Joe Horan, a physical education teacher, has started the program Building Men to create a positive vision of manhood not just for himself, but also for the boys he teaches. Looking back, Mr. Horan says his program developed from a low point in his life. In 2004 as he went through a hard time, he felt society’s definition of manhood was leading him down the wrong path. His life, he says, lacked substance and depth. “A desire became planted in my heart, that is, to find healing from the unhealthy messages I believed about manhood,” he says. Then, his sister recommended a book, Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx, which digs into the discovery of what being a man is all about. Joe took all the clues and started to put life lessons into his class.

Despite limited resources and funding, Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006. It grew on a shoestring budget, expanding school by school, year by year. Today, 33 teachers, like Mr. Colabufo, work across 18 schools. Mr Colabufo has known Mr. Horan for several years, noting many people are aware of the program’s success. “Joe’s a legend in this district,’’ Mr Colabufo says.

The program eals to boys at first because of a basketball component, but its secret is how it dives into off-the-court issues through discussions on character. Building Men helps participants gain insight, work to restore self-worth, and learn to calm emotions. SIR is a central component of lessons, standing for significance, integrity, and relationships.

At a recent breakfast fundraiser, Shateek Nelson, a senior at Nottingham High School, shared his experience, having participated in Building Men since middle school. He said he learned to see the bigger picture, rather than living in the moment. He also came to realize his actions affect others, and now he factors that into his decisions.

4.What motivated Joe Horan to start the program Building Men?

A.An instructional book. B.His personal experience.

C.His sister’s suggestion. D.The society’s expectation.

5.What does the underlined word “shoestring” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Flexible. B.Proper. C.Tight. D.Balanced.

6.What did Shateek Nelson learn from participating in BuildingMen?

A.One should dream big and then start small.

B.One should live each day as if it were the last day.

C.It is good to gain real-life experience at middle school.

D.It is essential to think more of others in decision-making.

7.What is the best title for the text?

A.SIR: Core Component of Physical Education

B.Healthy Life: Involving Substance and Depth

C.Building Men: Teaching Boys About Manhood

D.Manhood: Teenagers’ Power of Handling Issues

 

Recently, there was a slight growth in the travel industry in the UK after lockdowns. “I think what pandemic(流行病)has done,” said the boss of a travel company, “ is remind people what it’s like when you don’t travel.” Travel is never out of the top three desire purchases. People will give up a kitchen, sofa and surprisingly supermarket shopping, to protect the holiday.

Protecting the holiday at all costs makes total sense to me.Holidays are not a luxury, but one of those essential things in life that allow us to get through hard times. The thought of a holiday promotes a sense of well-being, of calm, of balance.

Holidays do not have to be expensive, or to places far away. Obviously, two weeks in the Maldives is the dream,but others can count as a holiday.For me, a holiday needs only a few things: a drawer to put my phone in, a couple of good books, and a chance to hang out with my family.

In my twenties, when I was almost constantly in a state of anxiety, I never went on holiday. I was scared of flying, scared of my boss noticing how much nicer life was without me in the office. I thought not going on holiday made me a harder worker,when actually it just made me a more tired one. Then, a boss pulled me aside to tell me that he wasn’t going to thank me for not taking my holidays. I then booked a cheap beach holiday with a friend, and was genuinely amazed to find I felt much better for it.

So now, I make sure I always have a holiday booked- even if said holiday is only a weekend staying with my sister. A change is as beneficial as a rest, said Winston Churchill- both at the same time is, in my view, even better.

8.What did people realize after lockdowns according to paragraph 1?

A.The importance of travelling.

B.The harm from the pandemic.

C.The need for more online purchases.

D.The difficulty with holiday protection.

9.Which of the following illustrates the author’s basic criteria for a holiday?

A.A warm climate and beaches.

B.Some quality time with family.

C.Some adventurous travel plans.

D.A five-star hotel and fine dining.

10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The benefit the author obtained from travelling.

B.The source of the author’s stress during office hours.

C.The change of the author’s attitude to taking holidays.

D.The reason why the author tried to be a harder worker.

11.What is the function of the quote in the last paragraph?

A.To explain a fact.

