21、 It doesn’t take a lot to live a healthy live. That parents often have family meals with their children ranks first.
A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E.
During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.
When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of school-aged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.
When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.
Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.
Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary-building words to help them read and communicate better.
Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better self-esteem（自尊）. In conclusion, family meals are very important.

22、A severe drought (干旱) has caused water levels in Southeast Asia's Mekong River to drop to their lowest in more than 100 years. It may have harmful effects on fish, as well as the tens of millions of people living and working along the river, experts warn.
This year, the dry conditions in the Mekong region happened due to warm Pacific Ocean-currents (洋流) known as the El Nino effect. But climate change is also a driving factor, experts say, causing the monsoon (季风) season to shorten sharply. The situation was made worse by water dam operators upstream, withholding water for their own purposes.
Many rice farmers in the area have been unable to plant their main crop, raising fears of a heavily decreased harvest this fall. Less water flow could also have a bad influence on fish reproduction in the Mekong River basin. This is normally the time when fish use rising water levels to reproduce their young, but there is little sign of this happening so far this year.
Perhaps even more alarming, experts expect that droughts and damage to the water flow of the Mekong will become more common, and they warn that it could eventually destroy the entire ecosystem.
Starting from the Tibetan highlands, the Mekong River flows through six Asian countries, including China, Myanmar, Thaland, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, before emptying into the South China Sea. The river basin is home to the largest inland fishery in the world and more than 60 million people depend on it to make a living.
Few rivers in the world rise and fall with the seasons as much as the Mekong, which can drop up to 40 feet in some places at the end of the dry season. When the monsoon rains arrive, they normally produce a flood that brings with it sediments (沉积物) to agriculture as well as enormous amounts of larvae (幼虫) and tiny fish, including many endangered species, such as the Mekong giant catfish, that are swept into the Tonle Sap Lake where they can grow.
【1】How many reasons are there for the drought of Mekong River this year?
A．One
B．Two
C．Three
D．Four
【2】What can we know from the passage?
A．Droughts are likely to happen more frequently in the future.
B．The water levels of the Mekong River is becoming lower and lower
C．The Mekong River starts from the Tibetan highlands and ends in the Tonle Sap Lake.
D．The harvest of fish in the river hasn't been greatly affected because of the droughts.
【3】What's the attitude of experts to water flow of Mekong River in future?
A．Positive
B．Unconcerned
C．Worried.
D．Negative
【4】In which magazine can we most probably find this passage?
A．National Geography
B．Scientific American
C．Overseas English
D．Tourism
23、There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting.
