21、Connection is a basic human need, but being constantly connected to our technology can make us feel more imprisoned than nourished. If you’re feeling frazzled, a digital detox (脱瘾治疗) may help calm your mind and soothe your spirit. It is believed that consciously choosing to unplug can improve relationships and enhance a person’s overall well-being.
Plan in advance. While a 72-hour detox is best, a simple 24 hours of unplugging can still be helpful. People are more understanding about delayed responses to emails around the holidays. 【1】 Pick a couple days when you’ll be occupied with friends, family or other activities.
Spread the word. Get yourself psyched up and tell everyone. 【2】 Letting all of your colleagues, friends and loved ones know that you won’t be responding to texts or email for a couple of days makes room for you to focus on the people you’re seeing in person.
Add something fun into your life. When you remove your dependence upon digital devices, you may find you have a bit more free time on your hands. If you want to take this to another level, add in something you’re excited about like exercising, going for a walk, or starting a meditation practice. 【3】
Remove temptations. Compulsively (禁不住地) checking emails and iPhones has become second nature for most of us. Clean your bedroom and remove any technology from this part of your home. Make sure your computer or anything else that’s glowing is out of your bedroom and your remote controls are far away. If you’re going on a diet you don’t want a chocolate cake sitting in your kitchen. 【4】
【5】 Returning from your detox may be overwhelming. Use the perspective that you gained in your off time to prioritize thoughtfully all of the things that have backed up. “Before you jump back in, prioritize. You are no longer a slave to your devices - you have the power.”
A．It’s the same thing with this.
B．Get more energy in your off time.
C．Do it on or around Christmas Day.
D．This makes it the perfect time to get offline.
E．You can also use this time to stop a harmful habit.
F．Strategically re-enter the world of digital connection.
G．Post it on social media, make an email alert, change your voicemail.
22、One night, a seriously injured patient was transferred to hospital in Nanjing, Jiangsu, from Anhui province. The patient was hearing-impaired, so it was difficult for medical workers to communicate with him.
At the same time, Chen Xin was studying at the library. He is a senior student of architectural engineering technology in Nanjing Polytechnic Institute. The 20-year-old is also a sign language interpreter. He immediately rushed to the hospital, which is next to his college, after receiving an urgent call. Chen helped the patient communicate with medical staff until the patient was released from the hospital.
“In many cases, some hearing-impaired people have to delay seeking medical treatment for various reasons, which brings health risks and property losses to the group,” said Chen.
Chen knew some deaf friends, but they can only communicate with each other by typing on the mobile phone. This encouraged Chen to learn sign language. In 2018, Chen, then a senior high school student, attended a program by Nanjing Normal University of Special Education to learn from professionals and was certified (认证) as a sign language interpreter.
“Finger flexibility is a key,” Chen said,“I couldn’t make precisely harmonious movements of my fingers at first.” So Chen took part in activities for deaf people to practice more.
Every kind of language has its own grammar system. So does sign language, “Its word order is different from Chinese or English,” Chen said. For example, if you want to say “I love you”, you need to sign “I you love”. “I spent a lot of time getting used to such differences,” Chen said.
After mastering sign language, Chen built close relationships with hearing impaired people and offered to help them.“Many of them turn to me when they go to see a doctor," Chen said.
Recalling another volunteer experience, Chen said he was very nervous at that time. “We knew little about COVID-19 in February 2020. I was wondering how to explain the virus,” Chen said,“I was afraid of mistakenly translating the term.”
After his graduation, Chen plans to be a professional sign language interpreter and offer services for more hearing impaired people.
【1】What inspired Chen to learn sign language?
A．A medical emergency he suffered.
B．A program related to sign language.
C．The support from some professionals.
D．The way his deaf friends communicate.
【2】What was a problem facing Chen after mastering sign language?
A．He often confused the gestures of words.
B．He had trouble explaining some concepts.
C．He found it difficult to memorize the gestures.
D．He had to improve his finger flexibility.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Chen?
A．Creative and patient.
B．Humorous and tough.
C．Warm-hearted and thoughtful.
D．Talented and modest.
