21、We have long been attracted by quick fixes that could increase our intelligence. Today, people’s hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in “smarter minds”. But is this quick fix all it is said to be?
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic (算术),memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. The more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get-or so some apps tell us. It is really a big promise.
Many of the apps say they are beaked by “science”, a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist. The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day flies in the face of what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying a diverse spread of thousands of users across a wide variety of apps, researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that “brain training has no appreciable effect on cognitive (认知的) functioning in the “real world”,even after extensive training periods”. The positive effects that have been found are restricted to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users ‘are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or construct a complex spreadsheet. I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere.
Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Return of the Obra Dinn”, see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
【1】What does the author say about brain training apps?
A.They have scientific support.
B.They work in the form of games.
C.They require problem-solving skills.
D.They are based on complex arithmetic.
【2】What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Agrees with.
B.Takes advantage of.
C.Goes against.
D.Comes from.
【3】Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory?
A.Limited.
B.Indirect.
C.Damaging.
D.Far-reaching
【4】What is the author’s attitude to “Baba Is You”?
A.Doubtful.
B.Intolerant.
C.Uninterested.
D.Favorable.
22、On TikTok, “#Selfcare” has 28.2 billion views, while the hashtag (主题标签) can be found on over 66 million Instagram posts. Also, books about self-care often top many people s shopping lists.
On the surface, it makes complete sense. Who wouldn’t like the idea of making oneself feel better and taking care of their mind, body and soul? Yet, we have to be careful not to view self-care as a cure-all solution to our problems. Self-care pursued without awareness of your specific needs and consistent evaluation can cause emotional, financial, mental and physical consequences.
According to Zishan Khan, a psychologist with Mindpath Health, self-care can lead to a person becoming overwhelmed (不知所措的) when met with a sea of advice, emerging everywhere from podcasts to self-help books. “So don’t allow what others suggest to cloud your internal voice,” says Khan. “Self-care can only benefit a person if it’s consistent with their goals and values.”
Khan further emphasizes the danger of unregulated physically-centered self-care advice, such as from influencers. “Their content often overly focuses on beauty and improving one’s looks. This can unintentionally lead to body image concerns and thus actually worsen one’s mental health,” she says.
Another danger can come when self-care actions reach the level of obsession or addiction, says Melissa Boudin, a psychologist of Choosing Therapy. “When you spend a large amount of time thinking about or practising a certain self-care behavior, this may be a sign that self-care has gone from beneficial to harmful,” she says, using the example of self-care through healthy eating and then going so far as to develop an eating disorder.
Lena Suarez-Angelino, a licensed clinical social worker, recommends creating a list of activities that make you feel better but don’t overextend you. Worthwhile and beneficial self-care may include anything from time with loved ones to walking. If you can’t really afford to buy dinner for the fifth time this week, that’s not it.
【1】What does paragraph 1 mainly suggest?
A.Self-care pursuit needs restricting.
B.Online interaction becomes popular.
C.Awareness of personal needs matters.
D.People attach much attention to self-care.
【2】What can do harm to the self-care practice in Zishan Khan’s opinion?
A.Being open to new self-care ideas.
B.Always keeping your goals in mind.
C.Taking up too many responsibilities.
D.Caring too much about others’ advice.
【3】Why does Melissa Boudin mention the example about eating in paragraph 5?
A.To prove addiction to self-care actions can be harmful.
B.To warn physically-centered self-care advice is useless.
C.To show how to make yourself feel better in a right way.
D.To tell the reason for people’s worry about others’ views.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce the dangers of self-care advice.
B.To encourage us to read more self-help books.
C.To remind us to be cautious to pursue self-care.
D.To discuss some ways to make ourselves better.
23、Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.
Be honest with yourself
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse.【1】So before taking action towards any endeavor, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for?”
【2】However,if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself.
Honor your limits
You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable.【3】It is important that you are wise with your resources.
The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always someone out there who has more of what you desire.
Stop comparing yourself to others.【4】Focus on living a meaningful life that is consistent with your values and goals.
Be fair to yourself
You are likely your worst critic. You secretly say things to yourself that you would never have the heart to tell others.
Remember to have realistic expectations of yourself.【5】If the goal is unrealistic, then you have to say no and adjust your expectations.
A.You criticize yourself for shortcomings.
B.The truth is you have limited energy and time.
C.The reality is that you are not being recognized.
D.What someone is doing with their life has nothing to do with you.
E.If a pursuit will truly improve the quality of your life, then go for it.
F.The same can be said about other pursuits such as accumulating wealth and status.
G.When you set goals, consider whether you have set the standard at a reasonable level.
24、 Children may not be putting coins in piggy banks for much longer. With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital.
To reflect this trend, many mobile budgeting apps for children have sprung up worldwide:GoHenry, Osper, and Gimi, to name but a few. These apps offer a simple money management service for children, often for a monthly fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children's accounts, set limits and monitor transactions(交易). Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card.
These apps aim to teach young childrenfinancial concepts, such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For instance, the Swedish app Gimi—with 1.2 million users globally—has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money. Parents can pay children interest as they save. There is also a chores feature, where parents can pay children for completing household tasks. The account is attached to a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but is expected to be launched elsewhere in Europe in 2020.
Haglund, CEO of Gimi, believes the app can teach children responsible spending habits. "You don't become better at money management just because you have a degree in economics. It's more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents' money when you're 6 to 12 years old," he says.
But Catherine Winter, managing director of financial capability at The London Institute of Banking and Finance, warns that while digital tools can help there needs to be a more structured approach to financial education. The area should "have regular, dedicated, classroom time and ideally should be taught as a standalone subject," she said. “Children would then have the right context and foundation to get the most out of both the apps and their money.”
【1】What does the underlined part "this trend" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.It pays children interest as they save.
B.It has 1. 2 million users all over Sweden.
C.It can teach children concepts related to money
D.It is attached to a credit card available in Sweden only.
【3】What can we learn from Winter's words?
A.Digital tools can help a lot with spending habits
B.Money management requires financial capability.
C.A regular classroom-based financial education is needed.
D.Children can get the most out of their money with the apps
【4】What's the passage mainly about?
A.The rise of the digital piggy bank.
B.The trend towards a cashless society.
C.The importance of financial education.
D.The popularity of money management apps.
