21、Do Lobsters Feel Pain?
The traditional method for cooking a lobster (龙虾) — boiling it alive — raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. 【1】. Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die, and eating a dead lobster increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor. However, if lobsters are capable of feeling pain, the method and others, such as storing the live lobster on ice, raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.
【2】. Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans, but instead of a single brain, they possess nerve cluster (神经簇). Because of this difference, some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, learn to avoid dangerous situations, respond to anesthetics, and are believed to possess some level of consciousness. So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
【3】, so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice. Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland, New Zealand, and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.
The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes a lobster, making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. 【4】.
Unfortunately, the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford. Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours, during which time it loses consciousness and dies. 【5】, but it is probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.
A．This solution is not ideal
B．And then, it can be cut apart or boiled
C．Lobsters are popular food in many countries
D．There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel pain
E．Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel pain
F．Many restaurants choose more humane methods to cook it
G．This cooking way is used to improve humans’ dining experience
22、How to Boost Self -Motivation
Motivation is the stimulus that enables you to take positive action. How, then, do we stay motivated once we have committed ourselves to action? 【1】. Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
【2】.
When you are faced with a setback, don’t just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other obstacles. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Believing in your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator.
Keep your motives in mind.
Periodically, it is good to step back and take a critical look at what you are doing and why. This will help you to see whether your motives are the same as they were at the start of your venture. 【3】. Doing something for the wrong motives, especially those that fall outside the law, can be a source of immense worry and certainly will lead to motivation being affected.
Avoid stress.
Stress is a killer. There is nothing worse than worrying about worrying. Ensure that you carry out small tasks promptly, that you are organized and that the plan and timetable you laid out at the start are still being followed. 【4】. Set aside time for your family and relaxation.
Happiness is a choice.
Don’t let problems, difficulties get you down. They are temporary. 【5】. Choose to stay happy, to be contented, and motivated. Stay cheerful, and you will be easier to work with, and others will be more likely to help you out. Remember that happiness should not be a final goal. It must be the way you lead your life.
A.Have self-belief.
B.Self-motivation requires effort.
C.Don’t take worries home with you.
D.With a bit of effort, they will be solved.
E.Think about why your self-motivation has been lost.
F.Motives can change, and not always for the right reasons.
G.Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you feel frustration.
23、Jerry Morrison was already shooting for the stars at six. “I want to live on another planet,” Jerry told his uncle, Joey Jefferson, at StoryCorps in November. Jefferson, 29. also fell in love with space at an early age. Today he’s a mission operations engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab.
Jefferson, who lives in California, and Jerry, who lives in Florida, meet up a few times a year, and their conversations are always about their common interest in space.
“What kind of planet would you live on? Are you going to say Mars?” Jefferson asked. No, Jerry wants to live much farther from Mars: on an exoplanet (a planet beyond the edge of the solar system) called Kepler-452b. NASA announced its discovery of the Earth-like planet in 2015.
Jefferson wants his nephew to not only hold on to his curiosity but also share what he learns with others. And Jerry has already gotten the chance to do that. As a kindergartner last year, he taught a lesson to the fifth graders in his school about the planets of the solar system.
“It was a big chance for me,” Jerry said. “I felt so proud.”
Jerry said he learned about space from his uncle. “I learned from you a lot, like more than I could imagine.” Jerry said.
“You’re learning so much by yourself, too, that you’re teaching me as well,” Jefferson said. “And that’s really cool. The more you learn, the more you realize the little things in life we take for granted are the very things that make life possible. So when I look up at the stars. I think about that.”

24、When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.
“Hello?” she called. “Celia? Marie”
There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn’t on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn’t know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends — her, Celia, and Marie.
But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
“Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat.” Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That’s why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie’s side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina’s mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn’t become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill (寒意) down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie’s dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn’t seem to mind becoming wet.
【1】What can be inferred about the island?
A．It is very near the ocean.
B．It is a popular place for boating.
C．It is surrounded by thick forest.
D．It has never been reached by others.
【2】Why did Lina get angry?
A．Marie would not help row the boat.
B．Lina was left alone on the island.
C．Marie didn't know how to row the boat.
D．Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
【3】What caused Lina to feel a chill?
A．Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B．The first raindrops of the approaching storm.
C．The idea that no one would come to save her.
D．The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
【4】Who pulled Lina out of the water?
A．Marie’s father.
B．Lina herself.
C．Marie.
D．CeliA.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Okay, guys, I have to make a quick announcement!” Our teacher held up the brochures so all the students could see them. “These are brochures filled with information about an opportunity to become an exchange student and experience different parts of the world. I will pass them around so you may look at them.”
When my friend, Jenny and I received them, we started reading immediately. I was impressed by all the colorful and bright pictures of high schools with their animal mascots, host families who were smiling into the camera together with their exchange students, soccer players on the field and cheerleaders who were performing in a gym in the UK. The picture of the cheerleaders caught my attention. Two girls were standing on the floor with the third girl’s feet on their shoulders. I also loved the pictures of the host families. I imagined how it would feel to life with a foreign family. I felt that I wanted to experience a life in another country and to learn about its people and culture.
I was continually dreaming of going to a different country for ten months, living with a host family and going to a high school abroad. But it was almost the end of grade two and I thought there was no possible chance for me to do this in my following year of high school.
“I would love to have an exchange year in the UK. It’s too bad that I am late for applying for this.” I said with a disappointed voice. “No, you’re not! You’re probably too late to apply for it in grade three, but now you still have time.” Jenny said. I regained my hopes of going to the UK as an exchange student.
I applied to become an exchange student in the UK. I had to fill out many forms about my hobbies, my dreams, my strengths and weaknesses. Also, I had to write what I thought about Britain and a letter to my future host family.
