21、If you’ve recently joined a gym, or are just looking to try a new, different form of exercise, you might consider trying a group exercise class. Classes are a great way to workout. Here are a few tips to help you relax and prepare for your first class.
Choose the right class for you. Most gyms offer a wide range of different classes and choosing one that is right for you is the first step. To begin with, you need to think about what it is that you want to achieve and work from there. 【1】 If you’re looking for a more relaxing form of exercise that will improve your flexibility, then yoga might be a good option.
Think about what you might need.【2】 Wear clothes that are comfortable and suitable for the type of exercise you’ll be doing. For example, yoga requires stretchy clothes that will allow you to move. Often classes don’t require anything out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t hurt to check.
Arrive early. Try to arrive at least 5 minutes early so you can get your bearings and think about the studio and any equipment you’ll be working with. Some classes such as weight-based classes require a lot of equipment which usually takes a few minutes to set-up.【3】 So give yourself time.
【4】 Group exercise is set up for a group of people to benefit from professional instruction not for participants to compete. While it is hard to resist trying and keeping up with the people around you, the best thing you can do is focus on your own body and what you’re feeling and able to handle. If you’re uncertain how an exercise is best carried out, ask your instructor.【5】
A．Don’t compare yourself to others.
B．Talk to the instructor before class.
C．Use the equipment to give yourself a warming-up.
D．You don’t want to be running around at the last minute.
E．Copying the person next to you might mean you’re learning incorrectly.
F．Plan for your class by thinking about what you’ll need to wear and bring with you.
G．For instance, if you’re looking to gain muscle, a weights-based class will be your best bet.
22、 Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute(上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers. However, new evidence has shown that plucking up(鼓起) the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health.
Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioral(行为的) scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation “we consistently underestimate(低估) how much a new person likes us.” It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn't want to talk with us.
Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that"every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat."From this and other research,the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our well-being.It's true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.
However, if you're an introvert(性格内向者），the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found “both extroverts(性格外向者) and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner.” So maybe, if you're a loner, it’s time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.
【1】What does the underlined word “solitude” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Being calm. B.Being pleasant. C.Being alone. D.Being healthy.
【2】Why might we not want to speak to a stranger?
A.Because we don't trust a new person.
B.Because we can't find a common topic.
C.Because we like distant social connections.
D.Because we feel the stranger may dislike us.
【3】What could help start a new friendship?
A.Making a small talk.
B.Sitting next to a stranger.
C.Sharing personal details.
D.Behaving in polite manner.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How to be an extrovert.
B.Talking to strangers.
C.How to speak to strangers.
D.Making new friends.

24、Of all the journalism specialties, science writing may well be the most challenging. Science writers cover fields undergoing some of the most rapid advances in history, from stunning advances in genetics and biotechnology to exotic discoveries in astrophysics. A science writer’s week may include coverage of new discoveries about viruses, the brain, evolution, artificial intelligence, planets around other suns, and global climate change and its environmental impact, to name only a few topics.
Writing anything that’s any good is hard work, but science writers labor tinder a particular, and rather peculiar, set of constraints. Science is new — only about 400 years old, as a going concern — and prodigious, having transformed our conception of the universe and of our place in it. But precisely because its impact has been so rapid and so monumental, science has not yet been absorbed into our common consciousness. Readers come to the printed page already knowing something about crime and punishment, love and loss, triumph and tragedy — but not, necessarily, about the roles played by theory and observation in identifying a virus or tracing the curvature of intergalactic space. Hence science writers have to keep explaining things, from the significance of scientific facts to the methods by which they are adduced, while simultaneously holding the readers’ attention and moving the story along. It’s as if business reporters had to constantly explain what is meant by “turning a profit”, or sportswriters by “scoring a touchdown”.
Unsurprisingly, we science writers are often misunderstood. People tend to assume that we write computer software manuals or those buckram-bound engineering textbooks assigned to students in technical studies. Fellow authors dismiss us as translators. Editors may think us narrow. A quarter-century ago, when I was struggling to move away from writing about politics and rock music in order to concentrate on astronomy, the editor of a major magazine pressed me to do an article, called “The Bionic Man”, on artificial body parts. When I declined, he became impatient.
“Well, what do you want to write about?” he asked, throwing up his hands, like a motorist cut off in traffic.
“Astronomy,” I replied.
“You’ve already written about astronomy!”
“Yes, but I like it. It was my original interest in life.”
“Aren’t you afraid of becoming some sort of Johnny One Note?”
“Well, not really. You know, what’s out there is something like ninety-nine, then a decimal point, then twenty-eight more nines per cent of everything. Covering nearly everything doesn’t seem all that limiting. And it leads to lots of other things.”
I’ve been on the wrong side of arguments with editors more often than it is comfortable to recall, but on this occasion I turned out to have been right. Astronomy did lead to everything else. It led me into other sciences of course — among them physics, chemistry, and biology — and also, by many winding paths, to poetry, literature, history, philosophy, art, music, and into conversation with some of the smartest and most creative people in the world.
【1】According to the writer, what is the main difficulty facing science writers?
A．Finding new science topics.
B．Meeting the reader’s expectations of science.
C．Overcoming the reader's unfamiliarity with science.
D．Keeping up with the rapid developments in science.
【2】Why did the writer refuse to write about The Bionic Man?
A．He had no expertise in the topic.
B．He was not passionate about the topic.
C．He did not realize the potential of the topic.
D．He did not want to write about the same topic again.
【3】Which of the following statements about the writer is NOT true?
A．He finds it difficult to get recognition from others as a science writer.
B．He feels quite comfortable with the previous arguments he had with editors.
C．A keen interest in astronomy contributes to his exploration of other disciplines.
D．Astronomy helps him form a connection with some great minds in the world.
【4】Which word best describes the tone of the last paragraph?
A．indifference
B．amusement
C．frustration
D．satisfaction
25、One Monday morning I came into the classroom and caught Joe ________ a picture on his math book. This was one day after I had given the class a lecture on taking care of school property.

I said, “Let me ________ what I said yesterday: these textbooks are going to be used for the next five years, and I ________ you to take good care of them.” “Sorry,” Joe murmured. “I forgot.” “I see.” I said.
When I returned to Joe’s desk again, he was erasing the drawing with his tiny, worn-out eraser. I ________ him mine and a drawing pad, and then said, “Here, this might make the job ________. And you can also use the pad whenever you have the ________ to draw.” Joe looked ________ and said, “Thanks.” I nodded and started my lesson.
