure activities.Harvards Anat Kein
