21、Though it’s somewhat mysterious, sleep talking is a common phenomenon. 【1】 (and less than 10% do it every day). And roughly 67% of adults talk in their sleep at least once every three months. It often runs in families and tends to be more common among men.
【2】— ranging from mumbling(咕噜)to complete sentences. Sometimes it may seem as though the sleep-talker is giving a speech, while at other times it can sound as though the person is carrying on a conversation with someone else. The chatter can occur during any stage of sleep.
If a friend or family member has ever told you that you talk in your sleep, your first concern might be whether you said something offensive or let out a long-held secret. 【3】, as far as your health is concerned.
Sleep talking is considered a sleep disorder. In terms of what causes it, inadequate sleep, alcohol or drug use, illness, stress, anxiety, and depression are common causes of such unconscious thinking. 【4】. In rare situations, sleep talking is associated with a psychiatric disorder(精神障碍).
If you’re frequently waking up tired, or you feel overwhelmed or sad most of the time, it's worth talking to your doctor about sleep talking. 【5】. If you talk in your sleep only occasionally and you are not experiencing symptoms of any other sleep disorders or health conditions, then it's probably nothing to worry about.
A.It can be annoying to be a sleep-talker
B.Sleep talking can vary considerably in its content
C.About half of kids talk in their sleep at least once a year
D.Just make sure that it isn’t a red flag or another health problem
E.Therefore, for most people it is a rare and short-lived occurrence
F.Your second thought might be whether sleep talking is something to worry about
G.Sometimes this nighttime chatter accompanies other sleep disorders such as sleepwalking
22、For those of you who have decided to study in colleges overseas, it’s time to choose your major. There’s no standard rule for how to decide on a major. 【1】
●Start with your interests.
Brainstorming can be helpful. Make a list of everything you’re passionate (热情的) about. 【2】 Then, review your list and pick out a few things that could be related to different courses.
●Think about your abilities.
Next, make a list of your skills. 【3】 Attending some academic programmes or off-campus activities and taking internships (实习) are good ways to both explore your interests and gain skills.
●【4】
You might not know exactly what you want to do professionally, but you may have a more general goal of doing work that helps people, for example. Additionally, you may also want to compare salaries for various careers to see what the future would be like if you had that career.
●Get insight from professionals.
You might have friends or family members who can share their experience of choosing a major. 【5】 They will have consultants and resources that you can use to gain a better understanding of the options available to you.
A.It’s important to remember that your major isn’t a direct route to a future career.

23、 During a visit to the United Arab Emirates, I was invited to speak to college students to learn more about how the country is preparing the next generation for the future. I met with students who were required to present their final projects in a three-minute presentation to members of the ruling family. Now, that is pressure. But learning the art of public speaking is no longer an option to succeed in the 21st century; it is fundamental.
Educators who I have met across the Middle East, Europe and Asia say that they are elevating the art of public speaking to a core requirement along with math and science. Chris Anderson, the curator (负责人) of TED, encourages schools in the United States to make “presentation literacy” a requirement in elementary schools. There is a wrinkle, however. According to an article in The Atlantic, some American middle-school and high-school students are advocating for the elimination (取消) of mandatory (强制的) in-class, presentations.
Their anxiety is real. Psychology professor Matthew Lieberman writes in book, “Our brains crave the positive evaluation of others almost to an embarrassing degree.” That’s why most of us get anxious about public speaking. Anxiety can turn into full-blown panic attacks or create lifelong fears.
As an author whose books are used in public speaking classes around the world, I will explain why public speaking skills are more important than ever. Persuasion — one person convincing another to change their mind — is now responsible for 25 percent of Americas total income, according to Deirdre McCloskey at the University of Illinois. The percentage will rise to 40 percent soon, she assured me. It is a terrible idea to reduce public speaking opportunities in class at a time when students need the skills it can give them to succeed. Today anyone who is better at presenting their ideas can see a sudden, massive increase in wealth that is unprecedented in human history.
