21、The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.
One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.
When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability.
David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.
One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave.
It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”
David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn’t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”
【1】The author finally hired David because________.
A. there were no other workers in the shop then
B. he needed someone who was willing to work then
C. David kept showing up
D. he realized David was dependable
【2】We can infer from the last paragraph that_______.
A. the author feels lucky to hire David
B. David has had his character changed through work
C. the author prefers David to be more outgoing
D. some customers just play jokes on David
【3】The author gave David an interview to _______.
A. find a person who is reliable
B. find a part-time worker in need

D. show sympathy for him
【4】The author’s tone in describing David is full of ______.
A. pity B. wonder

23、Forging a 5G future
The future in sci-fi movies seems so close, yet so far away. Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. Last year, China started testing 5G mobile networks in its several cities. So what is 5G? It's the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. 【1】
5G's benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity (连接).【2】People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That's how fast 5G will be.
【3】 For example, one of the biggest problems with developing driverless cars is the delay between sending a signal and receiving it. Driverless cars must be able to react instantly to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds (毫秒).【4】 It will also allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors’ movements.
So what about 5G's connectivity? 【5】. Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns the lights on when you open your front door.
"New things become possible when you can move information at a massive scale," Gordon Smith, CEO of telecom equipment reseller Sagent, told The Telegraph. "5G becomes the great enabler. "
No matter where it is implemented, it looks like 5G will bring us a more exciting and convenient future.
A.We may develop "smart" environments with it.
B.Such speed helps other technologies, too.
C.5G will make this possible.
D.It connects people's lives in various ways.
E.It is faster and more stable than 4G, the previous generation.
F.With 5G, people can conveniently solve many problems.
G.The advantage of higher speeds is obvious.
24、Teenagers around the world can be happy with the news that the brain will ignore parents’ order when they tap on their smartphones. A new scientific study from the University College London has shown that humans may temporarily go deaf when they’re focusing on something visual at the same time.
The researchers played the normal-volume sounds in the background. And 13 volunteers experienced inattentional deafness as their visual tasks became increasingly difficult. “We found that when volunteers were performing the demanding visual task, they were unable to hear sounds that they would normally hear,” Maria Chait said in a statement. “The brain scans showed that people didn’t filter out the sounds on purpose. They were not actually hearing them in the first place.”
The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that the centre of sights and the center of sounds share limited resources. Inattentional deafness is a common everyday experience and the study explains why, according to UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Professor Nili Lavie.
If you try to talk to someone focusing on a book, game, or television program and don’t receive a response, they aren’t necessarily ignoring you. They simply might not hear you at all. This could also explain why you might not hear your bus or train stop being announced if you’re absorbed in your phone, book or newspaper. However, some loud sounds will still be able to break through.
Some situations could become potentially dangerous when the quieter ones go unheard. As you can imagine, in the operating room, when a doctor concentrates on his work, he might not hear the equipment beeping. It also applies to drivers who concentrate on complex directions. Fortunately, experts have given us some useful tips on preventing such situations.
【1】What has the University College London found?
A. Teenagers like to play visual games.
B. Smartphones have a good effect on ears.
C. Teachers don’t allow students to use phones.
D. People can’t hear well while using their eyes..
【2】What’s the attitude of Nili Lavie to the study?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Approving D. Critical
【3】What will you most probably hear if you are concentrating on a book?
A. Fire alarms. B. Words from the TV.
C. What your parents say to you. D. Announcement in the station.
【4】What will the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?
A. How to become a good driver.
B. How to help improve hearing.
C. Situations related to deafness.
D. Advice for people with visual tasks.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There were two men who occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain (排除)the liquids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours every day. They spoke about their wives and families and their jobs. And every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened by all the activity and color of the outside world.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm, and a fine view of the city could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room closed his eyes and imagined the beautiful scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window described it. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why could he look out of the window? Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn’t seem fair.
As the thought developed, the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy turned into hate and soon turned him sour. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window and that thought now controlled his life.
