21、Scientists may have evidence that our personality plays into our eating habits. People who are open and extroverted (外向的) eat more fruits and vegetables than others, according to new research.
The new report, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, analyzed the eating habits of more than 1,000 young adults ages 17 to 25. Researchers gave participants a test to measure for the “Big Five” personalities: openness to experience, conscientiousness (尽责性), extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (神经质). Then they asked some participants to keep a food diary for 21 days and others for 13 days, in hopes of encouraging more people to complete the task.
Participants who scored higher than average for openness ate about 4.5 more servings of combined fruits and vegetables per week than those less open ones. They also consumed less unhealthy food, such as potato chips or fries. Extroversion also had a positive effect on fruits and vegetable consumption, though not as strongly as openness did, while conscientiousness was a weak predictor of produce consumption.
Of course, the study only found an association between the characteristic and eating habits, rather than a direct causation. It’s likely that people who are open to new experiences take those same attitudes toward food, study author Tamlin Conner, a professor at the University of Otago, told The Huffington Post. Their personality may make them more eager to try new fruits and vegetables. But it’s also possible that eating healthy foods can cause anyone to feel more like an extrovert: Another of Conner’s studies found that in the short term, eating more fruits and vegetables resulted in more feelings of motivation, which she says are key characteristics of extroversion.
So, you want to eat better? Start eating like an open, extroverted person. “Try to take an attitude of openness, especially toward unusual healthy foods,” Conner said. “Go to the store, and pick something new. Practice behaving like an open person.”
【1】What does the new research focus on?
A．Food and health.
B．Personality and health.
C．Eating habits and health.
D．Eating habits and personality.
【2】What do we know about the experiment?
A．It asked participants to share their food diaries.
B．It was carried out among old people.

D．It lasted for a month.
【3】Which of the following would lead you to eat more fruits and vegetables?
A．Openness to experience.
B．Extroversion.
C．Conscientiousness.
D．Agreeableness.
【4】What does Conner suggest?
A．Consulting an extrovert about foods.
B．Making friends with open people.
C．Going on a balanced diet.
D．Trying new healthy foods.

23、 On a bright summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team. As they practice their strokes and cut seconds off of their times, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just health-related. Team sports also help to build many life skills.
The coach of the swim team is Paul Waas. He explains how swim team teaches the team members skills like discipline (纪律) and focus. “I think the discipline comes into play when you’re talking about focusing on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than just going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. So, when you can focus on what you’re doing right and what you can do better, then you’ll see the improvement. I think they see that from their peers and then it challenges them to do better themselves.”
But discipline and focus are just two of the life skills that team sports can teach. There is also responsibility, goal-setting and working within a group.
Again, here is Coach Waas. “I’ve had kids who, as 7-year-olds on the team, could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. And now they’ve come back as 8-year-olds and they’ve set some goals. And now they have things that they want to achieve. They see the record board and they want their name up there.”
These life skills can help a child later in life. An article published in the magazine Fast Company notes reasons why a company should consider employing former athletes. The writers argue that people who played sports in school are: focused on goals, strong communicators, team players, good at managing their time, and resilient-meaning they do not give up when things get difficult.
Some studies have found that team sports could be especially good for women. A series of studies by the company Ernst Young found that 90 percent of women in so-called “C-suite” positions (like chief executive officer, or CEO and chief financial officer, or CFO) at several major companies had played sports.
【1】What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A．Bright summer mornings are perfect for swimming.
B．Swimming can be beneficial to us more than in health.
C．Being admitted to a swimming team can be competitive.
D．Being on a sports team benefits children in many aspects.
【2】Which of the following will Paul Waas agree with?
A．Stress from peers makes kids discouraged.
B．Kids may get inspired by peers’ improvements.
C．Kids can make improvements once they join a team.
D．7-year-old kids in the swimming team can learn nothing.
【3】The author wrote the passage to ________.
A．analyze an upsetting social problem
B．advocate taking up various team sports
C．appeal to readers to care for sports safety
D．share with readers his personal experiences
24、When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing（跟随）my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic（模仿）her mouth's movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men?" At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles（字幕）, for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations - I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.
【1】How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A. It's a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
B. It gave him a chance to experience something special.
C. It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.
D. It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage about the author?
A. He was born deaf.
B. He is optimistic and helpful.
C. His family and classmates have supported him a lot.
D. The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.
【3】What is the author's attitude toward his life？
A. grateful. B. anxious.
C. excited. D. disappointed.
【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?
A. To give advice on life to disabled people.
B. To show how difficult life is for disabled people.
C. To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.
D. To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.
25、Sometimes the world gives us a small sign of encouragement, right when we need it the most.
Murphy lost her parents in her early 20s. Two years ago, she was _________ with finding happiness in her career. During walks on the beach she would talk to her parents in her head, seeking guidance about her career choices. “Since they weren’t with me _________ , I would ask for little signs in the form of heart-shaped rocks. When I would find one, I would feel connected to something outside of myself.” These small _________ made her feel like she wasn’t alone.

That night a friend texted her a picture of a rock and said, “Was this you?” She had _________ Murphy because she knew Murphy walked along that same beach. Murphy was _________ by the way her friend said finding that rock had made her day.
Murphy became hooked on the idea that she could spread happiness through something as _________ as a rock with a message on it. She started leaving rocks in other places. With these rocks, she left a small sign encouraging others to leave a kindness rock somewhere else—“One rock, one person.” Murphy explains. “If a message _________ a person at the right time, or they join, it’s like a huge __________ . It’ what our world needs right now.”
