21、If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised．They are a flash mob （快闪族）, which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break up．They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network．At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions（消遣） such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive．Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason．
Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003 - after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store．Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters （起时髦的人）, and call attention to the cultural atmosphere．
Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people．Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place．Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction．They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product．
The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular．People use it to do many things．For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him．Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song "Beat It" together．Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory．

22、 More than half of UK parents believe sunglasses should become an official part of school uniform, a study has found.
A study of 1,000 parents with children aged 4-12 found 72 percent worried about protecting their child's eyes from the sun. However, only 3 in 10 sent their child to school with sunglasses every time it was sunny. One-quarter even said their child was forbidden by their school from wearing sunglasses on school grounds.
A spokesperson for Monkey Monkey Sunglasses, which commissioned （委 托）the study, said, "Parents are consistently telling us that their children are more likely to wear sunglasses on holiday or to leisure activities than at school. We just want parents to be aware that the midday and afternoon sun can be equally strong in the school playground, on the school sports field, or on the walk home from school, as it is on the beach. Wearing hats and staying in the shade during these times help reduce UV exposure, but are not a substitute for wearing sunglasses with full UVA and UVB protection, because UV rays reflect through cloud cover and reflect off a variety of surfaces."
Researchers also found only 16 percent of those polled said their children always wear sunglasses on a sunny day and one in four said their child does not currently own a pair of sunglasses.
Parents of children who rarely or never wear sunglasses said their kids find them uncomfortable to wear and avoid them if they can. However, 57 percent who have bought their children sunglasses checked the glasses for their UV protection rating before making the purchase. When asked about their knowledge surrounding surfaces which reflect and increase UV radiation, 61 percent of parents who took part in the study, correctly said that snow reflected UV rays. One in four identified concrete surfaces and 56 percent pointed to water as a key reflector of UV rays.
Monkey Monkey's spokesperson added, "Estimates suggest that up to 80 percent of a person's lifetime exposure to UV is received before the age of 18, when children's eyes are also not yet fully developed. For these two reasons it is vital to protect young eyes from sun exposure at an early age."
【1】According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____.
A.most parents questioned in a survey worried about protecting their child's eyes from the sun
B.some children were not allowed to wear sunglasses on school grounds
C.children were believed to wear sunglasses more often after school
D.parents only 3 in 10 sent their child to school with sunglasses in all kinds of weather
【2】What can we infer from the text?
A.All parents prefer to wear sunglasses.
B.The study was carried out for a sunglasses company.
C.Concrete surfaces and water are reflectors of UV rays.
D.Children's eyes are not full-grown before the age of 18.
【3】Who may be the target readers of this text?
A.Holiday makers. B.Sunglasses makers.
C.Policy makers. D.Film makers.
【4】What's the best title for the passage?
A.Should Sunglasses Be Part of School Uniform?
B.Why Should Parents Buy Sunglasses for Kids?
C.How to Choose Suitable Sunglasses for Kids?
D.New Fashion in School — Sunglasses
23、It was a pleasant surprise to learn this week that three large poultry companies had greatly reduced their use of antibiotics in healthy chickens, a move that could help slow the appearance of antibiotic resistance in bacteria that cause diseases in humans. Other companies ought to follow the lead of these pioneers, and Congress ought to ban the use of medically important antibiotics in animal husbandry except to cure sick animals.
Strong action is needed because many germs that infect humans are growing resistant to treatment with antibiotics. Such resistance occurs unavoidably over time as antibiotic kills off vulnerable strains of a germ and leaves only the more resistant strains to multiply. But in recent decades the growth of resistance has been increased by overuse of antibiotics in agriculture, where companies routinely use the drugs to promote growth on less feed and to prevent disease in healthy animals. As a result, some germs that infect both animals and humans have become resistant to antibiotics, and even germs that do not infect humans are capable of transferring their antibiotic-resistance genes to germs that do.
That is why the report in Sunday's Times by Marian Burros was so encouraging. She found that three poultry companies that produce a third of the chickens consumed by Americans each year - Foster Farms, Perdue Farms and Tyson Foods — have greatly reduced the use of antibiotics in healthy chickens and are using them primarily to treat sick chickens.
There is no reason that other poultry producers could not do the same, and probably the pork and beef industries as well. It is unacceptable that any industry should use medically important antibiotics for the economic purpose of fostering growth. Congress and the Food and Drug Administration need to restrain the use of animal antibiotics that are related to human medicines.
【1】it can be inferred from the first paragraph that _________ .
A．three poultry companies are forced to use fewer antibiotics
B．other companies have followed the practice of the pioneers
C．antibiotic resistance in bacteria may result in human disease
D．antibiotics are never needed in whatever kind of situations
【2】According to the second paragraph, the overuse of antibiotics _________ .
A．is insignificant in disease prevention
B．is unavoidable in the poultry industry
C．decreases bacteria resistant to the antibiotics
D．threatens the effectiveness of related medicines
【3】Why does the author mention Marian Burros' report?
A．To illustrate how the three poultry companies use antibiotics
B．To emphasize the functions of antibiotics in animal husbandry
C．To show the author's prediction of the future use of antibiotics
D．To represent the decline in antibiotics use in the poultry industry
【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “restrain” in Paragraph 4?
A．increase
B．limit
C．promote
D．restore
【5】What is the author's attitude to the use of antibiotics to make profit?
A．Intolerable
B．Favorable
C．Neutral
D．Ambiguous
24、 Several days ago, a 28-year-old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water.【1】The contest was held by a local radio show and its organizers promised a free Wii video game machine to the contestant who drank the most water.
It was estimated that the woman who died drank approximately two gallons of water during the contest.【2】This information is particularly important for parents to pass on to their children. Foolish water-drinking contests are not uncommon among high school and university students, especially while playing cards.
【3】The answer to this question depends on your unique circumstances, including your diet, exercise habits, and environment. If you eat plenty of foods that are naturally rich in water, such as vegetables and fruits, you may not need to drink very much water at all. If you do not use much salt, your need for drinking water goes down even further.
Regardless of what your diet looks like, if you sweat on a regular basis because of exercise or a warm climate, you will need to supply your body with more water (through foods and/or liquids) than someone who does not sweat regularly.【4】However, some people don’t believe that it is a reliable indicator of how much water you need, as many people suffer with symptoms related to dehydration (脱水) and don’t seem to feel a need to drink water on a regular basis.
The main idea that I wish to share through this article is that it is not wise to drink several glasses of water per day without considering your diet, exercise habits, climate, and sense of thirst.【5】Remember, don’t drink too much water in a short period of time.
A. Then why do we need water in our daily life?
B. It shows us that drinking too much water can be very dangerous.
C. Then how much water should you think to best support your health?
D. Ultimately, the best guidance I can provide on this issue is to follow your sense of thirst.
E. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest.
F. And when you find yourself in need of water, you can get it from liquids and/or foods.
G. If you ask people if they would like a glass of water, they will almost always realize they are indeed thirsty.
