21、 The United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In normal year there are 800 to 1, 000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹) . Suddenly, there is loud sound, like train or jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

23、 Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.
Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
【1】What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Powerful to show one's feelings.
B．Affecting each other.
C．Attractive to the others.
D．Being gentle to people around.
【2】When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.
A．send wrong messages
B．hide true feelings
C．avoid misunderstanding
D．win others, acceptance
【3】What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?
A．You will appear very attractive.
B．It will help to soften his position.
C．You will seem unacceptably proud.
D．It will be a good way to build trust.
24、 Scientists rely on journal papers to share their scientific results. 【1】
Once researchers are confident of their results, they write up a manuscript(手稿)and send it to a joumal. Editors forward the submitted manuscripts to at least two external referees who are expert in the topic. These reviewers can suggest the manuscript be rejected, published as is, or sent back to the scientists for more experiments. 【2】
Research published in peer-reviewed journals has undergone strict quality control by experts. Each year, about 2, 800 peer-reviewed journals publish roughly 1.8 million scientific papers. The body of scientific knowledge is constantly evolving and updating, but you can trust that the science these journals describe is sound. Retraction policies help correct the record if mistakes are discovered post-publication.
【3】To get the word out faster, scientists sometimes post research papers on what’s called a preprint server. These often have “RXiv”—pronounced “archive”—in their name:MedRXiv, BioRXiv and so on. These articles have not been peer-reviewed and so are not proven by other scientists. Preprints provide an opportunity for other scientists to evaluate and use the research as building blocks in their own work sooner.
How long has this work been on the preprint server? If it’s been months and it hasn’t yet been published in the peer-reviewed literature, be very skeptical. 【4】During the COVID-19 crisis, with researchers hurrying to understand a dangerous new virus and rushing to develop lifesaving treatments, preprint servers have been littered with immature and unproven science. Demanding research standards have been sacrificed for speed.
Be smartly aware of research published in what are called predatory (损人利己的) journals. 【5】Papers from any of the thousands of known predatory journals should be treated with strong skepticism.
A．That process is called “peer review”.
B．Peer review normally takes months.
C．Call to confirm that they are proven correct.
D．However, they can’t guarantee the papers are correct.
E．They let the world see what research has been done, and how.
F．They don’t peer-review manuscripts, and they charge authors a fee to publish.
G．The scientists submitting the preprint may not come from a reliable institution.
