From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, ‘I don’t need math. I will never use it. I’m an artist,’ and guess what, it’s the most important thing that I use, ‘‘Hartman said. “If I don’t get that right, then the windows don’t fit, the pieces don’t come together and it just doesn’t work out.”The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn’t always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it’s fun to hear people’s reactions as they go thr ough the holiday window stroll.“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people’s holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face,” Hartman said.24. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragra ph 2?A. Serious.B. Exciting.C. Unusual.D. Ordinary.25. What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays?A. The pattern.B. The fit.C. The colour.D. The teamwork.26. What does Hartman think about math now?A. She values it very much.B. She still thinks it’s useless.C. It is a piece of cake for her.D. It’s not suitable for her to learn.27. Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman?A. It just can make her happy.B. She has a chance to create by hand.C. It can help improve her other artworks.D. She can get some remarks from the viewers.CDuring the holiday season, many of us feel pressure to find our loved ones the “perfect” gift. Why? Because gift-giving has long been considered a prime way to express love. However, recent research suggests that small acts of kindness, like a kind word, hugging a child or receiving sympathy, make people feel most loved and supported.In the study, 495 men and women between the ages of 18 and 93 completed a questionnaire evaluating 60 possible ways that people can feel love. The storyboards included situations like spending time with friends, receiving gifts, and spending time in nature. The survey also included negative interactions, like being controlled and criticized (批评) by others.The findings highlight the psychological benefits that close relationships can offer. In fact, study participants ranked human interaction as a more significant expression of love than receiving material items, like presents. Connecting with others was also rated more highly than getting positive feedback on the Internet, indicating that people get the most support from personal human contact.“ During the holidays，anxiety rises, making it harder to remain present with ourselves and others. However, the power of spending time with another person is a gift we can give at any moment,” says Dr. Carla Naumburg, a mindfulness coach and social worker in Newton, Mass. He suggests balancing party planning and online shopping with moments of human connection. Activities like reading to a child, meeting a friend for a walk, or taking a moment to call a family member, are ways to express love and care and can keep us emotionally grounded.While the idea of offering loved ones the gift of our time may pale in comparison to giving them a generous present, recent research shows shared human experiences can tighten social bonds. Despite personality differences，most people agree on what makes us feel loved—the presence of our loved ones.28. What does the text mainly focus on?A. Gift and holiday economy.B. Social and personal relationships.A. Stress and human progress. D. Selfish and generous love.29. What can we know about the questionaire?A. About 500 men participated in it.B. Participants disliked negative interactions.C. A wide range of age groups got involved.D. Participants had limited ways to feel love.30. What does Dr. Carla Naumburg intend to tell us?A. People often find it difficult to stay with others.B. Face to face connection is a gift to show love.C. Reading to a child is the best way to convey love and care.D. Balancing holiday activities with relaxation is recommended.31. What might be the best title of the text?A. Gift-giving is already out of date.B. Social interaction lights up your holidays.C. It is not presents but presence that counts.D. Stress causes people to withdraw from others.DThink twice the next time you decide to copy your boss in an email. That simple little “CC” box (抄送框) could send a message that ruins your relationship with the other receivers.A study in Harvard Business Review asked working adults to imagine that their coworker always, sometimes, or rarely CC’ed their boss in emails. The study results show that em ployees felt less trusted when their coworker “always’’copied the boss than when they ‘‘sometimes” or “almost never”did. The results of the survey aren’t surprising, says career expert Bruce Tulgan. Sometimes the boss really does need to stay in the loop (在圈内) with an email chain. But most times, employees are purposely sending the message that they don’t think the receiver follow through with what they’re asking unless the boss gets involved, says Tulgan. “That is an expression of lack of trust,’’ he says.Breaking down that trust level in your office can have serious consequences. Like in any relationship, coworkers need trust to keep things running smoothly. “When people have trust, there is a much higher level of wanting to deliver for each other,”says Tulgan. “When people have enthusiasm, they try harder.” That means more willingness to take risks and make decisions, he says. Even if you don’t trust your coworker to follow through for you, copying the boss in an email is not the best strategy, says career expert Todd Dewett, PhD. “CC’ing is the adult version of being a tattletale (告密者),”he says. “It tells your colleague you didn’t agree without telling it to their face, and you want your boss to know without talking about it.”As a rule of thumb, only about 20 percent of what you do in the office is truly urgent, and those are the only times you should consider getting your boss involved in, says Tulgan. “The most important people, the most important project, key relationship,”she says. “That’s when yo u might consider the occasional use of CC.”32. Why could CC’ing ruin your relationship with your coworkers?A. It makes the boss join the loop.B. Your coworkers would try harder.C. It makes the boss satisfied with you.D. Your coworkers would feel less trusted.33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. When we can copy the boss in an email.B. How lack of trust can lead to bad results.C. Why trust keeps people working smoothly.D. What can be done to avoid CC’ing the boss.34. What does the underl ined phrase “As a rule of thumb” in the last paragraph mean?A. Needless to say.B. Generally speaking.C. In conclusion.D. In turn.35. What is Bruce Tulgan’s advice on the use of CC?A. Consider the use of CC accordingly.B. CC after negotiating with coworkers.C. It is wise for you to always copy the boss.D. You’d better never copy your boss in an email.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。
