I have learned something about myself from it. I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s milder winters, Iwillingly bear the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate, too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?24. What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?A. Winters in Florida are milder.B. The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.C. Weather in Florida is severer.D. Florida is nearer to the ocean.22. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Coincidence.B. Expectation.C. Unwillingness.D. Motivation.23. Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Homesick and easy-going.B. Hard-working and serious.C. Imaginative and outspoken,D. Anxious and painful.24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To describe his dream to be a free bird.B. To express his feeling of missing his hometown.C. To praise the beauty and warmth of his family life.D. To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.CThe typical British employees can expect to spend about £34,000 during their whole working life on the daily costs of being in the office, including tea runs and leaving gifts for colleagues, according to research.A survey of 2,000 office workers across the UK found that the combined cost of Christmas parties and dinners, cards and presents, coffees and teas, sponsorship (赞助) requests, Secret Santa and etc. totaled about £850 a year. Over the course of a 40-year career, that would amount to about £34,000, according to Nationwide Current Account, which carried out the survey.Men generally tend to be unhappier than women about spending money at work, but women are more likely to feel stressed into paying out for work-related items. 42% of men were unhappy about spending money at work Christmas parties, compared with 34% of women. But one in five women said they felt under pressure to spend money at work Christmas parties, compared with just 12% of men.Overall, more than a quarter of people surveyed said they felt pressured when it came to contributing towards birthday and leaving gifts, with 27% of people saying this about gifts for colleagues who were leaving.Nearly 32% said they felt pressured into contributing money to help their colleagues’ charity fund raising efforts.Alan Oliver, Nationwide’s head of external affairs, said, “Working in an office can be an expensive business, especially in big teams. Too many birthdays, retirements and charity fundraisers can take their toll on our wallets and purses. We would recommend putting in only what you can afford. Developing a regular savings habit can also help in meeting many of future life’s financial challenges.”25. If a British man works for 30 years, the daily office costs are totally about .A. £25,500B. £34,000C. £20,000D.£40,00026. Compared with men, women’s reaction to spending money at work Christm as parties is .A. more satisfiedB. unhappierC. less concernedD. more stressed27. What does Alan Oliver advise office workers to do?A. Work in big teams.B. Save money for future use.C. Get along well with colleagues.D. Raise enough money to do charity.28. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Management of Personal FinanceB. Relations Among the UK Office WorkersC. Levels of Happiness of the UK Office WorkersD. The Daily Cost of the UK Employees in an OfficeDMissing out on deep sleep can leave you feeling slow-acting and sensitive in the morning, but the consequences don’t necessarily end there. Over time, too little deep sleep may also do harm to your heart by contributing to high blood pressure, a new study suggests.Healthy young and middle-aged adults spend about 25 percent of their sleeping hours in the stages known as deep sleep. This sleep stage has been shown to be important for memory and other mental performance. The new study adds to the growing evidence that deep sleep is also essential to our metabolism (新陈代谢) and heart health.The research should be considered “exploratory”, and it doesn’t prove a direct link between sleep patterns and high blood pressure. But it suggests that “an important aspect of successful aging is the preservation of good sleep qual ity”. Older people tend to get less deep sleep as they age, and fighting this natural decline—through healthy sleep habits, for example—could be an “extraordinarily important strategy” for heading off high blood pressure.Sleep problems have been linked to high blood pressure before. Sleep apnoea, a disorder in which a person wakes up struggling for breath time and time again, is strongly linked to highblood pressure, though it’s not clear whether the disorder causes high blood pressure.Susan Redline, a professor of sleep medicine, says going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, especially keeping away from alcohol and tobacco before going to bed, and other good “sleep hygiene (卫生)” can help people sleep longer.However, the researchers followed the men’s sleep only on a single night, and they likewise measured blood pressure just once or twice. Therefore, the study failed to rule out factors besides sleep quality, such as diet or medical conditions, which may independently contribute to high blood pressure. More research will be needed to address these shortcomings, the study notes. Nor is it clear whether habitual sleep loss has long-term effects on overall sleep quality and deep sleep.32. What effect does lack of deep sleep have on people?A. Their hearts stop functioning.B. Their metabolism always accelerates.C. They may perform -worse physically and mentally.D. They are less easily hurt in body and spirit.33. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. Problems.B. The sleeping men.C. Diseases.D. The researchers.34. Which one is typically good sleep hygiene according to the text?A. Getting up soon after waking up.B. Going to bed early by taking sleep medicine.C. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco before bedtime.D. Trying to sleep as long as possible every day.35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Major findings of the study.B. Some limitations of the study.C. Different factors affecting sleep quality.D. Some possible causes of high blood pressure.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。
