21、Hilde’s father was a reporter. He often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting.【1】She did the writing, her sister Izzy took pictures, and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper. Hilde wanted to cover big stories in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper.
The newspaper suddenly became famous when a murder happened in the town, and Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde.
【2】Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder.
Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter’’. Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls.【3】She responded with a YouTube video.“I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said.“I want to be taken seriously.’’
That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously. Sometimes, it was because of her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl.【4】Hilde continued reporting and her activities as a reporter have made her famous.
Now Hilde has published a book telling her own story and the challenges she has faced. Some of those challenges came from Hilde herself, struggling to figure out who she was as she grew older.【5】But she is still just 15, and has plenty of time to decide what she wants to do with her life. Her efforts have already inspired people around the world.
A.But she never let that stop her.
B.Hilde was upset by the complaints.
C.For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting.
D.When she was 8, Hilde started her own newspaper.
E.Her great success in reporting has changed her life.
F.Not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts, though.
G.She was clearly in a dilemma about how to solve the crisis.
22、 If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact.【1】 When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong.【2】One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. 【3】, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means––practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 【4】Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
【5】, learn from the poor: practice remembering.
A.Why is this?
B.What do you think of it?
C.So if you want a good memory
D.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory
E.When someone else says that he is poor in the health
F.The position is exactly the same as that of two people.
G.Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way
23、 At some point, you’ve likely encountered a long, flat time when your reserve of recommended books ran dry. Thankfully, there are personalized book recommendation websites across the Internet to save us.
WHICHBOOK
On Whichbook, book recommendations are calculated by one out of two categories: 1. Mood, or 2. Character, setting, and plot. The reader has the choice to use slides on the “Mood” section to rate what they’re looking for in a book. Do you want a book that is completely happy? Or on the border between safe and disturbing? There is also the option to select your desired character traits, the story setting, or plot points that you’d like included in the recommendation.
READGEEK
In order to get a hold of book suggestions, simply rate a few books that you’ve read on a 1—10 scale. After you finish rating as many as you’d like, Readgeek calculates which books you’d most likely enjoy based on your previous ratings.
LITERATURE MAP
At Literature Map, you can type in an author’s name and then view similar authors that other readers are enjoying. The site generates a map that displays author names in relative states of closeness. The closer the authors, the more likely other readers enjoyed both.
GOODREADS
Goodreads provides a space for people to track their reading, write reviews, and view books, lists, and authors that match their interests. When creating an account on Goodreads, the reader has the opportunity to create original book lists.

24、Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch — or wake up early in order not to miss —varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.
Around the world, people change sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. For example, Russia began to wake up about a half — hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time” starting on October 26.
Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a.m. Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.
The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the UK was the night of the England — Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.
It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?
【1】According to the author, people’s different sleeping habits are connected with ________.
A.Their different cultural backgrounds.
B.Their needs to catch up on sleep.
C.Their schedule during daytime.
D.Their enthusiasm for sports.
【2】What do we learn about the Russians concerning sleep?
A.Their sleep patterns change due to different holidays.
B.They have more sleep in some particular festivals.
C.They have earlier mornings in the winter time.
D.They have the shortest sleep in the world.
【3】What is the main reason for Europeans’ less sleep?
A.The daylight savings time.
B.The night phenomenon.
C.The summer time
D.A sports event.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Almost everyone can record their sleep patterns.
B.Few people really know the importance of sleep.
C.Average people probably have deep sleep.
D.It is important to record sleep every day.
