21、I hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.
One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.
That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.
I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.
It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

22、Depending on the topic, people's opinions can change from moment to moment or last a lifetime. The factors that make one opinion long-lasting and another short-lived, however, are not always clear.
Past studies have shown that opinions based on hard facts and data can remain constant over time, but new research published in the journal Psychological Science finds that opinions based on feelings and emotions can also stand the test of time.
As part of their study, the researchers asked more than 1,000 people to what degree they believed opinions based on feelings or emotional reactions were more stable over time than those based on thinking and reasoned analysis. Only 15% expressed any belief that opinions based on emotion would be more stable over time.
To test the role that emotion plays in forming long-lasting opinions, the researchers conducted seven independent studies involving more than 20,000 participants in various real-world situations.
The first survey, which was conducted the day after Christmas, measured feelings about recently received gifts. The participants were given a list of adjectives （形容词）to describe their opinions toward their gifts. Adjectives like "worthwhile" were associated with a practical reaction to the gift, while words like "delightful" were more strongly associated with an emotional reaction. One month later, the participants completed a follow-up survey to test the endurance （持久性）of their opinions. The results showed that the stronger the positive emotional reaction, the more likely that opinion remained fixed one month later.
In the final test, participants read one of two messages about an imaginary sea animal. One message contained broad-ranging facts about the animal （low-emotion condition）. The other message was about a swimmer's underwater interaction with the animal （high-emotion condition）. The participants in the high-emotion condition showed significantly less change in their opinions across time.
"Emotionality is an unrecognized predictor （预测因子）of long-lasting opinions, said Andrew Luttrell, a researcher at Ball State University. "These findings are important for understanding why some opinions are so difficult to change as well as how to create opinions that stick."
【1】What did the survey of 1000 people show?

B．Opinions based on hard facts could stand the test of time.
C．The role of emotion was not recognized by most of the people.
D．Only a small percentage of people dared to express their opinions.
【2】Which statement will lead to a long-lasting opinion according to the research?
A．The car is safe.
B．The movie is boring.
C．The book is valuable.
D．The speech is exciting.
【3】Which is true about the findings of the research?
A．They have been concluded from hard facts.
B．They have been used to prove other predictors.
C．They help understand the endurance of opinions.
D．They have something to do with creative opinions.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Emotion varies based on different facts
B．Emotion can help clarify the opinions
C．Opinions can last when based on emotion
D．Opinions once formed are hard to change
23、We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims(声称) that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution(解决办法) is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint(线索) from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney(肾) which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
【1】How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
A. By studying Western medicine.
B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
【2】What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A. People’s good kidney.
B. Medical treatment.
C. Level of people’s activity.
D. Positive life attitude.
【3】The reason why people become old is that _________.
A. their bodies are unable to fight diseases
B. they have reduced strength, loss of hair
C. their bodies produce T-cells
D. they become weaker and weaker
【4】We can probably learn from the passage that _________.
A. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
B. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is
C. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
D. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young
