from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee.So why would I standtraffic,cold weather and crowds for a few bargains?For my teenagers,spending time with Mom is usually down on their list next to homework and picking upthe dog waste.So,when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday,my firstreaction was definitely no!But my son,who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping,wanted me to takehim shopping.I felt needed,though I knew it was my wallet and a ride,not quality(高质量的)time with Momthat they wanted.Then the hour-long car ride.We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get.Ihad opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving,but I had to keep the peace.And we allconnected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.The kids scanned for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot.There was something aboutstanding in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together.Once inside,wehad to work as a team,hoping to come together with just the right size and color.As I dug through mountain s ofclothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up,my daughter came toward me,shirt in hand and victoryon her face.“I got the last one!”So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains.Nothing we couldnt have found online or in stores at areasonable hour.But for me,I got quality time with my kids.Driving home tired,looking in the mirror at mychildrens sweet faces,I decided,“If they ask me to go again next year,Im in.”24.What did the kids need

in2023,the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan.Canadaswildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.Except some days of poor air quality,major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires.The fires are inthe countrys northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.In a recent report by Destination Canada,a marketing organization,half of the total spent by internationalvisitors is in Vancouver,Toronto and Montreal.But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have beenaffected by the wildfires.In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires,some businesses are thinking aboutchanging their operations,which see outdoor recreation(娱乐)as a tourism opportunity.A nonprofit travel agencyis considering creating a questionnaire(调查问卷)for customers to show when they would cancel a bookingbecause of road closes from the wildfires,poor air quality and a lack of visibility.Tourism in British Columbia contributes(贡献)greatly to its economy.The province has various recreationalofferings,from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast.Blackcomb,a helicopter tour company,hascanceled its sightseeing offerings,using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least earlyAugust.“Its the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,”said Jordy Norris,the companys tourism director.“We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”Darrin Rigo,a photographer,recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page.“Im sure thats

can be the best title for the text?A.Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the WildfireB.All of Canada Have Acted to Beat WildfireC.Most of Canada IsAffected by the WildfireD.Wildfire Wont Stop Canadas Tourism DevelopmentDFor those who believe that remote(远程的)work is more productive than in the office,research shows thatoffices remain important.A paper found a 4%drop in the number of calls handled per hour by employees of anonline business that had changed from offices to homes.Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote,the quality of their interactions suffered.They put customers on hold for longer.More also phoned back,anindication of unsolved problems.Those working at home were 18%less productive than their peers in the office.Another study determinedthat even chess professionals play less well in online matches than face-to-face.Yet another used a laboratoryexperiment to show that video conferences affect creative thinking.The reasons for the findings wont surprise anyone who has worked from a dining-room table.It is harder forpeople to collaborate from home.Workers spoke of missing their“neighbours”to turn to for assistance.Some ofthe co-ordination(协调)costs of remote work might reasonably be expected to fall as people get used to it.Butanother cost may rise over time:the underdevelopment of human capital.In a study of software engineers,researchers found that feedback exchanged between colleagues dropped sharply after the move to remote work.There is more to work than productivity.Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happieremployees.People can more easily fit in school pickups and doctor appointments,not to mention the occasionallie-in or mid-morning jog.And some tasks can often be done more smoothly from home than in open offices,especially those requiring unbroken concentration for long periods.All this explains why so many workers havebecome so office-shy.Indeed,several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working fromhome.Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay might be a good deal for corporate managers.Nevertheless,the balance of the work week is likely to be back to the office,because better productivity lies inthat direction.32.What did a paper find about the online business?A.Employees are kept at work longer.B.Employees have quality interactions.C.Work productivity doesnt improve.D.Most hard problems are solved.33.What did some remote workers miss about office work?A.They can ask colleagues for help.B.They can discuss things at dinner.C.They have no co-ordination cost.D.They have high spirits in the office.34.What do we learn about remote work from the last paragraph?A.It helps workers to fit in with society.B.It represents the workplace situation.C.It results in employeesbetter productivity.D.It may come with pay cuts for employees.35.In which part of a newspaper can the text most likely be found?A.Technology.B.Life.C.Education.D.Environment.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。On Monday,2023,people across Kenya took part in the countrys first national
