She was too embarrassed to do it during theday.So one dark evening,she put on her black off-the-shoulder gown and put her trash bin out.Her daughter filmed it andthewhole family laughed,butit semed to go down well.
The following weeks,she found other outfits in her dressing-up box,and dressed up as different characters and famous people,sharing her exploits on social media.Before long,people started offering up their own fancy dresses for her to wear.And before she knew it,she had done 20 weeks.

The idea for the board of free meals started after a donor came in with $100 for each member of its staff.After two staffers returned to their share,there was$700 leftover according to Tarah Morris,the owner of the restaurant,so they decided to do something more by creating the board.
The board of free meals inside the restaurant showsa host of potential mealsalready paid for by customers,each costing about $10:The board has messages of kindness like,“If you want more kindness in theworld,put it here.”
The drive has been going on for two weeks and Morris said just under 50 customers have picked up a free meal.There have been no reports of anyone taking advantage of the situation.In fact,there are a lot more people giving tickets than receiving.

Qustions 8 to 11 are based on theconversation you have just heard
W:Welcome to our program,Friends and Relationships.Our guest today is psychologist Steve Pinker from McGill University.
M:Glad to be here,Jane.
W:Hi,Steve.Our question today is why friends suddenly disappear.They may block us on their social media accounts and stop responding to our emails.They simply vanish without a trace.
M:The answer may lie in childhood,the waythe person related totheir mom and dad.It's related to their attachment styles.
W:Attachment styles?
M:Yeah.There are two different attachment styles:an anxious attachment style and an avoidant attachment style.When there is a relationship breakdown with their parents,children with an anxious attachment style scream and cry to get their parents to come back.But other children simply shut down and try to deal with their emotions by ignoring the situation.And these attachment styles carry on into adulthood. W:Does avoidance reduce their stress levels?
M:Not really.Their stress levels are actually the same as those experienced by thechildren who yell and scream.
W:And I assumeboth might be termed insecure.
M:Exactly.And it's a very insecure attachment.
W:How does an insecure attachment affect relationships between friends,co-workers and romantic relationships?
M:It's the same as conflicts.So if you have a disagreement with a securely attached person,they'renot going to panic.They're able tohear what the other person is saying and express their own felings and thoughts effectively.However,an insecurely attached person won't.They might either attack you,get defensive.or just disappear from your life.To them,a difference,no matter how small in your eyes,signals the end of the relationship.
W:That explains why they suddenly disappear.
8.What do we learn about the man?
9.What are the speakers mainly talking about?
10.How do children with an anxious attachment style react to a breakdown in their relationship with parents?
11.What does theman say about insecurely atached people?

