We'd known each other so much and always enjoyed shared time. We happily sang and danced together, had dinner and went to bed together, and discussed the maths problems and recited the poems together.But one small thing couldn't be shared smoothly and thats the trouble with toothpaste.Crest（佳洁士）made us give in and demanded to know what we made of. You see, Mary likes to carefully fold and roll the toothpaste tube. I like to grab it in the middle and squeeze （挤）.I might call her folding a bit too careful. She might consider my squeezing careless and rude. This difference in style may seem mild, but it caused the big trouble in the later days.At first, it was a little joke. I'd squeeze. She'd roll. Ha, ha. I'd squeeze again. She'd roll again. Annoying. I'd squeeze even when I wasn't brushing my teeth. She'd slip in to roll, roll, roll.After slipping and squeezing, tip-toeing and rolling for two weeks, it was unavoidable that we finally met face to face in our tiny pink bathroom with our hands on the toothpaste. We actually yelled at each other. I may have even cried. Why was she so obsessive （过分的）? Why was I so vindictive （报复性的）? Why couldn't she loosen up? Why couldn*t I calm down? Were we still talking about the toothpaste?The toothpaste had become more than something to brush our teeth with; it had become a symbol for aspects of our individual personalities that we did not always care to reveal. Maybe I was being a little vindictive. Maybe she was being a bit obsessive. Maybe it really didn't matter how we dealt with the toothpaste. But maybe it did. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Thankfully, we thought of a solution.Years later, I had new roommates in college.A. Satisfying. B. Discouraging. C. Boring.7.

The decision didn't mean leaving her position, but rather limiting her work to her contract （合约）hours. Nothing more, nothing less. "If I didn't quiet quit my teaching job, I would burn out, n she says. Like Perkins, *'quiet quitters* on TikTok defend their choice to take a step back from work, but company managers and workplace experts argue that although doing less might feel good in the short term, it could harm your career-and your companyin the long run.In the wake of the global pandemic and the Great Resignation, employees began to reimagine what work could look like. Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report in June found job dissatisfaction at an all-time high, with 60%reporting emotional detachment （分离）from work. Disengaged workers cost the global economy an estimated $7. 8 trillion in lost productivity and an economic slowdown.Now, companies have become sensitive to worker burnout. Gergo Vari, CEO of job board platform Lensa, advocates an alternative to quiet quitting: Hloudly persisting”. That is, empowering employees to speak up about how their organization can serve their goals. ''When you loudly persist, you have a sense of belonging to the company, H he says.Career coach Allison Peck says she views nquiet quitting's a symptom of employees not connecting to their work or managers. Her career advice for quiet quitters is to take even braver action. "Finding a new job, team, or company that better suit you can improve your mindset at work, nshe says.Some workers, though, say that companies* concerns about “quiet quittingHare unfounded. Shini Ko, a software developer, has set limits on her hours and now runs a small-scale vegetable farm in her spare time. "Its negative and dangerous that we regard a healthy work-life balance as quitting, 9,says Ko. "Can we just call it what it is? It's just working. n 24. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A. An example of quiet quitters.B. An excuse for quiet quitting.C. The limitation of contract hours.D. The working conditions of teachers.25. What's the consequence of nquiet quitting* according to the report?A. It cost the disengaged workers an estimated $7. 8 trillion.B. It caused the global pandemic and the Great Resignation.C. It held economy back and reduced workers' productivity.D. It resulted in employees1 job dissatisfaction in the long run.26. What can we infer from Gergo Vari's words?A. Companies don't have to worry about worker burnout.B. Companies should persist loudly to serve workers* goals.C. Employees can ask for a short break while feeling worn out.D. Employees can voice their opinions on the company's management.27. What is Shini Ko's attitude towards companies* concerns about "quiet quitting11?A. Unreasonable. B. Unforgivable. C. Unexpected. D. Uncertain.CAs Mark Meekan, a tropical fish biologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Perth, spotted a giant shadowy figure moving in the Indian Ocean, he was diving to take samples of a whale shark*s skin. The sharks, averaging around 12 meters long, spend most of their lives inthe deep ocean where theyare hard to observe, so analyzing the chemical makeup of their tissues can help scientists learn more about their biology and behavior, including what they eat.The skin samples that Meekan collected reveal that whale sharks, long thought to be strict meat eaters, also eat and digest algae （海藻）.The findings add to evidence that whale sharks intentionally eat plants, potentially making them the largest emnivcres on Earth.Although algae has turned up in the stomachs of beached whale sharks before, "everyone thought it was just accidental ingestion （摄取），"Meekan says.To find out if that assumption held up, Meekan's team took tissue samples from 17 whale sharks feeding off the coast of Western Australia from 2015 to 2017. Whale sharks*skin was rich in arachidonic acid （花生四烯酸）that is found in brown algae, the analysis showed.The new work supports previous research by a different group that found algae-related nutrients in the skin of whale sharks near Japan. Together, the findings suggest that digesting greens is common practice for whale sharks.But that doesn*t mean whale sharks are true omnivores, says shark biologist Robert Hueter. "This is a bit like saying that cows are omnivores because they eat insects while feeding on grass.”Meekan admits that he isn't sure whether whale sharks seek out algae, but the amount they eat isn't incidental （附带的）. "Their tissues hold a remarkable record of what they've been up to, n he says. "WeYe now learning how to read this library. nWhy did Mark Meekan take samples of whale sharks*skin?A. To observe the living conditions of sea life.B. To discover the eating habits of whale sharks.C. To explore the biology and behavior of sea life.D. To analyze the function of whale sharks* tissues.28. What can we learn about Mark Meekan's findings?A. It s common for whale sharks to take in algae.B. Ifs the first time to find whale sharks eat greens.C. There is abundant arachidonic acid in brown algae.D. There are algae-related nutrients in whale sharks* skin.29. What does the underlined word ' omnivores'1 in paragraph 3 mean?A. Meat eaters.B
