21、Having lived in California until 1970, my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate, however, to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.
There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude(震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and,luckily,none is shown in the website.So, my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.
There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter, I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.
The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the famous landmark.
My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake, I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time, Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later, I was safe outside.

22、People think that smartphones and laptops are evidence of progress. A certain amount of online searching, for instance, can be good for your brain, and there are apps that can promote brain function. Yet tech advancements also come with some unintended consequences.
Studies have shown that blue-enriched light from electronic things like smartphones can disturb the body’s internal clock and makes it impossible for you to stick to a proper sleep schedule. Losing sleep has negative effects on your brain, such as bad moods, decreased focus and problems with memory.
Technology makes it much easier to get distracted, for example, you step away from an important project to check your smartphone. Teens, in particular, are more distracted than ever. A recent survey of 2,400 teachers found that most educators feel students are more distracted than previous generations. Some 64 percent agreed with the idea that today’s digital technologies do more to distract students than to help them academically.
And technology makes people much more forgetful than they used to be. The new generation are actually more likely to forget what day it is or where they put their keys than people over the age of 55, according to a Trending Machine survey. In a press release for the survey, Jo Patricia, a doctor, said technology was to blame. “This is a population that has grown up multitasking using technology, often accompanied by lack of sleep, which results in high levels of forgetfulness,” she said.
People who rely on GPS to get around have less activity in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in both memory and direction. A study from the University of London even found that taxi drivers had a more developed hippocampus than non-taxi drivers — because they are so accustomed to using spatial memory, rather than relying on GPS.
Now that you’re probably terrified of the effects of technology, let us remind you that you do have the power to prevent it. Just log off every once in a while!

【2】Why do taxi drivers have a more developed hippocampus?
A.They mainly rely on GPS.
B.They do more mental exercise.
C.They use spatial memory more.
D.They have a better sense of balance.
【3】What is Jo Patricia’s attitude towards digital technology?
A.Negative.
B.Objective.
C.Optimistic.
D.Conservative.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Surveys conducted in school.
B.Apps used to promote memory.
C.Progress made in electronic products.
D.Harmful effects brought by digital technology.
23、Book clubs are a great way to meet people who share a common love for reading. 【1】. But it will all be worth it when your members gather for the first meeting.
【2】.
Some book clubs are mainly meant to be fun and relaxed. Members would talk about the story and feelings about the story, but it wouldn’t be a problem if the conversation got carried away from the book. Other book clubs are more serious and highly academic. They would be more focused on meaning, plot, and character.
Choose a location for your club.
Book clubs are typically held at meeting points, like homes, bookstores, or the local library. The meetings can change location sometimes. 【3】. Contact the location to inquire about holding your book club there, or ask potential members if they could commit to hosting a club every now and then.
Go for an online club if you don’t have a location to meet.
If a physical meeting point isn’t an option, you might also have an online book club. 【4】. An online meeting point is also a good option because it allows people from all over the world to join the club.
Find a core group of people with a passion for reading.

24、Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale?Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, "I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything."
