21、Work less, do more. It's an attractive idea that's becoming reality for a growing number of people in Sweden, where some companies are shortening their workdays from eight hours to six or even fewer. But is it possible to finish the same amount of work in less time?
The answer depends on the person and the type of work, experts say. But plenty of evidence suggests that cutting back on hours can have many benefits, not just because people are usually happier when they work less. If done right, shortening the workday can also improve productivity (生产效率).
The average American works about 47 hours a week, and many people work much more than that, even though many recent studies have connected working long hours with many health problems. People who work too much are more likely to gain weight, suffer workplace injuries and develop stress-related illnesses.
Dealing with those problems can end up costing companies a large amount of money, experts say. One recent study found that stress in the workplace contributes to 120,000 deaths each year and as much as 
of health care costs in the US.
Productivity can also suffer as the day goes on and it takes even more effort to maintain the same pace. A number of studies have found that intense (紧张的) periods of mental effort can impair people's ability to solve puzzles, make decisions and control emotions.

22、 Many people prefer eating out instead of cooking at home. A change appears to be taking place, though, and millennials are leading the way. According to one survey, more young people are starting to cook at home for three basic reasons: They can save money, eat healthy and waste less food.

They proudly post pictures of their cooking creations on Facebook or Instagram, and invite friends over to share the cooking experience.

They also hate throwing out fruit that’s too old. To avoid that situation, they bake ripe fruit like berries and bananas for 15 minutes at 175 degrees C. Then they freeze it overnight. After that, they place the fruit in plastic bags and store it their freezer for later use.

24、 Hidden in the rolling mountains of the southeast Chinese province of Fujian is a series of giant multistoried homes built with wood and defended with mud walls. Mostly built between the I5th and 20th centuries, these shared homes purposefully nestle among tea, tobacco, rice fields and thick forests of pine and bamboo.
These structures are known as the Fujian Tulou. Throughout history, their residents have mostly been Hakka - migrants in southern China who originated from lands next to the Yellow River. Population pressures created conflicts between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as fortification(防御) structures.
Walls are up to 5 feet thick and can reach 60 feet high. Defensive features include iron gates, underground escape tunnels, tiled roofs, a water well, and a backup stock of grains and livestock in the event of a lengthy conflict. The buildings, usually three to four stories, are symmetrical (对称的) in their shapes — this means that in the event of a conflict there are no blind spots.
While tulou translates as “earthen building” in Chinese, the construction materials are made up of far more than just mud. The foundations of the structures are made of local river stones and the walls are made of fine mud sourced from rice fields. The mud is reinforced(加固) with bamboo mixed with sand and lime, and then compacted(压实) with a thick stick.
While similar in layout, each tulou is unique. The Yuchang Building, built in 1308, is the oldest and tallest and known for its lilted pillars, some of which lean at a sharp 15-degree angle. The Hegui Building is the largest rectangular(矩形的)one, covering an area of nearly 1,300 square meters. The Chengqi Building is the most massive in size, with about 400 rooms.
Because of the economic draw of the neighboring cities, there's been a great loss of residents over the last 25 years. Today the structures that once housed thousands of people are only home to a couple of dozen permanent residents, most of them elderly. In 2008, 46 tulous were given World Heritage status by UNESCO. The growth of tourism in the area not only has kept the buildings from being destroyed, hut also has promoted local businesses and allowed tulou to remain living and functional relics.
【1】What's the original purpose of Hakka’s building tulou?
A.To live in harmony with nature.
B.To make themselves more space to live.
C.To protect them from being attacked.
D.To attract visitors to appreciate the scenery.
【2】What function do the symmetrical shapes of the buildings have?
A.To keep the buildings balanced.
B.To increase the space to live in.
C.To make the buildings more attractive.
D.To ensure they can attack enemies in all directions.
【3】How many different tulou buildings are mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.Three. B.Four.
C.Five. D.Only one.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The traditional structures have perfect defensive systems.
B.The tourism in the area benefits the structures significantly.
C.Most of the permanent residents in the structures now are the elderly.
D.The traditional structures are disappearing with economic development.
