21、Educator and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune will soon make history as the first black person to have a statue in the U. S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall, when her statue replaces that of a general.
Bethune, the daughter of formerly enslaved people, was an influential educator and activist who founded the National Council of Negro Women, advised multiple U. S. presidents and created a boarding school for black children that would later become Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach.
The 11-foot statue weighs more than 6,000 1bs…It was created by artist Nilda Comas, who was chosen from a field of 1,600 applicants and is the first Hispanic master sculptor to create a statue for the National Statuary Hall State Collection. Before she started sculpting, Comas conducted a four-year thorough research, which she called “a beautiful journey.”
The statue features Bethune wearing a cap and long dress and a pearl necklace, holding a black rose in one hand and a walking stick in the other. She’s standing in front of a pile of books, with a warm smile and what one local reporter described as eyes that “register wisdom kindness.”
The base of the statue is inscribed(铭刻)with her name, her home state, birth and death dates, as well as one of her most famous quotes, “Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it may be a diamond in the rough.”
The black rose represents Bethune’s work in education, as well as her belief that “loving thy neighbor” required interracial, inter-religious and international brotherhood, according to a nonprofit organization.
“Although there is no species of flower called a ‘black rose’, Dr. Bethune was attracted by beauty of a rose with a particular dark colour,” it explained. “These dark roses instantly became her favorite. She thereafter referred to her pupils as her ‘black roses’”
【1】Why has Bethune’s statue been set up?
A．Because she offered much advice to US presidents.

C．The creation of the statue.
D．The choosing of the sculptor.
【3】What does “black rose” in Para. 6 stand for?
A．Bethune’s famous·quotes.
B．Bethune’s devotion and faith.
C．Bethune’s wisdom and kindness.
D．Bethune’s investment and religion.
【4】What do we know about Bethune?

22、 Sports fandom is about more than just entertainment. It can boost your self-esteem (自尊) and make you happier — and you don’t have to root for the winning team to gain the benefits.
Being a sports fan is a “very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Wann, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom. Fandom connects us to other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.
These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.
Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they have nothing to do with the players or games, says Stephen Reysen, associate professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce who studies identity and fandom.
“Individuals feel that the fan interest (in this case a sport team) is a part of them,” Reysen says. “So when the team is winning, you feel like you are winning even though you are not a player.”
Of course, teams sometimes lose.
So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose? People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season, Reysen says.
“Sports fandom has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Wann says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable one. But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.
Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to ease the negative psychological effects of losing.
“For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem,” Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, co-author of the study and professor of communication at The Ohio State University said in a release.
【1】According to the passage, why do sports fans feel happier?
A．Because they could gain the benefits from the winning team.
B．Because they can share pains and happiness with people who have the common interests.
C．Because they could have a low level of self-esteem.
D．Because most of them are optimistic.
【2】What is the significance of the relationships between sports fans?
A．Sports fans have support from their favorite teams.
B．Sports fans have higher levels of loneliness.
C．Sports fans are likely more content with their lives.
D．Sports fans tend to compare themselves to those who aren’t interested in sports.
【3】According to the passage, if the team has a losing season, the sports fans may .
A．display their identities
B．have a boost of self-esteem
C．not support the team any more
D．have a negative psychology period
【4】According to the passage, what can help sports fans deal with losses of their team?
A．Being part of the team.
B．Ordering a pizza in a different restaurant.
C．Sharing the pain with family members.
D．The loyalty to the team.

24、The livestreaming and fast delivery industry have attracted so many young people that the industrial sector is short of manpower. “My advice is to encourage more young people to work in the factories and less in the express delivery sector,” Zhang Xinghai, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, said during the ongoing NPC annual session.
Zhang wants more young people to work in the factories so that China’s manufacturing (制造业) sector continues to flourish.
Whatever job young people do is a matter of choice, but the manufacturing sector is facing a labor crunch (短缺) for too many people prefer jobs in other sectors.
A survey conducted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of 2021 found that of 100 jobs that were facing a manpower crunch, 58 were in the manufacturing sector. By 2025, the shortage in 10 key manufacturing industries could be as high as 30 million.
It is time some strong measures were taken to attract people back to the factories. This can be done by raising the salaries of factory workers.
According to a survey in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, the annual income of express delivery workers in the city is more than 100,000 yuan ($15,831). In contrast, the average monthly salary of those doing blue-collar jobs in Guangdong in 2020 was just 7,108 yuan, or about 84,000 yuan a year. That gap surely needs to be reduced.
Besides, the legal rights and interests of those doing blue-collar jobs need to be better protected. Express delivery workers can decide when they want to work, but factory workers have to work whenever the factory demands.
Therefore, the authorities should protect factory workers’ rights to weekends, 8-hour working schedules and paid leave.
Also, the promotion and salary growth structure of factory workers must be clearly defined. In a nutshell, to lure young people back to the factories, it is necessary to make blue-collar jobs more attractive.
【1】What can we infer from Zhang Xinghai’s words?
A．The future of the express delivery sector is hopeless.
B．Working in factories in China are attractive to young people.
C．Most young people are unwilling to work in the manufacturing sector.
D．Working as a delivery man is quite easy for young people.
【2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．A lot of jobs in China are facing a labor crunch.
B．Employment rate in China will be dramatically increased by 2025.
C．There are 10 manufacturing industries facing manpower shortage in total.
D．The industrial sector is facing a severe labor shortage.
【3】Which is NOT the reason for manpower shortage in factories?
A．Flexible working hours.
B．Lower incomes.
C．Undefined promotion structure.
D．Unprotected legal rights.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the current situation of manufacturing industry?
A．Indifferent.
B．Concerned.
C．Unclear.
D．Neutral.
