21、   Celebrated each September 19, International Talk Like A Pirate Day (ITLAPD) may sound a bit like a joke. And, well, that’s because it partly is. Started by a group of people just wanting to have a laugh, it’s a holiday that exists for the purpose of having fun by going around yelling “drink up me hearties” and “curse ye, ye landlubber.” But what’s the real deal behind talking like a pirate?

Like any great holiday, ITLAPD has a strange story. This one doesn’t go back to the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th century, but instead to the year of 1995. Friends John and Mark were playing racquetball on a summer day and decided to start yelling things at each other using “pirate slang.” This was your usual “avast” and “ahoy” and, of course, “arrrr!”. John and Mark had so much fun and they decided to make it an informal holiday among themselves and the people they knew. Mark chose September 19 because it was his ex-wife’s birthday (yeah, it’s strange).

In any case, for the first few years, nothing much came of it. Then, in 2002, John and Mark decided to expand the holiday by reaching out to humorist Dave Barry, whose column was issued around the country. Barry wrote about the holiday and became the spokesperson, and it launched the entirely unknown celebration into a larger world. The timing of the holiday’s announcement may have contributed to its popularity. Just one year later, the first Pirates of the Caribbean film was released, which launched pirates back into the cultural conversation. Pirates also became a massive symbol of early internet culture. If you’re “pirating” something today, it more often refers to downloading something illegally than attacking someone else’s ship.

【1】Why did people start the International Talk Like A Pirate Day?

A．To have fun.

B．To act as pirates.

C．To laugh at people around.

D．To play jokes on each other.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．The pirate slang.

B．The history of the piracy.

C．The fun of playing racquetball.

D．The origin history of ITLAPD.

【3】What can we learn about ITLAPD?

A．It hit the world immediately.

B．It was launched officially in 2002.

C．Pirates of the Caribbean helped spread it.

D．It is a symbol of illegal internet culture.

【4】In which column of a website may this text appear?

A．Science.

B．Culture.

C．Sport.

D．Advertisement.

22、   SAN FRANCISCO — A dog that survived the catastrophic wildfire in Northern California apparently protected the ruins of his home for almost a month until his owner returned.

Madison was there waiting when Andrea Gaylord was allowed back to check on her burned property in Paradise this week. Gaylord fled when the Nov. 8 fire broke out and destroyed the town of 27 ,000. Shayla Sullivan, an animal rescuer, who responded to Gaylord’s request to check on Madison first spotted the male Anatolian shepherd mix several days later.

Shayla Sullivan said the outdoor guard dog was mentally upset and kept his distance. Sullivan left food and water for him regularly until Gaylord got back on Wednesday. She also helped locate Madison’s brother Miguel, another Anatolian shepherd mix that was taken to a shelter 85 miles (135 kilometers) away after the wildfire.

“If the evacuees (疏散人员) can’t be there, I’m going to be there and I’m not going to give up on their animal until they can get back in,” Sullivan said.

The dogs reunited Friday when Gaylord came back to the property with Miguel and brought Madison his favorite treat: a box of Wheat Thin crackers.

Gaylord told news station ABC10 she couldn’t ask for a better animal. “Imagine the loyalty of hanging on in the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” she said. “Their job is to watch the sheep and we’re part of them.” Gaylord said about her dogs. “It’s a comforting feeling.”

23、Researchers from Singapore said in their new study that in older adults, doing housework was tied to a better memory and attention span, and stronger legs, which helps prevent falls. Shiou-Liang Wee, a researcher said, “Housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults and represents a significant share of their self-reported physical activity.”   

For the study, Wee’s team investigated nearly 500 healthy Singaporeans between 21 and 90 years of age. Among younger participants, 36% said they engaged in enough physical activity to meet the goal researchers set as beneficial, as did 48% of older participants. But 61% of younger and 66% of older participants met this target only through housework, the study revealed.

After taking other types of regular physical activity into consideration, the researchers found that housework was tied with sharper mental abilities and better physical capacity, but only among the older participants. Scores on tests of mental ability were as much as 8% higher among those who did lots of housework, compared with those who did little, Lee’s team found.

And among older participants, balance and the time it took to stand up from sitting, which the investigators used as an indication of physical ability, were better for those who did lots of housework than for those who didn’t.

Dr. Maria Carney, chief of geriatric (老年病的) medicine at Northwell Health, N.Y., noted that exercise benefits your brain, and housework is exercise that also involves mental activity and requires detailed thought processes to complete. Physical activity increases blood circulation to your muscles and your brain, which helps mental function. Housework can be an important part of your exercise routine. Carney said, “It’s a task you’ve got to plan for. You’ve got to use devices; you’ve got to use equipment. There’s planning involved, so there’s mental exercise along with physical exercise.”

【1】According to Paragraph 1, what do we know about the study?

A．Older adults benefit from doing housework.

B．Older adults doing housework do not fall.

C．Doing housework is a rising trend in Singapore.

D．Doing housework is older adults’ favorite exercise.

【2】Which of the following was considered in the study by the researchers?

A．Participants’ ages, sexes and occupations.

B．Goals of physical ability participants set.

C．Ways in which participants do housework.

D．Types of physical activity participants do.

【3】What are the research findings based on?

A．Research data.

B．Scientific theory.

C．Related documents.

D．Daily observation.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Why tools are used in doing housework.

B．How housework works for mental ability.

C．What physical activities should be done.

D．Who are more suitable to do housework.
