21、 Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do.
Once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it “What is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversation?”
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy chain (花) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!” (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket, or a watch to take out of it. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled “ORANGE MARMALADE”, but to her disappointment it was empty; she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so she managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
“Well!” thought Alice to herself, “after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs.
How brave they’ll all think of me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!” (Which was very likely true.)
Down, down, down. Would the fall NEVER come to an end!

23、Sixty-six-year-old Atsuko Oyama shares a goal held by many people a half-century younger. She wants to get 100 kills in the first-person shooter videogame “Apex Legends”.
True, she’s a little rusty (生疏的), having last fought against digital enemies in a “Space Invaders” shooting game sometime in the latter part of the 20th century. But after joining Japan’s first senior esports team in September, Ms. Oyama achieved 10 kills in a month and feels her enthusiasm growing. “Watching others play. I thought I couldn’t do it,” said the retired receptionist. “But I didn’t like to be left behind, so I decided to come here at least twice, and now I am into it.”
Esports promoters who have seen Japan fall behind powerhouses in videogame competitions think the senior market might be the way to catch up. And if the over-65 set feels a little more energized after shooting a few rival enemies, so much the better.
Japan is the world’s oldest nation, but its efforts to boost the size of its younger population have been mostly unsuccessful. It is, however, at the forefront of initiatives to keep old people thinking younger.
Ms. Oyama, whose player name is Mama, tried out for the team known as the Matagi Snipers after her daughter saw an ad recruiting players. The Matagi Snipers, named for a traditional group of bear hunters in northern Japan, have been practicing since September at their home base in northern Akita county. With an average age of 68, the 14-person team hopes eventually to compete in professional tournaments in first-person shooter titles such as “Apex Legends” and “Fortnite”.
Coach “Lemon” motivates his team by telling them age is an advantage. He thought, there is a huge difference in social experience between people who have lived only 20 years versus 60 years. While younger players tend to be more violent, older players can communicate better and lean on teamwork.
【1】Which of the following best describes Atsuko Oyama?
A.Ambitious and creative.
B.Diligent and enthusiastic.
C.Intelligent and responsible.
D.Independent and cooperative.
【2】Why do the seniors play videogames according to the passage?
A.The junior population has been decreasing recently.
B.The seniors are likely to make a greater achievement.
C.The seniors may make up for the loss of Esports market.
D.The youngsters are not keen on it because of heavy burden.
【3】What mainly contributes to the seniors’ success in the game?
A.Efficient cooperation.
B.Sufficient leisure time.
C.Highly focused attention.
D.Previous gaming experience.
【4】What is author’s attitude toward the senior videogaming?
A.Supportive.
B.Negative.
C.Indifferent (不关心的).
D.Objective.
24、 For decades, television networks have produced no shortage of entertaining shows featuring food. The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it’s recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage (专访) of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.
One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix series, Chef’s Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode (一集) to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef’s tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new “progressive American” style of cooking.
Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they’ve come out of. They combine their culture’s traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture’s expectation for eating.
Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear: Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef’s restaurant by saying “Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food”.
