21、It is said that many brain training products is able to keep us mentally fit. Some products even claim that brain training can prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age. Many such products are only money-making rubbish. Also, there is no scientific proof that games or other brain exercises can have this effect. That is what the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) pointed out.
As we get older, our thinking gets slower and it is harder for us to learn new things. Many people try to stay mentally fit by, for example, learning a new language or doing crossword puzzles. Computer games that aim to keep the brain active are also becoming increasingly popular. “Doing exercises like trying to find symbols on a computer screen as fast as possible can actually improve your reaction time,” explains Professor Peter Sawicki, the Institute’s Director. “But scientific studies have shown that brain training only leads to an improvement in one aspect that it is aimed at. So if you learn to find symbols quickly, it does not mean that you will be able to improve your memory.”
Research has not shown that brain training can keep up or enhance (加强) people’s overall (全面的) mental abilities as commonly thought. “So there is no need to feel bad if you do not enjoy brain training: there are no health reasons for doing it,” says Sawicki. “But if you think brain training exercises are interesting, you can try out different things. For example, completing the order of letters can improve your logic skills. And practicing word association techniques can help you to remember things better. You can do all of these things at home on your own.”
【1】What can we learn about the brain training products according to the passage?
A．They are expensive.
B．They are effective.
C．They are harmful to the brain.
D．They are unreliable
【2】According to Peter Sawicki, brain training exercises can________.
A．only improve a certain ability of people
B．help all people improve their memory
C．keep the brain active for a longer time
D．only improve your reaction time
【3】The last paragraph shows that brain training exercises should be done_______.
A．when you can’t learn new things
B．in a relaxing way
C．under strict instructions
D．when your thinking gets much slower
【4】On the whole, researchers think that brain training exercises_______.
A．aren’t as effective as commonly thought
B．are just designed for young people to have fun
C．may benefit people in some indirect ways
D．shouldn’t be encouraged
22、 Most of the females think that they understand their male mate very well when in fact it is not. He is just speaking with you and you are happy.

It_is_very_difficult_to_interpret_male_body_language_sometimes.

23、 Last year in Arizona，19 firefighters died in an unpredictably fast wildfire. It was the highest firefighter deaths for a single fire since 1933.The same year，Sierra Nevada saw its largest fire ever，which destroyed 402 square miles，and Colorado suffered its most destructive wildfire in state history-nearly 500 homes were destroyed.
Why do there seem to be more fires in more places in recent years？The simple answer is us. First，until the 1980s，we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems，so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression（抑制）. By preventing fires，though，they let underbrush build up in forests，fueling bigger fires later on. Then，the increasing average temperatures are responsible for drier，longer，and more extreme fire seasons. Finally，our cities are spreading into fire-prone（易于着火的）areas.
To avoid greater losses，experts first need to fully understand wildfires. Starting this year，a team of engineers，including the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）and the U.S. Forest Service，has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions. They are also testing new building materials that can withstand wildfire conditions and make for safer homes.
We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts. Scientists at NIST recently developed a hazard scale（危险等级）for marking areas most at risk of wildfires. It would predict the severity and destructiveness of a fire in a particular area. It could also inform building criteria for new construction in fire zones-and insurance costs. You pay insurance for deciding to live in the path of quakes and hurricanes，after all，so why not fires？
The method is tried and true. When general warnings won't do the job，why not use the market to discourage people from doing stupid things like building in fire zones? Without a hazard scale in place, we' re just moving into areas that are more and more likely to bum.
【1】Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 1?
A.To describe a disastrous scene.
B.To stress the serious situation.
C.To prove the scientificity of the method.
D.To show the complexity of ecosystems.
【2】What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A.The spreading of cities reduces chances of fires.
B.The policy of fire suppression proves to be effective.
C.Extreme fires are the main result of global warming.
D.Wildfires can be necessary part of ecosystems.
【3】Why do the engineers carry out controlled bums?
A.To monitor the forest fires.
B.To predict wildfires more accurately.
C.To develop new building materials.
D.To assess insurance costs.
【4】What is "a hazard scale" in the text？
A.A computer testing model.
B.A set of building criteria.
C.A fire warning system.
D.A fire loss assessment.
24、CHARITY HONORS SON’S MEMORY
Nonprofit providing gifts to 18 to 39-year-olds is raising memory
By PAM KRAOEN
RAMONA, Calif. — Before he died from cancer at age 29, Silas River Bennett spent his final months taking photographs of the world around him, emailing friends, buying Christmas gifts for his sisters and encouraging his family to give to the needy. “What was important to him was to have a sense of himself outside of cancer,” said his mom, Lorranie Kerz of Ramona.
Bennett went to the hospital in fall 2007 with severe back pains. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his bones. Doctors believed the cancer was environmentally caused, perhaps by exposure to some poisonous gas in the basement where he lived or poisons in the paints he used as a painter.
Kerz said her son was a man with a great sense of humor and a very creative mind. He had an “electric intellect” who loved debating, watching “Jeopardy!” — a game show on TV and telling stories with his photographs. After Bennett died in May 2008, Kerz wanted to honor the creative spirit and generosity of her son, whose nickname was “Sy”. The result was Sy’s Fund, a Romona-based all-volunteer national nonprofit that has fulfilled the wishes of more than 250 people aged 18 to 39 who are battling cancer. Sy’s Fund provides them with small gifts — such as laptops, cameras, guitar lessons, or printers — to lift their spirits and refocus their energies in a positive direction.
The group raises money through three fundraisers each year, such as golf tournaments and 5K races. This year, because of the COVID-19, they’re trying a virtual fundraiser for the first time. After registering online, participants must download the “Let’s Roam” app to their phones to donate. For those who want to apply for a wish grant, visit sysfund.org. The organization is also seeking more volunteer members. For details, email Kerz at lorraine@sysfund.org.
【1】Why did Kerz found Sy’s Fund?
A．To honour his son.
B．To get rid of cancer.
C．To make his son famous.
D．To gain more profit.
【2】What can we learn about Sy?
A．His cancer was caused by poisonous paints.
B．He spent his final months preparing for the fund.
C．He was energetic and lived a short but colorful life.
D．He died more than one year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
【3】How does Sy’s fund help the needy?
A．By seeking more volunteers to tell stories.
B．By downloading some apps to the phones.
C．By providing cancer patients with small gifts.
