21、Find it hard to get started? Try these suggestions to help you rise and shine – and be effective from morning till night.
● Get up earlier
Sleeping in can be a hard habit to break. Actually it involves two things – going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. Start off by going to bed 15 minutes before your usual turn-in time and setting your alarm the same number of minutes earlier the next day. 【1】 .
● Have a good stretch in bed
Before you even open your eyes, stretch every extremity (四肢) for 15 seconds. Lift your arm and begin by stretching each finger, next your hand, and then your arm. 【2】. End with a neck and back stretch that gets you out of bed. By doing this, you will enhance the flow of blood through your system, providing your tissues with extra oxygen.
● Set your clothes out the night before
The fewer choices you have to make first thing, the better. 【3】, work out which route you’ll take to work and pack your bag.
● Consult your morning calendar
Hang a large whiteboard in your kitchen. On it, write down all you need to know for that particular day, from doctor appointments to what you’re doing with your friends. Check it carefully while you sip your first cup of coffee or tea. 【4】.
● Get moving
【5】. But if you can get yourself into the habit, exercising in the morning can give you energy to jump-start your day.
A．Before going to bed, decide what you’re going to wear,
B．It will help you to structure your day.
C．Move on to your toes, feet and legs.
D．Spend less time choosing things when packing
E．Morning exercise can get you refreshed quickly.
F．If you’re a night owl, an early morning jog might sound like punishment.
G．Gradually reset your sleep cycle until you get to your desired wake-up time.
22、Brown rice is a tough sale when offered next to white. Despite the fact that brown rice is healthier, people prefer white rice because they think it just tastes better, just like folks opt for white bread instead of whole wheat. White rice and brown rice begin as the same thing—they come from the same grain, after all. But white rice is different from brown rice in terms of processing.
When rice is first harvested, it is washed, and the outer covering is removed from the grains. At this point, what you’re left with is brown rice. It still has several thin layers of bran coating the grain. To get white rice from that grain, it also has to be milled and polished down, removing the bran. That is why brown rice is a whole grain. It contains all parts of the grain, including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and endosperm. White rice has had the bran, the germ, much of the fiber, vitamins and other nutrients removed.
One cup of cooked brown rice contains 4 g of fiber and 5 g of protein, while one cup of cooked white rice contains only 1 g of fiber and 4 g of protein. But fiber isn’t the only benefit of brown rice. Studies have found that it can reduce the risk of diabetes.
One of the reasons white rice has soared in popularity is that it’s easier to cook. Not only does it take less time because the fibrous bran has been removed, but it turns out with a soft, delicious result more often than not. What makes brown rice so hard to prepare is the fact that you have to cook it long enough to soften the bran, but not so long that the inner grain turns mushy. This is tricky, but it’s not impossible. There are many foolproof methods you can use. One is to get a rice cooker, but if you’re not up for another appliance on your kitchen counter, there are other options.
【1】How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A．By making a comparison.
B．By quoting a proverb.
C．By using imagination.
D．By listing data.
【2】Which of the following is a difference between white rice and brown rice?
A．White rice is thicker.
B．Brown rice has better taste.
C．Brown rice is less processed.
D．White rice contains more vitamins.
【3】What makes white rice easier to cook compared to brown rice?
A．Having no bran.
B．Containing more fiber.
C．Having no endosperm.
D．Containing more protein.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to eating brown rice?
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Tolerant.
D．Curious.
23、Since I let go of my ayi before the Spring Festival, I’ve been on the look-out for a new one. My WeChat groups have recommended a Home King app, which has a more poetic Chinese name that means good health at home.
This app allows you to hire an ayi to either just clean, or cook + clean + watch kids, on a one-time basis. The sessions are four hours each and start from RMB 229. If you pay for a package of 25 sessions, it’ll cost you RMB 4,999 upfront, but ultimately comes out to less than RMB 200 per session. You can choose from a morning session from 8 a.m. to noon, or an afternoon session from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
One benefit of using the app is that they have a small army of ayis on standby and are ready to assign one to you at any time, though they do have a tendency to book out a few days in advance. Plus, once you find one that you really like, you can take note of her name and ask for her to return next time. This service also enjoys a reputation with many locals as being professional as well as friendly.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to hire an ayi through the app after you’ve downloaded it. After completing the registration, which is easiest by syncing with your WeChat account, you can choose either the blue button on the left for deep cleaning, or the orange button on the right for cooking, watching kids, and cleaning.
For instance, if you choose the deep-cleaning option on the left, on the next page click the second tab from the left. This lets you book an ayi for a single visit. Then click the button with the price on it to book your time slot (时段). Click the Buy Now button in the bottom right of the next page and click through the options until you get to the final page, where you’ll have to choose the date and time. To ensure how reliable the service is, a short message is always sent to you for confirmation.
【1】How much can you save at least if you pay for a package of 25 sessions?
A．RMB200.
B．RMB726.
C．RMB126.
D．RMB800.
【2】The service is highly thought of by customers because _______.
A．they can receive free service by putting down the ayi’s name
B．they can easily download the app by one click
C．they can get a 40% discount if booking ahead of time
D．they can hire friendly and professional people to help with housework
【3】Which can best explain the underlined phrase syncing with in Paragraph 4?

B．Closing.
C．Creating.
D．Changing.

24、 Most of us struggle through the time it takes to get a cup of coffee to our lips once our alarms go off. Luckily, this coffee-brewing alarm clock could make those few struggling minutes practically disappear.
An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists, and you can buy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never be the same.
Here’s how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water and pour ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker?
Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.
Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.
A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin to brew your coffee. And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm rings and you open your eyes. You won’t even have to leave your bed.
London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over $500,000 through donations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order on the website now, paying just $300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores and pay $420.
Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says “seize the day” quite like waking up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn’t limited to making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hot cup of coffee waiting for you.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every early morning Gleen would run to school to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived. Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old- fashioned coal stove in winter.
One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived, only to find the schoolhouse in flames. Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious. The lower half of his body was badly burned and he was immediately sent to a nearby hospital. From his bed, Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents. “He could hardly survive, ” the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. ”
“I don’t want to die, mum. ” Gleen told his mother. He was determined to survive. To the doctor’s amazement, he did survive. When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly. “He was bound to be disabled for life, ” the doctor whispered, “since the fire had destroyed so much flesh a in the lower part of his body. He can’t walk like a normal person. ”
“I will walk, dad. ” Gleen told his father. Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be disabled. But unfortunately, he has no feeling from the waist down. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital.
Back home, Gleen’s mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference. He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair. Yet his determination that he would walk never faded. Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand up and walk again.
On a lovely summer day, as usual, Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes (木桩) into the grassland. Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence.
