21、Here’s a simple question — answer it honestly, because your response could boost the level of pleasure in your daily life, put off dementia (痴呆), and even help you live longer. How many hours did you spend reading last week?
Recently, when researcher Mathew P. White and his workmates at the Yale School of Public Health dug into 12 years of information about the reading habits and health of more than 3,600 men and women, a hopeful pattern became known. Book readers who report more than three hours of weekly reading are 23 percent less likely to die than those who read only newspapers or magazines.
To understand why and what each of us can do to get the most out of our words, start by asking the same question the Yale team did. What is it about reading books that increases our brain power while reading newspapers doesn’t?
For one, the researchers suggest that chapter books encourage “deep reading”. Unlike, say, looking through a page of headlines, reading a book forces your brain to think creatively and make connections from one chapter to another, and to the outside world. When you make connections, so does your brain. Over time, these neural networks (神经网络) can promote quicker thinking, which provides greater protection against dementia.
Secondly, reading books, especially novels, has been shown to increase empathy (共鸣) and emotional intelligence. Developing social tools such as empathy and emotional intelligence can lead to more (and more positive) human interaction, which in turn can lower stress levels — both of which are proven to help you live longer and healthier.
That’s not to say that magazines, newspapers, and online articles are of no good. Reading anything that fills your mind seems to bring about mental benefits. When it comes to words, addiction is encouraged. Because it pays to increase your word power — today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.
【1】What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Remove.
B．Reduce.
C．Improve.
D．Create.
【2】How did White carry out the research?
A．By experimentation.
B．By direct observation.
C．By interviewing in person.
D．By referring to former facts.
【3】In which way does reading books increase our brain power?
A．Promoting brain growth.
B．Preventing us from ageing.
C．Keeping us free from stress.
D．Strengthening neural networks.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to reading online articles?
A．Negative.
B．Positive.
C．Uncertain.
D．Unconcerned.
22、How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start
Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. 【1】 Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again.
Little steps for big tasks.
Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. 【2】 One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit.
【3】
Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them.
Tune out negative thoughts.
When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. 【4】 Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns.
Give yourself credit.
【5】 But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task.
However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals.
A．Never give up.
B．Expect difficulties.
C．Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.
D．We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside,
E．By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them.
F．Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future.
G．Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.
23、How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology that was supposed to simplify our lives has become the vital time-suck: the average teen spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices, plus an additional hour just text-messaging friends.
The advantage of technological devices is connectedness: email lets us respond on the go, and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible we’re more lonely than ever, too? That’s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book, Alone Together, a fascinating portrait of our changing relationship with technology. Turkle details the ways technology has redefined our comprehension of closeness and loneliness—and warns us of the danger of accepting such virtual(虚拟的) relationships in place of lasting emotional connections.
For Turkle, the biggest worry is the effect all these shallow connections have on our development. Is technology offering us the lives we want to live? “We’re texting people at a distance,” says Turkle, “We’re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone—constantly on our mobile devices. It’s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections.”
What can’t be denied is that technology, whatever its faults, makes life a whole lot easier. It allows us to communicate with more people in less time and makes conversation simple. But it can also be seductive(具有诱惑性的), providing more stimulation than our natural lives. There are usually some unhealthy videos online which remove teenagers’ attention from their schoolwork. Besides, some online activities make people addicted, which occupied their daily life and affected their ability to form real-world relationships.“Technology can be more immediately satisfying than the labor of building an intimate relationship,” said one highschool student, “Every time I text, I start to have some happy feelings.”
But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in real, face-to-face communication? Online, you can neglect others’ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is less sympathetic than ever. That doesn’t spell disaster, says Turkle—but，
【1】From the first paragraph we can infer that_________.
A. email checking helps people wake up early
B. technological device production has been simplified
C. using technological devices costs teens much time
D. people communicate mainly by text-messaging now
【2】Turkle’s new book mainly discussed________.
A. ways to draw a fascinating portrait
B. how technology influences human relationships
C. the dangers of accepting emotional connections
D. the advantages of technology
【3】What worries Turkle most is that more and more people are_________.
A. starting to accept emotional connections in place of virtual connections
B. convincing themselves by using fewer lifeless objects in connections
C. dropping the use of technological devices for connection with each other
D.being affected by the shallow connections through the mobile devices
【4】Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Others’ feelings can be ignored in online communication.
B. No stimulation is provided in natural life connections.
C. People always send text messages to avoid eye contact.
D. It may be a disaster that teens are less sympathetic than ever.
【5】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To instruct people how to do with emails.
B. To stress the importance of technology.
C. To promote a wider use of technological devices.
D. To lead us to consider what’s important in human connections.
24、Since the age of 5, Laura Lee has had what most would consider an odd habit-she collects toilet rolls. At that time, she didn’t know this habit would eventually become a nationwide recycling campaign.
In December 2018, as a 16-year-old student of Nanyang Girls’ High School in Singapore, Lee founded ToiletRollSG, a national project that aims to collect 1,000 kilograms of cardboard cylinders — or about 150,000 pieces. As of February of 2021, Lee, who was studying at Hwa Chong Institution, had collected 860 kg of toilet rolls, reported Singapore Today. Slightly later, she was awarded Singapore’s National Environment Agency’s Ecofriend Awards, which recognizes individuals for their contributions to the environment, under the Youth and Students category.
But why did she choose toilet rolls? “They are convenient to collect and also one of the purest forms of waste to recycle because they are made of only one material,” Lee told Singapore Today. “Project must be economically practical too. For example, it’s more difficult to recycle pens because they are made up of too many different materials like rubber casings, metals and plastics which require more resources to separate.”
Lee went into a partnership with the waste management firm Veolia, which gives her five cents for every 1 kg of toilet rolls collected.
She organized “toilet roll challenges” within Nanyang Girls’ High School and worked with cleaners to collect used toilet rolls from school toilets. She also conducted talks about ToiletRollSG. But due to COVID-19, she has been unable to conduct physical talks, so she raises awareness about different social causes through her Instagram Live series called On A Roll.
One of the biggest challenges Lee has faced has been others doubting her due to her young age. “I always have to use my actions as well as the different things I’ve done to prove that I’m passionate and know about this,” she told The Straits Times.
Lee will donate the money collected to a social cause that is focused on community health.
