22、The insect-eaten money floated in pieces to the floor. For the global music star Angelique Kidjo, that scene of her grandmother having to use a closet as a bank is driving her desire to see African women overcome the many blocks to obtain credit and respect.
The Benin-born singer, one of Africans iconic (偶像的) artists and a collaborator (合作者) with Philip Glass and others, is the voice of a new project aimed in part at rewriting laws across the continent that prevent millions of women from becoming a more powerful economic force.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Kidjo described what she had seen over decades of travel in Africa during which women in lively marketplaces wished they had the means to do more.
“Why do banks give more loans to men versus women? That’s the question I have,” she said, “Millions of businesswomen in Africa lack loans versus men. And men pay less back than women.”
Every time credit is refused to African women, who consume some 90% of what they earn in educating their children, raising families and building communities as opposed to about 40% for men. “It’s a disaster,” Kidjo said, “We’re taking up reducing the poverty rate in Africa to the smallest number ever.”
She recalled women in Ghana who often dug a hole in the ground to save their earnings because they didn’t have bank accounts. And during a visit to Benin last month, one woman told her that to obtain a loan of 5,000 CFA ($8) she had to show a property deed and hand over 100,000 CFA as collateral (抵押). Such experiences have set her thinking.
Kidjo has won a major human rights award for she has shown unusual courage in standing up to unfairness.

A．They play a major role in supporting families and communities.
B．They have become a more powerful political force.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Kidjo?
A．Strict and determined.
B．Caring and courageous.
C．Demanding and ambitious.
D．Considerate and cautious.
【4】What is the best title for the text?

23、At times, talking to kids can feel like learning a foreign language. Unfortunately, there’s no handy phrasebook or translation app that can make you sound friendly, encouraging, and firm all at the same time. Don’t worry. 【1】 . Following these, you can have an open and honest chat with any kids in your life.
Sit or kneel at their level
Lowering yourself makes you a lot more approachable. Even if you’re keeping things light and friendly, a child might feel threatened if you’re towering over them. Instead, grab a seat or take a knee near the child, so they don’t have to look up at you. 【2】.
【3】
Kids love talking about their interests and preferences. As far as conversations go, asking about favorites is a pretty safe go-to topic. You might ask about their favorite singer, or what TV shows they like to watch. 【4】. You could ask if they have a dog or cat at home, and what its name is.
Ask for help or advice
【5】. Share a light-hearted, not-too-serious problem you’ve run into during your daily routine. Maybe you have trouble heading to bed at a good time, or you can never find your car keys before heading to work. The child will love a chance to figure out a solution to your problem, whether it’s big or small.

25、People may misunderstand what they used to be familiar with. I remembered a _________ professor was invited to our school, teaching stress management principles in a school hall _________ with students.
As she _________ a glass of water, every one of us expected we’d be asked the _________ “glass half—empty or glass half—full” question. _________, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How _________ is this glass of water I’m holding?”
All of us shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds.
She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter. It all _________ how I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weigh might make my arm _________ a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel _________ numb and paralyzed (无法动弹的), __________ me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the __________ of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”
As the whole class __________ our heads in agreement, she continued, “Your __________ and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and __________ happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel specially numb and paralyzed—__________ of doing anything else __________ you drop them.”
It’s important to remember to __________ your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t __________ them through the night and into the next day with you. If you still feel the weight of __________ stress, it’s a strong sign that it’s time to put the __________ down.