In the age of ideas, public speaking is one of the greatest skills that students need in order to learn, grow, and inspire the rest of us to dream bigger. If students enjoy the process of building the necessary skill set, they will learn to love public speaking.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.Public speaking is essential in preparing for the future.
B.Students don’t have to choose the course of public speaking.
C.The ruling family plays a key role in judging the presentation.
D.College students are under pressure in preparing the introduction.
【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Simple case.
B.New idea.
C.Small problem.
D.Strong belief.
【3】Matthew Lieberman is telling us that ________.
A.we long for the positive judgment terribly
B.good public speaking skills can promote our confidence
C.we feel embarrassed when expecting positive evaluation
D.public speaking can make us feel scared rather than anxious
【4】Which of the following is the benefit of public speaking?
A.It can help persuade others to change their mind.
B.Good speakers can see huge rise in their income.
C.It will offer students skills to make a great success.
D.It encourages students to live a wealthy life in the future.
【5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.It scares students to make a speech publicly.
B.Presentations is a steppingstone for student’s future.
C.We can improve speaking skills in many effective ways.
D.Confidence in presentation increases if one is well prepared.
24、ESSEX — Sorrowful families in Vietnam are struggling to bring home the bodies of loved ones who died in a refrigerated truck while trying to illegally enter the United Kingdom on Oct 23. Many of the relatives of the 39 people who died in the freezing, airless vehicle are too poor to bring the bodies back to Vietnam.
Bui Huy Cuong, chairman of the people’s committee told the Guardian Newspaper that officials have visited bereaved (新近丧失亲人的) families to encourage them to receive ashes, instead of bodies, because it would be cheaper. But he said families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals and are hoping the authorities will pay. “At the moment, we are not sure if the British or the Vietnamese government will take responsibility for bringing victims back to Vietnam,” he said. “Families know nothing about it. It should be clear soon which government (if any) will take responsibility …how much can British and Vietnamese governments pay, and how much will Vietnamese families need to contribute.”
The brother of 26-year-old Pham Thi Tra My told the paper his family does not want ashes. Pham Manh Cuong said, “My family wishes to bring my sister’s body back home because we all agree we want to see her for the last time.” Pham Thi Tra My was the victim who came to prominence when her final text home was made public in which she said, “Sorry, Mum. My journey abroad has not succeeded. I love you so much! I’m dying because I can’t breathe.”
Nguyen Dinh Gia, the father of another victim, Nguyen Dinh Luong, from Nghe An province, said his family also wants a body. “They did not tell me how much the transport fee is, but told us it’s costly.” he said. “We are asking for help from two governments ... We’ve had to wait for many days now and are falling into depression.”
The Vietnamese government has not commented on the repatriations (调回本国). Police in the UK and in Vietnam have made several arrests in connection with the incident that claimed the lives of 31 male and 8 female victims, of whom 10 were teenagers.
【1】What does Bui Huy Cuong mainly want to express in Paragraph 2?
A.How officials care about the bereaved families.
B.Some authorities encourage families to receive ashes.
C.How money will be raised to bring the victims back to Vietnam.
D.Families want bodies so they can be honored in traditional funerals.
【2】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “prominence” in Paragraph 3?
A.Being likely to cause harm.
B.The state of being noticeable.
C.The quality of being pleasant or attractive.
D.Behavior acquired through frequent repetition.
【3】We know about Nguyen Dinh Luong from the news report?
A.His brother is Pham Manh Cuong.
B.He is from Nghe An province, Vietnam.
C.His family will fly to England to see his body.
D.His body will soon be brought back to Vietnam.
【4】What can be the best title for the news report?
A.39 People die in the freezing, airless vehicle
B.39 People try to illegally enter the United Kingdom.
C.Relatives struggling to take 39 UK truck death victims back to Vietnam.