B.To provide a detail.

C.To support a point.

D.To offer a suggestion.

 

For the first time, scientists have measured what actually hens with face-to-face interactions when employees start to work at an open-plan office, and their results show these modern workspaces are not as cooperative as you’d think.

Two researchers from Harvard Business School and Harvard University wanted to test whether removing walls at a real-world workplace really increases interactions between co-workers. “To our knowledge, no prior study has directly measured the effect on actual interaction that results from removing walls to create an open office environment,” Ethan S. Bernstein and Stephen Turban write in the paper. To that end, they roached two multinational companies that were re-organizing their office spaces at the global headquarters, and enlisted small groups of employees for two studies.

For eight weeks before the office redesign and eight weeks afterward, the researchers tracked employees’ social interactions and locations. This data was analyzed together with email and instant messaging information from the company’s servers to measure differences in how people were communicating with each other.

What they found was a pretty astonishing difference in face-to-face interactions — but not in the direction you might think. Across both experiments, employees’ social interactions in person decreased by a crazy 70 percent, while emails saw an uptick by roughly 20 to 50 percent.

So, instead of spending more time cooperating with co-workers in the new space where everyone could see them, people got their heads down and tried to preserve their privacy any way they could. According to these results, it ears that being forced into a more open-plan environment can make people switch from chatting to others in person to sending an email or using instant messaging instead.

As the team notes, it’s not automatically a bad thing, but it can certainly change work dynamics in an unexpected way. “That can have important consequences for how — and how productively — work gets done,” the researchers conclude.

12.How did the two multinational companies redesign their offices?

A.By expanding the total floor areas.

B.By updating the computer servers.

C.By changing the employees’ locations.

D.By tearing down the space boundaries.

13.Why did the employees prefer email or instant messaging in an open office space?

A.To reduce the risk of privacy leaks.

B.To establish efficient communication.

C.To facilitate indirect social interaction.

D.To transform traditional work patterns.

14.What can be inferred from the researchers’ saying in the last paragraph?

A.Further relevant research needs conducting.

B.Their research findings are of practical value.

C.Their team intends to change working environment.

D.People hold different opinions on how work gets done.

15.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Real-world workplaces increase employees’ interaction.

B.Work dynamics don’t have much effect on work efficiency.

C.Modern workspaces change workers’ way of communication.

D.Open-plan offices can’t promote cooperation between co-workers.

六、读后续写

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完 整的短文。

I’m not going to say storms are good, because I know what they’ve stolen from people. But my story is of a storm that gave me more than I’d thought to ask for.

The tornado(龙卷风)blew through on a Sunday. We were visiting grandparents in Raleigh then, unaware that seventy miles away the big tree in our front yard was tearing through our roof and destroying the kitchen.

When we returned, we saw Rosica’s father and brothers in our yard, gathering debris(碎片)and using a chain saw to cut the thickest branches of the fallen tree, though we barely knew them then. They were covered in sweat and dirt.

My mom didn’t seem to notice how hy they were to help us because the first thing she said was “Oh, you don’t need to be doing all that work!” Mr. Flores laughed.“Claro! Of course, we don’t. But more importantly, you cannot sleep in that house tonight. Come and speak to my wife. She’ll help you figure out what to do.” My mom doesn’t usually let people tell her what to do, but she sighed(叹气)deeply as she took in the sight of our home in the failing light, reached for my hand, and followed our neighbor to their house.

The Flores family lived across the street. Their home was the same size as ours but housed three generations. Rosica was my age. I knew her name and face, but since she was new to our school, and had a different teacher than I did, we had never spoken. It was she who answered the door.“Mama is changing the sheets on the bed for you, and there’s some lemon cheesecake on the table.”

“Please don’t trouble yourself. I think I’d call a hotel and see about a room,” my mom said, more uneasy than usual. Mrs. Flores came down the stairs and smiled at us warmly, “Y our room is ready. I know it’s more encouraged to give than receive, but allow yourself to receive a place to stay, and allow us the chance to give you something you need!”

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右:

2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

Our two-week stay at Flores’s home started.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

Following our stay in their home, a beautiful tradition began.
