• 11．To wash or not to wash all comes down to the type of haircut you typically get.If you get a dry cut，you'll want to come to the salon with freshly washed hair.
     A good way to tell whether a dry cut is needed is by looking at the type of haircut you're going in for.If it's just a light trim （修剪），bang touch-up （劉海修飾），or you want to add a little more movement to your hair with layers （but not much length），your stylist may prefer to do a dry cut.This technique is also more common on straight hair looking for more shape compared with curls or waves.
     If you usually get your hair cut while wet，it's a different story. "Many stylists will select to wash your hair before cutting since most prefer to cut the hair wet rather than dry." This is especially true when you are looking to remove （去掉） an inch or more from the ends，or are looking to add a lot more texture and layers.If you fall into this camp，you can likely skip the shampoo before heading to the salon.
     It's a little different if you're heading to the salon for a hair-color appointment and not a haircut.You'll want clean，dry hair for this type of appointment. "Make sure when showing up for a color application that the hair is dry as well so that the stylist can properly assess your needs and apply the color，" said Rivera.
     It's also helpful to know that you don't have to wait to wash your hair again after dyeing it to "set" the color，like many people think.You can go ahead and wash it whenever you'd like and the color should stay intact （完好無損），provided you're using the right color-preserving hair products.
     For a hairstyling appointment — whether it be for a big event，wedding，or graduation — you'll want to show up with hair that's clean，but not too clean. "Often，with updos （盤發），washing the hair the day before is best because it allows you to come to the salon with completely dry hair that is ready to style，" said Rivera.
     Second-day hair is easier to work with and holds a style better，but if you end up showering before the appointment，that's OK — stylists can always use texturizing spray to give the hair some grit.
  
  （1）When can people go to the salon to get a dry cut according to the text？

  
  A．When they want to have their hair curled.
  B．When they want to straighten their curly hair.
  C．When they don't want to make big hairstyle changes.
  D．When they have the habit of washing their hair daily.
  （2）Which of the following practices actually is unnecessary？

  
  A．Applying products that protect hair.
  B．Going to the barber to colour your hair.
  C．Washing your hair immediately after colouring it.
  D．Washing your hair after a period of colouring it.
  （3）What does Rivera suggest people do？

  
  A．Style their hair for important occasions.
  B．Colour their hair as little as possible.
  C．Wash hair before they go to get it styled.
  D．Take a bath before going to style hair.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．You'd Better Wash Your Hair Before a Haircut
  B．Should You Wash Your Hair Before a Haircut？
  C．Which is Better，a Dry Cut or a Wet Cut？
  D．Should You Wash Your Hair Immediately after Colouring It？

• 12．African countries have retrieved some historic heritage，which directly reflects（反映） the important development of human society，from European countries.Recently，Germany signed a deal for the return of hundreds of valuable artworks from the Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century，in what is today Benin.
     But many artifacts（手工藝品） are still unluckily missing and some are on their way back.One such object is an eight-legged seat from the old kingdom in Uganda.The important artifact now sits at a museum thousands of kilometers away in Britain.The wooden seat is housed at the University of Oxford.It is one of at least 279 objects there taken from the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom.
     Apollo John Rwamparo is a deputy prime minister of Uganda.He really values country's cultural jye.airitage.He requested the British to return the artifacts.Uganda officials are preparing to meet with the University of Cambridge in Britain about the return of such historical artifacts.The school has an unknown number of artifacts from Africa.Through many efforts，an artifact was recently to its home.
     The British Museum holds a large collection of artifacts from Africa.Rose Mwanja said Uganda's commission had been trying hard on it and believed it could have some good effects.She is Uganda's commissioner for museums.She added she could start with those that are more willing to cooperate.
     Many of the artifacts from Africa cannot even be found.That led to an organization started by late Congolese art collector Sindika Dokolo.The organization offers to buy African art from collections in foreign countries.By 2020，when Dokolo died，his group had successfully recovered 15 items.However，for African governments，the recovery of artifacts remains a struggle and will take much time.

• 13．You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
     At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
     Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（來源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
     In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（說明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（傾倒） from a truck all at once.
     Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
  
  （1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？

  
  A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
  B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
  C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
  D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
  （2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？

  
  A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
  B．To explain why they are useful.
  C．To voice his views on modern art.
  D．To find a substitute for them.
  （3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？

  
  A．Calming.
  B．Disturbing.
  C．Refreshing.
  D．Challenging.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
  B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
  C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
  D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

• 15．As the concept of emotional intelligence （EI） has gone global，we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders，we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths，it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve，and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
     The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception （how you see yourself） differs from your reputation （how others see you）； （1）

  .For example，most of us think that we're good listeners，but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check，it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
     To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation，you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI； （2）

  .Secondly，when you get your feedback from an assessment，let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence， （3）

  .Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
     That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations； （4）

  as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
     Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on，identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener，for example，you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause，listen to what they have to say，and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific；（5）

  .
     By starting to change your routine reactions，you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new，improved ones that do.
  
  A.you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be
  B.bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
  C.you should also lake every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing，no matter how small
  D.understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
  AB.the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
  AC.how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
  AD.this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions

      My husband and I recently made a cross -country move to Florida with our young child Dave.It was a quiet street with few people living there.Our neighbor was an old couple，Mr.Smith and Mrs.Smith，both over seventy years old and energetic.They were kind enough to help us clean our house and yard，for our new home was in a mess（ 亂）.
      Weeks before Thanksgiving arrived，my anxiety about it increased. "We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving dinner，" I suggested."Don't worry about it，" my husband said， "Heat up some hot dogs，maybe some cheese，and the kid will be happy." That sounded great.I was in relief!
      In the past holidays，I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner.My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish and help clean up after the meal.But one day my son Dave happily showed his newly- -created turkey crafts. "Let's go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like turkey!" Dave shouted to me，"Take me on a walk，Mommy!" The excitement was building，and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving.
      "I'm going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food，Leonard，" I said to my husband late one night.He eyed me incredibly. "Are you sure？"Then he said，"Okay，then，if you think you can do it." I said.
      I went to the grocery store early Thanksgiving morning.Unfortunately，only a huge turkey remained，so I had no choice but to buy a thirty -pound turkey.I dragged（拖拽） the bagged turkey home.When my family saw it，they got a big surprise at its size.Seeing the surprise on their faces，I realized there was no way we could finish the turkey.It's too big for my family."There was only one turkey left in the store." I explained."But how could we finish the turkey？"I asked my husband and Dave.Dave said we could invite our neighbor，Mr.jye.ai Mrs.Smith，to share with us.It seemed to be a good idea.
