The agency from which hed been adop

26、ted gave him his mothers name: Tallady. But online searches didnt turn up any results about it, and Steve had to let it go.In 2020, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowes store where Steve, then 22, worked as a deliveryman.

27、 When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, “You mean Tallady, who works here?Steve and Tallady, a cashier, had said hello to each other a few times at the store, but theyd never really talked. He hadnt even known her name. Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mothe

28、r though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasnt sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter. Finally, the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion（团聚）.When Tallady realized that the nice guy shed been waving at was his son, she sobbed. Shed always hop

29、ed to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar. Shed given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. “I wasnt ready to be a mother,” she told him. Married with two other children, Tallady says, “I have a complete family now.”56. Ste

32、ever gone to work to find that one of your coworkers is coughing and sneezing all day long? You do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: Why did he or she come to work when they were ill? The reality for many Americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them t

33、he luxury of staying home because they dont feel well.This problem doesnt just affect the working employees who are sick, though. In an article by James Warren for Bloomberg Business Week, a second-grade school teacher, Stilli Klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day

34、long because their parents cant get off work to come and get them. In the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with H1N1.There is a movement called the Healthy Families Act in Congress that would change this situation for many

35、Americans. The Healthy Family Act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. These days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to routine doctors appointments

36、.Those who are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession (经济衰退), and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.Those who support the Healthy Families Act say that our nation cant afford to not take these

37、 measures. When an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their coworkers, clients and customers.According to a report by Katie Couric on the CBS evening news, three fourths of low wage earners get docked when they are sick. Those individuals include daycare workers and restaurant

38、 workers, whose health can affect the health of many.59. Why do many Americans still come to work when they are sick?A. They often ignore the illness if not serious.B. They work in high spirits.C. The cost of staying home is great.D. The cost of medical treatment is high.60. In the article mentioned

39、 in this passage, James Warren intends to say _.A. children need more thoughtful and considerate careB. adults not having enough paid sick time may be bad for childrenC. parents shouldnt leave the sick children at schoolD. teachers are responsible for taking good care of children at school61. Accord

40、ing to the Healthy Families Act, _.A. all the employers are required to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workersB. the employees can use the paid sick days to take a trip so as to relax themselvesC. the employees could demand their companies pay for their medical billsD.the employees can us

41、e the paid sick days to take care of their sick children62. The term get docked (Para 6) probably means_ .A. lose part of wagesB. lose their healthC. get paidD. get firedCDogs can tell how other dogs are feeling from the way their tails(尾巴) are wagging（摇摆）, according to researchers who monitored the

42、 animals heart rate as they watched canine（犬科动物的）movies. The Italian team found that dogs had higher heart rates and became more anxious when they saw others wag their tails more to the left, but not when they wagged more to the right, or failed to wag at all.The curious form of communication is pro

43、bably not intentional, or consciously understood, but is instead an automatic behavior that arises from the structure of the brain, said Giorgio. “Its not something they clearly and exactly understand,” Giorgio told the Guardian. “Its just something that happens to them.”Giorgio traces the effect ba

44、ck to the way the two halves of the brain process different experiences. In a previous study, his team showed that when a dog had a positive experience, such as seeing its owner, activity rose in the left side of the brain, bringing about more tail wagging to the right. Or else more tail wagging to

45、the left. The effect is barely visible to the human eye because dogs tend to wag their tails too fast, but it can be seen with slow motion video, or in some larger types.In the latest study, the researchers wanted to find out whether the direction of tail wagging had any effect on other dogs. To get

46、 an answer, they fitted dogs with vests that recorded their heart rates, and played them movies of other dogs wagging their tails one way and then the other. To ensure the dogs reacted only to tail wagging, and not appearance, they repeated the experiment with dogs that appeared only as shadows.“Whe

47、n dogs saw other dogs wagging their tails to the right, there was quite a relaxed reaction and no evidence of an increased heart rate. But when the wagging was to the left we saw an increase in heart rate and a series of behaviors typically associated with stress, anxiety and being more watchful,” G

48、iorgio said. The anxious animals held their ears up, breathed, and kept their eyes wide open. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology.Giorgio said the effect was comparable to the apparent human preference for wider pupils(瞳孔). In one 1975 study, women were described in more appeali

49、ng terms when their pupils were larger. Another study, from 2020, found that womens pupils got bigger when they looked at pictures of potential partners. In neither case were people aware that pupil size was sending out a signal, said Giorgio. He said tendencies in tail wagging were hard to spot wit

50、h the eye, but the finding might still help to improve animal welfare.This paper is extremely interesting from a dog owners perspective（视角）. If a dog wags their tail to the left upon reunion with their owner, this may be a cause of serious concern, as it suggests that the right half is activated（活动起

51、来）, which controls for negative emotional responses, including fear and withdrawal.63. It is _ that lead to dogs wagging tail to the left or right.A. their unaware behaviorB. the emotional responseC. their increasing heart rateD. watching canine movies64. From the passage we can learn that_.A. Giorg

52、io didnt understand the curious form of dogs communicationB. the pupil size will determine the appeal and welfare of a womanC. a dogs right brain become active when it is nervous and breathlessD. No one knows how our pupil sends out a signal to his potential partners65. According to the passage, the

53、 study is related to_.A. animal protectionB. animal psychologyC. animal welfareD. animal testing66. The passage is mainly about_.A. how wagging dogs communicate emotional responses with their ownersB. why wagging dogs feel seriously anxious and stressed or particularly relaxedC. Dogs communicating d

54、ifferent feelings with rightward or leftward tail waggingD. A good knowledge of dogs wagging tail can make us feel more comfortableDRemy Shea is a sixth-form student at my international school in Beijing. When I ask her where she is from, she says: “Im Canadian-Chinese but, at the same time, Im neit

55、her.”Moststudentsat my school arent from one particular place. Sure, our passports（护照） might say were British or Malaysian, but its more complicated than that. Where youre “from” is less about birthplace and more about cultural identity; as a student your cultural identity ends up being difficult to

56、 identify.If you ask me where Im from, Ill tell you Im English. Press me, and Ill say that Im also half Hong Konger. Ask which part of England Im from, and Ill be forced to explain that I spent most of my childhood and part of my adolescence flying around Asia. Though I was born in a city in the UK,

57、 I honestly couldnt point it out on a map or tell you anything about the place.Students like me are uniquely rootless; we dont belong anywhere and we cant describe ourselves as any one thing. Some find that they make their home wherever their family is. Some just accept the loneliness that comes wit

58、h the lack of concrete ties to any single place.Exir Kamalabadi, a year 13 student at my school, sums it up perfectly: “Ill never be Chinese, no matter what I do.” Replace “Chinese” with any other country, and you can understand the conflict within many “third culture kids”, as weve beentitled by th

59、e media. For me, Ill never be Hong Konger, no matter what I do. And, despite my mainly English-influenced upbringing（养育）, I will never feel fully at home there either.I feel like a foreigner everywhere I go, an emotion shared by other students at international schools like mine. Mixed-race students

60、who travel a lot while growing up can lack a cultural identity and also have to struggle with the fact that they dont have a history or not one thats easily explained. For me, a cultural identity is something I have to develop and maintain, not something that falls into place naturally. Ive heard my accent becoming progressively more American over the last five years. This is upsetting because my slight British accent was the last real reminder of where I was born. Without it, how am I supposed to tell people Im from the UK?Iv
