19、y father would give each of his children $ 20. This was the 1970s, and $ 20 was quite a bit of money.But I sawit differently. My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my father was giving me a shopping spree (狂欢

20、) every year. But he was also giving me charge over my own fun, trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up. He didnt buy me Sherlock Holmes, but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself, so it felt like a gift from him.My mother had a gift

21、for giving me what I needed, usually right at the moment I needed it most. This was when I was 25, I failed at being an adult on my very first try. I had quitted my previous job but had no new one. But when my mother paid me a visit, I put on a good show, telling her I had started my own company.My

22、mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time. It wasnt until after she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. She knew how desperately I needed it. She knew that had she just shown up with groceries, or offered to pay my rent, she would have made me fee

23、l much worse. The cold, hard cash meant she was helping me. And, funnily enough, the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity. My mother and father both did the same thing. One was giving me the means to take my own decisions, and

24、 the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.25. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. His family once celebrated Christmas happily.B. His father gave the author chances to make decisions.C. His best memories about Christmas were in t

25、he 1970s.D. He used to choose books as his fathers gift on Christmas.26. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. money offered by his father. B. father generous with money.C.

26、lanned to open his company B. became interested in showsC. gave his mother a gift D. was out of work28. Which word can best describe the authors mother?A. sensitive. B. optimistic. C. considerate. D. determined. CIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your

27、 pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) we

28、re found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most mar

29、ked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a

30、 notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “in

31、dicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mo
