21、Do you wish to be liked by people around you? Of course! Our likability is not entirely up to us. It depends on many things. Here are some tips you can follow to make yourself more likable.
Be a better listener
People like being listened to. To be a good listener, you have to actually listen to what the other person is saying, instead of rushing to tell them your story once they finish speaking. 【1】For example, some head nods, ohs and ahs can make you look like paying close attention.
【2】
When someone tells you he has to work all weekend, it’s a bad idea to say “Well, that’s why you make so much money!” It may be better to say “Ah, that’s terrible.” If someone tells you about something they achieved, offer sincere congratulations instead of saying “You are really a lucky dog”.
Follow up
This is an opportunity most people miss. If someone tells you they have taken an exam, ask them how it went.【3】When people gave you information and you follow up the next time you see them or by text, they know that you listened and that you cared enough to ask about it.【4】
Find common ground
【5】So when meeting people you don’t know well or are meeting for the first time, try to find common interests, hobbies, opinions, taste in movies, books, shows, music or fashion, vacation destinations, or anything else that might create connections between you.
A．Be supportive
B．Be communicative
C．They will be glad to share it with you.
D．People connect to others who are similar to them.
E．Doing this can earn you significant likability points.
F．You have to find ways to show that you’re being attentive.
G．If you know they went on vacation, ask whether they had fun.
22、 As the COVID-19 pandemic （新冠肺炎）rages, with ongoing lockdown （封城）measures affecting millions of people around the globe, levels of air pollution are falling dramatically in many parts of the world. This trend has been highlighted by a new report published by Swiss company IQAir looking at ten key global cities that normally suffer from high levels of pollution.
The report compared measurements from ground-based monitoring stations regarding a type of pollutant known as PM2.5— tiny inhalable particles measuring 2.5 micrometers or smaller that are emitted （排放）by various sources such as vehicles and power plants. It found significant falls in nearly all the locations listed.
This is, perhaps, not surprising considering the large decreases in vehicle traffic and industrial activity that have occurred with lockdown measures imposed （实施）on these cities.
The report examined data collected over a three-week period for each city while they were under lockdown conditions. IQAir then compared these measurements to the same time period for the years between 2016 and 2019.
IQAir found that nine out of the ten cities in the report experienced significant reductions in PM2.5 compared to the same period for 2019. Those with historically higher levels of PM2.5 pollution saw the greatest drops including New Delhi （-60 percent） Seoul （-54 percent） and Wuhan （-44 percent）. Besides, seven of the cities saw reductions in PM2.5 of 25 to 60 percent compared to the same period last year.
Wuhan—where the COVID-19 pandemic was first identified—experienced the cleanest air on record for February and March. The city was placed under one of the strictest lockdowns in the world on January 24, which was only lifted after 10 weeks.
Unfortunately, these sharp improvements in air quality have coincided （同时发生）with significant economic disruption, suffering and loss of life across the globe. Furthermore, experts warn that without sustained action to control pollution once the crisis ends, levels will likely rebound, as has been witnessed following previous economic downturns.
【1】The levels of air pollution in the nine cities drop dramatically probably because .
A.the global economy suffers downturns
B.vehicle traffic and industrial activity decrease sharply during the pandemic
C.the governments of these cities take effective measures to reduce air pollution
D.people around the world have raised their awareness of environmental protection
【2】Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 5?
A.To show the data from IQAir are true.
B.To make a comparison between the cities.
C.To show the significant reductions in levels of air pollution.
D.To prove the measures carried out in these cities are effective.
【3】What does the underlined word "disruption” in the last paragraph mean?
A.destruction B.eruption
C.break D.construction
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The introduction of PM2.5.
B.The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great loss across the globe.
C.IQAir measured the air pollution levels in major global cities during the pandemic.
D.Air pollution has fallen significantly in nine major global cities during the pandemic.
23、What you do after studying could have a big effect (影响) on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits (好处) of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived (剥夺) person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well” . It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
【1】According to the research, shortly after studying students are recommended ________
A．To read a newspaper.
B．To play a video game.
C．To have a nice sleep at night.
D．To take a wakeful rest.
【2】How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?
A．Less than 7 hours.
B．Around 9 hours.
C．No more than 8 hours.
D．Just 7 hours.
【3】What’s the organization of this passage?
A．①②—③④⑤⑥—⑦⑧—⑨
B．①—②③④⑤—⑥⑦—⑧⑨
C．①—②③④⑤⑥—⑦⑧—⑨
D．①②③—④⑤⑥⑦—⑧⑨
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Low - cost Tips on Working
B．Good Things to Do After Your Study
C．Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?
D．How Long Should We Rest After Learning?
