21、 Facebook is a place where we share and celebrate memories with our friends and family. We post words and pictures honoring birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. We also show respect to the people we lost, and find sympathy and support among our friends.
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, recently shared a moving post about her late husband, Dave Goldberg, on what would have been his 48th birthday.
“Today my family and friends and I mourn that he was taken away from us so suddenly and so young,” wrote Sandberg, 46, tagging Goldberg’s memorial page. “It has been a long 22 weeks, grappling moment to moment and day to day with the often overwhelming void (空虚) that his death has left in our lives.”
She shared photos of Goldberg—one from their wedding and the other of what appears to be him as a child. The Facebook manager went on to thank her family and friends for their ongoing support, and to praise her husband’s achievements as a father and CEO of the company Survey Monkey.
Sandberg said in a Facebook post back in June, in ceremony of the end of the first month for her husband’s death, “I was talking to a friend Phil about a father-child activity that Dave is not here to do. We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave. I cried to him, ‘ But I want Dave. He put his arm around me and said, ‘Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of option B.”

22、Building Your Children’s Social Skills
Parents should help build their children’s social skills, which will affect their relationships now and in the future. To start with, tell them that learning social skills is as important as mastering a language or riding a bicycle.
1. Set an example
【1】 The way you interact with others teaches your child how to act. For example, if you want help, you should say, “Excuse me, would you mind helping me...?”
2. Encourage sharing and taking turns
The foundation to almost all pre-school relationships is sharing and taking turns.【2】Children who experience problems relating to other children often have not learned to share or take turns. However, if parents encourage their children to share toys and other things with other children, they will get along well with them, not just now but all their lives.
3. Practice social skills
Practice social skills with your child through interaction.【3】For instance, not interrupting people when they are talking is a way of behaving that children should learn from early on.
4. Give them opportunities to play
【4】For instance, take your child to a play group which includes other children of his or her age. As your child grows older, resist the temptation to butt in (介入); in other words, let your child form peer relationships by himself or herself.
5. 【5】
Guide your child how to deal with an issue as a response to problems with social skills. When your child reports a problem with another child to you, ask questions about possible reasons for the other child’s behavior. By understanding why a peer acts in a certain way, your child can come up with ways to respond.
A．Teach problem solving
B．Communicate with others
C．Model the ways you want to see your child behaving.
D．Encourage your child to share and take turns whenever possible.
E．This is the best way to let a child know what your expectations are.
F．Provide a reward by playing a game when your child behaves well.
G．Provide chances for your child to play with other children from an early age.
23、Do plants listen to music? How can a plant possibly respond to music? Well, plants breathe through their many mouths, which are also known as stomata and it has been discovered that plant stomata respond to music!
A few years ago, scientists at the University of California, San Diego discovered what controls a plant’s stomata.The two cells that form the stoma consist of specialized cells adjusted to the resonant(共鸣的)frequency of calcium(钙). When exposed to this frequency the stomata close. However, if the frequency isn’t exactly right the cells will open again within an hour.This happens even if the concentration of calcium is high enough that the stomata would normally close.
When specific music or bird songs cause the plant to vibrate(颤动), but not at the exact frequency for calcium resonance, the stomata will open after a misjudgment of time, even though the plant would keep them closed under normal circumstances.
Testing has shown that a leaf fertilizer(肥料)applied to the plant will have more effect on the development and growth of the plant if its stomata are wide open. This is quite logical, because plants absorb the leaf fertilizer through their stomata.Combinations of frequency and leaf fertilizer are available for many different crops. However, if the stomata are forced to remain open, the plant won’t be able to control the amount of water lost and so it risks dehydration(脱水). As a result, exposing plants to music for over 3 hours a day could endanger their health.There could also be bad effects on plants if the volume or frequency is too high.
It isn’t exactly clear how music influences the development and growth of plants, but more and more is being discovered about resonance physics and we’re closer than ever to solid scientific proof and theories in this area. Maybe, in twenty years’ time people will laugh if you say plants don’t have ears!
【1】Why does the author ask the questions in Paragraph 1?
A．To express his doubts.
B．To present different ideas.
C．To describe the lifestyle of plants.
D．To introduce points for discussion.
【2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The reopening of the cells.
B．The change in frequency.
C．The frequency of calcium.
D．The closing of the stomata.
【3】It call be inferred from the text that .
A．future plants are likely to have ears
B．how music affects plant growth is widely known
C．growers must be careful when exposing plants to music
D．the stomata don’t affect the effect of leaf fertilizer on plants
【4】Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Benefits of Music to Plants
B．Influence of Music on Plants
C．How to Improve Plant Growth?
D．How Do Plants Listen Without Ears?
24、We’ve noticed our kids out on some extra weight during this pandemic（疫情）. Here are what doctors and specialists say about what to do to get the family back on track.
【1】
In the mess of the pandemic, sleep and wakeup times slid later and later for lots of kids, says Dr. Nazrat Mirza, medical director of the pediatric（小儿科） weight management clinic in Washington, D.C. Research has linked regular, adequate sleep to improved mental and physical health in kids. If sleep routines have become a problem in your family, try to move kids’ bedtimes back by 15 minutes every two or three nights. 【2】
Create more structure around meal times.
【3】 It was also the case with some trained experts. “It was sort of this buffet-style experience where they were eating throughout the day,” says Stacey Rosenfeld, a specialist in eating disorders, whose kid ended up gaining 20 pounds. 【4】 While putting kids on a restricted diet can lead to unintended consequences, creating and sticking to set meal and snack times can help kids control their appetites and develop sensible eating habits, experts say.
Have sympathy for yourself, and model it for your kids.
We’ve all been through an incredibly stressful and tiring year and a half, and it’s not over. And some families have been especially hard hit by this pandemic. “We have to show ourselves a little pity and it’s not going to happen with a snap of the fingers,” says Hassink. 【5】 Even if your kids didn’t gain weight, teach them not to tease others. Eventually, “we want to be building our kids up. We want to be focusing on who they are outside of their bodies,” says Rosenfeld.
A．Get bedtimes back on track.
B．Do the same thing with wake-up times, she says.
C．Have sympathy for your kids and your life will be easy.
D．As things calmed down, she decided it was time for a reset.
E．Bedtimes play a vital role in improving the quality of sleep.
F．That sympathy is something we should also foster in our children.
G．All-day-long, unmonitored eating became a habit in many families of the pandemic.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton's poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian's slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team, they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.
