21、At the end of a math lesson that Diane Moon taught virtually ( 虚拟地) earlier this month to her students, the middle school teacher in Illinois had star-shaped stickers covering her face.
It was all part of an effort by Moon and other teachers across the country to keep their students engaged ( 参 与) while virtual learning continues as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens in the United States.
“It's been really difficult,” Moon said of trying to teach her students through computer screens. “Sometimes I feel like I'm just talking to myself and it's just slower because I have to wait for students to respond.”
Moon said she had no hesitation to have a try when a colleague ( 同事) showed her a video in which a teacher put a sticker on her face each time a new student spoke out during class.
“I put some competition into it because I made it a battle between my three classes,” she said. “I told them that every time someone new takes part, I would put a new sticker on and we'll see which class has the most.”
Moon said she heard from students who had not spoken out all term, and saw her students come together and encourage each other to speak up, saying things like, “It's OK if the answer is wrong.”
Inspired by the success, Moon took a video of her face covered in stickers and shared it on the Internet, where it went viral (疯传).
In response to Moon's post, a fifth-grade teacher, Isa, later shared that she was using pipe cleaners in her hair to encourage students to turn on their cameras and speak up in class. She said, “The stickers started to irritate (刺激) our skin, so we moved on to pipe cleaners in our hair! Huge hit! We recommend it!”
“It shows that we're all doing all we can to engage students,” said Moon.
【1】What made Moon put stickers on her face?

D.A challenge from her colleagues.

B.She didn't have enough stickers.
C.It was cheaper to use pipe cleaners.

22、 As the novel coronavirus epidemic continues, one school after another has organized online classes. The most common form is live streaming, in which all participants, teacher and students alike, sit in front of a computer camera and see each other via the platform.
Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class, and jokes emerge about each other’s appearance. After all, most of the time it is the teacher appearing on screen, and the students, even if called on by the teacher, will only show their faces.
Yet Shijiazhuang No.1 Middle School in Hebei province recently triggered heated discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms while attending online classes.
By Saturday morning, the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, with 180 million views.
“The practice can improve students’ sense of formality in the online classes and make them more attentive, said Yao Haibo,” a head teacher of the school in a video clip. “It can also grant students a sense of honor and make them remember their identities as students.”
However, in the comment sections, some micro bloggers claiming to be students disagreed.
“Not useful. Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform,” was the most highly voted comment, with 31,000 “likes”.
“Maybe a good move, but unnecessary,” was another highly voted comment.
Whatever the argument is, the problem might be solved in the not — so — distant future. According to official data, the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397 on Saturday.
The students and teachers might, hopefully, see each other in classrooms soon.

23、Online shopping has changed retail (零售) forever. Most of us wouldn’t know what to do without it. But the e-commerce revolution seems to have missed an industry—groceries. Why aren’t we making our most important shopping trip easier?
The issue isn’t so much that grocers don’t want to be creative. Until recently, many grocers couldn’t afford the technology to support an e-commerce platform. But times are changing, and stores are adapting to meet increasing customer needs by adopting a unified commerce approach.
Grocery shopping is a tiring process and one that most people prefer to do as quickly as possible. However, the current state of online grocery shopping is not quite user-friendly. Maybe it’s because consumers like to touch and feel the fresh produce they’re purchasing. Maybe it’s because grocery e-commerce lacks features that clothing and other industries’ websites have—such as the ability to identify the closest store, an accurate inventory (库存), and the ability to manage large basket sizes.
E-commerce platforms can be expensive and hard to set up for grocers, but the industry is changing, and grocers need to get ready to stay competitive. The key to any successful shopping experience is a 360-view of the customer. Grocers need to invest in solutions that can gather customer information from multiple sales channels, online and off, and bring it together into one platform. Retailers should be trying their best to make shopping possible on different devices—simplifying the journey to help shoppers find what they need more easily.
Part of the reason that unified grocery commerce hasn’t taken off just yet is the fact that stores are not set up to serve different types of shoppers at once. Who is responsible for handling online orders? Should store associates put in-store shoppers or online ones first? It can get confusing for employees and customers alike. There is also the cost associated with adopting new technology in-store, such as creating apps to scan products, the ability to find the right shelf using the product locator and more.
According to Salesforce, the average retailer uses 39 different systems to manage the customer relationship. The key will be finding a way to combine these systems and analyze customer data to best serve customer needs.
【1】What does the author say about grocers?
A.They find it unrealistic to be creative.
B.They have no money to get essential technology.
C.They have no clear idea of customer needs.
D.They are unaware of technological changes.
【2】What’s a possible problem with online grocery shopping at the moment?
A.Customers can’t buy fresh produce.
B.Customers aren’t friendly in many cases.
C.Customers can’t have quality experiences.
D.Customers aren’t able to buy small-sized items.
【3】What do grocers need to do to ensure a successful shopping experience?
A.Have a competitive spirit at all times.
B.Gather information on customers’ daily journeys.
C.Turn multiple sales channels into one simple channel.
D.Make their services accessible to people using various devices.
【4】Which of the following accounts for the slow progress of unified grocery commerce?
A.Not enough space for more shelves.
B.Failure to handle orders online and off at the same time.
C.Employees’ limited knowledge of new technology.
D.Difficulty in putting online shoppers above in-store ones.
24、A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more) -- only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.
【1】Why does the lion tamer use a chair?
A. To trick the lion.
B. To show off his skills.
C. To get ready for a fight.
D. To entertain the audience.
【2】In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?
A. They feel puzzled over choices.
B. They hold on to the wrong things.
C. They find it hard to make changes.
D. They have to do something for show.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful.
C. Respectful. D. Supportive.
【4】When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _______.
A. wait for a better chance B. break your old habits
C. make a quick decision D. ask for clear guidance

When he stood up and began to go back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes just filled with__________. “I’m not wasting” was all he said. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the __________, they were suddenly joined by other drops , more drops...and more.
