21、Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.
“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents…It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”
The experience made Veal realize the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store(旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.
Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.
What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”
【1】According to the text, what changed Veal’s life?

C．Have made people think deeply.
D．Have spread quickly and widely.
【3】How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does?
A．It’s not easy.
B．It’s not enough.
C．It’s his duty.
D．It’s just a hobby.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Returning Lost Memories

22、Would you pay nearly $2,000 (about 13,340 yuan) for shoes that look as if they came from a landfill? Well, Balenciaga believes consumers will pay that. The company recently began selling a new line of “destroyed” sneakers.
According to the brand, the shoes were designed in an effort to promote sustainable fashion. It stated that the destroyed appearance means the shoes can “be worn for a lifetime”.
However, many claim that the brand has gone too far. One main criticism is that these shoes mimic clothes worn by people who are suffering from poverty and homelessness. It is seen as insensitive (冷漠的) to put such an expensive price tag on an item that many homeless and poor people might be seen wearing.
“Poverty isn’t an aesthetic (美感), nor is it something to take style inspiration from. Glamorizing destroyed shoes to fit a fashionable agenda indicates privilege and ignorance,” noted Input Magazine.
This is not the first time brands have evoked anger with their designs.
Back in spring 2021, US art collective MSCHF and music artist Lil Nas X designed what was known as the “Satan Shoes” using Nike Air Max 97s. The designers changed the shoes to include an inverted cross and a pentagram (五角星形), which are signs of Satanism (恶魔崇拜). They even placed real human blood from members of the art collective into sections of the shoe. They said it was a sacrifice for art. But it outraged many religious and conservative groups.
In the same year, Chinese brand JNBY also landed in hot water. Some of its children’s clothes had patterns with a demon-like creature and texts such as “Welcome to hell”. Though the company said the designs were due to “freedom of imagination”, many customers thought these designs were harmful for children, as they included “violent and problematic content”.
To make products stand out, fashion designers should be creative. But they must be sure not to take their creativity too far. After all, artistic expression doesn’t always win and brands must ultimately answer to their consumers.
【1】What’s the features of the newly-released shoes ?
A．Not much expensive.
B．Nice and expensive.
C．expensive but ragged.
D．ragged and cheap.
【2】What’s Balenciaga’s attitude to the sneakers ?
A．Negative
B．Indifferent
C．Positive
D．Cautious
【3】What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．To praise the brand has run too fast.
B．To show many people are poor.
C．To connect poverty with wealth.
D．To criticize designers’ ignorance.
【4】How many times have brands evoked anger according to the passage?
A．Two.
B．Three.
C．Four.
D．Five.
23、Reykjavik, Iceland
Although Iceland’s capital city is one of Europe’s coldest spots, it has plenty of natural hot springs to warm up in and some of the best can be found in the Nauthólsvík area of the city. The annual Winter Lights Festival, which takes place in February, is a spectacular celebration.
Visitors can try their hand at a range of winter sports or skate on the city’s Tjornin pond. Many cozy coffee houses sell rúgbraue — locally made, dark, sweet bread.
“An unmissable experience during winter is a dip in one of the city’s many outdoor geothermal (地热的) swimming pools,” says Eliza Reid, who co-founded icelandwritersretreat. com with Erica Green. “There is no experience quite like being in these naturally warm waters with snowflakes tickling your nose. Each swimming pool has its own character, and everyone has their favorite.”
Where to sleep: Owned by Icelandair, Hotel Marina is a colorful hotel located in one of the city's trendiest districts.
Hotel Marina, Myrargata 2, Reykjavík; +354 560 8000.
Where to eat: Dill Restaurant in the Nordic House cultural center. Chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason is enthusiastic about local produce and the food here is some of the freshest in Iceland.
Dill Restaurant, Sturlugotu 5, Reykjavík; +354 552 1522.
What to do: Harpa, the city's concert hall, was designed by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson to reflect Iceland’s geology. It’s constructed from more than a thousand glass blocks.
Harpa, Austurbakki 2, Reykjavík, +354 428 5000; daily, 8 a.m. -midnight.

24、Growing your own garden--whether it’s indoors, in your backyard, at the schoolyard or part of a plan in a community--can do more than provide tasty produce and beautiful flowers.
If you’re feeling a little blue, grasp your shovel (铁锹) and head to the garden. 【1】 It decrease depression, anxiety and anger and increases happiness. Gardening can also fight stress better than other relaxing leisure activities like reading.
Gardening burns calories, which is good for your waistline. Both men and women who garden are less likely to be overweight than their non-gardening neighbors and friends. In fact, gardening burns about 300 calories an hour. 【2】.
When surrounded by plants, we tend to be more productive and creative. This is a great reason to add plants to your classroom or office. 【3】 Daily gardening lowers the risk of dementia (痴呆) by 36 percent, even when a range of other health factors are taken into account.
【4】. Adults who grow their own produce consume more fruits and veggies. Even kids, who tend to be our pickiest eaters, eat more greens when a garden is projected in their school, community or after-school setting. Not only is homegrown produce tastier than store-bought produce, it's healthier too.
So, join the people who garden. 【5】 Even if you have very little space or experience, you can start out with just a few houseplants or garden in containers. So instead of a Netflix binge this weekend, try getting down and dirty in your backyard. Grab some gloves, a shovel and dig in.
A．And it’s easier than you think.
B．However, necessary skills are very important.
C．Doing so might even have long-term benefits.
D．Gardening has a wide range of mood benefits.
E．Gardening allows easy access to fresh produce.
F．When everything gets ready, it’s your time to have a try.
G．In comparison, fast walking burns upwards of 230 calories an hour.