【4】Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A．Lending helping hands
B．Becoming an interpreter
C．Learning sign language
D．Offering services to people
23、Social media allow teenagers to create online identities, communicate with others and build social networks. These networks can provide teenagers with valuable support. Teenagers also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms can expose teenagers to current events, allow them to communicate across geographic barriers and teach them about different kinds of subjects, including healthy behaviors. However, social media use can also negatively affect teenagers, distracting them, influencing their sleep, and exposing them to bullying (恐吓), rumor (谣言) spreading, untrue views of other people’s lives and peer pressure.
There are steps you can take to encourage responsible use of social media and limit some of its negative effects.
Set reasonable limits. Talk to your teenager about how to avoid letting social media affect his or her activities, sleep, meals or homework. Encourage a bedtime routine that avoids electronic media use, and keep cellphones and iPads out of teenagers’ bedrooms. Set an example by following these rules yourself.
Monitor your teenager’s accounts. Let your teenager know that you’ll be regularly checking his or her social media accounts. You might aim to do so once a week or more. And make sure you follow through.
Explain what’s not OK. Discourage your teenager from gossiping, spreading rumors, bullying or damaging someone’s reputation—online or otherwise. Talk to your teenager about what is appropriate and safe to share on social media.
Encourage face-to-face contact with friends. This is particularly important for teenagers who are vulnerable to social anxiety disorder.
Talk about social media. Talk about your own social media habits. Ask your teenager how he or she is using social media and how it makes him or her feel. Remind your teenager that social media is full of unrealistic images.
If you think your teenager is experiencing signs or symptoms of anxiety or depression related to social media use, talk to your child’s health care provider immediately.

24、India and China are leading the global greening effort, a latest NASA study said on Monday, observing that the world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago.
Data from NASA Earth satellites show that human activities in China and India play an important part in this greening of the planet, thanks to tree planting and agriculture. The effect comes mostly from tree-planting programs in China and agriculture in both countries. “China and India account for one-third of the greening,’’ said lead author Chi Chen of Boston University.
China alone accounts for 25 percent of the global increase in leaf area with only 6.6 percent of global green area. The greening in China is from forests and croplands (农田), but in India, it is mostly from croplands with minor contribution from forests. China’s huge contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part from its programs to protect and expand forests.
“When the greening of the earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate from the added carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Now with the data, we see that humans are also contributing,” said Rama Nemani, research scientist at NASA. “Once people realize there is a problem, they tend to fix it. In the 1970s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation (植被) loss was not good. In the 1990s, people realized it, and today things have improved. That’s what we see in the satellite data,” added Nemani.
Land area used to grow crops is comparable in China and India, and has not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet these places have greatly increased both their green leaf area and their food production by enhancing the way of cropping. This was achieved through multiple cropping practices, where a field is replanted to produce another harvest several times a year. Production of grains, vegetables, fruits and more has increased by about 35%〜40% since 2000 to feed their large populations.
【1】In India, the greening mainly comes from .
A．agriculture.
B．tree planting.
C．forests and croplands.
D．a warmer and wetter climate.
【2】What do Nemani’s words mainly suggest?
A．Carbon dioxide causes global warming.
B．Man can actively change the environment.
C．In India and China, vegetation loss has been solved.
D．Climate has little to do with the greening of the earth.
【3】What does the underlined word “enhancing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Praising.
B．Ignoring.
C．Improving.
D．Limiting.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．India and China lead the global greening.
B．Human activities change the global climate.
C．Warmer climate contributes to the global greening.
D．Land area for crops in China and India has changed much.
25、Why do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an inherited need to ___________ uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will ___________ to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt.
In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students’ willingness to ___________themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one experiment, each ___________was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would deliver an electric shock when ___________. Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified; Another 27 were told only that some were electrified. ___________ left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would ___________. Consequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of horrible insects.
The drive to ___________ is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for food or shelter, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct — it can ___________ new scientific advances, for instance — but sometimes such ____________ can backfire. The instinct that curiosity can drive you to do self-destructive things is a tragic one. Unhealthy curiosity is possible to ____________, however. In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to ____________ how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to ____________ to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the ____________ of following through on one’s curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the efforts. “Thinking about long-term ____________ is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity.” Hsee says. In other words, don’t read online comments.
