21、 Twenty-year old Brian, our eldest son, was riding his motorcycle home from work when a drunken driver ran him down. The driver, Ruben Gonzalez, was accused of man-slaughter (过失杀人). For three years we had waited. Now we were to be in court (法庭) in three weeks' time, when the judge would sentence (判决) Gonzalez at last.
"Jeri," our lawyer said,"there is a chance that the judge might delay (延期) Gonzalez's sentence because his boy has a bad heart and may only live six months. Please be prepared." "Prepared for what?" I shouted. "The possibility of Brian's killer going unpunished?"
In the car, I sat in silent agony as my husband Charles drove us home. I believed that the man who had killed my beautiful son should be punished. It might teach others a lesson about drinking and driving. All I wanted was a twenty-month prison term.
On the day of the sentencing, the courtroom was filled with our relatives and friends. When it was time for me to read my statement, I glanced at Mr. Gonzalez and said, "I pray that God will let your boy live. But if you lose him, you will know the feeling we have known losing our son." Then judge Gilroy called Gonzalez forward and pronounced the sentence. Twenty months in prison, to be served immediately.
I just sat there, feeling no relief. The lawyer said we could go if we wished, but I couldn't move. My mind spun all the next day. I said to Charles, "I know this sounds strange after all we've been through, but I feel very strongly that we should ask the court to let Mr. Conzalez be with his son." Relief flooded my husband's face and I knew he felt the same. He picked up the phone and dialed the judge's office. "I hope it's not too late, " Charles said.
The next day we were back in the courtroom. Ruben Gonzalez was called forward by judge Gilroy and told that he would be allowed to spend his son's final days with him, after which he would complete a six-month prison term.

22、Don’t you think walking in the city is very different from walking in the park? A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load.【1】. It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially reduce cognitive tiredness and improve reaction times straight away.【2】
The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene.【3】 On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load.
【4】Participants were asked to distinguish between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment).
Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes.【5】 Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea.
A．A walk through nature does the opposite, though.
B．Nature influences us in many ways.
C．Different approaches are employed in the separate experiment.
D．They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking.
E．After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort.
F．The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes.
G．The reason is that urban environments are more distracting.
23、Do books unite us? Award — winning author and poet Kwame Alexander thinks so. 【1】. Millions of young people around the world have read and loved his novels and poems.

Did any experiences inspire you to write The Door of No Return?
【3】 Going there so much, tasting the food, meeting the people, and putting my feet in the ocean, I felt some type of warmness. I felt like I was connected to Ghana. I wanted to write a story that was based there. Those trips inspired me.
In the book, the character of Kofi is faced with an unexpected challenge. How do you think challenges can bring us together?
We can’t figure everything out on our own. 【4】. We realize that we have others around us who can support us. give us ideas and help us. That makes us a stronger family and community, and stronger, better people.

24、How many men do housework? Recently a European Commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!
The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework, many of them said they never helped at all!
But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.
