21、With researchers suggesting that sitting is the new smoking, sit-stand desks (SSD) have become a common tool to interrupt long sitting in an office or classroom environment. As this furniture becomes popular, conflicting opinions have arisen on whether they can work as successfully as they are intended. Dr. April Chambers from the University of Pittsburgh worked with teammates to gather data from 3 studies and published a review article listing present information on the benefits of SSDs.
“There has been a great deal of scientific research about sit-stand desks in the past few years, but we have only scratched the surface of this topic,” said Chambers. I want to gather what we’ve known so far to figure out how we can use these desks to better benefit people in the workplace.
This work was done with Dr. Nancy A. Baker from Tufts University. The review examines the effects of a sit-stand desk in the following aspects: behavior, physiological(生理的), work performance, psychological, discomfort, and posture. Their work showed that using an SSD effectively got participants to sit less and stand more and that the device made users more comfortable at work. However, many frustrations (沮丧) with SSDs came from the physiological outcomes. According to the review, physiological effects were the most studied, but there were no significant results with regards to fatness.
There are many considerations about using an SSD most effectively, such as desk height, monitor height, and the amount of time to stand. Chambers believes that the overall arrangement of the workplace or study place and the amount of work are two factors that should be further studied.
Chambers noted that present research is limited because many of the studies were done with young and healthy subjects who were asked to use the desk for a week or a month at most. Since some of the significant benefits are with heart health or muscle discomfort, it may be beneficial to perform additional studies with middle-aged or overweight workers.
【1】The arguments about SSDs mainly lie in .
A．their side effects
B．their popularity
C．their practical results
D．their original intentions
【2】Why did Chambers publish the article?
A．To call on people to stand more.
B．To suggest ways to better use SSDs.
C．To contradict the existing opinions.
D．To find out the drawbacks of SSDs.
【3】What’s the researchers’ attitude to SSDs’ physiological result?
A．Disappointed.
B．Content.
C．Positive.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What needs to be further examined according to Chambers?
A．The height of the desk and the monitor.
B．The time people spend in standing.
C．Behavior and psychological aspects.
D．A broader range of the participants.
22、 One of the major producers of athletic footwear, with 2002 sales of over $10 billion, is a company called Nike, with corporate headquarters (总部) in Beaverton, Oregon. Forbes magazine identified Nike's president, Philip Knight, as the 53rd-ichest man in the world in 2004. But Nike has not always been a large multimillion-dollar organization. In fact, Knight started the company by selling shoes from the back of his car at track meets,
In the late 1950s Philip Knight was a middle distance runner on the University of Oregon track team, coached by Bill Bowerman. One of the top track coaches in the U, S., Bowerman was also known for experimenting with the design of running shoes in an attempt to make them lighter and more shock-absorbent. After attending Oregon, Knight moved on to do graduate work at Stanford University; his MBA thesis was on marketing athletic shoes. Once he received his degree, Knight traveled to Japan to contact the Onitsuka Tiger Company, a manufacturer of athletic shoes. Knight convinced the company's officials of the potential for its product in the U. S. In 1963 he received his first shipment of Tiger shoes, 200 pairs in total.
In 1964, Knight and Bowerman contributed $500 each to form Blue Ribbon Sports, the predecessor of Nike. The first employees hired by Knight were former college athletes. The company did not have the money to hire “experts”, those knowledgeable in the field. In its early years the organization operated in an unconventional manner that characterized its creative approach to the industry. Communication was informal; people discussed ideas and issues in the hallways, on a run, or over a beer. There was little task differentiation. There were no job descriptions, rigid reporting systems, or detailed rules. The team spirit and shared values of the athletes on Bowerman's teams carried over and provided the basis for the style of management that characterized the early years of Nike.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A．Nike is the most popular athletic brand.
B．Nike developed from Blue Ribbon Sports.
C．Knight in the 53rd richest man in the world.
D．Knight was once a long-distance runner.
【2】Why did Knight travel to Japan?
A．To advertise his product.
