21、 While travelling the world and doing research for my new book, I realised something rather extraordinary. Nearly everyone understands the importance of brain health, but most people seem to believe this mysterious organ is a black box, untouchable and incapable of being improved.
However, the brain can be continuously enriched throughout life, no matter your age or access to resources. Our everyday experiences, including how much we exercise or with whom we socialize, factor into our brain health far more than we can imagine.
Prevention is the most powerful treatment of illness, and this is especially true of degenerative illnesses such as those in the brain . Few of us think about dementia (痴呆) at our best . The risk of dementia rises faster after the age of 65. However, knowing that damage could be starting in your brain offers you a remarkable opportunity to take action.
When I was able to travel the world, I was struck by the fact that the liveliest and most joyful, who seemed to be having a great time despite their advanced age, were always the ones who maintained high-quality friendships and an expansive social network.
It is difficult to say precisely why maintaining social connections plays powerful role in keeping the brain young. One reason could be that it provides a buffer (缓冲) against the harmful physical effects of stress.
Research by Memory and Aging Project has shown similarly that people with large social networks are well protected against the cognitive (认知的) declines related to dementia than those with a smaller group of friends.
【1】How did the author find his discovery during the trip?
A.Reasonable.
B.Unexpected.
C.Common.
D.Interesting.
【2】What can we know about the author?
A.He loves travelling.
B.He’s a novelist.
C.He’s very ambitious.
D.He is a psychologist
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A.The brain stops improvement when one is over 65.
B.No preventative measures can be taken about dementia.
C.The wider social circle is, the younger your brain will be.
D.Social connection plays an important role in preventing dementia.
【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.Support the opinion of the author.
B.Provide some advice for the readers.
C.Add some background information.
D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.
22、In many cases, online classes can be a gift to college students everywhere. They’re different from traditional classes in many ways.【1】So what exactly do students love about taking online classes?
A flexible schedule
One thing that many college students probably dislike about traditional classes is that they’re inflexible. There is usually a specific schedule you need to follow. By contrast, online classes are much more flexible.【2】Flexibility with your classes also gives you the chance to make time for other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and family.
A comfortable learning environment
Online classes offer you a comfortable environment in which you can learn. Because you don’t have to physically attend classes, you’ll have the chance to work from wherever you want.【3】If you would rather do your work in your bedroom in the comfort of your own home, you have complete freedom to do that as well.
【4】
Another great thing about online classes is that there are quite a variety to choose from. You can find practically any degree program you want online to help you advance in your education and career. So, no matter what you want to study, chances are that there’s something out there that’s a perfect fit for you.
Easy access to your textbooks
Since your classes are online, it’s likely that your textbooks will be easily accessible online as well. What’s more, they will probably not be all that expensive.【5】This is highly convenient, especially if you prefer using online textbooks so that you won’t have to haul (拖着)a physical copy around or worry about misplacing it somewhere.
A.Advances in your education.
B.A variety of courses and programs.
C.They can be a welcome relief for students.
D.You can access them online for little to no charge.
E.So if you prefer learning and getting work done in a cafe, go to a cafe.
F.It means you have the opportunity to do your work whenever you see fit.
G.Online classes are a great option for those efficient at schedule management.

This job appeared after the Titanic tragedy( 悲 剧) in 1912. Iceberg movers remove icebergs and prevent any further accidents. Using satellites and airplanes, the movers search the seas for icebergs.

24、New streaming movies are coming to entertain you and your family during socially distanced times.

Mulan
It's pretty easy to yell " Cash grab!" every time the Mouse House remakes one of its beloved animated films (动画片).But this version of “Mulan" actually improves a great deal on the fantasy fable of a young Chinese woman (Yifei Liu) who takes the place of her sick father (Tzi Ma) in the Imperial Army. Mulan is a warrior extraordinaire worth the emotional investment.
Where to watch: Disney+ (as a $30 premium add-on)
Love, Guaranteed
The film stars Rachael Leigh Cook as Susan, a glamorous lawyer. She's hired by a charming bachelor ( Damon Wayans Jr.) who wants to sue (起诉)a dating app for its “guarantee“ of love after 1,000 dates. But as the case heats up, so do Susan and Nick's feelings for each other.
