【題目】 I will never forget the darkness, the pain and strong desire to die.

November arrived grey and busy, and going into an even more stressful. December, I was filled with anxious thoughts.

A visit to my father’s grave is often a good chance to cry and when I leave I feel a little more at peace. But this time was different. I drove home and every night for the rest of that week, I cried.

On Saturday, I watched a TV program teaching baking, and then I started to learn. By the end of the weekend, I had a dining room table covered with sweet treats. I packaged them up in tins, attached a label to each of them with “winter love” on it, and dropped them off on a few of my neighbors’ porches (門廊) before work. It shocked me how much it lightened my mood, seeing a small package lost on a porch.

The thanks I received later from the neighbors made me light up. It felt so good, and it distracted me from my dark thoughts.

By January I had developed a routine: on Sunday I’d bake cookies and package them up, and on Monday I'd deliver them. Every week I added a few different people to my delivery route, baked a few different kinds of cookies.

Somewhere along the way things started showing up on my doorstep a homemade cup, a pair of socks with tiny cookies and even a gift certificate from the local bookstore. Every single one melted my heart. But what I really appreciated was how people began to share their own stories of mental health with me. There is no greater honor than to be trusted with another’s life. I was overwhelmed by the love and care of my community. It humbled me that something so simple had created such incredible kindness. It reminded me that there was good in me, in my neighbors, in the world.

I was shifting into a new season of light, while letting go of a season of darkness. What had begun as an attempt to bring light into my own darkness had been transformed into a story more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed. It reminded me that there is beauty in being kind. That life is tough, but there is a quiet strength in knowing you are not alone.

【1】After she started sharing cookies with neighbors, the author_________.

A.gained trust and care from them

B.added other things to her delivery list

C.felt her life was no longer busy or stressful

D.found some of them had more mental problems than her

【題目】 I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.

A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球莖). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. 'When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.

It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.

Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.

Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again.

【1】What can we know about the author?

A.She is a professional gardener.

B.She is not good at growing flowers.

C.She never plants flowers at home.

D.She often sends friends flowers as gifts.

【2】Why did the writer forget the tulip bulbs soon?

A.The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away.

B.She was discouraged from making another attempt.

C.They failed to live through the cold and long winter.

D.She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.

【3】What were those flowers mentioned in the last paragraph referred to?

A.A physical representation of the hope.

B.Things deep inside her heart and soul.

C.A lesson she will never forget completely.

D.The trouble she had in making them come out.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A dark winter with hope.B.Planting hope in winter.

C.An area of green in spring.D.Living a changeable life.

【題目】The decade of the “young old” begins

The year 2020 will mark the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”，【1】. The height of the baby boom, the period of high fertility in rich countries after the second world war, was 1955-60. one might therefore expect peak retirement for baby-boomers in the coming years — except that they are not retiring. By continuing to work, and staying socially engaged, the boomers, in their new guise as the young old, will change the world.

【2】: of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy in rich countries between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health.

【3】: between 1989 and 2013, the median wealth of families headed by someone over 62 in America rose by 40% to $210,000, while the wealth of all other age groups declined. The over-60s are vital to the tourism industry because they spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than younger adults.

【4】. In 2016 just over a fifth of people aged 65-69 were in work in rich countries, a figure that is rising fast. Many bosses and HR departments think productivity falls with age, but a German study found that people who remain at work after the normal retirement age manage to slow the cognitive decline associated with old age and have a cognitive capacity of someone a year and a half younger.

【5】. They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as people who wear slippers and look after the grandchildren.

A. The yold are also better off

B. In short, the yold are not just any group of old people

C. The yold are both young and old

D. as the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75

E. Health worsens with age, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most

F. The yold are busier, too

G. The yold can’t resist aging