M:Ihear you're going to Japan soon.
W:Yes,that's right.
M:Could I ask you a favor?
W:Sure.What is it?
M:I was wondering if you could getme some jeans while you're there.I'l pay you back,of course. W:A pair ofjeans?Okay.I don't see why not.But what's wrongwith jeans here?
M:Well,I just love good jeans and Japan happens to make the best in the world. My friend brought me a pair from there five years ago,and they stll look new.
W:Really?I had no idea Japan made jeans.I would have thought America made the best jeans because it's a typical American garment.
M:Yeah,I thought so too.But it turns out Japan still has some very old mills with the traditional weaving tools used to make jeans the original way.It's a slower process of making clothing.But the end result is surely superior.Also,the fabric they use is of a higher quality and the dyes are natural.They have a denser weave,and are more durable than any other jeans in the world.
W:That sounds cool.What size do you want and how much are they?
M:Ihave a 34 waist and size 30 or 32 inlength.Eitheris fine.They should be around $500.But make double certain they are made in Japan.
W:$500?Boy,that's expensive.Do you typically spend that much ona pair of casual trousers?
M:They area little pricey,yes.But they are very special.Bear in mind,they will last me several years and they're very fashionable too.I think they're totally worth it.
12.What makes the man choose to buy jeans made in Japan?
13.Why is the woman puzzled by the man's request?
14.What does the man say about thedyesof Japanese jeans?
15.What does the man say about Japanese jeans at the end of the conversation?
Section C
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the pasage you have just heard.
Every time I walk out of a superhero movie,I feel the same way.I experience a sense of longing,realizing that there should be more in life.The desire for adventure is a human one.Superhero films capture this desire perfectly.
The plot of each superherofilm has become relatively predictable;he world is in peril,the world needs a hero,the hero is in peril,the hero resolves the peril,the hero saves the world. Each film has an attractive lead,several expensive explosions,a few jokes to lighten the mood,and numerous punches that land unrealistically well.Even though we basically know what will happen,we keep coming back for more.
The elites of our socicty have rejected superhero films.They say the films lack any form of artistry These movies are criticized as being too simple.Butthey give the fans what they want—entertainment
No matter the form in which they reveal themselves,hero stories will always be present in life.It's not just about being entertained,but also being inspired.One author has mentioned that women desire to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure."Most young women want to be a part of something grand,something important.”It seems clear that this principle applies to men,as well.
So next time you see your favorite superhero film,be entertained,but also be inspired.Let that small longing you feel motivate you to make a difference.
16.Howdoes the speaker feel every time he walks out of a superhero movie?
17.What does the passage say about the plot of all superhero movies?
18.What do the elites of American society think of superhero movies?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Telling stories is one of the most powerful means leaders have to influence,teach and inspire.Storytelling forges connections among people.When it comes to our countries,our communities,and our families,we understand instinctively that the stories we hold in common are an important part of the ties that bind.
This understanding also holds true in the business world,where an organization's stories,and the stories its leaders tell,help solidify relationships in a way that factual statements don't.
Good stories do more than create a sense of connection.They build familiarity and trust.The allow the listener to enter the story,making them more open to learning.Good storiescan contain multiple meanings,so they're surprisingly economical in conveying complex ideas in graspable ways.And stories are more engaging than the recital of data points or a discussion of abstract ideas.
Stories about professional mistakes and what leaders learned from them are another great avenue for learning.Because people identify so closely with stories,theycan imagine how they would have acted in similar circumstances.They're able to work through situations in a way that's riskfree.There are extra benefits for leaders: with a simple personal story,they can convey fundamental values.They canoffer insight into the evolution of their own experience and knowledge,presenting themselves as more approachable and then they are more likely to inspire others towant to know more.
19.What does the passage say about storytelling?
20.What can good stories do to listeners according to the passage?
21.What can leaders do with a simple personal story?
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
The U.S.was founded by successive waves of immigrants,and immigrants are still contributing to America today—statistics prove it.
On two key measures of financial performance,immigrants outperform native-born Americans.
First,they are more likely to be entrepreneurs.From 1996 to 2016,the pace at which immigrants startedbusinesses was double that of U.S.-born individuals.Immigrants aren't just becoming entrepreneurs more frequently.They're often succeding. Over 40%of Fortune 500 companies had a founder who was either an immigrant or the child of one
Another key measure of financial strength is debt level.Immigrants do better in this area too Immigrants use credit less often for purchasing cars,homes or starting businesses.This results in significantly lower levels of debt than native-born Americans.For example,34%of Americans born in Latin America report no credit card or installment loan debt.This can be compared to just 19%of the general population.
Why are immigrants doing so well?The valucs and habits they bring from their own homelands help explain someof the success.
Unemployment tends to be higher in developing countries.That means more people must become entrepreneurs.Credit is also scarcer in most developing countries.This means individuals must save more in order to achieve their goals,or they borrow money from friends and family rather thana bank.That means less debt and potentially better credit outcomes when they reach the US.
22.What does the passage say statistics prove?
23.What do we learn about immigrants in the U.S.,comparedwith native-born Americans?
24.What does the passage say about immigrants in the U.S.,in terms of financial strength?
25.What do immigrants do to achieve their goals in the US.?
