21、The short film Piper, released by Pixar in 2016, won the 89th Academy Award for Best Animated Short film. Piper was written and directed by Alan Barillaro, previously working in the animation department. It’s a wonder that he had the fortune to win Oscar for his first film.
The short film follows a baby bird named Piper, as she learns and overcomes her fears of finding food at the seafront. Piper is encouraged to peck（啄）at the sand beach but gets wet through with water from a wave. Discouraged by the terrible wave, she hopes to get food from her mother but fails. After gathering up the courage again, she meets a hermit crab（寄居蟹）who shows her not to be scared of the ocean but to embrace it. Finally, she discovers the secret of the ocean and feeds herself even her family. It’s a story about facing challenges and not being discouraged by failure. Like Piper, we can always find solutions and come out stronger than ever before.
Somehow Pixar manages to fit all of these into a five-minute-long short film, without using any spoken language and entirely by animation. Movements and personified facial expressions are what drive this story in this film. Much like the nature documentary, the continuous pulling of the shallow focus adds the sense of realism. The clean and clear animation allows for even the slightest micro-expressions to be picked up by the audience. And the music is consistent with Piper’s emotions, making the audience feel the same way.
This film and lots of others by Pixar make us laugh and cry all the time. By fitting a simple story with simple characters, we are led through challenges to a satisfying conclusion for our characters. It’s one of the best short films in a long time.
【1】What is the storyline of the short film?
A．A mother instructs her child to find food.
B．A bird overcomes fears and grows independent。
C．A bird family tries to adapt to life at the seafront.
D．A sand beach offers food to the birds living nearby.
【2】What techniques are used in the short film?
A．Animation and music.
B．Sound and virtual scenes.
C．Movements and speeches.
D．Clear pictures and vivid lines.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the short film?
A．Indifferent.
B．Critical.
C．Favorable.
D．Negative.
【4】What is this text?
A．A documentary.
B．A review.
C．A story.
D．An essay.

Depression Discussions
Alison Malmon was a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania when she got a call from her mother that would change her life: Her fun, outgoing older brother, Brian, had killed himself.
When Malmon returned to school after Brian's funeral (葬礼) that spring of 2000, she was still extremely sad. But when she looked for help on campus, there was no place to turn. “Back then, students weren't encouraged to talk about their mental health. I started reflecting on the fact that there was an enormous need to get that conversation going,” says Malmon.
She was only 19 and had no experience with mental health issues, but that didn’t stop her from launching Open Minds at Penn. Now, 20 years later and with a new name Active Minds, it is the largest young adult mental health advocacy organization in America, with more than 550 chapters at high schools and colleges. “What I'm most inspired by is that my generation and the generations coming behind me are taking on mental health as a social justice issue,” says Malmon. “Our tools are changing not only their campuses, but also their families.”
The mental health statistics on college campuses are alarming. The American College Health Association's 2019 National College Health Assessment found that 45% of students reported feeling so depressed in the previous 12 months that it was difficult to function; 66% felt great anxiety; and 13% seriously considered taking their own life. So Active Minds' peer-to-peer education techniques are more important than ever.
“I wanted to educate students about the issues, about the signs and symptoms (症状), and about where—on campus and off campus and online—they can get help for free. Active Minds chapters empower young adults to speak openly about mental health so that everybody who needs help gets it as early as possible. We can't make it uncomfortable for students to come forward with their stories,” she says. “Because that's how we're going to have more students graduate and go on to become productive members of society, and not feel so ashamed like my brother did.
【1】In the spring of 2000, Alison Malmon's older brother Brian ______.
A．attended a funeral
B．took his own life
C．returned to school
D．sought help from Open Minds
【2】Why did Alison Malmon set up Active Minds?
A．To make big profits.
B．To help depressed young adults.
C．To get a good reputation.
D．To help graduates build skills for jobs.
【3】What can we learn from Alison Malmon's story?
A．Great minds think alike.
B．Think twice before acting.
C．Positive actions make huge differences.
D．Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
23、Selfie
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie. But not everyone is familiar with the term, so here’s a brief definition. 【1】 Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Some selfies are extreme close-ups, other show part of an arm held straight outward and a few of the great ones even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror so that they can get a full body shot of their reflection. 【2】 Since social media is the driving force of most selfie activity, younger kids interested in staying connected to their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. are more active in sharing selfies on a regular basis.
Who knows what kind of psychological factors drive any specific person to take a selfies and upload it to a social networking site. 【3】
Here's one. Not only are young people plugged into the web at all times, but they also have more self-esteem issues—and many of these teens or college kids might upload selfies to deal with their own self-consciousness. 【4】 When you feel good or look good about yourself, it's far too easy to reach for you phone and document it all through one or several selfies. Kids who are connected on a social network to someone they admire may be more driven to upload attractive selfies as a way to seek attention, especially if they're too shy to do it in person.
Besides, there are people who are bored at work, bored at school, etc. So they will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. 【5】 They just do it because they like to do it, it's fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.
A．Some people don't need a real reason to do it.
B．There's so much more meaning behind why we do it.
C．It's about getting attention from as many people as possible.
D．There are lots of selfie styles, and these are some of the most common.
E．Selfie is a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social network website.
F．What's more, it's human nature to want to show off your own great achievement.
G．Everyone's own situation is different, but here are some of the most common theories.
24、“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a “globalpositioning” something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive…and the contract (合同) lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use.”
Affordable plans that I can understand—and no contract to sign! Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The USbased customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.
Call now and receive a FREE gift when you order. Try Jitterbug for 30 days and if you don't love it, just return it! Why wait, the Jitterbug comes ready to use right out of the box.

25、 Scientists in Norway have more good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink — or the beans can help with weight loss, _______one's risk of developing some diseases, _______ muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce one's risk of _______ death.

The tasks were known to _______pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists, and the researchers wanted to _________ how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test "to avoid _______effects of caffeine deprivation, e.g. decreased vigor and alertness, sleepiness, and fatigue," they reported.
But when it came time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway's National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a lower _______ of pain than the 29 people who didn't. In the shoulders and neck, _______, the average pain intensity was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee's apparent pain-reduction effect ________.
However, the authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal BMC Research Notes, cautioned that since the study wasn't designed to test coffee's influence on pain, the results came with many ________. For starters, the researchers don't know how much coffee the coffee drinkers consumed before taking the computer tests. ________they doubt whether the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were ________in all respects except for their coffee consumption.
