I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also

needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I

struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand.

The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having

decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.

A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine

from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch

into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8

was the fastest.

It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through

Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog

they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a

living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.

I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some

delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do

laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there. We asked where the other had

gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.

I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.

24. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes?

A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the meeting.

C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well.

25. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8?

A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.

C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.

26. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry?

A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.

C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.

27. What can be inferred about the author from the passage?

A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college.

C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a strong weapon in efforts against global warming. But are they

like what people believe? The Radiant Energy Group (REG) stated effects of EVs vary with countries. In some

nations, EVs lead to the release of more carbon gases than gasoline cars. The group reckoned gas emissions (释放)

caused by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an EV. Countries where charging an EV is cleaner than driving a

gasoline-powered car use a lot of nuclear or solar power.

Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe. Data from REG suggests EVs in Poland actually create

more carbon emissions because their electrical systems depend so much on coal. In other European countries,

however, EVs result in fewer emissions. The countries with the biggest carbon gas reduction use much clean power.

The first was Switzerland at, 100 percent carbon reductions over gasoline vehicles.

Germany and Spain create lots of electricity from the sun and wind. But the sun and wind don’t add to a

country’s electrical system equally throughout the day. For this reason, carbon emissions saved by driving an EV

aren’t fixed. Charging in the afternoon, when there’s more sun and wind, saves 16 to 18 percent more carbon than at

night when electrical systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.

The gap in emissions between electric and, gasoline-powered vehicles has narrowed in recent years. In Europe,

carmakers have been required to meet EU CO2 emissions of performance standards. They’ve made their gasoline

engines more sufficient, As a result, carbon emissions of new gasoline- powered cars in Europe have fallen an average

of 25 percent in the past years. But EV sales in Europe are backed by government spending and rules against new

gasoline engine cars after 2035. Major automakers have set targets to sell mainly EVs in Europe in the coming years.

28. What does the underlined word “reckoned” mean in paragraph 1?

A. Increased. B. Calculated. C. Banned. D. Prevented.

29. What affects carbon emissions of EVs according to paragraph 3?

A. The country where they’re made. B. Facilities producing clean power.

C. The time they are being charged. D. Technology used by electrical systems.

30. What causes sales of EVs to rise quickly in Europe?

A. Support of official policies. B. Concern about global warming.

C. Standards of gasoline cars. D. Advertisements from carmakers.

31. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. What Benefits Do EVs Bring? B. Will EVs Replace Gasoline Cars in Europe?

C. How Do EVs Affect Carbon Emissions? D. Do Electric Cars Really Help the Environment?

Poet Wadsworth Longfellow said “music is the universal language of mankind”, and there’s growing evidence

that he was right. New research shows people with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) disease often respond to familiar music or

song lyrics, even when their memories and ability to participate in conversation may be flagging.
