22、The first CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras appeared in Britain in 1953, and by the 1960s there were already a few cameras in major streets in London. Today, there are more than four million CCTV cameras across the country.
That’s one camera for every fourteen people. The cameras are there to film dangerous or illegal behaviour. With new software, they can recognize the faces of known criminals, and a new kind of CCTV in the Netherlands can discover angry voices and warn the police of trouble. But these cameras don’t just watch criminals; they watch all of us, almost all of the time. Every time we go into a shop, or use a cash machine, or travel on public transport, a camera records our actions.
The amount of surveillance (监视) in towns and cities across Britain is increasing. Some goods in shops now have RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags (标签) stuck on them. When you pick up one of these things, the RFID tag sends a radio message to a CCTV camera and the camera starts filming you. Shops say that this technology helps to catch shoplifters — but only by treating everybody as a possible criminal.
Cameras and tags are not the only ways of monitoring our actions. Every time you make or receive a call on your mobile phone, the phone company knows the number of the phone you are calling and how long the call lasts. It is even possible to work out your exact location.
And what about satellites? Are they watching us from space? How much can they see? Anybody with a computer can download Google Earth and get satellite photos of the entire world.
Even when you are at home, you are not necessarily safe from surveillance. When you use your computer to visit websites, you are probably sending and receiving cookies without realizing it. Cookies move information from your computer to the website and record which websites you visit. Modern technology is making it easier and easier to stay in touch, but it is also making it nearly impossible for us to hide.

23、 Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone (荷尔蒙) called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening (令人发狂的) situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
【1】What is the story mainly about?
A.The findings of new psychology research.
B.What you can do with anger in certain cases.
C.Different effects produced by anger and fear.
D.Healthier responses in maddening situations.
【2】Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?
A.It’s better to be angry than to be frightened.
B.Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.
C.Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.
D.Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.
【3】What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?
A.Fear and anger. B.Blood pressure and pulse.
C.Blood pressure and cortisol. D.Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
【4】In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?
A.By showing their optimistic side. B.By reducing their stress.
C.By reducing high blood pressure. D.By taking the place of fear.
【5】The researchers irritated (激怒) the students by __________.
A.recording their performance secretly
B.asking them to count to 6,200 again and again
C.disturbing them and making them start all over again
D.criticizing them when they made mistakes
24、India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday developed a series of new high-producing rice species, including herbicide-tolerant（耐除草剂的）rice that can be directly planted into the soil, cutting the huge expenses on water and farm workers.
In India, the world's biggest rice exporter, the traditional method of rice growing requires farmers to grow seeds in nurseries, and then wait for 20 to 30 days before transplanting the small plants by hand into the fields that are ankle-deep in water.
With the new seed species, developed by the state-run Indian Agricultural Research Institute, farmers only need to water the field once to moisten（使湿润）the soil before planting the rice. Besides, the traditional method also uses a lot of water to control weeds as herbicides are costly and often do not distinguish between the rice and the unwanted weeds.
Government scientists said the new rice species contains a gene that would allow farmers to use a common, inexpensive herbicide without worrying about any side effects. “Our focus is very high on new seeds that can be adapted to new conditions, especially in changing climates,” Modi said.
Water conservation is likely to be the main attraction of the new rice species in India, where farmers rely heavily on monsoon（季风）rains. “The traditional method uses 3,000 to 5,000 liters（升）of water to produce 1 kg of rice. The new species could cut water use by at least 50% to 60%,” farmers and government officials say. "For farmers like us, the main concern was the management of water, and the new species takes care of that concern," said Ravindra Kajal, who grows rice on his 9-acre farmland in the northern state of Haryana.
【1】What is the advantage of the new rice species?
A．It can remove all the weeds.
B．It can be planted in any field.
C．It needs less water to grow.
D．It needs less soil to grow.
【2】Why can farmers use a common herbicide to the new rice species?
A．Because the new crop species contains herbicide itself.
B．Because the new crop species resists a common herbicide.
C．Because the common herbicide is relatively cheaper.
D．Because the common herbicide can moisten the soil.
【3】What makes India consider planting the new rice species?
A．Its climate.
B．Its plentiful funds.
C．Its tradition.
D．Its lack of herbicide.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．India has completely changed its rice species.
B．The farmers prefer planting new rice species.
C．India is trying to promote its new rice species.
D．The new rice species produces the most rice in India.
25、I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And_______otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always_______to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this_______after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy_______because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the_______to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “_______for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the_______of it! When I first
started_______the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much_______what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get________and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.________, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to________on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I
didn’t________“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the________and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive________in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the________— friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my________self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from________in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,________raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent________I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
