I grasped a yogurt in one hand as I tried to eat and catch up on customer e-mail during the noon hour. 31 fifteen minutes in the employee lunchroom seemed too much of a luxury. My company, like any companies, had 32 costs by not replacing people as they left. The 33 were expected to take up the slack（接手工作）. I didn’t feel I worked at a job; I felt I was my job. I wanted to give up, but given the economy, I felt I couldn’t until I had another job in hand. Nice in 34 , but given how bad-tempered all the extra hours made me, it was difficult to 35 potential employers to hire me. I felt 36 . Then a chance conversation with a stranger’s

six-year-old daughter changed my perspective. The young girl was 37 , standing in line with her mom at the grocery store.

“Good day at school?” I asked. A nod.

“What’s your favorite subject?” “ 38 .”

I smiled at the answer. I remembered when that had been my answer. The lunchtime was ours. That brief conversation with the girl left me wondering: What happened to lunch? I knew that by law I was entitled to have a lunch break. So I decided to simply start to take it and 39 the surrounding areas of my office. A few blocks away was a local art museum with free 40 . At the end of another street, I was surprised to discover a public library. Near the library was a small man-made pond that attracted ducks and small children with their parents, all of whom provided much 41 as they demanded to be fed. When I decided to take back my lunch hour, I prepared myself for 42 remarks or stares from my co-workers, but they never appeared. 43 , we started inviting each other out for walks during good weather and discovered that we had other topics of conversation beyond the now common complaints about work. I am still looking for a new position, 44 with less stressed-out urgency than before. You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can always change your 45 . 31. A. Ever 32. A. increased 33.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。

Prom was born in the United States more than 100 years ago and has spread to other parts of the world. In America, it has become an industry similar to the wedding business.

A study done by the American financial company, Visa, found that, on average, an American family spends more than 900 dollars on prom. Much of it is spent on what the young adults wear to the formal dance. Gowns often cost in the hundreds of dollars. Tuxedo rentals are similarly priced. And then there are costs linked to hair and makeup, flowers for prom dates, dinner and

transportation. It adds up. But some students find ways to make the event more economical. “I borrowed my dress,” says Maggie Kinnett. Like Hope, Maggie is a senior at Yorktown High School in Arlington. She got her makeup done without cost by a professional who is a family friend. Many girls choose to get ready for the prom with friends. They might get their hair done at a beauty shop together. They might hire a professional make-up artist for a few hours to share the costs.

Apart from the costs, it might matter more to students to have a prom date. “There’s a lot of pressure to have a date to prom, just because people don’t want to be by themselves and be seen by themselves. It’s really to me, not a big deal, but it’s definitely a big deal at my school.”

Asking someone to prom, however, is no small task in the United States. “Promposals,” as they are called, are supposed to be imaginative and take time to plan. Sometimes a kid will make a big poster using rhymes or word play to invite someone to prom. Some kids might buy a gift to present when they ask someone to prom. While most promposals are simple and sweet, and sometimes getting the “yes” response is the best part of prom, some prompsals can be far more elaborate and sometimes not a good idea. In a California park, for example, a student sprayed “Prom?” in huge letters on a boulder last year. In May, many people were offended when a white high school student in California painted his face black to ask a girl to prom.

Still, the students enjoy this last dance of their childhood. Imagine the night is warm and clear, the atmosphere elegant and romantic, during a prom, the students are happy and excited, tearing up the dance floor, loudly celebrating each other and the start of their adult lives. 46. According to the passage, prom is . A. a formal dance held by students to celebrate their birthday

B. a formal dance held by high school to celebrate their graduation C. a formal party held by young adults to celebrate their marriage D. a formal party held by parents to celebrate their children’s growth 47. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. prom is a tradition in many parts of the world B. every family spends a lot of money on prom C. most students prefer to go to prom by themselves D. sometimes it’s difficult to ask someone to prom

48. The underlined word “elaborate” in Paragraph 4 means . A. carefully prepared B. beautifully designed C. offensively proposed D. impressively organized

B

Exercise is good for us. It reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease. This is according to the World Health Organization.

But many people who work all week have little time for exercise. So, they might try to do something to increase their heart rates over the weekend – go for a long run, take a bike ride, hike in the mountains or do a strenuous chore around the house, such as raking leaves, shoveling snow or digging a garden. We sometimes call people who exercise only on Saturdays and Sundays \all in during the weekend?
