21、The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行词). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called "click bait".
A headline on Businesslnsider.com reads: "This phrase will make you seem more polite". First, when you click through, you find another headline: "Four words to seem more polite." Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're "Wow, that sounds hard." On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus". Turns out it's just some uneventful dog footage (镜头).
Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.
Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click-saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted "So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but...", with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: "... it hasn't been jailbroken yet."
Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131,000 followers. Beckman said that @SavedYouAClick is…"just my way of trying to help the Internet be less temble." Asked about his goal, he said, "I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.

【2】Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?
A. Social media has become more popular.
B. Readers have questions to be solved.
C. Such headlines are fairly attractive.

【3】Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ___
A. criticize CNET
B. save readers' time
C. advertise apple's new product

【4】In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that _____
A. publishers be more responsible for the link
B. readers think about their needs before reading
C. publishers provide more information for readers
D. people work together to make the Internet less temble
22、A few years ago, I was leaving the kennel (养狗场) where I worked, only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway. The kennel’s owners are known animal rescuers and I figured someone outside dumped him over the fence.
I’m an animal lover and I’ve brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens and fish, but never goats. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite special. When he was about a week old, I tapped my fingers on the bathroom floor and said, “Lie down.” I was amazed when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.
A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up,” and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his brothers and sisters. He knows the name of everything I feed him — apples, water, carrots, and strawberries.
I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd.
Now he has a whole inventory: He’ll shake hooves (蹄), come when called, walk on a rope, wave, smile for the camera, and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “read” his tricks off cue cards (提示板), which always earns the most applause.
It’s hard to believe that the goat kid nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I’ve ever had.
【1】What can we learn about the baby goat from Paragraph 1?
A．He was injured.
B．He was sold.
C．He was deserted.
D．He was mistreated.
【2】What made the author decide to bring the baby goat home?
A．His affection for the little goat.
B．The request of the kennel’s owner.
C．The advice of his friends.
D．His strong desire to keep a pet.
【3】What does the author think of Quincy?
A．Faithful and shy.
B．Strong and aggressive.
C．Hardworking and brave.
D．Intelligent and obedient.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Quincy: A Poor Creature
B．Quincy: The Show Goat
C．Quincy: My Best Friend
D．Quincy: A Special Trainer
23、Simple Ways to Easily Solve A Problem
We face problems everyday of our lives. Many times these problems can actually be an opportunity in disguise. Solving problems can be broken down into steps that will make solving the issue at hand much easier.【1】
Identify the real problem. Often people think of a problem in terms of its consequences. You really have to dig to the root of the issues. If your problem is that you can’t make ends meet every month, you need to find why you lack funds.【2】You spend too much or something worse like a gambling addiction. Whatever the source is, that is what you need to fix.
Focus on solutions. Once you have identified the real problem, it is time to come up with a list of solutions. Most of the time there is more than one way to attack a problem.【3】You can always ask others for their suggestions. Once you have a good list of solutions you can weigh the pros and cons of each one.
【4】When you ask others for suggestions make sure that they are people who you really trust. It is also best if they share the same value system as you. This ensures that your problem is kept confidential and any advice you get is in line with your belief system.
Make a decision, Once you find a solution that provides the best long term outcome, you have to make the decision and follow through.【5】If things do not turn out as you had planned, do not beat yourself up. You put time and thought into your decision and that shows character.

24、 Strawberry (草莓) fields dotted with hunched-over workers picking and packaging, then pushing the delicate red fruit to waiting trucks — it is a typical winter scene embedded in the patchwork of homes and farms that make up eastern Hillsborough County.
That scene is changing, though, as the labor pool shrinks and technology comes knocking. Wish Farms owner Gary Wishnatzki and his engineer partner Bob Pitzer are banking on technology.
As strawberry season wrapped up in February, their driverless strawberry-picking machine drove into the fields for some test runs. The results were impressive and enlightening（有启迪作用的）, Wishnatzki said.
For some three years now, farmers have been forced to abandon millions of dollars worth of strawberries in fields, mostly in Hillsborough and Manatee counties, because they lacked laborers, industry experts say. The problem has been just as serious in California, Arizona and other farm communities.
The reasons for the shrinking worker pool are numerous. Migrant（移民）workers who have picked the fields for years are aging. Young adults in migrant families already in the United States are getting better educations and have more choices these days, including the construction industry, which again is on the upswing. Stricter security is allowing fewer undocumented workers to cross the border from Mexico. And Mexicans are having much smaller families now — just over two children per family, compared with 7.3 per family in 1960, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report released in 2012.
And since Mexico’s economy bounced back faster than that of the U.S., more Mexicans have been able to find work closer to home, according to the study.
“We came up with a concept we perceive as a necessity,” Wishnatzki said. “The labor pool has been shrinking for over 10 years now. It has been pretty harmful.” So in 2012, he and Pitzer formed their partnership, Harvest CROO Robotics, to develop a mechanical picker.
The Harvest CROO design has multiple picking heads that will move across a field, picking 25 acres over a three-day period, the typical time for picking fruit as it ripens. It has a “vision system” to distinguish between red and green strawberries and is able to get under the leaves to find and pick the ripe berries.
Picking strawberries is nothing like using a combine on a corn field, coming through and thrashing down the plants. Strawberries are delicate and ripen in various intervals, which Harvest CROO is taking into account in developing its machine.
A strawberry-picking machine will never completely replace the need for human labor in the fields, Wishnatzki said, but if the machines can supplement（补充）labor enough to keep the industry profitable, he and Pitzer will have met their goal.
