But its not because he wants to make as much money as possibleits because thats the day he has set aside to give free haircuts to children with special needs.He began his Gifted Program haircuts in 2021 after hearing many horror stories that parents were going through with. Barbers had no patience with those children. Studies have shown people typically feel more confident and in control in both social as well as professional settings with good, fresh haircuts. So Jackson resolved to open his shop on his day off only to children with special needs who were looking to get a proper cut.“I can give them the full attention they need,” Jackson said in the CBS News. He found that at least some of his off-day clients who were sensitive to unfamiliar environments and sounds found the empty shop comforting. His goal is to get the children used to barbershops in general so they can eventually feel comfortable going in for haircuts when there are other customers around.Instagram users flood Jacksons account on the platform with encouragement. “I have happy tears,” one user wrote in the comments of a video that Jackson posted showing him lining a Gifted Program boy up for a haircut. “You are truly doing amazing things.”Friends and supporters sponsor the haircuts through donations to an online GoFundMe campaign, according to what Jackson told CBS. He hopes to eventually raise enough money for the program to be able to travel to other parts of the US to give haircuts to children with special needs there. “Its really been a beautiful experience,” Jackson said of starting the Gifted Program. “This has allowed me to love it to my fullest capacity and to see what happens when I do.”4. Why did Jackson decide to start the Gifted Program?A. To make as much money as possible.B. To show barbers patience and sympathy.C. To help parents with horrible experiences.D. To reach out to children with special needs.5. What does Jackson expect of the children through the Gifted Program?A. Love for fresh haircuts.B. Attention to other customers.C. Healthy adaptation to surroundings.D. Courage to have haircuts alone.6. What is online users attitude to the Gifted Program?A. Objective.B. Concerned.C. Favorable.D. Confused.7. What can we learn about Jackson from the last paragraph?A. He donates to an online organization.B. He is highly ambitious for his program.C. He has made a big difference to American kids.D. He has regained faith in life by giving free haircuts.CWorking from home has become common, during the course of the pandemic(疫情), leaving many with a newfound appreciation of the freedom and flexibility of working remotely. However, while the traditional idea of an officea place away from home, typically owned or rented by the businessmay have changed, the need for specific office space hasnt.In fact, this period of working from home has highlighted just how important it is to have a place of work, which is separate from daily family life. Without that, many have noted concerns over a worsened work-life balance.Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the office of the future will be its hybrid solution. It should marry the beneficial parts of a physical company-owned workspace with the benefits of working from home.As teams have proven their ability to efficiently get their jobs done remotely, employers will be much more open to the flexible approach moving forward. The positive impacts of a physical office on things like company culture, communication, team spirit and shared knowledge should not be ignored, which is why tangible space is still very much a necessity.The solution for the future will enable employees to come into the companys workplace in order not to miss out on these valuable office benefits, but also work from home when required for a better work-life balance. Both large and smaller companies have already started to adopt this new approach, allowing teams to create schedules for when they will be working from home, or even use an online booking system to secure a desk space in the shared facility. This way, the company can manage the number of people in the office at one time, meaning spaces can be downsized to save costs, and social distancing and thorough cleaning procedures can be maintained.8. What is the potential problem with working from home?A. Imbalance between work and life.B. Change of the idea of an office.C. Lack of working space at home.D. Too much freedom in remote work.9. What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Empty.B. Separate.C. Physical.D. Flexible.10. What can be inferred about the new office style from paragraph 5?A. It is well received by companies.B. It limits the number of employees.C. It makes thorough cleaning unnecessary.D. It is helpful for workers to design schedules.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Social Distance: A Pressing NeedB. Working Remotely: A Growing TrendC. Traditional Office: To Leave or to StayD. Hybrid Workplace: Office of the FutureDYou probably get your eyes tested to protect your sight, maybe have a yearly hearing test to check your earsbut, protecting your nose. eh? Recent research has discovered more than 600 genes in the human body associated with the sense of smell and that its actually important to the human body.Smell can help keep us alive by warning us of dangers such as food that might make us sick or the threat of fire, and it does this within only 100-150 milliseconds of breathing. “Smell also helps create the flavour of food and plays a role in controlling the variety of our diet and the nutrients we consume,” says Jeanne Hort, a professor at News Zealands Massey University.In fact, each of us has a unique sense of smell and the strength of our unique smell is related to the genes you inherit (遗传) from your parents which determine which smell receptors (感受器) are expressed in the nose. Other factors further determine how sensitive your sense of smell is. Women generally have a stronger sense of smell than men, while damage from air pollution means people who live in highly polluted cities have a less sensitive sense of smell than those in rural areas. “We also know the sense of smell declines with age,” says Professor Hort. “And if youve damaged your nose through head injury, illness or breathing in something that causes pain and discomfort, your sense of smell can also be negatively affected.”Protecting your nose from such damage is therefore the first step in activating your sense of smell. Avoid breathing in strong scents like chemicals. Then, keep your nose busy. For example, sniff (唉) vegetables and fruit as part of determining ripeness before you buy them and sniff more different smells exposed to your nose. “The sense of smell is a bit like a muscle, you can train it to become stronger by exercising it,” says sensory expert Eugeni Roura.12. Why does the author mention eye and ear protection in paragraph 1?A. To compare different human senses.B. To call attention to the sense of smell.C To clarify the concept of good health.D. To show the importance of medical exams.13 What does paragraph 2 focus on?A. The advice on healthy eating.B. The basic functions of the nose.C. The important role of smell in life.D. The ways to avoid hidden dangers.14. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. There is sex difference in terms of smell.B. The sense of smell doesnt change with age.C. Smell receptors decide the strength of smell.D. Air pollution is very likely to cause loss of smell.15. What does the quote from Eugeni Roura imply?A. It is essential to protect your nose from damage.B. Different parts of your body sometimes work the same.C. Sniffing different smells helps to build up your strength.D. The more you use the sense of smell, the more you sharpen it.第二节(共5小题;每小题2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。The US Surgeon General released a report on Tuesday calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness and lack of connection in the United States._16_It highlights that a lack of social connection can present significant health risks, as loneliness can increase risk of premature death by 26% and social isolation(孤立)by 29%.
