21、Most people ride the bus to get from point A to point B, and many find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. But why? 【1】.
White noise
White noise is a type of noise produced by combining sounds with different frequencies (频率) together. Buses often get crowded every day with people going to and from work. Therefore, they are the perfect environment for white noise. 【2】 , which is helpful for people to get sleep.
Rocking motion
Another popular view on why it’s easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking motion. The motion of buses is like a mother swaying (摇晃) a baby in her arms. 【3】. Rather, it’s the association between rocking and sleeping. If you were rocked to sleep as a baby, you’d associate that rocking motion with going to sleep.
【4】
On buses, you don’t move around very much. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as the vehicle moves along the road. Basically, you’re away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy. This situation also slows your brain activity down because there’s no stimulus (刺激物) to keep it awake.

E.There are several possible reasons
F.White noise masks distracting sounds
G.However, it’s not exactly the motion that works

Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement.

23、The SAT, a college admissions exam long associated with paper and pencil, will soon go all digital.
Starting in 2024 in the US, the new digital SAT will shrink (缩减) from three hours to two, include shorter reading passages and allow students to use a calculator on the math section. Testing will sill take place at a test center or at a school, but students will be able in choose between using, their own devices—including a tablet or a laptop—or the school’s devices.
“The digital SAT will be more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez of the: College Board, the organization behind the test. “With input from educators and students, we are adapting to ensure we continue to meet their evolving needs.”
The College Board previously cancelled plans to offer an at-home digital test because of concern about students’ being able to access three hours of uninterrupted Internet and power. Student broadband (宽带) access has been a constant struggle throughout the pandemic, especially in rural and low-income areas. The new SAT will be designed to autosave, so students won’t lose work or time while they reconnect.
All this comes as the relevance of the SAT and ACT, another college: entrance exam, is being called into question in the college admissions process. More than 1,800 US colleges are not requiring a test score for students applying to enroll in fall 2022. At least 1,400 of those schools have extended their test policies through at least the fall of 2023.
Still, the SAT and ACT are deeply rooted in the American high school experience. More than a dozen states require one of the exams to graduate. And despite many colleges making the test optional, some students see value in it.
“The test definitely doesn’t offer the full profile (描述) of who a student is,” explains Kirsten Amematsro, a junior at Potomac High School in Dumfries, Va. “But having good SAT will be ‘a cherry on top’ of your application. It just kind of speaks to what you can accomplish in your testing ability.”
【1】What can we infer about the new digital SAT?
A.It will be less demanding.
B.It will take place at home.
C.I will last longer.
D.It will cover more subjects.
【2】What may be a reason for the College Board giving up the former plans?
A.They were harmful to the students.
B.The test wasn’t relevant.
C.The students didn’t like them.
D.The students might suffer an unstable network.
【3】What did Kirsten Amematsro think of the SAT and ACT?
A.They will be cancelled.
B.They are not necessary.
C.They still matter indeed.
D.They shouldn’t be optional.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The SAT loses its charm in the US.
B.The new SAT will become popular.
C.US students will take the SAT online.
D.An SAT score is unnecessary in one’s application.
