21、 “Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We often tend to“spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well“become a burden”. This is because people often have an“obsessive (强迫性的) and anxious urge to share it with someone”.
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other.“Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.”according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
【1】The underlined phrase“spill the bean”is closest in meaning to _______.
A.keep a secret B.let out a secret
C.suffer from stress D.talk about other people’s private lives
【2】According to Kelly, a person who is entrusted with a secret _______.
A.should keep everything inside
B.tends to lose the trust of someone
C.often has an anxious desire to share it with others
D.may have to put up with physical or psychological problems
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.
B.Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.
C.It’s better to inform others of the chances of your leaking secrets beforehand.
D.Putting yourself in others’shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the phenomenon of sharing secrets?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Objective. D.Uncaring.
22、Stir-fried Tomatoes and eggs
Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs is a very common and popular dish in China. You don’t need any previous cooking experience to be able to make this dish. Not only is it easy enough to make, it is also delicious and nutritious. Eggs provide the protein that is of great necessity daily while tomatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients
tomatoes 2
eggs 2
cooking oil. 2 teaspoons
salt 1/2 teaspoon

Tips for Making This Dish
●My rule of thumb for a good tomato-to-egg rate is: for every one large tomato you use, use one egg.
●Don’t overcook the scrambled eggs while it’s in the pan. Once you have it in the hot pan, let it cook untouched until you start to see the edges starting to cook, then use your spatula (锅铲) to push the eggs towards the center of the frying pan. I usually just push from 4 corners, then tilt (倾斜) the pan so that the raw eggs runs onto the hot pan and I repeat it again, push it to the center.
●When the eggs look about 75% done, you can probably give it one more flip (翻) and then take it off the heat. While you are plating it, it will continue to cook.

23、When reading, my mother likes to slice a paragraph or a sentence out and attach it to the wall of her kitchen. She picks boring sentences that puzzle me. But I prefer copying favorite bright lines into a journal in soft, gray No. 2 pencil, word by word.
She doesn’t know any of this. There's nothing shocking: for our chatting. we seldom begin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we don't say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.
My mother has never told me “I love you, Lisa.”—as if the four-word absence explains who I am—so I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, Mom.” She stopped for a while and then said, “Thank you.” I haven't said it since, but I've wondered why my mother doesn't until I've found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:
Don’t fill up on bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.
My son, middle-aged, says: Did you really just say that to me?
What he doesn’t know is that when we’re walking together, I desire to reach for his hand.
It's humble, yet heartbreaking. After copying it down in my journal, I emailed it to mom, adding “This poem makes me think of you.” My mother doesn’t read poetry—or at least, she doesn’t tell me, and I felt nervous clicking “Send”.
She never mentioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem. The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there. Neither my mother nor I have ever spoken about it.
【1】What's the function of paragraph 1?
A．To stress the theme.
B．To establish the setting.
C．To represent the characters.
D．To create the atmosphere.
【2】Which of the following best describes the mother daughter relationship?
A．Shaky.
B．Distant.
C．Reserved.
D．Intense.
【3】Why did the author send the poem to her mom?

B．She wanted to apologize to mom.
C．It suited mom's taste of literature.
D．She needed an interpretation from mom.
【4】What does the poem mean to mom?
A．A memory of golden days.
B．Daughter’s gratefulness to her.

24、Most people are hoping the recent stranding (搁浅) of the 1,300-foot, 220,000-ton Ever Given container ship (集装箱货运船) in the Suez Canal was a one-off---just a case of a very big ship getting stuck in a narrow waterway. However, more than 100 ships of similar size are passing through the world’s waterways, and even bigger ones are being built.
Capt.Andrew Kinsey, a senior marine-risk consultant (海洋风险顾问) for a global financial services firm, says with heavy weather in the North Pacific Ocean over the past year, a lot of containers are going overboard (落水). Part of the problem is the way the ultra-large ships handle at sea with towering stacks (堆叠) of containers, especially in strong winds.
Alan Murphy, chief executive of a container-shipping research and advisory firm in Copenhagen, Denmark, says it’s difficult to know whether there has been an increase in the number of containers going overboard or if trans-Pacific container losses over the past year have just received more attention.In a November report, the World Shipping Council found the number of such incidents to be falling in recent years, although the report does not cover 2020. There is no central database for reporting container losses, so it’s not known exactly how many containers fall overboard, Murphy says.
Murphy says container ships are often fully loaded nowadays, as demand for consumer products has jumped during the corona virus pandemic. “In the past, these huge ships have never really sailed as fully loaded as they are now,” he says.“Obviously, the more the ship carries, the greater the risk of an incident happening.”
“The stranding of Ever Given in the Suez Canal is a warning,” Kinsey says.“We’ve been bring up the issue of size in our yearly safety and shipping review and in papers for over five years.”
Carrying more containers needs bigger and wider ships, which means it is harder for them to sail through narrow waterways like the Suez Canal and move when they get stuck.
【1】What can we imply from paragraph 1?
A．It might be a tough task to build bigger ships.
B．Costs of overseas shipments might rise sharply.
C．There might be changes in the world’s waterways.
D．More accidents like the recent stranding might happen.
【2】What did the World Shipping Council find in the November report?
A．No database for reporting container losses had been created.
B．Trans-Pacific container losses had received more attention.
C．The number of container losses had dropped in recent years before 2020.
D．More container losses happened in 2020 than in the past few years.
【3】What leads to fully loaded container ships nowadays according to Murphy?
A．The extreme weather.
B．The increasing size of ships
C．The slow transportation.
D．The growing demand for consumer goods.
【4】What do Kinsey’s words in the 5th paragraph show?
A．Warnings about the risks of stranding are given yearly.
B．Concern about larger ships has been voiced for some time.
C．Some container ships can carry as many goods as Ever Given.
D．Ships bigger than Ever Given won’t be allowed through the Suez Canal.
25、Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效)
Quality teaching depends on teachers' knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work.