B．To seek for financial support
C．To apply for the selling right.
D．To learn their management.
【3】What difficulty did Nike face in its early stage?
A．A lack of professionals.
B．A lack of creativity.
C．A lack of team spirits.
D．A tack of communication.
23、Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool, which can be connected to any object you might lose, may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range (范围). If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.
When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.
For further information, please visit www. tile666.com.
【1】What can the Tile app help you?
A. To find other phone users.
B. To find your missing items.
C. To save your phone’s power.
D. To use your phone more wisely.
【2】What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What the Tile app is.
B. How the Tile app works.
C. Why the Tile app was created.
D. What the advantages of the Tile app are.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Tile need be charged after a year of use.
B. One smart phone can only be linked up with one Tile.
C. The Tile can’t be linked up with a phone without Bluetooth.
D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of your phone’s Bluetooth range.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A news report. B. Science fiction.
C. A personal diary. D. An advertisement.
24、To keep social distancing and work at home during the pandemic (流行病) has led to less time moving around, and more time sitting and looking at screens. For many office workers, working at home means spending hours sitting at our desk. 【1】. Therefore, exercise experts suggest things must be changed. Some tips here are to help you move more.
Start small
People trying to start exercising often get caught up in an “all or nothing” thinking which means either I do zero or I do two hours. And if I don’t get two hours, then it doesn’t count, or it’s not good enough. 【2】. Going from no activity at all to even a little bit will indeed get some health effects.
【3】
Part of developing a good exercise habit is to know yourself well. Knowing what’s possible and what’s not realistic for you. For instance, if you’re not a morning person, don’t plan to exercise in the morning. And if you hate running, don’t run just because someone tells you it’s good for you. 【4】. Arranging with a friend to work out will help you avoid struggling to get started.
Walk whenever you can
Sitting less and walking more will make a big difference. Use your stairs instead of an elevator. And if you don’t have to go out, just walk room to room back and forth to get those extra steps. If you have a meeting, use the break of that meeting to walk around. 【5】
A．Make sure to know yourself well
B．Choose a suitable time for yourself
C．All these steps will count and be helpful
D．That’s a great place for everybody to walk
E．But five minutes is believed to be better than none
F．And it is ruining our health physically and mentally
G．You can think of possible ways for you to start or stick to
25、I still remember my first fishing experience as if it were but yesterday. I have been _________ many times in my life (like when I got admitted to the best school), but never more intensely so than when I received that first fishing _________ from my uncle.
My uncle, who knew by long _________ where pickerel (梭鱼) would gather, _________ placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line and waited anxiously for a bite, _________ the float up and down rapidly on the surface of the water. But nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the float _________ out of sight. "Now for it," thought I, "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, only to bring up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle _________ . "Try once more," he said.“We fishermen must have _________ .”
Suddenly something tugged at my line, and swept off with it into deep water. Pulling it up quickly, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling (扭动) in the sun. "Uncle!”I cried, looking back in uncontrollable _________ , "I've got a fish!” "Not yet," said my uncle. Just then, I saw the scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream, my hook hung __________ from the line. I had lost my prize.
My heart sank with it and I felt like a failure. We tend to speak of the __________ of childhood as matters of little importance __________ those of grown-ups. Controlled by reason and self-respect, the sorrows of grown-ups __________ the social customs and rules of conduct __________ the sorrows of childhood are a complete abandonment to the passion. The doll's nose is broken, and the whole world __________ with it.
So, overcome with my bitter disappointment, I refused to be __________ , even by my uncle's guarantee that there were more fish in the river. He refitted my bait, and, putting the pole again in my hands, told me to try my luck once more.
"But remember, boy," he said, with a smile, "it's no use to boast of (自夸) anything before it's done, nor then, either, __________ it speaks for itself."
How often I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch __________! When I hear people talking about their distant aims as if they had already been achieved, I call to mind that __________ by the riverside, and the wise caution of my uncle takes the form of a proverb of __________ application: "NEVER BOAST OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."
