12.The next time you go grocery shopping,try speaking to other customers.One summer day,I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries.
I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store,and not just for the amazing colors provided by summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries.It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce.
The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes---along with a woman in her late 70s.Despite the fact that we were strangers,we began to discuss apples.She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies."They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree,"she said,twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.
I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing.I surely do.I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree.This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering such topics as nutrition,new foods and the quality of produce.
By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation.The three of us continued along,unexpected friends,chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family.
Eventually we all went our separate ways,but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say,"I finally caught up with you."It was the first woman I'd talked to,extending a bag of apricots(杏) to me."I don't know if your family will eat these,"she added,"but they have a super deal on them."
Again I was brought back to my childhood,when I also ate apricots straight from the tree.My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.
The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce.With that offering came a sense of community,a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger.She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree--and a feeling that somehow those apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.

28.One reason the author likes fresh produce in grocery shop is thatA.
A.she enjoys observing people selecting fresh produce
B.she likes watching people tasting fresh produce
C.she produces fresh produce herself
D.she sells fresh produce herself
29.What might be the problem with the Pink Ladies noted by the old lady?C
A.Their price was too high.B.Their color was too green.
C.Their taste was too sour.D.Their size was too small.
30.Why did the old lady bring a bag of apricots to the author?A
A.She found the apricots were on sale in the shop.
B.She learned that the author wanted to buy apricots.
C.She wanted to send the apricots as a gift to the author.
D.She knew that the author's family liked eating apricots.
31.According to the author,what is the extra value of grocery shopping?D
A.It adds flavor and color to her boring daily life.
B.It helps her to see the importance of family life.
C.It gives her a chance to learn about nutrition knowledge.
D.It brings her unexpected friendship and sweet memories.

分析 文章讲述我比较喜欢去杂货店,在这里不仅可以买到新鲜的产品还可以收获意料之外的一些邻里之间的情谊.

解答 ACAD

30.A 细节题.根据."I don't know if your family will eat these,"she added,"but they have a super deal on them."得知,老太太告诉我说这些杏子正在促销打折,故选A.
31.D 推理题.在文章最后一段,特别是一些关键词,如:a sense of community、memories of summer fruits 等,可以看出作者喜欢去杂货店可以获得额外的一些和邻居之间的友谊,以及一些美好的回忆,故选D.

6.Dennis Sinar,51,a doctor from New York,is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job."I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26years.I needed a recharge."So he took a"gap year",from July 2011to June 2012,to explore things like ancient buildings,and traditional Eastern medicine,in locations including Alaska,Nepal and Romania.
"Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,"said Holly Bull,president of Princeton,N,J."In recent years,mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,"she said.A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years as a"sleeping giant."
"A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk.I enjoyed that side most."said Dr.Sinar,who kept a daily blog about his experience.His time studying Eastern medicine"assured the reasons I went into health care,"said Dr.Sinar,who returned to practice medicine at his old job,although he works fewer days."I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,"he added."And I listen better than I did before."
George Garritan,chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University,certainly agrees with Dr.Sinar.He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies.For employees,investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career.He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career.For companies,offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.
21.Dr.Sinar took a gap year because heB.
A.had lost his old job
B.wanted to refresh after 26years'work

A.it's too early for people to accept the concept of gap year
B.the effect of gap year policy remains to be seen
C.it's difficult to foresee the gap year market
D.more American people will accept the gap year policy
23.What's George Garritan's attitude toward the"gap year"?A
A.Positive.
B.Doubtful
C.Uninterested.
D.Uncertain.
24.What's the passage mainly about?B
A.How an adult plans a mid-career gap year.
B.Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.
C.Whether a gap year is popular with adults.
D.Why a gap year is challenging for individuals.
