Walking into the on-campus barbershop, the student customers will be greeted by Alexander
Garcia with clippers in hand, a harber chair, a full professional clipping set, and customers
chatting about Ozzy's latest DJ set in the background
Garcia started cutting hair during his junior year of high school. He spent his time learning
from barber videos by 360Jeery on YouTube about different hair styles. That learning took trial
and error, and he spent his time practicing on his younger cousin, but he never intended it to be a
business.
He came into college as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major and spent his time in
the students associations, working as a part-time DJ. His journey of cutting hair on campus began
in the second year, with mainly roommates and close friends coming in for a cut and a chat, but
his hobby fully developed into CutzbyOzzy earher this year. Barbens in the city are expensive, he
noticed, especially for college students, which pushed him to expand his hobby to a private
business.
Garcia is busy, with appointments made usually a week in advance. Customers can pay $18
for a full haircut and $5 for a line-up. His business grows mostly through the word-of-mouth of his
customers, who are mainly first-years. Seeing that most of the customers are freshmen, I like to
give them advice, try to expiain my own experience and promote student organizations because I
feel that enhances my experience, he said. I lead them through things I encounter on the way--
internships(实习),scholarships, job opportunities, and questions.
To Garcia, it’s about creating the feel of walking into an actual barbershop; it's about offering
instructions and friendship to his customers. He's found over time that these students start
breaking out of their shells and coming to him with their problems.
I can just never stay put, he said. I always like to try different things in different fields.
Apart from being an engineer, the barbershop is truly my life.
24. What inspired Garcia to start his barbershop business?
5
A. His hobby as a part-time DJ. B.The real demand from his friends.
B. The high cost of haircut in the city. D.His barbering experience in high school.
25. What helps Garcia's business grow?
A.Discounts for the freshmen. B.Recommendation by customers.
C.Advertisements via social media. D. Partnership with local barbershops.
26.How does Garcia distinguish from other barbers in the city?
A.He keeps his burbershop better-equipped
B.He provides a wider selection of hairstyles.
C.He shares more practical guidance for students.
D.He introduces more job opportunities to graduates.
27. Which of the following can best describe Garcia?
A.Ambitious and adventurous. B. Multitalented and supportive,
C.Knowledgeable and intelligent. D. Business-minded and fame-seeking.

Feeling down about money? Do you know you could have thousands of pounds worth of
junk hiding in your drawers? Well, here's some fantastic news to brighten your day: your
unwanted tech could be a goldmine, with potential earrings ranging from 1,300 to 6,330.That's
right - that neglected hairdryer, forgotten electric toothbrush, or unused smartphone sitting in your
cupboard could be your ticket to some extra holiday cash, a dream summer vacation, or a special
weekend treat!
Recent research from Recycle Your Electricals reveals a shocking 880 million unused
working electrical items gathering dust in UK households, averaging 31 items per household. The
potential earnings? A suriprising 36.7 billion for older, lower, and unbranded items and an
astonishing 178.5 billion for newer, higher branded items. It's an incredible new opportunity!
It's not just about making money; selling your old electricals is also great for the planet.
Waste electricals are the fastest growing e-wastc stream, with few people realising that they
contain some of the most precious materials on the planet, like gold, aluminium and lithium. So
whether you choose to sell or donate your working items, or you recycle the broken ones, it's
going to be good for the environment.
It's time to unlock that money. Start by taking stock of all your electricals and research their
6
market value by considering factors like brand, age, and condition. Wipe down surfaces, remove
dust, and ensure everything is in working order. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words -
a detailed description with high-quality photos speaks louder. Select the platform that suits your
item and target audience. Above all, security first. Ensure all personal data are securely wiped. If
meeting in person, choose a safe, public location. Alternatively,use secure shipping methods with
tracking for added peace of mind.
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. The wealth from junk is often overlooked
B. People often put plenty of cash in the drawers.
C.The potential earnings from wastes are worth a goldmine.
D. Electricals are likely to break down if not used frequently.
29. What can the e-waste be used for according to the text?
A. Repair work, B. Metal extraction. C.Data security. D.Scientific research.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Methods of saving money. B. Ways to promote online sales.
C. Procedures of online shopping. D. Steps to profit from used electricals.
31. What's the author's writing purpose?
A. To offer tips for making a fortune.
B. To warn against e-waste pollution.
C. To increase the purchase of new electricals.
D. To advocate recycling economically and environmentally.

In an incrensingly fast-paced world that rewards immediacy, urgency culture makes it hard to
tell what is truly important and what is not. At work, this could involve handling frequent last-
minute requests, unrealistic deadlines, and the expectation to be reachable even after hours. In
personal life, behaviour patterms of urgency culture include overextending in relationships,
frequently checking social media updates out of fear of missing out, and responding immediately
to calls and texts, even when it 's inconvenient.
The constant rush to be “always on professionally and personally can create stress. Being
part of the always on culture often involves multitasking. However, research shows every time
7
we multitask, it actually slows the brain down and may reduce productivity by up to 40 percent.
Meanwhile, constant overstimulation - a significant contributor to urgency culture - will debilitate
your dopamine(多巴胺)system. In short, the more overstimulated you are, the less joy you can
feel. Over time, urgency culture can also be harmful to physical health. A false sense of urgency
tricks the body into reacting as if it' s in a threatening situation, activating the fight-or- flight”
response. Your breathing becomes faster, your blood pressure and heart rate go up, and you lose
the ability to regulate emotions, and an overactive fight-or-fight response contributes to high blood
pressure, poor quality of sleep and eating disorders.
To avoid the urgency trap, experts recommend pausing for a few moments before leaping
into action every time something comes up. It allows you to step back and assess whether this
demand for your attention is in line with your priorities. Setting clear expectations in personal and
professional relationships can also help plan, prioritize and problem-solve without causing false
urgency. The best thing you can do to deal with urgency calture is to regularty engage in activities
that remind you there is no rush.
32. Which of the following can be described as urgency culture according to paragraph1?
A.Focusing on important matters. B.Finishing work before deadline.
C.Giving everything high priority. D.Maintaining useful relationships.
33.How does multitasking influence people according to the author?
A. It contributes to their work efficiency.
B. They may feel under constant pressure.
C. It helps to slow down their working pace.
D.Their sense of achievement will decrease.
34.What does the underlined word debilitate in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Weaken, B.Balance. C.Activate. D. Divide.
35.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. The Power of Rush: The Secret to Modern Success
B.Stay Well-connected: The New Path to Personal Productivity
C.No Pressure,NoGrowth: Boosting Yourself in Ungency Culture
D.More Haste, Less Speed: Breaking Free From the Always-on Tmp
