21、In early November of 1942, my geology class was supposed to go on a field trip to see the mica mine (云母矿). Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.
Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.
Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.
The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middleaged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.
Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.
【1】Why did the class leave the cars halfway?
A.Because their cars broke down in Deary.
B.Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.
C.Because townsmen were curious about their cars.
D.Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.
【2】What does the underlined word "ducking" in Paragraph 3 mean?

B.The weather terribly influenced the trip.
C.The teacher was not professional enough.
D.The class failed to see the mica mine.
【4】Where is the text most probably taken from ?
A.A personal blog.

22、 Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.
According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect” .They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch” to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environments
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brain was more active than the right brain and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activities decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process , the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain afiect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in the daytime.
“ At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis, ” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian
"If something unusual happens - if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock --you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus (刺激强度) is quite low. ” More surprisingly , this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep.
The researchers think that it is the result of evolution (进化),and works to pmtect us in potentially dangerous environments.
If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect" , researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.
【1】What is found in the new study published in Current Biology?
A. Brain activities affect people's sleep in a new environment.
B. A comfortable bed helps people sleep well in a new environments
C. Most people can sleep well in a new environment after the first night.
D. The right brain determines how well people sleep in a new environment.
【2】What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things ?
A. The tiredness people suffer from in the daytime.
B. The bad sleep experiences people have ever had.
C. The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.
D. The strangeness of the things people come across.
【3】What do the researchers think of "first night effect”?
A. It has developed as a way to protect us.
B. It increases our better sleep experiences.
C. It's a characteristic that animals don't have.
D. It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.
【4】What might be the best title for the parage?
A. Why can% we get to sleep
B. How can we get a better sleep
C. What affects our brain activities
D. How can we prevent our "first night effect"
23、 I never thought about bringing home a dog since my previous dog Calhoun died, but my 7-year-old daughter Emily had other plans. So on a hot August day, I found myself with Emily and my wife Betsy driving to the animal shelter to look at puppies
Betsy and Emily picked out a small, shy white mix, which Emily called Sophie. Emily gave us the speech every parent has heard concerning a dog: "I'll keep it in my room and take care of it and walk it every day.” But that turned out to be my job from the first day. I slept downstairs on the couch, letting Sophie sleep with me or pet her until she slept. Soon, it seemed she had always been a part of our family. I realized I had honored Calhoun's memory by giving a good home to another dog.
Two months after she came to live with us, my mother died, and I felt shattered. In the mornings, after Betsy and Emily had left for work and school, instead of getting to my writing, all I could do was stare into space. Sophie, however, wasn't interested in watching me stare into space. She would push me to take her out. Once we were at the park, she would annoy me until I played with her. She led me down forest paths I'd never explored. Some days, we'd spend two hours out exploring the hiking trails around the village. When we came home, she'd sit by my chair and put her head on my foot or rest it against my leg. I learned from her that life goes on, no matter what kind of tragedy knocks you down.
I learned that lesson multiple times through many different events. When any sorrow or uncertainty came my way, Sophie was always there with her bright eyes, wagging her tail and telling me it was time to get up, go out and see what life had to offer. Emily grew up with Sophie, and so did Betsy and I in our own way.

24、2012 was one of the hardest years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For sea-eras months, I found it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.
I cannot remember the reason why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga studio in east London, where I signed up for a 3 O-day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated. What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day, Sometimes, when my head felt as if it might collapse (崩溃), I went twice a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts inside my mind.
I chose the Bikram method of hot yoga: It has a set of 26 postured and two breathing exercises performed in heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury. In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright (取得版权) his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram is not real yoga. Some question the limita-lions of just 26 postured. Others wonder why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in those 26 postured freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.
【1】What happened to the author in 2012?
A.She succeeded in writing.

D.Science fiction.
