21、A primary school principal in north China has become the latest internet celebrity for busting some cool moves during a morning exercise routine with his students.
Every morning, 40-year-old principal Zhang Pengfei at the Xi Guan Primary School in Linyi county, Shanxi province would lead about 700 pupils on the playground in a “ghost shuffle”routine --- a dance that incorporates（吸收；包含） contemporary jazz steps with heel, toe and arm movements. The bold headmaster thought the fun and energetic exercise routine would better encourage students to get active instead of “being glued to their mobile phones”.
The school's new 30-minute dance routine has replaced the government-imposed broadcast callisthenics（健身操） programme , a short workout that has been a requirement at every primary, middle and secondary school in China since 1951. “I thought we needed a change because the students have been losing interest in doing the broadcast callisthenics routine,” Zhang told Southern Metropolis News.
The dedicated principal said he came across a group of people doing the “ghost shuffle” routine at a public plaza last summer and decided to learn the dance himself. “I thought the dance would be great for kids, ” he said. “The music is full of energy and it really gets the happy feeling of flowing.” In October, he introduced the choreographed（编舞）routine to all of his students and shortly after, even teachers and staff were joining in. “Now the students aren't constantly on their phones. I sometimes catch them watching different dance routine videos and learning new moves!” the proud headmaster told reporters.
The video quickly went around on Chinese social media, with a Weibo topic page titled “principal leads students in ghost dance routine” gathering 250 million views. “This is perhaps the best adaption of sport and entertainment for children,” a comment on Weibo read.
【1】Which of the following can we know from the passage?
A．Zhang Pengfei is a primary school principal in south China.
B．Xi Guan Primary school's new 30-minute dance routine is both fun and energetic.

22、Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.
But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.
Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.
According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."
【1】 This passage is mainly about ________.
A. different kinds of tipping in different countries
B. the relationship between tipping and custom
C. the origin and present meaning of tipping
D. most American people hate tipping
【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?
A. become popular. B. been hated.
C. been stopped. D. been permitted
【3】Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?
A. A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.
B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.
C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.
D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.
【4】We can infer from this passage that ________.
A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves
B. tipping is especially popular in New York
C. tipping in America can make service better now
D. tipping has something to do with people's character
23、Do today's kids make terrible entry-level workers? We've all heard the stories: assistants who won't assist, new workers who can't set an alarm, employees who can't grasp institutional hierarchies (等级). It's easy to laugh off these short, funny stories, but there are some complex reasons for the lack of familiarity with work standards. Many 20-something adults have never held a mental summer job, once considered training wheels for adult life in the American middle class.
It was once common to see teenagers mowing lawns, waiting tables, digging ditches and bagging groceries for modest cages in the long summer months. Summer employment was a social equalizer, allowing both rich and financially strapped teenagers to gain a foot hold on adult hood, learning the virtues of hard work, respect and teamwork in a relatively low-risk atmosphere. But youth employment has declined sharply over the years, and young people are losing a chance to develop these important life skills in the process.
In 2020, less than half of the nation's youths (ages 16 to 24) were employed during the month of July, traditionally the peak of summer employment, the lowest percentage since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started collecting data in 1948 and almost 20 points lower than the peak in 1989. There's little indication of that number improving. Teenagers and 20-somethings are the least skilled and least important members of the workforce, so it's not surprising that they would be edged out in a depression by more reliable full-time workers such as senior citizens, immigrants and other adults who need those jobs.
But other long-term factors are at play. Life is more competitive than ever before, and kids–or perhaps their parents—worry about wasting time on jobs that won't yield career benefits. On Harvard's campus, students feel crushing pressure to build their resumed the instant they arrive, giving up unskilled summer jobs for unpaid internships with nonprofit organizations, political campaigns and research labs. Others spend the summer studying foreign languages.
The same pattern is found at the secondary-school level, where then employment has been on a downward trend since 2000. Tougher graduation standards have created a threefold increase in summer-school attendance over the past 20 years. High schools also now routinely require public service— surely a good thing—that can further limit the available hours to work for pay.
Many of these social changes are a sign of a healthy, and upwardly mobile, society. But there's a problem when more than 50% of the nation's young workforce has never held a basic, paying job. We maybe postponing their entry into adult hood. One paradox (悖论) of contemporary life is that the lengthening of adolescence has not better prepared young people for what comes next. This generation's 20- year-olds lack some of the soft skills that are necessary to move up the professional ladder: perseverance, humility, flexibility and commitment.
In the end, though, it's their elders who are responsible. If we want a more respectful and industrious workforce, we need to do a better job creating one.
【1】Those “short, funny stories” in the first paragraph reflect that those entry-level workers ______
A．are terrible kids who have never worked before
B．are not very familiar with work standards
C．have never been trained for their adult life
D．are from the American middle class, doing mental jobs
【2】What can teenagers learn from mental summer jobs according to the author?
A．How to mow lawns, wait tables, dig ditches and bag groceries.
B．Rich and financially strapped teenagers being socially equal.
C．The virtue of hard work, respect and teamwork
D．How to earn and spend money widely in a low-risk atmosphere
【3】Nowadays, the students in universities and secondary schools tend to _____
A．
B．spend less time on jobs that don't bring practical benefits
C．deal with crushing pressure by doing unpaid internships
D．attend summer schools to study foreign languages
E．replace summer jobs for pay with voluntary public service
【4】The author will probably NOT agree that
A．the young people today lack some important life skills
B．young people should be well prepared for their adult hood
C．doing summer jobs can prepare young people for their future
D．young people themselves are to blame for their lack of soft skills
