21、 There is a very long list of rules for the New York City subway. Don’t put your feet on a seat, don’t carry open cups of coffee or soda, don’t take more than one seat... Those are just a few of the rules. There are hundreds more.
With so many rules, why is it still unpleasant to ride the subway?
Some people think that the problem is that no one enforces the rules. Other passengers sometimes try to enforce rules. But you can’t rely on them because New Yorkers have unwritten rules against talking to strangers and making eye contact with strangers. How can you tell someone to take her shopping bags off the seat and throw away her Coke without talking to her or looking at her? It is difficult.
There are other New Yorkers who think that the subway is unpleasant because there are not enough rules. One rider wrote a letter to The New York Times a couple of weeks ago suggesting a few more subway rules. Here are some of the rules that she would like to see:
-Don’t lean on the poles. You prevent other people from holding on. They can fall down.
-Talk quietly. The trains are already too noisy.
-Give your seat to elderly passengers or to parents with small children.
If those unwritten rules of etiquette are written down, will the rude people be more likely to follow them? It doesn’t make sense to make more rules that no one will enforce.
The real problem is that we are forgetting how to be nice to each other. It is embarrassing that we need a rule to tell us to give our seat to elderly passengers. Nobody should need to be reminded to do that.
I say we stop talking about the rules and try to remember our manners. Let’s be nice to each other not because a police officer might tell us to get off the train, but because it is the right thing to do. Then New York City would be more civilized -both above ground and below.
【1】Don’t make eye contact and don’t talk to strangers are examples of________.
A.New York subway rules B.personal preferences on the subway
C.behavioral habits in New York City D.unpleasant experiences on the subway
【2】In the writer’s opinion, what measures should be taken?
A.The authority should set stricter rules.
B.The government should employ more police.
C.The citizens should ride the subway less.
D.Everyone should take better care of their behavior.
【3】The underlined word “etiquette” is closest in meaning to____.
A.manners B.phenomena C.festivals D.moods
【4】The author wrote this article in order to____.
A.introduce an unwritten rule for New Yorkers
B.describe an unpleasant ride on the subway.
C.present a real problem of disorder in the New York City.
D.give a civilized suggestion on improving the riding environment.
22、Dogs are often referred to as “man's best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua (奇瓦瓦狗), who was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog competition, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make great contributions to society.
This year's competition attracted over 400 competitors from across the country. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges' hearts. Born at a rescue shelter in Hilton, New York, in 2013, she had a cleft palate (腭裂) that required her to be tube fed for the first year of her life. A life-saving operation, performed in 2014, gave her the ability to eat and drink independently, enabling the tiny dog to focus on doing what she loved most: taking care of others.
The seven-year-old Chihuahua is now gainfully “employed” by the Mid Foundation, a Rochester, New York-based non-profit organization that shelters and cares for animals born with disabilities. MacKenzie's official job is “to provide love and care for baby rescue animals born with birth defects”. The Chihuahua is good at her job and has nurtured many different species-from puppies to kittens to turkeys, squirrels, birds and even a goat. She acts as their mother and teaches them how to socialize, play, and have good manners.
In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also has the important job of greeting the foundation's volunteers and friends. The incredible dog, who has lost her ability to bark, also visits area schools to help children understand physical disabilities in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie worthy of America's top dog honor!

A.Being man's best friend.

23、Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.
The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?
A.Helping teens learn to make good plans.
B.Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
C.Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
D.Making teens attach importance to exercise later.
【2】What does the underlined word “hindered” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Measured.
B.Shown.
C.Prevented.
D.Caused.
【3】According to the PCFSN, what does doing sports mean?
A.Helping students do better in their studies.
B.Helping students make good use of all their time.
C.Helping students adjust to their studies better.
D.Making students choose between sports and studies.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.How high school students can live a better life.
B.Why high school students should receive physical education.
C.Why some schools consider physical education important.
D.How schools can help students love doing sports.
24、 Ghina Ghaliya of Indonesia says a stranger’s visit to her house led to a campaign to help students affected by the COVID-19. Ghaliya remembers when a garbage collector come to her house in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. The man asked if she had an old mobile phone that his children could use to get on the Internet. Even ugly phones were okay.
“He said it does not matter if it is the ugly one, as long as his children can use it for learning from home,”she said. “I thought there must be many people who need second-hand mobile phones out there.”
Ghaliya works for a national newspaper. Shortly after the COVID-19 hit Jakarta, she and 11 other journalists organized a group to provide food and money for poor people. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to study online but lacked a way to use the Internet. Ghaliya thought of her meeting with the garbage collector when she and her group decided to donate mobile phones to poor students.
Many of these children were not able to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July. When the journalists announced their campaign through social media, the reaction was overwhelming. Many people donated second-hand phones, while others gave cash donations. As of November, the journalists had collected more than 200 mobile phones and the donations of more than $35,000. They used the money to buy more phones. They also paid for Internet use for those needing it.
Qayran Ruby had also been using his father’s mobile phone to attend three video calls a week with his teachers and get homework. But the 11-year-old boy sometimes sent his homework late because he had to wait for his father to return from work in order to get back online, which made him upset. But a big smile appeared on his face when he received the mobile phone sent by Ghaliya’s group. “I will use the phone to do online school every day.”Ruby said.
