22、When you finish your day at school, you probably rush to your dormitory or home as quickly as possible. But for some people, their day begins in the middle of the night.
Welcome to the interesting world of “the Master”, the owner of a small restaurant located in a busy district that only opens from midnight to 7 am.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai announced that he had directed and starred as the Master in a remake of Japanese director Joji Matsuoka’s famous comedy Midnight Diner. The new movie is expected to come out in Chinese mainland cinemas later this year.
While serving regular soup every night, the Master is also willing to make customized (定制的) dishes if his customers ask. Besides its delicious food, what makes this eatery special is that it’s a place of sanctuary and togetherness.
Midnight is often when worries, loneliness, and sadness occur, and midnight diner provides the simple comforts of food and drink, and more importantly, a warm place where people can keep each other company, talk, and share their stories. The customers,stories cover everything, from problems at work to parenthood, romance, friendship, and the regrets of a wasted life. Listening to their stories, customers offer encouragement and advice to one another. But the Master only provides the life lesson- a good day must follow a bad one-when necessary.
Despite feeing different kinds of disappointment, people need to find their own satisfaction in their seemingly messy lives. The small pleasure can be a good hot-pot meal,” Japanese culture website JapanPewered.com noted. It s easy to lose sight of what gives life meaning as we go about the daily routine of work and home life.”
After all, no one is flawless (无暇的) and no one’s life is perfect, but imperfections are the space where possibilities live. As Kelly Mcneils, author of Your Messy Brilliance, wrote, “The good, the bad, and the ugly, they are our greatest wealth because they include every single part of ourselves and leave nothing out-and when we fully accept all parts of ourselves, we discover our true power.”

24、You can tell a lot about people’s general state of mind based on their social media feeds. Are they always tweeting (发微博)about their biggest annoyances or posting pictures of particularly cute kitties? In a similar fashion, researchers are turning to Twitter for clues about the overall happiness of entire geographic communities.
What they’re finding is that regional variation in the use of common phrases produces predictions that don’t always reflect the local state of well being. But removing from their analyses just three specific terms -- good, love and LOL - greatly improves the accuracy of the methods.
“We’re living in a crazy COVID-19 era. And now more than ever, we’re using social media to adapt to a new normal and reach out to the friends and family that we can’t meet face-to-face.” Kokil Jaidka studies computational linguistics at the National University of Singapore. “But our words aren’t useful just to understand what we, as individuals, think and feel. They’re also useful clues about the community we live in.”
One of the simpler methods that many scientists use to analyze the data involves correlating words with positive or negative emotions. But when those records are compared with phone surveys that assess regional well-being, Jaidka says, they don’t paint an accurate picture of the local zeitgeist(时代精神).
Being able to get an accurate read on the mood of the population is no laughing matter. “That’s particularly important now, in the time of COVID, where we’re expecting a mental health crisis and we’re already seeing in survey data the largest decrease in subjective well-being in 10 years at least, if not ever.”
To find out why, Jaidka and her team analyzed billions of tweets from around the United States. And they found that among the most frequently used terms on Twitter are LOL, love and good. And they actually throw the analysis off. Why the disconnect?
“Internet language is really a different beast than regular spoken language. We’ve adapted words from the English vocabulary to mean different things in different situations. ” says Jaidka. “Take, for example, LOL. I’ve tweeted the word LOL to express irony, annoyance and sometimes just pure surprise. When the methods for measuring LOL as a marker of happiness were created in the 1990s, it still meant laughing out loud.”
“There are plenty of terms that are less misleading,” says Jaidka. “Our models tell us that words like excited, fun, great, opportunity, interesting, fantastic and those are better words for measuring subjective well-being. ”
【1】The researchers turn to social media feeds to _________.
A.help with the analysis of people’s subjective well-being
B.locate the most-frequently used words
C.prove the disconnect between language and emotions
D.make the prediction method more effective
【2】How did Jaidka know the analysis wasn’t accurate?
A.It didn’t reflect the mood of the entire geographic community
B.It didn’t match the assessment result of the phone surveys.
C.It didn’t consider the features of Internet language.
D.It didn’t take the regional variations into account.
【3】Which of the following statements will Jaidka most probably agree with?
A.Face-to-face communication is needed to ensure happiness.
B.Internet use is to blame for the decrease in subjective well-being.
C.Internet language should be abandoned as a source of scientific analysis.
D.Less misleading words should be used in assessing subjective well-being.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Dad handed me the bucket and the net with a long, wooden handle. He gave Paulie two dead fish wrapped in newspaper. They were tied up with string like a present. I held my nose, but Paulie held those fish like they were his best baseball cards.
“Since we all want crabs for supper, catch a whole bunch. But just in case you don’t, we have leftover broccoli(花椰菜).” Dad said with a wink.
The salty air from Chesapeake Bay filled our noses. This was the best place in the world to catch blue crabs. They like grassy, shadowy water, so Paulie and I headed for our old wooden dock. It was hot, and I sat down and swung my legs over the edge, into the cool water. Paulie struggled to tie the string to one of the slippery fish. Then he slid the extra fish into the bucket and set it in the dark water under the dock for later.
“Here.” Paulie handed me the baited string. “Dangle(提着)this down in the water to call the crabs.”
Crabs love smelly, old fish, so our first crab didn’t take long to come. Its big claw clamped(紧夹住)the bait, and I raised the string real slow so Paulie could net it. But my legs swishing(发出刷刷声)in the water startled that crab, and it let go and floated back to the bottom like a leaf off a tree. Paulie brought up the net and stood there with the handle on the dock.
“Kathy, I can't believe you’re going to be in third grade and can’t sit still for one minute,” he said.
“And I can’t believe you’re going to be in sixth grade and haven’t caught any crabs yet.”
I went back to dangling the fish.
