21、In college, Spring Break （春假）is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy （识字）, homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.
In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.
Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”
The Program began in 1991.Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.

22、When ten-year-old Reese Osterberg lost her Fresno County, California, home to one of the largest wildfires in state history early last fall, she had a very pressing concern: did anyone grab her baseball cards?
No one had. With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farm’s worth of horses to evacuate, the family forgot the cards during the stress. Naturally, the diehard (顽固的) San Francisco Giants and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out each player’s card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuff — doing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.
Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.
Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 in his collection, with an exact value of 35,000 to 50,000. Ashford had been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire department’s post. “I wasn’t really doing anything with them,” said Ashford,“I thought I could take care of this problem rather quickly.”
First volunteers transported the cards from Ashford’s garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour of the firehouse. Towers of Ashford’s cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by California’s Creek Fire.
She’s gotten so many, in fact, that she started Cards From Reese, an organization that collects cards and donates them to those in need. Reese is especially happy to part with Los Angeles Dodgers cards. As she explains it: “Go Giants!”

23、Many people think daydreaming is bad for their emotions and has negative effects on their life and those around them. It makes adapting to life very hard and brains work less effectively.
Contrary to common ideas, the brains of people who are daydreaming might not stop working, but may be working harder, new research has shown. Scientists scanned the brains of people lying inside magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, as they pushed buttons or rested in turn. The scans showed that the “default (默认的) network” deep inside a human brain becomes more active during daydreaming.
In a surprise finding, the scans also showed strong activity in the executive network, the outlying region of the brain associated with complex problem-solving, says Professor Kalina Christoff, who is a co-author of the study. “People assume that when the mind wanders away, it just gets turned off—but we show the opposite. When it wanders, it is turned on.” says Christoff.
The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest, “People who let themselves daydream might not think in the same focused way as when performing a goal-oriented task, but they bring in more mental and brain resources,” says Christoff.
F. Diane Barth said at Psychology Today that the more we daydream, the more our brain is able to hold onto the task when we are being bombarded (轰炸) from all sides by all kinds of noises, information input, and conflicting demands. You're not trying to escape the task at hand; rather, you're trying to get rid of all of the information and stimuli (刺激物) that could pose as bothers.
According to Christoff, people typically spend one third of their waking time daydreaming. “It is a big part of our lives, but it has been largely ignored by science,” she says. “The study is the first to use MRIs to study brain activity during spontaneous thoughts and subjective experiences. Until now the only way is to use self-reports that are not always reliable.”
【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Scientists.
B．Scans.
C．MRI machines.
D．Study subjects.
【2】The findings by Christoff show daydreaming ________.
A．may help us get relaxed
B．may be beneficial to our health
C．may use less energy than focusing
D．may help us arrive at solutions faster
【3】Which of the following may Barth agree with?
A．Daydreaming provides us with many stimuli.
B．Daydreaming is actually an act of concentration.
C．Daydreaming can make us forget unhappy things.
D．Daydreaming reminds us of more useful information.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．MRIs are reliable to study brain activity.
B．People should spend more time daydreaming.
C．More studies about daydreaming need to be done.
D．People should make full use of daydreaming time.
24、In today’s day and age of one click purchases and immediately accessible information, instant gratification (满足) is seen as the norm. The always — on world, with smartphones and Wi-Fi, reinforces that you have to get what you want right away. But instant gratification isn’t always best in fact, impulse control is an essential life skill. When it comes to achieving your goals, delayed gratification is the skill that will get you there faster.
The truth is, it’s not realistic to get everything you want, much less get it immediately. Instant gratification is actually a source of frustration — it creates false expectations. By learning to employ delayed gratification, you buy time to strategize thoughtfully and learn from your failures.
Delayed gratification means resisting the temptation of an immediate reward, in anticipation that there will be a greater reward later. Those with high impulse control typically excel at delayed gratification.
According to Freud’s “pleasure principle”, humans are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. This is why children seek instant gratification. But as we mature, this desire is tempered by the “reality” principle, or the ability of humans to consider risks versus rewards, by which we’re able to delay fulfillment instead of making a poor decision — especially if the later reward is greater than the one we’d get immediately.
The ability to hold out now for a better reward later allows you to save money for a vacation, skip dessert to lose weight or take a job you don’t love but that will help your career later on.
In the 1960s, Stanford professor Walter Mischel tested hundreds of young children by placing each child in a private room, accompanied only by a single candy placed on the table. Researchers then offered each child a deal: If the child refrained from eating the candy while researchers briefly left the room, the child would be rewarded with a second one; otherwise there would be no second one. Some children ate the first candy immediately. Others tried to restrain themselves but eventually gave in. Only a few children managed to hold out for the two-candy reward.
Researchers followed the experiment participants into adulthood over a span of 40 years. Unlike the children giving in to temptation, the children who delayed their reward were far more successful in almost all areas of life. They scored higher on standardized tests, were healthier, responded better to stress, had fewer substance abuse issues and demonstrated better social skills. This delayed gratification example proved that it is crucial to success in almost every facet of life.

【4】Why did researchers test children with a single candy in the 1960s?

B．To teach them the concept of delayed gratification.
C．To understand how the children dealt with stress.

【5】The author uses the delayed gratification example to show that _________.
A．it is important to consider risks and rewards
B．it is crucial to success in almost every aspect of life
