21、
When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.
Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.
Dad’s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough— it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

A. she couldn't talk with her mother
B. her mother made her nervous
C. her father wanted to teach her
D. she didn't trust her mother

A. Her Dad was a chatty person. B. Her Dad was the best teacher.
C. Her Dad liked modern music. D. Her Dad told her his sad stories.

A. fathers love their daughters dearly
B. family members need real communication
C. mothers are less patient than fathers
D. it takes time to improve the father-daughter relationship
22、Reuel Tolkien (1892 ~ 1973), the British linguist, writer. He created a fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings”, the well-known trilogy (三部曲).
Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England. Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old, and participated in the First World War. During the war, Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of World War I. It was the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first.
After the war, Tolkien became a linguist. He was an edition of the “New English Dictionary” of 1918 ~ 1920. However, he was more researching to Anglo-Saxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the Nordic spread all over the folklore and mythology.
In 1937, Tolkien completed his first work “The Hobbit”. Although this was a fairy tale, it was also suitable for adults to read. Because of good sales, publishers (Allen & Unwin) convinced Tolkien to write its sequel. This encouraged Tolkien to complete his most famous works the epic (史诗) trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”. The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.
At the beginning “The Lord of the Rings” was similar works for children, but after that writing style quickly became serious and dark. “The Lord of the Rings” was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers’ evaluation. Tolkien’s influence is important, for the success of “The Lord of the Rings” makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre (体裁) developed rapidly.
【1】When did Tolkien take part in the World War I?

23、You might be abusing your battery, especially if you have a habit of leaving the screen on, shutting down apps or throwing it in your bag on a particularly freezing morning. Smartphones are designed to keep apps open in the background. Forcibly closing them may satisfy that little part of your brain that wants to keep things neat and tidy, but because it takes more juice to start an app fresh than to wake it up, you’re beating up on your battery every time you do it. Stop!
Avoid letting the temperature of your battery powered device dip below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or rocket above 95 degrees. In either case, damage can occur. It will lower-in some cases, dramatically—the life of your battery.
Petri Hayrynen, senior product marketing manager of Global Smart Devices at HMD Global, said that charging your phone to 100% may seem like a good idea, but if you’re using a high voltage (高电压的) charger, it can put a pressure on your battery. Instead, he said to pull the plug at 80%-90% for best usage and choose to charge often.
“Old nickel (镍) batteries had a memory effect, which meant that if you didn’t charge them from 1-100%, they started to ‘forget’ their maximum capacity. But it is quite different today. As for the modern-day lithium (锂) batteries, the most stress is to put on the battery when charging or discharging them fully; both reduce the charging cycles and overall battery life cycle,” Hayrynen said. He explained that people should do “more fast top-ups during the day,” instead of charging smartphones overnight.
Try to keep the battery above 30% or so, letting it discharge occasionally to calibrate the sensors. That will keep your battery healthier and longer. Besides, to get the absolute fastest charge, toggle on Airplane Mode after plugging it in.
【1】Why should you avoid shutting down apps too often?
A．To save your battery.
B．To keep things organized.
C．To wake them up more easily.
D．To make them run in the background.
【2】To what degree should you charge your battery according to the passage?
A．100%.
B．80%-90%.
C．70%.
D．30%.
【3】Which of the following may Hayrynen agree with?
A．A high-voltage charger is dangerous.
B．Nickel batteries are better than lithium ones.
C．Charging smartphones overnight is recommended.
D．Discharging batteries fully causes damage.
【4】What is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Benefits of Lithium Batteries
B．Reasons for Battery Life Reduction
C．Dos and Don’ts for Battery Charging
D．Great Revolution it Smartphone Batteries
