21、It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.
The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.
San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.
【1】What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?
A. They were treated cruelly.
B. They were abandoned in streets.
C. They received warm welcome.
D. They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.
【2】Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?
A. People should adopt the dogs and cats.
B. Animals are too cruel to humans being.
C. Government can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.
D. It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.
【3】What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. update B. replace
C. post again D. download
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?
A. No Chinese city joins this type of movement.
B. San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.
C. Americans care about animals more than humans.
D. More and more cities are involved in animal rights.

23、Creativity Improves Your Health
Creativity helps us create works of beauty, solve problems, and refresh our bodies and our minds. It’s fun. When you are having fun, you are positively impacting your health. Studies show that engaging in creative behaviors improves brain function, mental health and physical health.
You’ve probably heard of flow — it’s the state you get in when you’re completely absorbed in something. Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time? That’s flow. It reduces anxiety, boosts your mood, and even slows your heart rate.
It’s not just being in flow that makes you happy. Repetitive creative motions like knitting, drawing, or writing help activate flow, and are all tasks that create a result. When you succeed in creating a result, your brain is flooded with dopamine, a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you, whether or not you’re aware of your increased happiness.
Creativity is also an effective treatment for patients with dementia — a serious illness of the mind. Studies show that creative engagement not only reduces depression and isolation, but can also help people with dementia by sharpening their senses.
The average person has about 60,000 thoughts in a day. A creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind, and has even been compared to meditation due to its calming effects on the brain and body. Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine.
Creativity reduces anxiety, depression and stress. Studies have found that writing helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way, and painting or drawing helps people express their mental injury or hurtful experiences that they find too difficult to put into words.
Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function. Writing, a creative work, increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count, the key to your immune system.
Playing music can also function well in your immune system. Studies show that our left brain is responsible for the motor functions, while our right brain focuses on melody. When the two parts work together, our cognitive function improves.
It’s pretty amazing that doing the activities is good for us. Get a pen and start writing or coloring. Get your hands dirty with pottery or gardening or pick up an instrument. Whatever you decide to do, it’s time to start getting creative!
【1】Which situation shows that you are in flow?
A.You are working with a difficult task.
B.You are having a boring repetitive action.
C.You get lost and don’t know where to go.
D.You are absorbed in a work that interests you.
【2】The underlined word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably ________.
A.an awareness of how to be successful
B.a thought having calming effects on the brain
C.an activity to fight against your negative emotions
D.a material for the functioning of the nervous system
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Repetitive actions can cure patients with mental diseases.
B.Creative activities help you build a stronger immune system.
C.Meditation makes your anxiety, depression and stress disappear.
D.Telling others your hurtful experiences helps improve your health.
24、 Festivals are about fun in large helpings(一份食物), and science festivals should be no exception There should be plenty of it at the second Edinburgh Science Festival, which runs from 2 April to 16 April, But there really does seem to be something to cater for all tastes in the impressive listing of more than 300 events.
For starters, what about a tour of tropical crops in the Botanical Gardens- tastes and smells included? You can follow that up with a course of lectures and tastings of Italian food and wine given by the finest Italian delicatessen(熟食) in the country. No trip to Scotland would be complete without a trip to a distillery(酿酒厂) to see how the" water of life" is made.
Besides food and drink "practicals", you can try something in the medicine section.There are also plenty of events designed for kids, such as the Discovery Dome and the "hands on"science tent. OK,you might say, but where is the high-tech physics, the computer science and the space technology? Well, it is all in Edinburgh, but room is unavailable here to list the entire programme: including the daily diary and A map of venues. It covers 20 pages! There is also a host of specialist conferences on a range of topics including statistics, computing and urban planning. The idea seems to be to make Edinburgh a focus of science at all levels during the festival.
The programme of the festival is well arranged and subdivided, making it easy to pick out interesting events to suit your tastes, whatever they may be. Venues and the target audience (children, adults or specialists)are all clearly coded and the maps posted along the road should make it easy to get around.
