(10 points)One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes.It is extremely hard sometimes to say a(n) 1 thing like“I was wrong about that”,and it is even harder to say,“I was wrong,and you were right about that”.And I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made 2 fifteen years ago.He told me he had been the 3 of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up,and he asked me 4 I remembered the egg boxes.Then he told me 5 and I began to remember vaguely what he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time,and I had wandered into 6 with my mother to do the weekly shopping.On that 7 day.I must have found my way to the dairy food department 8 the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive 9 of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes.The boxes were piled three or four feet high.I must stopped in from of them to admire the 10 .just then 11 came by,pushing her grocery cart, 12 the boxes carelessly and left.For some reason,I 13 to put the display back together even though it was not my 14 so I began to work.The manager heard the 15 and came rushing over to see what had happened.When he appeared,I was on my knees 16 some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were 17 ,but to him it looked as if I was the wrongdoer.He severely scolded me and wanted me 18 any broken eggs to make up to the loss.I tried to explain that I was looking at the boxes,but it 19 no good.Even though I didnt regret for my decision and quickly forgot all about the incident, 20 the manager did not.1、Apleasant Benjoyable Csimple Ddifficult2、Aan discovery Ba friend Can incident Da mistake3、Aboss Bcleaner Ccashier Dmanager4、Aif Bhow Cwhy Dwhen5、Aa story Bthe department Can accident Dan incident6、Athe shop Bthe store Cthe supermarket Dthe grocery7、Ausual Blucky Cwonderful Dparticular8、Awhere Bafter Cuntil Dthough9、Aexhibits Bstorage Cdisplay Dboxes10、Aeggs Bboxes Cstorage Dsale11、Aa woman Ba customer Ca manager Da stranger12、Aknocked on Bknocked over Cknocked off Dknocked at13、Adeclared Bbegan Cdecided Dstarted14、Afault Btask Ceggs Dboxes15、Ascream Balarm Cnoise Dcall16、Ato check Bchecking Cchecked Dhaving checked17、Abad Bgood Clost Dbroken18、Ato pay off Bto pay back Cto pay for Dto pay out19、Awas Bdid Cworked Dhad20、Aobviously Bfrequently Cunfortunately DunnecessarilySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

It turns out that following them isnt just good for your health. Its good for the planet, too.“What we found is that impacts vary across nations, but in the highimpact nations, in general, you can see that, if you follow a nationally recommended diet, despite the fact that these diets dont mention explicitlyor most of them dont explicitly mentionenvironmental impacts, that you are going to have lower environmental impacts due to that. So thats sort of fairly clear across all the highincome nations.” said Paul Behrens, an environmental scientist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.The food we eat takes a big toll on the environment. A third of the icefree land on Earth is used for agriculture, and according to some estimates, producing food accounts for roughly a fifth of all humancaused greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizer runoff also leads to other problems, like the algae blooms in Lake Eerie and the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico.However, following dietary guidelines would reduce those impacts, especially in wealthy countries like the US. “Most of the reductions come from meat and dairy，” which have an outsized impact on land use and pollution, and are a major source of greenhouse gases.(Thats partly due to cow farts. Seriously.) Following the suggestions would also mean eating fewer calories, since many people here eat more than they need.Overall, in highincome countries, Behrens team estimates that following the rules could result in as much as a 17 percent reduction in land use, a 21 percent reduction in nutrient pollution, and a 25 percent drop in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting down on how much food we wastewhich is roughly a third in the UScou
