21、 Plastic is used for food packaging(包装) and water bottles as well as many other things you use every day. Look around, plastic is all over! Sadly, much of plastic waste is thrown into waste lands or washed into the sea, breaking down into particles. Particles are often taken in by animals or fish. Unless you are the one who only eats vegetables, it is highly likely that you are also eating this plastic. Besides, when you drink soft drinks from a plastic bottle, you also have the danger of drinking a dangerous chemical. It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.
A plastic bottle can break down into enough small pieces on each seaside in the whole world. They have also been discovered to collect in large amount in sea locations where winds and currents(洋流) are weak.
How do you help to solve the problem? Use a stainless steel(不锈钢) bottle. It is an obvious way to deal with the problem that has been ignored for many years. Many countries become increasingly more familiar with the pollution that is damaging the environment. It’s easy to understand why steps are being taken to discover things to replace the plastic.
If you use a stainless steel water bottle, you can help cut the number of using plastic bottles, which are thrown away and break down gradually. It may even take 1000 years to fade away. In a word, even by doing something as small as changing your water bottle to a stainless steel one, you could make the world a better place to live for future generations.
【1】What does the underlined word “particles” mean in paragraph 1?
A.Tiny pieces of plastic. B.Healthy drinks to humans.

22、Finding the Real You
Psychometric testing — personality testing — has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.
The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.
Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”
So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,” says Gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting — too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren’t really suited for.”
Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.
【1】The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that __________.
A. personality is largely decided from birth
B. certain personality traits are common
C. some personality types are better than others
D. personality traits are various from time to time
【2】According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?
A. The results could be opposite to what employers want.
B. People can easily lie about their true abilities.
C. Employers often find the results unclear.
D. They may have a negative effect on takers.
【3】In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it to change your personality?
A. It’s possible in your adult life.
B. It’s easy if you have great motivation.
C. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy.
D. It’s difficult before the age of 21.
【4】What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?
A. They are of doubtful value to employers.
B. They are not really worth doing.
C. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.
D. They may encourage greater realism.
23、My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.
【1】Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A. It was very warm and fine.

A. Charlie was a young man with skills
B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C. Charlie didn’t support his family with enough money
D. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses

24、American actor James Dean has been dead for 65 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 24 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology, which generates images of James Dean by the computer.
The idea that one of the movies' most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism. Captain America's actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's images in the film disrespectful.
However, Mark Roesler, chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and he is still important today. He is known as Hollywood's ‘rebel(叛逆者)’who famously said that if a man could bridge the gap(间隔) between life and death, if he could live after he was dead, then maybe he was a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 1950s is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern-day act of rebellion.”
Anton Ernst, the film's director, said, “I respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is tell a great story.” Ernst added, “The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not want to let his fans down.”
【1】Which film did Chris Evans star in?
