21、 A little battery puts out a little bit of electricity, so you can use it safely for your experiments. But the electricity that comes through the wires in your house or school is much more powerful. 【1】 .
Inside the walls where you live or study, there are big wires that carry electricity. When you plug in a light or radio or other electrical appliance, you are putting the light or radio in the path way of the electricity. You have heard adults warn, “ 【2】，‘ Now do you know why? If you did, you would become part of the electrical path way.
【3】 The electrical current coming through the wires to the wall plug is so strong that it would hurt a lot if you stuck your finger in the plug. Put your finger in there and it could be you, rather than the light bulb, that becomes part of the electrical path way. And that would hurt!
What if you held a piece of metal, like a fork or knife, and stuck it into the wall plug? Don't do it. Why? It's because metals also conduct electricity. 【4】
Don't touch any electrical appliance when you are wet. Can you think why? It's because water is a good conductor of electricity. When your hands are wet or when your body is in a bathtub full of water, the electricity could flow right through you and give you an awful shock, or even kill you.
Electricity is very useful, but it can be dangerous. 【5】If so, electricity can better serve you, instead of hurting you.
A.Life is precious!
B.So stay away from wires.
C.Be careful, be safe and be smart.
D.And you would get a terrible shock!
E.Don't stick your finger into the wall plug.
F.Therefore, keep in mind some safety rules.
G.Your body is a pretty good conductor of electricity.
22、Binge-watching can be described as the act of watching many videos, TV shows, ect., in a very short period of time.【1】 However, recent research into this phenomenon (现象) has shown that it has some very bad effects on the human body.
Watching television is a leisure activity, which is usually accompanied by unhealthy snacking.【2】 Some research also suggests that people who binge-watch on a daily basis are doubling their chances of early death.
Apart from this, in extreme cases, people start living in a fantasy (虚幻的) world longer than they do in their real lives.【3】 Worse still, new studies have shown that people who watch more than three TV shows at a time are more likely to suffer from loneliness and depression.
【4】 Well, the most common signs of addiction (上瘾) to TV arc sleep loss, weight gain, and keeping a large part of your daily conversations limited to your favorite shows.
Thus, it’s best to stop binge-watching, and only allow yourself to watch TV just for less than three hours a day. However, if you must binge-watch, remember to lake regular breaks after a period of time, and more importantly, never watch more than one show at the same time.【5】 In addition, taking part in human interaction (互动) regularly is one of the best ways to keep your binging in the safe zone. But keep your conversations away from the TV show!
A. This will finally result in the loss of self-respect.
B. Make sure to avoid watching those negative TV programs.
C. Anyway, binge-watching is bad if it turns into an addiction.
D. Nowadays, binge-watching has become increasingly popular.
E. Then, how does one know whether they’re binge-watching fans or not?
F. Balancing (平衡) watching TV with a good amount of physical exercise is most important.
G. So binge-watching for a long time can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease, etc.
23、Every morning, my alarm goes off. I wake from my sleep and hit the snooze button. Then I crawl back under the duvet to grab a few more minutes of shut-eye. “Tonight I’ll go to bed early,” I tell myself. But, evening comes and I get a second wind, completely forgetting about my early night.
Why am I finding it so difficult to get a good night’s sleep? And is it a problem?
The amount we sleep has declined over the years and insomnia(失眠）is on the rise. Modern technology is often blamed. The light from our smartphone affects levels of melatonin（褪黑素）—the sleep-inducing hormones—keeping us wide awake into the early hours.
Lack of sleep can badly affect our health and memory. We need deep sleep to move our memories from short-term storage into long-term storage. If we don’t get enough sleep, we could lose these memories. This is especially disastrous for people studying for exams.
So, how can we learn to sleep better? For Professor Till Roenneberg, it’s important that people recognize they have an internal body clock. This determines whether you are a night owl, an early bird or somewhere in the middle. We don’t have any choice. “It’s like feet,” he said. “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.” Our work schedules are out of sync（同步）with our natural sleep patterns. He says this leads to “social jetlag” where people feel like they are constantly in the wrong time zone.
Paul Kelley—a sleep expert from the University of Oxford—says that most people are getting up too early. He believes work and school should start a few hours later. Many companies are starting to realize more sleep can mean a more productive workforce and are changing work schedules. While in South Korea, office workers are heading to relaxation parlors at lunchtime to take power naps in hammocks（吊床）or massage chairs. This is much healthier than catching forty winks while sitting on the toilet or dropping off at their desks.
So, if like me you find yourself hitting your snooze button every morning—don’t feel bad. It’s just our body clocks!

24、In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
【1】What’s the feature of the attention economy?
A．It offers little information.
B．It focuses on depressing stories.
C．It saves time for Internet users.

【2】Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3?
A．To discuss the quality of information.
B．To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C．To show the importance of environments.
D．To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
【3】What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text?
A．Reveal their intention.
B．Turn a deaf ear to them.
C．Correct their behaviour.
D．Send hard facts to them.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Reasons for developing critical thinking in modern times.
B．Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C．Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D．Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
