21、Selfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product. .
The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light. source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. Additionally, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.（发光）
When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically. If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.
One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities-hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.
You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters（滤光器）, which can change your skin tone and eliminate pimples (粉刺) on your face.
【1】To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.
A. be under the light source
B. be against the main light
C. face the main light source
D. have the photo fully exposed
【2】How can you find the angle that suits you most?
A. Study your face at different angles.
B. Hold the camera far enough from you.
C. Keep the camera lower than your face.
D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.
【3】Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?
A. The use of natural light.
B. A landmark as a background.
C. Changes of the skin tone.
D. A busy background.
22、Once you get a new smartphone, what’s the first thing you might want to go along with the device? 【1】 That’s because carrying a smartphone without a case is like driving a car without bumpers（保险杠）— and no one wants a new device to break. Spending on mobile phone protection is expected to reach $107.3 billion by 2022. Protective cases are the hottest sellers in the category. Are those expenses really necessary?
Here’s a reality check on what does and doesn’t protect your phone.
Screen protectors are a partial solution
A broken smartphone screen is always a sad sight. Makers of screen protectors, the plastic or glass films that can be applied to a smartphone display, say that their products will safeguard your screen from scratches and breaks when it falls face down. 【2】
A majority of broken smartphone screens come from impact on the corners and edges, according to a survey of smartphone owners by iFixit. When a smartphone’s corners or edges hit the ground, the impact （撞击）is in a concentrated area and more likely to cause breaks, whereas if it had fallen face down on the ground, the impact would have been spread out over the width of the screen.
Why you should buy a case
For overall device protection, a case, which covers the corners, edges and back of a smartphone, is your best bet.【3】
There are hundreds of cases available composed of different materials, including plastic and leather. The Wirecutter recommends $11 Silk cases, which are slim, inexpensive and composed of a flexible plastic that is easy to hold. A case is more important than a screen protector given the case’s reach over more parts of the phone.
【4】
Many smartphone manufacturers and sellers offer an extended warranty ( 保 修 ) that can replace or repair your phone if it is damaged. The downside is that the cost of the warranty programs — roughly $80 a year — often exceeds the cost of doing individual repairs for broken devices.
That’s where insurance comes in. Device protection plans that offer coverage for lost or stolen cellphones are insurance programs. 【5】 Though these plans are nearly double the cost of warranty programs, the compensation (赔偿金) you receive can get you a brand-new device if the unexpected happens.
A．This deserves our attention.
B．But they are not a guarantee.
C．Skip the extended warranty
D．For many people, it’s probably a case.
E．Extended warranty saves your device
F．And often they also include protection for damaged items.
G．A good case will absorb impact in those areas when your device is dropped.
23、To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular sentences are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this: “ To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).”.This saying mirrors an ideal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
【1】According to the passage, which of following seems the most human?
A. To search for truth．
B. To achieve one’s ideal
C. To criticize others for one’s own error.
D. To make fun of others’ mistakes．
【2】Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.
B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
C. A company’s next move follows a good plan．
D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments．
【3】What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?
A. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.
【4】What would be the best title for his passage?
A. To Blame or to Forgive B. A Mirror of Human Nature
C. A Mark of Maturity D. Truth or Excuse
24、 If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook，the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest.It could be hard to find hope there.It took decades for public perception of the river to shift.But activist citizens，who collaborated with industry，government，and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for.And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo’S biggest attractions.
By the 1960s，the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes.The Buffalo River had caught fire many times.The surface had an oily layer，and any fish caught there were not eatable.
The waterway’s fate started shifting in the mid-1960s.Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day，but by evening he was the kind of guy who’d chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River.By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation’s“Water Conservationist of the Year”award.And before long he got a nickname:“Mr.Buffalo River.”But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.
Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece.She picks up where he left off by directing the river’s protector organization，Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper.Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989，after organizing the first river cleanup that year.Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River’s $100 million restoration.
So far，the Buffalo River’s water quality has restored，but it is still an ongoing issue，as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms.Habitat restoration continues as well；fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it’s gone.
【1】What did the Buffalo River use to be?
A.A waterway on the yearbook. B.A river heavily polluted.
C.A great attraction of Buffalo’s. D.A place worth fighting for.
【2】Why was Mr.Spisiak named“Mr.Buffalo River”?
A.Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.
B.Because he spotted dumpers on the River.
C.Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.
D.Because the river was declared biologically dead.
【3】How long did it take for the river to restore?
A.More than half a century. B.Just four decades.
C.About 30 years. D.Only 27 years.
【4】What can be a suitable title for this text?
A.The restoration of the Buffalo River B.Stanley Spisiak:The“Mr.Buffalo River”
C.The future of the Buffalo River D.River protection:A long way to go
