20、[1] Compared to people with bad attitudes, people _____ are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight illnesses.
[2] In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop coughs and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
[3] Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.
[4] Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
[5] To figure out which mattered more, personality or emotions, the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the precious fortnight.
[6] Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive.
[7] Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!
What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph in to proper Chinese.

21、 Making these easy tasks part of your morning schedule will improve your nutrition, energy, and mood today﹣and beyond.
6:00 a.m.
STRETCH IN BED
Try this even before you open your eyes. Lift one arm and begin by stretching each finger, then your hand, then your wrist, and then your whole arm. Move on to the other arm. Then stretch your toes, feet,ankles, and legs. Finally, end with a neck and back stretch that propels you out of bed. You've just limbered up your muscles and joints and enhanced blood flow throughout your body, providing a shot of oxygen to all your tissues. Take up the entire length of the bed when you stretch. According to Harvard University psychologist Amy Cuddy, this display of power is typical of a bold person, making you feel more confident all day long.
7:00 a.m.
EXERCISE A BIT﹣ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
Working out before you eat, researchers say, encourages your body to burn more fat for energy rather than relying on carbohydrates from food. In a Journal of Physiology study, participants who exercised after breakfast still gained weight (as did a control group who didn't exercise), but those who exercised on an empty stomach did not. Moreover, research from the University of Vermont shows that the mood﹣enhancing benefits of a 20﹣minute workout can last for 12 hours, a boost you'll want to enjoy all day long.
BREAK YOUR FAST TWICE
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not have two? A study published in the journal Pediatric Obesity tracked the weight and breakfast﹣eating patterns of 584 students over two years. They found that frequent breakfast skippers showed increased odds of becoming overweight or obese compared with those who ate two breakfasts (one at home and one at school). The sensible takeaway: If you eat more in the morning, you'll be less likely to snack at night, when it's harder to burn off calories.
8:00 a.m.
SEEK OUT GOOD NEWS
In a 2015 study, researchers asked one group of participants to watch just three minutes of positive,solutions﹣focused news (such as a video of a 70﹣year﹣old man who got his graduation certificate after failing the test dozens of times). These participants were 27 percent more likely to report a few hours later that their day had been "happy" than people who watched negative news in the morning. Study author Gielan also cited substantial evidence that negative moods affect workplace performance.
Voila! You've improved your state of mind, your health, and your productivity﹣all before the weekday has even begun. Now you're ready to conquer your to﹣do list for today and every day.

22、What’s in a logo?
What attracts customers?【1】 It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.
There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.
Logos are part of this image.【2】 The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colours and symbols to show their identity.
【3】 Some colours may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in different countries.
The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world.【4】 The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.
Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers.【5】
A. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca Cola.
B. Colour isn’t a strictly visual element; it’s very psychological.
C. In different cultures, different colours carry different meanings.
D. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style.
E. There was a time when Coca Cola was struggling a bit with brand recognition.
F. Obviously the quality of a product does, but visual images contribute a great deal.
G. They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company.
23、 Just how much does the Constitution (宪法)protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant ((授权令) if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.
California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects' smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies .
The justices would be careless if they followed California's advice. They should start by rejecting California's weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say, going through a suspect's wallet. The court has ruled that police don't offend against the Fourth Amendment(修正案) when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.
Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution's prohibition on unreasonable searches.
In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump (打出王牌)the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.
But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh applications of the Constitution's protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain (领域)of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.
【1】The author's attitude toward California's argument is one of ________
A.disapproval. B.tolerance.
C.indifference. D.cautiousness.
【2】The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to
A.scanning one's correspondences. B.handing one's historical records.
C.getting into one's residence. D.going through one's wallet.
【3】In paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that
A.citizens' privacy is not effectively protected.
B.principles are hard to be clearly expressed.
C.phones are used to store sensitive information.
D.the court is giving police less room for action.
【4】Orin Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that
A.the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.
B.Principles of the Constitution should never be changed.
C.California's argument violates principles of the Constitution.
D.New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution
24、When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
【1】How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate, …’?
A. People don’t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
【2】Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
【3】It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.
A. the TV screen
B. a fax machine
C. the phone line hooked up to the computer
D. a microphone
【4】The best heading for the passage is _________.
A. Phone Power B. Kinds of Phone
C. How to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones
25、 Some dreams take longer to come true than others, but with the help of 21st-century social media and her great-grandson, at the age of 110, one British woman is _________ hers at long last.
At the end of World War I, Amy Hawkins was a 7-year-old child who loved nothing more than to _________. As a teen, Hawkins set her _________ on becoming an entertainer. Hawkins was on her way, touring the country with a dance troupe (歌舞团) — until her ambition was _________ by her mom, who didn’t see it as a respectable _________ for a young lady.
All these years later, the 110-year-old lady lives at home in Monmouth, South Wales, surrounded by her loved ones. The four-generation family unit includes her granddaughter, Hannah Freeman, and Freeman’s 14-year-old son, Sacha. Even though she’s no longer doing it _________, Hawkins has never stopped singing.
“She’s like a clock, once you wind her up she won’t stop,” Freeman said in an interview. “She just keeps asking, ‘Would you _________ another one?’.”
On Hawkins’ 110th birthday, Sacha _________ his great-gran singing one of her favorite WWI tunes. When Freeman jokingly suggested Sacha post it to TikTok, neither of them could have _________ the overwhelmingly positive response it would receive, reaching 100,000 views and a large number of emotional praises in just days.
Some journeys take longer than others. Sometimes, we’re detoured (绕路) along the way. Dreams can and do come true every day. While it’s been a long time coming, Amy Hawkins is ____________ a whole new generation of fans.
