It's a small business I started, and everyone who enjoy, working here comes into the studio in free time, so they can be home with their family, cats, dogs at prime times.I first fell in love with candles on visits to my grandmother Ferne's house in Lincoln. At night, candlelight flashed off the book-lined walls. During the day, she'd take me to a cafe in the historic Haymarket district and we'd drink tea out of china cups.I poured my first candle at the age of 14, using the candle-making tool that Ferne had given me. I gave the finished product to my grandmother for Christmas. She loved that candle I'd made for her. That first candle was imperfect. Beautifully imperfect.Then in 2014, life took a dark turn for my grandmother. The breast cancer took away her life. I found myself thinking about the candle-making tool she had given me as a 14-year-old kid, and the joy it had brought me. I began pouring candles again, making them for friends. Because of kids' health, I'd become especially interested in natural products. I used locally sourced soy wax. Was there a way I could make candles for people beyond my group of friends? And so, Christmas of that year, Wax Buffalo was launched. Little by little, the business grew as we found more people who wanted our candles. Now our candles are sold in more than 60 shops across the country.Isn't life wonderful? Indeed, it is - beautifully imperfect. But it hasn't turned out at all how I'd have predicted. I think that's what Ferne wanted me to understand.To trust the light of hope, to enjoy fun in its light, to know that it can transforma person from within.24.

Imperfection exists everywhere.B. Life takes off from a dark turn.C. Life can be predicted somehow.D. Being hopeful about life is important.COne in five women and one in eight men are becoming more tired and less productive, according to a new Australian study on mobile phone use.Led by the Queensland University of Technology in Australia, researchers surveyed 709 mobile phone users across the country aged 18 to 83 and asked them a series of questions based on a similar study 13 years ago. Identifying a phenomenon “technoference (科技干扰)”, researchers discovered a significant increase in people blaming their devices for “losing slee p, becoming less productive and even getting more aches and pains”.According to the study's lead author Dr Oscar, the issue is so bad that 24 percentof women and 15 percent of men are now considered to be “problematic mobile phoneusers”. “When we talk a bout technoference we're referring to the everyday intrusions(侵入)and interruptions that people experience due to mobile phones and their usage,”he said. “Our survey found technoference had increased among men and women. Forexample, self-reports relating to the loss of sleep and productivity showed that thesenegative outcomes had significantly increased during the last 13 years. This findingsuggests that mobile phones are potentially increasingly affecting aspects of daytimefunctioning due to lack of sleep.”Compared to a 2005 study, “technoference” issues for 18- to 24-year-oldsexperienced a surprising 40.9 percent rise, while those aged 25 to 29 also recordeda dramatic increase of 23.5 percent.Oscar said that with the number of smartphone users around the world expectedto surpass 2.5 billion before the end of this year, the problem of "technoference"could get even worse. “The speed and depth of smartphone take-up makes our populationparticularly vulnerable to some of the negative consequences of high mobile phoneuse,” he said. “Rapid technological innovatio ns have led to dramatic changes intoday's mobile phone technology, which can improve the quality of life for phone usersbut also result in some negative outcomes.”28. How are people affected by technoference according to the text?A. It makes people addicted to communicating online.B. It pushes people to work at a fast pace.C.

The increasing side effects of smartphones.B. Ways to solve technoference problem.C. Smartphones and people's happiness.D. The popularity of smartphones.DExperts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind the US as one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas methane emissions (甲烷排放). While cows are the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic (驯养的)animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, a great number of people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein and have very few calories. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects-both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!32. Which of the following animals contribute to global methane emissions most?A. Pigs.B. Cows.C. Sheep.D. Chickens.33. How is the third paragraph mainly developed?A. By asking questions.B. By providing examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By listing the numbers.34. What do tree worms taste like?A. Pig meat.B. Tomato soup.C. Fresh vegetables.D. Fried chicken.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Few people eat insects regularly.B. Ordinary insects are high infat.C. Insects contain various vitamins.D. Eating insects is good forus and our planet.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。
