21、We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “selftalk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us!Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves:Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build selfesteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
【1】Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
A.Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
B.It does harm to have “selftalk” when we are alone.
C.Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” mean?
A.Blame ourselves.
B.Punish ourselves.
C.Talk to ourselves.
D.Praise ourselves.
【3】Which of the following statements would the author agree with?
A.Words always possess long positive effects.
B.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.
C.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
D.It is better to think twice before talking to others.
【4】How does the author explain the effect of words in paragraph 3?
A.By giving a definition.
B.By classifying different types.
C.By giving examples.
D.By giving data.
22、Across all four walls of a vast hall, Oscar Claude Monet’s Three Pots of Tulips begin to swing. They bloom gently at firsts then more violently, as the music gradually increases. Visitors to “Immersive (沉浸式的)Monet”, now sit or stand in socially distant circles on the floor of a former music hall in San Francisco, their bodies bathed in the glow of these animated laser projections (投影).
On America’s other coast, visitors will be amazed more when a new exhibition space covering 50,000 square feet opens on April 22nd. At Superblue Miami they will be able to touch the blossoms winding across a huge wall, and doing so makes the artwork move and change. “A Whole Year per Year,”--a digitally projected work by teamLab, a Japanese art group, is a lightening cycle of the seasons in which visitors’ hands cause plants to bloom and fade, petals (花瓣) scattering in a balletic display. No two visits are ever the same.
“Immersive art” experiences are on the rise, not just in America but across the world. Tens of thousands of people have walked completely dry through a “Rain Room” of streaming water in Shanghai, Melbourne and Shaijah. Others have visited a mirrored “Infinity room” in New York. More and more, the experience of contemporary art is just that: a novel experience.
These displays share a common trait:an urge by artists to create--and audiences to enjoy--a space in which visitors participate and play. “It’s a bit like going into the museum and being in the picture,” says Florian Ortkrass, co-founder of Random International, an art organization which has followed its amazing work ”Rain Room” with other exhibits that explore the relationship between human bodies’ and technology. “If this kind of world is done well, it engages people emotionally, it lifts them out of their everyday routines, adds Hannes Koch, Random International’s other co-founder.
【1】What can we learn about “immersive art” described in the passage?
A.It can urge artists to create and audiences to enjoy.
B.There is nothing to do with technology in Immersive Art.
C.This form of art need no interaction between the exhibit and the audience.
D.Every visitor can enjoy the same wonderful experience in “A Whole Year per Year”.
【2】Which of following word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?
A.trade
B.characteristic
C.interest
D.benefit
【3】What does Hannes Koch’s words mean?
A.The development of immersive art makes people work harder for life.
B.The development of immersive art can strengthen our physical power.
C.The development of immersive art can free us from the dull life.
D.The development of immersive art can promote the relationship between body and technology
23、To travel abroad, we often meet the problem of what to take and how to take it. Take as little as possible. Choose clothes for your use in different kinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take half of it! It’s always a big problem to take too many things, and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you hunt around you can usually find something on sale.
Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take. Getting on and off buses and trains, even just changing planes, can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many. The best way is to take one holdall, like a suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your holdall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and documents by your side. It is also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airline or a bus company.
The means you choose to travel around the US will depend on your money, you time and something else. Since there are certain discounts available to travelers who buy their tickets outside the US, it is a good idea to make travel plans before you go. Also, when you buy your tickets outside the US, you save the eight percent sales tax. Travel is like everything else in America---you have to shop around for the best busy. Never be afraid to ask for the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.
【1】What is the writer’s idea about what to take while travelling abroad?
A.Take as many clothes as possible
B.Take as few things as you can
C.Take only your tickets and money
D.Take whatever you can use in different situations.
