Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class.

An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.

“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.

“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”

“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.

Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.

Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.

“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents，

“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”

“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

2 . I was waiting in a checkout line. A woman and two boys were ahead of me. At the cash desk, a white-haired man had begun to _________ his goods. Then came the question.

8 . Google Cloud is racing to roll out new features and services aimed at helping its customers maintain business during the coronavirus pandemic, including a new security product expected to launch Tuesday. The new security product includes technology that could attract more businesses, especially those in highly regulated industries, to adopt cloud services. The technology protects data while it is being processed. “We wanted people comfortable in knowing they can move to the cloud and don’t have to worry about the security of their data,” said Mr. Kurian, chief executive of the unit.

Google Cloud accelerated the development of several features for its virtual meeting product, Google Meet, in April, including one that automatically filters out background noises such as keystrokes and dog barks. Another feature automatically adjusts a user’s video with lighting variations. In 2018, the company launched an AI tool for manufactures that automatically inspects products for quality.

Google Cloud also benefited from the protocols(协议) for Black Friday, when shopping websites see a rush of online shoppers, to deal with sudden more demand for cloud services. The protocols benefited the customers in online videogames, government services, education and shopping, who needed assistance in more computing capacity.

Also, the protocols benefited many companies. Godbole, chief information officer for home improvement company Lowe’s Cos., worked with Mr. Kurian and his team in March and April to manage increased business. Lowe’s customers were doubling on projects such as those related to home offices during those months, and “Our company saw tremendous demand,” Ms. Godbole said.

The coronavirus pandemic presented a new opportunity for Google Cloud to prove its value for customers, said Plummer, chief of research for cloud computing. “Google Cloud aims to differentiate itself by being known as a provider that can handle unpredictable events,” Mr. Plummer said. It aims to do that by offering secure remote-work tools and software development tools that require minimal coding. “Trust is built in times of crisis,” he said.

1. During the coronavirus pandemic, Google Cloud is working hard to ________.

A．start more highly regulated businesses.

B．help customers to save more money.

C．make people move to the cloud more safely.

D．remove data while it is being processed.

2. What does the underlined phrase “filters out” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Produces.

B．Breaks.

C．Matches.

D．Removes.

3. Why does the author mention Ms. Godbole’s company?

A．To show the market needs the new products of Google Cloud.

B．To share the experience of Ms. Godbole’s company.

C．To offer an example of running a company in times of crisis.

D．To encourage people to follow the step of Godbole.

4. What does Mr. Plummer think of the new service of Google Cloud?

A．Insufficient.

B．Reliable.

C．Unpredictable.

D．Complex.

9 . How many books have you finished since high school? Between study, work, family, and social lives, trying to find time to read can require more effort than a relaxing hobby. How to fit books into your tight schedule?     1    

Borrow more books than you can consume. Libraries have extremely large “limits” on items you can check out.     2     Return anything you don’t get to. Some of the most efficient readers I’ve talked to return five out of six books unread. This is not something to feel guilty about.

    3     If you have a whole morning to read, you might want some variety. People who read a lot have something going to satisfy all appetites.

Try the 50-page rule. If you feel you have to finish all the books you start, you may get caught up on something boring and not read again for weeks.     4     You’ll find something else you love more soon.

Ignore any thoughts about what you “should” be reading. It is OK if you won’t make it through a lot of the world’s great literature. Read what you want.     5     If you’re only reading because you “should” read, then over time, reading will drop from the top of your list down to laundry level or going to the dentist.

A．Read more than one book at a time.

B．Humans don’t do well with suffering long term.

C．You may have trouble deciding what to read first.

D．So go crazy and grab anything that looks interesting.

E．Quit after a few dozen pages if you’re not feeling it.

F．Reading is one of the most pleasurable activities out there.

G．Here’s how to make more time for your favorite page-turners.
