22、These days, if there’s something you’re scared about while traveling, from insect bites to having your credit card stolen on the beach, there’s a piece of technology to deal with it.
The Smart Suitcase
An IndieGogo campaign has produced the Bluesmart, a suitcase for people who like every part of their travel life to be connected — and the features are pretty impressive. The Bluesmart can be locked and unlocked via your phone, tracked worldwide, weigh its own contents, charge your devices, and warn you if it’s separated from you. It costs $329.00.
The Portable Water Sterilizer
If you’ve ever had Delhi Belly or any kind of waterborne disease while travelling, this will seem like a complete life saver. The SteriPen is a handheld UV water purifier, and can kill 99.9percent of waterborne bacteria and diseases in whatever water you stick it in. It can purify a full liter of water in 90 seconds. It’s also pretty reasonable at $69.95.
The RealTime Translator
Sigmo is designed to be a small, handheld realtime translator for 25 languages. It’s tiny—barely the size of a square of chocolate— and can be used with earphones or speakers and during phone calls. Right now, they’re predicting that it will be $65.00, but keep an eye on the developers for news.
The Cooling TeeShirt
Sol Cool is designed for people hiking around in heat. The fabric of the clothes has significant cooling functions when it comes to human body heat, creating a nice cool sense next to the skin. The fabric is also very highwicking and UV protected, so you can still wear clothes in extreme heat without boiling. A woman’s shirt costs $60.00.

23、Opened in September 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland is the second Disney Park in Asia. It experienced a difficult time upon its opening. The Park, as well as two themed hotels, was built on Lantau Island.
The Park opened to strong competition in the form of Ocean Park. Hong Kong Disneyland is one of only two parks in Hong Kong, which has become one of the world's leading cities in recent years. It kept Chinese cultural traditions in mind when they built the Park to avoid a cultural backlash (抵制). Designers added to the custom of Feng Shui.
Disney and Hong Kong announced the Park in 1999, and construction began in 2003. The Park had one of the shortest construction periods in Disney history. Disney actually announced that the opening of the Park would be brought forward, from 2006 to September 2005.
The Park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below the expected 5.6 million. There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark ride. Summer Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists. Autopia, Stitch Encounter and it's a Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more attractions at the Park.
The number of tourists dropped in 2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned a big expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its normal level. In July 2009, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed a three-land expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, and in 2010, Toy Story Land opened.
These new attractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit (盈利) in 2013. In that year, over 7 million guests entered the Park.
With enough room for a second Park and the promise of more attractions to come, it seems that there is indeed a great beautiful tomorrow for Hong Kong Disneyland.
【1】What do we know about Hong Kong Disneyland upon its opening?
A．It was the best Disney Park in Asia.
B．It wasn't very successful at first.

A．is much smaller in size

D．had a shorter period of time for construction
【3】What's the author's attitude toward the future of Hong Kong Disneyland?
A．Hopeful.
B．Worried.
C．Uninterested.
D．Doubtful.
24、Today, anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issues in the US, affecting 30% of adults. In 2021, a survey of 8,000 children led by Oxford University Press named anxiety as the Word of the Year. “It’s the word on everyone’s lip, the challenge of the moment,” Dr. Tracy Dennis Tiwary says, a professor of psychology, immersed in research — evaluating which mental health treatment worked and why.
The idea that anxiety is something to manage or eradicate, a habit to be broken, is wrong and actually doing us harm. It’s literally a recipe for more anxiety. This is central message in Dennis Tiwary’s new book, Future Tense. She concludes that the problem isn’t anxiety itself, but our belief about it and our attempts to avoid it, which are not only destined to fail, but make us weaker and more fragile. It’s a vicious cycle.
To help reframe anxiety as an ally not an enemy, Dennis takes a deep dive into the emotion itself. Anxiety is different to fear, which is the certainty that something bad is happening to you. Anxiety is about uncertainty; it’s the feeling that something bad could happen, but might not. Unlike fear, anxiety contains hope. Anxiety can focus the mind, drive you to revise harder, to see a doctor, to seek new pathways towards your chosen career.
Anxiety helps us forge forwards with creative solutions, but there are times when there is little we can do to address a future uncertainty. Dennis suggests many ways of coping with it. Connecting with friends and family is a soothing first step. Cultivating things that immerse you in the present moment is also helpful. Our emotional systems are like immune systems. If it isn’t exposed to germs, it remains weak. It’s only by feeling our anxiety, listening and acting on it that we cope better next time.
【1】What is a common misunderstanding of anxiety?
A．Anxiety is wrong and doing us harm.
B．Anxiety is the challenge of the moment.
C．Anxiety is difficult to change, as a habit.
D．Anxiety is something to manage or eradicate.
【2】What does the underlined word “vicious” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Panic.
B．Complex.
C．Difficult.
D．Severe.
【3】How does the author mainly develop the last but one paragraph?

B．By making a comparison.
C．By making a definition.
D．By making a suggestion.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．How to Cope with Anxiety.
B．Anxiety can be Good for You.
C．Anxiety should be managed
D．Dennis Tiwary’s New Book — Future Tense.
