21、Many animals depend upon sound to find food. detect enemies and communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Some deal with by singing more loudly, some change the timing of their calls to occur when fewer people are driving, others just move to quieter places.

All of these actions come with significant costs attached and scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however. that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran. has showed that plants suffer too.

That plants can be hampered indirectly by noise pollution has never been in doubt. Since most flowering species depend upon pollinators(传粉者) and most fruit-bearing species need animals to spread their seeds. it is obvious that if these animal partners are harmed by noise then their botanical counterparts will do badly, too. What has remained unknown is whether or not plants themselves suffer directly from noise pollution.

Sounds are pressure waves transmitted through gases, liquids and solids. Scientists have previously assumed that plants may be able to sense these waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years—plants bombed with ultrasound (超声波) in the lab have shown a range of bad responses including the expression of stress-related genes, slow growth and reduced production of seeds.

Yet bombing plants with ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end. Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi decided to set u an experiment to study precisely this question.

【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To draw readers’ interest.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To state sound’s effect on animals.

D．To stress the damage of noise.

【2】What does the underlined word “hampered” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Attracted.

B．Frightened.

C．Harmed.

D．Killed.

【3】What is still unknown to scientists?

A．That noise isn’t a problem unique to animals.

B．How some animals respond to noise.

C．That most plants depend on animals to spread seeds.

D．Whether plants suffer directly from noise pollution.

【4】What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?

A．The experiment about the influence of traffic noise on plants.

B．Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s achievements on plants study.

C．Differences between ultrasound and traffic noise.

D．Ways to solve the problems of traffic noise.

22、Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience—but it's not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”

If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts o£ life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.

This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52- year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn't let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don't go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.

Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.

【1】What may Dr Joel Minden agree about anxiety?

A．It goes hand in hand with joy.

B．It should be seriously taken.

C．It is easily-earned experience.

D．It is often improperly treated.

【2】What can explain the underlined word “banish” in Paragraph 2?

A．Ignore.

B．Hide.

C．Recognize.

D．Control.

【3】Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3?

A．To explain a strategy.

B．To describe a phenomenon.

C．To present a successful case.

D．To introduce a public figure.

【4】What is advised to deal with anxiety in the last part?

A．Concentrating on the process.

B．Making lifestyle adjustments.

C．Avoiding exposure to pressure.

D．Learning to get things in place.
