22、In stressful times, the art of making people laugh could help to relieve pressure. We all know that laughter is the best medicine. 【1】 It creates physical changes in your body that accelerate healing and protect you from harm. Scientists tell us that people who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and stronger.
If you have trouble seeing the funny side of your own failures, then you might find some useful advice in the story of a friend of mine, who developed an unpleasant reaction to garlic for which his doctor prescribed (开处方) a short course of ointment (药膏) and suppositories (栓剂).
【2】 After a few minutes, the chemist, standing at the far back of the shop, shouted at the top of her voice, “I’ve got your ointment, but I’ll have to order your suppositories!”
Following a short yet strongly uncomfortable silence, she came forwards to the counter and said, “【3】” “Yes, you did,” was my friend’s quiet reply. I asked him how he was able to see the funny side of such an embarrassing incident and he said, “If I was standing in the shop and this had happened to someone else, it would have been funny. 【4】”
Laughing at yourself doesn’t make you a fool. It makes you strong, confident and self-assured. We all make mistakes; we all forget, trip, take wrong turns. 【5】 They cannot learn and will repeat the same mistakes, over and over again.
A．Sorry, I shouted that, didn’t I?
B．Sorry, you didn’t hear what I shouted, did you?
C．So it’s no less funny, just because it happened to me.
D．When someone denies a mistake, they become proud.
E．He took the prescription to the drug store and waited patiently.
F．The feeling you get when you feel bad about a mistake is embarrassment.
G．There is much scientific research proving that laughter does more than cheer you up.
23、Facing water shortages and escalating fertilizer costs, farmers in developing countries are using raw sewage (下水道污水) to irrigate and fertilize nearly 49 million acres of cropland, according to a new report — and it may not be a bad thing.
While the practice carries serious health risks for many, those dangers are outweighed by the social and economic gains for poor urban farmers and consumers who need affordable food. “There is a large potential for wastewater agriculture to both help and hurt great numbers of urban consumers,” said Liqa Raschid-Sally, who led the study.
The report focused on poor urban areas, where farms in or near cities supply relatively inexpensive food. Most of these operations draw irrigation water from local rivers or lakes. Unlike developed cities, however, these areas lack advanced water-treatment facilities, and rivers effectively become sewers (下水道).
When this water is used for agricultural irrigation, farmers risk absorbing disease-causing bacteria, as do consumers who eat the produce raw and unwashed. Nearly 2.2 million people die each year because of diarrhea-related (与腹泻相关的) diseases, according to WHO statistics. More than 80% of those cases can be attributed to contact with contaminated water and a lack of proper sanitation. But Pay Drechsel, an environmental scientist, argues that the social and economic benefits of using untreated human waste to grow food outweigh the health risks.
Those dangers can be addressed with farmer and consumer education, he said, while the free water and nutrients from human waste can help urban farmers in developing countries to escape poverty.
Agriculture is a water-intensive business, accounting for nearly 70% of global fresh water consumption.
In poor, dry regions, untreated wastewater is the only viable irrigation source to keep farmers in business. In some cases, water is so scarce that farmers break open sewage pipes transporting waste to local rivers.
Irrigation is the primary agricultural use of human waste in the developing world. But frequently untreated human waste harvested from lavatories is delivered to farms and spread as fertilizer.
In most cases, the human waste is used on grain crops, which are eventually cooked, minimizing the risk of transmitting water-borne diseases. With fertilizer prices jumping nearly 50% per metric ton over the last year in some places, human waste is an attractive, and often necessary, alternative.
In cases where sewage mud is used, expensive chemical fertilizer use can be avoided. The mud contains the same critical nutrients.
“Overly strict standards often fail,” James Bartram, a WHO water-health expert, said. “We need to accept that fact across much of the planet, so waste with little or no treatment will be used in agriculture for good reason.”
【1】What is the main problem caused by the use of waste water for irrigation?
A．Farmers and consumers may be affected by harmful bacteria.
B．It will make the farm produce less competitive on the market.
C．It will drive producers of chemical fertilizers out of business.
D．Rivers and lakes nearby will gradually become contaminated.
【2】What is environmental scientist Pay Drechsel’s attitude towards the use of untreated human waste in agriculture?
A．Indifferent.
B．Responsible.
C．Favorable.
D．Skeptical.
【3】What does Pay Drechsel think of the risks involved in using untreated human waste for farming?
A．They can be addressed by improved sanitation.
B．They will be minimized with new technology.
C．They have been somewhat exaggerated.
D．They can be dealt with through education.
【4】What do we learn about James Bartram’s position on the use of human waste for farming?
A．He challenges Liqa Raschid-Sally’s conclusion.
B．He deems it indispensable for combating global poverty.
C．He echoes Pay Drechsel’s opinion on the issue.
D．He thinks it the only way out of the current food crisis.
24、Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.
The problems weren’t what I’d expected though. Perry wasn’t being abused by anyone, he didn’t do drugs, and his family wasn’t always arguing. Rather, at first glance, his problems would seem more like typical adolescent complaints. And they were, in a way.
But it was only as I got to understand him that L realized that Perry’s adolescent problems had grown to the point where they cast a large shadow over much of his day - to - day world. And he wasn’t alone in that aspect.
One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”
Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities. Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it. And if he thought about backing off on his schoolwork..., well, look how much his parents were pouring into making it go well. Trapped between anger and guilt, Perry had begun to wither (消沉).
【1】What can we infer about Perry from the text ?
A．His parents understood him completely.
B．He was a perfect young man in every aspect.
C．He often helped his parents with the housework.
D．He was stressed despite his good performance in school.
【2】Why was Perry unhappy ?
A．Because he had to make lists of things to do every day.
B．Because his parents showered him with too much love.
C．Because he had difficulty achieving remarkable academic success.
D．Because he was stuck between his parents’ expectations and his own will
【3】What did Perry think of himself ?
A．He did nothing for his parents.
B．His parents didn’t support him at all.
C．His problem was unusual among his peers.
D．He was gifted enough to enter any university
【4】What is the main purpose of this text ?
A．To try to discover the reason for Perry’s stress.
B．To show a good example of an excellent student.
C．To reflect the problems of all students during school.
D．Toduce Perry’s life and his family background

He said: “Emails can be sent to work colleagues and have much more serious ______, whereas text messages are more likely to be ______ sent to a friend or family member, so people aren't as likely to complain of a problem.”
Dr. Cunnington described sleep texting as the ______ of people having too much to do during waking life. He explained: People are doing so much during a normal day that it can mean that they feel like they’re “on call” even at night.
“______ it’s so easy to receive emails constantly, and get notifications (通知) from smartphones, it becomes more difficult for us to ______ our waking and sleeping lives.”
