21、 To understand a foreign country, we need to learn about its culture. Certainly, it's of help to study the language and history. But it's also a good idea to learn what not to do. Things which are strongly unacceptable are called taboos.
Eating taboos are found throughout the world. In many Asian cultures, chopsticks should never be left standing up in a rice bowl. In India, touching food with one's left hand is seen as unclean. And, in Muslim cultures, people do not eat pork.
Interestingly, a taboo in one country may not be a problem in another. For example, in Chinese culture, giving clocks as gifts is frowned on. But that would be fine in America. In fact, a beautiful clock would be a thoughtful gift.
The same goes for some conversation topics. In many Western cultures, it's rude to ask about a person's age, weight, or salary. However, these topics may not be as sensitive in East Asia.

22、When Lisette LeJeune, a single mom, living in Houston, Texas, received a positive COVID-19 test, she knew she would be in for a hard time.
She and both of her kids, who are 14 and 3 years old, tested positive and fell ill in December, 2020. Their family members did their best to bring them supplies and food, but since they live far away, it wasn’t easy. “I was really sick the first week, so it was really hard for me to take care of both of them, she said.
Right after she got her test results, Lisette made sure her family was quarantined (隔离). She even placed a box on her front door so their mail carrier could put their letters inside instead of touching the mailbox. But two weeks later, Lisette opened the front door to find a special care package (包).
Thinking the sweet gift was from a relative, Lisette opened the box to find several get-well essentials like chicken noodle soup, milk, and cookies. There was also a handwritten note only it wasn’t from a family member at all. It was from Mary, their mail carrier, a stranger Lisette had only briefly spoken to once.
“Get-well wishes… I hope you all are feeling better!” the note read.
Lisette was at once touched by the kindness. Lisette left a thank-you gift and a note for Mary in return and shared the touching moment online. After their story spread, Mary responded through United States Postal Service, calling the care package “a small act of kindness.”
Fortunately, Lisette and her kids are now recovering from the virus. While their mail carrier may not think much of what she did, we know it meant the world to this family.

23、 Over the years, we are witnessing the rise of drone（无人机）applications.【1】 Here are some wonderful applications of drones that can help us know more about their impressive capabilities.
Drones can be used for search and rescue operations. Drones these days are equipped with certain sensors so they are able to locate the position of lost persons and work in a challenging area. The search and rescue operations once suffered a lot due to the lack of technology.【2】They can be used for searching and are capable enough to drop supplies at unreachable locations.
【3】This may be one of the biggest achievements of drone technology as they are now able to serve farmers for many purposes. Drones can help study the health of the crops and farmers could act accordingly. They can also help farmers spray fertilizers, pesticides and water for crops.
As advanced drone units are capable enough to carry heavy loads, they can be used for shipping and delivery applications. They will help people get instant service for their requested products.【4】Thus, people can get their food orders within a short time.
Another important use of drones lies in weather forecasting. This has given new light to the concept of predicting the weather conditions. With exceptional cameras and effective sensors, these drones can collect important information that could aid in weather forecasts.【5】
As we can see, drones have found a vast number of applications in different areas. This is such a fun area to keep our eyes on, and the technology might just keep surprising us!
A.We can see them used in various fields.
B.Drones are applied to the field of agriculture.
C.Besides, they won't get stuck in the traffic jam.
D.Drones can be used to study the health of farmers.
E.This could significantly increase the delivery time.
F.But now drones can make everything possible within a few minutes.
G.For instance, sending drones into the hurricanes or tornadoes could bring back essential data.
24、Bluefin tuna are streamlined to perfection and equipped with cutting—edge biological gear. They are found in all the oceans except around the North and South Poles. The bluefin is a modern fish, yet its relationship with humanity is ancient. Japanese fishermen and the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest have caught Pacific bluefin for more than 5,000 years.
But this relationship with humans has lately been damaging to the bluefin. They are today among the most overfished species on Earth.
Captain Dennis Cameron and his crew left port in his fishing boat. They were on a different kind of fishing trip. They had come to tag and measure bluefin. While Cameron went toward deep water, Steve Wilson, a Stanford University researcher who works with the Tuna Research and Conservation Center (TRCC), checked the satellite tags he hoped to attach to bluefin that day.
After another 20 minutes, they successfully tagged a big bluefin. On his laptop the night before, Wilson had programmed the satellite tag to release in a little over nine months. The tag will rise to the ocean’s surface and send information about the tuna’s movements to TRCC’s home base in California.
The locations of bluefin, as reported by the many satellite tags over the years, are represented on the map by small circles in different colors. The western bluefin —represented as reddish—orange circles —pack the Gulf of Mexico, their spawning grounds. From there they spread eastward into the western Atlantic and cross over to the eastern Atlantic, reaching all the way to Portugal and Spain. The eastern bluefin —represented as white circles —fill their Mediterranean spawning grounds, and from there spread westward, crossing over to the western Atlantic, covering the coastal waters of the United States and Canada.
But an alarming lesson lies hidden at Hopkins Marine Station. Established by Stanford University in 1892, it was the first marine lab on the west coast of the United States. It sold buildings, like the abandoned canneries immediately to the east, were built during the age of sardines, which ended 60 years ago due to overfishing. By the 1980s sardine populations had started to come back a little, but now they are falling again.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To give reasons for the bluefin’s decline.
B．To show that bluefin is an traditional food.
C．To explain why the bluefin is a modern fish.
D．To explain our long history with the bluefin.
【2】Why did Steve Wilson and his team want to tag the bluefin?
A．They could later identify illegal fishing.
B．They could track the bluefin’s movement.
C．They could know how deep the bluefin dive.
D．They could pay for those helping their research.
【3】Where are western bluefin NOT found?
A．In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
B．Off the coast of Spain and Portugal.
C．In the middle of Mediterranean Sea.
D．Off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
【4】Why does the author discuss sardines in the last paragraph?
A．To warn that bluefin could face a similar fate.
B．To give hope of bringing back fish populations.
C．To show the previous research is no longer relevant.
D．To explain the cause of their decline remains unknown.
