21、A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.
The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues.
“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.
The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media.”
The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also "visited various social media 30 times per week.”
Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.
Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be the most effective.
【1】What's the main idea of the text?

D.By doing questionnaires.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women.
B.People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder.
C.Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely.
D.Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media.
22、 A concrete bookstore under construction in Wisdom Bay innovation(创新)park in Shanghai will be the first 3D-printed bookstore in China, and it is due to open to the public at the end of January, 2021.
"The bookstore was printed on-site in three weeks," said He Yuting, who is responsible for this project, from Tsinghua University School of Architecture in Beijing. The printing work has finished and the bookstore will now be decorated. "Compared with simple works such as a 3D-printed flower pot, the bookstore is an innovative attempt in the architectural field, as 3D-printed architecture is cheaper than conventional construction techniques and saves time," he said. "What makes this bookstore so unique is that we used fiber concrete to resist compression(压缩)," he added, noting that the floor also has a heating system.
The 3D-printed bookstore is as safe as traditional concrete construction based on experimental data in terms of structure and earthquake resistance. With a floor area of about 30 square meters, the 3D-printed bookstore can accommodate 15 people inside at a time. The construction is composed of three parts—the main outer round wall, the roof, and the other part of the outside wall. The outer round wall was printed in situ(原地), and the other two parts were printed separately.
So far, different teams in France, Switzerland and Russia all have done similar research on 3D-printed concrete technology, but China's research and achievements in this field are among the best in the world, according to He Yuting.
In Wisdom Bay innovation park, there is also a 26.3-meter-long and 3.6-meter-wide 3D-printed bridge, the world's largest 3D-printed concrete bridge for walkers. "3D technology is being more widely used in medicine and autos as well as architecture and construction," Zhu Li, manager of Wisdom Bay innovation park and also a 3D tech expert, told the Global Times. "This new technology will be bound to benefit us in the future."
【1】What highlights 3D-printed architecture according to He Yuting?
A.It's safer and more solid.
B.It can strongly resist heat.
C.It's cheaper and time-saving
D.It has a larger space inside.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The structure of the 3D-printed bookstore.
B.The significance of the 3D-printing technology
C.The reason for building the 3D-printed bookstore.
D.The feature of conventional concrete construction
【3】What is Zhu Li's attitude towards 3D technology?

23、As I stood in line waiting to check out at my favorite store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship.
The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, along with some inexpensive items. Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll, some animal stickers, and a 50%-off pretty dress.
When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost, her face paled. She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously she didn’t have enough. She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile.
The child’s items remained in the cart, however. The man right behind me shouted loudly, and the young woman’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hut her.
Instead, I turned around and said to the man in a low voice, “Be grateful you’ve never had to do that!” And then, as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return, I said, “Take your time. I’m in no hurry.”
The woman finally reduced her groceries, paid and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered “ Separate bags, same bill please.” The cashier nodded and quickly complied. Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor. As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill.
That night, as I sat with my husband, my thoughts went to the Lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl, and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon.

24、Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo,_____________They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.
There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.
A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.
【1】What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?
A. Ban on building a new cemetery.
B. Ban on parking in certain zones.
C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.
D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.
【2】What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?
A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.
B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.
C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.
D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
【3】What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?
A. He remains silent about them.
B. He gives strong backing to them.
C. He objects to them.

25、I served as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard in Orange County, California. Late in a shift, another guard, Mike, phoned me, “Hey, I got a couple of kids playing close to the dangerous water section. I’m going to give them a _______. Keep an eye out for anything unusual.”
Sure enough, as soon as he _______, a huge wave sucked the two kids into the water. Mike saw it and rushed toward the ocean.
Their mother realized what was happening. She was shocked, _______. Before I was even halfway there, Mike had _______ into the deep water to pull them up. They were so _______ that they couldn’t walk, so Mike was carrying them, one under each _______.
The mother let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a new kind of panic washed over her as though there was a new, equally dangerous _______ to her kid’s lives. She rushed up, seized her kids and left without so much as a thank-you.
Mike had a _______ growing experience. His frightening tattoos(纹身) and shaved head with scars showed he wasn’t the _______ guard on the beach. I admitted I didn’t really get along with Mike. But his saving ability made up for everything he __________ in PR(公关) skills. If any other guard had been __________ that night, there would have been a very real __________ that the mother wasn’t going home with both her kids.
Maybe he wasn’t her idea of a knight in shining armor. But that wouldn’t change the fact that he had just __________ her kids.
That was over ten years ago. If you ask Mike about it today, I __________ if he’ll still remember it, but I won’t forget. As I jogged back to work that day, I promised myself I’d never let my own fear and __________ prevent me from recognizing a hero when I see one.
