21、In June 2019, Steve Wilson was going on a bike ride. Like many of us often do, he checked his phone beforehand, and saw a moving post about his friend’s daughter Linda. “She was a junior in high school at the time; she just received a life-saving kidney (肾) from a woman in town,” Wilson told CBS News. “And they didn’t even know this woman till they made the request for their daughter.”
“So, I became emotional. I just thought that is the coolest thing,” said Wilson, who lives in Westchester, N.Y. “I took a long bike ride and I kept thinking, ‘I would love to do something like that one day.’”
After seeing the post, Wilson selflessly decided to become a living donor himself, donating a kidney, while he was alive, to someone he didn’t know.
“I knew it would go to someone. It eventually went to someone across the country,” Wilson said. “They took my kidney to the airport and flew it out to the West Coast.” He said he still doesn’t know the person who received his kidney and he probably never will, which he’s fine with. He just wanted it to change somebody’s life, he said.
Going through an operation may seem frightening, but Wilson says all it takes is two weeks of one’s life for recovery. And to prove that it isn’t burdensome, Wilson and his fellow living donors finished an even harder mission: Conquering (征服) Mount Kilimanjaro.
“I do think that having that purpose made it a little bit easier. But there were some people — and I was one of them — who really ploughed hard to get through. And the purpose behind it was the reason why you just kept going,” Wilson said.
The team reached the summit on March 10 — symbolically, World Kidney Day. As for whether the climb to encourage living donations was worth it, Wilson said he inspired at least his friends to consider becoming living donors, but he thinks the Kilimanjaro summit could have inspired countless others.
【1】What made Steve Wilson decide to donate his kidney?
A.His past life experience.

A.Generous and caring.
B.Smart and hardworking.
C.Outgoing and humorous.
D.Ambitious and adventurous.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

D.Conquering a Mountain After Donating a Kidney
22、Most students feel more anxiety before and during an exam. Normal levels of stress can help you work, think faster and more effectively, and generally help you perform better in exams. 【1】 It can cause your mind to “blank out” or make you unable to concentrate. Here are some strategies to help you keep your anxiety to a manageable level.
The better prepared you get for an exam, the less anxiety you'll suffer from. 【2】 Six weeks before the exams is probably soon enough for the end of year exams, depending on where you are in your studies and what year you are in. Maintain your health-eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep and exercise regularly. 【3】 Look at exams as an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills you've been learning throughout the term. The night before an exam, calmly review material one final time, organize all your supplies (your pens, calculator, eraser, and so on), and get a good night's sleep. Get to the exam on time. Don't talk to people outside the room because their nervousness could be “catching”.
【4】 If you're afraid you will forget important facts, write them down as soon as you get into exam. When needed, take a short relaxation break by closing your eyes, stretching(伸展) and relaxing muscles, and breathing deeply. If you start to panic, tell yourself. “I will stay calm. I can handle this.” Read directions carefully and stay focused on the exam. 【5】 Just keep working. Never leave early yourself.
A.Staying positive is also important.
B.Pay no attention to students who finish early.
C.However, too much anxiety can lower your performance.
D.Spend some time thinking about what is causing the anxiety.

G.Remember that most people feel tense at this point-it is only natural.
23、Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years — but unless we meet the truant officer (学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成)“overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law — as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
【1】 By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that_______.
A. work time is equal to rest times
B. many people have a day off on Mondays
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
【2】 The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people __________.
A. fail to make full use of their time
B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time
D. welcome flexible working hours
【3】According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they ______.
A. need to acquire knowledge B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions D. have to observe the law
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Our life is governed by the law of time.
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.
24、There is an old saying in English: “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group, which tolerated the pain for the longest time, was the group, which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins(内啡肽)in the brain. These are natural chemicals that diminish both stress and pain.
There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists(精神病学家)in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ conditions by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
