21、What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

23、A recently published paper finds that following a Mediterranean diet for three weeks can help reduce depression and anxiety among young adults.
In the study, participants in the test group were instructed to eat about six more servings of fruits and vegetables per week, compared with the control group. In addition, they were told to get per week three servings of fish besides three recommended servings per day of whole grains. As for milk, the recommendation was three servings per week, unsweetened. Participants were also asked to consume three tablespoons of nuts and seeds per week, as well as two tablespoons of olive oil per day.
“One of the shortcomings of nutrition science is that it often relies on asking people to recall what they ate and how they felt in the past. Given our failing memories, these data can be unreliable,” says Heather Francis, one of the researchers. “But our study included a device, called spectrophotometer, which can detect the degree of yellowness in the skin, which can precisely monitor the intake of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which the participants get from their food.”
“We have highly consistent and extensive evidence from around the globe linking Mediterranean diets to reduced depression risk,” says Felice Jacka, a professor at Deakin University in Australia who was not involved in the study. “I think the next step is to show how diets can reduce depression.”
However, it’s almost impossible to unravel how diet changes may help improve mental health according to the strict standard in medical research, where participants do not know that they are part of the group assigned to take the medicine or the placebo (安慰剂).
“In a diet study, there’s no way to ‘blind’ the participants so that they don’t know if they’re getting the ‘medicine’ or ‘placebo’,” says Heather Francis. “And research has shown that if people are told that they’re doing something that may make them less depressed, they will indeed report less depression. That’s known as the placebo effect.”
【1】Each day, the young adults following the Mediterranean diet were instructed to eat ________.
A．unsweetened milk and nuts
B．fish and fruits
C．vegetables and whole grains
D．olive oil and seeds
【2】What does the underlined word “unravel” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Notice.
B．Prove.
C．Describe.
D．Ask.
【3】What can we learn from Heather Francis’s words?
A．It is impossible to avoid the placebo effect in his study.
B．Felice Jacka’s comment about his study is very misleading.
C．His testing method is perfect and the conclusion is very reliable.
D．The so-called placebo effect is even unavoidable in medical research.
【4】In which section of a website may this text appear?
A．Entertainment.
B．Lifestyle.
C．Science.
D．Advertisement.
24、Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks（挫折）and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls（陷阱）that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we are seemingly able to have is niggling（烦人的） suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it is easier to just give up. But we are never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It’s the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you are dropping “you”.
So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.
While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually say we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you will be on your way.
【1】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.
A. slow down and live a simple life
B. be careful when we choose to change
C. stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D. be content with what we already have
【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. Escape from your punishment.
B. Realization of your dreams.
C. Freedom from your tension.
D. Reduction of your expectations.
【3】What does the author intend to tell us?
A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.
B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.
D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.
