21、 It goes through the laundry with your clothes. It gets hidden in mattresses （床垫）and buried like pirates' gold. It is sometimes torn. burned and defaced. Yet it remains as valuable after all this damage.
It's money…US currency in the form of printed dollar bills. As you might expect, when millions of printed pieces of paper are distributed among millions of people, a lot of it gets damaged. Normal wear and tear claims most of it, but some bills really get damaged by chance.
The US Department of Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D. C. replaces badly damaged currency as a public service. Around 30,000 customers submit an average of 530 million every year for replacement with fresh, new money. We're not only talking about bills that have been torn in half or defaced with mustaches added to the presidents' faces. We're talking about serious damage!
The bureau has dealt with the ashes of bundles of bills that were hidden in a mattress that caught fire when its owner tried smoking in bed. In another instance, a farmer sent in the stomach of a cow that had consumed hundreds of dollars in cash.
Money has been burned in a wood-burning stove. It has turned rotten while buried underground. It has been damaged by water, chemicals, and explosives. Currency has been damaged by insects. As long as examiners can piece together at least 51% of a bill, it can still be traded for its full face value in new cash.
“Even if it's just white ash, ” says Gracie Scruggs, a supervisor at the bureau, "you can still see the scrollwork （漩涡形装饰）on the paper. US currency is made out of paper that is never destroyed; I don't care what you do to it?'
In fact quite a lot of money is destroyed every day by the federal government, not only the badly damaged currency, but also the faded, dirty and torn dollar bills that are just too worn-out to remain in use. The 12 Federal Reserve Banks get rid of the old currency. Bills that are unacceptable due to printing errors are also destroyed. Just how much currency does the government destroy? A stack of one year's worth of destroyed one-dollar bills alone would be a pile 200 miles high!
【1】 is a way NOT listed in the passage to cause damage to bills.
A.Swallowing by a cow
B.Using by quite a lot of people
C.Burning in an wood-burning oven
D.Chewing by a dog
【2】The underlined phrase “piece together" in paragraph 5 means .
A.separate into smaller parts
B.fasten it to the bill
C.put several parts together
D.print the paper money
【3】How do the 12 Federal Reserve Banks to deal with the damaged bills?
A.It is not mentioned in the passage
B.By burying them underground
C.By burning them in a stove
D.By using them to make new bills.
【4】It is true that .
A.bills are made of something that cannot be destroyed.
B.damaged bills arc mostly produced by chance.
C.not many people deal with their damaged notes by replacing them,
D.bills destroyed one year would be a pile of 200 miles high.
22、A Simple Trick to Resist Junk Food
You’re tired and hungry. Then you catch something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. It is fried chicken! 【1】 A new research says that being exposed to the smell of junk food for at least two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your nose’s attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you’re standing in line after a couple of minutes? 【2】 And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smell leads to lower purchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell. 【3】 That is why long exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth.
【4】 When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food is not connected with reward in our brain and therefore has little influence on what we desire.
So next time you’re feeling you don’t have the willpower to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. 【5】
A．But wait a minute before you order.
B．It’s a response that has been researched.
C．Get the satisfaction with none of the junk food.
D．It isn’t quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E．However, it’s not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F．The brain doesn’t necessarily tell apart a pleasurable smell or taste.
G．It’s the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
23、The evidence shows that being lonely is bad for your physical and mental health. But with support from groups and specialists--- and even the Internet ---you needn't deal with it on your own.
Recognize the impact of loneliness
It is clear that loneliness has become such a pressing public health concern. 【1】 It is also associated with increased risk of heart disease, stroke and blood pressure, as well as dementia (痴呆).
Work out exactly why you are lonely
The Mental Health Charity Mind mentions two main factors that can cause loneliness: someone either not having enough basic social contact or, despite being surrounded by people, not feeling understood, listened to or cared for. 【2】 It could give you a better idea of how to work through your feelings of loneliness.
【3】
Talking to friends and family is an obvious and easy path to handling loneliness, but if you feel you lack it, joining a club or socializing through hobbies or interests is a good way to meet new people and increase social interactions.
Get online
Spending time online obviously cannot replace all your real-life interactions, but it can help. The NHS recommends time online to older people experiencing loneliness. This might not be the glorious panacea（灵丹妙药） it immediately seems, however, more than one study has found a link between loneliness and time spent online.【4】
Increase meaningful social contact
It's all very well joining Twitter or volunteering at your local charity shop.【5】 One study in 2011 found that elderly people who spent time with family were less lonely than those attending social groups with strangers. It is the perfect excuse to call your mum.
A．Meet new people
B．Speak to someone
C．And learning to change your thinking matters.
D．So it is important to add online chats to meetups.
E．It suggests figuring out which factor fits you best.
F．Loneliness can be as damaging as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
G．But some research suggests that who you spend your time with matters, too.
24、Chinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into campsites for moms and dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say goodbye.
For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in what it calls "tents of love". Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums.
"Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn’t want to miss that," said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from Jiangxi Province in southern China.
Images of school gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a debate on whether China’s only children are too coddled.
Some have voiced criticism of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children should be more independent.
Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute，thinks the problem is overstated. "It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said. "For some families, it’s their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who’s able to go to college," Xiong added. "There’s nothing wrong with sharing the happiness."
Zhang’s father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym.
"My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go traveling," said his father Zhang Yonghui. "The hotels nearby are fully booked so I have to sleep in the tents."
Their son also shrugged off the criticism although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for the first time. "Being accompanied by my parents doesn’t mean I’m spoiled."
【1】Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because _____.
A. they wanted to help him with his luggage
B. they wanted to go to travel in Tianjin
C. they doubted his independence
D. they wanted to witness his important life moment
【2】Xiong Bingqi thinks going to college with parents’ company ______.
A. is a chance for freshmen to travel with their parents
B. is not such a serious problem as people think
C. is a long-lasting problem to be solved
D. is not good for the freshmen to build up their independence
【3】The underlined phrase “shrugged off” probably means_________.
A. was in favor of B. was ashamed of
C. thought nothing of D. was concerned about
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. “Tents of love” is widely criticized.
B. Chinese only children are too spoiled.
C. Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge.
D. There are different opinions on “tents of love”.
