21、 Teacher burnout（倦怠） and student stress may be linked, according to a University of British Columbia study. The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students' cortisol levels（可体松水平）, which are a biological indicator of stress.
Researchers collected saliva（唾液）samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students' cortisol levels were elevated. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.
"This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers," said Eva Oberle, the study's lead author. Indeed,the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. It is unknown what came first - elevated cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom."
Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may impact teachers' ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students' needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.
Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioural problems, or special needs. In this scenario, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.
"Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut," said Oberle.
"It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and alleviate stress in the classroom," said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study's co-author and director of HELP. "If we do not support teachers, we risk the collateral damage(附带损害) of students.

22、Organic farms use no man-made chemicals to increase crops or control insects and disease and organic fields produce fewer crops, on average, than other fields. However, agricultural scientists in Switzerland have displayed the long-term effect of organic farming methods, that is, the organic methods improved the health of the soil and used half as much energy.
The Swiss scientists compared the effects of organic and traditional farming methods over a period of more than twenty years. They grew crops on four fields of land in Switzerland. Two fields were grown using traditional farming methods. The others were grown using organic farming methods. The crops and soil use were similar in all the fields studied.
The study found that the organic fields produced about 20% fewer crops than the other fields. However, the farmers used less fertilizer (化肥) and energy on the organic fields. They found the organic fields were healthier.
The scientists say the organic fields have more nutrients in the soil. The soils in the organic fields also have more biological activity than the other fields. The organic fields have more helpful organisms and a larger number of different organisms. The organic fields have almost two times as many insects, including helpful insects. In traditional farming, chemicals designed to kill harmful insects also kill helpful ones.
The researchers say the findings show that organic crop production rates change little over time, and that soil fertility increases. They say the findings suggest that organic farms can help the environment by increasing soil fertility.
Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular in some countries. Many people believe that eating organic food is more healthful than eating food grown with chemicals. Some people are willing to pay more money to buy organic food.
【1】What does the study show about the organic methods?
A．They have more output than other fields.
B．They use more energy than traditional ones.
C．They benefit human health and nature.
D．They can control diseases without using chemicals.
【2】In what way do the researchers carry out the experiment?
A．Selecting the best seeds.
B．Applying different methods.
C．Using the latest technology.
D．Planting crops in special soils.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning organic fields?
A．Its shortage.
B．Its products.
C．Its application.
D．Its strengths.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A．Organic farming is environment-friendly.
B．No insects exist in organic fields.
C．People can’t afford organic food at present.
D．Organic crop production rate increases rapidly.
23、For a long time, comedy has been viewed as a profession for men only. But this has changed in recent years. Many female comics (喜剧演员) have made their mark on the stage not by ignoring the issues of gender inequality, but by bringing them to light.
Yang Li, 28, is one of them. Yang has done stand - up comedy (单口喜剧) for about three years and often focuses on the difficulties females face. For example, she recently made the headlines with a biting joke about how women are described in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“In The Avengers (《复仇者联盟》), there are six heroes, and only one of them is a woman,” she said during a July episode of Rock & Roast (《脱口秀大会》). Yang was referring to Black Widow, whose super - power is the ability to slow down her aging. “How exactly is she supposed to save the world by surviving until all the bad guys die?”
“What I said is not only a joke, but also something female comics are facing, as well as women in general,” Yang told Jiemian News.
Chinese comics twins Yan Yi and Yan Yue echoed this opinion. They once joked that “the only movie that doesn't describe two women fighting with each other over a man is The Shing (闪灵) (an iconic horror movie from the US).”
Despite getting more important roles, however, women still face challenges in the comedy industry, according to Six Tone, a publication based in Shanghai.
“I've found that audiences tend to be more judgmental about a female comedian's appearance,” Yang Mengqi, who made the top 30 on Rock & Roast, said. To avoid unwelcome attention, female comics have to be especially prudent (精明的) in choosing what clothes they wear to perform.
The other challenge is that females are sometimes taken less seriously, despite abundant evidence of their talent and commitment in the male - dominated field.
Maple Zuo is a comic who performs in both English and Mandarin. “It's hard to fit in when I'm the only female comedian (at a show),” said Zuo, who has toured internationally. “Every time there's a comedy scene party, they always spontaneously (自然而然地) divided up into two groups: one for the male comics, another for their girlfriends,” she said. “I always end up hanging out with the girlfriends.”
Even so, many Chinese female comics feel optimistic about their future. Yang told Sixth Tone, “When people ask what has motivated me to stick with stand - up comedy, my response is simple: I hope to use whatever influence I have to improve gender equality.”

A．To explore challenges female comics face

【2】Why did Yang Li joke about the role of Black Widow in The Avengers?
A．Black Widow is less brave than other male heroes
B．She admired Black Widow's ability to age slowly
C．She doubted Black Widow's ability to survive
D．Black Widow reflects negative stereotypes (负面成见) about women in society