24、5 of the Best O. Henry Short Stories Everyone Should Read
Below, we select and introduce five of O. Henry’s very best short stories. Many of them are only five pages long in the average paperback reprint of his stories, so can be read in no more than ten minutes. What are you waiting for?
‘The Gift of the Magi’.
This is surely O. Henry’s best-known story of all. Published in 1906, it’s about a husband and wife, Jim and Della, buying Christmas presents for each other, without much money to spend on them. The two of them have a special possession they prize above all others: Jim has a gold watch that’s been handed down through the generations, and Della has her long, thick hair.
How will Della be able to raise the money to buy Jim a gold chain for his watch? We won’t say any more...
‘Mammon and the Archer’.
A retired soap manufacturer named Anthony Rockwall worships ‘Mammon’, i.e., money above everything else. The ‘Archer’ of the story’s title is Cupid, the god of love. Rockwall tells his son Richard that money can buy him anything in life, but Richard points out that the girl he loves is leaving in a few days’ time and he hasn’t managed to win her hand. He takes a ring with him, which his mother left to him in her will, with the intention of asking his sweetheart to marry him but he drops the ring and... well, we won’t say more, but let’s just say that once again, O. Henry’s gift for twist endings turns things around...
The story is a curious counterpoint to ‘The Gift of the Magi’, in which a married couple uses their last few dollars to buy each other a Christmas present. Here, there is a suggestion that money can buy you time, after all.
‘The Duplicity of Hargraves’.
First published in 1902, this story is about the elderly Major Pendleton Talbot and his spinster daughter Lydia. After the pair move to Washington D.C. from the American South, they meet Henry Hopkins Hargraves, a vaudeville actor.
However, the impecunious Major and his daughter are shocked, when they go to see a show, to find Hargraves impersonating the Major in front of the audience. Then a man claiming to be one of the Major’s former slaves from the antebellum era turns up and offers to help the pair out of hardship...
‘The Sleuths’.
A man searching for his missing sister in New York realizes the official police detective can’t help him. Only one man can: the famous private consulting detective Shamrock Jolnes. As the narrator informs us: “The famous sleuth’s thin, intellectual face, piercing eyes, and rate per word are too well known to need description.” Sound familiar?
‘After Twenty Years’.
This 1906 story is a tale of a reunion. Two men who grew up together in New York City agree to meet up, twenty years later, in the restaurant where they last bid each other farewell two decades ago in order to seek their fortunes. However, one of the men, Bob, has become a hardened criminal and the other man, Jimmy, has become — well, let’s not give too much away, other than to say the reunion does not exactly go according to plan.
【1】Which of the following serves as a counterpart of the story in The Gift of the Magi?
A．The Duplicity of Hargraves.
B．The Sleuths.
C．Mammon and the Archer.
D．After Twenty years.
【2】If someone is fond of detective stories, which book would you recommend to him?
A．The Duplicity of Hargraves.
B．The Gift of the Magi.
C．Mammon and the Archer.
D．The Sleuths.
【3】The main purpose of the passage is to _______.

25、 It was 5:45 a. m. in March, and physician Michael Shannon was driving along the Coast Highway to meet a friend. As he______toward Dana Point Harbor, a blanket of white suddenly ______ his sight. A truck had pulled onto the road in front of him. The physician had no time to______.
“I remember the sound of breaking glass, and then everything______. I was sitting still.” he says. Shannon remained conscious during the crash. He sensed something burning. But he was______beneath the twisted dashboard(仪表盘).
Help arrived almost immediately; a team from the Orange County Fire Department was on the scene in less than ten______. Paramedic (护理人员) Chris Trokey could see how______it was. The whole front end of the SUV was crashed under the body of the truck. He could see a small red flame, but he knew it could______within minutes. The man inside the vehicle appeared unusually______. “He wasn’t yelling,” says Trokey. “He was saying, ‘Get me out of here.’”
The firemen______the engine fire at once and the Chevy Suburban was finally opened. As he sat with him in the back of the ambulance(救护车), the crash victim’s name—Michael Shannon______his attention.
The paramedic______, could this be the same -man who had saved his own life 30 years ago? The______who slept by Trokey’s side in the hospital until he was well enough to go home? As Trokey sat with Shannon, the feeling of______grew stronger.
In June 1986, Chris Trokey entered the world ten weeks early and only had a 50-50 chance of______. It was doctor Shannon who had given the baby a second life. Chris continued to be Shannon’s patient until he was in his teens.
Now, 30 years later, Chris Trokey stayed by Shannon’s side. “Do you remember me at all? You stayed with me when I was really little,” asked Trokey,
Shannon recognized Chris at once______Chris looked nothing like the______baby he had once been.
How______! Each of them says this feeling—of having someone enter your life at an extremely______time and watch over you until you are well, of giving a gift without______and then getting it back when you need it most-has given him faith in a higher power.
