21、Kids need to move in school
Many years ago, when my girls were in primary school, they were crazy about the dance breaks they would occasionally have during the school day. Their teachers would put on a video, which encouraged the kids to get up and dance, and then they' d get back to work.【1】 Many teachers are including some form of movement into the school day.
A recent research, published in the journal Pediatrics, involved more than 10,000 children between the ages of 4 and 13. 【2】 Susan Kamin, leader of the research, said, “Activity breaks during the school day also lead to fewer behavioral issues, not to mention cutting down on stress and anxiety."
Breakthrough Magnet School, Connecticut, is in its third year working with the National Association of Physical Literacy. Principal Julie Goldstein said her third-and fourth-graders who are actively engaged in the physical programme are the highest-scoring students in math and reading in the district.【3】 For this school year, not one student from this group has been referred to her office for a conversation. Before the programme, she might have had one or two office coversations with some of them every month.
【4】 “I know lots of teachers who say, 'Yeah, I wish I had more time to do this,'” Kamin said, “Even in schools that can find the time, there is still some opposition (反对)because it's a departure from the way things used to be. It's a big change for some of the teachers.【5】Yet the schools that have made the change see tremendous results. So how do you move the needle?"
A.My kids' teachers are certainly not alone.
B.They're not sure whether to make that leap.
C.The challenge, though, is persuading more schools to take action.
D.Teach children the basics of movement so that they can stay active for life.
E.Beyond the academical (学业的) benefits, there are benefits outside the classroom.
F.It shows that kids who get extra physical activity in school do better in cognitive(认知的) performance.
22、In the United States，it is important to be on time，or punctual，for an appointment，a class，a meeting，etc.However，this may not be true in all countries.An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的） university.The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10A.M.and end at 12.On the first day，when the professor arrived on time，no one was in the classroom.Many students came after 10：30A.M.Two students came after 11A.M.Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived，few apologized（道歉）for their lateness.Were these students being rude？He decided to study the students' behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class，respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react，If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19minutes after the agreed time.On the other hand，the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33minutes.
In an American university，students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast，in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class，only a few students left the class at 12：00； many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil，neither is staying late.
【1】What is the main idea of this passage？ ______
A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.
B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.
C. People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.
D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
【2】The word ‘punctual' most probably means ______ .

B. He felt angry at the students' rudeness.
C. He wanted to make the students come on time later.
D. He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.
【4】It can be inferred from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation that ______ .
A. American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes late
B. neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatherings
C. being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another culture
D. Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time
23、I’m a big believer in mind-wandering now and then — especially when I’m out for a walk. There’s something about being in nature that helps me let go of daily worries and allows my mind to wander where it will go, which makes me feel great.
I admit, though, I’ve been perplexed by previous studies showing how mind-wandering can make me less productive or upset. But it turns out this contradiction (矛盾) between my personal experience and science may best be explained by the latest study.
Previous research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind — we tend to be less happy when we’re not focused on what we’re doing. That’s likely true if mind-wandering keeps you from achieving your goals. However, when people find their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improve. Similarly, thinking about people you love produces positive results.
In the latest study, participants were reminded randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off-task, they generally felt more negative — similar to what earlier studies showed. But if their thoughts were free-moving, it had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier.
People aren’t built to be “on” all of the time. Taking a mind-wandering break might be good for our creativity, happiness and even productivity. And, as long as it’s employed during times when complete focus isn’t required, it may improve our well-being without damaging performance.
“My hope is that people will explore the limits of mind-wandering a bit more and try to mind-wander in a way that is bigger, more fantastical, more personally meaningful, and further into the future,” says Claire Zedelius, formerly of the University of California, Santa Barbara. “If people just really allowed themselves to freely use this tool, they might be able to focus on creative solutions to big problems.”
【1】What does the word “perplexed” underlined in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Confused.
B．Convinced.
C．Created.
D．Rejected.
【2】What similar conclusion does the latest study share with the previous ones?
A．A wandering mind remains unhappy.
B．Free-moving wandering is common.
C．Wandering thoughts are interesting.
D．Off-task thoughts lead to negativity.
【3】What does Claire Zedelius try to talk about?
A．The significant roles of mind-wanderers.
B．Advice on being a better mind-wanderer.
C．Benefits of free-moving mind-wandering.
D．Plans for future studies on mind-wandering.
【4】What might be a suitable title for the text?
A．How Mind-wandering Shapes Your Future
B．Mind-wandering Is the Root of Happiness
C．How Mind-wandering Can Do Good to You
D．Mind-wandering Is Beneficial to Creativity
24、 Secret shower singers are pleased: a new water-powered Bluetooth speaker from Ampere could help arrange your morning routine.
Shower Power attaches to your shower head, making your water flow power a hydroelectric generator(水力发电机) that charges the battery of its Bluetooth speaker. The device(器件) is similar to earlier water-powered speaker Hyquadio, but Ampere offers more options for controlling its speaker, with physical playback controls on the device and a battery-powered remote if the speaker is out of reach.
When the speaker is attached and water is flowing, its 2500mAh battery should offer over 80 hours of playback at max volume(音量). With water off, that number falls to around 17 hours at max volume. Ampere explains that due to the size of Shower Power’s impeller(叶轮) it’s only able to meet the demands of the speaker’s battery at around 60-70 percent volume.
Droplet, Ampere’s additional speaker accessory(附件), could help create a wider range of possible sounds. It’s the same speaker as Shower Power, but not water-powered. The device can be connected to Shower Power and it can be placed anywhere, filling out the sound in places Shower Power might miss fixed on your shower head, if you’re willing to purchase the device separately of course.
Standalone water-proof speakers can also easily play music in your shower, but unlike Shower Power they’d have to be removed every time you need to charge them. Shower Power never has to leave your shower; its advantage is that it never requires you to remember a wire.
For interested shower singers and podcast devotees, Shower Power launches today on Kickstarter for $59. You can add on the water-proof remote for $15 or an additional Droplet speaker for $20. Pre-orders will follow on Ampere’s site on November 15th and the device will go on sale in December.
【1】What differs Ampere Shower Power from Hyquadio?
A．Being water-powered.
B．Being water-proof.
C．A playback remote.
D．A physical battery.
【2】What limits the volume of Ampere Shower Power?
A．Points when you use it.
B．Places where you fix it.
C．Varieties of its sounds.
D．Sizes of its impeller.
【3】In which way can Droplet help Ampere?
A．To assist its sounds.
B．To expand its volume.
C．To save its energy.
D．To remove it easily.
【4】How much does a set of Ampere cost at least on Kickstarter?
A．$99.
B．$74.
C．$89
D．$35.
25、Each year, my family and I leave our home in New Jersey and drive two hours to Connecticut. Last ________, we went there again. We live in a suburb, not far from New York City.
