21、How to Look Good in Photos
Anyone can look good in pictures by figuring out how best to pose in front of the camera. Even if you feel like you aren’t photogenic, learning some simple tricks can make a huge difference. Here are five ways to make your look more attractive in photos. Once you get these methods down, you’ll be ready to strike a pose at any moment!
【1】 . A fake smile can make you look bad in a photo. It looks forced and doesn’t meet your eyes. When you take a photo, you need to give your best, most natural smile so you look your best.
Tilt your head. When you look at the camera, don’t look straight at the camera. 【2】. Then, tilt your head up or down slightly.
Position your body correctly. Instead of having straight, limp arms and stiff legs, try bending them to give them life. Bend your arms and hold them slightly away from your body. This also helps create shape to your midsection (腰腹) instead of bulk. 【3】.
Take a lot of photos. One of the best ways to get the best picture is to take more than one! Even models go through numerous frames to get that one perfect picture. 【4】, the better likelihood you will get a great photo.
Feel confident. Make sure you feel proud of who you are. 【5】. Focus on that instead of any faults you think you have. Being happy and giving a genuine smile in the photo can make a world of difference.
A．Keep smiling
B．The taller you are
C．Have a natural smile
D．The more pictures you take
E．Look slightly above or slightly below
F．You are unique and have great features
G．Keep your hands relaxed and slightly bent
22、 Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says," Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are."
The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.
Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.
Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.
They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.
As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.
【1】What do ants and bees have in common?
A. They live in similar-sized colonies.
B. They make use of collective intelligence.
C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.
D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.
【2】What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?
A. The quality of a new colony location.
B. The distance to a neighboring colony.
C. The discovery of a new food source.
D. The direction to a potential food source.
【3】In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?
A. By using statistics.
B. By explaining reasons.
C. By referencing opinions.
D. By presenting study findings.
【4】What is the benefit of collective intelligence?
A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.
B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.
C. It reduces the division of labour among members.
D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.
23、The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. 【1】
Culture shapes our identity and influences our behaviors, and cultural diversity makes us accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from our own. 【2】 Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn more about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about the culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable websites. 【3】 One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
【4】 It’s the same for children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If children are not aware of diversity, then they become close-minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. 【5】
In today’s world, if we are able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier for us.
A．Understanding diversity is important for adults.
B．Here are some ways to fight against cultural prejudices.
C．The best way to learn, though, is through face-to-face interaction.
D．That’s why more of us feel as if we are living in a multicultural age.
E．Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.
F．Help them be more open-minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
G．In many multicultural communities, the best representation of diversity can be found in schools.
24、 Not enough American students want to be engineers, mathematicians, or scientists. The federal government wants to change that. They are spending money to do it. The government will invest three billion dollars in the education of young Americans in science, technology, engineering and math. The four areas together are kown as STEM. Many jobs in the STEM fields will open in the coming years. The U.S. government’s investment aims to increase the number of Americans who can take those jobs. Yet girls appear far less interested in STEM subjects than boys. Only 25 percent of STEM students are girls. Debbie Sterling is an engineer. She invented a construction toy for girls. The name of the toy is "Goldie Blox." Ms. Sterling hopes Goldie Blox will help girls develop skills in space and shapes, which help engineers and builders to think about objects in three dimensions.
To interest girls, Sterling created the character "Goldie." Goldie does not care about beauty or clothes. Goldie tells stories, solves difficult problems and creates imaginary worlds.
Mia is a seven-year-old girl who likes science. In her room, she has no fashion dolls. Instead, she has a pegboard, wheels, blocks and an inventor’s journal to write her observations. Mia received a set of Goldie Blox from her grandmother. She learned to make machine with the blocks.
"When my grandmother first sent me the present, a spinning machine, I was really excited. I knew it had to do with engineering, so I grabbed the box and opened it. Then I went for more——I went to the website; I went on YouTube to find more videos. My mom asked me why I was just watching videos instead of building. I told her I didn’t have enough pieces. She got me the builder survival kit."
Experts say parents should do more than just buy toys to interest their girls in STEM subjects. They should also provide a good education. At school, girls should participate in projects that require teamwork and creative thinking.
Women in scientific and technical jobs are also working to encourage young women to explore STEM. One is Anu Tewary. She studied Applied Physics and worked for technology companies. After she had a daughter, she started Technovati Challenge. The challenge is an international competition for young women from 10 to 18 years old.
There is a good chance that soon, more young women using mobile phones will also be developing programs for them.
【1】We can learn about STEM that________.
A．The U.S government will invest in STEM education.
B．The market of STEM will be highly competitive.
C．Girls like STEM better than boys.
D．Stem stands for science, technology, economy, and math.
【2】Why does Mia like Goldie blox?
A．Because Goldie cares about beauty.
B．Because her grandmother first sent her the present.
C．Because Mia likes engineering.
D．Because there are videos to watch.
【3】What should be done to help girls to be more interested in STEM?
A．Parents should buy more gifts for them.
B．Schools should be encouraged to set up courses about teamwork and creative thinking.
C．Women in STEM jobs should encourage them to join.
D．More mobile phone program should be developed for them.
