21、I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened.
Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning. I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks wilting (蔫) indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived.
Thankfully. I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions (防范). Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger.

23、If there were an app on your phone that could improve your memory, would you try it? Who wouldn’t want a better memory? After all, our memory can be easily damaged by diseases, injuries, bad mental health conditions and, most particularly for all of us, aging.
Nowadays, there are a large number of apps that provide memory training. Can they help you remember to take medicine, do better on a school exam, remember the name of the person whom you met yesterday? Some scientists question whether this is possible. Undoubtedly, many of the brain training companies today exaggerate(夸大) the benefits of using their apps.
Scientists have provided proof that brain training does not benefit everyone in the same way. It is suggested that little consideration has been given to who would benefit most from those brain training apps. Will they only be those who have some forms of memory impairment(缺陷),or those eager for self-improvement even though they are already functioning very well?
To overcome these limitations, our team has started a new study aiming to find 30,000 volunteers to help us decide which form of training may be the best for individuals. Our goal is to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead of focusing on the simple question of whether brain training works, we are considering covering the whole population in a new challenge to test for whom brain training works, and under which conditions.
【1】What can affect our memory in particular?
A．Getting ill.
B．Being injured.
C．Being upset.
D．Getting old.
【2】What is the scientists’ attitude to memory training apps?
A．Supportive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Objective.
D．Optimistic.
【3】Why did the author’s team conduct the study?
A．To test whether brain training works.
B．To develop a training that suits all the people.
C．To compete with other memory training organizations.
D．To find the best form of training for different people.
【4】Where is the article probably from?
A．A fashion magazine.
B．A tour guide.
C．A science website.
D．A personal blog.
24、 A team of researchers spent weeks playing human-vs-rat hide-and-seek which was so much fun that the little rats laughed and jumped for joy.
The small players consisted of six adolescent male rats that were trained to play hide-and-seek against neuroscientist Annika Stefanie Reinhold. The researchers filled a room with hiding places made from different boxes. The little creatures learned that if they began the game inside a closed box, they wee the seekers while being in an open box meant they needed to hide. Soon, the rats became wise, figuring out that transparent boxes make the worst hiding places, and checking spots where their two-legged competitor had hidden before when seeking. The findings are reported in Science.
When they won, the rats were rewarded with tickling (挠痒) instead of food. " They chase our hand, we tickle them from the side, it's like how you play with small kittens or puppies," said co-author Konstantin Hartmann from the Humboldt University of Berlin.
Apart from playing for these interactions, the rats were motivated by the fun of the game. They would let out high-pitched laughter, suggesting they we in high spirits. If you’re wondering why you've never heard a rat laugh, their naughty giggles have to be picked up by scientific equipment as they are too high-pitched to be detected by the human ear. Even more adorably, the test subjects leapt in the air whenever they sniffed out a scientist. Yes,they jumped for joy. And even when the researchers offered food as an end-game reward, the rats postpone accepting them. They seem to want to keep playing the game.
Another sign that the rats were enjoying themselves was that they would often leap away to hide in a new location once they'd been found. Like children they wanted to keep playing again and again.
The team recorded nerve signals coming from the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质)of the rats' brains, an area involved in leaning. While research like this could tell us more about learn in the mammals, it could also help us better understand the importance of play. Future studies would look into the effects that not being allowed playtime might have on the brain, revealing how children and teenagers denied the opportunity to have fun and play with others might be affected.
【1】What can we know about the rats in Paragraph 2?
A.They didn’t know when to hide or seek.
B.They liked to hide in transparent boxes.
C.They got the hang of the game quickly.
D.They hid in the same spots as the human.
【2】How would the rats react when they found the hider?
A.Screaming for help.

D.Chasing the hider.
【3】What motivated the rats to keep playing again and again?
A.The end game food reward.
B.The human-and-rat friendship.

D.Interactions and fun of the game.
【4】What might further studies focus on?
A.The importance of play for the young.
B.The way of learning for the mammals.
