21、Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
◆ Study with a partner or in groups
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. 【1】Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.
◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” If in doubt, by all means, ask your teachers. 【2】Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.
◆ Paint bigger pictures
【3】It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture.
Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.
Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405.
The bottom is easier right? It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.
◆ 【4】
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
◆ Take breaks to relax your brain
Your brain is like a muscle. 【5】But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.
A．Feed your brain.
B．It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C．Relax your brain by eating and drinking.
D．Learn from them for the coming test.
E．You have probably experienced a lot of tests and quizzes by now.
F．Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.
G．Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.
22、As experts warn of a coming food crisis, the vertical farming industry aims to create plants that offer more nutritional value and require fewer resources. In vertical farms, plants are grown indoors. Each set of plants is placed above another. Workers control the climate and closely monitor each plant’s growth.
AeroFarms is one of the top indoor-farming companies. One of its vertical farms is in a large building near a busy road in Newark. It grows more than 250 kinds of greens and herbs. Farmers wear gloves, coats and coverings on their heads. Their shoes must be cleaned.
AeroFarms grows crops at the same rate throughout the year. The methods it uses lower soil destruction. They also reduce the amount of pesticides and water needed to grow the crops. The company says carbon emissions are heavily reduced. “We could do this whether it is in the Sahara Desert or a city like Newark,” David, the chief executive officer of AeroFarms, said. “We think about how we can really bring and celebrate different types of greens.”
Alina, a dietitian and nutritionist at AeroFarms, says she wants people to eat more leafy greens like kale, one of the most nutritionally dense foods. She says if her company is to successfully encourage this kind of healthy eating, it must grow crops that taste good. “Americans especially don’t eat enough vegetables, and so for me the most exciting part is all of the different flavors that we have here. It makes eating your vegetables so much more exciting and so much more fun.” CEO David believes the company’s kale is tasty. “A lot of people like the nutritional density of kale, but they don’t like the taste. So we can make a sweeter kale,” he said. “AeroFarms is helping the world deal with a growing food shortage and people must change their focus from the number of calories they consume to the nutrition levels of the foods they eat.”
Recent World Bank studies predict that an estimated global population of 9 billion in 2050 will require at least 50 percent more food. Experts say the crisis will be worsened by climate change, which they believe will reduce crop harvests by more than 25 percent during that time. They say the food crisis will have a larger effect on the world’s poorest citizens than on those who live in developed countries.
【1】What can we learn about vertical farms?
A．They are mostly of vast size.
B．They aim to plant tasty foods.
C．They grow crops half the year.
D．They can control the environmental factors.
【2】Which of the following is a requirement for farmers in Aero-Farms?
A．Complete confidence.
B．Physical strength.
C．Sociability.
D．Tidiness.
【3】How are the crops in AeroFarms?
A．Muddy.
B．Energy-efficient.
C．Watery.
D．Quick-growing.
【4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A．The popularity of vertical farming.
B．The consequence of climate change.
C．The necessity of new farming approaches.
D．The seriousness of population problems.

24、 April is National Poetry Month and naturally a great time to explore the powers of poetry. Reading and writing poetry engage our senses along with our emotions. Both have highly therapeutic (治疗的) effects on the mind.
The structure of a poem favors brief language yet the best poems also capture brief detail, making them powerful in getting a message across to the reader. Writing poetry requires extremely disciplined choice of words and the number of words, to create a sharp and accurate snapshot of the poet’s feeling. This combination of conciseness and detail gives the reader open access to the poet’s mind and enables the reader to truly connect with him.
Writing poetry requires us to be open and honest about our feelings so that we can voice them through pen and paper. This acknowledgement of our innermost thoughts allows us to be true to ourselves and boosts our self-respect.
The best poetry is written when we are truly in the midst of our emotions. This is when the release of emotions to pen and then paper as an outlet calms us and enables us to move forward.
Poetry’s powerful healing qualities have been documented during both world wars and the American civil war: poems were read to soldiers to help them cope with sufferings and the cruelty of war. Doctors would write poems for patients, emotionally connecting with them. A good example of this is John Keats who also trained as a doctor.
Poetry has also been used by modern-day doctors and physicians at Yale University School of Medicine and University College London School of Medicine. Yale actually has a committee that maintains a required literary reading list which includes poetry. Poetry allows both the doctor and the patient to understand the emotions that the patient might be going through.
The use of poetry continues to grow as a recognized form of therapy. More psychotherapists across the US, UK and Europe continue to use poetry therapy as part of their practice. Globally the International Federation for Poetry Therapy sets standards of excellence in the training of practitioners in the field of poetry therapy, qualifying them to practice.
【1】What contributes to the highly therapeutic power of reading and writing poetry?
A.The close link in emotions between readers and poets.
B.The accurate snapshot of poets’ feeling.
C.The deliberate choice of words.
D.The brief structure of poetry.
【2】According to the author, which of the following is most likely to be a best poem?
A.A poem applying effective writing techniques.
B.A poem describing the beauty of nature by imagination.
C.A poem borrowing ideas from other poets’ masterpieces.
D.A poem conveying one’s real thoughts and true feelings.
【3】The author explains the use of poetry as a form of therapy in history by ______ .
A.analyzing causes B.giving examples
C.making a comparison D.presenting research findings
【4】What message does the passage mainly convey?
A.Poetry is an opening to let out your emotions.
B.Poetry is a good medicine to cure a variety of diseases.
C.Poetry’s healing qualities can make a difference to a reader’s mind.
D.Poetry’s unique art form makes poems gain wide popularity in history.
