21、It’s normal to long for the taste of French Fries or a cheese-covered pizza. Even though they’re full of calories, being addicted to them occasionally won’t do much harm.【1】The BBC’s Good Food Nation Survey showed that on average, 16- to 20-year- olds ate fast food at least twice a day in the UK.
So what’s behind this fast food craze? WebMD, an online publisher of news and information on human health and well-being, surveyed nearly 600 teenagers and adults in the United States.【2】
More than 92.3 percent of respondents said they were too busy to cook. Many find it challenging to balance work and life, and the convenience of fast food meets their needs. Fast food is readily available in corner stores and vending machines.【3】They’re ready in minutes, and you can store them at home for a long time.
【4】Sarah Toule, head of health information at the World Cancer Research Fund, told the BBC: “It’s frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much fast food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value.” She added, “Especially high in calories, fast food leads to unhealthy weight gain—which in turn increases the risk of cancers later in life.”
【5】Toule suggested that young people should prepare meals in advance and learn to incorporate（融合）the different food groups into their diets.
A．Remember those instant noodle cups from the supermarket?
B．Does healthy eating mean you must avoid fast food?
C．So what is the right thing to do?
D．He found that the most common reason people eat such food is because of their busy lifestyle.
E．Fast food hasn’t changed the way we think about the way we eat.
F．But many people think this trend is dangerous.
G．However, according to the new numbers, young people are eating more fast food than ever.
22、Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. 【1】. Now we will explore some no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning.
【2】. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studies.
A study published in the journal PLOS One examined how well older people who were in good health could remember certain words. In two different experiments, researchers found that older adults who rested for 10 minutes after learning new words had better memory of those words. “A period of wakeful rest immediately after new learning increases free recall of verbal material,” the researchers wrote. 【3】.”
In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. A report on the website of Harvard Medical School explains that a person lacking sleep cannot focus attention and therefore cannot learn efficiently. 【4】. That is essential for learning new information.
Robert Stickgold is a doctor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. “【5】,” he said. “When we first form memories, they’re in a very raw and fragile form. Sleep is important for forming memories.”Stickgold suggested that adults between the ages of 18 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need slightly more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
A．New memories can be hard to keep
B．The results were strong even after seven days
C．But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn
D．Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information
E．Many students often go straight to another activity after finishing study
F．By reducing your activity after study, your brain gets a chance to rest
G．It also says sleep itself has a role in strengthening memory
23、People love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He used more than 15,000 words in this writing! But Bible’s Old Testament (旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrase.
If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted. Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was silly and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality, Shakespeare called them critics (评论家). Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.
The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.
Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time.

24、 Simply being quiet is a growing appeal. Lots of business have appeared to meet a rising demand for quiet time, from silent weekend getaways to silent dining, silent reading parties and even silent dating. Silence can mean different things to different people. We are usually silent only with those closest to us. So there is something almost radical(不同凡响的)about the recent trend towards enjoying silence with strangers.
Mariel started a regular silent reading party in Dundee just under a year ago. Readers bring their books and meet in a bar, where they read together in silence for an hour or sometimes two and then put their books away to chat and have a drink. “When the reading party starts, everything goes quiet,” says Mariel, “ It’s a little bit surreal (超现实的), especially in what is usually a noisy bar. However, there is something special about sharing the silence with others. It offers a chance to escape from reality; everyone is so busy with work and with technology being ever present. An event like this gives people the opportunity to escape these things for a while.”
Honi Ryan is an artist based in Berlin who began hosting silent dinner back in 2006. The rules of the dinner are: no talking, no using your voice, no reading or writing, trying to make as little noise as possible, not connecting with technology, and staying for at least two hours. So far she has taken her silent dinner project to Mexico, the US, Australia and China. “It’s evident that the age-old connections we make over food do not depend on the words around it. Silence creates the space for the people and places involved to fill with whatever is needed; it is quite different from our usual social behaviors.”
【1】Why have lots of silent businesses appeared?
A.To satisfy people’s demand for silence.
B.To make people get close to each other.

B.Readers can be busy with their work.
C.Readers can connect with technology.
D.Readers can chat and drink after reading.

A.noise B.space C.silence D.food
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Escape from Reality. B.Enjoying Being Quiet.
C.Silent Reading Parties. D.Silent Dining Projects.
