21、In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.
What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.

22、 As the coronavirus disease (冠状病毒) takes hold and causes lockdowns (禁闭) in major urban centers, researchers studying air pollution data are recording significant improvements in air quality levels. The change is so huge that some believe these short-term reductions could end up saving many more lives than those who are lost to the virus itself.
'These are quite great times, ' Francois Gemenne, director of The Hugo Observatory, an environmental research center, said during an appearance on France 24's The Debate. 'What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution. '
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 91% of the world's population live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits. Globally, this results in nearly 4.2 million deaths annually, according to 2016 statistics.
Recent data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have shown marked reduction over Italy in the amount of nitrogen dioxide (二氧化氮), a gas produced from road traffic and other processes, during the country’s nationwide lockdown.
'Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident about the improvement of air quality because of less traffic and industrial activities, ' said Josef Aschbacher, esa's Director of Earth Observation Programmes.
People living in Venice have noticed how much clearer the water has become now that the city is in lockdown. Fishes have been seen in the canals, which is unusual for waters normally full of mud caused by so much can canal traffic, reports CNN. In some cities, animals are cautiously exploring new areas, especially in urban areas.

【2】What do the data in paragraph 3 mainly indicate?
A.There is little air pollution in the world.
B.Air pollution is very severe globally.
C.Most people will die from air pollution.

【3】What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A.Traffic jam will not be seen from now on.
B.We have solved the problem of water pollution.
C.The environment has improved due to the lockdown.
D.Staying at home is the only way to beat the coronavirus.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?

23、Most people do not have the patience to wait a few seconds for the elevator doors to shut, so they push the “close” button to speed up the process. However, some say this feature has been obsolete since the 1990s, suggesting the button is a complete fake; it will not close the doors any faster.
Experts reveal that there're many buttons in the world that do not live up to their name, but are present to make us feel in control.
The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990, saying that elevators must stay open long enough for someone with a physical disability, such as in a wheelchair, to make it inside. Karen W. Penafiel, executive director of National Elevator Industry Inc., told The New York Times in an interview. “Although these buttons are useless to the average person, they do perform their proper function for firefighters and maintenance workers but only with a code or keys.” Penafiel explains that a majority do not have a functioning “close” button but the “open” button works when it is pushed.
As strange as it seems to place fake buttons in an elevator or other devices (设备), they are there for good reasons. “Perceived (自认为的) control is very important,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. “It reduces stress and promotes well-being.”
And those people who know the little white lie will still continue to push these buttons because the doors finally close and that is the desired reward, he said.
However, elevators aren't the only fake devices — crosswalk signals in New York City are also on the list. The New York Times revealed in 2004 that the Big Apple pulled the plug (插头) on a majority of its crosswalk buttons long ago, as a result of computer-controlled traffic signals. City figures state that out of the 3,250 crosswalk buttons, 2,500 of them didn't function. The reason the buttons are still in place is because it costs about $1 million to remove them.
But New York City isn't alone in this letdown, as a survey in 2010 found only one working crosswalk button in Austin, Texas, Gainesville, Florida and Syracuse, New York.
【1】What do we know about the elevator “open” buttons?
A. They are functional.
B. They work with keys.
C. They're intended for the disabled.
D. They're useless to the average person.
【2】Crosswalk signals were mentioned to tell us _____.
A. many people don't follow traffic rules
B. the traffic in New York is terrible
C. they're not necessary nowadays
D. there're other fake devices
【3】Why do the non-functioning crosswalk buttons still exist in the New York City?
A. It's expensive to take them away.
B. The cost of the plug repairs is huge.
C. They make passers-by feel in control.
D. They give people a feeling of a caring city.
24、Girls can easily get sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do? Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, donˈt be sad for yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down?
A hug can make a difference. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.
