21、I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we’ve got older, we’ve become closer, and I’ve learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn’t realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He’s helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It’s always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you’re lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he’s certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I’ve realized from my brother that I needn’t speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.

22、Stan Lee tried his hand at many different jobs as a teenager but found his real task when he began to work for Timely Comics (连环漫画) in 1939. He rose to be Editor-in-Chief and introduced a range of iconic and extremely popular characters.
When DC Comics brought superheroes back into their comics in the 1950s, Timely Comics had to react. The company changed its name to Marvel, and Stan Lee was given the job of creating a series of new comic-book characters that would compete.
Stan already had a few ideas that he was keen to develop, and he introduced Fantastic Four to comic-reading Americans. The new heroes were an immediate hit, and Stan Lee could see that with careful and detailed planning, the new market could be well served by Marvel.
As the new market developed, Stan Lee stuck to his ideas, and came up with a new approach to storytelling through comics. Stan could see that comic-book fans wanted more than just illustrated stories. They wanted larger than life characters, but with a lot of humanity and weaknesses.
These new fans wanted to be part of a community where they felt involved with the whole process of comic book creation. Stan introduced credits for writers, illustrators and letterers. Each step of the process was explained, and fans soon developed loyalty (忠诚) to particular writers or artists.
The energy and commitment that Stan brought to this new world soon resulted in imaginative new characters. In cooperation with others, Stan introduced Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, Doctor Strange, and Daredevil. These superheroes lived in a universe they all shared. This also included Marvel's single most successful comic-book character — Spider-man.

【3】What's the problem of Stan Lee’s way to tell stories through comics?

23、What would you do if someone did something you didn’t agree with? Would you completely stop talking to them? Or would you tell them how their actions were wrong?
The “cancel culture” trend has been picking up some steam recently. According to Dictionary.com, “cancel culture” is defined as “publicly rejecting, boycotting or ending support for particular people or groups because of their socially or morally unacceptable views or actions”.
Neelam, a 17-year-old high school senior in the US, told The New York Times that she wasn’t being sensitive when she saw someone doing something wrong and “called them out” for it.
However, others think that “canceling” people is counterproductive and can actually be harmful to the person.
To Ben, a high school junior in Providence, Rhode Island, US, canceling someone “takes away the option for them to learn from their mistakes and kind of alienates them”. Ben, 17, thinks that people should be held accountable for their actions, regardless if they are your friend or someone famous.
In fact, quite a few celebrities have already faced the wrath of cancel culture. Some celebrities who have been “canceled” this year include British author of the Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling, US comedian Ellen DeGeneres and English guitarist Eric Clapton.
And, over the summer, about 150 public figures like authors J.K. Rowling and Margaret Atwood signed an open letter against the cancel culture trend. The letter expressed that cancel culture was hurting people’s freedom of expression in areas like the arts, universities and journals.
Professor Loretta Ross, who teaches a university course on cancel culture, is trying to fight back against this new trend. “It really does alienate people, and makes them fearful of speaking up,” she told The New York Times. Ross also noted that cancel culture isn’t new: “What’s new is the virality and the speed and the anonymity.”
Our world is beautiful because of the wonderful mix of different cultures, ideas and opinions. So, the next time you think someone should be “called out” or “canceled”, maybe try calling them in instead.
【1】What does the underlined sentence most probably mean in paragraph 3?
A．She realized canceling a person was harmful.
B．She thought it was reasonable to cancel a person.
C．She didn’t think it was fair to cancel a person.
D．She thought we shouldn’t cancel a person.
【2】Which of the following would Ben most probably agree with?
A．Cancel culture doesn’t help with a person’s growth.
B．Cancel culture encourages people to reflect on their mistakes.
C．Canceling people applies to all, whether they are friends or celebrities.
D．Cancel culture makes people unfriendly toward each other.
【3】What does Professor Loretta Ross imply?
A．People should be careful in expressing their opinions.
B．Cancel culture enables people to speak up freely.
C．The meaning of cancel culture changes with the times.
D．The Internet has made cancel culture more powerful.
【4】What does the article mainly talk about?
A．The origin of cancel culture.
B．Why cancel culture is harmful.
C．The issue of cancel culture.
D．Why cancel culture is trendy.
24、Man still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body — the brain.
It may be surprising to learn that it isn’t age that makes you lose your memory. The reason could be that you have a "lazy" memory, not an old one. Like your body your memory improves with exercise. Once given plenty of exercise, the brain keeps its power. Before discussing how to improve the memory, let’s look at how the brain works. There are two sides to the brain, the left and the right. The right side deals with the senses (what we see, hear, feel and smell). It's the creative and imaginative side. The left side is concerned with logic. It analyzes information and puts it in order.
Some recent research suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. The problem most of us has is recalling events. Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After a month, 80% has been forgotten, and so on.
This shows revision is very important. If you revise new material you have learnt, you remember much more. So it's of vital importance to revise newly learned material often, and have frequent breaks. We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, revise what was learned before the break and then continue learning the new material. These breaks should happen every 20 or 45 minutes.
Other experiments have shown the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learned. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After the break, the memory will have absorbed what it has just learned, and more will be remembered. During this period it is important to exercise the right side of the brain, because the left side is used during the learning period. Therefore you should relax. Listening to music, breathing in fresh air, and looking at a picture are all ways of using the other side of the brain. So when you are studying alone, make a plan which shows when to have breaks and to revise newly learned material immediately before you begin studying again. If you do in this way, your memory will improve.
【1】According to the text, you lose your memory by ________.
A. getting too old B. hardly using your brain
C. working too hard D. using your brain too much
【2】To fight forgetting effectively, we're advised to ________.
A. go back to what was learned regularly
B. break down materials into small pieces
C. focus on both ends of a learning period
D. take breaks to give the brain a good rest
【3】During the learning process the brain need breaks to ________.
A. use the right side of the brain
B. revise newly learnt materials
C. take in what has been learnt
D. relax the left side of the brain
【4】Where is this text most probably taken from?
A. Science fictions. B. Students’ literature.
C. An advertisement. D. A science report.
