21、 If you are like millions of other people in the world, you probably want to live a healthy lifestyle. While many people are able to achieve this lifestyle, there are even more that are looking for ways to improve their health. Here are 5 tips to help you.
1. Healthy diet
The food you eat plays a huge role in what type of lifestyle you live. If you eat fast food every day, you clearly don’t have the best diet. You should eat vegetables, fruits, bread as well as meat and fish, and even some snack foods once in a while.
2. Water
Drink plenty of water every day and it is good for your health. Usually you need to drink 8—10 glasses of water a day.
3. Exercise
Take some exercise every day. You can take a walk, play ball games with your friends, or ride a bike. Exercise is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle.
4. Have fun
Getting out and having fun is important because it helps let out much stress that is bottled up over the days. Go out to a movie with your friends once in a while. Go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. Or if you want more relaxation, take time away from your busy schedule (日程表) to lie down and read a book.

22、 Yong male songbirds usually learn their songs from adult songbirds. But when those young birds do not have older ones to teach them, they have less success attracting mates.
For five years, ecologist Ross Crates with Australian National University has studied the singing ability and mating success of birds called regent honeyeaters (王吸蜜鸟).
Male birds once formed large groups in the winter. Now they are spread out across the country, so many fly alone. That means fewer honeyeater adults are nearby during the young birds first year of life.
“Song learning in many birds is a process similar to humans learning languages—they learn by listening to other individuals,” said Crates.
“If you can’t listen to other individuals, you don’t know what you should be learning.”
Researchers found that a large number of male birds appear to be learning tunes only used by other species. About 12 percent of male regent honeyeaters end up producing versions of songs usually sung by friarbirds and lack-faced cuckoo shrikes, among other birds.
The scientists released their research in the publication Proceedings of the Royal Society B. They found that males who sang unusual songs were less successful in attracting mates.
Peter Marra is a conservation biologist at Georgetown University and was not involved in the study. He said, “This research suggests that the loss of a song language once the population reaches a very small size could accelerate their decline.”
Scott Ramsay is a behavioral ecologist at Wilfried Laurier University in Ontario, Canada. He was not involved in the research. He said the songs were like an advertisement: “When male birds sing, it’s like putting out an ad saying, ‘I’m over here...and I’m really interested in finding a partner.”
Ramsay added that female honeyeaters may not even recognize these unusual singers as possible mates, and so do not approach them. Or it could be that they approach, “but then things go wrong if the males do not behave as expected.”
【1】What might be the scientists’ attitude towards the regent honeyeaters?
A．Positive.
B．Concerned.
C．Optimistic.
D．Critical.
【2】What’s the result if regent honeyeaters learn songs from other species?
A．It’s more possible for them to fail in mating.
B．They attract other species successfully.
C．Most regent honeyeaters will follow them.
D．Female honeyeaters like other versions of songs.
【3】What can we learn according to Peter’s or Scott’s study?
A．People can understand the language of honeyeaters.
B．Males sing wrong songs because they’re not interested in mating.
C．Females are likely to mistake male honeyeaters for other birds.
D．Regent honeyeaters can put out an advertisement apart from singing songs.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Singing is an important skill for every bird.
B．Honeyeaters and other birds have a close relationship.
C．The failure to acquire the song language may speed up the decrease of honeyeaters.
D．Honeyeaters are losing their capability of learning singing from other individuals.
23、There have been few precious positives during the COVID-19 pandemic but academies may have unearthed one: People look more attractive in protective masks.
Researchers at Cardiff University were surprised to find that both men and women were: judged to look better with a face covering hiding the lower half of their faces.
Dr Michael Lewis, a reader from Cardiff University’s school of psychology and an expert in faces, said research carried out before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were associated with disease or illness.
“We wanted to test whether the idea had changed since face coverings became common and understand whether the type of mask had any effect,” he said.
“Our study suggests faces are considered more attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we’re used to healthcare workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions. At a time when we feel weak, we may find the wearing of medical masks makes us feel less worried or frightened and so we feel more positive towards the wearer.”
The first part of the research was carried out in February 2021. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of one to ten the attractiveness of images of male faces without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and holding a plain black book covering the area a face mask would hide.
The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly obscured (掩盖) by the book. But the medical face mask—which was just a normal, disposable kind—made the wearer look even better.
“The results run counter to the pre-pandemic research where it was thought that masks made people think about disease and that the person should be avoided.” said Lewis. “The pandemic has changed our psychology in how we view the wearers of masks. When we see someone wearing a mask we no longer think ‘that person has a disease, and I need to stay away’.”
【1】What was people’s attitude to wearing a mask before the pandemic?
A．Doubtful.
B．Favourable.
C．Confused.
D．Negative.
【2】What can wearing a mask offer us according to the new study?
A．A sense of pride.
B．A sense of safety.
C．A decrease in confidence.
D．An improvement in health condition.
【3】Which of the following makes us most attractive according to the research?
A．Leaving the face uncovered.
B．Wearing a plain cloth mask.
C．Wearing a blue medical mask.
D．Hiding the face partly with a book.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Be contrary to.
B．Be similar to.
C．Be consistent with.
D．Be based on.
24、 Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village ,but this doesn’t mean that we all behave in the same way.

25、My daughter loved dance, until she didn’t. After an _________ first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then, one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just _________ it.
My first reaction was to _________ her to “finish what you start”. After all, sticking with something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first-grader _________ herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much sense that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best _________ , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter _________? What if there are different but _________ valuable qualities, which can be gained by _________ the things that are not right for her?
With the winter show approaching, I realized she needed to either _________ her class or commit herself to it. After a few days’ consideration, she __________ dance wasn’t for her—a choice I __________. Quitting is never a black-and-white issue. Sometimes, it means __________ a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that still changes.
As adults, we are accustomed to __________ the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an __________ investment of our time or energy is also Important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to exit something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost __________ because she has started.
