21、Wearing his bright red armband and speaking fluent Mandarin, from a distance 62-year-old Gao Tianrui could be taken for any regular Chinese man.
But on closer inspection, things are not quite what they seem:Gao’s real name is Terry Crossman and he is from the United States. Having lived in Beijing for more than20 years, Terry Crossman has finally fulfilled his Chinese dream: becoming a public security volunteer. Life as a “Xicheng Dama” has even made him an online celebrity.
Xicheng Dama are volunteers, usually women in late middle-age, who roam(闲逛) the streets of downtown Beijing’s Xicheng district. And now Crossman has joíned their club. He is seen giving tourists directions, getting water for a baby and even helping a neighbor sell yogurt.
“I like helping others,” he said. “I live in the hutong and my neighbors and I usually help each other… This is where I live, where my friends are and where I call home.”
Crossman became interested in Chinese culture as a teenager. At 18, he took a ship to Taiwan to learn Chinese. On the ship the captain suggested that he should have a Chinese name.“He named me Gao Tianrui,”he said.
Crossman and his family moved to Beijing in 1997. His parents separated when he was young, and he lived in many different places in the US, so he never felt like he had a regular home there. “I had no hometown in the United States,”he said. “Your home is where your things are. In this sense, Beijing is my home.”
He can often be found chatting with local people, especially taxi drivers. During his leisure time, Crossman teaches people English. Currently he is helping employees at a cafe near his home, telling them how to say useful words such as“set meal” and “discount”.
In March, Crossman met Liu Xiaoxia, who helped him get into volunteering. “He asked me to give him a red armband—the symbol of the volunteers.” Liu said, and Crossman is proud of his.
“In different periods I had different lives:married life, life with children and life alone,”he said. “Now I just enjoy living here.”

22、Chronobiologists (时间生物学家) are interested in what is known as the circadian (生理节奏的) rhythm. This is the complete cycle our bodies are naturally made to undergo within the passage of a twenty-four-hour day. Aside from sleeping at night and waking during the day, each cycle involves many factors. Not everyone has an identical circadian rhythm. 【1】
【2】 Recent therapeutic developments for humans such as artificial light machines and melatonin administration can reset our circadian rhythms, for example, but our bodies can tell the difference and health suffers when we break these natural rhythms for extended periods of time.
Knowledge of chronobiological patterns can have many realistic implications for our day-to-day lives. While contemporary living can sometimes appear to overcome biology—【3】—keeping in the same pace with our body clock is important.
After-dinner coffees are becoming more of a tradition, but to prepare for a good night’s sleep we are better off putting the brakes on caffeine consumption as early as 3 p.m. With a seven hour half-life, a cup of coffee containing 90 mg of caffeine taken at this hour could still leave 45 mg of caffeine in your nervous system at ten o’clock that evening.
Evenings are important for winding down before sleep; however, dietitian Geraldine Georgeou warns that an after-five-fast is more cultural myth than chronobiological demand. 【4】 However, overloading your gut could lead to indigestion. Our digestive tracts do not shut down for the night entirely, but their work slows to a crawl as our bodies prepare for sleep. Consuming a modest snack should be entirely sufficient.
A．This will deprive your body of vital energy needs.
B．This disorients your circadian rhythm and puts your body in full mode.
C．It is essential that, by the time you are ready to sleep, your body is rid of all traces.
D．Scientists have limited abilities to create durable modifications of chronobiological demands.
E．Night people, for example, find it hard to operate during the morning, but become alert by evening.
F．After all, who needs circadian rhythms when we have caffeine pills and cities that never sleep?
23、You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using standup comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to standup comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—and increasing endorphins (内啡肽). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
【1】Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To stress the importance of laugh.
B．To explain the harm trauma causes.
C．To show the effect of standup comedy.
D．To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
【2】How was the first six-week comedy course for patients?
A．Effective.
B．Ambiguous.
C．Controversial.
D．Fruitless.
【3】What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher?
A．Struggling moments.
B．Funny moments.
C．Happy moments.
D．Successful moments.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Laugh will cure you of all diseases
B．Anxiety can also make you feel better
C．Laughter is useful to people’s mental health
D．Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle
24、Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitledO Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm.
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work wasHyperionthat would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
【1】John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of ________.
A. his early education from school
B. the deaths of his parents
C. Edmund Spenser’s poetry
D. the criticism of a magazine
【2】What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?
A. They read many books.
B. They had a bad childhood.
C. They died of the same disease.
D. They showed strong interest in poetry.
【3】What do we know from the passage?
A. Keats received little education at school.
B. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D. Endymion was about a real love story.
【4】While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was ________.
A. determined B. experienced C. knowledgeable D. impatient
25、Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效)
Quality teaching depends on teachers' knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work.

In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make _________about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the _________ and comparability of school-based assessments(as in England and Australia), as well as schools internal assessment and evaluation process(as in Hong Kong).
In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’___________and progress in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social______________, the acquisition of workplace skills and the________________to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a ______________lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedback on what the inspections both saw and ________________.
