21、The brain drain is characterized as the emigration of highly skilled laborers to other countries. 【1】 In the EU countries such as Poland, Italy and Portugal are especially affected by the brain drain, while other countries such as Sweden, Ireland and Denmark notice the opposite effect, namely brain gain.
There are both push and pull factors affecting the brain drain. Pull factors include higher employment rates, higher salary and an increase in quality of life, while the push factors are high youth unemployment and high enterprise death rates.
【2】These effects include a reduction in human capital, limited capacity to innovate, reduced economic growth, and a higher cost of public goods. There are positive side effects as well, such as return migration and incentives (动机) for investment in education.
【3】 The European Committee of the Regions, therefore, suggests that local and regional authorities develop instruments and promote measures to increase the attractiveness of the regions facing the brain drain. They should also set up local alliances (联盟), which can help in drafting and carrying out local policies.
The brain drain's negative effects have been key concerns of the EU. As current economic and social differences between European regions are the main cause of the brain drain, the need for a strong association between Europe's cohesion (凝聚) policies has been stressed. 【4】 This will also help in adopting the measures expected to fight against the problem of the brain drain including investing in education and employment in European regions.
A study launched by an organization of the EU analyzed several programs across Europe. 【5】These are steps like understanding the need for skilled workers, creating mechanisms for cooperation between governments, corporations and universities, removing structural barriers, etc.
A．This calls for a territorial approach.
B．It is a problem faced by many parts of Europe.
C．The brain drain can have a negative impact on the sending region.
D．Brain waste happens in the meantime in most European countries.
E．Two of the key objectives are also necessary to reduce the brain drain.
F．It came up with a list of best practices for fighting against the brain drain.
G．Such a policy should help in promoting an even development across the regions of Europe.
22、 “You’re not listening!” “Let me finish!” “That’s not what I said!” After “I love you,” these are among the most common words in close relationships. During my two years researching a book on listening, I learned something unbelievable about interpersonal communication: The closer we feel toward someone, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. It’s called the closeness-communication bias (偏见) and, over time, it can hurt, and even end relationships.
The more you know someone, the more likely you are to ignore him or her because you think you already know what he or she is going to say. It’s kind of like when you’ve traveled a certain route several times and no longer notice signposts and scenery.
Social science researchers have repeatedly proved the closeness-communication bias in the experiments where they paired subjects first with friends or spouses (配偶) and then with strangers. The researchers asked subjects to interpret what their partners were saying. While the subjects predicted they would more exactly understand those who they had close relationships with, they often understood them no better than strangers, and often worse.
The closeness-communication bias not only keeps us from listening to those we love, it can also keep us from allowing our loved ones to listen to us. It may explain why people in close relationships sometimes keep secrets from one another.
Another study shows that people often share their concerns with strangers rather than their spouses, family members or dear friends because they fear judgment.
So what can we do to avoid the closeness-communication bias? The British psychologist Robin Dunbar says the key is to talk with those closest to us every day. That means asking, “How are you?” and actually listening to the answer.
【1】Which of the following is an example of closeness-communication bias?
A．Can I talk to you about this?
B．How interesting! Tell me more.
C．I know exactly what you want to say.
D．I feel bad about what you’re suffering.
【2】Why do people share their concerns with strangers?
A．They hope to learn more about others.
B．They need to build close relationships.
C．They fear losing their loved family members.
D．They worry about family and friends’ opinions.
【3】Where is the text most likely from?
A．A blog written by a physicist.
B．A website recommending books.
C．An article about human behavior.
D．A report on international relations.

24、Restaurants’ growth accelerated in the 20th century. Dining out became relatively more expensive. And yet three economic changes ensured that demand for restaurants grew despite rising prices.
The first was immigration. In the 50 years after the Second World War, the net flow of migrants into rich countries were more than four times as before. Starting a restaurant was a good career move for new arrivals： it neither required formal qualifications nor, at least for chefs, fluency in the local language. Migrants tended to improve the quality of an area’s restaurants. London’s became far better in the era of free movement with the European Union. The melting pot that is Singapore has some of the best food in the world Restaurants became more tempting, even as prices went up.
The second factor was the changing microeconomics of the family. Households’ choices about whether to make their own food or to buy it premade were shaped not only by the cost of ingredients, but also by the time spent on shopping and preparation. As more women entered the workforce during the 20th century, a working woman who cooked dinner would be sacrificing time which might otherwise be used to earn money. And so eating out made increasing economic sense, even as it became more expensive.
The third factor was changing working patterns. Historically, poor people tended to work longer hours than rich ones. But in the latter half of the 20th century the opposite became true. The rise of knowledge-intensive jobs, and globalization, made rich people’s work more financially rewarding and enjoyable. Working late into the night became a sign of status. The result was that the people with the most money to spend on dining out increasingly needed it most, since they had the least free time.
The long-term future of the restaurant is less clear. The pandemic has led to many people buying more takeout than before, while others have a newfound love of cooking.
Restaurants have little choice but to continue to adapt. Maybe apart from food, they can also double down on what they do best: offering those who need to eat a taste of romance, glamour and love.
【1】Why was starting a restaurant a good choice for the new migrants?
A．They could meet the requirements easily.
B．They could speak the local language fluently.
C．They could serve the best food in the world.
D．They could move to and from the country freely.
【2】Which one best describes people doing knowledge-intensive jobs in the second half of the 20th century?
A．They might make little money.
B．They tended to eat at home.
C．They tended to work longer hours.
D．They might have a lower social status.
【3】What effect does the pandemic have on restaurants according to the passage?
A．Restaurants have to double the price of dishes.
B．Restaurants have to reduce the cost of ingredients.
C．Restaurants have to adapt to the needs of customers.
D．Restaurants have to cancel the take-out service.
【4】What’s the main idea of the whole passage?
A．How to make restaurants more appealing.
B．How restaurants survive the pandemic.
C．What contributes to the development of restaurants.
D．Why people go to restaurants despite the rising price.
