21、Productivity seems to be the holy grail(圣杯)of the working world. Imagine the perfect day—working from dusk to dawn, a productivity machine. Thankfully, a productive lifestyle isn’t all that difficult to achieve. 【1】 In line with that, here are some steps highly productive people do that you can carry out in your own life.
There’s one thing everyone must have in common - listening to our bodies. If we don’t listen to our bodies, productivity isn’t sustainable. 【2】 They notice signs such as lack of sleep and constantly feeling tired. But, most importantly, they act. During the working day, highly productive people know how their bodies work and adapt their schedules. For example, by doing small tasks first, productive people set themselves up for a successful afternoon.
【3】 Every minute is maximized to its full potential, whether it’s relaxing after work or a period of deep work. For starters, organizational tools such as Trello are popular, and with good reason. 【4】 Email marketers have more attractive tools such as Convert-Kit that automate the email sequence. Automating may sometimes be annoying to set up, but it saves so much time which better used elsewhere. When you learn to maximize your time as highly productive people do, maintaining longer periods of efficient work becomes easier.
The benefits of prioritizing downtime can not be understated. Sleep, the ultimate rest, is vital to a productive person’s weapon. For example, a study found that when you sleep for four hours or less consistently, your thinking ability declines to the equivalent of adding about eight years in age. Besides, as we know, your body needs time off from work. Think of the famous metaphor: you can’t shoot an arrow without first pulling it back. 【5】.
A．You must rest before you go again.
B．You don’t need to get anything done.
C．The tools keep your mind in check and focus high.
D．Highly productive people know when they’re burning out.
E．All highly productive people manage their time effectively.
F．However, useful tools like Convert-Kit extend beyond Trello.
G．To be a productive person, you need simple and practical steps.
22、School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immoveable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make them a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.”
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”
【1】Why is the plastic mask used according to paragraph 1?
A．To protect the brain.
B．To speed the treatment.
C．To reduce the headache.
D．To help with a health check.
【2】What can we know about the radiation treatment?
A．It can be received at home.
B．It will cause huge physical pain.
C．It may make the patients feel worried.
D．It needs to be completed in a month.
【3】What does Cook do to help the children being treated?
A．Show them their favorite movies.
B．Offer them some free masks as gifts.
C．Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D．Make the masks more interesting to kids.
【4】What does the author want to show by telling this story?
A．Love can treat the terrible sickness.
B．Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C．Health matters to everyone.
D．Creativity leads to success.
23、Arbeia Roman Fort (城堡) and Museum
Location and History
Arbeia Roman Fort is situated on Hadrian’s Wall. It was the most important structure built by the Romans in Britain, and now it has been a World Heritage (遗产) Site. Built around AD 160, Arbeia Roman Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed along Hadrian’s Wall. The fort has been gradually uncovered and some original parts have been revealed. There are reconstructions that show how Arbeia Roman Fort would have looked.
The Reconstructions
The reconstructions of the Commanding Officer’s house and soldiers’ quarters are strikingly different. The accommodation for soldiers is dark and uncomfortable, while the Commanding Officer’s house is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards with fountains for him and his family to enjoy.
The Museum
Visit the museum and see many objects that were found at Arbeia. They are historically important and show what daily life was really like at that time. You will see weapons, tools, jewellery, and so on. You can also discover how the Romans buried their dead and see tombstones (墓碑) which survive to this day. There is a “hands-on” area allowing visitors to dig on a certain site and study their findings with the help of museum staff. You can piece together pottery (陶器), or try writing just as the Romans would have done. For children, they can build this ancient Roman fort with building blocks by themselves.

24、For centuries, generations of clothing designers and garment makers in China have been devoted to building the “Garment Kingdom”, making the garments an important component of Chinese culture.
♦Origin of Chinese clothing
In primitive society, the Chinese lived in caves. To keep warm, they covered themselves with natural materials like leaves, grasses and animal furs.
About 18,000 years ago, the Chinese invented sewing. Animal skins were cut to fit the human body using sharpened stone and bone tools and then sewn together using bone needles. 【1】.
♦ 【2】
Chinese rules of etiquette regarding garments and ornaments started taking shape in the Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Period, the idea of fashion reached new heights. Qin Shihuang established many social systems, including that of uniforms to distinguish people’s ranks and social positions. In the Tang dynasty, clothing was more varied than before because the state was more open to the outside world. 【3】 They were allowed to expose their arms and back and wear dresses that absorbed elements from other cultures. They could wear men’s riding garments if they liked. Casual wear appeared during the Song Dynasty and during the Yuan Dynasty, the simple and unadorned style of clothing was mainly a combination of Mongolian and Han influences. Dramatic changes took place during the Ming Dynasty. There was no limitation to one style and natural beauty was advocated, 【4】. However, during the Qing Dynasty, clothes became elegant and poised (威严的).
【5】. There appeared the qipao, Chinese tunic suit, student uniform, Lenin — style suit, Russian dress, miniskirt, punk (怪异服装) and T-shirt.
Today, some people in China follow world fashion, but individuality has become the main trend. More and more people can enjoy beautiful fashions with traditional features and the modern chic.
A．it influenced people’s lives.
B．Development of clothing.
C．Chinese garments of the 20th century ranged greatly in style.
D．thus bringing vigor (活力) and life force to clothing culture.
E．The invention of sewing allowed the early Chinese to make better fitting clothes to protect them from harsh conditions.
F．What is worth special mention is that women of the Tang dynasty did not have to abide by the traditional dress code.
G．Fashion designers today are finding new ways to combine modern fashion trends with traditional Chinese symbols of good fortune.
