21、It was around the 4th grade when I started noticing that I didn’t fit in that well with a lot of kids in my grade. While the other girls were starting to wear make-up, style their hair, and only wear fashionable clothing, I stayed the same. At first I didn’t care, but then I started to feel a little worried. I was afraid that the other girls wouldn’t like me. I wanted to be like them, but I really hated that.
After I entered the 5th grade my mom found a local vocal studio. I had always loved to sing, and taking lessons seemed like fun. I was thrown into a brilliant world of music. Something inside me just clicked, and I had finally found where I belonged. Music gave me a place of my own in the world.
Starting voice lessons was the first of many times that music has changed my life. In the 7th grade, I really didn’t fit in at middle school. Being an athlete is what made you popular, and I was not super athletic. Music saved me again. Every day I knew I could come home from school and sing. I would become someone else. I would let the music fill my body and shine its light in the darkest corners. The light gave me strength. I became friends with other people who were into music. Music also gave me courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Life without music would be a mistake.” This is true for me. Without music, my life would be a mistake. Maybe I would have found another hobby, but I doubt that it would help and change me the way music did. I know that music had changed my life.

22、In the nearly two centuries since German physician Carl Wunderlich established 98.6℉ as the standard“normal” body temperature, it has been used by parents and doctors alike as the measure by which fevers and often the severity of illness have been assessed.
In more recent years, however, lower body temperatures have been widely reported in healthy adults. A 2019study showed that the normal body temperature in Americans is about 97.5℉. A multinational team led by Michael Gurven and Thomas Kraft have found a similar decrease among the Tsimane, a native population in the Bolivian Amazon.
A key question, then, is why body temperatures have declined over time both for Americans and Tsimane. Extensive data available from the team’s long-term research in Bolivia addresses some possibilities.
Declines might be due to the rise of modern healthcare and lower rates of lingering mild infections now as compared to the past. But while health has generally improved over the past two decades, infections are still widespread in rural Bolivia. Therefore the results suggest that reduced infection alone can’t explain the observed body temperature declines.
It could be that people are in better condition, so their bodies might be working less to fight infection. Or greater access to antibiotics(抗生素) and other treatments means the duration of infection is shorter now than in the past.
Another possibility is that our bodies don’t have to work as hard to regulate(调节) internal temperature because of air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. While Tsimane body temperatures do change with time of year and weather patterns, the Tsimane still do not use any advanced technology for helping to regulate their body temperature. They do, however, have more access to clothes and blankets.
The researchers were initially surprised to find no single “magic bullet” that could explain the decline in body temperature. It’s likely a combination of factors—all pointing to improved conditions.
【1】What role has 98.6℉ been playing?
A．It can show an illness is incurable.
B．It can help doctors determine a fever.
C．It can arouse people’s attention to health.
D．It can indicate an abnormal body temperature.
【2】Why rural Bolivia is mentioned in the text?
A．To arouse readers’ sympathy.
B．To imply other existing factors.
C．To call for improved medical access.
D．To discuss methods to reduce infections.
【3】What contributes to the decline in body temperature?
A．The growing adaptability.
B．The international policies.
C．The improved conditions.
D．The worsening environment.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Modern life improves the general health.
B．Living conditions greatly affect mankind.
C．The normal body temperature is declining.
D．Various factors influence the body temperature.
23、When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What's the best way to know it?
You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the part of speech ( 词性), the Chinese meaning and also how to use the word.

24、Scientists believe they have found help for older people suffering from poor eyesight. The solution is shining a special red light in the eyes for three minutes. Staring at a deep red light for three minutes a day can greatly improve falling eyesight, finds a new University London-led (or UCL-led) study, the first of its kind in humans. They believe the discovery could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies (疗法), helping millions of people globally with naturally falling eyesight.
Doctors say a three-minute daily dose of the special red light for two weeks could help improve age-related vision problems. However, they say not any red light will help improve eyesight. The co-author of a study into the effects of red light and vision in older people explained why. Professor Glen Jeffery said: “I strongly suggest that people do not just go and buy a red light off the web. They have to produce the right wavelength (波长) and be reliable. We are looking for a business partner to do this and to price them at under around $20 to $25.”
The study was carried out by a team from University College London. Researchers conducted tests on 24 men and women aged between 28 and 72. They said some cells that help us process light had worsened in the older people.
Doctors say their red light improved the ability of these people to detect different colors, particularly blue. The vision of these older people improved by as much as 22 percent. Doctor Jeffrey said: “Populations are ageing rapidly and this is going to be a major issue in the future. We need to gear up (为……做准备) for this.” He added: “If you can’t see clearly you can’t read or watch TV. You also tend to fall down and break bones. Our lights are a step in this direction.”
【1】What could help older people suffering from poor eyesight?
A．using flashlight in dark place.
B．a new brochure for shining their eyes.
C．one medicine for curing poor eyesight.
D．shining red light in their eyes for several minutes.
【2】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A．Where to buy red light.
B．The price of red light.
C．Any red light can help older people.
D．Older people should carefully choose red light.
【3】What details can we get from this passage?
A．Researchers conducted tests on age 18-73.
B．Aged people tend to be weak in sight.
C．Red light can not improve detecting colors .
D．Population will be a big challenge .
【4】What is Jeffrey’s conclusion?
A．Buy red light on the web.
B．You can read by red light.
C．Red light may help older people.
D．Older people will see clearly.
25、 The true purpose of a business, Peter Drucker said, is to create and keep customers. "Customer value" has several definitions. I use the ______ to mean the total lifetime value of a company's customer base. Companies can increase this value by ______ more customers, earning more business from existing ones, keeping them longer, making their experience simpler through digital improvements and so on. Visionary leaders have long understood the importance of ______ on customer value rather than pursuing short-term profits or quarterly earnings, and they've become enduring customer loyalty leaders in the process. It's worth noting that a number of loyalty-leading companies are able to ______ shareholder pressure, or avoid it altogether.
Companies can ______ customer value in a variety of ways: To increase ______, software companies sometimes charge corporate customers change fees that can raise the total cost of ownership to as much as three times the original price. To reduce operating costs, restaurant chains sometimes ______ frozen and precooked ingredients in place of fresh and made-to-order food. The resulting profits may look good on the income statement. Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth. But they also ______ potential customers and encourage disloyalty.
Given the importance of customer value, leaders should track it as much as they track other key assets, such as buildings, machinery, and marketable securities. They also should reveal it in their quarterly and annual earnings reports so that investors can make ______ judgments about company performance and how it compares with that of industry peers. But most companies ______ believe that measuring customer value is too difficult or costly. They continue to rely on a centuries-old accounting tradition that emphasizes physical and financial assets, and neither income statements nor balance sheets offer much ______ into the value of a company's customers.
As investors wake up to the importance of customer value, however, many growth-stage companies now direct investors' attention to ______ in growing the value of their customer base. Some public companies increasingly report various types of customer value metrics. One of the UK's top energy suppliers E.ON, ______, reports year-over-year customer counts in its financial report. "As a customer-focused company," E.ON noted, "we see customer value as crucial to our success."
This is a start, but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements, investors still have a(n) ______ picture. The minority of companies that do provide customer value information decide for themselves what to disclose. ______, firms may calculate customer metrics differently or change them to tell a desired story, or simply stop reporting them if they fail to go with the company's preferred narrative.
