21、While I will explain a bit about the science of stress and relaxation a little later simple way to think about it is that our body 's stress response works like a car alarm. Keep us safe by warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.
But instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound，our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学）.If you've ever experienced pain in your stomach，periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.
So if it's so uncomfortable，why not just get rid of stress altogether?
This is not only impractical，it would be dangerous. Let's go back to the metaphor (比喻说法）of the car alarm. If the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. It would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals — while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed，your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素) for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.
However，if the car alarm goes off at any time，someone just looks at the car with a bit of an attitude，and it becomes equally useless. Not only do we stop paying attention to it，but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. In the case of our bodies，walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences，which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.
【1】Our body's stress response is compared to a car alarm in that .
A. they work all the time B. they both give a signal
C. they work in the same way D. they both produce a sound
【2】When our body alarm system works， .
A. we feel calm
B. we feel excited
B. some changes happen in our brain
D. some changes happen in our heart
【3】What would happen if stress were got rid of completely?
A. We'11 be free of worries.
B. We'11 achieve a sense of safety.
C. We'11 reach a perfect state of mind.
D. We'11 fail to realize the possible danger.
【4】 What's the purpose of giving the example of walking through the Jungle in Paragraph 4?
A. To show the harm of stress.
B. To show the effect of stress.
C. To explain the function of stress response.
D. To explain the necessity of stress response.
22、It had been a “long” and hard walk from home to the subway station for teenager Mandy Chan when she first put on Hanfu in public. Chan is one of the founders of Hanfu in Hong Kong. “It was a set with a cream-colored shirt, a brown jacket in China’s Ming dynasty style and a red pleated (有褶的) skirt made by me,” she recalled recently, almost 10 years later.
It was not the looks from others but her limited knowledge on the traditional Chinese clothing that had terrified her. Chan added, “If anyone had asked what I was wearing, or the history behind it, I would have been afraid I couldn’t tell them the whole picture.”
However, her uneasiness had gradually drifted away with more deep research on traditional Chinese culture. Hanfu was the traditional clothing of China’s Han ethnic group that was formed in the main residential areas of the Han people in ancient China. The historical clothing has untold stories and ideas in every detail. The cutting and stitching (缝合) line in the middle part of Hanfu fits the spine (脊柱) of the human body and helps people to dress properly. This design, which has gone beyond itself as mere decoration, points to the qualities of the wearers as upright and easy-going individuals.
“Instead of imitating people like what I used to do, I have jumped out of my comfort zone and found the style that suits me best,” Chan said. “Through Hanfu, I have found myself and so many unexplored things in my life.” Chan added that she had found her lifelong passion through Hanfu, which is a goal and dream that has never been absent from her life. Chan found she was not alone after falling in love with Hanfu. She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has integrated Hanfu into her everyday life.
【1】Why did Chan feel uneasy when she first wore Hanfu in public?
A．It was not proper for a long walk.

A．It tells special stories of its wearers.
B．It shows personal qualities of its wearers.
C．It has complex cutting and stitching.
D．It appeals to Han ethnic group especially.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Hanfu has a strong influence on Chan.
B．Hanfu will be a big business in China.
C．Hanfu will take the lead in the fashion.
D．Hanfu allows her to know more people.

In fact, I wanted to be an actress.” Having appreciated this young lady’s performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.

24、Losing ourselves in the chaos of daily life has become a lot more common for so many people around the world. So people often ignore an important thing — healthy eating habits. This can lead to weight gain and even physical and mental illness. 【1】, we highly recommend mindful eating.
Eating with your non-dominant hand is a great way to stop you from overeating. 【2】, it’ll force you to slow down and thus allow you to be a lot more conscious of the food you are eating. It’s also an effective way for those wanting to lose weight.

When it comes to eating, you should give your undivided attention to the food you eat, which means you should turn off any electronic devices. 【4】. Technological devices should not be a distraction from any mindful eating practices. So while eating, be sure the TV is off and keep away from your cellphone.
