26、Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recently declared children’s mental health is a national crisis.
In December 2021, Dr. Murthy issued a report to highlight the additional pressures the economic depression had put on the country’s youth, and the urgent need to address this. The impact of this crisis is far-reaching, and new research shows that it’s affecting parents’ well-being, plus their ability to succeed at work and provide for their families.
“On Our Sleeves, a national movement that aims to break shame around children’s mental health, surveyed more than 3,000 working parents across the US and found that 8 in 10 parents have been very concerned about their child’s mental health and development or behavior in the past two years. Children’s mental health concerns have been hiding in plain sight for many years, surrounded by confusion and shame,” says Marti Bledsoe Post, the director of On Our Sleeves.
The survey found that 53% of working parents have missed work at least once per month to deal with their children’s mental health. And 71% of parents said issues with their child’s mental or emotional well-being made the stresses of work much more difficult to cope with.
“Employers need to know that many of their employees are struggling and it is impinging their work as a result,” says Marti. “Our mission with On Our Sleeves is to provide every family in America access to free, evidence-based educational resources. We see this study as incredibly important in starting the conversation and providing solutions for working families.”
As Marti points out, for some parents, taking a child to weekly therapy (心理治疗) appointments and attending meetings at school consume a lot of time. These parents should be helped.
【1】What do parents care about most at present?

【2】What does paragraph 4 show about kids’ mental health?

D.It impacts on their parents’ work.
【3】What does the underlined word “impinging” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Selecting.
B.Judging.
C.Affecting.
D.Doubting.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.Most children’s mental health is good.
B.The economy has few effects on the youth.
C.Parents’ health can affect kids, mental health.
D.It’s urgent to solve kids’ mental problems.
27、If electric bikes haven't caught your attention yet, here's one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based company, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.
These aren't normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn't give them away, the specs(规格)will: Okapi's bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren't crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate(合乎要求)for an ordinary bike. The company's selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That's in line with other e-bikes' pricing, but Okapi's bikes look more attractive than the others, which try to look like normal bicycles.
The bikes full suspension(减震), hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi's design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps(碰撞)than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models The main downside to Okapi's design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.
Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi's product charges a high price The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989. 98. The good news is that Okapi's bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.
Though they're not the most mainstream product there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you' re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.
【1】What do we know about Okapi's new bike?

29、 Frederic Mishkin who's been a professor at Columbia Business School for almost 30 years is good at solving problems and expressing ideas. Whether he's standing in front of a lecture hall or engaged in a casual conversation his hands are always waving and pointing.When he was in graduate school one of his professors was so annoyed by this constant gesturing that he made the young economist sit on his hands whenever he visited the professor's office.
It turns out however that Mishkin's professor had it exactly wrong. Gesture doesn't prevent but promotes clear thought and speech.Research demonstrates that the movements we make with our hands when we talk form a kind of second language adding information that's absent from our words. It's learning's secret code: Gesture reveals what we know. It reveals what we don't know. What's more the agreement(or lack of agreement)between what our voices say and how our hands move offers a clue to our readiness to learn.
Many of the studies establishing the importance of gesture to learning have been conducted by Susan Goldin Meadow a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. "We change our minds by moving our hands " writes Goldin Meadow in a review of this work. Particularly significant are what she calls "mismatches" between oral expression and physical gestures. A student might say that a heavier ball falls faster than a light one for example but make a gesture indicating that they fall at the same rate which is correct. Such differences indicate that we're moving from one level of understanding to anotherThe thoughts expressed by hand motions are often our newest and most advanced ideas about the problem we're working on; we can't yet absorb these concepts into language but we can capture them in movement.
Goldin Meadow's more recent work strews not only that gesture shows our readiness to learn but that it actually helps to bring learning about.It does so in two ways. First it elicits (引出)helpful behavior from others around us. Goldin Meadow has found that adults respond to children's speech-gesture mismatches by adjusting their way of instruction. Parents and teachers apparently receive the signal that children are ready to learn and they act on it by offering a greater variety of problem-solving techniques. The act of gesturing itself also seems to quicken learning bringing new knowledge into consciousness and aiding the understanding of new concepts. A 2007 study by Susan Wagner Cook an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Iowa reported that third-graders who were asked to gesture while learning algebra( 代数)were nearly three times more likely to remember what they'd learned than classmates who did not gesture.
【1】According to Paragraph 1 Frederic Mishkin was asked to sit on his hands because________.
A.he could express his ideas that way
B.he always pointed his finger at his professor
C.his professor did not like his gesturing
D.his gestures prevented his professor from thinking
【2】How is gesturing important in acquiring knowledge?
A.It draws helpful responses from others and increases learning speed.
B.It promotes second language learning and quickens thinking.
C.It provides significant clues for solving academic problems.
D.It reduces students' reliance on teachers' instruction.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage about gesture-speech mismatches?
A.They can stimulate our creativity.
B.Instructors should make full use of them.
C.Teachers can hardly explain new concepts without them.
D.They serve as a stepping stone to solving real life problems.
【4】What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Hand Motions a Second Language
B.Gesturing:Signal of Understanding
C.New Uses of Gesturing
D.The Secret Code of Learning
