22、The Tibet autonomous region plans to have 4,000 kilometers of rail lines by 2025 and eventually connect all its 55 counties and districts by rail, according to the region’s Development and Reform Commission. The region will expand and improve the quality of its railway network so that rail coverage in the region sees significant growth, and the contribution of railways to local economies and social development is further strengthened.
The rail network plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period and beyond was released recently by the commission. By 2025, the construction of several railway projects, including the Ya’an-Nyingchi (林芝) section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, the Shigatse (日喀则)-Pakhuktso section of the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway and the Borni-Ra’uksection of the Yunnan-Tibet Railway, will all see major progress, according to the plan. Other key projects include the electrification (电气化) of the existing Qinghai-Tibet Railway and upgrading the double-track railways of the Pakhuktso-Hetian line of the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway.

23、 A photo of the late actor Robin Williams hangs with flowers left by people paying their respects, in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday at the home where his hit TV series Mork &Mindy was set.
Robin Williams, a brilliant shape-shifter who could channel his energy into delightful comic characters like Mrs Doubtfire or use it in delicate work like his Oscar-winning turn in Goodwill Hunting, died on Monday in an apparent suicide at the age of 63.
The office said the Initial investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to a sphyxio(*g). The Marin County Coroner's Office said Williams was last seen alive at home at about 10 p.m. on Sunday. An emergency call from his house in Tiburon was placed to the Sheriff's Office shortly before noon on Monday.
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am heartbroken, said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider.
"On behalf of Robins family, we are asking for privacy during our time of deep sorrow. As he is remembered, it is our hope that the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of Joy and laughter he gave to millions.”
Like so many funnymen, Wiliams had dramatic ambitions. He played for tears in Awakenings, Dead Poets Society and What Dreams May Come, which led New York Times critic Stephen Holden to write that he dreaded seeing the actor’s "Humpty Dumpty smile and wrinkled moist eyes.” But other critics approved, and Willams won three Golden Globes, for Good Moring, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire and The Fisher king.
“Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that supported him. He was a friend and I can’t believe he’s gone,” Spielberg said.

24、Although the “no better time than now” idea makes some sense when it comes to forming good habits, the fact of the matter is that your willpower is limited. 【1】 If stressed, or otherwise not in a normal daily routine, you’ll find it much harder to keep up with a good habit.
Habits are something that is deeply rooted in our behavior.【2】 Similarly, starting up a good habit is going to take a lot of work and conditioning. If you try to take on too much at once, you are probably setting yourself up for failure. So focus on just one good habit for now and move on to the others later.
While your goal may be to end up doing something every day (like exercising), it’s unlikely that you’re going to be able to reach that goal right from the start. It’s going to take time and willpower to condition yourself. 【3】 Start building up that good habit gradually for a more successful habit forming.
【4】 If you can set a different goal each week or so, you can motivate yourself without getting upset. Try exercising just two or three days the first week, then set a slightly higher goal for the next week, and so on. As you get more used to the act of exercising during the day, it’ll become easier for you to work toward your end goal of working out every day. 【5】 The more consistently you can stick with it, the more you’ll want to keep going.
A．Once you do, keep it up.
B．You are expected to start small.
C．It is important to set goals for yourself.
D．This is why quitting a bad habit is so hard.
E．You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
F．Thus, don’t beat yourself up if you miss days at the beginning.
G．Considering this, it’s better to wait until your life is in order before starting.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
How Come Scientists Draw Opposite Conclusions?
One of the biggest concerns is science is bias-that scientist themselves, consciously or unconsciously, may put their thumbs on the scales and influence the outcomes of experiments. But gathering the data and running an experiment is not the only part of the process that can go awry. The methods chosen to analyse the data can also influence results even if being based on the same data-set.
A new paper, headed by Martin Schweinsberg, a psychologist at the European School of Management and Technology, in Berlin, helps shed some light on why. Dr Schweinsberg gathered 49 different researchers with each handed a copy of a data-set consisting of nearly 8,000 comments made on an online forum for chatty intellectuals. Dr Schweinsberg asked his guinea pigs to explore a seemingly straightforward hypothesis(假设)that a woman’s tendency to participate would rise as the number of other women in a conversation increased. Crucially, the researchers were asked to describe their analysis in detail by posting their methods and workflows, which allowed Dr Schweinsberg to see exactly what they were up to.
As it turned out, no two analysts employed exactly the same methods, and none got the same results. Some 29% of analysts reported that women do indeed participate more, if plenty of other women are present. But 21% concluded that the opposite was true. (The remainder found no significant difference).
The problem was not that any of the analyses were “wrong” in any objective sense. The differences arose because researchers chose different definitions of what they were studying, and applied different techniques. When it came to defining how much women spoke, some analysts plumped for the number of words in each woman’s comment. Others chose the number of characters. Still others defined it by the number of conversations that a woman participated in, irrespective of how much she actually said. The statistical techniques chosen also had an impact, though less than the choice of definitions. Some researchers chose linear-regression analysis: others went for logistic regression or a Kendall correlation.
Truth, in other words, can be a slippery customer, even for simple-sounding questions. What to do? One conclusion is that experimental design is critically important. It is recommended that scientists specify exactly how they chose to perform their analysis, allowing those decisions to be reviewed by others. It is probably not practical, he concedes, to check and re-check every result. But if many different analytical approaches point in the same direction, then scientists can be confident that their conclusion is the right one.
