• 1．Advice on Writing from Famous Writers
     ◆Hilary Mantel—a little pride can be a great help
     The most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence，if you can manage it.You write to impress yourself on the world，and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.
     ◆Leo Tolstoy—pick the hours that work best for you
     Tolstoy believed in starting first thing： "I always write in the morning.I was pleased to hear lately that Rousseau，too，after he got up in morning，went for a short walk and sat down to work.In the morning one's head is particularly fresh.The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk."
     ◆William Faulkner—read to write
     Read，read，read everything—rubbish，classics，good and bad，and see how they do it.Just like a carpenter（木匠）who works as a beginner and studies under the master.Read!You'll take it in.Then write.If it is good，you'll find out.If it's not，throw it out of the window.
     ◆Katherine Mansfield—writing anything is better than nothing
     Looking back，I imagine I was always writing.Even it was rubbish.But it's far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.
  
  （1）What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel？

  
  A．A sense of pride.

• 2．Directed by the AFM private company，National University of Science and Technology （NUST）MISIS engineers，together with the Karfidov Lab design group，have invented a machine named Salatomat that could serve meals to users in a very short time.The engineers say this machine cooks dishes from vegetables and cereals（谷物） in 30-60 seconds，so it can produce between 150 and 500 meals per day.
     The cooking machine contains 16 basic ingredients—vegetables，cereals，potatoes，noodles—and 20 dressings and toppings.With this set，Salatomat can cook up to 1，000 different dishes，with the user able to make a personal choice of products.These dishes are especially fit for those who live a healthy lifestyle or have some health problems.
     "The machine has its own 'brain'.It can remember users' choices and medical history.And it knows what is in it and what it can produce with the help of the RFID chip，"said Aleksey Karfidov，head of the department of technological equipment engineering at NUST MISIS.
     "The process（過程）"begins with the preparation of products—putting ingredients into the robot，cutting vegetables，and controlling the temperature（cooling or heating，depending on the dish），"said Aleksey Karfidov.According to the developers，the robot is able to ensure the safety of food and quick preparation of well-balanced meals.The machine will also be completely non-contact（非接觸的）—all cooking steps are carried out by itself.
     All ingredients inside Salatomat are put into clean containers.Ingredients can be stored in the containers for eight hours at most，and if not used，they must be removed and cleaned.
  
  （1）What is Salatomat designed to do？

  
  A．Store different foods.
  B．Wash the dishes.
  C．Grow vegetables.
  D．Help prepare meals.
  （2）What can we infer about Salatomat according to Aleksey Karfidov？

  
  A．It's expensive.
  B．It's unworkable.
  C．It's intelligent.
  D．It's space-saving.
  （3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The way Salatomat works.
  B．The change Salatomat brings.
  C．The cost of buying ingredients.
  D．The importance of food safety.
  （4）What should users notice when using Salatomat？

  
  A．Clean it up after each use.
  B．Keep a close eye on its temperature.
  C．Mix everything together before it works.
  D．Take out its ingredients stored over eight hours.

• 3．One morning last year，when I added lunch money to my teenage daughter's account，I was surprised to find only a few dollars missing When I asked her about that，I could tell she was having difficulty putting her thoughts into words."Mom，"she said，"I want to lose weight."
     Then she told me that during gym class，all the girls had to line up to have their weight measured.Afterward，several started skipping meals（不吃飯） to lose weight.My daughter —an average-size teenager—hadn't eaten lunch in a week.
     Many people in the body positivity movement（身體自愛運(yùn)動）—which I'd like to count myself a member of—believe that the wish to lose weight is never reasonable，because it is an expression of fat shaming.I am a fat woman.I was a fat teenage.But I embraced the idea that my body was healthy at any size.
     Therefore，several weeks ago，when my doctor told me that I had diabetes（糖尿病），I disagreed with him."How can I have diabetes？I eat fruits and vegetables，I walk.You can be healthy at any size".
     "You're not healthy at any size.Unless you make some changes，you've probably got about 10 years left to live，"he said.
     His words had thrown my belief into doubt.
     Today's body positivity refuses to accept that no one method is right for every person.One teenager might grow up to be healthy at any weight，and another might end up in the hospjye.aial.It left my own daughter afraid to discuss the topic with me.
     Shutting down the conversation wouldn't help.My daughter did not want to grow up to weigh 300 pounds like me.I didn't want that either.But we also talked about self-love and health.We put a stop to the meal skipping.She chose some healthier and started playing a sport.I've come to feel that loving yourself and wishing to change yourself are two opinions that should be able to exist（存在） together peacefully.
  
  （1）Why did the author's daughter lose weight？

  
  A．She had health problems.
  B．She hoped to save money.
  C．She wanted to be a gym teacher.
  D．She feared she would be overweight.
  （2）What does the underlined word"embraced"in paragraph 3 probably mean？

  
  A．Accepted.
  B．Doubted.
  C．Understood.
  D．Hated.
  （3）What is the problem with today's body positivity according to the author？

  
  A．It harms parent-child relationships.
  B．It sends wrong messages about beauty.
  C．It doesn't show some teenagers' needs.
  D．It doesn't realize fatness could influence health.
  （4）What did the author do about her daughter's weight-loss goal？

  
  A．She talked her out of it.
  B．She refused to discuss it.
  C．She believed it was meaningless.
  D．She worked out better ways to achieve it.

• 4．Looking for a place to take a rest，sip a cup of coffee and have a furry companion？Welcome to animal-themed cafes.
     In recent years，the combination of pets and catering has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China.While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs，others are expanding their range.Some cafes include animals like squirrels，raccoons and even capybaras.
     In reviews，internet users have commented that their main reason for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.
     "The customers love animals.They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home，but circumstances don't allow it，" said pet cafe owner Tian Rui，Liu Jing，a Beijing resident who works in finance，loves pigs，but her parents would not endorse her getting one as a pet.The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images.But now，she can have close contact with an adorable pig every weekend in a pet cafe.
     Also，these pet cafes serve as a shelter for those who find comfort in being around animals. "In this place，you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene（衛(wèi)生）—overall，it is an extremely comfortable experience，" said Zhao Ming from Tianjin，30，a frequent pet cafe visitor.
     Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people's attitudes toward pets.Animals like ducks，pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years.People hardly see them as pets.But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends.
     "Whether at home or in stores，these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts.They care and understand just like family members.They give us much more than the love we give to them，" Zhao said.
  
  （1）Why do people visit pet cafes？

  
  A．To pursue inner peace.

  D．To have close contact with animals.
  （2）What does the underlined word "endorse" in Paragraph 4 mean？

  C．show us the importance of having pets
  D．remind us to value our family and friends
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
