21、Each time you transmit your sensitive data into a website, you could unknowingly fall for an online fraud, or criminals may hack the computer system at your bank or store.
Fortunately, MetLife Defender provides comprehensive protection against the full range of today’s online risks—beyond your personal computer or device—to keep your personal data safe.
The Good
MetLife Defender has all of the basic services and features that an identity protection plan needs. The individual plan includes:
◇Medical data protection
◇Financial data protection
◇Personal data protection, detection and removal
◇Pre-approval offer and junk mail opt-outs
◇Credit monitoring and alerts
MetLife Defender’s family plan includes some really cool and unique online child safety features. If MetLife’s system detects any cyber-bullying involving your child, it will automatically alert the parents.
The Bad
MetLife Defender doesn’t have anything that “wows” you. Everything they have in their individual plan can be found at another identity protection company. Plus, MetLife Defender has a higher monthly price than most.
The Bottom Line
MetLife Defender is an average product, but what sets them standing out is their family plan. The Online Child Safety Features is an innovative approach to protecting both their identity and themselves emotionally and physically. We wouldn’t recommend MetLife Defender solely on their identity protection, but their child features are worth testing out with their free 30-day trial.
Family Plan
Metlife’s family identity protection plan covers two adult individuals and an unlimited number of minors—children up to age 18— living in the same household as the covered adults.
Cancellation
If Metlife subscribers cancel a paid monthly subscription mid-month, Metlife services continue until the end of that month. After that, the customer will no longer be billed. If you cancel a paid annual subscription, you will receive a refund（退款）based on the number of full months for which you are no longer enrolled.

22、For young people with autism（自闭症），growing into adulthood can have its own challenges. But students at the non-profit educational program Exceptional Minds prove that autism can also mean special talents.

23、 When you are choosing a major in the future, will you place a higher value on its future career or on its personal interest to you? Zhong Fangrong, a left-behind girl from Hunan province who scored 676 points in total on this year's college entrance exam, preferred the latter as she applied to study archaeology at Peking University.
However, there was a heated debate concerning whether she had made a wise decision. Some netizens argued that she wouldn't have a promising future unless she chose a more popular major—for instance, finance, engineering, business, etc. —instead of archaeology. What's more, considering the financial burden on her family, she had better think twice before making her final decision.
The girl later responded that she had been inspired to pursue archeology by Fan Jinshi, president of Dunhuang Academy, and that she had developed a passion for history and cultural relics. She also added that she cared little about fame and fortune.
Zhong has increased my confidence because of her attitude towards life. Firstly, she knows clearly what she is really interested in and is determined to devote herself to it. Secondly, Zhong has been able to stick to her pursuit despite the criticism from society.
Zhong's pursuit reminds me of a lady who walks on a country road and lives in poetry—Li Ziqi. They both try their best to be who they want to be, which is rare and admirable nowadays.
Just ask yourself: Do you have the courage not to follow the pattern that the majority of people repeat? Actually, applying for an unpopular major may help you to avoid fierce competition. And the pursuit of a popular major is no guarantee for a brilliant future.
Following the example of Zhong, I will be more willing to follow my dreams in the years to come.
【1】What made Zhong decide to major in archaeology?
A.Her courage to take an adventure. B.Her optimistic attitude towards life.
C.Her stubborn belief in popular majors. D.Her love for history and cultural relics.
【2】Some netizens opposed Zhong's choice because they thought
A.she preferred finance to archaeology B.she wouldn't have a promising future
C.she placed value on her future career D.she cared much about fame and fortune
【3】What inspires the author to follow his or her dream in the future?
A.Li Ziqi's living in poetry. B.Netizens' heated argument.
C.Fan Jinshi's encouragement. D.Zhong's sticking to her pursuit.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.You Can Be Who You Want To Be B.Archaeology Is Becoming Popular
C.A Left-behind Girl Scored 676 Points D.A Heated Debate Arose Among Netizens
24、Of all the problems that people face today, depression proves to be one of the hardest to pinpoint. People often suffer secretly, not wanting to admit their need of professional help. They continue with their normal routines and, many times, unhealthy eating habits. Now, health professionals are actually linking diet and depression and have found success in using diet to treat the disorder.
Several researchers and Australian institutions at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia, set out to evaluate the direct link between diet and depression. They carried out the study over a 12-week period and observed 67 patients with moderate to severe depression. For their control group, the patients received social support rather than switching their eating habits to a well-balanced diet. The other patients then received dietary counseling sessions where they were advised to eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. After the trial period, over 30 percent of the patients had gone into remission with their depression. Only 8 percent of the control group actually experienced this same improvement. This trial has greatly helped researchers understand and better help patients suffering from depression.
Most Americans today do not associate their diet and depression together. Nearly 60 percent of Americans eat over processed foods. 90 percent of added sugar comes from these processed foods. For people with depression, this diet might give a short energy burst, but it will eventually cause energy to sink, bringing happy moods down with it. Many people also love caffeine, drinking multiple cups each day. Again, they consume extra sugar. However, the caffeine can also disrupt sleep and cause anxiety. In addition, people with depression may have a tendency to turn to alcohol Unfortunately, alcohol depresses the central nervous system, which will directly influence a person’s mood for the worse, especially those dealing with depression.
According to the research, diet and depression do go hand in hand. Those suffering from depression should do away with processed foods as much as possible. With a few simple changes in lifestyle, these patients can improve their mental health and return to normal activities with renewed energy and joy.
【1】What prevents patients from being identified according to the passage?
A．Their reluctance to ask for treatment.
B．Lack of professional help.
C．Unawareness of their diet problems.
D．Inadequate social support.
【2】What do we know about the study conducted at Deakin University?
A．The patients in the study came from different parts of the world.
B．Two groups were divided on the basis of their levels of depression.
C．The control group enjoyed a better improvement in their mood.
D．The study helps researchers find a better treatment for depression.
【3】How do processed foods influence those dealing with depression according to the study?
A．Chemicals in them will weaken patients’ central nervous system.
B．Added sugar from them will finally lessen patients’ happiness.
C．They can make patients more likely to be addicted to alcohol.
D．They will reduce essential mood-boosting nutrients in patients.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．What you need is just a right diet
B．What is your depression killer?
C．Is your diet making you depressed?
D．It’s time to change your life style

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.
“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
