21、 Disease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent (防护剂) ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic (合成的) repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.
In my lab at Iowa State University, my team and I have been conducting research on natural products as possible insect repellents for the past 20 years. In the past few years, three of my Ph. D. students have contributed greatly to our research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing more than 300 closely related chemicals coming from the best of natural repellents like citronellol, menthol and thymol.
These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, houses, barracks and horse barns. The other group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.
The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable (可生物降解的), with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.

22、Do you want to raise mentally strong kids? Stop doing the following things.
Ignoring Your Child’s Feelings
You’re implying that your children's feelings are wrong, when you say “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal.” 【1】 And the key to living their best, life is about managing emotions. A healthier message is to say “I know you feel scared right now, but I also know you’re strong enough to face your fears.”
【2】
It’s easy to give in when your children are losing their tempers. But each time you give them what they want, you teach your children that their unacceptable acts are an effective way to get their needs met. If you want to, raise mentally strong kids, stick to your limits.
Spoiling Your Children
【3】 But there’s a lot of research that shows just how unhealthy over protection is for kids. If they always get everything they want, they miss out on learning valuable life skills like self-discipline. 【4】. Let them know what it’s like to experience disappointment, and teach them how to work for things they want to have.
Expecting Perfection
While high expectations are good for kids, setting the bar too high is likely to backfire. Whether you expect too much from your child on the sports field, or your academic expectations are unreasonable, kids who feel they can’t succeed are likely to stop trying. 【5】.
A．Giving in to misbehavior
B．Keeping to your principles
C．Set limits on what you give your children
D．Teach them not to give up dreams easily
E．Kids need to have a wide variety of emotions
F．You may think its cute to spend more money on your children
G．They are also more likely to struggle with self- respect issues
23、 In Japan, where career opportunities for women are few, where divorce can mean a life of hardship, and where most female names are still formed using a word for child, a woman’s independence has always come at a steep price.
Notions of women’s liberation have never taken root among Japanese women. But with inadequate open conflict, the push for separate burials is quietly becoming one of the country’s fastest growing social trends. In a recent survey by the TBS television network, 20 percent of the women who responded said they hoped to be buried separately from their husbands.
The funerary revolt comes as women here annoy at Japan’s slow pace in providing greater equality between the sexes. The law, for example, still makes it almost impossible for a woman to use her maiden name after marriage. Meanwhile, divorce rates are low by Western standards, because achieving financial independence or even obtaining a credit card in one’s own name is an insurmountable obstacle for many divorced women. Until recently, society enforced restrictions on women even in death. Under Japan’s complex burial customs, divorced or unmarried women were traditionally unwelcome in most graveyards, where plots (小块土地) are still passed down through the husband’s family and descendants must provide maintenance for burial sites or lose them.
“The woman who wanted to be buried alone couldn’t find a graveyard until about 10 years ago,” said Haruyo Inoue, a sociologist of death and burial at Japan University. She said that graveyards which did not require descendants to maintain, in order to accommodate women, began appearing in around 1990. Today, she said that there are close to 400 of these cemeteries in Japan. That is just one sign of stirring among Japanese women, who are also pressing for the first time to change the law to be able to use their maiden names after marriage.
Although credit goes beyond any individual, many women cite Junko Mastubara, a popular writer on women’s issues, with igniting the trend to separate sex burials. Starting three years ago, Ms. Matsubara has built an association of nearly 600 women — some divorced, some unhappily married, and some determinedly single — who plan to share a common plot curbed out of an ordinary cemetery in the western suburb of Chofu.
【1】What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A．How to change Japan’s complex burial customs.
B．Japanese women’s efforts to win sex equality.
C．Social and governmental obligation in eliminating sex inequality.
D．How Japanese laws prevent Japanese women from being buried alone.
【2】From the fact that divorce can mean a life of hardship for Japanese women, we can infer that ________.
A．many Japanese women have a low social status
B．it’s an out-dated custom for Japanese women to be housewives
C．many Japanese women have a bad relationship with their husbands
D．many Japanese women live together with their husbands in perfect harmony
【3】Which of the following statements about the funeral revolt in Japan is NOT true?
A．More and more Japanese women prefer to be buried separately from their husbands.
B．Japan’s complex burial customs make it more difficult for Japanese women to be buried separately.
C．More and more Japanese women resort to divorce to win the victory of funeral revolt.
D．It comes as the result of Japanese women’s dissatisfaction with Japan’s slow pace in providing greater sex equality.
【4】The meaning of the word “ignite” in the last paragraph is ________.
A．to initiate
B．to reverse
C．to suggest
D．to strengthen
24、 In an effort to inform our citizens to clear the street snow, the city adopts a snow removal plan.

25、 Compared with Mother’s Day, Father’s Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar.
