21、In winter, many of us are reaching for more clothes and turning on the heat. Besides wearing a pair of long johns, increasing our food intake can help protect us against severe cold. So what food keeps us warm?
Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, is great when you find yourself in cold conditions because it is a fantastic source of iron, which is crucial for circulating your blood. Iron is an important mineral to help carry oxygen throughout your body. People with low iron may notice cold hands and feet or easily become tired. Eating red meat can also supply vitamin B12, which contributes to healthy nerves and a strong me system.
Oats can keep you warm in winter. It’s great thermogenic(生热的)food and is filled with nutrients that release energy slowly throughout the day to keep your body warm. You can start your day with a hot breakfast of oats or other types of porridge. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. In addition to keeping you full and warm, oats are full of other nutrients.
Hot ginger tea can make you feel warm inside on a cold day. Ginger is known to be good for health. It’s also a diaphoretic(发汗药), which means it will help your body warm from the inside. Ginger has the nature to produce heat and help blood circulation in our bodies, making it a great source of warmth.
Root vegetables like sweet potatoes need more energy to move through the digestion process which raises your body temperature. High in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium(钾) sweet potatoes add fiber and other nutrients to a warm winter meal. Sweet potatoes also have beta—carotene(β胡萝卜素) that is good for eye heath.

22、Going to college can be exciting, but it’s also nerve wracking. College will require you to excel in a new environment. 【1】 Fortunately, you can prepare for this stage of your life by following these tips.
Get some reading out of the way. 【2】 You’ll have to devote time and effort to earning good grades so that you can eventually graduate and land a satisfactory job. If you want to make this process faster and easier when you start college, start by reading different materials weeks or even months before the start of your college life.
【3】 If you want to prepare for college, it’s important to look back at your performance during high school and work on your academic weak points. Taking this step before your college begins will increase your chances of being an excellent college student. Depending on the subject you struggle with, you can pay for tutorial services or make use of free learning materials online.
Get organized. With the number of things on your plate when you start your journey in college, organization is key. 【4】 If being organized is still new to you, start by using a centralized calendar (日历). This calendar should contain the schedule of your classes or quizzes. Your social responsibilities — attending family gatherings and meeting with friends — should also be included to avoid any time conflicts in the future.

23、 In the future, chances are we don’t need to depend on human donations for life-saving skin grafts (移植).
That’s the goal of Xeno Therapeutics, a biotech non-profit organization. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the group’s initial application for temporary skin grafts removed from genetically modified (基因改良) pigs. This means that they can start testing pig skin grafts on people who have experienced severe burns.
Skin, the body’s largest organ, plays an important role in blocking pathogens (病原体) from reaching our organs inside. It also helps the body keep a constant temperature. People with severe skin damage are at a high risk of developing deadly infections as a result of changes in temperature.
At the moment, the only skin grafts available in the US come from the dead people who have agreed to be organ donors, or patients who have gone through surgery to remove skin after large weight loss. These human skins used for grafts are not easy to find.
Xeno Therapeutics, which gets its name from animal-to-human transplants, has raised pigs that have skin remarkably similar to our own. Grafts from these pigs are therefore more likely to hide without being detected by the host's immune system — at least temporarily. The idea is that they could be used for immediate burn treatment, followed human skin graft treatment later.
“I’d say that just like comparing a Coke with Pepsi, it would be hard to tell which was the human skin and which was the pig graft,” said Xeno Therapeutics CEO Paul Holzer.
The non-profit organization has been working to conduct the clinical trials, which will only be testing the grafts’ safety and tolerability in six patients with severe burns. Assuming the results are positive after a month, the grafts will need to pass through two more stages of testing before they can be approved for widespread clinical use.
Several other groups around the world are working to make animal organs suitable for clinical medicine. In Brazil, researchers are exploring using tilapia skin as temporary bandages for burn victims whose skin is regrowing.
【1】What’s the aim of Xeno Therapeutics?
A．To make profit from the grafts.
B．To modify pigs genetically.
C．To apply pig skin on human patients.
D．To test people with severe burns.
【2】Why is skin important to human beings?
A．It keeps one’s temperature changing.
B．It helps us recover from deadly diseases.
C．It prevents itself from being damaged.
D．It acts as a protective layer for our body.
【3】What is Paul Holzer’s attitude towards the pig skin grafts?
A．Doubtful.
B．Worried.
C．Confident.
D．Ambiguous.
【4】What can we know about the grafts?
A．They won’t be put to use until they pass tests.
B．Brazilian doctors have also applied pig skin for grafts.
C．Animal skin has been used on six patients safely.
D．Only skin removed from pigs can be used for grafts.
24、ISM is a large company in St. Louis, Missouri, but the top leaders are not satisfied with the performance of its staff. One day not too long ago the employees returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said:【1】We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.【3】There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.
You are the only person who can revolutionize your life.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Why you’re more creative in coffee shops
Some of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Bob Dylan – whether they’re painters, writers or singer-songwriters, people across nations and centuries have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café.
There are many ways coffee shops activate our creativity in a way offices and homes don’t. Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But a 2012 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that a low-to-moderate level of relaxing noise on all sides in a place like a cafeteria can actually increase your creative output. The idea is that if you’re very slightly distracted from the task at hand by background noise, it enhances your abstract thinking ability, which can lead to more creative idea generation.
Another study from 2019 had similar findings, that is, the right amount of noise benefits our senses. And audio stimuli in the background also help us improve decision making.
There’s also the fact that in a coffee shop, we’re surrounded by people who’ve come to do the same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. A 2016 study backed up this idea when researchers asked participants sitting next to each other in front of a computer to do a task on the same screen. The study showed that “simply performing a task next to a person who makes a lot of effort in a task will make you do the same”. One of the biggest things about coffee shops is the social-facilitation effect: you go there, you see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well.
