21、 Emojis are popular among mobile phone and social media users. 900 million of them are sent daily without text via Facebook Messenger. As text alone isn't always able to convey true feelings, millions of people use the digital icons to enrich their digital communication. While there are emojis of almost every kind, there is no emoji representing forgiveness Seeing the need to promote understanding and reconciliation, a Finnish group decided it was time for a “forgiveness” emoji.
In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. This was done with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and several Finnish nonprofit organizations including the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation.
Antti Pentikainen from the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation told The Guardian that forgiveness is vital in creating peace. “Without it, conflicts continue in cycles and get worse,” he said. “We urgently need to learn better how to reconcile. These skills are needed everywhere. Different ways to encourage apologizing and forgiveness are an essential part of it, and this includes the social media environment.
Forgivemoji's site featured an open call to the public to submit their designs for a new forgiveness emoji. The campaign attracted over two million people around the world. They receive many submissions including a bandaged heart, and people from different cultures hugging. After hundreds of people submitted their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February, 2020. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium, which officially adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard every year, is an image of two hands giving a thumbs up symbol in front of a heart. If the Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.
The Forgvrmoji campaign goes far beyond influencing social media. The message of prioritizing forgiveness and reconciliation is helpful for the world. Promoting a culture of apology and understanding is critical for both civil communication and personal relationships. An emoji may seem like a small place t0 begin, but it's an important start.
【1】Why do people prefer adding digital icons to their online communication?

22、We know that hugs make us feel easy inside. And this feeling, it turns out, could actually ward off stress and protect r the immune (免疫) system, according to a new research from Carnegie Mellon University.
It’s a well-known fact that stress can weaken the immune system. In this study, the researchers sought to determine whether hugs----like social support more broadly ----could protect individuals from the increased sensitivity to illness brought on by the particular stress that come with interpersonal conflict.
“We know that people experiencing ongoing conflicts with others are less able to fight off cold viruses. We also know that people who report having social support are partly protected from the effects of stress on psychological states, such as depression and anxiety, “the study’s lead author, psychologist Dr. Sheldon Cohen , said in a statement. “We tested whether awareness of social support is equally effective in protecting us from sensitivity to infection caused by stress and also whether receiving hugs might partially account for those feeling of support and thus protect a person against infection.”
In the experiment , over 400 healthy adults filled out a questionnaire about their perceived (感知) social support and also participated in a nightly phone interview for two weeks . They were asked the frequency they engaged in interpersonal conflicts and received bugs that day.
Then, the researchers exposed the participants to a common cold virus, and monitored them to assess signs of infection. They found that both perceived social support and more frequent hugs reduced the risk of infection associated with experiencing interpersonal conflict. Regardless of whether or not they experienced social conflicts, infected participants with greater perceived social support and more frequent hugs had less severe illness symptoms.
“This suggests that being hugged by a trusted person may act as an effective means of conveying support and that increasing the frequency of hugs might be an effective means of reducing the effects of stress,” Cohen said. “The apparent protective effect of hugs may result from the physical contact itself or hugging being a behavioral indicator of support and closeness. Either way, those who receive more hugs are somewhat more protected from infection.”
If you need any more reason to go wrap your arms around someone special, consider this: hugs also lower blood pressure, reduce fearsome around death and dying, improve heart health and decrease feeling of loneliness.

23、Why build a house when you can print one instead?Startups（初创企业）around the world are now using 3 D printing technology for home construction.They say it's faster, cheaper and more sustainable than traditional methods.Printing houses can also save huge amounts of wood（垃圾堆）.
Currently, 3 D printing systems can equal the work output of 10 to 20 workers in five or six different trades, said Jason Ballard, a 3 D printing construction startup, according to AP News.The machines can work 24 hours a day as well
So how do these 3 D printers "print" a house anyway?Machines deposit（使沉积）thin layers of material — such as concrete（混泥土）, metal and plastic — until the three﹣dimensional house is built from the ground up.And a house can be completed within 120 hours, according to CNN.
Ballard said that 3 D printing was like the most powerful automation of all the automations we could discover.This powerful automation has the potential to prevent rising prices in the housing market, homelessness and overcrowding.But the technology behind 3 D printing houses is still in its early stages of development.For example, ICON alone has only printed 24 houses in the US and Mexico.But（梦想家）from dreaming of larger applications of this technology.
"With the 3 D printed home, we're now setting the tone for the future：the rapid realization of affordable homes with control over the shape of your own house, " said Yasin Torunoglu（市议员）for housing in the community of the Netherlands' first 3 D printed house.
【1】What is one of the advantages of printing houses?
A．It is cheaper and less wasteful.
B．It improves the construction sites.
C．It helps create manufacturing jobs.
D．Its construction materials are safer.
【2】What is the drawback of the new method?
A．It is not widespread.
B．It is not mature enough.
C．It best fits building in America.
D．Its automation is not powerful.
【3】What can we learn about 3 D printed houses according to Yasin Torunoglu?
A．Affordable 3 D printed houses will be offered soon.
B．People will prefer 3 D printed houses to traditional ones.
C．Only 3 D printed houses will exist in the Netherlands.
D．The future of 3 D printed houses remains to be uncertain.

