However, according to an updated warning by the Centers for Disease Control(CDC), doing so could spread dangerous-
9、maybe even life-threatening -Salmonella(沙门菌). So no matter how irresistible those little feathered birds may seem, avoid giving them a kiss.This isnt the first time the CDC has warned against getting your poultry(家禽)fresh. Back in 2018 Halloween, they advised against dressing the birds up for fear o
10、f spreading Salmonella. Then again, in May this year, with 474 cases reported, another warning was issued. According to interviews with 271 of those affected, 77 percent had been in contact with poultry before getting sick.Backyard poultry, like chicken and ducks, can carry Salmonella bacteria even
11、if they look healthy and clean, writes the CDC. These bacteria can easily spread to anything in the areas where the poultry live. You can get sick from touching your poultry or anything in their environment and then touching your mouth or food, and swallowing Salmonella bacteria.Most people who come
12、 into contact with the Salmonella bacteria will experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Children are particularly affected-one in three sick people are below the age of five-intelligible given their weaker immune(免疫)systems and natural love for the birds.The CDC recommends that parents shoul
13、dnt let little children touch chicks, ducks, or other backyard poultry and make sure that if they do, they should wash their hands thoroughly afterward. Likewise, adults are instructed to do the same after touching backyard poultry and their eggs should be cleaned, stored, and cooked correctly to av
14、oid the infection of Salmonella.This might be easier said than done-for many people, backyard chickens are beloved-but if you really love them, stop physical displays of affection in case you wind up with eggs on your face. It turns out to be a bit of harm.4. Why does CDC repeatedly warn people not

17、f the passage.（3）Recently I read an article written by Edan Lepucki and titled Dont Play With Your Kids. Seriously. It makes a case for parents consciously withdrawing from their children s playtime until those children are able to play independently all the time.According to Edan Lepucki, there are
18、 two main reasons. One is that it allows the child time and space to delve into wonderful imaginary worlds that he or she is not able to enter in quite the same way if a parent is present.The second reason is that it gives parents a break. With everything else we do on a daily basis-feeding, cleanin
19、g, disciplining, educating, transporting, and more-its simply too much to be expected to entertain our kids actively, as well. Lepucki describes a sense of exhaustion to which I can relate.The constant quarrelling was so exhausting that my husband and I didnt have the energy to play the way my son p
20、referred. After 1 scolded him, I felt guilty and frustratedAdopting a no-play approach changed everything, improving both the relationship with her son and her own mental wellbeing, and it has done the same for me, with my own three children.I have another reason for choosing this approach: It build
21、s greater independence in children. Children play differently when adults are present. They tend to rely on adults to solve conflicts，whereas when theyre on their own, they have no choice but to rise to the occasion and deal with any issue.Lenore Skenazy, the author of Free Range Kids, told me that
22、when adults are present, kids act like kids, but when adults leave, kids become adults. She said, If theres an adult there, they will take over. So adults need to step back.Take this as your excuse to stop playing with your kids. Know that it s perfectly OK to say no, to admit you need a break, and
23、to encourage your children to play without you. Then sit back and observe the clever, imaginative little humans youve created at play. Its a most satisfying feeling.8. What does the underlined part delve into in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Develop. B. Change. C. Explore. D. Preserve.9. How does Lep
24、ucki benefit from her parenting style?A. Her relaxing time is increased. B. She becomes more independent.C. She makes more adult friends. D. Her physical health has improved.10. Why is Lenore Skenazy mentioned?A. To prove kids poor independence. B. To provide evidence for an opinion.C. To show kids
25、changeable character. D. To explain parents bad effect on kids.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. It Provides Us with Many Benefits to Play AloneB. Parents Should Help Develop Kids IndependenceC. Refusal Can Create a Harmonious Family AtmosphereD. It Wont Hurt Your Kids If You Stop Play
26、ing with Them （4）Weve all been thereaccidently distanced a new co-worker with a bad joke, or failed to impress the new boss with our first task. You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic
27、characteristics. However, its not impossible to change how others view you.Your co-workers may have built up a certain impression of youthat youre not leadership material because youre too quiet, for example. You cant expect to overturn that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unex
28、pected. If youve made them think youre quiet and never speak up, it wont be enough to talk once in a meeting. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then youre on the way to beginning to change their views. My first i
29、mpression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock climbing gyman activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner.
30、 His great skills showed me a different side to his abilities.Sometimes the bad impression your co-workers may have formed has nothing to do with you. Ten years ago, I met a woman at a meeting. Today, were close friends. But, she said that she hadnt liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too posit
31、ive”and therefore somewhat fake. It was only after knowing me for years that she realized that was in fact how I was. If youre patient and continue to act in ways youre proud of, most people will finally come around.Its unfair when we feel misunderstood. But while first impressions are likely to sti
32、ck, they canwith time and effortbe changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated.12. What does the underlined phrase “off your game” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Beaten in a sport.B. Lost in your computer game. C. Unwilling to accept a new friend.D. Unable to work as well as usua
33、l.13. How can we change others impressions of us according to paragraph 2? A. By surprising them.B. By keeping quiet. C. By questioning them.D. By organizing meetings.14. Why did Matthew ask the author to go rock climbing with him? A. To explore new job chances. B. To show off his climbing skills. C
34、. To get the author to know him better. D. To push the author to exercise more.15. What did the woman think of the author at first?A. Brave.B. Insincere.C. Friendly.D. Impatient.Part BWhen youve lost something, youll feel upset and fear that you will never find the lost object. Actually,if you think
35、 about it for a moment, youll find it soon. 16 This wont help you find the lost object but it helps you calm down. Only when you regain your calm can you focus on finding the object again. Often when weve lost something, especially if its an important object like a set of keys or a passport, we get
36、worried. 17 Have you lent the object out?Of course, this is unlikely to be the case with keys or other ID stuff. But it can easily be the case with books, magazines, DVDS, etc. If there is a chance that you have lent an object to someone else, then send a quick email or text message out to the likel
37、y people. 18 Make the message more along the lines that youre worried because of this particular object.Slow down.The more important the object is, the more we are likely to run around like a headless chicken with the mistaken idea that our rush will speed up finding the object. 19 Slowing down will
38、 give you a chance to think back to the last time and place you saw the missing object. This may give you a clue or two as to where the object is.Get help from others.Getting the help of someone else anyone who knows what the object looks like will do fine. 20 Also, this gives an extra thought patte
39、rn to the search. In fact, It may be the best way to find lost objects fast.A. Take a long deep breath.B. Try your best to calm down.C. You can even turn to those you dont know at all.D. In fact, its almost always a case of more hurry, less speed.E. These long deep breaths will help you to regain your calm.F. This doubles the number of people looking for the lost object.G. However, make sure that the message doesnt accuse others of taking the object in question. 1-2: ADB 4-7: D A A D 8-1 : C A B D 12-15: D A C B 16-20: AEGDF
