I want to talk about a soldier. I saw him yesterday as my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful

lunch in the cave-like dining room of an old hotel.

It is hard to imagine being comfortable in a room that probably seats a thousand, but the real magic of

the place is its wonderful setting. Every comer is a wood and stone masterpiece, with high glass windows

that look out to the huge cliffs of the valley.

A man entered with his family and took a seat. He wasn't in uniform, but he walked with the dignity

of a soldier, and a slight limp(

瘸

). My suspicion was confirmed when he removed his hat and placed it on

the table where I could see it. Embroidered(

绣

) on the cap were the words:

“

Iwo Jima Survivor

”

.

As

they

were

waiting

for

lunch,

the

others

talking

happily,

this

gentleman

was

stating

out

of

the

window.

He

was

content

to

be

left

out

of

the

conversation

and

allowed

to

take

in

the

wonderful

and

impressive view of the waterfall.

I watched him, and imagined how much horror he had seen in the war. What losses did he suffer, and

how many friends did he lose? What he had witnessed should have given him a good reason to lose faith in

the

world.

Yet

this

tired

soldier

was

smiling

at

the

sky,

at

the

sun

and

the

roaring

of

the

waterfall.

Somehow, after everything, the world was still beautiful to him.

I walked over to him and said,

“

Excuse me, sir. I

’

m sorry to interrupt, but I saw your hat, and I just

wanted to say thank you for serving.

”

He looked up at me, surprised, and said proudly,

“

You

’

re welcome, and thank you, too.

”

I told him I would go home and tell my children about this experience that I'd met him.

24. The place where the author enjoyed lunch was ______.

A. only open to people of the upper classes

B. once visited by many famous people

C. attractive because of its beautiful surroundings

D. modeled on scenes from American history

(

the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Cup, China won the FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Cup.

This year, the World Cup has been played across different cities, and Team China had training sessions

even on traveling days when some participating teams chose to rest up after a tiring flight. “Coach Lang

focuses on details of the technique in the training sess

ions, and I feel our team has become more balanced.”

Captain Zhu Ting said. This firm approach explains how China managed to turn the table against the United

States at the World Cup. Never giving up, especially in adversity, that’s what the spirit of Chinese women’s

volleyball means.

When the team struggled, Zhu was always there, doing whatever was needed to carry the team forward.

time, but the craving for championships and the steely desire and determination remain the same.

staff. Lai was one of the members. Shouldering responsibilities as both vice director of China’s Volleyball

Management Center and as assistant coach. Apart from coordinating between coaches and players, Chinese

coaches and foreign coaches and sometimes within Chinese coaches, she also has to do chores. During Rio

2016, assistant coach Yuan Lingxi headed for the arena(

竞技场

) at 6 am every day to film the matches and

would return to the Olympic Village at 2 am when he would start analyzing China’s opponents and file

reports. There are many Lais and Yuans that are not known by the public, but who remain indispensable for

the team to overcome difficulties and reach their peak.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(

打瞌睡

)

—

if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(

褪黑激素

), which has been

proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety(

焦虑

). The study, by researchers from Seoul, South

Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder(

奶粉

) made from cows milked both during the day

and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active

and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in

The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,

taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who have trouble falling asleep at night.

Previous(

以前的

) studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the

calcium content, which helps people to relax.

32. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.

Japan’s famously diligent workers

spend more hours at the office than employees in almost any other

country. Authorities have a message: Stay home

36

. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to

attend Olympic and Paralympic events in Tokyo during the 2020 Games, putting additional pressure on the

city’s already notoriously crowded commuter routes. Officials also hope that promoting working from home

during the Games will encourage a more easy-going approach in a country known for its cases of karoshi, or

death from overwork.

On July 22, one year before the Games, Tokyo rolled out a month-

long “Telework Days” campaign,

with government offices and private businesses committing to avoiding peak commuting hours.

37

.

The government has been urging employers to be more flexible, hoping to help parents and others caring for

elderly relatives to better balance their work and home responsibilities. Officials hope the campaign will

show firms that employees can actually “work even more effectively” when they stay home.