C．To encourage the use of 3 D printing technology.
D．To report on 3 D printing technology for construction.
24、The concept of “forest bathing” has long been praised for its supposed health benefits. It can improve mental health and cognitive (认知) performance, reduce blood pressure and even treat depression and anxiety. Yet forests can be hard to reach or completely inaccessible in a world where as many as 5 billion people might live in urban environments by 2030. Some scientists believe that virtual reality could offer an alternative.
VR has already been used to help distract children undergoing medical procedures, and icy virtual landscapes have eased the pain of burn victims. Could virtual forests obtain the same physiological responses as real ones?
A group of scientists at the Czech University of Life Sciences—a psychologist with researchers in the forestry department—has tested the assumption by taking a group of 15people into the Roztocky háj nature reserve for 30-minute bathing sessions. They then used laser scanners to develop a virtual twin of the same area of forest, enhanced with audio recordings. Twenty participants, including 10 who visited the real forest, spent 30 minutes in the virtual forest. Questionnaires assessing the participants emotional states revealed no significant difference between the two experiences, according to the results. As the forestry researcher leading the project explained, “I was aware that the forest was not real. However, the experience was vivid, and it was easy for me to forget that I was in an experimental room.”
There are limitations, of course. Since computer processing power is finite (有限), virtual forests have physical boundaries. Some of the participants said they felt caged when they encountered the invisible forest wall. Power constraints (约束) also mean the computer is not perfect at small details like mushrooms or insects. Nor can virtual environments imitate every sensory experience of a real forest, like the smell of damp leaves. Making other sensations, like the feel of wind would prove more complicated.
Virtual environments can also cause cybersickness, which happens when your eyes perceive motion while your body does not. That is why some people felt dizzy after the bathing sessions. Psychologists and computer scientists hope that further research with larger groups of participants will help to overcome these limitations.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The origin of forest bathing.
B．The decrease of the real forest.
C．The necessity of virtual forest bathing.
D．The expansion of urban environment.
【2】How did the participants react to virtual forests?
A．They felt almost the same as the real forests.
B．They longed for staying at the virtual forests.
C．They preferred surroundings with audio recordings.
D．They felt it difficult to adapt to experimental room.
【3】What can improve the user experience in virtual forests?
A．Invisible forest walls.
B．Better small details.
C．Physical boundaries.
D．Sensory from real forest.
【4】A user of virtual forests may be suffering cybersickness if ______.
A．he feels curious and excited about forest bathing
B．his body isn’t used to the motion it’s experiencing
C．his psychologist or doctor gives him an examination
D．he fails to overcome the limitations of environments

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。
Rescue
Dawn came slowly. A shaft of sunlight reached into the 4-meter-deep crater (弹坑), making the metal of the bomb shine. The boys were numb and tight, and hungry. They tried not to look at the huge shape of the bomb that appeared over them.
Harry suddenly opened his eyes and seized Jack’s arm “Listen!” he whispered. Jack’s eye widened instantly, and both boys strained their ears. They could hear a man talking softly. The voice seemed a long way off. Jack went to shout, but Harry clamped his hand over Jack’s mouth. “Don’t shout,” he hissed (发出嘘声), “We’ll be blown into pieces.”
The soft voice came nearer and nearer. Suddenly, an army captain appeared at the top of crater. He was talking to a mouthpiece (话筒) around his neck. He stopped talking when he saw the boys. “What the...” he said, “Who are you?” Harry found his voice, “Jack and Harry Brown.” “Is that dog dead?” asked the captain. “No, he’s sleeping,” said Harry.
The captain spoke into the mouthpiece again, “Sergeant (中士),” he said, stopped and took a breath before he went on. “There are two kids and a dog down here.” Then the captain crouched down and stared closely at the bomb. “Don’t move and don’t speak,” he said, “or we’ll all go up.” He began talking quietly to his sergeant.
Jack and Harry were too stiff to move. They held Raf, the dog, tightly and waited. Another man appeared at the top of the crater. “I thought so,” he said, “It’s them all right.”
“It’s Old Tin Hat!” whispered Jack. Old Tin Hat was carrying a ladder. He and the captain lowered the ladder into the loose earth next to the two boys. “Keep still,” the captain warned them. As the captain held on at the top, Old Tin Hat started to come down the ladder very slowly, very gently, step by step. At last, he reached the bottom, and with one movement, he lifted Jack on his back. Harry watched as Jack was carried up. It seemed to take an age.
